Managerial defections, promotion criteria and firm growth

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Junior managers' learning decisions and career expectations, promotion criteria, and parent firms' growth strategies are interdependent. We study this interdependence in a two-stage game where a junior manager invests in unobservable industry-specific learning in response to the firm's growth strategy. In the absence of a credible promotion criterion the firm is unable to insure itself fully against defections, growth is low and ex-post regrettable managerial promotions may occur. Higher growth relaxes promotion decisions and erodes managers' learning incentives, whereas lower growth generates the opposite effect but increases the likelihood of defections.

A RESEARCH ON THE UREA HYDROLYSIS RATE IN THE SOILS OF THRACE REGION

It seems that urea fertilizers have advantages over ammonium nitrate fertilizers in terms of leaching losses when they are applied in February. On the other hand, the losses from the urea fertilizers in the form of NH3 gas when they are applied in February which is damp and cool, may be considered to be non signifi cant, which becomes a profound idea. Conducting fi eld trials on the investigation of suitable time and rate of urea fertilizers application may be suggested a way to be followed. According to the diagnosis from the research, hydrolyse of urea is bound to features of the soil. In the beginning of the incubation for the fact hydrolysis of urea is fast that features of soil. Dry wheat agriculture which takes major part in our agriculture, urea’s progress of hydrolysis ensure suitable and balanced fertilizing and also ensure the amount and quality of crop increase in a fi eld. It has to be emphasized with processing of an adequate and balanced program of fertilizing is useful both our economy and environment

Measurements of Radiative Vacancy Transfer Probabilities for Some Elements Irradiated with Photons of 0.0208 Nanometer Wavelengths

The radiative vacancy transfer probabilities of K to L2, L3, M2, M3 sub-shells were calculated using the experimental K level widths and theoretical partial radiative transitions. The targets were irradiated with photons of 0.0208 nm wavelength. It has been observed that the obtained values in the present study agree with theoretical results, theoretical predictions and the other available experimental values.

Nanoscale addressing and manipulation of neutral atoms using electromagnetically induced transparency

We propose to integrate dark-state based localization techniques into a neutral atom quantum computing architecture and numerically investigate two specific schemes. The first scheme implements state-selective projective measurement by scattering photons from a specific qubit with very little cross talk on the other atoms in the ensemble. The second scheme performs a single-qubit phase gate on the target atom with an incoherent spontaneous emission probability as low as 0.01. Our numerical simulations in rubidium (Rb) atoms show that for both of these schemes a spatial resolution at the level of tens of nanometers using near-infrared light can be achieved with experimentally realistic parameters

Molecular structure, vibrational spectral investigation and the confirmation analysis of 4-Methylesculetin molecule

WOS: 000333614200003In this work, FT-IR, FT-Raman, and FT-NMR spectra of 4-Methylesculetin molecule are presented for the first time. FT-IR, FT-Raman, and FT-NMR spectra of 4MEC have been recorded and analyzed. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of this molecule are recorded at 4000-400 cm(-1) and 50-3500 cm(-1), respectively. The infrared vibrational frequencies, absolute intensities, potential energy profile, HOMO-LUMO plot and NBO analysis of the molecule have been also predicted using Becke's three-parameter hybrid B3LYP method in the density functional theory DFT method. Calculated and experimental data are in good agreement.Ahi Evran University Research FundAhi Evran University [FEN.4003.12.013]Y.
