Abstract This article investigates the interactional relevance of weak cesuras in multimodal transitions in enactments. Previous research has pointed out that enactments are multimodally accomplished phenomena in that they do not only consist of a quotation but usually involve changes in prosody and bodily conduct, too. Furthermore, it has been noted that an upcoming quotation may be projected in the preceding talk by phonetic cues. There is, however, little research on the precise multimodal realization of such transitions and their possible interactional relevance. Taking this as a starting point, we analyze a collection of co-enactments. Firstly, we show that quotations are projected not only by phonetic but also bodily cues, which often build up gradually in the preceding talk. These smooth transitions into enactment are analyzed as “cesural areas.” Secondly, we argue that such cesural areas and the cumulation of multimodal projections open up an opportunity space in the sense of Lerner (1991), whereby a joint enactment involving co-participants, i.e., a co-enactment, is possible. Thirdly, we show that participants jointly develop the meaning of the enactment in this space, mutually taking up and elaborating on their prior contributions. The data is taken from a corpus of collaborative storytellings in German.

Full textAbstract:
Self-licensing, employing reasons to justify indulgence, may help resolve the conflict between immediate temptations and long-term goals in favor of the former. It was hypothesized that this conflict-resolving potential of self-licensing may benefit self-regulation over time. With a momentary assessment design, we examined how self-licensing affects self-regulatory ability and the capacity to deal with subsequent self-regulatory conflicts. One hundred thirty-six female participants filled out surveys eight times per day for one week. Food temptation strength, conflict, resistance, and enactment were assessed, as well as license opportunity and perceived self-regulatory ability. When self-licensing opportunity was high (vs. low), a weaker association between temptation strength and conflict was observed. High license opportunity was associated with higher perceived self-regulatory ability for instances of low degrees of temptation enactment and predicted better handling of subsequent conflict after high degrees of prior temptation enactment. These results suggest that self-licensing can support self-regulation after initial failure.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIt has been said that entrepreneurs plan in order to deal with market uncertainty. It has also been argued that entrepreneurs act spontaneously and with insufficient planning, as time is of the essence and as market uncertainty seldom yields to planning. Theoretically, in uncertain market conditions, the concept of effectuation posits that entrepreneurs control their resources enhancing them through likeminded stakeholder buy-ins towards creating an opportunity. Alternatively, the first prospective action steps under uncertainty are argued to be taken regardless of resources position, reflecting enactment before sensemaking. Thus, enactment embodies resource-independent action-embracing ambiguity, whereas effectuation, i.e., controlling resources and enhancing stakeholder buy-ins, represents resource-dependent action that mitigates ambiguity and risk. This paper proposes that prospective enactment action and effectuation control action are analytically distinct, complementary and simultaneous aspects of entrepreneurial action. It further proposes that successful outcomes of entrepreneurial action may be anticipated by a high and matching combination of enactment and effectual action in a generative co-occurrence. The paper illustrates the propositions using cases that exhibit diverse action outcomes. It also potentially reconciles the ambiguity-embracing or risk-taking approach and the ambiguity-reducing or risk-mitigating control approach in understanding entrepreneurial action seeking opportunity in an uncertain and dynamic market.

This paper compares the enactment and implementation process for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) to prior tax reform acts, as well as situates it within other developments in the legislative process more generally. It details how the 2017 enactment process solidifies reconciliation as the primary vehicle for the enactment of major tax measures, a trend nearly two decades in the making. The ambitious scope of the TCJA, as well as the rushed and partisan reconciliation process by which it was enacted, has led to ambiguities and instability in the legislation. These features have, in turn, posed an enormous implementation challenge for Treasury, which has led to some troubling results. Finally, reconciliation has set up the opportunity for Congress to engage in budget gimmicks in the future. This paper discusses these trends and proposes solutions to them.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on high growth firms’ corporate governance. Specially, the study examines whether there is a negative impact of SOX on the interactive effect of board independence and investment opportunity set on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – Sample firms were selected from the Investor Responsibility Research Center Directors’ database. Both accounting- and market-based firm performance measures are used. Regressions are run to test the hypothesis. Findings – It was found that the impact of SOX on the interaction effect of board independence and investment opportunity set on firm performance is negative. Originality/value – The results suggest that the impact of SOX in corporate governance and regulatory environment mitigates the effect of board independence on the relationship between investment opportunity set and firm performance, consistent with the notion that the enactment of SOX increases monitoring costs of board governance especially for high-growth firms.

