This paper examines the relationship between parliamentary journalists and Spanish Members of Parliament. The study, based on surveys, is part of European research in which Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom have also participated. Among the key conclusions, it highlights the remarkable power of the media in politics and the sensationalism in political texts perceived by politicians. Concerning journalists, the majority felt that their professional work is driven by competition with other media and internal pressures, political and economic, coming from their own organization.

This paper studies the relationship between technological capabilities and firm performance. To achieve this objective, firstly, it is proposed a typology of technological capabilities and, secondly, it is defined a model where different technological strategies and industry structure are both taken into account. The empirical test was developed in the Spanish biotechnology industry. Results show that not all technological capabilities have the same effects on firm performance, as the strategic potential of such capabilities notably depends on competitive conditions. These results justify that certain traditional evaluation criteria for resources and capabilities can be criticized, and the need of contingent views to analyze the role of technological knowledge in firm success.

There is no competitiveness problem when there are no competitors. For that reason, differentiation constitutes a key strategy for the company; then it contributes to generate a captive market for the product reducing this way its competition. Supposing that differentiation is not possible, costs and efficiency appear as the only possible way (Esteban y Coll, 2003). Focusing the attention in the last one, this paper analyzes -by employing a non parametric methodology: the data envelopment analysis (DEA)- the technical efficiency of textile industry in Spain. For that, we have studied a group of companies of each and every activity that constitute the textile industry following the classification CNAE93. The evaluation has been done from financial-economic information obtained from the profit and losses account and balance sheet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
