Each time that a response according to the evaluation scale is recorded, a relation to the respective domains which are assigned to the respective indicator is made.
The proposed procedure consists of the following steps: For each interval two estimations of the respective indicator are determined: an upper and a lower level.
For C V = 0.3, the difference between the forecasted limits of the respective indicator can reach 0.7 in five years and 0.8 in ten.
For partial ratings on the basis of absolute figures, the top group is determined by those BuSs with the highest values which generate a cumulative 50% of the total sum of the respective indicator values.
This difference between the two models could be traced back to the coefficients for testing hypotheses 3, 7, 9a, and 10a, the paths from managerial orientations and innovation intensities to the respective indicator of firm performance.
We found that the decrease over time was independent of the initial level of the perceived social integration, as neither the slope for the apprentice trainer relationship nor the slope of work group integration were correlated with the level of the respective indicator.