Full textAbstract:
International opportunity is a burgeoning theme in international entrepreneurship research evolving through cross-fertilisation of entrepreneurial opportunity and international business research. A majority of exploratory work on international opportunity recognition or creation stems from the conceptual extensions of entrepreneurship literature. This study addresses recent calls (Mainela et al., 2014; Muzychenko, 2011; Schweizer et al., 2010) for advancing research on international opportunity enactment by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this study, two theoretical perspectives of the theory of planned behaviour and the dynamic capability framework are applied to investigate whether or not, and the extent to which, the key decision maker’s cognitive attributes and the firm’s dynamic capabilities influence international opportunity enactment. The United Kingdom, as a developed economy with many internationalised SMEs, provided a vibrant context in which to conduct this study. International opportunity enactment is defined as the act of seizing international opportunities. In this study, international opportunities include opportunities for international market entry, new products/services development for international markets, and new process development for international markets. The study proposes that if an SME has high learning, relational, and innovation capabilities and its key decision maker has a positive attitude, intention, and self-efficacy, then the SME is more likely to enact international opportunities. This study adopted a mixed method research approach collecting and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data. First, a survey was conducted on a representative sample of ninety-one exporting SMEs within the UK. Quantitative data analysis was conducted through Partial Least Squares (PLS) structural equation modelling. The findings were then triangulated with qualitative data collected from five case studies. Data from the case studies was analysed in a deductive manner to evaluate the findings of the quantitative data analysis. The results of the analyses indicated that a key decision-maker’s self-efficacy and a firm’s learning and innovation capability can exert a positive influence on international opportunity enactment. The decision maker’s positive attitude and intentions are common attributes among participants regardless of the magnitude of international opportunity enactment. Additionally, a firm’s high relational capability supports creating new international relations, but in highly committed relations firms tend to serve existing international customers rather than taking up more international opportunities. The originality of this study lies in its effort to integrate insights from the management literature with that of the entrepreneurship literature in the thematic area of international opportunity. It highlights the role of firm-level capabilities alongside the individual key decision maker’s cognitive attributes as the drivers of international opportunity enactment. The findings of the study contribute to three specific areas of scholarship within international entrepreneurship: (1) international opportunities: it identifies four factors that positively influence international opportunity enactment with supportive empirical evidence; (2) the dynamic capability framework: it shows that the dynamic capability literature is well suited to explain the enactment of international opportunities; and (3) the theory of planned behaviour: here the study shows that in contrast to the present understanding, the attitude and intention of the key decision makers have very little influence on the enactment of international opportunities. In the light of the findings, and given the limitations of the study, some areas for future research are offered. The study also proposes some managerial implications that can help SMEs in their internationalisation journeys.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses recent calls to advance knowledge on networking capability (Mitrega et al., 2012; Grünberg-Bochard and Kreis-Hoyer, 2009; Sullivan Mort and Weerawardena, 2006) and international opportunity (Mamun, 2015; Mainela et al., 2014). Its rationale is to explore network capabilities in the enactment of international opportunities in German high-technology manufacturing SMEs in business-to-business markets. The study focuses on these capabilities and their contribution to the successful international expansion of such firms at three different business relationship levels: inter-personal, inter-organisational and country-level. Three objectives are formulated: 1) to explore the networking capabilities for German high-technology manufacturing SMEs in