    Sustainable business growth in SMEs: How may decision-­making guide the transition journey?
    The research aims at (1) exploring new theory at the interface of business growth and sustainable development while (2) providing managerial implications for growing firms. For this end, we propose typologies of decisions to be considered by growing firms; by means of a longitudinal case study of a Swiss family-owned SME wood construction company (that is in a process of intense growth), we identify, visually represent and analyze the sequences of selected managerial decisions. The empirical analysis and theory development pave novel ways for research and companies towards sustainable business growth.

    European Portuguese-Learning Infants Look Longer at Iambic Stress: New Data on Language Specificity in Early Stress Perception

    The ability to perceive lexical stress patterns has been shown to develop in language-specific ways. However, previous studies have examined this ability in languages that are either clearly stress-based (favoring the development of a preference for trochaic stress, like English and German) or syllable-based (favoring the development of no stress preferences, like French, Spanish, and Catalan) and/or where the frequency distributions of stress patterns provide clear data for a predominant pattern (like English and Hebrew). European Portuguese (EP) is a different type of language, which presents conflicting sets of cues related to rhythm, frequency, and stress correlates that challenge existing accounts of early stress perception. Using an anticipatory eye movement (AEM) paradigm implemented with eye-tracking, EP-learning infants at 5–6 months demonstrated sensitivity to the trochaic/iambic stress contrast, with evidence of asymmetrical perception or preference for iambic stress. These results are not predicted by the rhythmic account of developing stress perception, and suggest that the language-particular phonological patterns impacting the frequency of trochaic and iambic stress, beyond lexical words with two or more syllables, together with the prosodic correlates of stress, drive the early acquisition of lexical stress. Our findings provide the first evidence of sensitivity to stress patterns in the presence of segmental variability by 5–6 months, and highlight the importance of testing developing stress perception in languages with diverse combinations of rhythmic, phonological, and phonetic properties.

    Social capital in high-performing service organizations

    This study uses a configurational approach to explore what networking strategies professionals in high performing service organizations employ. Data was collected from 53 managers working for a global strategy consulting company and a Big Four auditing firm. Using a grounded theory approach, we define the variables characterizing a “networking configuration”. A consecutive cluster analysis is then conducted resulting in three distinctive configurations based on the networking strategy exhibited: “Game-players” are found to exhibit intensive networking behaviours upwards and downwards inside and outside the company, while “Trade-off makers” are adopting a networking configuration primarily focused on networking upwards. The third “Low key” cluster is predominantly focusing on networking with subordinates. Subsequent mean comparisons using Scheffe ranges for the three clusters on non-defining variables confirm significant differences between the networking clusters with respect to social identity measures and network characteristics. The results are discussed in terms of the characteristics of each networking configuration and their respective linkage to social identity measures such as role clarity, co-worker integration and organizational commitment as well as network characteristics such as network size and density.
