Feature Selection In Intrusion Detection Systems: A New Hybrid Fusion Of Bat Algorithm And Residue Number System, Yakub Kayode Saheed, Temitope Olubanjo Kehinde, Mustafa Ayobami Raji, Usman Ahmad Baba

Marketing Faculty Publications

This research introduces innovative approaches to enhance intrusion detection systems (IDSs) by addressing critical challenges in existing methods. Various machine-learning techniques, including nature-inspired metaheuristics, Bayesian algorithms, and swarm intelligence, have been proposed in the past for attribute selection and IDS performance improvement. However, these methods have often fallen short in terms of detection accuracy, detection rate, precision, and F-score. To tackle these issues, the paper presents a novel hybrid feature selection approach combining the Bat metaheuristic algorithm with the Residue Number System (RNS). Initially, the Bat algorithm is utilized to partition training data and eliminate irrelevant attributes. Recognizing the Bat …

Responsibility Boundaries And The Governance Of Global Value Chains: The Interplay Of Efficiency, Ethical, And Institutional Pressures In Global Strategy, Thomas Deberge

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Research Summary

I explore the relationship of firm global strategy and global value chain (GVC) governance, within a context of expanding responsibility boundaries for unethical practices in the value chain. Specifically, focusing on the tantalum supply chain within the digital electronics GVC, I conduct a case-based process study that contextualizes the different strategic responses of three manufacturers of tantalum capacitors when faced with similar efficiency, ethical, and institutional pressures. Integrating the GVC and global strategy literatures, I find that structural inertia in GVCs limits the efficacy of strategies that preserve, rather than alter, the governance structure, instead requiring a strategic …

Consumer Engagement With Self-Driving Cars: A Theory Of Planned Behavior-Informed Perspective, Linda D. Hollebeek, Choukri Menidjel, Omar S. Itani, Moira K. Clark, Valdimar Sigurdsson

Marketing Faculty Publications

Purpose

This study investigates the mediating role of consumer engagement (CE) in the relationship between perceived behavioral control (PBC) and purchase intent and the moderating role of perceived safety in the relationship between PBC and CE in the self-driving car (SDC) context.

Design/methodology/approach

To test the model, a sample of 368 consumers was deployed using partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The findings reveal that consumers' SDC engagement mediates the relationship between PBC and their intent to purchase an SDC. Consumer-perceived SDC safety also moderates the association of PBC/engagement.

Originality/value

While prior research has examined consumer-based drivers of SDC …

The Future Of Last Mile Delivery: What Consumers Are Willing To Sacrifice To Make Sustainable Delivery Decisions, Lauren Lehoullier

Honors Projects in Global Supply Chain Management

The very last step in the supply chain is the final delivery of the good to the customer or consumer. However, the complexity of the geographic dispersion of customers and lack of logistical efficiency in this stage makes it the most expensive and the most polluting to the environment. Furthered by the rise in e-commerce and the rapid changing of our global climate, the future of last-mile delivery rests in the perceptions and behaviors of consumers. This paper aims to identify the current thoughts and feelings of consumers to determine the feasibility of future sustainable last-mile delivery while seeking to …

Is Anti-Herding Always A Smart Choice? Evidence From Mutual Funds, John Byong-Tek Lee, Jun Ma, Dimitris Margaritis, Wanyi Yang

Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics

Recent empirical studies document a negative relation between herding behaviour and the skill of mutual fund managers. We explore this relationship further by focusing on fund managers' contrarian buy and sell behaviour against the market. Our study reveals an asymmetry in the performance of mutual funds with contrarian buy behaviour and contrarian sell behaviour. The contrarian-buy behaviour reflects skill by positively predicting the cross-section of next period's mutual fund returns, while the contrarian-sell behaviour reflects a lack of skill associated with a negative prediction. These findings are robust to various risk-adjusted performance measures. Contrarian-buy funds outperform momentum-buy funds by 3% …

Those of us who have clicked on a phishing scam contribute to losses of over $43 billion in the last five years (according to the FBI). We all have scam stories to share. It’s not a great feeling.
