Anti‐Globalization Dynamics and Africa's Structural Transformation: Identifying Avoidable Environmental Degradation Thresholds

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study pursues a dual objective. First, it investigates the unconditional impact of anti‐globalization on structural transformation in Africa. Second, it explores how environmental degradation interacts with anti‐globalization to influence structural transformation. The analysis focuses on 52 African countries over the period 2005–2023. To

Members Only—The Emergence of the Business Family as a Professionalized and Differentiated Organizational System

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The importance of business families is increasingly gaining attention. However, to truly understand business families and their dynamics, they must be viewed as distinct systems. Since this area has received limited scholarly focus, we argue that forming a new system is more than just an extension.

The Breakdown and Self‐Clearing Performance During the Energy Harvesting Process of Dielectric Elastomer Generators Using Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes Electrodes

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For dielectric elastomer generators (DEG), electrical breakdown is the main failure mode during their working cycle. The application of self‐clearing electrodes is of great significance to avoid a single breakdown leading to the failure of the entire generator.
