Using Ignatian Pedagogy To Support Faculty-Student Mentoring, Anne H. Reilly
Using Ignatian Pedagogy To Support Faculty-Student Mentoring, Anne H. Reilly
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Faculty mentors teach new skills, offer personal guidance, and act as role models for their students. In addition to professional support, mentors may also serve to encourage their protégés’ personal development and values discernment. Mentoring provides an opportunity to apply the experience→ reflection→ action Ignatian paradigm towards student formation, and building a meaningful mentor relationship may offer a transformative experience for students. In addition, many university-sponsored faculty mentor programs directly incorporate Jesuit values of social justice in their missions. One example is the federally-funded TRIO programs that include mentoring to assist low-income individuals and first-generation college students in progressing through …
Identifying Worldviews On Corporate Sustainability: A Content Analysis Of Corporate Sustainability Reports, Nancy E. Landrum, Brian M. Ohsowski
Identifying Worldviews On Corporate Sustainability: A Content Analysis Of Corporate Sustainability Reports, Nancy E. Landrum, Brian M. Ohsowski
School of Environmental Sustainability: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Companies commonly issue sustainability or corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports. This study seeks to understand worldviews of corporate sustainability, or the corporate message conveyed regarding what sustainability or CSR is and how to enact it. Content analysis of corporate sustainability reports is used to position each company report within stages of corporate sustainability. Results reveal that there are multiple coexisting worldviews of corporate sustainability, but the most dominant worldview is focused on the business case for sustainability, a position anchored in the weak sustainability paradigm. We contend that the business case and weak sustainability advanced in corporate sustainability reports and …
Current Thinking On Counteroffers: A Survey Of Rewards And Hr Professionals, Dow Scott, Thomas D. Mcmullen
Current Thinking On Counteroffers: A Survey Of Rewards And Hr Professionals, Dow Scott, Thomas D. Mcmullen
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Developing a counteroffer strategy and a related set of administrative guidelines is a timely and essential topic for several reasons. First, a confluence of economic, technological and social forces is reshaping work and employment relationships in a very tight labor market. Unemployment rates have dropped to less than 4.5%, a level that has not been seen since the 2008–2009 recession. Unemployment rates are even lower for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs and leadership positions, making it even more difficult to attract and retain employees in these jobs.

Graves, Gifts, And The Bereaved Consumer: A Restorative Perspective Of Gift Exchange, Jenna M. Drenten, Kristy Mcmanus, Lauren I. Labrecque
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
When a gifting relationship is disrupted by death, why might a living consumer continue to invest in it? Consumer spending on deceased loved ones does not end with the funeral. Given the embodying power of a physical gravesite, this article examines the practice of gift giving to the deceased in the context of American cemeteries. We employ a longitudinal approach, in which 180 cemetery gravesites were photographed. The photographic data are coupled with a netnography of grief and bereavement communities. Findings support a restorative perspective of gift exchange. Bereaved consumers utilize restorative giving as a mechanism to cope with loss …
Using Reflective Practice To Support Management Student Learning: Three Brief Assignments, Anne H. Reilly
Using Reflective Practice To Support Management Student Learning: Three Brief Assignments, Anne H. Reilly
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Reflective practice supports critical thinking and assessment skills through analyzing one’s own life experiences, and the role of reflection in learning has been long recognized. However, drawbacks of many reflective practice assignments are their broad scope and lengthy written requirements. I propose that the reflection process is robust enough to support management student learning through short written tasks as well. Three examples of brief reflective assignments are presented suitable for management educators teaching undergraduate, graduate, or non-credit learners: (1) writing an organizational story, (2) a reflection about learning from adversity, and (3) a goal-oriented personal change. Learning outcomes and student …
The Arizona Market: A Marketing Systems Perspective On Pre- And Post-War Developments In Bosnia, With Implications For Sustainable Peace And Prosperity, Katherine Sredl
The Arizona Market: A Marketing Systems Perspective On Pre- And Post-War Developments In Bosnia, With Implications For Sustainable Peace And Prosperity, Katherine Sredl
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Through this longitudinal study of a historically significant, complex, conflicted and evolving macromarketing space, Bosnia’s Arizona Market, the authors reveal that marketing systems are not merely random artifacts of human behavior; rather, they are adaptive, purposeful, can be pernicious and/or provisioning, and ultimately—if they are to reflect our humanity—must be well integrated into other prosocial systems to affect the best possible outcomes for all stakeholders. By engaging with a marketing system in a post-conflict, divided society, we are better able to understand the genesis and evolution of markets and marketing systems; the relationships among war economy, peace accords, and the …

"New Goods" Trade In The Baltics, Julian P. Diaz, Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho
"New Goods" Trade In The Baltics, Julian P. Diaz, Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
We analyze the role of the new goods margin—those goods that initially account for very small volumes of trade—in the Baltic states’ trade growth during the 1995-2008 period. We find that, on average, the basket of goods that in 1995 accounted for 10% of total Baltic exports and imports to their main trade partners, represented nearly 50% and 25% of total exports and imports in 2008, respectively. Moreover, we find that the share of Baltic new-goods exports outpaced that of other transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe. As the International Trade literature has recently shown, these increases in newly-traded …
An Analogy Explanation For The Evaluation Of Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Ugur Uygur
An Analogy Explanation For The Evaluation Of Entrepreneurial Opportunities, Ugur Uygur
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities under conditions of uncertainty; they make judgments. In order to understand these evaluations, I develop an analogical model that represents an entrepreneurial opportunity in the mind of an individual. The model proposes that an opportunity is an analogical knowledge transfer from a source business domain to a target business domain. According to the model, the cognitive distance between the domains influences the opportunity evaluation. Additionally, the inspiration behind the analogy construction influences the opportunity evaluation. The empirical design employs a hypothetical scenario experiment and the results show that the two analogical properties matter for evaluation.

