Corporate accelerators are often viewed as a way to capture innovation from startups. In this study, we present a fresh understanding of the specific role of corporate accelerators in accessing a number of strategic resources held by startups other than innovation. This research study explores the ways in which corporations use corporate accelerators to acquire resources held within the strategic factor markets in which startups compete. Using six in-depth case studies of corporate accelerators and 43 interviews with accelerators, corporations, and startups, we investigate the type of strategic resources that can be accessed by firms via corporate accelerators. We also explain the dynamics through which corporations gain access to some of these strategic resources.

This article presents the analyses the role of M&A transactions in the development of operational capital groups from the perspective of high and low technology sectors. Two main research questions were asked: 1. what is the role of M&A in the development and competitiveness of operational capital groups; 2. is there specificity in the role of M&A transactions of operational capital groups in high and low technology sectors? The purpose of this article is to tentatively find, based on two case studies, the specific role of mergers and acquisitions in the development of operational capital groups in low and high technology sectors. In order to initially answer the questions asked, two case studies, one each from the high-tech and low-tech sectors, were conducted. Finally, it was recommended that a larger study be conducted on operational capital groups, which could confirm the validity of the preliminary answers to the research questions asked.

This research study set to develop KPIs for airport safety and security using a case study and ethnographic approach to research, the focus was on the role of Facilities Management (FM) in improving safety and security at the airport. The study centred on the management and staff of the case study airport and experts in the field of facilities management and aviation. The methodology for this study is a case study of three Scottish airports, owned and operated by the BAA Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen international airports). Data was collected from Civil Aviation Agency, analysed and presented in the study. The study developed a three ‘AAA’ model (Airport – Aircraft – Airport) and a 3 stage approach to the research process. Evidence in this paper supports the conclusion that planning for airport safety and security are airport specific because no two airports are exactly the same, they differ in their; sizes, mode of operations, passenger type and flight destinations. Santruka Šiuo tyrimu siekta sukurti oro uosto sauguma ir apsauga užtikrinančius pagrindinius veiklos rodiklius (KPI), pasitelkus atvejo tyrima ir etnografini požiūri i tyrima. Daugiausia demesio skirta pastatu ūkio valdymo reikšmei, didinant oro uosto sauguma ir apsauga. Tyrimo centre ‐ atvejui tirti pasirinktu oro uostu vadovai ir darbuotojai bei pastatu ūkio valdymo ir aviacijos sričiu ekspertai. Šiam tyrimui pasirinkta metodika ‐ tai triju Škotijos oro uostu, priklausančiu ir valdomu BAA Scotland (Glazgo, Edinburgo ir Aberdyno tarptautiniai oro uostai), atvejo tyrimas. Iš Civilines aviacijos agentūros surinkti duomenys buvo išanalizuoti ir yra pateikiami tyrime. Tyrimo metu sukurtas triju O modelis (oro uostas – orlaivis – oro uostas; angl. Airport‐Aircraft‐Airport, t. y. triju A modelis) ir trižingsnis požiūris i tyrimo procesa. Iš šiame darbe pateiktu irodymu kyla išvada, kad kiekvienas oro uostas sauguma ir apsauga planuos kitaip, nes nera dvieju visiškai vienodu oro uostu: skiriasi ju dydis, valdymo būdas, keleiviai ir skrydžiu paskirties punktai.

<p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), has the ability as an effort to protect the community (Social </em> <em>Defense) and an effort to achieve community welfare (Social Welfare). At the implementation stage of the program, the legal events summarize the tug of war of interests in accessing resources played by grassroot actors. This article identifies and formulates problems in the question, how is the role of grassroot actors as a potential criminogenous correlative factor for corruption in the implementation of the BPNT program? This study aims to analyze the potential for corruption in the BPNT program to arise from the sociological implications of its application in society. The research study used is a normative juridical approach in both broad and narrow terms. The results found in this study are the potential for corruption, stemming from the role of grassroot actors who have excessive power in power relations to gain access to BPNT resources (single supply of foodstuffs to E-Warong). The strengthening of the potential for corruption is boosted by the discretionary behavior of program supervisors. It takes proactivity in the role of program guard (Government) in terms of its implementation.</em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Bantuan Pangan Non-Tunai (BPNT), memiliki kemampuan sebagai upaya perlindungan masyarakat <em>(Social Defence)</em> dan upaya mencapai kesejahteraan masyarakat (<em>Social Welfare</em>). Pada tahap implementasi program, peristiwa hukumnya merangkum tarik menarik kepentingan dalam mengakses sumber daya yang dimainkan oleh <em>grassroot actor</em> (Aktor akar rumput). Makalah ini mengidentifikasi dan merumuskan problematika dalam pertanyaan bagaimanakah peran grassroot actor sebagai faktor korelatif kriminogen potensi tindak pidana korupsi pada implementasi program BPNT? Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis potensi timbulnya tindak pidana korupsi penyimpangan program BPNT bersumber dari sosiologis penerapannya di masyarakat. Kajian penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan yuridis normatif baik dalam arti luas maupun sempit. Hasil yang ditemukan pada kajian ini ialah potensi timbulnya tindak pidana korupsi, bersumber dari peran aktor akar rumput (<em>grassroot actor</em>) yang memiliki <em>excessive</em> power dalam relasi kuasa mendapatkan akses sumber daya BPNT (pasokan tunggal bahan pangan ke E-Warong).  Penguatan potensi tindak pidana korupsi dibooster oleh perilaku diskresi supervisor program.

A wide range of longlasting patterns of symptoms may result from individual sensitivity to substances in the environment such as foods, chemicals, dusts and pollens. Behaviourally disturbed and learning disordered children are common. Their numbers may be increasing and certainly they make great demands on parental understanding and courage as well as on professional judgement and time. A number of case studies are presented which suggest that the difficulties encountered by a significant number of these children have much to do with idiosyncratic responses to foods and additives. This hypothesis requires careful research study at an early date for if validated it will have far reaching implications for the assessment and management of disturbed, delinquent and learning disordered children. Perhaps not enough attention has been paid to the role of biological and environmental factors in the development of children's problems. Certainly recent research has begun to provide support for the concept of environmental (ecologic) illness.
