يشير الى التوجه نحو اقتصاد السوق العالمية، والى فسح المجال امام الاستثمار الاجنبي والتجارة الخارجية، بينما يشير الانغلاق الى عكس ذلك، كذلك يتضمن الانفتاح السماح لرأس المال المحلي والأجنبي بالنمو الأفقي والرأسي، وينطوي مفهوم الانفتاح على ما يوحي بأنه نوع من الاقتناع بين خيارات متعددة، على الرغم من أن الأخذ بهذه السياسة يشكل قناعة لدى الحكام اكثر مما يشكل مطلباً شعبياً، وتجدر الإشارة الى ان مفهوم الانفتاح الاقتصادي يرتبط بشكل أو باَخر بمبدأ أو سياسة الحرية الاقتصادية أو ما يعرف تحت شعار (دعه يعمل، دعه يمر)، هذا المبدأ الذي ظهر في العصور الوسطى على يد الفيزوقراط (الطبيعيون)، ففي هذه الكلمات …

Terrorisk: The Impact Of Terrorist Attacks On Sovereign Bond Yield Spreads Of Targeted Countries, Slava Rar
Business/Business Administration
This study estimates the effects of terrorism incidents on a nation’s borrowing costs. An event study approach is used to evaluate changes in sovereign-bond yield spreads after terrorist attacks occur. Prior research is not in consensus on whether the effect of terrorism on bond markets is significant, and no study shows why certain bond indices may rise while others may fall after a terrorist attack. This study does not find statistical significance, which suggests that the effect of an attack may depend on the targeted country. For terrorist researchers, this study is one step toward answering whether terrorists can manipulate …

Lean And Mean: Workplace Culture And The Prevention Of Workplace Bullying, Andra Gumbus, Patricia Meglich
WCBT Faculty Publications
Workplace bullying has become a hot topic in the popular press as well as scholarly literature. Compared to targets of sexual harassment, bullied workers quit their jobs more often, are more unhappy, stressed at work, and less committed to the workplace. Little is done about it because there currently is no US law against bullying and often the only recourse for targets is to quit their jobs. We present a case study and then review various legal remedies and sample company policies to explore the actions organizations might take to eliminate this destructive workplace behavior.

Organizational Socialization Practices For Successful Newcomer Adjustment, Stacey L. Holleran
Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses
This research study examines the practices organizational leaders can employ to assist newcomers in their adjustment to the organization, thereby creating an increase in the number of successful, long-term employees. In the workplace setting, organizational newcomers who fail to properly adapt are at risk for early “turnover” or an extended period of disengagement, producing an extremely costly scenario for the organization. Literature in the area of organizational socialization and successful newcomer adjustment suggests myriad ways to positively influence the newcomer’s experience; however, no single source offers a comprehensive approach that can be universally applied. Grounded by interpersonal communication theory and …

The Impact Of Mergers On Those Left Behind - Maintaining Employee Engagement After Merger-Based Restructuring In A Financial Services Firm, Victoria L. Basinger
Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses
This study explored the impact of organizational restructuring on associate engagement in a financial services firm due to a merger. It determined how much weight interpersonal relationships carry on associate opinions of the new organization, and what the new organization can do to reduce uncertainty and re-engage their newly acquired associates. The literature review looked at Uncertainty Reduction Theory, Belongingness and principles from Social Information Processing Theory to identify solutions for a decrease in engagement. A survey distributed to all associates at a financial services firm that recently underwent a merger yielded data for this study, as did five individual …

The True Value Of Value-Added Services In Digital Print, Noemi Garcia
Graphic Communication
This study compares the success of five digital printers in California’s central coast based on whether they choose to charge for value-added services. It questions past research that shows digital printers who implement an additional fee for such services are more successful than digital printers who do not always bill the customer for the extra services. It focuses on determining the reasons behind each printer’s strategy through a questionnaire. The study concludes printers not charging are not necessarily losing money because they have found ways to eliminate non-value-adding steps in their value chain. Therefore success must be redefined other than …

Measuring Learning Through Cross Sectional Testing, Steve Lovett, Jennie Johnson
Management Faculty Publications
The measurement of student learning is becoming increasingly important in U.S. higher education. One way to measure learning is through longitudinal testing, but this becomes especially difficult when applied to cumulative learning within programs in situations of low persistence. In particular, many Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) find themselves in such situations. Cross sectional testing is a pragmatic alternative, so long as maturity and selection effects can be estimated. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the utility and mechanics of measuring learning through cross sectional testing.

