Using Van Valens Procedure In Business Research To Assess Consistent Differences In Multidimensional Variability In Two Or More Groups, Mark L. Berenson, Kimberly Killmer Hollister Jun 2008

Using Van Valens Procedure In Business Research To Assess Consistent Differences In Multidimensional Variability In Two Or More Groups, Mark L. Berenson, Kimberly Killmer Hollister

Department of Information Management and Business Analytics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Much business research involves comparisons in two or more groups on many dimensions. This paper primarily focuses on demonstrating and providing guidance as to how researchers should approach a multivariate analysis in the comparison of sets of corresponding characteristics in two or more independent groups. In particular, this paper demonstrates the utility of a simple but not widely known procedure developed by Van Valen (1978) that should be employed to test for the significance of differences in overall variability in the sets of corresponding characteristics in two or more groups, a test that enjoys much statistical power in detecting significant …

De Evoluerende Marktpositie Van Beschutte Werkplaatsen In Vlaanderen: Uitdagingen En Knelpunten, Wim Van Opstal, Jozef Pacolet

Wim Van Opstal

Beschutte werkplaatsen hebben als grootste speler in de sociale inschakelingseconomie goed weten door te dringen in onze economie. Dit brengt echter ook de confrontatie met alle uitdagingen van een competitieve economische omgeving met zich mee. Het HIVA voerde een onderzoek uit naar de uitdagingen waarmee de beschutte werkplaatsen in Vlaanderen geconfronteerd worden vanuit hun evoluerende marktpositie. Daarnaast belicht deze studie de knelpunten vanuit de interne organisatie van beschutte werkplaatsen om het hoofd te kunnen bieden aan deze uitdagingen. De vitaliteit van de beschutte werkplaatsen aan de ene kant en de kwetsbaarheid ervan aan de andere kant, is het genuanceerde beeld …


Coöperaties In De Social Profit? Een Verkenning., Wim Van Opstal Jan 2008

Coöperaties In De Social Profit? Een Verkenning., Wim Van Opstal

Wim Van Opstal

Het is ondertussen meer dan 150 jaar geleden dat de eerste coöperaties werden opgericht om de levensstandaard van arbeiders en boeren te verbeteren. De jongste jaren begint men de coöperatie echter opnieuw te ontdekken als instrument om economische activiteiten te combineren met sociale doelstellingen. In deze bijdrage belichten we de rol die coöperaties spelen binnen het activiteitenspectrum van de social profit in een internationaal kader en staan we stil bij de vraag of dit ook voor Vlaanderen een interessant alternatief kan bieden.

Political Liberalism And Public Reason, Mario Šilar Jan 2008

Political Liberalism And Public Reason, Mario Šilar

Mario Šilar

The paper explores John Rawls´s idea of public reason, as reflected in Political Liberalism and The Idea of Public Reason Revisited. In Rawls’s later works, public reason acquires fundamental significance as a criterion by which the principles to be assumed from the outset in a theory of political justice may be determined. The starting-point for Rawls´s theory -the idea of citizens as free and equal reveals- that this abstraction falls short of an authentic conception of human beings as social by nature. A brief study of key issues concerning marriage and the family shows the difficulties that underlie this question. …