Design/methodology/approach – In total, 81 introductory sustainable business course syllabi reading lists were analyzed from 51 US colleges and universities. The study utilized frequency counts for authors and readings and R analysis of key words to classify readings along the sustainability spectrum. Findings – The study reveals the most frequently assigned authors and readings in US sustainable business courses (by program type) and places them along the sustainability spectrum from weak …
Assimilation Of Tracking Technology In The Supply Chain, Rahul Basole, Maciek Nowak
Assimilation Of Tracking Technology In The Supply Chain, Rahul Basole, Maciek Nowak
Information Systems and Operations Management: Faculty Publications & Other Works
While tracking technology has become increasingly accessible, firms still struggle with deploying these technologies into the supply chain. Using the complementary perspectives of transaction cost and institutional theory, we develop an understanding of how supply network, product, and environmental characteristics jointly impact tracking technology assimilation. We empirically test our model on a global dataset of 535 supply chain executives and decision makers. The results suggest that assimilation is frequently initiated by an external stakeholder in a firm's supply chain and that firms must develop strong collaborative ties with their partners in order to take full advantage of this technology.
Pancho's Racket And The Long Road To Professional Tennis, Gregory I. Ruth
Pancho's Racket And The Long Road To Professional Tennis, Gregory I. Ruth
Dissertations
Historians have written little on sports in the United States compared to other topics. They have had even less to say about tennis than other popular sports in large part because the original research necessary to complete a full treatment of the history of the game appeared too daunting to undertake. By contrast, this study has made use of over a dozen arcHIVal collections around the country, many of which researchers have never used before, to tell the story of how tennis went from an amateur sport closely guarded by economic elitists and cultural purists to a professional sport thoroughly …
A Changed Taxonomy Of Retail Financial Ratios, Thomas Zeller, John W. Kostolansky, Michail Bozoudis
A Changed Taxonomy Of Retail Financial Ratios, Thomas Zeller, John W. Kostolansky, Michail Bozoudis
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Thirty-five years ago researchers established a taxonomy of retail financial ratios. During the intervening period, extensive changes in retailing practices have been accompanied by equally extensive changes in financial reporting, marketing and management methods. Financial reporting standards have adapted to reflect these new domestic and international business practices, while technological innovation has produced continually evolving hardware and software advancements. This study investigates the extent to which the taxonomy of retail financial ratios has changed and, if justified, will establish a revised taxonomy. It extends prior work in two ways. First, it utilizes advanced statistical methodologies and computing technologies to provide …
International Diversification Into Emerging Equity Markets: Perspective Of U.S. Investors, Ki C. Han, Sukhun Lee, David Y. Suk, Hyun Mo Sung
International Diversification Into Emerging Equity Markets: Perspective Of U.S. Investors, Ki C. Han, Sukhun Lee, David Y. Suk, Hyun Mo Sung
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
In this study, we examine whether investing in emerging markets is indeed beneficial to U. S. investors. The results we find in this study are not so encouraging for U. S. investors. First, the change in currency exchange rate weakens the benefit of overseas investment to U. S. investors. Second, the correlations between the U. S. market and the emerging markets have been steadily rising during the sample period. Third, most of these emerging equity markets scored lower Sharpe Ratios than the U. S. equity market. Fourth, we find that the emerging market and its currency market move in the …
Jackpot Rollover And Lottery Regressivity, Suk H. Lee, Ki C. Han, David Y. Suk, Hyunmo Sung
Jackpot Rollover And Lottery Regressivity, Suk H. Lee, Ki C. Han, David Y. Suk, Hyunmo Sung
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
The majority of earlier studies have found the lottery to be a regressive form of taxation that varies by game and whose regressivity declines at higher jackpot size. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the effect of consumer spending on lottery regressivity during the Mega Millions rollover sequence and reports the following findings. First, regressivity among six games examined in the paper varies by game and is inversely related to the prize/jackpot size of the game. Second, an increase in the jackpot size reduces the regressivity for the Mega Millions game, but not for the other five games. Third, …

Native Advertising: A Close Look At An Emerging Advertising Unit, David Kamerer
School of Communication: Faculty Publications and Other Works
This study is a content analysis of a random sample of in-feed native ads, as curated by the Sharethrough Native Advertising Leaderboard. A native ad is paid content that looks like organic content and is served in the same feed. Native ads can earn premium CPMs for publishers, while giving advertisers a “lean in” format that online readers may actually enjoy. What are these native ads like? They utilized a mixture of assets including text (almost all), photos (an average of five), videos (almost half had one or more), interactive elements (20 percent) and GIFs. Only 75 percent of ads …

The Future Of Work And Rewards: Forward Thinking From The C-Suite And Total Rewards Leaders, Dow Scott, Tom Mcmullen, Erik Larson
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Globalization, advances in technology, shifts in the composition of the workforce and intense competition among businesses are reshaping how people work and interact at work. In fact, the rapid changes in genetics, artificial intelligence, digital technology, robotics, nanotechnology, three-dimensional printing, biotechnology, smart systems and electrical grids make some think that a Fourth Industrial Revolution, which will transform society and the work that it does, has arrived (World Economic 2016). Computers, mobile devices and internet connectivity have made work accessible from virtually every place on earth, no longer requiring many workers to commute to a place of employment while at the …
