Explorer CEOs: The effect of CEO career variety on large firms’ relative exploration orientation
(2018)
Prior studies demonstrate that firms need to make smart trade-off decisions between exploration and exploitation activities in order to increase performance. Chief executive officers (CEOs) are principal decision makers of a firm’s strategic posture. In this study, we theorize and empirically examine how relative exploration orientation of large publicly listed firms varies based on the career variety of their CEOs – that is, how diverse the professional experiences of executives were prior to them becoming CEOs. We further argue that the heterogeneity and structure of the top management team moderates the impact of CEO career variety on firms’ relative exploration orientation. Based on multisource secondary data for 318 S&P 500 firms from 2005 to 2015, we find that CEO career variety is positively associated with relative exploration orientation.
Interestingly, CEOs with high career varieties appear to be less effective in pursuing exploration, when they work with highly heterogeneous and structurally interdependent top management teams.
This contribution discusses the utilization of RF power in an MRI system with RF mode shimming which enables the superposition of circularly polarized modes of a transmit RF coil array driven by a Butler matrix. Since the required power for the individual modes can vary widely, mode-shimming can result in a significant underutilization of the total available RF power. A variable power combiner (VPC) is proposed to improve the power utilization: it can be realized as a reconfiguration of the MRI transmit system by the inclusion of one additional matrix network which receives the power from all transmit amplifiers at its input ports and provides any desired (combined) power distribution at its output ports by controlling the phase and amplitude of the amplifiers’ input signals. The power distribution at the output ports of the VPC is then fed into the “mode” ports of the coil array Butler matrix in order to superimpose the spatial modes at the highest achievable power utilization. The VPC configuration is compared to the standard configuration of the transmit chain of our MRI system with 8 transmit channels and 16 coils. In realistic scenarios, improved power utilization was achieved from 17% to 60% and from 14% to 55% for an elliptical phantom and a region of interest in the abdomen, respectively, and an increase of the power utilization of 1 dB for a region of interest in the upper leg. In general, it is found that the VPC allows significant improvement in power utilization when the shimming solution demands only a few modes to be energized, while the technique can yield loss in power utilization in cases with many modes required at high power level.
In Zeiten der COVID-19-Pandemie ist die Aufklärung der Bevölkerung, besonders in Hygiene- und Gesundheitsfragen, wichtiger denn je. Das Deutsche Hygiene-Museum macht sich genau das zur Aufgabe. Unter Einbeziehung des Museumsprofils „Das Museum vom Menschen“ und der Architektur zwischen Bauhaus und Neoklassizismus erhält das Museum ein neues Erscheinungsbild. Dabei wird der Sammlungsaspekt gezielt visualisiert, denn das Museum zeichnet sich durch einen umfangreichen Sammlungsbestand aus. Die heterogene Sammlungsbreite macht es europaweit zu einem Unikat. Da das Museum einen Teil des Gesundheitssystems darstellt, ist das überwiegend rot gehaltene Corporate Design und die Wort-Bild-Marke eine Anlehnung an das Deutsche Rote Kreuz. Das medienübergreifende Erscheinungsbild unterstreicht somit die Werte und Besonderheiten des Museums und hat zusätzlich den Auftrag, über Hygiene und Gesundheit aufzuklären.
