Upper echelons research in marketing
Marketing scholars have recently embraced the study of the corporate upper echelons—the executives and board members atop the organizational hierarchy. However, management scholars have researched the upper echelons for decades, with frequent forays into the marketing strategy domain. As a result of progressing in two separate disciplines, the literature on marketing strategy and the upper echelons is fragmented and disjointed. We develop an organizing framework to review extant research and assess and synthesize the knowledge in the upper echelons marketing strategy domain. Our review covers the 14 most influential marketing and management journals from 1984 through February, 2020. Given the relative newness of this research within marketing, we develop a conceptual model fusing existing theory in the upper echelons and marketing strategy literatures, and use this to identify key blind spots and underdeveloped areas of knowledge caused by the two fields’ independent evolutions. Finally, we also examine challenges associated with conducting research in this area and provide recommendations to help researchers and reviewers navigate these challenges to advance theory and practice
Measurement of the two-jet differential cross section in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1800 GeV
A measurement is presented of the two-jet differential cross section d(3)sigma /dE(T)d eta (1)d eta (2) at center of mass energy roots = 1800 GeV in p (p) over bar collisions. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 86 pb(-1) collected during 1994 to 1995 by the CDF Collaboration at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The differential cross section is measured as a function of the transverse energy E-T of a jet in the pseudorapidity region 0.1(1)\<0.7 for four different pseudorapidity bins of a second jet restricted to 0.1<\ eta (2) \<3.0. The results are compared with next-to-leading order QCD calculations determined using the CTEQ4 and MRST sets of parton distribution functions. None of the sets ex.amined in this analysis provides a good description of the data
