The Impact Of Fantasy Football Participation On Ticket Sales, Merchandise Sales And Team Loyalty, Robert H. Smith
The Impact Of Fantasy Football Participation On Ticket Sales, Merchandise Sales And Team Loyalty, Robert H. Smith
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The growth of fantasy football has opened new economic opportunities for a variety of companies (Otto, Mets and Ensmenger 2011) and many have taken advantage of them. The question remains as to the impact of fantasy sports on actual sports leagues that gave rise to the fantasy experience. Drawing on reports from the popular press and academic research on the topic, a series of hypotheses is developed and empirically tested to determine how fantasy sports impacts the ticket and merchandise sales of the sports on which they are based as well as the impact of fantasy sports on the team …
Trading Strategy Of Firms In Financial Distress, Christopher J. Arnholz
Trading Strategy Of Firms In Financial Distress, Christopher J. Arnholz
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This paper tests two hypothesis 1) that firms entering financial distress incur costs that depress the stock price 2) firms entering financial distress are over sold, and the year after they enter financial distress the price bounces back. The paper tests a simple trading strategy of buying the distressed firm and selling the largest firm in the industry. The strategy yields an average return of 10.16%. The returns are enhanced by sorting firms by price to book and selecting firms from the highest quartile, yielding an average return of 34.75%
Addressing Corporate Ties To Slavery: Corporate Apologia In A Discourse Of Reconciliation, Claudia Irene Janssen
Addressing Corporate Ties To Slavery: Corporate Apologia In A Discourse Of Reconciliation, Claudia Irene Janssen
Claudia I. Janssen Danyi, PhD
Pressured by activists to take responsibility, American corporations recently found themselves in the spotlight for their past ties to slavery. Responding to the issue, they stepped into a complex discourse of reconciliation. Taking a rhetorical approach, this article analyzes the response of Aetna Inc. It explores how corporate rhetoric functions within present discourses about historical injustices and illustrates that Aetna's response informed by common strategies of corporate apologia inhibited meaningful reconciliation. The article thus furthers criticisms of (corporate) apologia in the context of historical injustice and raises questions about the potentialities and limitations of corporate rhetoric for reconciliation.

The goals of this study are to examine the relationships between loan knowledge, money management skills, debt tolerance attitudes, and student income potential to their willingness to incur educational debt at a mid-western university. The current study showed that freshmen students lacked personal and general loan knowledge and had unrealistic expectations of future income at graduation.

The Role Of National Culture On Relationships Between Customers’ Perception Of Quality, Values, Satisfaction, And Behavioral Intentions, Chao Wen, Hong Qin, Victor Prybutok, Charles Blankson
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of individualistic cultures (such as the American culture) and collectivistic cultures (such as the Chinese culture) on the interrelationship among service quality, food quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and behavioral intentions in the fast-food industry. First, the authors provide empirical evidence of the robust relationships among the constructs across diverse cultures. Second, they investigate how moderator variables such as customer age, gender, and national culture affect customer behavioral intentions. Moreover, they examine how national culture, as a moderator, affects the magnitude of the relationships among these constructs. Using survey data …

Predicting Potential Respondents’ Decision To Participate In Web Surveys, Chao Wen, Jiaming Fang
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Web-based surveys have received increasing attention given the potential benefits of convenience, low cost, and time saving compared with other survey modes. However, the use of the internet to collect data is restrained by the lack of willingness of people to respond. The objective of this research is to expose the determinants of intention to participate in a web survey. Based on the theory of reasoned action, this research proposes a model encompassing attitude toward a web survey, social norm, moral obligation, trust in the sponsor of a survey, topic involvement, topic sensitivity, and reputation of the sponsor to predict …

Off The Hook: Does The Supreme Court's Scheme Liability Ruling Benefit Firms In Litigation-Prone Industries?, Candra S. Chahyadi, Menghistu Sallehu
Off The Hook: Does The Supreme Court's Scheme Liability Ruling Benefit Firms In Litigation-Prone Industries?, Candra S. Chahyadi, Menghistu Sallehu
Candra S. Chahyadi
This study measures the impact afthe U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 ruling Stoneridge Investment Partners vs. Scientific-Atlanta on the cumulative abnormal returns and changes in bid-ask spread of firms in litigation-prone industries (computer, electronic, pharmaceuticallbiotech, and retail industries). Although we find, in general, positive CARs around the event, we posit and find that the conditional probability that a firm will commit an accounting misstatement affects both CAR and bid-ask spread The results show that firms with a higher probability of committing financial misstatements experience lower returns around the court's ruling. That is, the ruling increases information asymmetry and uncertainty, and thus …

It Is Not For Fun: An Examination Of Social Network Site Usage, Chenyan Xu, Sherry Ryan, Victor Prybutok, Chao Wen
Chao Wen
Social networking sites (SNS) have become a significant component of people’s daily lives and have revolutionized the ways that business is conducted, from product development and marketing to operation and human resource management. However, there have been few systematic studies that ask why people use such systems. To try to determine why, we proposed a model based on uses and gratifications theory. Hypotheses were tested using PLS on data collected from 148 SNS users. We found that user utilitarian (rational and goal-oriented) gratifications of immediate access and coordination, hedonic (pleasure-oriented) gratifications of affection and leisure, and website social presence were …

Participation Willingness In Web Surveys: Exploring Effect Of Sponsoring Corporation’S And Survey Provider’S Reputation, Jiaming Fang, Chao Wen, Robert Pavur
Chao Wen
Prior research involving response rates in Web-based surveys has not adequately addressed the effect of the reputation of a sponsoring corporation that contracts with a survey provider. This study investigates the effect of two factors, namely, the reputation of a survey’s provider and the reputation of a survey’s sponsoring corporation, on the willingness of potential respondents to participate in a Web survey. Results of an experimental design with these two factors reveal that the sponsoring corporation’s and the survey provider’s strong reputations can induce potential respondents to participate in a Web survey. A sponsoring corporation’s reputation has a greater effect …

Dynamic Crisis Modifiers: Bp's Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill, Catherine G. Bocke
Masters Theses
When an organizational crisis emerges, crisis communicators must craft specific messages for their stakeholders and the public. While an organization is attempting to shape how the public perceives it during a crisis, the media work to frame the public's perception of the crisis through news coverage. Situational crisis communication theory (SCCT) is a prescriptive theory that assesses a crisis situation to determine which crisis response will best protect the organization's reputation. Two factors, crisis history and severity, serve as modifiers that can affect the crisis situation, and ultimately influence the best response. BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill serves as …
