For this purpose, we develop a split population model of the recall decision by employers, since only a portion of unemployed workers is ever recalled. Age, qualification, contract type, previous tenure and wage levels, and the level of benefits are important determinants of both whether and when a recall to the previous employer is initiated Sun, 31 Mar 2013 22:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10016/16792 2013-03-31T22:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10016/13410 Title: MBA students and their motivation to star-up their own enterprises : an international experience Author(s): Casasola, María José; Cardone Riportella, Clara Abstract: The postgraduate studies give the opportunities to the graduates to develop skills and abilities to discover new business opportunities and to star-up their own business. In this paper we analyse the impact of postgraduate studies on the entrepreneurial activity developed by MBA graduates. We find empirical support for the relevant role played by the fact of belonging to a entrepreneurial culture family, individual personality characteristics (non-risk averse, creativity, taking initiative, teamwork skills). The paper also analyse the marginal gender effects that moderate the entrepreneurial activity intention. For this reseach a survey has been buit ad hoc for MBA itnernatioanl students of three Public Spanish Universities’ Master on-line on Business Administration programme Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10016/13410 2012-01-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10016/13150 Title: EBTs en España: tipos de EBTs y su impacto en la productividad Author(s): Casasola, María José; García-Castro, Roberto; Revilla Torrejón, Antonio Abstract: Las Empresas de Base Tecnológica (EBTs) vienen recibiendo una atención creciente por parte de la literatura académica, consciente de su importancia para el progreso técnico, la mejora de la productividad y el crecimiento económico. No obstante, la investigación al respecto adolece de falta de consenso en torno al propio concepto de EBT. Distintos trabajos emplean diferentes criterios, en muchas ocasiones guiados más por cuestiones de conveniencia y disponibilidad de datos que por argumentos teóricos. El presente trabajo revisa dichos criterios y, utilizando herramientas tomadas de la teoría de conjuntos, los combina para construir una tipología que recoge diferentes configuraciones de empresas, principalmente en función de su relación con la tecnología. Esta metodología nos permite explorar en detalle la heterogeneidad existente dentro de las EBTs, concepto que puede dar cobijo a tipos de empresas muy diferentes, y llevar a cabo un análisis causal, identificando las configuraciones de empresas que conducen a la obtención de una elevada productividad. Para el análisis empleamos datos procedentes del PITEC (2007).

Previous works have typically used a partial definition of family firm based on one or more of these three aspects. In this empirical work we seek to clarify the definitions and typologies of family firms by using fuzzy sets qualitative comparative analysis (fs/QCA). Based on this methodology, we propose a hierarchical classification of family firms based on necessity and sufficiency conditions, including some possible overlapping among alternative types. We use an international sample of 6,611 companies from different industries and national/legal systems. Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10016/5687 2009-10-31T23:00:00Z
