17. Micronesian Texts for the K-12 Reader. A Selection Guide.

Author

Carriveau, Kenneth L. and Cunningham, Lawrence J.

Abstract

Micronesia is an ethno-geographical grouping of over 2000 islands spread out over 7,000,000 square kilometers of the Pacific Ocean and includes the Republic of Kiribati, the Republic of Nauru, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, an unincorporated U.S. territory. Thousands of people call these islands home, and numerous ethnic groups are represented in the region's demographic profile. This annotated bibliography of over 300 books about Micronesian subjects, including Pacific region texts in which the Micronesian element constitutes a significant portion of the narrative, is intended to assist teachers, parents, school librarians, public librarians, and students identify and select appropriate reading materials for their classroom use. What sets this bibliography apart from others is that: (1) the list is limited only to those items still in print, or listed in on-demand reprint catalogs, and easily acquired from the publisher or book vendors; and (2) all of the texts discussed deal exclusively, or at least extensively, with Micronesian topics. The bibliography is divided into the following sections: "Introduction"; "Micronesian Texts for the K-12 Reader Bibliography"; "Subject Index"; "Author Index"; "Publisher Index and Directory"; and "About the Compilers."

23. The downsides of specialization: the impact of business incubator's specialization on startups' R&D efficiency and venture capital financing.

Author

Abstract

Business incubation is a combination of business development processes, infrastructure, and people which is intended to nurture new businesses through their early stages. Before joining an incubator, many startups attempt to find a good‐fit incubator, but the incubator actually decides which startups are in its portfolio. We investigated the impact of incubator specialization – the percentage of competitors in the same incubator – on the startups' R&D efficiency. We measured R&D efficiency as the ratio of the number of the current year's applied patents of a startup divided by its R&D expenditure in the previous year. By analyzing survey data from startups positioned in incubators in China over a 3‐year period, we found that greater incubator specialization decreases startups' R&D efficiency, and through which incubator specialization indirectly decreases the startups' venture capital funding. The incubator's specialization is less likely to reduce R&D efficiency in startups where the startup has greater specialized technical knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
