The Evolution Of Women In Business And Female Leadership In The Business Environment, Olivia M. Deputy
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
This paper analyzes the evolution of women in business and female leadership in the business environment. In spite of the tremendous progress made towards gender equality in the workplace and politics in recent decades, the revolution has stalled and internal and external factors remain which prevent women from achieving positions of high leadership.
The Effect Of The Dodd-Frank Act On Risk In The Financial Sector, Beatrix S. Haddon
The Effect Of The Dodd-Frank Act On Risk In The Financial Sector, Beatrix S. Haddon
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly known as the Dodd-Frank Act, was passed in 2010 in an attempt to increase transparency and accountability in the financial system. The purpose of this thesis is to discover what effect, if any, the Dodd-Frank Act had on both systematic risk and total volatility in the financial sector. My study shows that while the legislation significantly reduced systematic risk in only one out of the seven industries within the financial sector in the time period I analyzed, it successfully reduced total volatility in all seven industries.
Cybersecurity Disclosure Effectiveness On Public Companies, Jingjing Jin
Cybersecurity Disclosure Effectiveness On Public Companies, Jingjing Jin
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
On October 13, 2011, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a guidance on corporate disclosure of cyber-risks and information security breaches (SEC, 2011). To determine if a company disclosed information on the breach, I reviewed the company’s risk factors, management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations, description of the business, legal proceedings, financial statement disclosures, and disclosure controls and procedures. However, the disclosure regulations from this guidance are vague and thus do little to force disclosure of valuable information. The guidance has led to companies disclosing ambiguous, generic risk factors that can be applied to …
Critical Analysis Of The Confounding Of Clinical Trials, Eleanor L. Jordan
Critical Analysis Of The Confounding Of Clinical Trials, Eleanor L. Jordan
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
To provide a comprehensive overview of issues confounding clinical trials, Chapter 2 will discuss the parties involved in the research and development of medications and detail the individual responsibilities of each. However, the ambition of these individual entities often produces a conflict of interest especially when profits are involved [9]. Organizations and individuals such as insurance corporations, pharmaceutical companies (sponsors), pharmacy benefit managers, investigators (doctors/medical professionals) and most importantly patients, are all involved in carrying out clinical research and have definitive responsibilities they are required to follow for unbiased results. However, many rules are overlooked and biases go unrecorded causing …
Customer Complaint Management Systems (Ccms) In A Food Processing Industry, Maggie A. Macleish
Customer Complaint Management Systems (Ccms) In A Food Processing Industry, Maggie A. Macleish
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
Abstract
The food processing industry must meet customers’ highest quality expectations at the lowest cost. I partnered with Nestlé’s pizza facility in Little Chute, WI, to improve the current customer complaint approach of the quality department, which aimed to improve product quality. To improve the total quality of the system, this project established a defensive method of addressing customer complaints. Some strategies used to improve the current Customer Complaint Management System (CCMS) include Quality Functional Deployment (QFD), fuzzy logic, Kano’s methods, Voice of the customer (VOC) and Go-See-Think-Do (GSTD). These strategies are all related, but have not previously been used …
The Effects Of Quantitative Easing In The United States: Implications For Future Central Bank Policy Makers, Matthew Q. Rubino
The Effects Of Quantitative Easing In The United States: Implications For Future Central Bank Policy Makers, Matthew Q. Rubino
Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of the Federal Reserve’s recent bond buying programs, specifically Quantitative Easing 1, Quantitative Easing 2, Operation Twist (or the Fed’s Maturity Extension Program), and Quantitative Easing 3. In this study, I provide a picture of the economic landscape leading up to the deployment of the programs, an overview of quantitative easing including each program’s respective objectives, and how and why the Fed decided to implement the programs. Using empirical analysis, I measure each program’s effectiveness by applying four models including a yield curve model, an inflation model, a money supply …
