Dissertations, Theses and Capstone Projects (Full IR Collection)

In response to increasing demands on firm performance, organizations have attempted to become more consumer and market responsive by adopting industry conventions, such as appointing a chief marketing officer (CMO) to the top management team (TMT). However, scholarly research on the presence or absence of a CMO, and the relationship between the presence of a CMO on the TMT and firm performance is nascent and conflicting. Thus, the purpose of these studies was to address these issues. First, using institutional theory I empirically examined the conditions of firm visibility, firm market power, and industry orientation to predict CMO presence / …

Intent-Based User Segmentation With Query Enhancement, Wei Xiong

Dissertations

With the rapid advancement of the internet, accurate prediction of user's online intent underlying their search queries has received increasing attention from the online advertising community. As a rich source of information on web user's behavior, query logs have been leveraged by advertising companies to deliver personalized advertisements. However, a typical query usually contains very few terms, which only carry a small amount of information about a user's interest. The tendency of users to use short and ambiguous queries makes it difficult to fully describe and distinguish a user's intent. In addition, the query feature space is sparse, as only …

Corporate Performance And Cost Of Capital Differentials Of Firms With Different Organizational Forms, Ibrahim Siraj

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

In chapter 1, I provide evidence against the claim in the conventional literature on corporate diversification discount that the diversification effect is homogeneous across the industries. I argue that the responsiveness of consumer demand to the changing economic conditions or the product demand sensitivity is an important characteristic of the industries that should be considered to have a more complete understanding of the issue of underperformance of diversified firms compared to single-segment firms. Differentiating industries based on the measure of product demand sensitivity, I show that the diversification effects are not to be homogeneous across the industries. Much of the …

Two Essays On Time Perceptions And Patience, Frank May

Theses and Dissertations

My dissertation examines how the properties inherent to time can affect perception of wait time and, consequently, patience. Patience, or the willingness to forgo a smaller reward in the present in order to obtain a larger reward in the future, is an important construct in the consumer behavior literature. I focus on how consumers perceive wait time when faced with an intertemporal choice between a smaller-sooner option and a larger-later one (e.g., receive less money earlier vs. more money later). In this type of situation, wait time is standing between the individual and a better option. I argue that the …
