journal provides information on a study that was carried out to measure the impact of heterogeneity and performance of an international organization. The journal tests the relationship between heterogeneity of a team specifically on the issues of cultural differences and the effectiveness of such a team. The main argument is that transnational teams once they have successfully overcome the challenges of heterogeneity will create a certain culture that is unique to them through which effective evaluation
Defining the product strategy and pricing are the most critical activities for every company. These activities include the creation of such a product that meets the needs and desires of specific groups of customers. In order to satisfy customers' needs, it is crucial to identify optimal combination of marketing mix elements. In succeeding that, managers have to find the answer to the questions like: What product's characteristics are relevant for the customers? Is there a need for designing variety
Heterogeneity and diversity fill in an entire target market or in other words, in the group of probable consumers of a product. For example, consumers of laptops do not merely include those individuals looking for a portable alternative to desktop computers. Some of them might want a cheap entry-level laptop while others want those expensive high-performing ones. There are also those who might consider large screen displays while others prefer those ultra-portable variants that they can easily carry
toward common codes and practices (homogeneity) or to a situation in which many cultures interact to create a kind of imitation or a blend leading to a variety of hybrids (heterogeneity). Firstly looking at heterogeneity, hybridization is a fundamental theory that correlates directly with heterogeneity and the concept that heterogeneity is the mixing of dissimilar ethics, ideas, languages, sexes, ages, or anything, which can be shaped into context to produce one diverse figure. Hybridization comprises
concurrent and transparent system. Internet is the largest example of a distributed system. Internet in made of humongous amount of systems and devices interconnected to each other via a common medium. Following are the attributes of internet: Heterogeneity : Heterogeneous nature of internet is one of the main factors for popularity of internet. We can be connected to internet by multiple devices – mobile phones, laptop computers, PDAs, etc. Moreover, internet itself is made up of millions of small
theories, the Pathways Model takes into account a number of characteristics or risk factors that appear to be common among sex offenders. What seems to set it apart from some of the other etiological theories is that it more fully considers the heterogeneity of offenders, rather than assuming that all offenders follow the same or very similar path to offending, and does so in a way that it makes more clear what some of the differing implications for interventions might be. And that further emphasizes
Population heterogeneity theory posits that individuals have inherent differences in traits, behaviors, and capabilities that influence their likelihood of engaging in criminal activities. Mr. C's traits such as low self-control, sensation-seeking behavior, and a tendency
Although heterogeneity is most likely to characterize most psychological and criminological categories, researchers conceptualized some shared characteristics between serial killers. Although heterogeneity exists within any psychological or criminological category, certain common characteristics are found among serial killers. Demographic and descriptive features Serial murderers are typically white males in their twenties to forties, yet those whose crimes go undetected for many years are likely
PUNISHMENT AS A MECHANISM TO MAINTAIN BILATERAL COOPERATION: A SOCIAL BEHAVIOR EXPERIMENT October 1st 2014 KAIRONG HONG AND LIANG ZHANG Central South University Hypothesis and Methodology. Hypothesis 1: Individuals will display behavioral heterogeneity in their response to different punishment experiments. Hypothesis 2: In comparison with second-party punishment, third-party punishment will involve a reduction in the punishment cost. Hypothesis 3: Third-party intervention will enhance the potential
Social disorganization is the most important; it was developed by the Chicago School. The theory goes on to further explain and link crime rates to the neighborhood’s macro-level (ecological) characteristics. The theory’s focus is that ethnic heterogeneity, low socioeconomic status, and residential mobility reduce the capacity of community residents to control crime. The development of the Social

being cultural heterogeneity and collective efficacy. In neighborhoods collective efficacy is relevant regardless of the racial or socioeconomic make up of the area, as it comprises the neighborhoods trust and cohesion with shared expectations of control, which in response determines the public order of that community. In these communities we then find cultural heterogeneity, which is defined as the existence of a myriad of competing and conflicting cultural models. Cultural Heterogeneity, according
External heterogeneity may not seem important but if there is a company that has a strong internal homogeneity but the values and beliefs do not coincide with outside consumer values and beliefs, there is a chance for a company to fail because the consumers do not agree
For decades researchers have speculated about the relationship between levels of violence, and societal conditions such as poverty, urbanism, population composition, and family disruption. National and international level research has concluded that each of these factors are related to crime rates and their trends overtime (Avison & Loring, 1986; Lafree, 1999, Lauristen & Carbone-Lopez, 2011). To examine these factors more closely we should recognize that they are the foundation of many criminological
Summary: Background and objective. Tumor heterogeneity is shown to be related to clinical outcome in cancer patients. The concept of a small subset of cancer stem cells being responsible for tumor relapse and metastasis comes out as a promising strategy for targeted cancer therapy. However, cancer stem cells are not easy to identify and isolate. The aim of this study was to determine the putative colon cancer stem cell subsets in human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and HT29, which differ in their
find it impossible to solve the community problems at hand (Chambers, 2000). Factors within these communities become a cycle that becomes increasingly more difficult to break. Factors, such as low socioeconomic status, residential mobility, and heterogeneity, in addition to the social disorganization, produce criminals. Low socioeconomic status means
Is it possible to understand the nature of globalisation? This is a question that has led to fervent debates, and has confounded sociologists in their pursuit to explain the mechanics of globalisation (Machida 2012). Globalisation is the most dominant social phenomenon that has shaped social interactions around the world in the modern age (Ritzer & Ryan 2002). In an age where people socialise beyond their immediate communities, where a Japanese person can purchase an American product that’s made
that the popular belief that the deep sea is little more than an “ocean desert” is a pure fallacy. Contrary to such thinking a multitude of benthic organisms dwell on the ocean bottom; despite the frigid temperatures and high pressure, a large heterogeneity of creatures, rivaling in variety and number those inhabiting tropical rainforests, thrive in this environment. The “analogy of the ocean desert” arose from the technologically inadvanced photographs and sampling equipment prior to the 1960’s
In the book ‘Creating a New Racial Order’, the authors Hochschild, Weaver & Bruch place the argument that a new racial order is emerging in the United States, and that it is the consequence of an increasing heterogeneity between and within the racial & ethnic groups. The authors use typology of categories, classification of individuals, relative positions of groups, permission and prohibitions controlled by the state, and the social relations within and between groups as a framework to analyze and
demonstrated by the stark, divisive contrasts in recent election results. Online space is also found to be divided into left and right clusters in recent studies. This study tests the relationships between social media, social network service network heterogeneity, and opinion polarization. Questions/Expectations: The overarching question: does social media facilitate or attenuate polarization? The investigators identify and test two competing expectations about polarization.
