An Ontological Approach to Design and Operate Innovation Networks
This work presents an ontological approach, representing the main entities and their interrelationships building the concept of innovation networks. In this sense, an ontological approach constitutes an "explicit specification of a conceptualization" based on what exists in a specific domain. Aligned with the recommendations of scholars studying the epistemology of ontologies the following sub-questions have been addressed: (1) how until now innovation networks have been approached by the academic community; (2) which elements are explaining innovation networks; (3) how the elements innovation networks are interrelated and; (4) which additional elements should be included to further advance the understanding of innovation networks. As a result of this research, it is proposed to leverage on the process of absorptive capacity to manage the performance of innovation networks. Finally, innovation networks established between 2007 and 2014 in Germany are analyzed and recommendations for policy makers and managers are discussed.
Sustainability and management
Este libro aborda una serie de problemáticas relacionadas con la sostenibilidad y la administración (management) desde diversas perspectivas. En este sentido, busca aportar una referencia pertinente al estudio de la sostenibilidad desde diferentes áreas funcionales de la administración, entre las que se incluyen la gestión humana, la innovación, el emprendimiento, el liderazgo y las finanzas. A través de metodologías diversas en las que se incluyen estados de la cuestión y aproximaciones de orden cuantitativo y cualitativo, el presente texto se posiciona como una innovadora propuesta que resalta por su originalidad y por la interdisciplinariedad requerida para el estudio de la administración y la sostenibilidad.
Bayesian Epistemology
Probabilistic models have much to offer to philosophy. We continually receive information from a variety of sources: from our senses, from witnesses, from scientific instruments. When considering whether we should believe this information, we assess whether the sources are independent, how reliable they are, and how plausible and coherent the information is. Bovens and Hartmann provide a systematic Bayesian account of these features of reasoning. Simple Bayesian Networks allow us to model alternative assumptions about the nature of the information sources. Measurement of the coherence of information is a controversial matter: arguably, the more coherent a set of information is, the more confident we may be that its content is true, other things being equal. The authors offer a new treatment of coherence which respects this claim and shows its relevance to scientific theory choice. Bovens and Hartmann apply this methodology to a wide range of much discussed issues regarding evidence, testimony, scientific theories, and voting. Bayesian Epistemology is an essential tool for anyone working on probabilistic methods in philosophy, and has broad implications for many other disciplines.
Analyzing Media Messages
Analyzing Media Messages provides a comprehensive and comprehensible guide to conducting content analysis research. It establishes a formal definition of quantitative content analysis; gives step-by-step instruction on designing a content analysis study; and explores in depth research questions that recur in content analysis, in such areas as measurement, sampling, reliability, data analysis, validity, and technology. This Second Edition maintains the concise, accessible approach of the first edition while offering an updated discussion and new examples. The goal of this resource is to make content analysis understandable, and to produce a useful guide for novice and experienced researchers alike. Accompanied by detailed, practical examples of current and classic applications, this volume is appropriate for use as a primary text for content analysis coursework, or as a supplemental text in research methods courses. It is also an indispensable reference for researchers in mass communication fields, political science, and other social and behavioral sciences.
Image Bite Politics
'Image Bite Politics' systematically assesses the visual presentation of presidential candidates in network news coverage of elections and connects these visual images with shifts in public opinion. The authors highlight the remarkably potent influence of television images when it comes to evaluating leaders.
Basic Content Analysis
This second edition has been completely updated to include new studies, new computer applications and an additional chapter on problems and issues that can arise when carrying out content analysis in four major categories: measurement, indication, representation and interpretation.

Campaigning for Hearts and Minds
It is common knowledge that televised political ads are meant to appeal to voters' emotions, yet little is known about how or if these tactics actually work. Ted Brader's innovative book is the first scientific study to examine the effects that these emotional appeals in political advertising have on voter decision-making. At the heart of this book are ingenious experiments, conducted by Brader during an election, with truly eye-opening results that upset conventional wisdom. They show, for example, that simply changing the music or imagery of ads while retaining the same text provokes completely different responses. He reveals that politically informed citizens are more easily manipulated b...
Communication in Political Campaigns
This book offers a comprehensive guide to political campaign communication using functional theory as a framework. An authoritative account packed with real life examples from campaigns across the globe, the book examines all of the important variables in political campaign communication. Considering campaign media - from television spots and debates to candidate webpages and direct-mail advertising - it looks closely at news coverage of campaigns, and examines the sources of campaign messages, the various ways of responding to scandal, the process of voter decision-making, and the ways in which context affects a political campaign. Chapters consider a full range of races, from presidential to congressional to gubernatorial, and look at political campaigns in the United States and many other countries including France, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan. Communication in Political Campaigns introduces readers to both theory and research on the topic, and is an ideal text for courses on political campaigns.