the successful identification and enactment of international opportunities; 2) to identify key factors that contribute to the successful enactment of international opportunities for such firms at inter-personal, inter-organisational and country levels; and 3) to develop theoretical integration between networking capabilities and international expansion of these firms. These objectives are addressed through a qualitative methodology, comprising 17 face-to-face interviews with key decision-makers and supplementary discussions with industry-experts. The originality of the study lies in its effort to integrate insights from international opportunity research with the networking capability concept. This study identifies the networking capabilities of Personal Interaction Capabilities, Interpersonal Liking Capabilities, Trust Capabilities, Capabilities to Maintain Relationships, Knowledge Exchange Capabilities, Pride as well as Cultural Familiarity; and explores the typical entrepreneurial behaviour key decision-makers display in their network relationships and corresponding human interactions. The study contributes to networking capability research by identifying a set of capabilities essential for the successful enactment of international opportunities. It also advances knowledge on how, once identified, international opportunities are enacted in dynamic and fast-moving high technology markets. The study also proposes some managerial implications in relation to entrepreneurial behaviour in networks, as well as the utilisation and development of such capabilities, and identifies some areas for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Entrepreneurship is a young field of study that rests at the heart of modern theories of economic development. Several studies have had immense endeavors to explain many of phenomena in entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurial opportunity and entrepreneur’s economic function. Still, we know little about how entrepreneurial action takes place under the condition of risk and uncertainty. Having value proposition as a central construct and building upon entrepreneurship literature, this dissertation is a further contribution to our current knowledge, particularly in entrepreneurial opportunity evaluation. It embodies four distinct but interrelated studies. Using a variety of independent and mediating variables and constructs such as gender, risk disposition, expertise, innovativeness, intention, self-efficacy, attitude, subjective norms, empathy, learning, and opportunity style, it seeks to address the challenge these factors create in the course of opportunity development for entrepreneurs.
The study No.1 examines “how different representations of entrepreneurial opportunity can influence the risk preference of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs, and whether this differs between men and women”. A survey methodology was used with a random sample of 135 entrepreneurs and 126 non-entrepreneurs. The methodology was presented through a new risky choice framework containing five entrepreneurial opportunities. The first results indicate that framing information of opportunity caused significant differences in risk preferences between the entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs and also between the males and females. In negative situations, except for the lowest risk level of the experiment, the male entrepreneurs tended to choose higher risky opportunities than the female entrepreneurs. However, neither group showed a preference for the lowest opportunity return in certainty. In addition, a comparative analysis showed that there were more differences between the four groups in the negative situations than in the positive situations. The detailed differences and risk preferences of each of the four groups were also analyzed.
The study No.2 inspects the moderating roles of the founder’s experience and innovation degree on the relationship between opportunity confidence and new value creation intention (NVCI) at the pre-founding stage of a business. For this purpose, it uses survey data from 157 prospective entrepreneurs in the ICT industry from university incubators in Iran. Using SEM, result show that experience, alone, does not moderate the relationship between opportunity confidence and NVCI. However, if entrepreneurs have required opportunity confidence, then medium and high-level innovation can increase the likelihood of acting on the opportunity for novice and experienced entrepreneurs, respectively. For novice entrepreneurs, the innovation variance from low to medium moderates the relationship between opportunity confidence and intent. In fact, this relationship is strengthened by the medium novelty level. Whereas, for experienced entrepreneurs, the variance from medium to high, moderates the relationship that is strengthened by the high novelty level.
