Opportunism is not the only reason why firms exist: why an explanatory emphasis on opportunism may mislead management strategies
(2004)The object of the present essay is neither to overturn transaction cost economics nor to deny the reality of opportunism. Instead, it is to question the explanatory role of the concept of opportunism in the transaction ... -
Opportunistic Interference Alignment in Cognitive Radio Networks with Space-Time Coding
(2024-08-23)For a multiuser multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) overlay cognitive radio (CR) network, an opportunistic interference alignment (IA) technique has been proposed that allows spectrum sharing between primary users (PU) ... -
Opportunities and Barriers to Leadership for Female Finance Directors in the United Kingdom: a Qualitative Study
(2023-02-17)Despite progress and legislation, there are relatively few women in finance director roles. Men are still seven times more likely to be finance directors than women (Austin, 2020). This inequity led to the development of ... -
