Mergers And Acquisitions Expert Available To Discuss Kmart, Sears Deal, Deidra Jackson

University of Mississippi News

The news that discount retailer Kmart Holding Corp. is combining with Sears, Roebuck & Co. in an $11-billion deal to create the nation's third largest retailer thundered through Wall Street today. But University of Mississippi marketing professor Chuck Ingene believes the new company, Sears Holdings Corp., won't survive because Kmart and Sears "have little in common."

Entrepreneurial Orientation As A Basis For Classification Within A Service Industry: The Case Of Retail Pharmacy Industry, Thanigavelan Jambulingam, Ravi Kathuria, William R. Doucette Nov 2004

Entrepreneurial Orientation As A Basis For Classification Within A Service Industry: The Case Of Retail Pharmacy Industry, Thanigavelan Jambulingam, Ravi Kathuria, William R. Doucette

Business Faculty Articles and Research

To date, service classification research has primarily taken a macro view, creating service typologies or taxonomies by using dimensions such as customer contact or degree of labor intensity. Such classification schemes, though helpful in deciphering critical management issues and positioning strategies between service industries, tend to treat an entire industry, such as airlines, as a single homogenous entity. However, organizations in the same industry often use intangible resources, such as entrepreneurial orientation processes, to compete with one another. Resource-advantage theory suggests that organizations utilize intangible resources to build long-term strategies and a sustainable competitive advantage leading to superior performance. We …

Combination Of Cdf And D0 Results On The W Boson Mass And Width, Darin Acosta, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration Nov 2004

Combination Of Cdf And D0 Results On The W Boson Mass And Width, Darin Acosta, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

The results based on 1992–95 data (Run 1) from the CDF and D0 experiments on the measurements of the W boson mass and width are presented, along with the combined results. We report a Tevatron collider average MW =80.456±0.059 GeV. We also report the Tevatron collider average of the directly measured W boson width ΓW=2.115±0.105 GeV. We describe a new joint analysis of the direct W mass and width measurements. Assuming the validity of the standard model, we combine the directly measured W boson width with the width extracted from the ratio of W and Z boson …

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams Nov 2004

The French Expatriate Assignment: Helping Accompanying Spouses To Adapt By Assuming The Role Of Anthropologist, Angela Marsha Williams

Theses and Dissertations

A common practice of multinational companies is to temporarily transfer employees to international locations in order to exchange technology, launch new ventures, and facilitate communication within the company. To do this, multinational companies must make a number of decisions regarding their expatriate programs. Even though international companies would rather stay focused on the professional performance of their employees without having to "meddle" in personal and family affairs, recent research has shown that the adaptation of the accompanying spouse is one of the most critical factors in expatriate assignment success or failure. By studying the available literature on expatriate spouse adaptation, …

The Design Of The Edge As Cultural Activity: Towards A Dislocation Of The Greek Logos., Konstantinos Ioannidis Nov 2004

The Design Of The Edge As Cultural Activity: Towards A Dislocation Of The Greek Logos., Konstantinos Ioannidis

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The vital relation between coastline and human emotion has been projected within every possible rhetoric means (from poetry and painting to literature and cinema) but never before had this relation played the most affective role to our behavior than nowadays where cities are determined to return these areas back to citizens and restore all these notions-meanings that have, so violently, been removed from the urban waterfront as a result of the socio-economic changes of the last decades. But in most times this effort is muddied by amateurish attempts at generalization with standardized architectural practices which develop more or less customary …


Urban Design: Not Just 'Delight', But 'Commodity' And 'Firmness' As Well., Ina Klaasen Nov 2004

Urban Design: Not Just 'Delight', But 'Commodity' And 'Firmness' As Well., Ina Klaasen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In 1961, in The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs stated 'A city can not be a work of art'. 40 years later this message has not yet reached most urban designers. Influenced by the discipline of architecture the achievement of experiential value, particularly in cultural and aesthetic respects, guided by personal form concepts, is the central issue. The focus is on final processes with a relatively large temporal grain: the transformation of urban area (counted in years or decades).

Ecological Sustainability Integration In Australian Industrial Design Education., Mariano Ramirez Nov 2004

Ecological Sustainability Integration In Australian Industrial Design Education., Mariano Ramirez

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Industrial designers play a significant role in seeking out alternative solutions to the wasteful lifestyles of contemporary society. But how has the design education community responded to the challenge? Is ecological sustainability now sufficiently integrated within industrial design academic programs? Do studio projects engage students into long-term visioning into the environmental implications of their design outcomes? Does mainstream studio thinking include the minimization of ecological impacts of the products and systems that are created? Are academics and students adequately informed of strategies for ecological product development (ecodesign), and if they are, do they apply those in their design endeavours? Are …


Invisibility Of Design Research In Practice., Sharon Helmer Poggenpohl Nov 2004

Invisibility Of Design Research In Practice., Sharon Helmer Poggenpohl

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Communities of practice that focus on research or professional practice within the same discipline are often distinct and can easily fail to intersect. Each forms its own discourse and protects specific territory. An example of such a separation is research and practice in design. With the growth of graduate programs and particularly Ph.D.s in design, it is reasonable to expect the development of research useful to design and expect an increase in sophisticated performance-in-practice based on research. Or is it? Varieties of research are not only based on different presuppositions, they also function in different ways. Research based on history …


What Is The Future Of Interactive Multi-User Systems?, Mark Palmer Nov 2004

What Is The Future Of Interactive Multi-User Systems?, Mark Palmer

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The research objective concerns the creation of genuine multi-user systems. This work arises from the creation of immersive systems and the philosophical critique of the assumptions made by discourses that seek to understand the digital. Although in philosophical terms this has focused on an immanent rather than transcendent ontology it is also possible to understand this approach through the ‘discoveries’ of complexity theory; concepts through which research can develop practical strategies that can be employed in the creation of these systems.


The Creative Process In Practice Based Design Research., Kaja Tooming Nov 2004

The Creative Process In Practice Based Design Research., Kaja Tooming

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design research, especially practice-based design research is a relatively new field. One of the most important inquiries in this area is how practical experiments can promote and develop theoretical enquiry. In particular, could the artistic or design experiment function as a legitimate "context of discovery" within research so that the practical results of that experimentation are both themselves an integral part of the research and, when analyzed as to their implications, contribute to theory-generation? My aim in this paper is to illuminate the possibility of practice-based design research by means of a concrete example where the experimental production of new …


A Design Approach To Trends And Forecasting., Martyn Evans Nov 2004

A Design Approach To Trends And Forecasting., Martyn Evans

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper engages with the literature, design thinking, theory and practice on trend forecasting. It investigates how designers use trend forecasting in their design process and how they in turn, embody and predict trends through their own engagement with the drivers behind them - social, cultural, technological, economic, political and environmental. Trend forecasting utilises a multi-disciplinary approach drawing upon expertise from outside of the design domain. This includes input from futurologists, trend forecasters, psychologists, technologists, sociologists, and scenario builders as well as designers. The information and insights formed are utilised within the design process, by designers, to inform, validate and …
