Understanding The Ecosystems Of Chinese And American Entrepreneurship Education, Chien Wen Yu
Understanding The Ecosystems Of Chinese And American Entrepreneurship Education, Chien Wen Yu
Management Faculty Publications
Since the 1980s, entrepreneurship education in the United States has become increasingly popular. The system of entrepreneurship education in the United States is characterized by relatively scientific and systemic teaching and research. The concept of ecosystems, which comes from the natural sciences, is increasingly applied to regional development and focused on inter-organizational relationships. One way to assess the ecosystems of entrepreneurship education is to consider all components of the whole – the business model, teaching philosophy, curriculum, teaching content, teacher training, infrastructure, culture, network and practices of each country. A useful tool for understanding these interrelationships is the Triple Helix …
On Being Social: How Social Identity Impacts Social Commerce For The Millennial Shopper, Stephanie Jacobsen, Nora Ganim Barnes
On Being Social: How Social Identity Impacts Social Commerce For The Millennial Shopper, Stephanie Jacobsen, Nora Ganim Barnes
Management Faculty Publications
Millennials are a technologically sophisticated generation, who have the purchasing power to change the face of retailing. A significant proportion of their shopping is done online and they utilize their social networks while engaging in the shopping process- a current area of interest termed “social commerce.” No single group is better positioned to take advantage of social commerce, and yet, it’s possible that Millennials are participating in social networks and online shopping in order to better define their social identities. This study summarizes data from three years of longitudinal research into the use of social media by Millennials on three …
A Study Of The Impacts Of The Panama Canal Expansion On The U.S. Northeast Ports And Strategy Of The Port Of Boston, Chien Wen Yu
A Study Of The Impacts Of The Panama Canal Expansion On The U.S. Northeast Ports And Strategy Of The Port Of Boston, Chien Wen Yu
Management Faculty Publications
When it is completed in 2016, the Panama Canal expansion will increase the trade volume and route from Asia to the United States as well as the competition amongst all U.S. ports, creating economic impacts in several areas. East Coast ports will be affected the most due to investments in harbor expansion projects and rise in cargo traffic and imports. The expansion will provide access for the Post-Panamax ships to the East Coast ports. These ships can increase cargo size from 5,000 up to 13,000 TEU’s (twenty-foot equivalent unit). It is estimated that 20-25% of import traffic will shift to …
Racial Differences In Job Attribute Preferences: The Role Of Ethnic Identity And Self-Efficacy, Jakari N. Griffith, Gwendolyn M. Combs
Racial Differences In Job Attribute Preferences: The Role Of Ethnic Identity And Self-Efficacy, Jakari N. Griffith, Gwendolyn M. Combs
Management Faculty Publications
Using a sample of 149 white and 190 black business students, the authors examined racial differences in job attribute preferences. Results of this study indicate there were significant racial differences in 19 of 21 job attributes examined, with black students placing greater importance on job attributes than white students. Investigation of the mechanisms contributing to this difference reveals that the relationship between race and job attribute preferences was mediated by ethnic identity. Furthermore, the relationship between ethnic identity and job attributes was moderated by personal efficacy, with higher self-efficacy levels leading to greater importance placed on job attributes.

Cleaning Data Helps Clean The Air, Kelley Donalds, Xiangrong Liu
Management Faculty Publications
In this project, students use a real-world, complex database and experience firsthand the consequences of inadequate data modeling. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created the database as part of a multimillion dollar data collection effort undertaken in order to set limits on air pollutants from electric power plants. First, students explore the database to identify design limitations from the perspective of a data analyst with a specific goal. Second, students create a new database design which overcomes identified problems. Through this case study, students develop the skill to infer usage implications by studying the design of an existing database. This …
Entrepreneurship: The Key To Global Competitiveness, Jon L. Bryan
Entrepreneurship: The Key To Global Competitiveness, Jon L. Bryan
Management Faculty Publications
For more than a decade, the United States has lost manufacturing employment to low wage nations such as China and others on the Pacific Rim. While the Western industrialized nations can no longer compete in many of the lower skilled manufacturing sectors, they have maintained their status as incubators of new ideas and products. While a lack of access to financing has often been viewed as a key reason for a reduced level of new business starts in the West, public policy, and how it is perceived by the entrepreneurial community, can be an even larger obstacle to growth in …
The Impact Of Government Policy On Economic Growth, Jon L. Bryan
The Impact Of Government Policy On Economic Growth, Jon L. Bryan
Management Faculty Publications
Government policy has always had a significant influence on economic growth and new business formation. During the past two decades, policy uncertainty has grown in the United States as the polarization of the electorate has intensified. The stark political differences are increasingly on display by elected officials in Washington. The recent political brinksmanship surrounding the so-called “Fiscal Cliff” is one example of the costly policy uncertainty facing U.S. businesses that is now endemic in Washington. While much of the focus of the Fiscal Cliff debate was on the constituents who would lose benefits or see their taxes increase, there was …
Fdi In Vietnam: An Empirical Study Of An Economy In Transition, Christian Delaunay, C. Richard Torrisi
Fdi In Vietnam: An Empirical Study Of An Economy In Transition, Christian Delaunay, C. Richard Torrisi
Management Faculty Publications
Vietnam has emerged as an alternative smaller emerging economy market for FDI in the last five years, attracting both domestic market seeking and export oriented FDI. Vietnam continues to attract significant East Asian and OECD investors. This paper analyses the economic determinants of FDI for a smaller Non-BRIC emerging country, undergoing a rapid transition to a market driven economy in a region of great competitiveness among host countries and growing attractiveness to major source countries. The regression models presented in this paper show that while macro-economic variables such as GDP and to a lesser extent labor costs were predictably significant …
Diaspora Knowledge Flows In The Global Economy, Martin Grossman
Diaspora Knowledge Flows In The Global Economy, Martin Grossman
Management Faculty Publications
Globalization has fostered greater rates of mobility and an increasing reliance on transnational networks for commerce, social interaction, and the transfer of knowledge. This is particularly true among diaspora groups who have left their homelands in search of better economic and political environments. Unlike those of the past, today’s migrants stay connected via information and communications technology (ICT). Digital diaspora networks have the potential to reverse brain drain (the flight of human capital resulting from emigration) by facilitating knowledge sharing and technology transfer between the diaspora and the homeland. This paper explores the role that ICT-enabled diasporic networks are playing …

The Emerging Academic Discipline Of Knowledge Management, Martin Grossman
The Emerging Academic Discipline Of Knowledge Management, Martin Grossman
Management Faculty Publications
Although knowledge management (KM) has gained worldwide recognition as an important strategic imperative, its integration into academia has lagged. A review of the literature, as well as an examination of information systems (IS) curriculum models, was performed to determine how KM related courses are being integrated. The analysis revealed that KM is still not considered appropriate as an integral component of the undergraduate IS curriculum; rather it is more prevalent in optional courses or those covering advanced topics, and integrated into the curriculum at the graduate level. The sluggish adoption of KM into mainstream academia is countered by an increasing …
