Information Technology and the Ambidexterity Hypotheses: An Analysis in Product Development

This paper explores ambidexterity, defined as the capacity to simultaneously achieve exploration and exploitation activities at a product development level. Building on the knowledge-based view literature, it is argued that information technology -defined by a combination of convergent and divergent dimensions- may facilitate ambidexterity in the context of product development. Furthermore, ambidexterity mediates the relationship between information technology and performance. Data collected from 80 product development projects supports our hypotheses. Most importantly, the study presents evidence that ambidexterity mediates the relationship between the information technology that encourages exploration and exploitation and subsequent performance in product development.

Concepto de tributo: una perspectiva comparada Brasil-Espanã

Se analizan en este trabajo el concepto de tributo, así como los diversos elementos caracterizadores que lo conforman, tanto desde la perspectiva del derecho brasileño como desde la óptica del derecho español, examinándose también los principios constitucionales que deben guiar su implantación, en especial el de capacidad contributiva, no atendido en numerosas ocasiones por el legislador, y tampoco exigido con todo el rigor que el mismo merece por los tribunales. Se efectúa asimismo um detenido análisis del fenómeno de la extrafiscalidad, cada vez de más amplia utilización en todos los ordenamientos Jurídico-tributarios. Este estudo comparado Procura presentar las sintonias y las diversidades de enfoque de un instituto fundamental para el estado de derecho de forma a contribuir para el enriquecimiento del estudo científico a través del ojar del otro sobre ambiente cultural diverso.

APPLICATION OF THE FLEXIBLE SPECIALIZATION MODEL IN A LOCAL MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

 This article presents the empirical results of application of the flexible specialization model, originally proposed by Piore and Sobel (1984) and more recently developed from the theoretical perspective of operations strategy by Nassimbeni (JOM, 2003, 21(2):151-171), in a traditional local footwear manufacturing system that is undergoing profound changes due to competitive pressures affecting the sector. The results, drawn from a multiple case study, provide evidences of a non-uniform evolutionary trajectory among the studied firms, notably regarding the strategic choice of internalizing production tasks. Additionally, the data analysis suggests that leading firms are developing an even higher flexibility and on-time delivery capabilities as a response to the increase of competitive pressures.
