Increased globalization of trade has led a growing number of firms to search beyond their traditional domestic markets and focus on high-growth export markets not only to expand but also to ensure their very survival. As a result, the role of exporting in firms' activity has become increasingly important. Recognition of this is reflected in the fact that the area of export performance has been gaining increased attention among academics and managers. Research into export performance dates back to the innovating work of Tookey (1964); since then there have been numerous studies published over the last four decades that have been concerned with the export performance of the firm. However, in spite of these research efforts, there is a lack of synthesis and agreement in the conceptualizati...

Four studies investigated the dimensionality of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI; P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992). In Study 1, four inferential dimensions and four clusters represented the NEO-FFI when 114 undergraduates freely sorted items into categories. Construct validity for four item-clusters derived from the inferential space was obtained in Study 2 based on selfreport with 304 undergraduates. Study 3 validated these inferential clusters using self and peer reports for 420 undergraduates. Study 4 validated the cluster scales for predicting quality of life and significant social and cultural behaviours for 110 undergraduates. Implications for implicit personality theory, the number of dimensions issue in personality, and test construction are discussed.

The new 14-disc stereo collection coming out on Sept. 9 -- 09-09-09, get it? -- features each of the band's studio albums along with a double-disc collection of singles, most which weren't released on any of the Beatles' LPs. As the Beatles' songwriting got more complex, so too did the dynamic range on later albums when they stopped touring and became a studio band. The vocal effects and backwards guitar on Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver) ring out loud and clear; the sounds of birds chirping, horses galloping, dogs barking and cats mewing burst out of the right speaker while Harrison's guitar squeals hit your left eardrum on Good Morning Good Morning (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band); and the high-pitched frequencies and various background noises on I Am the Walrus (Magical Mys...

The development of Medium and small enterprises (SMEs) in China are feeing many difficulties to overcome its economic contradictions and problems. Financing will bear the brunt. As the SME's own characteristics, which is small and the controllable resources are scarcer, often are growing rapidly, and require large capital investments. The current situation of SME financing is not good. The paper contributes using the basic method of statistical analysis of variance according to the research on financing difficulties of SMEs in relation to their business risks. Firstly the solvency indexes reflect the businesses are illustrated. Secondly, the paper introduces the basic principles of variance analysis and homogeneity of variance test and variance analysis of multiple comparisons. Finally ...

Research on the effects of e-service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction and behavioural intentions has used cross-sectional data from customer surveys. To draw managerial implications, such research assumes that model parameters estimated across service provider customers apply also to the service providers. The current study collects e-service data that fully cross respondents with retailer websites. These crossed data are then used to compare the modelled effects of quality dimensions estimated on the confounded data with those estimated across customers and those estimated across websites. The results provide evidence of considerable inconsistency, suggesting that managers should not rely on conclusions drawn from an analysis of variation across customers.

To estimate the time-warping functions for a dataset, we again call upon the idea of roughness penalties. As before with the curve estimation, we have two competing goals in registration: On the one hand, we want to line up all the features of the curves, and on the other hand, we do not want the time-warping function to be too rough, because taken to an extreme this would be "over-registering" the curves in the same way that it is possible to "over-fit" a model to data. In order to balance these two goals in our registration procedure, we need quantitative measures of each. For the first registration goal, researchers have developed a "misfit" measure MF, quantifying the amount of misalignment between features of the curves, which is analogous to the sums of squared errors in curve est...
