The early modern era produced the Scientific Revolution, which originated our present understanding of the natural world. Concurrently, philosophers established the conceptual foundations of modernity. This rich and comprehensive volume surveys and illuminates the numerous and complicated interconnections between philosophical and scientific thought as both were radically transformed from the late sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century. The chapters explore reciprocal influences between philosophy and physics, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and other disciplines, and show how thinkers responded to an immense range of intellectual, material, and institutional influences. The volume offers a unique perspicuity, viewing the entire landscape of early modern philosophy and science, and also marks an epoch in contemporary scholarship, surveying recent contributions and suggesting future investigations for the next generation of scholars and students.

The current business environment demands the enablement of organization-wide use of analytics to support a fact-based decision making. Such movement within the organization require employees to take advantage of the self-service business analytics tools to independently fulfil their needs. However, assuming independence in data analytics requires employees to make sense of several elements which collectively contribute to the generation of required insights. Building on sense-making, self-service business analytics, and institutions literature, this paper explores the relationship between sense-making and self-service business analytics and how institutions influence and shape such relationship. By adopting a qualitative perspective and using 22 interviews, we have empirically investigated a model developed through our literature review and provided more understanding of the sense-making concept in a self-service business analytics context.

Abstract Countries make differing policy choices. They can serve as a scientific laboratory for drawing lessons on the policy paths to follow or to avoid and the consequences of those institutional choices on individuals at older ages. In this special issue we bring together six articles that evaluate the influence of institutions on retirement decisions, health and well-being of older adults using common data that have emerged with the international network of health and retirement studies to study key life outcomes such as health, work, and lifecycle transitions at older ages.

Understanding the motivations of consumers to engage in relationships with marketers is important for both practitioners and marketing scholars. To develop an effective theory of relationship marketing, it is necessary to under¬stand what motivates consumers to reduce their available market choices and engage in relational market behaviour by patronizing the same marketer in subsequent choice situations. This article draws on established consumer behaviour literature to suggest that consumers engage in relational marker behaviour due to personal influences, social influences, and institutional influences. Consumers reduce their available choice and engage in relational market behaviour because they want to simplify their buying and consuming tasks, simple information processing, reduce perceived risky, and maintain competitive consistency and a state of psychological comfort. The willingness and ability of both consumers and marketers to engage in relational marketing will lead to greater marketing productivity; unless either consumers or mar¬keters abuse the mutual interdependence and cooperation. This article examines theoretical contributions to a comprehensive relationship marketing concept. In the modern marketing sciences, that interaction in networks of relationships constitutes both the essence of life itself and the essence of society. Marketing just applying the perspective of its own discipline and not properly considering the context within which marketing operates. The article offers an overview of the contributions to relationship marketing from traditional consumer goods marketing, services marketing, business marketing and base theory for research

In this article the authors analyse social partner engagement in European sectoral social dialogue, testing two prominent theories to disentangle sector and country dynamics: institutional and resources and capabilities theories. While institutional theory accounted for certain social partner preferences, resources and capability theory proved stronger in predicting participation and provided insight into regulatory preferences. The authors conclude that resources and capability theory better explains their case, associating it with weaknesses of transnational governance. Specifically, limited incentives for participation mean that social partners with fewer resources forego participation, entailing pre-eminence of social partners with greater resources and hindering outcomes reflecting national institutional influences.

Individual performance rewards and individual performance appraisals are key elements of calculative human resource management (HRM). As practices, they figure strongly in the most highly cited studies within strategic HRM research. However, these studies are generally located within a single, distinct context, the United States, a context in which there is an underlying assumption of firm latitude. Varieties of capitalism literature indicates that this assumption is inappropriate to the context of the coordinated market economies of Europe. This chapter reviews cross-national studies of the adoption of calculative HRM and observes a substantial influence of national context on its adoption by firms. In terms of how to conceive national context, recent research suggests that formal institutional influences are of more salience than informal influences. The relative importance of formal institutional influences has consequences for international management education that predominantly views context through a cultural lens. The chapter further observes that recent research of the uptake of calculative HRM perceives context as a constraint rather than as a determinant. Regardless of context, managers have at least some latitude to implement calculative HRM practices. However, the chapter suggests that their efforts need to be adapted to, and sensitive to, contextual constraints.
