Jesuit B-Schools: Powering Regional Socio-Economic Development And Problem Solving Through Analysis & Application Of Best Global Practices, María Del Pino Ramos, Anatoly Zhuplev, Jose Rincón, María José Vazquez
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Our exploratory research and development (R&D) project is a joint undertaking by two Jesuit institutions, Loyola Marymount University (LMU), U.S.A., and Universidad Loyola Andalucía (ULA), Spain. We aim to leverage collaborative potential of Jesuit B-schools to facilitate regional socio-economic development (RSED) and growth through the analysis and application of best global practices. Many universities have rich intellectual potential and information resources that are often underutilized. Our undertaking strives to engage these resources to foster positive impacts on RSED and problem-solving. The project aligns with Jesuit educational values and aims to redirect the creative power of the young generation from dependency …

Affordances And Information Systems Research: Taking Stock And Moving Forward, Mostafa Mesgari, Kaveh Mohajeri, Bijan Azad
Information Systems and Business Analytics Faculty Works
The term affordance appears with increasing frequency in the Information Systems (IS) literature. Nevertheless, those who study information technologies/information systems (IT/IS) via the affordance lens often have different views about its origin, meaning, and appropriate application in IS research. In turn, not spelling out the related assumptions and boundaries inherent in these diverse views may have hindered a wider and more cumulative adoption of the affordance lens in IS research. This paper offers a potential solution by (1) synthesizing the ecological psychology literature to suggest five key modules of the affordance concept relevant to IS research and (2) taking stock …

Conflating Relevance With Practical Significance And Other Issues: Commentary On Sen, Smith, And Van Note’S “Statistical Significance Versus Practical Importance In Information Systems Research”, Kaveh Mohajeri, Mostafa Mesgari, Allen S. Lee
Conflating Relevance With Practical Significance And Other Issues: Commentary On Sen, Smith, And Van Note’S “Statistical Significance Versus Practical Importance In Information Systems Research”, Kaveh Mohajeri, Mostafa Mesgari, Allen S. Lee
Information Systems and Business Analytics Faculty Works
Expanding on the current debate on the issues of statistical and practical significance in information systems research, where the article by Sen, Smith, and Van Note is a recent contribution, this commentary cautions against conflating relevance with practical significance. We emphasize that relevance is 1) about the real-world usefulness of research findings rather than their impressiveness for the researcher audience, 2) an essential quality of research spanning beyond its findings and not merely limited to statistical studies, and 3) determined by nonacademics rather than academics. We also comment on other aspects of the article by Sen et al., such as …
A Continuance Of Marginal Cost Methodology In Project Change Management, Jose Rincón, Daryl Ono
A Continuance Of Marginal Cost Methodology In Project Change Management, Jose Rincón, Daryl Ono
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
Change management is an inevitable part in the engineering management of engineering projects so effective change management is critical to determine if the proposed changes add economic value to the project. The marginal cost methodology is proposed to effectively manage change and to parse the changes only to those which add economic value. The marginal cost methodology is valuable in engineering decision making and also facilitates statistical analysis in trade studies for applications to future projects.

Future Proof And Real-World Ready: The Role Of Live Project-Based Learning In Students’ Skill Development, Andrew J. Rohm, Matthew Stefl, Noriko Ward
Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works
The rapid pace of technological change taking place today makes it even more important for marketing educators to incorporate relevant technical and higher level meta-skills in their digital marketing courses. We review the pedagogical literature on skill development and project-based learning and detail two live course projects designed to help students develop technical skills related to digital marketing in addition to important meta-skills involving creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. We evaluate the impact of the projects through a direct and indirect assessment process. Findings suggest that live project–based learning can support the development of the technical and meta-skills necessary …

