“…In the context of the NBA, players can help each other in several ways, such as setting screens to free up teammates. However, prior studies (see, e.g., Berman et al 2002;Beus and Whitman 2015) indicate that the most obvious form of collaboration is by passing the ball to colleagues to enable them to score a basket. Such passes that lead to a field goal are called ''assists'' in the NBA.…”

“…Second, we control for the influence of player talent, which might influence individual performance and future salaries. Following previous studies (Berman et al 2002), we used players' draft number as a proxy for their level of talent. We logarithmized the variable to account for the fact that differences between two adjacent positions early in the draft are more significant than differences between two positions later in the draft (Berman et al 2002).…”

Third, college players often need some time to adjust to the NBA; for instance, the different game rules can undermine the players' performance in their first season.…”

Purpose Researchers have paid little attention to the relationship between employees' objective internal and external pay standing and their job performance. Moreover, few studies have considered that employees' objective pay standing is dynamic; that is, it changes over time. In this study, we analyze the relationship between changes in employees' objective internal and external pay standing and their job performance. Design/Methodology/Approach We test the hypotheses using data for players in the National Basketball Association over a period of 12 seasons (n = 4830). Findings Decreases in employees' objective internal and external pay standing are negatively related to their task performance. Furthermore, decreases in employees' objective internal pay standing, but not in their external pay standing, are negatively related to their contextual performance. Implications Analyzing the relationship between changes in employees' objective internal and external pay standing and their job performance adds to our understanding of the individual-level consequences of pay dispersion. Originality/Value This is one of the first studies to analyze the relationship between employees' objective internal and external pay standing and their job performance. Moreover, this is one of the first studies that considers that employees' objective internal and external pay standing changes, for example, because the external and internal labor markets change. The study contributes to research on employee compensation and salary, and to research on pay disparities.

“…Also, those relationships, considered too cohesive and trustworthy, could make the actors susceptible to 'groupthink' and locked into the networks of already known players, rather than experimenting with new ones. Consequently, firms could become trapped within their own competences (Berman, Down and Hill, 2002;Langfred, 2004;Molina-Morales and Martínez-Fernández, 2009;Uzzi, 1997).…”

We examine the role of internal and external relational social capital (SC) as determinants of radical product innovation (RPI). By analysing both sides of SC, we provide interesting insights on their relative influence and their interaction effect on this type of innovation. Besides, traditional assumptions on SC and innovation are questioned. In our empirical study using a sample of 142 manufacturing and service companies we found that, of the two types of SC analysed, internal SC is the most relevant predictor of RPI in relation to either technological or market dimensions. The influence of external SC is not as strong as the internal one. Regarding their interaction effect, external SC reduces the positive effect of internal SC on the market dimension of RPI. Interesting implications arise for practitioners, who should pay special attention to the higher impact of internal SC on RPI and the need to carefully manage the difficulties that emerge when it is combined with external SC.

“…The former is defined by Grant [49] and Berman et al [50] as knowledge that is based on facts and theories that can be codified, replicated and transmitted to others easily in formal and systematic language. The latter is knowledge that is largely embodied or personal knowledge [44,51].…”

The need to obtain data to understand effective and available child mortality-reducing control measures in rural areas of developing countries is great. Evidence shows that this challenge can potentially be overcome with the increased availability of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to support the data/information/ knowledge needs of healthcare delivery services in low resource settings. Recognising the benefits of ICT and the need for improvements in the Nigerian health sector, this paper outlines the plans for the technical feasibility assessment of the IMPACT (usIng Mobile Phones for Assessing, Classifying and Treating sick children) smartphone application to capture, store and analyse of child health assessment data. IMPACT is a secure, scalable, user friendly mobile health (mHealth) innovation that is being developed to support 'small data' capabilities within the context of healthcare in the community in Enugu State, Nigeria, Africa. Notwithstanding the heightened focus on 'big data' in health, this research is interested in investigating the opportunities associated with doing 'small healthcare data' well, with the long term view of building to the big data scenario for healthcare in the community in Enugu. This paper outlines the plan for the IMPACT project considering the implications for health data, knowledge management in healthcare and the big data opportunities to support disease surveillance, healthcare delivery and resourcing and healthcare practitioner education.
