Faculty Scholarship

Intellectual property is at a crossroads today. As the Commission on Intellectual Property Rights noted in its final report, “[o]ver the last twenty years or so there has been an unprecedented increase in the level, scope, territorial extent and role of IP right protection.” From the rapid privatization and commodification of information to the creation of property rights in bioengineered microorganisms and lifeforms, recent developments in the intellectual property field have sparked major controversies, calling into questions our values, worldviews, and the way society protects and incentivizes human creations and innovations.

Healthy Living In The Pacific Islands: Results Of A Focus Group Process To Identify Perceptions Of Health And Collaboration In The U.S-Affiliated Pacific Islands, Nicky Davison, Randall Workman, Yihe Goh Daida, Rachel Novotny

Journal of Extension

A focus group process was used to gather data on perceptions of health and community collaboration within 6 U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands as part of a process to encourage a community-based participatory approach to addressing community health issues and planning. The focus groups revealed Pacific Islanders' perceptions of health and key local health issues and elements of collaboration. The results were applied to a community-oriented planning process, resulting in the creation of a broad planning framework within which islands could implement their own activities. This approach shows potential for initiating future activities in which communities collaborate in the planning process.

Measuring Marketing Productivity: Current Knowledge And Future Directions, Roland T. Rust, Tim Ambler, Gregory S. Carpenter, V. Kumar, Rajendra Kumar Srivastava

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

For too long, marketers have not been held accountable for showing how marketing expenditures add to shareholder value.

This article proposes a broad framework for assessing marketing productivity, cataloging what is already known, and suggesting areas for further research.
