Exploring Internal And External Supply Chain Linkages: Evidence From The Field, Mark Barratt, Ruth Barratt
Exploring Internal And External Supply Chain Linkages: Evidence From The Field, Mark Barratt, Ruth Barratt
Management Faculty Research and Publications
In their pursuit of improved operational performance, organizations in supply chains have sought to develop external information-based linkages with their customers and vendors. Has this course of action been at the expense of developing similar internal information-based linkages? This research explores the specific roles of internal and external information-based linkages in achieving improved operational performance. Based on a single case study that comprises a supply chain containing twenty-four internal and fourteen external linkages this research develops a series of propositions. We find that the individual internal linkages may be useful for extending externally derived visibility, and for addressing to some …
Managing Uncertainty: Lessons From Xenophon's Retreat, David R. King
Managing Uncertainty: Lessons From Xenophon's Retreat, David R. King
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Propositions on dynamic capabilities and organizational politics are developed from management literature and are then evaluated using case analysis. The goal is to identify complementary aspects of these perspectives to change from an ancient example that can offer insights for management thought and practice today. Initially chronicled by Xenophon, roughly 10,000 Greek mercenaries spent over two years confronting demanding circumstances as they fought their way into and out of ancient Persia. The mercenaries' response to changing circumstances offers a unique case for integrating literature on responses to uncertainty that range between rational and haphazard explanations. The analysis suggests uncertainty management …
Security Assurance: How Online Service Providers Can Influence Security Control Perceptions And Gain Trust, Soumya Ray, Terence T. Ow, Sung S. Kim
Security Assurance: How Online Service Providers Can Influence Security Control Perceptions And Gain Trust, Soumya Ray, Terence T. Ow, Sung S. Kim
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Security researchers agree that security control is a difficult to observe credence quality of online services that Internet users cannot easily assess through research or experience. Yet there is evidence that users form perceptions of security control that strongly determine how much trust they put in online services. This study investigates whether users’ security control perceptions arise solely from their predispositions or whether online service providers can influence them. The study also examines whether these seemingly undependable perceptions of security control lead to trust or whether more traditional factors might offer a better explanation of trust under security risks. To …

Putting Off Tomorrow To Do What You Want Today: Planning For Retirement, Gary A. Adams, Barbara L. Rau
Putting Off Tomorrow To Do What You Want Today: Planning For Retirement, Gary A. Adams, Barbara L. Rau
Management Faculty Research and Publications
In this article we note that in the coming years, a larger number of people will be experiencing retirement for a longer period of time than ever before and that despite this fact, many will find themselves unprepared for this stage of their lives. We review the literature on retirement preparation, structuring our review around the key questions that need to be addressed when planning for retirement: (a) What will I do? (b) How will I afford it? (c) Where will I live? and (d) Who will I share it with? We make a number of suggestions for research and …
Qualitative Case Studies In Operations Management: Trends, Research Outcomes, And Future Research Implications, Mark Barratt, Thomas Choi, Mei Li
Qualitative Case Studies In Operations Management: Trends, Research Outcomes, And Future Research Implications, Mark Barratt, Thomas Choi, Mei Li
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Our study examines the state of qualitative case studies in operations management. Five main operations management journals are included for their impact on the field. They are in alphabetical order: Decision Sciences, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Operations Management, Management Science, and Production and Operations Management. The qualitative case studies chosen were published between 1992 and 2007. With an increasing trend toward using more qualitative case studies, there have been meaningful and significant contributions to the field of operations management, especially in the area of theory building. However, in many of the qualitative case studies …
The Interface Of Work To Family Conflict And Racioethnic Identification: An Analysis Of Hispanic Business Professionals, Robert Gregory Delcampo, Kristie M. Rogers, Andrew T. Hinrichs
The Interface Of Work To Family Conflict And Racioethnic Identification: An Analysis Of Hispanic Business Professionals, Robert Gregory Delcampo, Kristie M. Rogers, Andrew T. Hinrichs
Management Faculty Research and Publications
This article examines work to family conflict for Hispanic Business Professionals with varied levels of Hispanic identity. Based on this study of 971 Hispanics from across the United States, results show that level of Hispanic identity moderates the relationship between work to family conflict and job satisfaction. The authors posit that identification with a culture of collectivism may attenuate the negative impact of work to family conflict on job satisfaction, enabling Hispanic professionals to view work as a way of supporting the family and contributing to the greater good of the groups to which they belong.
