Invertebrate nervous systems are highly disparate between different taxa. This is reflected in the terminology used to describe them, which very rich and often confusing. Even general terms such as 'brain', 'nerve', 'eye' have been various ways animal groups, but no consensus on exact meaning exists. impedes our understanding of architecture invertebrate system evolutionary transformations characters taxa.We provide a glossary neuroanatomical with precise consistent terminology,...
ABSTRACT This article contributes to research on dynamic managerial capabilities, which examines impact firms' strategic change. Specifically, we study the role of social capital—a key underpinning capabilities—in organizations' We propose a temporally contingent account that elucidates how fitness capabilities unfolds across life cycle stages and varying degrees change pressures. start by testing our theoretical model using data 20,593 individuals in 5522 new ventures over period 5 years. A...
Abstract Public corporations often appoint external former founders to their boards in hope that they will encourage a (re‐)focus on creating future new business. Seeking investigate this common practice, we integrate upper echelons theory with imprinting theory, arguing founding company indeed represents formative experience leave an imprint and subsequent board decision‐making. Subsequent experience, however, some may be subjected likewise but public corporate experiences, for instance, by...
Chaetognaths (arrow worms) play an important role as predators in planktonic food webs. Their phylogenetic position is unresolved, and among the numerous hypotheses, affinities to both protostomes deuterostomes have been suggested. Many aspects of their life history, including ontogenesis, are poorly understood and, though some embryonic postembryonic development described, knowledge early neural still limited. This study sets out provide new insights into neurogenesis newly hatched Spadella...
Abstract Research Summary Building on human capital theory, this study establishes the concept of “sharedness” competencies in founding teams. Based prominent entrepreneurship research, we differentiate among entrepreneurial, managerial, and technical competencies. We test our model with 1,863 teams US‐based new ventures by means a multisource dataset that uses LinkedIn skills endorsements sections to measure novel way. The results suggest strong sharedness entrepreneurial is positively...
Abstract Human capital theory establishes that the human gained in prior work experience, such as traditional corporations, is associated with subsequent entrepreneurial success. However, this perspective does not accommodate increasingly boundaryless careers, during which individuals switch between career tracks both directions. As a result, research to date unable explain whether experience failure drives corporate We extend existing by theorizing and testing empirically activity builds...
Abstract Why are some firms more resilient when systemic shocks like the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) or COVID‐19 pandemic set in? We approach this question by arguing that a firm's pre‐shock strategic emphasis on innovation can mitigate consequences of such facilitating stability and flexibility, major components organizational resilience, as shock sets in. test our arguments empirically analyzing data from 2003 to 2011 many 994 S&P 1500 identify causes their resilience during 2008...
New ventures are essential for developing innovations and generating economic societal value, but they depend on external resources, especially from venture capitalists, who provide seed funding to make necessary advances in the development commercialization of their innovative products. From marketing discipline's perspective, question is whether actions play a role this early acquisition critical resources. Building organizational legitimacy theory, authors argue that trademark...
The enigmatic arrow worms (Chaetognatha) are marine carnivores and among the most abundant planktonic organisms. Their phylogenetic position has been heavily debated for a long time. Most recent molecular studies still provide diverging picture suggest to be some kind of basal protostomes. In an effort understand organization nervous system in this clade broad comparison with other Metazoa we analysed ultrastructure ventral nerve centre Spadella cephaloptera by transmission electron...
Abstract. We examined the brain architecture in different species of Chaetognatha using immunofluorescence methods with a set nervous system markers and confocal laser‐scan microscopic analysis. These include antibodies against synaptic proteins, RFamide‐related peptides, tyrosinated tubulin, as well marker cell nuclei. Furthermore, we present 3D reconstruction based on histological section series. Our results expand previous knowledge neuroanatomy Chaetognatha. suggest structural functional...
Abstract Emerging evidence suggests that Chaetognatha represent an evolutionary lineage is the sister group to all other Protostomia thus promoting these animals as a pivotal model for our understanding of bilaterian history. We have analyzed proliferation neuronal progenitor cells in developing ventral nerve center (VNC) Spadella cephaloptera hatchlings. To end, first time Chaetognatha, we performed vivo incorporation experiments with S‐phase specific mitosis marker bromodeoxyuridine...
While research on the consequences of organizational commitment to IT has focused outcomes interest shareholders, such as profitability and firm value, recent also considered other stakeholders that might benefit from an increased IT, especially customers. We extend this line literature by investigating benefits a firm’s for firms’ employees, stakeholder group uses depends heavily in its daily work. This exploratory study links with nonmonetary employee metrics job satisfaction work-life...
This study examines whether corporates follow their peers' decision to invest corporate venture capital (CVC). We draw upon information-based herding theory explain why CVC activities might be subject and argue further that is fortified when face substantial levels of market, technological or investment uncertainty. To empirically test our hypotheses, we construct a multi-source, multi-industry dataset large U.S. between 1993 2018. measure by using novel identification approach grounds in...
New ventures depend on early access to the external resources that especially venture capitalists can provide. We examine role of narcissism and its seven dimensions, e.g. authority, entitlement or superiority in seed funding acquisition process. Based congruity theory, we explore this relationship light location taking differing expectations towards founder into account. Using a multi-source dataset 634 new high-tech US, reveal positive influence even contradictory dimensions show...
Imprinting theory suggests that in the first few months after founding, new ventures adopt characteristics of their founding environment to establish initial organizational structures, including overarching approach toward functional differentiation, i.e., extent which organizations specialized functions. Largely unknown are conditions under such imprints persist over time and circumstances adaptations may occur. To contribute this discussion, present study considers entry venture...
