The Relationship Between A Firm’S Ownership Structure, Governance, And Innovation, Erica J. Wagner
The Relationship Between A Firm’S Ownership Structure, Governance, And Innovation, Erica J. Wagner
College of Business Theses and Dissertations
Firm innovation is key for many companies to continuously thrive in the marketplace. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks to making innovative investments because of the upfront costs and riskiness of future returns. This creates conflicts because managers are under pressure to meet short-term earnings forecasts. A managers’ short-term focus on a firm’s business strategy may not be in the best interests of the shareholders’ long-term vision of a firm. For this reason, a strong corporate governance system can trigger an increased level of monitoring of the decision-making of managers so that it’s aligned with shareholders’ goals. Often, a firm’s long-term strategy …
A Confident Culture For Creativity? Creative Self-Efficacy And Innovation Behavior Moderated By Perception Of Culture: Millennials Versus Generation Xers, Karen Bartuch
College of Business Theses and Dissertations
Innovation is a strategic priority for many companies today and some are more successful at it than others. This study aims to understand what factors affect the innovation behavior of employees. Specifically, this study examined the perceptions of creative self-efficacy (CSE) in individuals and their innovation behavior. In addition, individual perceptions of culture for innovation within their organization were measured to determine how culture affects the relationship between CSE and innovation behavior. According to social cognitive theory (SCT), an individual’s behavior, cognitions and the environment influence each other in a dynamic fashion.
Given the prevalence of millennials in the workforce …

“You Are No Longer Creative When You Give Up”: Technical Theatre’S Creative Sleight Of Hand, Maggi Phillips, Renée Newman
Behind the Scenes: Journal of Theatre Production Practice
The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts at Edith Cowan University
contains vocational education training programmes including technical design
courses with broad reach covering arts administration, stage management, stage
lighting, sound design, set and costume design. In an unsettling problematic,
teachers and students in the broadly themed Production and Design courses often
find themselves isolated from the other creative disciplines or battle with the
perception that their work is in fact not creative but entirely the technical
implementation of ‘someone’s else’s vision’. This approach seems to dismiss the
creative thinking required in the development and orchestration of the design and …

Government Choices In Innovation Funding (With Reference To Climate Change), Joshua Sarnoff
Government Choices In Innovation Funding (With Reference To Climate Change), Joshua Sarnoff
College of Law Faculty
Huge amounts of money will soon be spent by governments and private entities to develop technology to reduce the costs of climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to deploy new energy and transportation infrastructures. Incredibly, we still lack any good idea of the best means of providing massive amounts of government or private money so as to promote the most innovation and technology diffusion at the lowest cost. This Article seeks to support better analyses of, and decision making regarding, the choices of government innovation-funding mechanisms by discussing the limits of current analyses and providing a taxonomy of such measures. …
The Patent System And Climate Change, Joshua Sarnoff
The Patent System And Climate Change, Joshua Sarnoff
College of Law Faculty
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions and consequent climate changes and social responses will depend substantially upon the rapid development and widespread dissemination of a wide variety of new mitigation and adaptation technologies. The international approach adopted by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Cancun will focus the worldwide innovation system more closely on private funding and markets, and thus on the acquisition of patents at the front end of the coming innovation pipeline. The choice to rely on private markets and patents is highly debatable. But it is certain to create substantial tensions for the patent system …
