This explorative study investigates the mecha- nism by which global leadership competencies are acquired from a meta-cognitive approach. In- depth interviews and a web-survey were conducted in Asian and Europe. Results confirmed that 1) all managers faced new and difficult challenges during international business assignments, 2) the nec- essary leadership competencies were both common and idiosyncratic across cultures, and 3) global managers, regardless of their nationalities, experienced \"double-loop learning\" while acquiring new global leadership competencies though \"breakthrough experiences\" during international business as- signments.","PeriodicalId":197284,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transdisciplinary Federation of Science and Technology","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127944508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first example is to use the framework of the game theory between two players by regarding the next price movement as the next action of a player and the information of the environ-ment surrounding the price movement as the action of the opponent player by using the evolutional computation. The second example is to predict trendy sectors by using RMT-PCA. The third example is to use the randomness of the price fluctuations by means of the RMT-test. An empirical rule “High randomness predicts a good performance in the next period” is extracted by studying the randomness of stocks in the period of 2007-2009.","PeriodicalId":197284,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transdisciplinary Federation of Science and Technology","volume":"520 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116203498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop an algorithm where, in order to attain maximum profit, bidding prices are determined by allocating MH for cost estimation and adjusting bidding prices simultaneously in consideration of the competitive bidding environments, and the cost estimation accuracy under the constraint of the total MH and the deficit risk of each order. Through numerical examples delivered from the algorithm, we show that the developed algorithm is effective for bidding price decision in EPC projects.

In neoclassical economics, on the contrary, almost all human behavior (including addiction) has been assumed to be rational. Recent developments in Neuroeconomics have revealed neural foundations for human judgment and decision making. Cyber technologies offer new risks for new types of addiction (e.g., internet addiction, online video game addiction, and smartphone addiction); while these technologies can potentially offer new intervention methods for the treatment of addiction. In this review, current findings in the studies of addiction in the age of “super smart society” (i.e., societies highly digitized and connected via SNSs) are introduced and future directions are discussed.
