Southwest Airlines’ Successful Economistic, Cost-Leadership Strategy Examined In Light Of Paul Lawrence’S Renewed Darwinian Theory: An Analysis, Nadya Chishty-Mujahid

Journal of Global Business Insights

This paper examines the successful business strategy employed by Southwest Airlines with special respect to the recent theories of Paul Lawrence. Long-time professor of organizational behavior at Harvard Business School, Lawrence posited that Renewed Darwinian theory reflected four basic human drives: acquisition, defense, comprehension, and bonding.

Family Influence, Advertising, And R&D: Implications For Firm Performance, Atanas N. Nikolov

Journal of Global Business Insights

The literature on family firm performance has failed to conclusively link the impact of family influence on the financial market performance of public firms. The goal of this research is to address this gap by considering mechanisms through which founding family influence contributes to superior firm performance relative to non-family firms. This study links family influence in publicly-traded firms with firm performance in terms of both accounting (Return on Assets) and financial market (Buy-and-Hold-Abnormal-Returns) metrics. The findings support the argument that increased advertising and R&D focus in family influenced firms reflects a long-term oriented management strategy, consistent with decreased agency …
