Experimental Evaluation of Unberthing Manoeuvre Control Using an Online Estimation Model Under Actual Sea Conditions [PDF]
TransNavShip manoeuvrability varies with speed and is affected by environmental disturbances, making unberthing control challenging. To address this, a control method using an online estimation model is proposed, in which the parameters of a linear motion model ...

When Great Powers Struggle: How Geopolitical Alignments of Small States Are Influenced by Their MNEs
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Comparing two distinct deglobalization periods, this study shows how Finnish multinational enterprises (MNEs) used corporate diplomatic activities (CDA) to influence Finland's alignment with a struggling great power. Drawing from hegemonic stability theory and new institutional economics, we argue that the power's collapsing global networks ...

Some Problems of Berthing of Ships with Non-conventional Propulsions [PDF]
TransNav, 2007 The berthing manoeuvre of ship is the last stage of navigation process. The safety of berthing depends on velocity due impact the quay. In case of ships with non-conventional propulsion (mainly two stern screws and few thrust propellers) the berthing ...

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract While research on ecosystems and their orchestration has grown rapidly, we still know little about how individual strategic leaders may mobilize ecosystemic action in times of disruption. This article addresses this gap by drawing on an in‐depth case study of the Antwerp Square Mile, the world’s oldest and most renowned diamond trading ...
