TL;DR: A review of the literature on identification in organizations can be found in this article, where the authors outline a continuum from narrow to broad formulations and differentiates situated identification from deep identification and organizational identification from organizational commitment.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model of board processes by integrating the literature on boards of directors with group dynamics and workgroup effectiveness, and the resulting model illuminates the complexity of board dynamics and paves the way for future empirical research that expands and refines our understanding of what makes boards effective.
Abstract: Recent research developments underscore the need for research on the processes that link board demography with firm performance. In this article we develop a model of board processes by integrating the literature on boards of directors with the literature on group dynamics and workgroup effectiveness. The resulting model illuminates the complexity of board dynamics and paves the way for future empirical research that expands and refines our understanding of what makes boards effective.
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for collecting, storing, and retrieving data in a database management system is presented, where a transaction file corresponding to the transaction in an outbox of a workgroup user client is copied to an inbox identified to the workgroup client.
Abstract: A method of and system for collecting, storing, and retrieving data in a database management system. The database management system includes a master database server (4), at least one workgroup server (315), and a plurality of workgroup user clients (310). The workgroup server (315) is interposed between the master database server (4) and said workgroup user clients (310). The method creating a transaction in a local database resident on one of the workgroup user clients (310), entering the transaction into a transaction log resident on the workgroup user client (310), and creating a transaction file corresponding to the transaction in an outbox of said workgroup user client (310). Next, the transaction file is copied to an inbox identified to the workgroup user client (310) and updating the transaction file into a workgroup database (305) resident on the workgroup server (315). The workgroup database (305) includes a transaction log.
TL;DR: The reserve, resilience, and protective factors professional interest area established a whitepaper workgroup to develop consensus definitions for cognitive reserve, brain reserve, and brain maintenance and evaluated measures that have been used to implement these concepts in research settings and developed guidelines for research that explores or utilizes these concepts.
Abstract: Several concepts, which in the aggregate get might be used to account for "resilience" against age- and disease-related changes, have been the subject of much research. These include brain reserve, cognitive reserve, and brain maintenance. However, different investigators have use these terms in different ways, and there has never been an attempt to arrive at consensus on the definition of these concepts. Furthermore, there has been confusion regarding the measurement of these constructs and the appropriate ways to apply them to research. Therefore the reserve, resilience, and protective factors professional interest area, established under the auspices of the Alzheimer's Association, established a whitepaper workgroup to develop consensus definitions for cognitive reserve, brain reserve, and brain maintenance. The workgroup also evaluated measures that have been used to implement these concepts in research settings and developed guidelines for research that explores or utilizes these concepts. The workgroup hopes that this whitepaper will form a reference point for researchers in this area and facilitate research by supplying a common language.
