By means of CAQDAS software and in-depth interviews with management-level executives responsible for international procurement, the authors analysed the barriers faced by Spanish firms in the public procurement market, and studied the dynamic capabilities developed to overcome those barriers. Results show that SMEs develop dynamic learning and knowledge management skills and that these are embodied in knowledge acquisition and transformation capabilities. The authors provide SMEs with ideas not only about the learning and knowledge capabilities required in the international public procurement market, but also about the key barriers they may find. Moreover, sugg...

A fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was developed throughout 2009-2018, which begins with the euro crisis. The causal conditions used are: the years of experience of each think tank; the attributes of its media representation (number of languages in which they spread their messages in the media, thematic concentration, and media concentration); and the macroeconomic characteristics of the countries from which they carry out their main activity (competitiveness and belonging to the euro). This data has been obtained through FactivaV R (Dow Jones & Company#), the Global Competitiveness Index (World Economic Forum), and the European Central Bank. The core conditions analysis shows the importance of the think tank experience and the diversity of languages for their successful strategies. Likewise, the different pathways suggest that the thematic concentration and membership of the euro are sufficient conditions to explain the increased influence of the EU think tanks on the international public agenda.

These networks, by means of their competitive learning, try to preserve the topology of an input space. This capacity is being used for the representation of objects and their movement with topology preserving networks. We characterized the object to
