Different Types of Business-to-Business Integration: Extended Enterprise Integration vs. Market B2B Integration KU Leuven
In this chapter we argue that there exist two basic forms of business-to-business integration (B2Bi), namely extended enterprise integration and market B2Bi. This chapter clarifies the meaning of both concepts, shows that the difference between both is fundamental, and discusses the consequences of the difference in the realm of Web services development. The importance of coordination and the role of standards are studied for both types of ...
Post-acquisition integration: managing cultural differences and employee resistance using integration controls KU Leuven
The integration of acquisitions is often complicated by cultural differences between the acquiring and acquired firms. An important path through which cultural differences can impact acquisition performance is through employee resistance. We assemble detailed survey data to examine how acquiring firms’ use of integration controls moderates the impact of employee resistance following from cultural differences on acquisition performance. Our ...
Retroviral integration: Site matters: Mechanisms and consequences of retroviral integration site selection KU Leuven
Here, we review genomic target site selection during retroviral integration as a multistep process in which specific biases are introduced at each level. The first asymmetries are introduced when the virus takes a specific route into the nucleus. Next, by co-opting distinct host cofactors, the integration machinery is guided to particular chromatin contexts. As the viral integrase captures a local target nucleosome, specific contacts introduce ...
Development of critical thinking in freshmen: The influence of research integration. Invited symposium of Flemish Forum for Educational Research Critical thinking and research integration: A fruitful marriage? KU Leuven
The empirical grounds for the assumed positive effect of research integration on the development of critical thinking (CT) are limited. Therefore, this study aims at empirically investigating differences in CT development between first year students in various programmes, and whether these differences in CT development can be attributed to differences in research integration practices within the programmes. The study compared three programmes on ...
Quantitation of HIV DNA integration: Effects of differential integration site distributions on Alu-PCR assays KU Leuven
In many studies of HIV replication, it is useful to quantify the number of HIV proviruses in cells against a background of unintegrated forms of the HIV DNA. A popular method for doing so involves quantitative PCR using one primer complementary to the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR), and a second primer complementary to a cellular Alu repeat, so that PCR product only forms from templates where a provirus is integrated in the human genome near an ...
Integration without integration: new Killing spinor spacetimes Ghent University
Non-conformally flat space-times admitting a non-null two-index Killing spinor are investigated by means of the Geroch-Held-Penrose formalism. Claims appearing in the literature that such space-times are all explicitly known are incorrect. This was shown in [5] for the family where, in the canonical frame, the spin coefficients ρ or μ, vanish. Here the general case with non-vanishing ρ, μ, π and τ is re-considered. It is shown that the ...
Intégration des programmes verticaux dans les services de santé polyvalents; conditions, limites et potentiel de l'intégration Institute of Tropical Medicine
How can we study the integration of networks among human service organizations? Some lessons from organizational sociology = Hoe bestuderen we de integratie van netwerken tussen hulpverleningsorganisaties? Enkele lessen vanuit de organisatiesociologie University of Antwerp
Since the 1970s, the concept of social networks became very popular in the sociological literature on organizations. This is especially the case when focusing on human service organizations. We follow Provan and Milward in defining the networks among human service organizations as service delivery vehicles providing value to a population confronted with varying needs, in ways that could not have been achieved by a single organization. An ...
