“…The CFA indicated that several items had shared residual variance, and, accordingly these were dropped in order to achieve unidimensionality and good ®t indexes in LISREL, too (the dropped items are marked as such in Appendix A). It is not unusual that items are dropped during a CFA because a CFA also examines unidimensionality and that the residual variance of the items do not signi®cantly overlap, none of these are examined by factor analysis or by Cronbach's Alpha [14]. The resulting CFA showed that all the remaining items loaded signi®cantly and highly on their assigned constructs.…”

“…The data show that all the measurement items loaded signi®cantly on their respective latent constructs and did not share signi®cant residual variance with each other. The insigni®cant w 2 at 80.53 with 69 degrees of freedom ( p = 0.16) shows very good model ®t [21], and indicates that the constructs are distinct and unidimensional [14]. Construct reliability coe cients, presented in Table 2, are also above the 0.80 threshold [34].…”

Familiarity is a precondition for trust, claims Luhmann [28: Luhmann N. Trust and power. Chichester, UK: Wiley, 1979 (translation from German)], and trust is a prerequisite of social behavior, especially regarding important decisions. This study examines this intriguing idea in the context of the E-commerce involved in inquiring about and purchasing books on the Internet. Survey data from 217 potential users support and extend this hypothesis. The data show that both familiarity with an Internet vendor and its processes and trust in the vendor in¯uenced the respondents' intentions to inquire about books, and their intentions to purchase them. Additionally, the data show that while familiarity indeed builds trust, it is primarily people's disposition to trust that a ected their trust in the vendor. Implications for research and practice are discussed. 7

“…All factor loadings exceeded 0.65 and t-values exceeded 10.59, providing evidence of convergent validity. We assessed discriminant validity through model comparisons with  freed versus fixed at 1 for all construct pairs (Gerbing & Anderson 1988). In all cases, the chi-square differences were significant at the .05 level.…”

The management literature suggests that setting strategic goals facilitates the identification of appropriate business strategies and focuses management attention and available resources on their accomplishment, enabling subsequent goal realization. Yet, the literature also indicates that firms often find it difficult to realize their strategic goals and may find it even more challenging to do so when operating in foreign markets. However, little is known empirically about the extent to which strategic goals enable desired strategic positions to be achieved and factors that may affect this relationship. We examine this important issue using primary data from a sample of exporting manufacturers. Results support the existence of previously theorized strategic goal-realized strategic position gaps and show that these negatively impact performance. Thus, simply setting strategic goals does not necessarily aid in accomplishing the desired outcomes, and any failure to do so is costly. Drawing on organization theory, we find that internal capabilities and knowledge, and external market factors play important roles in minimizing such strategic goal-realized strategic position gaps. Specifically, we show that businesses with stronger architectural capabilities, those with higher levels of internationalization, and those operating in less dynamic market environments, are better able to realize their intended strategic objectives and thereby enjoy superior performance.

“…Para su realización se utilizó el méto-do de extracción de ejes principales, y rotación oblicua oblimin. Acorde con la elaboración de escalas para evaluar constructos 18,19 se procedió a desarrollar un análisis alfa de Cronbach y de capacidad discriminativa de los ítems. Finalmente, se procedió a relacionar las dimensiones del CIO con el CPP usando Rho de Spearman.…”
