Microfinance: A Comprehensive Review Of The Existing Literature, James C. Brau, Gary M. Woller Jan 2004

Microfinance: A Comprehensive Review Of The Existing Literature, James C. Brau, Gary M. Woller

Faculty Publications

Although the word finance is in the term microfinance, and the core elements of microfinance are those of the finance discipline, microfinance has yet to break into the mainstream or entrepreneurial finance literature. The purpose of this article is to introduce the finance academic community to the discipline of microfinance and microfinance institutions (MFIs). We provide a comprehensive review of over 350 articles and address the issues of MFI sustainability, products and services, management practices, clientele targeting, regulation and policy, and impact assessment.

Do Venture Capitalists Add Value To Small Manufacturing Firms? An Empirical Analysis Of Venture And Nonventure Capital-Backed Initial Public Offerings, James C. Brau, Richard A. Brown, Jerome S. Osteryoung Jan 2004

Do Venture Capitalists Add Value To Small Manufacturing Firms? An Empirical Analysis Of Venture And Nonventure Capital-Backed Initial Public Offerings, James C. Brau, Richard A. Brown, Jerome S. Osteryoung

Faculty Publications

We examine a set of small, venture capital (VC)-backed manufacturing firms and compare it to a control sample of nonVC-backed manufacturing firms going public between 1990 and 1996. We use the degree of underpricing, three-year sales growth, three-year cumulative stock return, and three-year survivability as measures of success. First, we test if the presence of VC backing results in significant differences in success between the two samples. Next, we test if certain VC and deal characteristics are discriminators within the VC-backed sample of firms. Despite previous literature, which argues for either inferior or superior VC post-initial public offering (IPO) performance, …

Studying Scholarly Communication: Can Commons Research And The Iad Framework Help Illuminate Complex Dilemmas?, Charlotte Hess, Elinor Ostrom Jan 2004

Studying Scholarly Communication: Can Commons Research And The Iad Framework Help Illuminate Complex Dilemmas?, Charlotte Hess, Elinor Ostrom

Librarian Publications

"This paper presents a framework for analyzing the complex resource of scholarly communication as a commons. Previously we have argued that the dilemmas associated with managing shared information are quite similar to those associated with managing natural and human-constructed common-pool resources (CPRs), where we can observe how the development of new technologies has changed the structure and processes involved in managing these types of resources over time. We concluded that collective action and institutional design play key roles in shaping economic and social aspects of information. "However, applying insights from the CPR literature on physical resource management to information management …

Thermodynamic Consequences Of Dna Base Modifications And Ligand-Dna Interactions., Rachel Hutchins Graves Jan 2004

Thermodynamic Consequences Of Dna Base Modifications And Ligand-Dna Interactions., Rachel Hutchins Graves

All ETDs from UAB

The thermodynamic effects of alterations of the DNA duplex by DNA base modifications or ligand binding are investigated by a combination of spectrophotometric and calorimetric methods. Examination of the effects of substituent modification on the DNA binding energetics of the anticancer agent AAC (Y-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide) indicated that DNA binding affinities and energetics were enhanced upon substitution at the C5 position on the chromophore of the drug with a variety of chemical groups. A correlation between enthalpies of DNA binding and anticancer activity was evident.The impacts of DNA base modifications, including cytosine arabinoside, deaminated cytosine, and abasic sites, on the thermodynamics of …

Ethical Reasoning In Capstone Students, Lynn Clark Callister, Patricia K. Ravert, Eva Stoneman, Geraldine Matsumura Jan 2004

Ethical Reasoning In Capstone Students, Lynn Clark Callister, Patricia K. Ravert, Eva Stoneman, Geraldine Matsumura

Faculty Publications

Complex ethical issues characterize current healthcare environments. Nurse educators have been charged in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Nursing Practice document with the responsibility to provide baccalaureate graduates with the knowledge and skills to apply ethical decision-making frameworks to clinical practice. However, there is a paucity of literature on ethical reasoning in nursing students. The purpose of this paper is to describe ethical reasoning in capstone students in an integrated baccalaureate nursing program. Themes identified from clinical journal entries include integration of ethics into both personal and professional life, strengthened commitment to …
