This study aims to determine innovation capacity of a firm and to investigate the correlations between performance outcomes and innovation types. In this study, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted to classify firms with respect to different novelty degrees of innovation activities in developing new products and the magnitude of market impact shortly after innovations have been introduced and then appraise the association between innovation types and performance outcomes. The data obtained from the Turkish industrial clusters show that the higher firm innovativeness in product and market with a wide-spread diffusion effect of innovations, the greater is the market and production performance. To the best of our knowledge, this study is one of the few studies applying the product-market growth matrix to determine/manage innovation portfolio of firms.

Objective. Differential learning is a motor learning method characterized by a high amountof variability during practice. The objective of this paper is twofold. First, a critical appraisalis performed of the theoretical rationale of the differential learning method. Second, asystematic review and meta-analysis of experimental results is made to compare theeffectiveness of differential learning compared to other motor learning methods.Methods. Narrative review of the theoretical rationale of differential learning. Systematicreview and meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials where differentiallearning is compared to other motor learning methodologies.Results. The theoretical rationale of differential learning is reasonable, but at some points toometaphorically formulated. Especially the use of stochastic resonance as the mechanismbehind differential learning is ambiguous and remains untested to this day. However, indirectevidence for a neurophysiological mechanism has been described and should be pursuedfurther. Empirically, differential learning has been examined in a variety of contexts rangingfrom technical skills and performance outcomes in single sports movements to tactical sportscontexts, fine motor skills, balance tasks and rehabilitation. The meta-analysis showed thatdifferential learning performed better than traditional motor learning methods and that theeffect was larger on the retention test than on the post-test. However, little to no evidence wasfound for the comparison to other variability-based motor learning techniques. Additionally,risk of bias was high or unclear on many items and publication bias was likely which limitsstrong confidence in the conclusions of the meta-analysis.Perspectives. Differential learning is a promising method to enhance motor learning but willrequire further research to test certain theoretical claims and to find factors that predict theindividual and time-dependent optimal amount of practice variability.

Purpose This paper aims to provide an examination of firms’ strategic orientations, innovativeness and performance with large Korean companies. Design/methodology/approach The authors investigated the impacts of firms’ major key strategic orientations (customer orientation [CO], competitor orientation [PO], technology orientation [TO] and internal/cost orientation [IO]) on firm innovativeness (INNO) and performance outcomes with large Korean companies. Findings The results of the analysis showed that CO, PO and TO positively influence the innovativeness, which contributes to firm performance. Originality/value The authors provide some managerial implications on the multiple roles of strategic orientations on firm INNO and performances, along with limitations of this study and future research directions.

Purpose The purpose of this preliminary study was to identify a vocal task that could be used as a clinical indicator of the vocal aptitude or vocal fitness required for vocally demanding occupations in a manner similar to that of the anaerobic power tests commonly used in exercise science. Performance outcomes for vocal tasks that require rapid acceleration and high force production may be useful as an indirect indicator of muscle fiber complement and bioenergetic fitness of the larynx, an organ that is difficult to study directly. Method Sixteen women (age range: 19–24 years, M age = 22 years) were consented for participation and completed the following performance measures: forced vital capacity, three adapted vocal function tasks, and the horizontal sprint test. Results Using a within-participant correlational analyses, results indicated a positive relationship between the rate of the last second of a laryngeal diadochokinesis task that was produced at a high fundamental frequency/high sound level and anaerobic power. Forced vital capacity was not correlated with any of the vocal function tasks. Conclusions These preliminary results indicate that aspects of the laryngeal diadochokinesis task produced at a high fundamental frequency and high sound level may be useful as an ecologically valid measure of vocal power ability. Quantification of vocal power ability may be useful as a vocal fitness assessment or as an outcome measure for voice rehabilitation and habilitation for patients with vocally demanding jobs.

Preliminary Study

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate executive function measures as they relate to clinical and academic performance outcomes of graduate speech-language pathology students. Method An observational design incorporating correlations and stepwise multiple regressions was used to determine the strength of the relationships between clinical outcomes that occurred at various time points throughout the graduate program (clinical coursework grades throughout the program and case study paper scores at the end of the program), academic outcomes (graduate grade point average and Praxis II exam in speech-language pathology scores), and executive function (EF) scores (EF assessment scores, self-reported EF scores). Participants were 37 students (36 women, M age = 24.1) in a master's degree program in speech-language pathology at a southeastern U.S. university during the 2017–2018 academic year. Results Findings of this preliminary study indicated that a limited number of objective EF scores and self-reported EF scores were related to clinical and academic outcomes of graduate speech-language pathology students. Conclusion As results of this preliminary study suggest that EF tests may be related to clinical and academic outcomes, future research can move to study the potential role of EF measures in the graduate admissions process in clinical graduate programs such as speech-language pathology.
