Beating the Odds! Build theory from emerging markets phenomenon and the emergence of case study research—A “Test-Tube” typology

Cogent Business & Management, 2015
The extant social sciences and management theoretical concepts and empirical literature have mostly determined based on western (developed) economies institutional context. In the recent past, a number of researchers have argued that the western theories

Testing Dimensional Reduction in SU(2) Gauge Theory [PDF]

, 2001
At high temperature, every $(d+1)$-dimensional theory can be reformulated as an effective theory in $d$ dimensions. We test the numerical accuracy of this Dimensional Reduction for (3+1)-dimensional SU(2) by comparing perturbatively determined effective ...

Group Testing with Probabilistic Tests: Theory, Design and Application [PDF]

, 2010
Identification of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name of group testing. It involves grouping subsets of items into different pools and detecting defective members based on the set of ...

Testing String Theory with CMB

, 2007
Future detection/non-detection of tensor modes from inflation in CMB observations presents a unique way to test certain features of string theory. Current limit on the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbations, r=T/S, is r < 0.3, future detection may take ...

Modelling Probabilistic Wireless Networks [PDF]

, 2012
We propose a process calculus to model high level wireless systems, where the topology of a network is described by a digraph. The calculus enjoys features which are proper of wireless networks, namely broadcast communication and probabilistic behaviour.

Testing Predictions of Optimal Migration Theory in Migratory Bats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Optimal migration theory is a framework used to evaluate trade-offs associated with migratory strategies. Two strategies frequently considered by migration theory are time minimizing, whereby migration is completed as quickly as possible, and energy ...

Testing Magnetic Star Formation Theory

, 2008
We report here observations of the Zeeman effect in the 18-cm lines of OH in the envelope regions surrounding four molecular cloud cores toward which detections of B(LOS) have been achieved in the same lines, and evaluate the ratio of mass to magnetic ...

Non-Stochastic Hypothesis Testing with Application to Privacy Against Hypothesis-Testing Adversary [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper, we consider privacy against hypothesis testing adversaries within a non-stochastic framework. We develop a theory of non-stochastic hypothesis testing by borrowing the notion of uncertain variables from non-stochastic information theory ...

Meta-analysis: a tool for constructing theories or evaluating interventions or simply proving everyday assumptions?

Frontiers in Psychology
After a brief consideration of the development of meta-analyses as a joint discussion of results from a research area across development stages 0, 1, 2, it is concluded that the present form 2.0 is unsuitable to serve as a basis for theory building ...

Autoethnography and Theory Testing

Construction Economics and Building, 2018
One of the problems in construction management research is how to harvest the living experience of people working in the profession. Surveys and interviews are the common methods, but they have obvious problems, not only with defining terminology and ...
