SOURCE/FULL REFERENCEZineldin, Mosad (2004) Co-opetition: the organisation of the future, Marketing Intelligence and Planning, Vol22, No7, pp.780-789 | DESCRIPTIONCo-opetition. The hybrid behaviour of competition and cooperation or Sleeping with the enemy? | ANALYSIS (CONCEPTS, EXAMPLES, STATUS OF SOURCE, CRITIQUE etc)Dr Mosad Zineldin is a Professor of Strategic Marketing and a Master in Psychology. He has wrote and published several books and articles in many different international journals, notably his book on TRM, the first in the world to outline the framework of relationship management.However, his article “Co-opetition: the organisation of the future” (marketing, intelligence & planning, Vol 22 No7, 2004 pp.780-789) suggests that this is a new concept of cooperation between companies or has Zineldin linked this to support his work on TRM? Co-opetition is qualified for the first time by Nalebuff and Brandenburger (1996) which surprisingly Zineldin fails to recognize in the article! But even these esteemed authors cannot take credit for the concept of Co-opetition; this accolade is accredited to Mr Ray Noorda, who in 1983 brought together hardware and software companies to work together in a networked environment, a “culture fit” which supports Bengtsson and Kock (2000). “co-opetition thus implies that organisations can interact in rivalry due to conflicting interests, and at the same time co-operate...

Which of the available conflict management strategies is most appropriate for the current situation with David and James? Provide your rationale, including what factors you considered in making your selection. Your response should be at least 100 words. The most obvious choice to me would be the collaboration conflict management plan. However, this situation is highly unlikely because it involves full cooperation for all parties involved. Therefore, I would have to fall back the accommodation conflict management plan. The problem with David and James is that they are not cooperating together and their communication to each other is lacking. This plan involves cooperation. These two would need to cooperate...

This article shows the unique performance contribution of self-commitment in the context of cooperative internationalization of SMEs in several ways: First, we use a multiparadigmatic approach to cooperation theory to argue why self-commitment as a coordination mechanism is particularly relevant in the context of cooperative internationalization. Second, we develop a new operationalization of self-commitment which takes the context of international cooperations into account. Third, we show empirically that self-commitment is particularly important in international cooperations by applying a PLS analysis to a sample of 146 Austrian, Czech, and Slovenian cooperating SMEs. ª 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

...Enerolisa Paredes ENG 111 Prof. Bryant The Selfless Gene In "The Selfless Gene," Olivia Judson's fundamental point is to demonstrate how altruistic behavior is something that is not adapted, but rather is an inborn hereditary characteristic. When talking about selflessness in term of how animals behave and conform to their norms it is somewhat instinctual to assume that selflessness in a gene that is carried down generation to generation. In the case of humans selfless is more of a complex term simply because they are complex creatures. Altruism is something that sometimes is applauded in society but it can also be associated with stupidity. It is human nature to evaluate the circumstances that surrounds us. We are evolutionarily designed to steer away from danger in sight of self-preservation. As intelligent creatures we have the capability of overwriting this desire if the situation presents with the need of being selfless. Even thought Judson considers altruism to be hereditary, there are reasons to believe there are environmental and educational factors, as well as moral principles that shape it. Judson refers to William Donald Hamilton, a developmental researcher who asserted that these qualities that express selflessness would get by in gatherings of creatures that lived together. He illustrated this point by explaining how bees defend their hive by sacrificing their lives. He also added how some animals helps others offspring instead of having some of its own. Under such...

...We all have aspirations to be successful, but imagine your dreams slowly drifting off and your goals suddenly unattainable. But fear not, for living amongst us are those who put aside their needs to help others attain their goals in the face of hardships. We call them selfless. The woman who flashed a pleasant smile as she held the door open for you on your way out from a tough day at work; the friend who comforted you in a time of need although he was struggling with troubles of his own; the first respondents to the tragedy that was 9/11 and hurricane Katrina. Without a rigid set of guidelines to define the word, selflessness or altruism can take many different shapes and sizes depending on the situation at hand and the willingness of the selfless. But a definition that encompasses all acts of selflessness can practically be found within the word itself. Selfless. The suffix "-less" means without, so selfless can be thought of as “without oneself”. That woman, that friend, that brave firefighter or Red Cross volunteer acted with the best interests of the other in mind, no matter the consequences their actions may have brought upon themselves. It is this loss of self that characterizes selflessness best. The goal of the altruistic is to help those in need as best they can, but just as no two keys fit the same lock, selflessness, in a general sense of the word, is not adequate to solve each of our problems. So it makes sense that, in a world where our problems are as diverse as...

...WATER AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ARAB REGION Introduction Climate change (CC) refers to a change in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity (IPCC ,2007). Science established a causal effect between the acceleration of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and CC effects (IPCC ,2007), Global GHG emissions due to human activities have grown since pre-industrial times, with an increase of 70% between 1970 and 2004. Among the world’s regions, Arab region is especially vulnerable to climate change. It is one of the world’s driest, most water-scarce regions, depends on climate-sensitive agriculture. Per capita renewable water resources in the region, which in 1950 were 4,000 m3 per year, are currently 1,100 m3 per year. Projections indicate that they will drop by half, reaching 550 m3 per person per year in 2050.( World bank, 2006). In addition, climate-induced resource scarcity could further tensions in the region’s conflict-ridden areas, potentially escalating violence and political turmoil even beyond the region’s boundaries. This is supported by the fact that 80% of surface water resources and 66 % of total water resources in the Arab region is a shared water esources. Climate change is putting additional...

...to standardize the process. For example with trademark, The Madrid Agreement which concerns the international registration of marks and the Madrid Protocole are the Madrid Union. It enables registration with the trademark office of a country member and the obtention of an international registration that provides protection in many other Madrid Union countries as the appliquant chooses ( 85 members in 2012). For Copyright the Berne union gives a minimum level of copyright protection for all members coutries. A Citizen of any member country may patent an invention in any of the member countries and enjoy the same benefits of patent protection as if the inventor were a Citizen of those countries. With respect to patents, the Patent Cooperation Treaty facilitates the application for patent in multiple countries, enabling the firm to pay only the single PCT application fee. But other factors have to be considered : Publication of information about the technology. The firm must apply for a patent before publish information about the technology. The publication before applying will bar the right to a patent except America where there is a « one year grace » and you can publish information one year before apply for a patent. But if an american firm wants a patent protection in multiple countries, it must enforce the standard of applying for patent...

...Animal Science is described as "studying the biology of animals that are under the control of mankind".[1] Historically, the degree was called animal husbandry and the animals studied were livestock species, like cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and horses. Today, courses available now look at a far broader area to include companion animals like dogs and cats, and many exotic species. Degrees in Animal Science are offered at a number of colleges and universities. In the United States, the universities offering such a program were Land Grant Universities and include University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Cornell University, UC Davis, Michigan State University, Purdue University, The Ohio State University, The Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Minnesota. Typically, the Animal Science curriculum not only provides a strong science background, but also hands-on experience working with animals on campus-based farms. Professional education in animal science prepares students for career opportunities in areas such as animal breeding, food and fiber production, nutrition, animal agribusiness, animal behavior and welfare, and biotechnology. Courses in a typical Animal Science program may include genetics, microbiology, animal behavior, nutrition, physiology, and reproduction. Courses in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects, and the environment also are offered. All of these courses are essential to entering an animal science...
