A Research Agenda For Studying Open Source I: A Multi-Level Framework, Ashley R. Davis, Fred Niederman, Martina E. Greiner, Donald Wynn, Paul T. York
Faculty Publications
This paper presents a research agenda for studying information systems using open source software A multi-level research model is developed at five discrete levels of analysis: (1) the artifact; (2) the individual; (3) the team, project, and community; (4) the organization; and (5) society. Each level is discussed in terms of key issues within the level. Examples are based on prior research. In a companion paper, [Niederman, et al 2006], we view the agenda through the lens of referent discipline theories.

Electronic Channels Of Distributions: Challenges And Solutions For Hotel Operators, P. Brewer, Andrew H. Feinstein, B. Bai
Electronic Channels Of Distributions: Challenges And Solutions For Hotel Operators, P. Brewer, Andrew H. Feinstein, B. Bai
Office of the Provost Scholarship
This paper addresses the issues of hotel operators identifying effective means of allocating rooms through various electronic channels of distribution. Relying upon the theory of coercive isomorphism, a think tank was constructed to identify and define electronic channels of distribution currently being utilized in the hotel industry. Through two full-day focus groups consisting of key hotel electives and industry practitioners, distribution channels wen identified as were challenges and solutions associated with each.
A Review Of Restaurant Valuation Literature, M. C. Dalbor, Andrew H. Feinstein, Z. Mao
A Review Of Restaurant Valuation Literature, M. C. Dalbor, Andrew H. Feinstein, Z. Mao
Office of the Provost Scholarship
This research examines pre 2005 restaurant valuation literature in an effort to identify unexplored areas in this emerging field. Although much has been written regarding valuation in general, there has been very little appraisal literature focusing specifically on restaurants. Of the research that has been conducted, there has been some controversy about whether the appropriate value of a restaurant is a market value or a going concern value. We also explore the continuing usage of “rules of thumb” in restaurant valuation. Although these rules are often based in theory as well as practice, their breadth can severely limit their usefulness. …

Interdependent Consumer Choice And The Oval Of Cassini, Aharon Hibshoosh
Interdependent Consumer Choice And The Oval Of Cassini, Aharon Hibshoosh
Aharon Hibshoosh
This paper follows a theory of Nicosia and Hibshoosh regarding the choice by social consumer unit who is facing conflicting institutional norms. The paper presents a duo-centric consumer residential choice model with special disutility function. The properties of the Oval of Cassini play a key role in the parstmonious modeling of this phenomenon and in the analysis. Specifically, we develop a residential consumer choice model where the consumer utility is affected by conflicted demands for activities of work and non-work institutions. The consumer unit is simultaneously attracted to two predetermined centers of work and non-work, while making its residence choice. …
