Research rigor and the gap between academic journals and business practitioners
Purpose
This paper examines the engagement of business practitioners with academic business research. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether there is a gap between academic research and business people, and, if so, how to bridge this gap.
Design/methodology/approach
Over 150 senior business practitioners were interviewed, in order to capture their views on the usefulness of academic research to them in their roles as practicing managers. Survey questions covered both their current access and reading of business-related publications and what the ideal academic business journal should be, in terms of access and contents.
Findings
Academic journals are not very well known among business professionals. If these professionals could choose, they would like academic journals to be written by experienced business people, to contain business cases and to be accessible on line. Existing academic business journal “repositories,” such as Google Scholar, are not mentioned in the survey results.
Practical implications
The findings indicate that potential solutions to bridge the gap between academic journals and business practitioners should not be complicated to implement, and would greatly help bring these two communities closer, with mutually enriching results.
Originality/value
This paper takes a very pragmatic view of the gap between academic journals and business practitioners, and seeks to assess this gap in terms of how it can be bridged on an everyday basis, rather than take a theoretical approach. It begs for the definition of actionable next steps.

The The POLAT Panel: Spanish Political Attitudes Survey
The Spanish Political Attitudes Panel Dataset (POLAT) is an ongoing panel study carried out in Spain. The present research note introduces the dataset, and presents some results of the first six waves, fielded in political context defined by a prolonged economic recession, major corruption scandals and widespread mass protests (2010-2014). The longitudinal aspect of the dataset allows researchers to trace changes and exploit within-individual variation in a wide array of political, social and economic attitudes and behaviors. The note offers validity checks for some of the key empirical indicators against the benchmark of concurrent surveys, including the European Social Survey. Finally, the note illustrates the potential of POLAT for the analysis of change in political attitudes and behaviors.

El IV Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba
RESUMEN: El IV Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba, celebrado en octubre de 1991, estuvo marcado por una voluntad continuista. Aunque el país atraviesa una de sus peores crisis, las reformas fueron pocas, dirigidas principalmente a aumentar la representatividad del partido y el grado de democracia en su funcionamiento interno. En el aspecto económico el único cambio fue el permitir a ciertas categorías profesionales el trabajo por cuenta propia.ABSTRACT: The IV congress of the Cuban Communist Party, held in October 1991 showed a will of continuity. Although the country must cope with the worst crisis ever suffered reforms are not as many as expected. The congress aproved some modest changes intended to make the party more democratic in its inner working and more representative, such as the direct election of the National Assembly members. The sole concession made to free markets was to allow small tradesmen to work on their own account.

Los usos políticos de Internet en España
En esta nota de investigación se presentan los primeros datos en España sobre los usos políticos de Internet, que incluyen consumo de información política, recepción de estímulos movilizadores a través de Internet y participación política online. Se exploran los datos describiendo los diferentes indicadores y se comprueba en qué medida la esfera online reproduce o no los mismos modos de participación que tradicionalmente se han distinguido. Los resultados apuntan a que la participación online se distingue como un modo independiente, mientras que al mismo tiempo puede complementar algunos modos de participación offline como el contacto.

Características individuais, incentivos institucionais e abstenção eleitoral na Europa ocidental
Neste texto é analisada a interacção entre as características pessoais e os incentivos institucionais relativos à opção de não votar, focando-se em especial a articulação destes dois tipos de variáveis. O estudo demonstra que, ao analisar as interacções, é importante distinguir entre a magnitude e as consequências dos efeitos das variáveis explicativas. Isto tem implicações importantes para a interpretação dos resultados da análise da regressão logística. Cet article analyse l'interaction entre caractéristiques individuelles et encouragements institutionnels en matière d'abstention électorale, en mettant un accent particulier sur l'articulation de ces deux types de variables explicatives. L'étude des données contextuelles et des données individuelles relatives aux élections parlementaires dans 15 pays de l'Europe occidentale, révèle que l'effet des ressources et des motivations individuelles sur l'abstention n'est pas constant dans les différents pays. D'autre part, l'effet des encouragements institutionnels (vote obligatoire, facilités de vote, seuils électoraux de représentation et expression des préférences) sur le comportement abstentionniste dépend du niveau des ressources et de la motivation de l'électeur. This article examines the interaction between individual characteristics and institutional incentives over non-voting, with a special focus on the interaction between these two types of explanatory variables. The analysis of survey and contextual data regarding parliamentary elections in 15 western European countries shows that the effect of individual resources and motivations on abstention is not constant across different countries. Conversely, the effect of institutional incentives (compulsory voting, voting facilities, electoral thresholds of representation and preference expression) over nonvoting depends on the elector's level of resources and motivations. One of the four institutional incentives considered has even opposite effects for citizens with different individual characteristics. The analysis also shows that when analysing interactions it is fundamental to distinguish between magnitudes and consequences of the effects of explanatory variables. This has important implications for the interpretation of the results of logistic regression analysis.