Managing Intrapreneurial Capabilities: An Overview, Sohvi Heaton
Managing Intrapreneurial Capabilities: An Overview, Sohvi Heaton
Management Faculty Works
In recent decades, there has been growing interest in intrapreneurial capabilities. The intrapreneurship and strategic management literatures have insights for entrepreneurs about how to apply entrepreneurial and strategic techniques and concepts in creating competitive advantage. More specifically, the dynamic capabilities framework has emerged as a useful tool for managers to better develop and manage intrapreneurial capabilities. Our essay and the papers in this special issue provide a timely opportunity to assess the rise of intrapreneurship and address organizational and policy implications.
Cognitive And Affective Scarcities And Relational Abundance: Lessons From The Confluence Of Extreme And Chronic Scarcities In Subsistence Marketplaces, Madhu Viswanathan
Cognitive And Affective Scarcities And Relational Abundance: Lessons From The Confluence Of Extreme And Chronic Scarcities In Subsistence Marketplaces, Madhu Viswanathan
Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works
Research on subsistence marketplaces provides a number of insights about extreme and chronic resource scarcity as well as intangible scarcities in cognitive and affective realms. These insights have been developed from a variety of sources—quantitative and qualitative research, as well as education for communities and for students through a symbiotic academic-social enterprise. These insights are juxtaposed with extant work on scarcity in consumer research, to derive implications for future research and stimulate thinking on a broad variety of scarcities. Our holistic deep dive into extreme scarcity and its multiple dimensions from the perspective of consumer behavior has much to offer …
A Criteria-Based Approach To The Traveling Salesman Problem (Tsp), Daryl Ono, Jose Rincón, Althea Thomas
A Criteria-Based Approach To The Traveling Salesman Problem (Tsp), Daryl Ono, Jose Rincón, Althea Thomas
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
The “traveling salesman problem (TSP)” is a classic minimum cost network flow problem in mathematical programming and graph theory that can be formulated in multiple configurations. The fundamental question, however, is: “what is a cost”? The original “traveling salesman problem (TSP)” defines distance as the cost and the objective is to minimize distance traveled. This paper proposes other “cost” criteria to the original problem and also proposes a maximum revenue network flow as a variant to improve managerial decision-making. The proposed decision table methodology can be applied to problems that involve multiple locations or multiple tasks to complete.
Creating Rich And Representative Personas By Discovering Affordances, Mostafa Mesgari, Chitu Okoli, Ana Ortiz De Guinea
Creating Rich And Representative Personas By Discovering Affordances, Mostafa Mesgari, Chitu Okoli, Ana Ortiz De Guinea
Information Systems and Business Analytics Faculty Works
During the last decade, information system designers have used the persona technique to put user needs and preferences at the center of all development decisions. Persona development teams draw on qualitative data, quantitative data or a combination of both to develop personas that are representative of the target users. Despite the benefits of both approaches, qualitative methods are limited by the cognitive capabilities of the experts, whereas quantitative methods lack contextual richness. To gain the advantages of both approaches, this article suggests a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach to create user personas based on the patterns of the affordances they actualize rather …
Critical Review Of Organization-Technology Sensemaking: Towards Technology Materiality, Discovery And Action, Mostafa Mesgari, Chitu Okoli
Critical Review Of Organization-Technology Sensemaking: Towards Technology Materiality, Discovery And Action, Mostafa Mesgari, Chitu Okoli
Information Systems and Business Analytics Faculty Works
More than two decades of sensemaking research has brought thorough knowledge of how people understand organisational phenomena and attach meaning to them. This stream of research explores varied social and cognitive aspects of the process in the context of organisations and information technology (IT). However, such a large body of literature exhibits some significant shortcomings: there is a lack of IT materiality; a neglect of the discovery aspect of perception; and a lack of action orientation. So, there is limited understanding of the role that the material artefact plays in shaping users’ sensemaking of new IT, as well as how …
A Delicate Balance For Innovation: Competition And Collaboration In R&D Consortia, Dong Chen, Li Dai
A Delicate Balance For Innovation: Competition And Collaboration In R&D Consortia, Dong Chen, Li Dai
Management Faculty Works
This study examines how competitive and cooperative relationships within R&D consortia influence member firms' innovation output. We propose a U-shaped relationship between the presence of market competitors for a member firm and the firm's joint R&D output with other consortium members, and examine how the relationship is mediated by interactions with other members at the firm level and moderated by collaborative efforts at the consortium level. Using a unique sample of 320 firms from 52 R&D consortia in China, we find support for our predictions. This multi-level study extends our understanding of competition and cooperation in multi-party networks and provides …

