An investigation into the micro-dynamics of routine flexibility
… sustain themselves in the ever-changing markets. Routines, which have traditionally been viewed as a source of stability, have recently been conceptualised as a source for organisational flexibility, having the capability to significantly determine whether an organisation can survive. This study …

An intergenerational perspective on routine role succession in organizations
… focus to better understand the process of routine role succession. While separately these theories provide different views related to role succession, taken together they draw attention to components of role succession that have not received attention to date.

Circuit-oriented switch-mode integration routine for switching converters
A generalized, discrete-time modeling and simulation program, applicable to any PWM, resonant or quasi-resonant converter, has been developed. From a circuit description, this program automatically generates state-space equations corresponding to each switching interval and performs time-domain …
