© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Contract manufacturing exporters (CMEs) receive a meagre share of global value chain returns, primarily because of the mundane and exploitative nature of the activities they perform in their dependency relationships with lead firms. We posit that CMEs can enhance their performance by capitalizing on their exploitation strategy. Exploitation strategy triggers exploration strategy which requires building marketing capabilities for enhanced performance. Based on data from 154 Vietnamese CMEs, we find significant indirect only mediation effects of: 1) exploration strategy between exploitation strategy and export performance; and 2) marketing capability between exploration strategy and export performance. Further, we find significant indirect only serial mediation of exploration strategy and marketing capability between exploitation strategy and export performance. The findings are also supported and contextualized based on illustrative quotes from face to face semi-structured interviews with senior managers of 10 Vietnamese CMEs. The findings suggest that CMEs’ that consciously capitalize on the exploitation strategy by seeking exploration opportunities while building their marketing capability exhibit enhanced performance.

Religious Understanding

This chapter examines the construction of the idea of pilgrimage. All three of the authors discussed in this book advocated pilgrimage as a religious ideal, but its requirement as an obligatory observance was given greater weight by authors in each successive generation, as Sino-Muslims were gradually absorbed into a global context. The perception of the hajj changed from a symbol of true belief, to a potential critical practice, and finally to an essential observance and religious duty. Wang Daiyu outlined the theological foundations of the pilgrimage and its role as a link to the time of creation and union with God. Liu Zhi underlined the physical practice of potential pilgrims when he stressed the ceremonial and experiential aspects of the pilgrimage by detailing the practices associated with it. Meanwhile, Ma Dexin emphasized the performance aspect of the journey itself, while arguing for its ability to rectify and renew religious understanding and asserting its doctrinal necessity.

Covid-19 and lockdown measures severely limited social movement and interaction. These protective measures had significant impacts on intangible cultural heritage. In a global context, living and performance based forms of heritage largely ceased, causing damaging interruptions for the continuity of traditional practice. Many traditional practitioners and community groups turned to online video sharing platforms as a means of continuing and communicating their cultural forms. This chapter explores the potential and limitations of digital media as a means of maintaining intangible heritage in extreme scenarios, and questions what lessons need to be learned by heritage practitioners when considering these forms of media as part of heritage safeguarding strategies.

And Performance

The evidences, the paradoxes, the questions that emerge from academic research into the mechanisms by which businesses generate profits are at the centre of an important theoretical debate. A large body of literature in strategic management emphasizes a particular perspective or theory (namely, the industry- resource- and institution-based views), leading to the accumulation of research findings that are difficult to compare and integrate. The current streams of thinking on the sustainability of competitive advantages have missed the aim of giving a decisive and/or exclusive relevance to paradigms through which one is accustomed to study, interpret, or suggest interventions for the enterprise as a whole or some of its parts. It is not enough to call once more for a diversity of competing views: the authors recommend that research be designed in ways that enable multiple theoretical lenses of reality to be treated. The validity of theories will remain quite limited until we significantly consider the types of conditions to which the variety of organizations in the world today has been exposed. The case of Wal-Mart illustrates how a top-performing firm competes for resources to legitimate intentions and achievements in a global context.

The Impact

The growth of any economy is mutually dependent on public and private sectors contribution to the overall success, and can be directly attributed to the strategic planning and execution. The significant growth of UAE economy even during the global recession, is an indicator of robust strategic planning initiatives proposed and meticulously being executed by the respective emirates, in particular Dubai and Abu Dhabi share a greater contribution. Previous studies have mainly focused on the relation in strategic planning of company and performance in some of the global context specific to certain countries. With the onset of growing economic initiatives in UAE, with Abu Dhabi as Nation’s capital, it is extremely important to study the importance of strategic planning and its significance in public sectors. This study attempts to conceptualize the factors determining the performance of Public sectors in Abu Dhabi from the perspective of strategic planning and practices. Strategic planning can share and develop the long-term perspectives. Public sector organizations are increasingly embracing the practices of strategic planning in anticipation that they will translate it to enhance the performances.

It has repeatedly been show that with conventional electron microscopes very fine electron probes can be produced, therefore allowing various micro-techniques such as micro recording, X-ray microanalysis and convergent beam diffraction. In this paper the function and performance of an SIEMENS ELMISKOP 101 used as a scanning transmission microscope (STEM) is described. This mode of operation has some advantages over the conventional transmission microscopy (CTEM) especially for the observation of thick specimen, in spite of somewhat longer image recording times.Fig.1 shows schematically the ray path and the additional electronics of an ELMISKOP 101 working as a STEM. With a point-cathode, and using condensor I and the objective lens as a demagnifying system, an electron probe with a half-width ob about 25 Å and a typical current of 5.10-11 amp at 100 kV can be obtained in the back focal plane of the objective lens.
