“…Experience has been found to significantly affect team performance (Scelles & Andreff, 2015) but the current study uses a different approach to measure experience. In another study, a significant effect of team age (experience) on performance is reported (Mourao., 2017). He explains team age as the number of years the team has been in existence engaging in the game continuously which in this study is surrogate for team experience.…”

“…It was also observed that the majority of the footballers were playing with clubs in the big-5 European leagues (English Premiership, Spanish Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and French Ligue 1),while only one country (Iran) did not field footballers in the wealthiest leagues in the world. Mourao. (2017) reported that clubs with more national team players perform better than those without such kind of players.…”

There is a dearth of research on factors, which affect the composition of high performing teams in continental tournaments. Given the short time available for managers to prepare national teams for competitions, composing the right team will yield desirable outcomes. The paper traces the history of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, investigates factors to consider in constituting national teams and determines how these factors affect team performance. We investigate team mix, young talent, team experience and international ranking as dimensions of team composition to determine their marginal effect on a team's ability to win medals in continental tournaments. Using panel data from AFCON competitions between 1990 and 2017, we study the performances of thirty-eight (38) African countries. This empirical study finds significant marginal effect of team mix, young talent, team experience and international ranking on performance in continental tournaments. We provide a model for composing winning teams. The study has implications for related disciplines in management science, which rely on teamwork, cohesion and diversity as well as recruiting the right personnel to achieve organizational objectives. Further research should consider a similar study in Europe and other parts of the world in a multivariate analysis.

“…Therefore, we want to observe if certain teams’ characteristics enhance the creation of ties with other teams in terms of players’ moves (or if these characteristics make these ties more difficult). We are particularly concerned with team budgets, points/ranks usual in championship or centrality positions [ 26 , 27 ]. Therefore, the empirical development is divided into three stages.…”

Transfers in the football world have become a hot topic in academic studies in recent years. Spanish league (La Liga) is one of the men’s professional football leagues that have driven some of the most notorious transfers. In this way, we test determinants for the transfer relationships of football players in the Spanish League in the most expensive seasons with records (2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons). Furthermore, we identify determinants for the values of the observed transfers. The empirical analysis shows relevant findings. We recognize two implications. First, Spanish soccer transfers are not random and this evidence reflects the environment of imperfect competition characterizing La Liga. Second, the nonrandomness of the transfer process can be associated with an increasing inequality among teams and with a threat to the competitive balance in professional sports.

“…Assim como observado no cenário 1, as empresas não beneficiadas e localizadas na RM de Fortaleza têm o maior índice de mortalidade, talvez confirmando a dificuldade de competirem com um grande número de empresas e com empresas que possuem melhor estrutura de custos. De fato, como mostrado em Mourao (2017), em ambientes competitivos, o tamanho e a idade são fundamentais para a sobrevivência das empresas. Especificamente firmas que estão estabelecidas há mais tempo no mercado e que experimentaram um razoável crescimento, sobretudo dos seus ativos, em geral sobrevivem por mais tempo.…”

Neste trabalho é estimada a taxa de sobrevivência de empresas localizadas no estado do Ceará e beneficiárias de incentivos fiscais no âmbito do Fundo de Desenvolvimento Industrial (FDI), especificamente no Programa de Incentivo ao Desenvolvimento Industrial (Provin). Para tanto, foi utilizado o estimador não paramétrico de Kaplan-Meier, comparando-se os resultados das empresas beneficiárias com os resultados obtidos para empresas não beneficiárias. Os resultados mostram que a probabilidade de sobrevivência das empresas beneficiárias é superior ao das empresas não beneficiárias, independentemente de localização, setor de atividade ou tamanho da empresa. Com base nas curvas de sobrevivência estimadas, é especificada uma regressão de Cox, em que os resultados sugerem que a efetividade dos benefícios do programa é maior entre as firmas de porte maior.Palavras-chave: desenvolvimento regional; análise de sobrevivência; benefícios fiscais; FDI; Kaplan-Meier; regressão de Cox.