The Antecedents Of A ‘Chilly Climate’ For Women Faculty In Higher Education, Cheryl Maranto, Andrea Griffin
The Antecedents Of A ‘Chilly Climate’ For Women Faculty In Higher Education, Cheryl Maranto, Andrea Griffin
Management Faculty Research and Publications
The literature on women’s under-representation in academia asserts that faculty women face a ‘chilly climate’, but there are few theoretically based studies examining this proposition. Relational demography, organizational justice, and social network theories all identify possible antecedents of ‘chilly climate’. Using survey data of faculty at a private Midwestern US university, we test whether the perception of exclusion (chilly climate) is influenced by demographic dissimilarity, and perceptions of fairness and gender equity. We find that faculty women perceive more exclusion from academic departments with a low representation of women, consistent with relational demography. Perceptions of procedural fairness and gender equity …
The Prospects For Family Business In Research Universities, Alex Stewart, Anne S. Miner
The Prospects For Family Business In Research Universities, Alex Stewart, Anne S. Miner
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Family business shows the promise of becoming a respected scholarly field in research universities. However, success is not a given. We inquire about its prospects, with reference to the sociology of science. A key requirement for success that has been met is identification with an important and distinctive domain of inquiry. This domain is at the intersection two phenomena - of kinship and business - but more attention has been paid to enterprise than to kinship. We suggest that this creates important windows for theoretical development, an important requirement for a core presence in research universities. We further suggest additional …
Can Extended Exposure To New Technology Undermine Its Acceptance? Evidence From System Trials Of An Enterprise Implementation, Monica Adya, Maureen Francis Mascha
Can Extended Exposure To New Technology Undermine Its Acceptance? Evidence From System Trials Of An Enterprise Implementation, Monica Adya, Maureen Francis Mascha
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Despite significant attention given to effects of early exposure on acceptance and adoption of new systems, there continues to be ambiguity regarding its effectiveness beyond a threshold. For organizations concerned with optimal utilization of IT resources, a deeper understanding of ideal levels of early system exposure can result in greater realization of benefits through enhanced design of system training and mitigation of adverse effects of exposure on adoption. In this article, we propose that the relationship between system exposure and acceptance can demonstrate diminishing gains—as early exposure to a system increases beyond a reasonable level, its acceptance declines. Preliminary findings …
Information Systems Skills Differences Between High-Wage And Low-Wage Regions: Implications For Global Sourcing, Kate Kaiser
Information Systems Skills Differences Between High-Wage And Low-Wage Regions: Implications For Global Sourcing, Kate Kaiser
Management Faculty Research and Publications
Developing Information Systems (IS) skills for a company’s workforce has always been challenging, but global sourcing growth has caused the determination of needed IS skills to be more complex. The increased use of outsourcing to an IS service provider and from high-wage regions to low-wage regions has affected what IS skills are required globally and how to distribute the workforce to meet these needs. To understand what skills are needed in locations that seek and those that provide outsourcing, we surveyed IS service provider managers in global locations. Results from 126 reporting units provide empirical evidence that provider units in …
Industry Implications Of Value Creation And Appropriation Investment Decisions, David R. King, Rebecca J. Slotegraaf
Industry Implications Of Value Creation And Appropriation Investment Decisions, David R. King, Rebecca J. Slotegraaf
Management Faculty Research and Publications
As managers weigh their resource investment decisions, we argue that these investments have a direct impact on the growth and volatility of the firm’s industry. With data covering 377 industries across 16 years, we investigate relationships for aggregate firm investments on the growth and volatility of industry profit and sales. Results reveal important, complex relationships between investment in value creation and appropriation and different elements of the industry environment.
