There is a common perception that facing a primary election makes it more likely that a member of congress votes with her party more often. The idea is that the primary voters want their representatives to be more radical, and therefore push incumbents to the extremes, resulting in more polarization in the legislature. While studies on elections to the House have shown mixed results when examining this question, few studies examine if these patterns exist in elections to the Senate. This study examines Senate primary elections to see how facing a primary influences how a senator votes in the legislature. However, because of limited data, this study examines competitive primaries, based on how much of the vote the senator receives in her election, rather than ideological primaries, based on the senator being challenged from the extremes of the party. This study specifically asks how facing a competitive primary influences a senator's partisan voting patterns in subsequent congresses after their election. In order to study this, I examine the percentage of the vote that a senator received in her primary election compared to her partisan voting patterns in the Senate after the election. I did not find that senators who face a competitive primary respond by voting in a more partisan fashion in the congressional sessions following the election. However, serving in the majority party and being elected in certain election years did have a significant impact on a senator's partisan voting behavior. When testing if the impact of facing a competitive primary was conditioned by serving in the majority party, I also did not find that serving in the majority party conditions the impact of facing a competitive primary on a senator's partisan voting patterns. While these findings did not support the notion that facing a competitive primary influences a senator's partisan voting behavior, future research could alter this study to further examine this question. Such additional research is necessary in order to more fully understand Senate elections.

Full textThis mixed methods sequential explanatory designed study applied the economic theory of marketplace competition as a way to frame superintendents' perceptions of the characteristics of students and parents seeking charter schools. Although studies on charter schools are abundant, there is limited literature on this particular aspect of market competition between traditional districts and charter schools. Through surveys and interviews with superintendents across Massachusetts, this study found that most of the superintendents reported a perception that charter schools "cream-skim" higher achieving students and under-serve or "crop" high needs or more costly students - particularly special education and English language learner students. Additionally, superintendents generally perceive that parents were most likely to choose a charter school because of a perception that it was a more elite option and that parents making those choices were more likely to have been engaged in a child's educational life. Many superintendents reported a strong pressure to find ways to retain high-achieving students while expressing resentment that charter schools under-serve high needs students. In three small urban districts, however, superintendents described charter schools that enroll high-needs students proportional to or exceeding the district's student population, filled a gap or met an unmet need, or provided a specialization from which the district could learn

Full textA Competitive Intelligence está a tornar-se numa prática mundial e numa importante ferramenta estratégica de suporte à decisão, conferindo às organizações maior ênfase analítica e orientação para a acção. Mais do que recolher ou arquivar o máximo de informação, muitas vezes só passível de análise posterior, as organizações necessitam saber o que fazer com ela, devendo reconhecer valor apenas à informação tratada e concentrar-se na colocação de boas perguntas e na definição das suas necessidades, deixando para segundo plano a existência ou não da informação. Este estudo investiga a aplicabilidade dos conceitos de Competitive Intelligence, ao nível das organizações portuguesas, avaliando a sua influência no processo de tomada de decisão, gestão estratégica e táctica, tentando responder à questão: “Quais os antecedentes que promovem uma resposta célere a acções competitivas da concorrência?”, Utiliza-se uma metodologia de pesquisa quantitativa, assente em técnicas multivariadas, resultante dum questionário on-line e numa amostra não probabilística, abarcando funções de topo das 1.000 maiores empresas nacionais por volume de facturação. Concluiu-se a existência de uma relação positiva entre a variável “Estrutura, consciência e processos” com a capacidade de resposta a acções competitivas da concorrência. Não se revelando, essa mesma relação positiva, com as restantes duas variáveis do modelo, nomeadamente: “Pressão de Mercado” e “Cultura e Atitude”. Concluiu-se também que a Competitive Intelligence não é estranha às organizações portuguesas, apresenta-se estruturada e em sintonia com a maioria das práticas internacionais, apesar das empresas nacionais referirem a sua capacidade de resposta como reactiva e não utilizam nenhum método para avaliar a eficácia da sua intelligence.
Competitive Intelligence is becoming a world organizational practice and an important strategic and supporting tool for the decision making process. It also confers a strong analytical emphasis with a consequent action oriented focus. Rather than collecting or storing information, often only used to further analysis, organizations need to know what to do with it. They must recognize value, only in treated information and concentrate on putting good questions and in defining their needs, leaving the existence or inexistence of information for second plan. This study investigates the applicability of Competitive Intelligence in Portuguese organizations, assessing its influence in decision-making process, strategic and tactical management, trying to answer the question: "which antecedents promote a rapid response to competitive actions? A quantitative research methodology was used, supported by multivariate techniques, based on an online survey with a nonprobability sampling embodying top management functions of the 1.000 major Portuguese companies by turnover. It was determined the existence of a positive relationship between the variable “Structure, awareness and process” and the “Capacity to respond” to competitive actions. The study does not show this positive relationship with the other two variables of the model: "Market pressure" and "Culture and Attitude." It was also determined that Competitive Intelligence is not unfamiliar to the Portuguese organizations, is structured and in line with most international practices, despite they consider their ability to respond as reactive and don’t use any evaluated method to assess the effectiveness of their intelligence.