Incorporating Environmental Stimuli Into The Service Profit Chain In A Retail Grocery Context: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach., Treasa Kearney
Doctoral
Several theoretical contributions are highlighted; firstly that employee environmental stimuli construct contained five sub-factors, these were termed, E-design, E-music, E-lighting, E-olfaction and E-layout. This highlights the complexities of the environmental stimuli for employees. Furthermore this research found a significant direct link between employee environmental stimuli and employee satisfaction. Considering the literature examining the effects of environmental stimuli on employee behaviour is astonishingly scant (Skandrani et al., 2011), this is an important contribution to several literature streams. Secondly, examining a global configuration of the environmental stimuli can provide a fuller framework for understanding and exploring customer and employee behavioural responses. In …

Unemployment is rapidly becoming an American epidemic of social, political and economic crisis, even more so for “at risk” groups such as older workers. This study focuses on issues and factors surrounding chronic under-employment, unemployment and even un- employability of our older workforce in America. As the American “social contract” i.e. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are under enormous strain; much will be at stake as America deals with how social, societal, political, educational, legal and economic institutions handle this very complicated and multi-facetted issue... answering the question... “Will Americans over 50 be our next lost generation?” This study analyzed …

Developing Leadership Talent In Family Businesses: Embracing Risk Or Playing It Safe, Stephen P. Miller
Student Scholarship
On-the-job experiences are emphasized as powerful developers of leadership talent in leadership and family business literature. Our qualitative study of 37 family business leaders from mid-market privately held family firms found that it is not just having experiences but the nature of those experiences that determines whether or not authentic leadership talent is actually developed, particularly in next-generation family enterprise leaders. The "family effect," the extent to which actors in a family firm embrace risk in the development of nextgeneration leaders, is identified as central to the development of leadership competencies. We propose a conceptual framework with four factors that …

The Power Of Systemic Fraud: Implications For The Fraud Triangle From The Professional Investing Community, Joseph Wall
Student Scholarship
Fraud is a powerful tool for profit in organizations and for individuals. Professional investors control more than half the world's GDP and continue to commit fraud at an increasing scale which threatens entire countries and regions. Auditors utilize the framework of the fraud triangle for detection and deterrence. However, when fraud is systematic, both become challenging. Literature is silent concerning the lived experiences of the professional trading community, and there is a paucity of knowledge regarding fraud within it. Semi-structured interviews with 31 professional investors yielded insights into how fraud functions. Our analysis suggests that while opportunity and capability hold …

Factors Influencing Radical And Incremental Innovation And Firm Performance In Consumer Electronics And Information Technology Industries, Shengfa Johnson Chuang
Student Scholarship
Over the past two decades, scholars have contributed multiple theories and insights to explain successful product innovation. Yet scholars have been unable to determine the relative contribution of a host of factors to successful incremental or radical product innovation. The purpose of this paper is to address two questions: 1) What innovation factors have a significant impact on incremental innovation (II) and radical innovation (RI) in the consumer electronics and information technology (CE/IT) industries? 2) What mediating roles do RI and II play in how innovation factors influence product performance? To address these questions, we build a research model that …

Adversary To Ally: A Relational Approach To Shifting Buyer Paradigms, Donald P. Addison Ii
Student Scholarship
Scholarly literature supports the notion that businesses benefit from long term collaborative relationships with trading partners, yet arm's length, adversarial relationships between buyers and sellers persist. Although scholarly research provides insights regarding conceptual and operational aspects of buyer-seller collaborations, very little has been published concerning the preparation or activities that lead into collaborative relationships. To address this gap this study conducted research involving semi structured interviews with buyers and sellers to understand how collaboration evolves in buyer seller relationships. Of specific interest is how buyer seller relationships, characterized by fear of opportunism and guarded behavior, transition to collaboration characterized by …

What Are The Experiences Of Successful Minority Entrepreneurs In Building Effective Trust-Based Relationships, Robert T. Watt
Student Scholarship
Not a lot of attention has been paid to the networking behavior of minority entrepreneurs. Research on the minority entrepreneur population has typically taken a deficiency and academic approach in focusing on the high failure rate of minority owned businesses in the United States. This has created a gap in the literature on successful behavior of minority business owners. Networking theory suggests that entrepreneurs can use relationships as an asset to increase the success of their business opportunities. Successful minority and non-minority entrepreneurs have engaged in qualitative interviews to share their views and techniques in expanding their business opportunities and …

Essays On Hedge Fund Performance, Sang Heon Shin
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This dissertation consists of two essays on hedge fund performance. The first essay models exposure of hedge fund to risk factors and examines time-varying performance of hedge funds. From existing models such as ABS-factor model, SAC-factor model, and four-factor model, we extract the best six factors for each hedge fund portfolio by investment strategy. Then, we find combinations of risk factors that most explain variance in performance of each hedge fund portfolio by investment strategy. The results show instability of coefficients in the performance attribution regression. Incorporating time-varying factor exposure feature would be the best way to appropriately measure hedge …