The study No.3 explores the crucial factors that form the pre and post intentionality to create new values, particularly the post intention factors that facilitate opportunity enactment. It shows how intention impacts motivation-mustering to learn about practical knowledge concerning value proposition facilitator (VPF), which in turn influences value creation enactment. A survey methodology has been applied to a randomly selected sample of 213 entrepreneurs from 16 incubators in Iran. Using SEM and longitudinal data, the results showed that attitudes toward value creation and value creation self-efficacy significantly impacted the intentionality to create new value. Moreover, VPF has a direct effect on value creation enactment so that, it partially mediates the relationship between new value creation intention (NVCI) and value creation enactment. The findings did not support the influence of subjective norms neither on NVCI nor on value creation enactment.
Finally, the study No.4 seeks to shade light on the black-box of value co-creation in entrepreneurship and on the process through which the entrepreneur’s new value proposition meets the customer’s problem and pain in particular. Later I will discuss that successful entrepreneurs are often more empathic than unsuccessful entrepreneurs. Those entrepreneurs that offer their new values through an empathic relationship, learn a vital market knowledge (practical knowledge) that in turn shapes a shared mental model between them and the beneficiary that increases the likelihood of value co-creation engagement. Moreover, the performance of this relationship improves if there is a match between entrepreneurs’ learning approach and their initial opportunity insight. Furthermore, there is another matching mechanism between learning skills and the dimensions of empathy that enhances empathy capacity for entrepreneurs. These two matching mechanism at the end have a paramount influence on the value co-creation effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: Individuals have multiple identities, and several of them may be simultaneously driving enacted behavior in a given context. Scholars have suggested that intrapersonal identity networks – the combination of identities, relationships between identities, and identity characteristics – influence enactment. However, very little is known about the process by which several components of one’s identity network result in a single stream of enactment. This is important because different factors (e.g., leader actions) may impact this process and, in turn, change the way people act in organizations and interpret the actions of others. I examined a healthcare system designed to surgically treat cancer patients. Taking an inductive interpretivist approach, and using grounded theory methodology, I developed a process model of intrapersonal identity network enactment that also takes into account interpretations of other system members’ enactment. My findings contribute to the social identity literature by suggesting that a common, highly central identity is not enough to align behavior in organizations. Instead individuals may enact a common “higher-order” identity in combination with the rest of their identity network in ways that actually work against each other, even as they genuinely work toward the same purpose. I also extend the literature on multiple identities by explicating a process by which four different identities, and four characteristics of each identity, foster enactment toward the surgical system. Finally, I show how one’s intrapersonal identity network influences how they interpret the enacted behavior of others. In doing so, I extend the identity threat and opportunity literature by showing how one person’s identity threat is another’s identity opportunity, even when they share a common higher-order identity. In short, my study shows how individuals can work against each other, even when they are genuinely working toward the same purpose.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia featuring often violent dream enactment behavior, which may lead to injury. Its polysomnographic hallmark is loss of physiological REM muscle atonia. Prevalence is unknown but estimated to be less than 1% of the general adult population, and as high as 6% in the elderly. It is an important risk factor for development of alpha-synucleinopathy, with a conversion rate of approximately 80% after 15 years. Treatments include safeguarding the sleep environment, and clonazepam and/or melatonin to reduce injury. In the future, RBD diagnosis may provide an opportunity for new neuroprotective therapies.

