2. 21. Growth through Internationalization : A Knowledge Perspective on SMEs

   Author : Lucia Naldi; Erkko Autio; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Drawing on Penrose’s theory of the growth of the firm, the international business literature, the literature on the knowledge-based view, organizational learning, and absorptive capacity, this dissertation addresses four research questions: 1) What are the effects of downstream international activities (sales and marketing completed abroad) and upstream international activities (purchasing, production, and R&D completed abroad) on the acquisition of market knowledge and technological knowledge? 2) What is the role of prior knowledge in these relationships? 3) What are the effects of the newly acquired knowledge on different growth outcomes? 4) What is the role of processes of knowledge transformation and exploitation in these relationships?Addressing these issues has practical relevance for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). On the one hand, international expansion might provide small and medium-sized firms with additional knowledge, enriching their limited resource base. READ MORE

5. 23. Logics of Knowledge and Cryptography : Completeness and Expressiveness

   Author : Mika Cohen; Mads Dam; Alessio Lomuscio; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; epistemic logic; first-order logic; formal cryptography; static equivalence; security protocols; BAN logic; multi-agent system; completeness; logical omniscience problem; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : An understanding of cryptographic protocols requires that we examine the knowledge of protocol participants and adversaries: When a participant receives a message, does she know who sent it? Does she know that the message is fresh, and not merely a replay of some old message? Does a network spy know who is talking to whom? This thesis studies logics of knowledge and cryptography. Specifically, the thesis addresses the problem of how to make the concept of knowledge reflect feasible computability within a Kripke-style semantics. READ MORE
