PurposeThis study aims to identify the main reasons for forming a cooperation agreement in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and understand the role of reputation in this business process.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve these objectives, a qualitative research approach was adopted, specifically the case study method. The context of analysis studied here was formed of five SMEs (cases) located in an inland region of Portugal. Data-collecting instruments were individual interviews and documentary analysis, and the data treatment technique was content analysis.FindingsFrom the results obtained, it is concluded that SMEs have different reasons for entering a cooperation agreement and that the criterion of reputation, in the partner selection process, was quite frequently mentioned. In addition, the study found trust to be another important criterion when choosing a partner. This means that besides the resources a partner may possess, the most important aspect is that there should be mutual trust.Practical implicationsThis study seeks to help SME managers to characterise and understand the phenomenon of cooperation and show the main criteria to consider when choosing their partner(s).Originality/valueThis study is innovative because it will help to characterise and understand business cooperation in SMEs and contribute to choosing a suitable partner, so that SMEs can achieve good performance, major market expansion and improve relations with their partners, in an increasingly competitive environment.

This is the first biography of the important but long-forgotten American inventor Charles Francis Jenkins (1867–1934). The book documents the life of Jenkins from his childhood in Indiana and early life in the West to his work as a prolific inventor whose productivity was cut short by an early death. Jenkins was an inventor who made a difference. As one of America's greatest independent inventors, Jenkins' passion was to meet the needs of his day and the future. In 1895 he produced the first film projector able to show a motion picture on a large screen, coincidentally igniting the first film boycott among his Quaker viewers when the film he screened showed a woman's ankle. Jenkins produced the first American television pictures in 1923, and developed the only fully operating broadcast television station in Washington, D.C. transmitting to ham operators from coast to coast as well as programming for his local audience. This biography raises the profile of C. Francis Jenkins from his former place in the footnotes to his rightful position as a true pioneer of today's film and television. Along the way, it provides a window into the earliest days of both motion pictures and television as well as the now-vanished world of the independent inventor.

Over the past two decades, opportunities for ‘creative documentary’ on television may have diminished, but other distribution options for innovative and engaged films have opened up. A resurgence of cinematic documentary is attracting substantial numbers of viewers who, bored or disillusioned by television’s shift to reality programming, are prepared to pay for theatre tickets, while online subscription services such as Netflix and Amazon now stream and fund high-quality documentary. Increasing numbers of filmmakers are self-distributing their works online. A significant percentage of these films, freed from the constraints of broadcast television, take up political challenges because, as Michael Chanan says, documentary has ‘politics in its genes’ (2008, p. 16). In fact, as mainstream news and current affairs becomes increasingly tabloid, it could be argued that documentary is assuming the role of investigative journalism or, to use Laura Poitras’ description, documentary functions as ‘Journalism Plus’. This article, at times drawing on my own film practice, attempts to explore these shifts and developments, locating documentary at a time of institutional transformation.Image: He Toki Huna: SAS Quick Reaction Force in Kabul post a suicide bombing in February 2010.

This research aims to describe the function and role of the television in preserving Palembang language. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected from direct interviews to seven informants reside in Palembang with various backgrounds, professions and education levels to discover the impact of Palembang-speaking local television station. The research shows that national television stations have not performed their role in education and language preservation as they should be. The level of local language preservation in national television stations is still low. This condition is covered by the presence of local stations, such as PAL TV. Televisions can be a strategic tool in language preservation with proper management by adding diverse programs that are in accordance with the public interests.  ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan fungsi dan peran televisi dalam pelestarian bahasa Palembang.

ABSTRACT: We examine the role of newswires in identifying and conveying market-moving information in periodic SEC reports to capital market participants. Using data on Dow Jones Newswires, we find that newswires are more likely to send alerts on firms that do not release preliminary earnings, have credit ratings, are included in major market indices, have litigation exposure, or report losses. Reflective of the market’s focus on certain key events, firms with a nonstandard audit opinion, in the process of delisting, reporting unusual accounting items, or raising equity capital also receive alerts. Moreover, not only do we find significant price and volume reactions to the alerts at the daily level, but also we document immediate intra-day market activity triggered by the alerts, whereas we detect no similar reaction for SEC filings that trigger the alerts. Additional analysis suggests that the intra-day reaction is not driven by noise trading.

<p>This thesis explores the contemporary situation of 'public television' in New Zealand. As this country’s longest-standing, most significant facilitator of the diverse range of locally-produced programmes that pursue the 'cultural identity' objectives that are regarded as centrally important to 'public television', the focus of this thesis will be on the role and contributions of public broadcast funding agency, New Zealand on Air. This focus has three main functions in this thesis, allowing it to: first, investigate the necessity of facilitating and producing 'public television'; second, to explore the successful ways in which this element of television has been delivered to viewers; and third, to examine the limitations posed by a highly commercial broadcast television environment on the pursuit of 'public television' objectives.  This undertaking is important because 'public television' faces a number of significant challenges in New Zealand, the most significant of which is inadequate public investment. Other challenges can be sourced to the intense competition and inadequate regulation of New Zealand television, which is a consequence of the deregulation and restructuring that it was subjected to in 1988-89. In the decades since, the broader environmental conditions encouraged by these changes have never been redressed. Presently, despite 'public television' fulfilling vital cultural functions, its situation has reached a crisis point, emphatically in regard to provisions for 'mainstream' broadcast audiences. For this reason, there needs to be an in-depth exploration of the issues and potentials in 'public television', to which this thesis aims to contribute.  The exploration that this thesis offers is structured in three chapters. The first examines the establishment and role of New Zealand on Air. The second addresses the ways in which 'public television' programmes are successfully facilitated through the considerations and funding allocations of NZoA. The third considers the limitations of New Zealand’s television environment on the pursuit of 'public television' and argues the necessity for enhanced resources to be provided in order to improve the current situation.</p>

As a result of recent economic changes in the United States and cultural changes among the population, the funeral industry has experienced a “legitimation crisis.” The objective of this research is to examine new advertising and marketing strategies engaged in by professionals in the funeral industry to respond to market and cultural changes that have affected both the funeral industry at large and the role of the funeral director as a participant in this industry. A meta-analysis of articles from issues of the industry trade journal American Funeral Director for the years 2008 through 2015 was conducted. Two major themes emerged from the data. First, that funeral home owners should respond to market changes by using their assets for diverse reasons and second that forms of community engagement can create feelings of goodwill that will increase usage and loyalty from families. Within each of these major themes, a variety of subthemes emerged from the data.

This article examines the history of Australian broadcast television through the lens of sports programming. Ever since the introduction of the medium in Australia just before the 1956 Olympic Games, sports programming – both event coverage and sports-related content – has played a major role in defining television's forms, concerns and technologies, as well as in developing audiences for services and channels. Looking at a series of pivotal moments in Australian television history – the 1956 Olympics, the coming of colour, aggregation in the late 1980s, the launch of subscription television in 1995 and commercial free-to-air multi-channelling – the article examines sports programming as a site of both competition and collaboration between networks and services. It also discusses the role of sports in shaping the schedules and profiles of the two Australian public service broadcasters, before concluding with a look at the possible future of sport and Australian broadcast television.
