CEO Compensation and the ESG Activities of Compensation Peers
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between executive compensation at focal firms and the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of compensation peer (CP) firms. Despite the growing integration of ESG metrics into executive compensation design, and the mandatory disclosure of CP groups, no prior research has examined ...

On mini-superspace limit of boundary three-point function in Liouville field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We study the mini-superspace semiclassical limit of the boundary three-point function in the Liouville field theory. We compute also matrix elements for the Morse potential quantum mechanics. An exact agreement between the former and the latter is found.

Morse Inequalities for Orbifold Cohomology
, 2009 This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex orbifold to the ...

Platform Thinking as a Catalyst for Circular Innovation in Low‐ and Medium‐Tech Industries
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing pressures to replace linear with circular models challenge organisations to innovate continuously and to absorb new knowledge. While platform thinking has been examined as an enabler of innovation in high‐tech industries, its relevance in low‐ and medium‐tech industries, like construction, remains underexplored.

A Morse lemma for degenerate critical points with low differentiability
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2000 We prove a Morse type lemma for, possibly degenerate, critical points of a C1 function twice strongly differentiable at those points, which allows us to recover, for Finsler metrics, the theorem of Gromoll and Meyer on the existence of infinitely many ...

Thermodynamics of DNA with “hump” Morse potential
Eclética Química, 2018 The thermal denaturation of DNA, i.e. the separation of the two strands is a phenomenon caused by the amplitude of the vibrations of the bases, therefore it is necessary to know how such separation is generated in order to implement alternative model of ...

MORSE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS [PDF]
, 2017 In this thesis, we present the fundamental ideas of Morse theory. Namely, how it allows us to study the topology of a smooth manifold by means of the properties of ``special' smooth functions, called Morse functions, whose critical points are all non ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While corporate social responsibility (CSR) scholarship assumes that organizational consistency signals effectiveness, there remains a knowledge gap about how MNCs navigate competing institutional logics between headquarters and subsidiaries. This study investigates how managerial sensemaking mediates the effects of institutional pressures on ...