Innovations are part of everyday reality in the business life of many companies. While for startups, success in business largely depends on success of innovations as they are trying to enter the market, for large monopolistic companies the influx of innovations is a crucial part of strategic decision-making. In a fast clockspeed high technology market, innovations are being introduced every day and have to be evaluated to identify potential threat to existing technology and market share of an incumbent. It is extremely difficult to understand if this new technology is something relevant to the market and will be adopted fast by customers, or it is merely one of many attempts, that will prove unsuccessful. Overarching questions for this work is "Why does the same technology become dominant in some cases while failing in others?" This work focuses on considering several real life examples with different outcomes through the lens of the Incumbent's Dilemma framework. The goal is to identify patterns of dynamics for several typical innovation scenarios and provide explanations that might be useful for product managers as well as top management of any company who want to understand how to use innovations to improve business performance and gain market share.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyse how procurement is used as a strategy to achieve better competitive strength, within the retail food industry.
Theoretical: The theoretical chapter illustrates different procurement organisations, multiple and single sourcing, brand equity, consumer behaviour and involvement, Efficient Consumer Response including supply chain and category management and finally Demand Chain Management.
Method: For the case studies, three food retail companies have been interviewed: Reitan Servicehandel AB, Vi-butikerna and ICA AB. To illustrate how consumer behaviour influences retail food market, several secondary consumer research studies have been analysed.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the procurement organisation can achieve a better competitive strength by a centralised organisation, which make it possible to improve conditions of terms when ordering higher purchase volumes. The sourcing strategies can improve a company’s power within the supply chain. All companies within the study had a very good knowledge about consumer behaviour. Information technology is a very important tool to achieve enhanced efficiency within the organisation. It also indicates that the procurement organisation by its knowledge in sales and marketing can improve a company’s competitive strength.

Full textThe experiments described in this thesis document the development of two in vivo models, to investigate the effect of competition for peptide-MHC and factors independent of MHC on T cell proliferation, differentiation, generation of memory cells and affinity maturation. The first model made use of 3 strains of T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic (tg) mice of varying specificity for antigen-MHC class II. To determine the effect of antigen specific and non-specific competition on the early stages of the T cell response, the efficiency with which naïve antigen-specific CD4+ T cells were recruited into an ongoing immune response was investigated. Recruitment into cell division and cytokine production was shown to decrease with an increasing time delay between two cell cohorts of the same specificity, leading to a significant drop in recruitment with a delay of only 24 hours. Injection of additional antigen could partially compensate for this decrease, suggesting that lack of available antigen limited recruitment of specific cells trafficking to the node after the initiation of the response. A role for antigen non-specific factors such as access to APCs, costimulatory signals or cytokines was ruled out by showing that the response to a second, independent antigen was unaffected by an ongoing response, even when the same APCs were presenting both antigens. The second system modelled a situation in which a clone of uniformly high affinity T cells competed against a polyclonal population containing mixture of affinities. This situation would arise during a normal response to a single epitope, and would mimic the process of competition that drives affinity maturation of the CD4+ T cell response. By substituting a high affinity response to a different antigen, a more complex reaction to multiple antigens, of different affinities was modelled. To avoid any possible effect of the two antigens competing for access to processing machinery, or binding to the same MHC class II allele, the two antigens were provided as synthetic peptides that bind to different MHC molecules. The data indicated that CD4+ T cell competition for peptide-MHC is far more potent than competition between CD4+ T cell responses of different specificity. Antigen-specific competition reduced the level of T cell stimulation detected as early as day 3 of the response. In the face of high affinity antigen-specific competition, the representation of mixed affinity T cells within the effector and effector memory cells (TEM) population declined progressively throughout the primary and secondary responses, suggesting that continued access to peptide-MHC is required to maintain maximum numbers of effector and TEM cells. In contrast, the contribution of central memory (TCM) was stable from day 7 onwards. Competition by CD4+ cells of an unrelated antigenic specificity led to a minor reduction in peak cell number and cytokine production in the primary response, without altering the number or potency of memory cells. Together these two models demonstrated a mechanism whereby the immune system exerts tight control over the size and kinetics of each individual antigen specific response without affecting the ability to respond to secondary infections or late-phase lytic antigens. Overall the results demonstrate a continued requirement for TCR stimulation for the generation of effector cells and the maintenance of a population of cytokine producing memory cells. However the generation of a stable population of central memory cells was unaffected by conditions of reduced T cell stimulation, ensuring that long-term memory can be maintained in the absence of antigen.
