In this article, monthly and yearly electricity consumption predictions for the German power market were calculated using the multiple variable regression model. This model accounts for several factors that are often neglected when forecasting electricity demand in practice, in particular the role of the higher efficiency of electricity usage from year to year. The analysis performed in this paper helps to explain why no growth in power consumption has been observed in Germany during the last decade. It shows that the electricity efficiency usage dataset is a relevant input for the model, which mitigates the combined impact of other factors on the final electricity consumption. The electricity demand forecasting model presented in this article was built in the year 2013 with forecasts for the future years’ electricity demand in Germany provided until 2020. These forecasts and related findings are also evaluated in this article.

Implementation Factors

Activity-based cost management (ABCM) can provide improved information for strategic decisions such as product planning and cost management. While ABCM has been increasingly adopted there is evidence that, for some organizations, promised gains have not eventuated. It appears that the main difficulties in adopting ABCM derive from implementation issues rather than the technical design of the systems. This study examines the role of conflict in ABCM implementation. It is argued that attention to ABCM behavioral implementation enhances cognitive conflict that is then associated with successful ABCM applications, specifically the usefulness of ABCM for product planning and cost management. Lack of attention to these factors generates affective conflict that is associated with less successful applications. Results of an empirical study of 56 managers indicated that cognitive conflict intervenes between ABCM behavioral implementation factors and beneficial outcomes. However, while there were significant negative associations between affective conflict and beneficial outcomes, there were no significant associations between behavioral implementation factors and affective conflict.

Data Requirements

Off-model tools are introduced, the role of off-model tools in supplementing regional network model-based conformity analysis is discussed, and the impact that these tools have had on recent conformity determinations in three nonattainment areas is assessed. The impact of off-model tools is examined through case studies from Chicago, Illinois; Richmond and Hampton Roads, Virginia; and statewide in Pennsylvania. In Chicago, Richmond, and Hampton Roads, the transportation improvement program or long-range plan conformity documentation was reviewed to determine what role off-model tools had in conformity analysis and what impact they had in conformity determinations. In Pennsylvania, projects were reviewed to assess the transportation and air quality impacts of a range of individual projects. Three primary conclusions can be drawn from the analysis: (a) off-model tools have had a significant impact in conformity analyses—often enabling a region to demonstrate conformity, (b) the data requirements are extensive and data collection may prove to be more time consuming than anticipated, and (c) off-model tools generally do not provide a framework for assessing the synergistic or systemic effects of projects. Further developments in off-model tools should focus on integrating off-model analysis with regional travel demand modeling processes and project data bases in an effort to develop a truly comprehensive modeling framework.

The Relationship

To ensure competition and survival of business, understanding the indicators or drivers of export performance is important. Based on the organizational learning theory and strategic fit theory, this study aims to test the influence of market exploration strategies (MERS) and market exploitation strategies (METS) on SMEs’ export strategic performance, export financial performance (EFP), and export customer performance (ECP). This study confirms the leading mediating role of product planning and development (PPD) in the effects of MERS and METS on export performance outcomes. The authors collected questionnaire data electronically from 122 experienced SMEs that conduct international transactions in Saudi Arabia. Results from the Analysis of Moment Structures indicate that MERS and METS positively influence export performance; PPD mediates the relationship between MERS and METS in export performance dimensions; and number of sales and ownerships are control variables that influence EFP and ECP, respectively. This study contributes to the literature and society by proposing a framework that addresses the direct and indirect relationships between export marketing strategies and PPD, and their effects on SMEs’ export performance.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.