Women have the opportunity to make significant economic, political, and sociocultural gains during transitions to peace and democracy; however, these gains are frequently lost when competitive electoral politics resumes. This chapter identifies the key mechanisms responsible for this loss, providing examples from several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. These mechanisms include institutional constraints, historical political conditions, donor-driven agendas, prevailing cultural norms, and the nature of the women’s movement. The chapter suggests that while the enactment of laws and policies related to women’s rights are an important first step, a feminist and transformational agenda in post-conflict societies requires focus on patriarchal cultures and practices. The chapter argues that such transformation is aided by the fostering of strong relationships between grassroots women activists and politically elite women.

The idea that addressing behavioral health issues will generate sufficient cost savings in the general medical sector to reduce overall health care spending is a poignant argument for integrating primary care and behavioral health care programs. The enactment of recent health care legislation, particularly the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (2008) and the Affordable Care Act (2010), affords a unique opportunity to transform the way in which care is funded. This transformation is vital to the integrated care project. This chapter outlines the history of integrated care financing and the separation of mental and physical health care systems and discusses reimbursement strategies that have been suggested to replace fee-for-service models. The authors argue that the success of the medical cost offset hypothesis depends on targeting high-cost patients, as well as moving away from siloed reimbursement toward global budgeting.

This book provides a detailed article-by-article commentary on the recast EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings (EIR), written by a group of experts drawn from several European jurisdictions. The commentary is prefaced by an introductory chapter that explains the rationale for the EIR, charts the background to its enactment, and sketches its key features as originally made and as recast. The commentary that follows has been published in time to cover the long-awaited and much-debated recast Regulation which was finalised in 2015. The introduction of the recast EIR has given authors and editors the opportunity to analyse a newly drafted and modernised law, containing a highly sophisticated set of rules designed to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Member State insolvency laws in cross-border cases. The timing of publication will enable practitioners and scholars to equip themselves with a thorough understanding of the recast EIR ahead of full implementation in 2017. The article-by-article analysis has a multi-jurisdictional focus which reports and evaluates significant developments in the application of the Regulation across Member States. This is a key new work for all those who advise on or research European insolvency law.

This research aims to tap into the largely opaque origins of opportunities in the online context by exploring the role of business model development as a key for the creation and configuration of the mental and social infrastructure necessary for the emergence of online entrepreneurial opportunity. Tracing the sources of online entrepreneurial opportunity reveals that successful online entrepreneurs claim to proactively manage their environment in terms of unfolding actions which result in the enactment and creation of entrepreneurial opportunities. Based on this real life contention and the emerging view of entrepreneurial opportunity, this chapter aims to achieve a deeper understanding on the creation of online opportunities through a quantitative study empirically testing the link between business model development and online entrepreneurial opportunity as creation in order to shed light on how business model generation shapes the way entrepreneurs socially co-create opportunities in the online context.

This chapter demonstrates the analytic capacity of the enactive approach developed throughout the book. The author draws once again on Merleau-Ponty, as well as recent additions to his work by the neuroscientist Francisco Varela and the cultural theorist Mark Hansen, in order to explore how listeners’ fundamental capacity to both affect and be affected by musical sounds in essence generates lived musical time. The chapter explores the consequences of this process with an analysis of time and eternity in Louis Andriessen’s monumental work De Tijd (1979–81). The author illustrates how Andriessen creates the conditions of opportunity for the enactment of multiple temporalities, leading to the possibility of experiencing “chronal anxiety.”

What is it about “play” that makes it a powerful context for developing a family identity and fostering social ties? In this chapter, we discuss how play supports families in expressing their feelings, sharing experiences, developing understanding, and making sense of the world around them. We describe playing games as an opportunity space in that they provide opportunities for thinking through what one values, desires, and cares about in the real world, and becomes a context for identity in the making. We demonstrate how families around Sims and intentionally designed video games for families support the construction, negotiation, and enactment of family and individual identities in non-threatening and playful ways between parents and adolescent children.

The enactment of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is a powerful tool that in theory affords tribes greater opportunity to bring their ancestors home to rest. Implementation is a different issue. The bulk of the NAGPRA workload undertaken by the Tribe is completed by the THPO bioarchaeologist who works within the collections section. The bioarchaeologist provides an interface between individual institutions and the THPO by protecting the broader Tribal community from having to deal directly with an issue not culturally appropriate for discussion. Because of the subject matter, the bioarchaeologist must prepare information sufficient for the NAGPRA Committee while staying within culturally appropriate parameters to encourage input from the designated spiritual advisors within the Tribal community.

