Recent research provides evidence consistent with tax-motivated income shifting taking place in Big 4 networks. Non-Big 4 networks have global footprints and audit a significant proportion of private-firm clients. Thus, we cannot make sense of audit-firm networks’ tax avoidance proclivities...

Drawing on social network and network behavior literature, this research examines how students’ network behavior for learning (or educational network behavior) with peers (i.e., horizontal network behavior) and with the instructor (i.e., vertical network behavior) outside class influences...

In this paper, an integrated approach is addressed to tackle the production network design and inventory positioning problem in a single-sourcing, multi-product, and multi-period context. The objective of our model is to simultaneously determine the optimal network structure, safety stock...

This paper aims to highlight the uncertainty, risk, and resilience, which are significant factors of biomass supply chain network design (BSCND), with a comprehensive literature review. An innovative classification scheme is developed to combine these factors with an operations research...

This article presents a fencing network perspective to describe the process and motives of the internationalization of emerging market multinationals. Emerging market multinationals use a fencing network internationalization model, through merge and acquisitions, to strategically redirect...

Security is a branch of computer technology known as information security as applied to computers and networks. The objective of online security includes protection of information and property from theft, corruption, or threats attack, while allowing the information and property to remain...

The multicommodity network flow problem is a classical issue in network optimization, where the objective is to route multiple commodities through interconnected nodes and arcs to minimize the overall flow cost. However, in practical scenarios, parameters such as arc capacities, node demands,...

Sharing, outsourcing, and partnership are shown as solutions to increase efficiency. Mobile Network Operators (MNO), used to outsource some functions and make partnerships, but the sharing perspective is still not clear. This paper aims to provide a framework in which MNOs share and utilize...

Traditional conceptions of learning focus on the formal learning that occurs in contexts such as school and higher education. These however form only part of the learning experience for any individual. Indeed for adults, most learning will occur outside formal contexts either informally or...

An innovation network can be understood as a heterogeneous interorganisational model, whose stakeholders interact through a series of actions of a collective nature based on innovation. From this perspective, and following a review of the literature, this paper aims to determine the factors...
