A Japanese View of Nature
Although Seibutsu no Sekai (The World of Living Things), the seminal 1941 work of Kinji Imanishi, had an enormous impact in Japan, both on scholars and on the general public, very little is known about it in the English-speaking world. This book makes the complete text available in English for the first time and provides an extensive introduction and notes to set the work in context. Imanishi's work, based on a very wide knowledge of science and the natural world, puts forward a distinctive view of nature and how it should be studied. Imanishi's work is particularly important as a background to ecology, primatology and human social evolution theory in Japan. Imanishi's views on these subjects are extremely interesting because he formulated an approach to viewing nature which challenged the usual international ideas of the time, and which foreshadow approaches that have currency today.
Advertising and Differentiated Products
This volume of papers develops the competence perspective on learning and dynamic capabilities development. The first two papers explore how organizational competence and dynamic capabilities can support the competitive position of a firm.

Taken together, the papers in this volume provide a bridge between many traditional management concepts, frameworks, and theoretical perspectives. [Resumen de editor].
Stock Market Opening and Efficiency in Emerging Market Stock Prices
In this paper we investigate three empirical aspects of emerging stock markets. First, we use the endogenous structural break techniques of Bai (1996) and Bai and Perron (1998) to identify stock market opening dates in 16 different emerging market countries. The results indicate that there is some weak evidence that endogenous break opening dates precede the official opening dates as described by other authors. This suggests that information prior to the official opening date influenced market activity. Second, using the endogenous break dates as the true opening dates, we examine whether the opening of the market improves stock market efficiency. Using two different forms of data and severa...
