Business Groups and Strategic Coopetition
Business Groups and Strategic Coopetition sheds lights on the poorly recognised problem of intra-organisational relationships within business groups by adopting the coopetition lens.It brings together the strategic management (coopetition and performance) and international management perspectives (business groups and its role in the economy).It is a unique proposition as those two research streams, such as business groups and coopetition, are rarely assessed together.The coopetition, which is seen as the strategy of value creating in the rapidly changing environment, brings benefits, such as an increased innovation, cost reduction, access to resources, and improved competitive position that could be captured by business groups as well.However, the understanding of complex organisations, such as business group, and answering the question how to manage intra-level coopetition to gain better performance therein is still unclear.Therefore, the book aims to extend the knowledge in the field of internal relationships within business groups as well as the coopetition phenomenon.This book is written to meet needs of researchers, students as well as managers and to present an integrated view on the coopetition within business groups.

Community Groups in Context : Local Activities and Actions
In the past decade community groups have been portrayed as the solution to many social problems. Yet the role of ‘below the regulatory radar’ community action has received little research attention and thus is poorly understood in terms of both policy and practice. Focusing on self-organised community activity, this book offers the first collection of papers developing theoretical and empirically grounded knowledge of the informal, unregistered, yet largest, part of the voluntary sector.The collection includes work from leading academics, activists, policy makers and practitioners offering a new and coherent understanding of community action ‘below the radar’. The book is part of the Third Sector Research Series which is informed by research undertaken at the Third Sector Research Centre, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Barrow Cadbury Trust.

Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups
Ever since the concepts of Galois groups in algebra and fundamental groups in topology emerged during the nineteenth century, mathematicians have known of the strong analogies between the two concepts.This book presents the connection starting at an elementary level, showing how the judicious use of algebraic geometry gives access to the powerful interplay between algebra and topology that underpins much modern research in geometry and number theory.Assuming as little technical background as possible, the book starts with basic algebraic and topological concepts, but already presented from the modern viewpoint advocated by Grothendieck.This enables a systematic yet accessible development of the theories of fundamental groups of algebraic curves, fundamental groups of schemes, and Tannakian fundamental groups.The connection between fundamental groups and linear differential equations is also developed at increasing levels of generality.Key applications and recent results, for example on the inverse Galois problem, are given throughout.

The Oxford Handbook of Business Groups
Business groups - large, diversified, often family-controlled organizations with pyramidal ownership structure, such as the Japanese zaibatsu, the Korean chaebol and the grupos economicos in Latin America - have played a significant role in national economic growth, especially in emerging economies.Earlier variants can also be found in the trading companies, often set up in Britain, which operated in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.Business groups are often criticized as premodern forms of economic organization, and occasionally as symptomatic of corrupt 'crony capitalism', but many have shown remarkable resilience, navigating and adjusting to economic and political turbulence, international competition, and technological change.This Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of business groups around the world.It examines the adaptive and competitive capabilities of business groups, and their evolutionary dynamics. 16 individual country chapters deal with business groups from Asia to Africa, the Middle East to Latin America, while overarching chapters consider the historical and theoretical context of business groups.With contributions from leading experts, The Oxford Handbook of business groups provides a comprehensive, empirically and theoretically rich guide for scholars and policy-makers.

Are many Christian groups splinter groups?
Yes, there are many Christian groups that have splintered off from larger denominations or churches. These splinter groups often form due to disagreements over theology, doctrine, or church leadership. Some splinter groups may also form due to cultural or social differences within a larger denomination. While these splinter groups may be smaller in size, they often have their own distinct beliefs and practices that set them apart from the larger denomination.

Which blood groups can receive other blood groups?
Individuals with blood type AB can receive blood from any other blood type (A, B, AB, or O) because they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells. Individuals with blood type O can donate to any blood type because they do not have A or B antigens on their red blood cells. However, individuals with blood type O can only receive blood from other type O donors.

Braid Groups
Braids and braid groups, the focus of this text, have been at the heart of important mathematical developments over the last two decades.Their association with permutations has led to their presence in a number of mathematical fields and physics.As central objects in knot theory and 3-dimensional topology, braid groups has led to the creation of a new field called quantum topology. In this well-written presentation, motivated by numerous examples and problems, the authors introduce the basic theory of braid groups, highlighting several definitions that show their equivalence; this is followed by a treatment of the relationship between braids, knots and links.Important results then treat the linearity and orderability of the subject.Relevant additional material is included in five large appendices. Braid Groups will serve graduate students and a number of mathematicians coming from diverse disciplines.

Local Interests : Politics, Policy, and Interest Groups in US City Governments
A policy-focused approach to understanding the role of interest groups in US municipal governments. Local politics in the United States once seemed tranquil compared to the divisiveness and dysfunction of the country’s national politics.Those days have passed. As multiple wide-ranging crises have thrust America’s local governments into the spotlight, they have also exposed policy failures and systemic problems that have mounted for years.While issues such as policing and the cost of housing are debated nationally, much of the policymaking surrounding these issues occurs locally.In Local Interests, Sarah F. Anzia explores how local governments—and the interest groups that try to influence them—create the policies that drive the national conversation: policing, economic development, housing, and challenges of taxing and spending. Anzia examines local interest groups in terms of the specific policies they pursue, including how these groups get active in politics and what impact they have.By offering new perspectives on these issues, Anzia contributes to our knowledge of how interest groups function and the significant role they play in shaping broader social outcomes.

Why are alkyl groups hydrophobic and hydroxyl groups hydrophilic?
Alkyl groups are hydrophobic because they consist of nonpolar carbon and hydrogen atoms, which do not interact well with water molecules. This causes them to repel water and prefer to interact with other nonpolar molecules. On the other hand, hydroxyl groups are hydrophilic because they contain a polar covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, creating a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen. This polarity allows hydroxyl groups to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, making them soluble in water and thus hydrophilic.
-
How can one recognize hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups?
Hydroxyl groups can be recognized by the presence of an -OH functional group, which consists of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. Carboxyl groups can be recognized by the presence of a -COOH functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). Both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups are polar and can participate in hydrogen bonding, which gives them distinctive chemical properties. Additionally, hydroxyl groups are commonly found in alcohols and carbohydrates, while carboxyl groups are commonly found in organic acids and amino acids.
