Interior Outlooks
As one of Japanese cinema’s most prominent figures, Yasujirō Ozu’s films are often analyzed along the lines of their cultural and national specificity. In contrast, “J-horror” films are often seen as the antithesis of Ozu’s work and are typically discussed in the context of their national branding for international markets. This article brings these contrasting modes of filmmaking into conversation, highlighting aspects in both. In doing so, it d…
The dark line of Japanese noir
The article closely reviews Nomura Yoshitarō’s 1958 film Harikomi (Stakeout), which despite its widespread acclaim remains relatively understudied, in light of a specifically Japanese generic appropriation of the American cinematic mode known as film noir. While genre and mode are typically regarded as distinct categories, I intentionally conflate them to argue that the film transcends and problematizes conventional categorizations of film noir a…

What Is Japanese Cinema
Imamura Taihei (1911–86) is considered by many to be the first film theorist in Japan, and he is known chiefly for his two grand theories on documentary film and animation. Yet, at the same time, Imamura also developed a third, no less ambitious theory, that of “Cinema and Japanese Art,” in which he specified the national characteristics of Japanese cinema. This essay concentrates on this third and less studied thesis. Although the argument Imamu…

The Business Model
This article provides a broad and multifaceted review of the received literature on business models in which the authors examine the business model concept through multiple subject-matter lenses. The review reveals that scholars do not agree on what a business model is and that the literature is developing largely in silos, according to the phenomena of interest of the respective researchers. However, the authors also found emerging common themes…
Business Model Design and the Performance of Entrepreneurial Firms
We focus on the design of an organization’s set of boundary-spanning transactions—business model design—and ask how business model design affects the performance of entrepreneurial firms. By extending and integrating theoretical perspectives that inform the study of boundary-spanning organization design, we propose hypotheses about the impact of efficiency-centered and novelty-centered business model design on the performance of entrepreneurial f…
How do family ownership, control and management affect firm value?
Value creation in E‐business
We explore the theoretical foundations of value creation in e‐business by examining how 59 American and European e‐businesses that have recently become publicly traded corporations create value. We observe that in e‐business new value can be created by the ways in which transactions are enabled. Grounded in the rich data obtained from case study analyses and in the received theory in entrepreneurship and strategic management, we develop a model o…
Strategic assets and organizational rent
We build on an emerging strategy literature that views the firm as a bundle of resources and capabilities, and examine conditions that contribute to the realization of sustainable economic rents. Because of (1) resource‐market imperfections and (2) discretionary managerial decisions about resource development and deployment, we expect firms to differ (in and out of equilibrium) in the resources and capabilities they control. This asymmetry in tur…
Perspectives on Resource Policy Modeling
Thirteen essays and a panel discussion on resource-policy modeling demonstrate the degree to which economic modeling is being applied to energy decision making. Based on the International Seminar on Resource Policy Modeling held in Herzlia, Israel, in December 1980, the essays include: (1) a description and analysis of energy-economy interactions, process analysis, econometric estimation, and input-output techniques, with examples from the US, Ca…
