An Analysis Of Ecological And Social Rationality: When Are Lexicographic Heuristics Preferred?, Dong-Gook Kim
An Analysis Of Ecological And Social Rationality: When Are Lexicographic Heuristics Preferred?, Dong-Gook Kim
Managerial Sciences Dissertations
In their book, Gigerenzer and Selten (2001) described human being as an organism that adaptively reacts to its environment by selecting ecologically rational heuristics that are contingent on task demands; that is, adaptivity assumption. Empirical evidence of the adaptivity assumption is, however, mixed. In this paper, I review prior experiments related to testing the adaptivity assumption and criticize some of the past findings. From this criticism, the research questions are formed. The research objective of this paper is to test whether or not people choose their decision strategy as a reaction to environmental conditions. In this dissertation, the use of …
The Performance Implications Of Planning, Implementation, And Evolution Of Market-Oriented Strategy By Top Management, Jeffrey R. Foreman
The Performance Implications Of Planning, Implementation, And Evolution Of Market-Oriented Strategy By Top Management, Jeffrey R. Foreman
Marketing Dissertations
Participating in the growing research stream involving the market orientation-performance relationship, this investigation explores the impact of firms’ planning, implementation, and evolution of market orientation on financial performance. A longitudinal approach is used to capture the formation and evolution of market orientation. Evidence of market orientation as depicted in top management’s stated strategy is assessed through content analysis of 150 SEC filings (S-1s and 10-Ks) of seventy-five initial public offering (IPO) firms. The sample covers companies that went public in the years 2001-2003, and the study spans a six-year period from 2001-2007. Customer and competitor orientation are independent variables tested …
Digital Integration: Understanding The Concept And Its Environmental Predictors, Ricardo M. Checchi
Digital Integration: Understanding The Concept And Its Environmental Predictors, Ricardo M. Checchi
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
This study investigates the impact of environmental factors on the decision to electronically integrate operations with international customers and/or suppliers. The following research question motivates the study: How does the environmental context affect the level of electronic integration of an organization with its international partners? This study elaborates on the concept of electronic integration. Studies on integration in general and electronic integration in particular adopt a loose definition of integration: they all agree in that integration is the opposite of markets, but they define this opposite in different terms: relationship contracting, long-term contracting, coordination, etc. Finally, the study also responds …
Managing The Tension Between Standardization And Customization In It-Enabled Service Provisioning: A Sensemaking Perspective, Mark O. Lewis
Managing The Tension Between Standardization And Customization In It-Enabled Service Provisioning: A Sensemaking Perspective, Mark O. Lewis
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
The outsourcing literature has offered a plethora of perspectives and models for understanding decision determinants and outcomes of outsourcing of business processes. While past studies have contributed significantly to scholarly research in this area, there are an insufficient number of studies that are provider centric. Consequently, there is a need to understand how service providers address a core challenge: to achieve scalable growth by developing standardized offerings that can be sufficiently customized to meet the unique demands of individual customers. This study explores how patterns of collective action within and between a provider and two of their largest customers relate …

Patient Monitoring Via Mobile Ad Hoc Network: Power Management, Reliability, And Delays, Sweta Sneha
Computer Information Systems Dissertations
ABSTRACT PATIENT MONITORING VIA MOBILE AD HOC NETWORK - MAXIMIZING RELIABILITY WHILE MINIMIZING POWER USAGE AND DELAYS BY SWETA SNEHA May 22nd, 2008 Committee Chair: Dr. Upkar Varshney Major Department: Computer Information Systems Comprehensive monitoring of patients based on wireless and mobile technologies has been proposed for early detection of anomalies, provision of prompt medical attention, and corresponding reduction in healthcare expenses associated with unnecessary hospitalizations and treatment. However the quality and reliability of patient monitoring applications have not been satisfactory, primarily due to their sole dependence on infrastructure-oriented wireless networks such as wide-area cellular networks and wireless LANs with …

Moment Problems With Applications To Value-At-Risk And Portfolio Management, Ruilin Tian
Risk Management and Insurance Dissertations
Moment Problems with Applications to Value-At-Risk and Portfolio Management By Ruilin Tian May 2008 Committee Chair: Dr. Samuel H. Cox Major Department: Risk Management and Insurance My dissertation provides new applications of moment theory and optimization to financial and insurance risk management. In the investment and managerial areas, one often needs to determine some measure of risk, especially the risk of extreme events. However, complete information of the underlying outcomes is usually unavailable; instead one has access to partial information such as the mean, variance, mode, or range. In Chapters 2 and 3, we find the semiparametric upper and lower …
