How does openness influence the impact of a scholar’s research? An analysis of business scholars’ citations over their careers     

Mustapha Belkhouja  Hyungseok Yoon 《Research Policy》2018,47(10):2037-2047

How do the effects of cognitive openness and structural openness on the research impact of business scholars vary over their careers? By analysing a longitudinal sample of 35,296 scholars who published in business and management journals, we show that the cognitive openness and the structural openness of business scholars have non-linear relationships with their research impact. In particular, we found that, whereas moderate levels of cognitive openness and structural openness are desirable for increasing young scholars’ citations, a high level of cognitive openness and a low level of structural openness contribute to senior scholars’ citations. This study contributes to our understanding of different search behaviour across business scholars’ career paths and its implications for scholars’ research impact.  相似文献

Abstract

Will African farmers watch and learn from videos featuring farmers in Bangladesh? Learning videos on rice seed management were made with rural women in Bangladesh. By using a new approach, called zooming-in, zooming-out, the videos were of regional relevance and locally appropriate. When the Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) introduced them to Africa in 2005, many scientists and civil servants thought that the videos would be culturally inappropriate and hence irrelevant to African smallholder farmers. However, African farmers who watched the videos did not experience cultural barriers. In fact, they enjoyed seeing another part of the world where farmers faced similar problems as theirs, and were able to solve these problems by themselves. To promote wider uptake of the videos a key challenge was to overcome the institutional barriers. Public sector agencies especially had to be convinced that African smallholders appreciated Asian videos. By watching the videos with farmers and listening to their feedback, the skeptical scientists and service providers changed their minds. By 2009, the Bangladeshi rice seed videos had been translated into 20 African languages and so became national products. Videos made according to the zooming-in zooming-out approach can bring farmer-to-farmer extension to a higher level of social aggregation.  相似文献   

Quelques facteurs sociaux agissant sur la formation permanente et l'education informelle en Algerie

Résumé On tente d'analyser dans cet article les conditions dans lesquelles un certain pluralisme dans le domaine de l'éducation a commencé très timidement a s'instaurer en Algérie, en liaison avec les changements politiques et socio-économiques qui se sont développés après 1988. Après une longue période de centralisme codifié par la Charte Nationale de 1976, pendant laquelle le système d'enseignement public était devenu l'instance éducative quasiment exclusive, sollicitée essentiellement pour les diplômes et les certifications qu'elle délivrait, l'action de divers facteurs sociaux (importance de la déperdition scolaire, accroissement du taux de chômage des jeunes, et de celui des diplômés, développement du mouvement associatif, rigidités de l'école publique, conséquences diverses du conflit linguistique sur le fonctionnement du système éducatif, etc.), a favorisé l'apparition d'actions éducatives diverses, les unes représentant des palliatifs aux insuffisances de l'école publique, les autres plus fragiles correspondant à l'éclosion de besoins d' éducation permanente ou de formation complémentaire aux seins de groupes sociaux dont les motivations sont parfois d'ordre politique ou religieux. Ces tendances sont liées au développement du mouvement associatif en Algérie.

This article attempts an analysis of the conditions under which a certain degree of educational pluralism has begun, tentatively, to be seen in Algeria in association with the political and socio-economic changes that have taken place since 1988. After a long period of centralism codified in the National Charter of 1976, during which the public education system had become all but the only provider of education, in demand largely on account of the diplomas and certificates which it awarded, various social factors (including growth in unemployment among young people and those with qualifications, development of voluntary associations, inflexibility of public schools, various effects of the language conflict on the educational system, etc.) have since led to the appearance of varying educational activities. Some of these make up for the inadequacy of the public schools; others, less well established, respond to the emergence of the need for lifelong education or provide complementary training for social groups which may have a political or religious motivation. These tendencies are limited to the development of voluntary associations in Algeria.

Zusammenfassung Dieser Artikel versucht eine Analyse der Bedingungen, die für den zögerlichen Beginn eines gewissen Grads an erzieherischem Pluralismus in Algerien verantwortlich sind. Dies geschieht in Zusammenhang mit den seit 1988 stattfindenden politischen und sozialwirtschaftlichen Veränderungen. Nach einer langen Phase des in der Nationalen Charta von 1976 festgelegten Zentralismus, in der das öffentliche Bildungssystem praktisch der alleinige Bildungsträger war — hauptsächlich gefragt wegen verliehener Diplome und Zertifikate — führten vielfältige soziale Faktoren zu verschiedenen Bildungsaktivitäten. Diese Faktoren beinhalten erhebliche Schulversagerquoten, Anstieg der Arbeitslosigkeit unter jungen Menschen und qualifizierten Arbeitskräften, Entwicklung von Freiwilligenorganisationen, Unflexibilität öffentlicher Schulen sowie unterschiedliche Auswirkungen des Sprachkonflikts auf das Bildungssystem, usw. Einige der Bildungsaktivitäten gleichen die Unzulänglichkeiten öffentlicher Schulen aus, andere weniger gut etablierte befassen sich mit der Anerkennung des Bedarfs an lebenslanger Bildung oder bieten zusätzliche Fortbildungen für soziale Gruppen mit eventueller politischer oder religiöser Motivation an.