Time For A Marketing Curriculum Overhaul: Developing A Digital-First Approach, Andrew Rohm, Julian Saint Clair
Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works
Academic programs and educators face numerous challenges related to teaching digital marketing. Today, the world of marketing is digital and marketing programs have struggled to maintain pace with the changes influencing marketing practice. The authors describe the M-School program at Loyola Marymount University, a program developed to address this challenge by placing digital marketing at the center of the curriculum. Through experiential learning and project-based learning, M-School courses expose students to real-life challenges involving ways in which companies and organizations generate consumer awareness, demand, and value given the significant digital shifts taking place in technology and consumer behavior. The authors …

They then discuss the what, how, and why for past …
Implementation Of Social Innovations In Subsistence Marketplaces: A Facilitated Institutional Change Process Model, Madhu Viswanathan
Implementation Of Social Innovations In Subsistence Marketplaces: A Facilitated Institutional Change Process Model, Madhu Viswanathan
Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works
Implementation of social innovations in subsistence marketplaces often fails as a result of not bringing about institutional change. In this article, we study the process through which social enterprises facilitate local communities in effecting the process of institutional change as they introduce social innovations. Analyzing rich ethnographic data from 19 social enterprises, we develop the process of “facilitated institutional work” for implementing social innovation. We present a process model for implementing social innovation with four distinct stages involving social enterprises—(1) legitimating themselves within local communities, (2) disrupting aspects of the local institutional environment, (3) helping re-envision institutional norms or practices, …
Strategic Management Of Open Innovation: A Dynamic Capabilities Perspective, Sohvi Heaton
Strategic Management Of Open Innovation: A Dynamic Capabilities Perspective, Sohvi Heaton
Management Faculty Works
Open innovation has become well established as a new imperative for organizing innovation. In line with the increased use in industry, it has also attracted a lot of attention in academia. However, understanding the full benefits and possible limits of open innovation still remains a challenge. We draw on strategic management theory to describe some of these benefits and limits. More specifically, we develop a dynamic capabilities framework as a way to better understand the strategic management of open innovation, which can then help to better explain both success and failure in open innovation. With this background, as guest editors …

Is The Internet Killing Your Creative Potential?, Matt Stefl, Andrew Rohm Phd
Is The Internet Killing Your Creative Potential?, Matt Stefl, Andrew Rohm Phd
Marketing & Business Law Faculty Works
The managers’ capacity for true creativity and deep critical-thinking risks being diminished by our 24/7 connectedness in an information-intensive world. In order to investigate this, the authors devised a simple experiment involving the creation of paper airplanes to gauge whether Google search behavior (serving as a proxy for our direct access to information) encourages or inhibits creativity. Our primary research question examines whether outcomes of design thinking taking place without instant access to information via the Internet would be more or less creative?

What’S Wrong With Peg?, Charles J. Higgins
What’S Wrong With Peg?, Charles J. Higgins
Finance Faculty Works
PEG is a newer investment ratio measure of a security’s PE ratio divided by the firm’s growth rate as a percentage. It is examined and contrasted with other investment valuation measures. PEG is shown to be problematic in terms of its units of measure, in what it purports to appropriately determine, and it is non monotonic for relatively profitable firms and is only slightly indicative of correct security selection for relatively unprofitable firms.

How Do Acquirers Choose Between Mergers And Tender Offers?, David Offenberg, Christo Pirinsky
How Do Acquirers Choose Between Mergers And Tender Offers?, David Offenberg, Christo Pirinsky
Finance Faculty Works
Tender offers provide the advantage of substantially faster completion times than mergers. However, a tender offer signals to the target higher demand for its shares and raises its reservation price. In equilibrium, bidders tradeoff speed and cost. Consistent with this theory, we show that deals in more competitive environments and deals with fewer external impediments on execution are more likely to be structured as tender offers. Tender offers also require higher premiums than mergers. Finally, the rivals of the bidding firm realize significantly lower announcement returns and subsequent operating performance in tender offers than in mergers.

On Maximizing Annualized Option Returns, Charles J. Higgins
On Maximizing Annualized Option Returns, Charles J. Higgins
Finance Faculty Works
While options do generally demonstrate an increase in prices as time increases, an annualized return of their excess premiums exhibit other characteristics including a lower return on options farther out of the money, that as the exercise price is farther out of the money that the expiration with the greatest annualized return is longer in time, and more interestingly that for underlying securities having larger standard deviations the greatest annualized option returns are found with options having shorter expirations.
