Rethinking Virtuality And Its Impact On Teams, Mary Foster, Augustus Abbey, Michael Callow, Xingxing Xingxing Zu, Anthony Wilbon
Anthony Wilbon
We propose an extension of the Hollenbeck, Beersma, and Schouten team context model to include a fourth dimension: virtuality—the distance between team members. Based on an analysis of 29 unique approaches to conceptualizing virtuality and a critical comparison of these approaches with the Hollenbeck et al. framework, we recommend that virtuality be measured, along with skill differentiation, authority differentiation, and temporal stability when conducting team research. We conclude that the addition of this redefined construct, virtuality, is warranted based on the following: (a) its uniqueness versus the other dimensions, (b) its impact on team outcomes, and (c) the moderating or …

Technology Strategy And Organizational Learning: Applying Population Ecology To Understanding The Influence On Firm Survival, Anthony Wilbon
Anthony Wilbon
A comprehensive technology strategy is recognized as an important tool for managing a competitive organization. In today's fast evolving, and often volatile, business environments learning organizations must develop strategies to effectively manage their technology resources through a continual evaluation of their processes. Drawing from the technology strategy, organizational learning, and population ecology theory, this paper synthesizes the micro and macro dimensions and proposes that implementation of a multidimentional technology strategy has a direct impact on firm survival. Implications as it relates to for future longitudinal research and management practices are also explored.

Socio-Demographic Differences Of Black Versus White Entrepreneurs, Micah Crump, Robert Singh, Anthony Wilbon
Anthony Wilbon
The shift in economic trends and technology has spurred an increase in entrepreneurship in recent years. However, the success of these businesses is not evenly distributed across race, gender, and other socio-cultural attributes. In fact, much of the research suggests unique sociodemographic differences between black and white entrepreneurs. This study compares some outcomes and attributes of black and white entrepreneurs and investigates non-financial variables that contribute to their success. The research found significant differences in age, years of education, number of hours worked, and socioeconomic status among other factors within and across white and black entrepreneur groups. The findings suggest …

Anthony Wilbon
Small to medium sized technology firms significantly impact the national and world economy and it is paramount that the best-managed firms have long term success. Empirical analysis must determine the competitive posture that will enhance performance and increase success rates for this population.

Content analysis of the IPO prospectus provides the source of data for the variables. The research supports the hypotheses that pioneering competitive posture outperform others in the population.

No Titleshrinking The Digital Divide: The Moderating Role Of Technology Environments, Anthony Wilbon
Anthony Wilbon
A fully integrated digital world has become a reality, and all segments of society must embrace it in order to be contributing partners to future success in the US. As the use of information technology (IT) has grown, the demand for workers with technical skills has also increased dramatically. Yet the supply of these workers has not kept pace. One reason for this supply-demand disparity is the insufficient number of women and minorities entering engineering and science-related fields. This is disturbing given that these two groups are the fastest growing segment of the US population. Empirical research is needed to …

Anthony Wilbon
This research investigates the influence of technology strategy on perceived initial public offering (IPO) performance, post-IPO enterprise performance, and long term survival in high technology firms. The research model integrates theories of strategic management, technology management, and population ecology to present an interrelated view of technology strategy's impact on performance and survival. A synthesis of the literature resulted in eight technology strategy dimensions that are examined: (1) technology posture; (2) intellectual property rights; (3) sourcing of technology; (4) technology portfolio; (5) scope of research and development; (6) technology executives; (7) R&D spending, and; (8) geographical focus.
