Organizational culture and human resources management in multinational companies under the conditions of intercultural environment

The aim of this paper is to present the opinion and experiences of professionals on specifics of human resources management and organizational culture forming in multinational companies. The theoretical knowledge is in confrontation with the results of sociological questioning in the form of structured interviews with managers of multinational companies branches in Slovakia. The starting point of the research was hypothesis about respecting national culture specifics in culture of multinational company culture. We can proof this hypothesis by research; the majority of companies apply transnational and polycentric approach to create local branch culture

Diagnostics of Collisions between Electrons and Water Molecules in Near-ultraviolet and Visible Wavelengths

We studied the dissociation reactions of electron impact on water vapor for several fragment species at optical and near-ultraviolet wavelengths (200?850 nm). The resulting spectrum is dominated by the hydrogen Balmer series, by the OH (A (2)?(+);?;X (2)?) band, and by the emission of ionic H2O+(A (2)A(1);?;X B-2(1)) and OH+(A (3)?;?;X (3)?(?)) band systems. Emission cross sections and reaction channel thresholds were determined for energies between 5 and 100 eV. We find that the electron impact dissociation of H2O results in an emission spectrum of the OH (A (2)?(+);?;X (2)?) band that is distinctly different from the emission spectra from other excitation mechanisms seen in planetary astronomy. We attribute the change to a strongly non-thermal population of rotational states seen in planetary astronomy. This difference can be utilized for remote probing of the contribution of different physical reactions in astrophysical environments.NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science InstituteSpace Telescope Science Institute [HST-GO-15625.001, NAS5-26555]; European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme [692335]; Slovak Research and Development AgencySlovak Research and Development Agency [APVV-15-0580]; Slovak Grant Agency for ScienceVedecka grantova agentura MSVVaS SR a SAV (VEGA) [VEGA 1/0733/17]This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.

Electron impact excitation of methane: determination of appearance energies for dissociation products

In this work, we present an experimental study of dissociative excitation of CH₄ utilizing a crossed electron molecular beam experiment. Methane was excited by nearly monochromatic electrons generated by a trochoidal electron monochromator. The dissociative products were identified on the basis of the emission spectra in the ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) spectral range. The excitation functions were recorded as the function of the electron energy for different emission bands of the fragments (Balmer series for H: n = 3,4...9→2, and moreover, CH: A²Δ→X²Π, CH: B²Σ⁻→ X²Π, CH: C²Σ⁺→ X²Π, CH⁺: B¹Δ→ A¹Π, and CI: 2p3s ¹Po₁→2p² ¹S₀). From the experimental data we have determined the threshold energies for excitation of particular fragments. Present experimental results indicate that the threshold energies for some dissociative excitation channels could be lower by ~1–2 eV in comparison to earlier studies and indicate that different dissociative processes may be operative at the threshold than assumed in the former studies
