Top Management Team Functional Diversity And Firm Performance: A Mediation Analysis, Tsung Hsuan Yang
Top Management Team Functional Diversity And Firm Performance: A Mediation Analysis, Tsung Hsuan Yang
Accounting Dissertations
In my dissertation, I study whether the top management team (TMT) between-member and within-member functional diversities affect firm performance. Between-member functional diversity, known as Dominant Functional Diversity (DFD), refers to the heterogeneity of functional experts on a TMT, and within-member functional diversity, known as Intrapersonal Functional Diversity (IFD), refers to the aggregate functional breadth of TMT members. My analysis indicates that IFD is positively and significantly associated with firm performance. The relationship between DFD and firm performance is also positive but not statistically significant. In the second analysis, I perform a mediation analysis to explore plausible mechanisms through which TMT …
The Role Internal Stakeholders Play In Innovation In Large Corporations, Heloisa Benevides Pontes Aragao
The Role Internal Stakeholders Play In Innovation In Large Corporations, Heloisa Benevides Pontes Aragao
Management Dissertations
Despite the vast existing literature on innovation, the investigation of work conditions that support the generation of ideas to feed the innovative process remains elusive. Holding the assumption that the entire organization is responsible for innovation, not only a specific department or set of experts, I aim to investigate the role two internal stakeholders play in innovation – employees and CEO. I empirically examine the relationship between voice climate – or the workforce perception about its participation in current discussions with ideas, suggestions, and thoughts - and explorative and exploitative innovation. Further, I consider the impact of CEO attributes (origin …
Dynamic Control Systems, Yi Zheng
Dynamic Control Systems, Yi Zheng
Marketing Dissertations
As a fundamental managerial tool for sales management, sales controls have received researchers’ attention for a long time. However, current research on sales controls has mainly adopted a static perspective to examine the roles of sales controls. To overcome this limitation, I propose a new construct, dynamic sales control systems, to extend the static research on sales controls to a dynamic perspective. This dissertation includes two papers. Paper 1 focuses on dynamic control systems’ antecedents and boundary conditions and their impacts on sales team performance. In Paper 2, I have investigated the mediating mechanisms between dynamic control systems and sales …

This study presents a comprehensive research framework that integrates IT investments, environmental uncertainty, and organizational performance. The study utilizes a mixed-methods methodology, integrating quantitative analysis of secondary …

The Relationship Between Sustainable Supply Chain Management Controversies, Sustainability Practices, And Firm Performance: The Role Of Different Organizational Resources And Environmental Turbulence, Amir Naderpour
Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations
This dissertation explores the relationship between sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) controversies and sustainability practices, and their direct and indirect effects on firm performance. SSCM controversies refer to the conflicts between companies and stakeholders due to the negative impact of the company's activities on different pillars of sustainability throughout the supply chain. I study the direct relationship between SSCM controversies - measured by indicators in the Sustainalytics database (Tamayo-Torres et al., 2019) – and future sustainability practices. Using resource-based view, and the influence of investments in other resources on this relationship, I posit that the relationship between SSCM controversies and …
