Quantitative Metrics for Edge Bundling of Network Visualizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Edge bundling is widely used for reducing visual clutter in large 2D network and trajectory visualizations. Various edge bundling methods have been proposed, each producing qualitatively distinct outputs for the same data; however, few quantitative metrics exist for systematic evaluation. In this paper, we propose a set of quantitative metrics

Evaluating Encodings for Bivariate Edges in Adjacency Matrices

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present the first empirical evaluation of techniques for encoding distributions of quantitative edge values within adjacency matrices. In many real‐world networks, edges represent not a single value but a set of measurements. While adjacency matrices preserve structural clarity, their compact cells limit the simultaneous display of multiple

Digital platform strategies from an incumbent perspective: An exploration of contextual factors and connectors

European Management Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multi‐sided platform (MSP) models have become more relevant for incumbent companies, requiring them to develop MSP engagement strategies. This study sheds light on the complex process incumbents undergo in developing platform strategies. Adopting an inductive research design, we conducted interviews with 37 decision‐makers across 35 incumbent ...

Nonmarket strategies, domestic institutional development, and internationalization: Evidence from MENA and sub‐Saharan African regions

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of the adoption of nonmarket strategies in domestic markets that drive the internationalization of emerging multinationals (EMNCs) from the MENA and sub‐Saharan African regions. In this study, we consider corporate political activity (CPA) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) of EMNCs and examine their role ...

Climate Regulation and ESG Disclosure in Maritime Transport

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether climate policy signals influence ESG disclosure quality in maritime transport, a capital‐intensive industry responsible for roughly 3% of global CO₂ emissions. Using panel data from 126 listed shipping firms between 2009 and 2023, we construct an author‐based disclosure quality index and treat the IMO's 2018 ...

Global Interns or Learners of Japanese?: American Interns’ Negotiation of Positioning Across Orders of Indexicality in Japanese Workplaces

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid Japan's internationalization efforts, foreign employees are positioned as global English‐speaking talent while simultaneously facing expectations to conform to Japanese linguacultural norms. This study examines how such tensions are negotiated through the narratives of two interns—one African American and one Vietnamese American—in ...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions: A review and research agenda on rebound effects and win–win strategies

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Rebound effects describe how efficiency improvements in energy or resource use can increase demand, thereby partially or fully offsetting expected environmental savings. This dynamic complicates win–win strategies that aim to improve environmental and financial performance.

Multidimensional Militarisation, Evidence From Mexico's War on Drugs

International Social Science Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article documents different dimensions of militarisation observed in Mexico since the start of the war on drugs. It argues that militarisation is a multidirectional phenomenon that is characterised by rationales that justify the use of illegal means to address complex issues, promising expediency and efficiency but rarely delivering on it.

An enhanced adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm for the multiple allocation p‐hub location problem with a mesh backbone network in video‐on‐demand services

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study tackles the multiple allocation p$p$‐hub location problem (MApHLP) in the context of video‐on‐demand services, where digital content is partitioned into segments and stored exclusively at selected hub locations. Users, distributed across a wide geographical area, can connect to multiple hubs based on demand patterns, with all hubs ...

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