Full textAbstract:
International entrepreneurship (IE) research draws on the notion that internationalization is an entrepreneurial behavior oriented to the discovery, enactment, evaluation, and exploitation of opportunities across national borders to create value and get a competitive advantage. Based on the clear emphasis on opportunity-focused behaviors, IE research has made progress and extended its domain and boundaries to an extent that the mechanisms operating throughout the international opportunity process can be described. The present chapter aims to depict antecedents, mechanisms, and outcomes of this entrepreneurial behavior oriented to the pursuit of international opportunities and it offers directions for future research. As such, the chapter makes four contributions. First, it outlines antecedents at three levels (individual, firm, and environmental) as driving aspects that lead to the international opportunity-related behavior. Second, it reveals the mechanism by which different actors discover, enact, evaluate, and exploit international opportunities. Third, it describes the outcomes of this opportunities process. Fourth, it suggests establishing a conceptual basis around one previously proposed definition incorporating a notion of a social context that would enable IE scholarly community to set the objective criteria around opportunities and go beyond the legal entity of the focal firm and consider multiple actors, resources, processes, history, and context. Finally, the chapter offers some theoretical contributions by proposing directions for future research.

This chapter chronicles the evolution of the Right to Education Act. After listing the evolution milestones of the education system from pre-independence era, the chapter identifies two judicial orders in the early 90s, in the cases of Mohini Jain and Unnikrishnan, as the impetus to a move towards RTE. Several NGOs used the opportunity to start a campaign for education as a fundamental right till they formed a broad coalition under the banner of NAFRE in the late 1990s that intensified grass-root campaign for RTE. The campaign and PILs pushed the government to amend the constitution in 2001 to make education after age six a fundamental right. A long legislative journey ensued that led to the enactment in 2009. None of the existing theories fit the entire journey though some stages correspond to different specific frameworks.

Full textAbstract:
The book begins by invoking child support laws and policies as gendered tools of governance that contain fundamental assumptions about the appropriate conduct of mothers and fathers following separation. While child support has been introduced across countries to reduce child poverty following the departure of a nuclear family breadwinner and the opportunity costs of women’s unpaid care, payment compliance rates have remained consistently low. Women are introduced as having to conduct the – often mandatory – work of enacting the child support system, yet programs often fail to provide meaningful outcomes for women and children, as reducing state benefit expenditure and maintaining fathers’ autonomy are prioritised. The aim of the book is introduced, which is to expose and unpick the interests served by child support’s enactment and inaction to provide a provocation for how it could be reimagined, resisted and contested.

Chapter 4 examines one of the earliest renewable energy laws in the United States: Texas’s renewable portfolio standard, enacted under then-governor George W. Bush in 1999. This chapter provides the early history of clean energy leadership in Texas, when wind energy grew rapidly. Relying on original archival research and primary interviews, it explains why Texas acted on clean energy before California and other more progressive states. It shows how savvy advocates used public opinion to drive policy change during windows of opportunity. More broadly, this case reveals a classic positive feedback dynamic: a growing wind energy sector increased its influence over the legislature and successfully expanded clean energy policy. Here, advocates relied on the fog of enactment to get a clean energy target and an ambitious infrastructure spending bill passed in the legislature. They also worked through the public to convince legislators that clean energy leadership was important for Texans.

Abstract The respective object will have the proposal to develop a study about the importance of the Criminological Examination regarding the rehabilitation and integration of the individual in society, as an instrument that makes it possible to offer the convict the opportunity to receive treatment, education and work, to undergo a process of social recovery. The Exam is located in the Execution Law and in the Penal Code, in the legal device nº 7.210/84 and the enactment of Law nº 10.792/03, which revoked the obligation of the referred exam and became optional. The objective of the work is to reflect the value of such a procedure that arises to promote/guarantee the dignity, humanization and individual/collective rights of the prisoner. The methodological procedure will be based on the bibliographic review, through specialized literature of scientific articles, books and doctrines, in the search to support the study and offer content based on the most renowned authors, such as: Bitencourt (2004); Capez (2007); Fernandes (2002); Fernandes (2010); Marcao (2009); Mirabete (2002); Mirabet (2004). With the application of the Exam it would be possible to draw a study about the personality of the individual and to analyze the circumstances that led to the commission of the crime, as well as to grant prison benefits, conditional release and regime progression. It was concluded that, the advent of the new Penal Execution Law, discarded the obligation of the prisoner the due condition to be evaluated, which would serve as the basis for the decisions of judges and courts when applying the granting of prison privileges.
