...and Nerkar, 2001). Simply put, successful innovation and new product development require the ability to create and use new knowledge to offer novel products or services to customers. Research indicates that firms who possess prior experience are in a better position to innovate (Carroll et al., 1996; Henderson and Cockburn, 1994; Klepper and Simons 2000; Nerkar and Roberts, 2004). Prior studies have also highlighted the importance of knowledge and experience in enabling firms to successfully adapt to changes in technology (Bartel and Lichtenberg, 1987, 1991; Siegel, 1999; Siegel et al., 1997). This stream of literature specifically states that a firm’s technological and product-market experience enables it to “combine knowledge elements into valuable new products” (Nerkar and Roberts, 2004). Although this research stream makes valuable contributions to the innovation literature, it...

...Adherence: A Concept Analysis Tiffany Bruno Adherence: A Concept Analysis The concept of adherence to medication regimens has been an ongoing area of study across medicine, psychology, nursing and pharmacology. First, I think it is important to clarify the difference between compliance and adherence. The term “adherence” implies a more collaborative active role between the patients and their providers whereas compliance implies a passive role to health-care on the part of the patient (Carpenter 2005). The word adhere originated in the 15th century from the Latin “’ad-“ (to) + “haerere” (to stick)” (The American Heritage College Dictionary, 1993, p. 16). Adhere is defined as “to stick fast; remain attached” and/or “to be a devoted follower or supporter” (The American Heritage College Dictionary, 1993, p. 16). Adherence, then, is the “process or condition of adhering” or the “faithful attachment; devotion” (The American Heritage College Dictionary, 1993, p. 16). As a nurse practitioner, it is vitally important that we equip our patients with the proper information and instructions regarding treatment regimens to increase adherence and improve patient outcomes. As a nurse practitioner in the area of oncology, medication adherence to chemotherapy and targeted therapy agents, the need for a thorough understanding of adherence, is heightened due to the complexity surrounding the physiological implications of cancer and the pharmacokinetics of the treatment. Not only...

...Discuss and critically evaluate the arguments put forward by the specific ingredients perspective and the common factors perspective, regarding the mechanism and effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapy. Since its development during the 19th century more than three hundred and fifty distinct popular counselling and psychotherapy strands have emerged into the modern counselling field (Sparks, Duncan & Field, 2008). The years prior to psychotherapy’s birth were dominated by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches and its practice was largely restricted to physicians (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013). Psychotherapy’s arrival was not unnoticed from opposing schools of thought who were quick to question its scientific basis. Traditionally Eysenck (1952) not only challenged psychotherapy’s efficacy but also argued that it was “potentially harmful” (Miller, Hubble, Chow & Seidel, 2013:88). However, supporters of psychotherapy refuted Eysenck’s (1952) view and debate surrounding the fields worth began to accumulate. As a result psychotherapy research for the next few decades would focus on determining whether therapy was effective (House & Loewenthal, 2009). Subsequently, a plethora of studies that demonstrated its efficacy emerged (Smith Miller & Glass, 1980; Lambert & Bergin, 1994; Ahn & Wampold, 2001). So much so, that early studies revealed the treated population fared much better in comparison to their untreated counterparts (Sparks, Duncan...

...Polaschek and King (2002) proposed individualised rehabilitation programs for violent sexual offenders (rapists), based on the parallels with general offender groups such as non-sexual violent offenders. Since these treatment program types are so rarely reported on it may be salient at this point to assert that the literature identifies a significant correlation between sexual offences by violent offenders. Lievore, (2004) suggests that clarification must be drawn to the point that some authors contend that frequencies of violent behaviour amongst sexual offenders are predominantly by violent offenders who also offend sexually. However a different set of processes contributes to sexual and violent recidivism. Moreover, designers of treatment...

...Discuss the ways in which coaching psychology research might advance the practise of executive coaching Coaching psychology as a practise is a relatively new phenomenon which encourages an individual to realise and ultimately develop their personal strengths and attributes. Although it is a new practice, psychologists as a whole are yet to determine an exact definition of the meaning coaching psychology. However one of the most applicable definitions to this subject matter is “Coaching maybe defined as a goal - directed multifaceted process for enhancing people, work and life and, as an industry, it has and still is experiencing rapid growth” (Brock, 2006). This essay will examine coaching psychology and how its research will benefit the development of executive coaching and how previous research can enhance this particular sector in psychology. Some of the main areas that will be explored are how positive psychological research has informed this particular area as a whole, the relationship between a coach and client, what qualities make for a good coach and how future research can improve our knowledge and the practice of executive coaching. Positive psychology despite, being considered an applied science it is an empirical science by virtue of scientific method and research. Positive psychology is imperative to the practice of executive coaching as it concentrates on utilising an executives/managers ability to improve an “individuals traits which manifest themselves as...

...Chapter 1. Literature Review: Borderline Personality Disorder in university students 1.1 Chapter Overview The literature review first presents the evolution of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) over the past 60 years, highlighting the shift from psychodynamic perspectives to that of biological and environmental determinates. Diagnostic classification of BPD is then examined, and subsequently discussed in terms of sectors of psychopathology that serve to demarcate the disorder. Next, dominant contemporary aetiologies of BPD are discussed, leading to an examination of comorbidities and the prevalence of BPD across populations. The focus of the review shifts to an examination of BPD in university students, commencing with treatments that are both efficacious and suited for delivery in a university context. Then, management of BPD related behaviours on campus are discussed in terms of the role of university staff in providing assistance to students with BPD. The chapter concludes with a summation of considerations in assisting university students with severe symptoms of BPD while on campus. 1.2 Borderline Personality Disorder 1.2.1 The development of the Borderline construct Reliable and valid differentiation of the borderline construct has proved elusive. The phenomena was initially reported in psychodynamic literature in the 1930’s, however was not distinguished as a syndrome until 1953 (Knight, 1953). Indeed, the use of the term ‘borderline’ arguably represents a misnomer...

...New Drug Development Min Ding, Songting Dong, Jehoshua Eliashberg, and Arun Gopalakrishnan Abstract The pharmaceutical industry leads all industries in terms of R&D spend. Portfolio management in new drug development is extremely challenging due to long drug development cycles and high probabilities of failure. In 2010, a pharmaceutical company like GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) spent over USD 6 billion in R&D expenditure and managed a total of 147 R&D projects across 13 therapeutic areas in different stages of development. There are a lot of challenges in deciding on how to allocate resources to these projects in order to achieve the maximum returns. For example, how to evaluate the value and risk of each project, how to choose new projects for both short-term cash flow and long-term development, how to decide which projects to prioritize and which projects to remove from the portfolio, how to design drug development unit and incentive schemes to maximize the likelihood of success, and so forth. This chapter reviews both practice and the state-of-the-art research and summarizes the latest insights from both industry and academia. For a manager, it provides a guide to the tools they need in portfolio management in the new drug development context. For an academic, it provides a quick overview of the extant research and points out some promising research directions. M.
