Results show that knowledge transfer activities are facilitated when industrial firms have more mechanistic structures, cultures that are more stable and direction-oriented, and when the firm is more trusting of its university research center partner.
All the while, leaders are creating organizational structures that are hierarchical, mechanistic and territorial, coupled by a fixation on maximizing shareholder value or bureaucratic tendencies.
Profitable growth requires an organizational design that pursues seemingly contradictory demands: mechanistic structures to ensure the efficient exploitation of existing capabilities, and organic structures to enable the exploration of new growth opportunities.
For instance, our students were exposed to a myriad of modeling tools (such as MATLAB, STELLA, Vensim) that helped to span the range of training from prediction to identification of mechanistic structures.
Models are explanatory in virtue of the fact that they represent the causal/mechanistic structures that produce, underlie, or maintain the phenomenon.
It is shown how mechanistic knowledge can be built directly within the connectionist structure that results in a semi-empirical network model.
The conformational changes experimentally observed in the enzymes by binding a broad range of ligands can be predicted by the most cooperative lowest frequency modes of motion by ANM, where the hinges are the key mechanistic regions of the structure that control the conformational ensemble.
For Thompson, class was an expression of "community", not – as Marx had instructed – one component of a mechanistic structure.
In doing this, it is important to retain the mechanistic structure even for simpler models.
One of the challenges when introducing students to reflective learning strategies is to provide enough structure that they don't feel lost without making the process mechanistic.
Changes in codon usage and changes in the mRNA secondary structure are two mechanistic hypotheses that can potentially explain these experimental results.
