Strategjia E Organizatës E Bazuar Në Sistem Të Vlerave, Albanë Tasholli

Theses and Dissertations

Menaxhimi efektiv strategjik i kulturës organizative është i kushtëzuar nga një hartë të vlerave dhe mjediseve etike, të cilat janë elementët dinamikë të kulturës organizative. Prandaj, strategjitë për ruajtjen, përforcimin dhe ndryshimin e kulturës duhet të përqendrohen në sistemin e vlerave të organizatës. Një kuptim i vlerave dhe marrëdhënia e tij me elementë të tjerë të sistemit psikologjik të një individi, siç janë besimet, qëllimet, qëndrimet, etika dhe sjellja, na jep një kornizë për vlerësimin e dinamikës së saj në kulturën organizative. Vlerat brenda kulturës së organizatës ndikojnë në perceptimin e situatave dhe problemeve, të gjithë procesin e zgjedhjes në …

Analiza E Faktorëve Ndikues Në Internacionalizimin E Ndërmarrjeve, Afërdita Berisha

Theses and Dissertations

Globalizimi ka krijuar mundësi të panumërta për ndërkombëtarizimin e një game të gjerë shërbimesh. Risitë e fundit teknologjike të lidhura me uljen ose eliminimin e barrierave tregtare, rezultuan në një zgjerim eksponencial të firmave të shërbimeve. Ky punim analizon faktorët e brendshëm dhe të jashtëm që ndikojnë në vendimin për të operuar ndërkombëtarisht. Analiza multivariane përdoret për të përcaktuar përcaktuesit kryesorë të ndërkombëtarizimit në këto firma. Gjetjet tregojnë se arsyet kryesore që mbështesin ndërkombëtarizimin e këtyre firmave të shërbimit janë madhësia e firmës, mjedisi konkurrues dhe shkalla e përvojës ndërkombëtare të stafit. Këta faktorë, të cilët ndikojnë në qëndrimet e …

Ndikimi I Të Hyrave Për Kokë Banori (Gdp Per Capita) Në Lumturi: Analizë Ekonometrike E Rastit Të Kosovës, Anila Radoniqi

Theses and Dissertations

Ky hulumtim shkencor është mbështetur në Raportin Botëror të Lumturisë, dhe shumica e të dhënave janë marrë nga ky raport. Variablat e përdorura për t’i shpjeguar arsyjet e arritjes së satisfaksionit, mirëqenies dhe lumturisë në jetë janë: të hyrat për kokë banori, mbështetja sociale, pritshmëritë e një jete të shëndetshme, liria për vendimarrje, sjellja bujare dhe niveli i ulët i korrupsionit në vend.

Punimi aktual fokusohet dhe argumenton se GDP për kokë banori është larg një treguesi të duhur të mirëqenies njerëzore, dhe se përdorimi i saj i papërshtatshëm mund të rezultojë në vendime të gabuara të politikave. Punimi ekzaminon …

Menaxhimi I Procesit Të Transformimit Në Industrinë E Mishit Calabria “Natura”, Gjilan, Biona Selimi

Theses and Dissertations

Në ditët e stome, pjesa e të bërit biznes është bërë mjaftë sfiduese dhe e vështirë për shkaqe të shumta, ku rol më të madh në rrezikimin e mbijetesës së firmave kanë zhvillimet e hovshme teknologjike në proceset e prodhimit, rrjedhimisht edhe të menaxhimit të këtyre proceseve.

Analysis Of Credit Enhancement Of Financing Guarantee Company, Tiewei Zhang

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

In China, the financing problem of SMEs has been concerned for a long time, but it has not been effectively solved. At present, the development of financing guarantee companies (FGCs) providing credit enhancement services for SMEs is facing severe challenges. Essentially, financing guarantee is a special kind of creditor’s right (debt investor’s rights). The essence of creditor's right is the seller position of put options. Because the return-risk structure of creditor's right is seriously asymmetric, debt investors should follow the prudent and conservative operating principle. The "5Ws" principle or "5Cs" principle of bank loan business is the embodiment of this …

In recent years in China, with the rapid development of China’s economy, the acceleration of urbanization, the extension of city size and the rapid growth of urban population, living conditions, traffic and environment in the cities are getting worse and worse. Under this background, urban complex integrating a series of functions like “living, business, office, tourism, culture and entertainment etc” has become popular with the urban administrators and developers in many cities. According to relevant statistics, by the end of 2015, there had been more than 2000 urban complexes (including the ones which have been completed, the ones which are …

Cost Stickiness And Supply Chain Bargaining Power, Binghao (Jimmy) Zhao

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Given the essential role of supply chains in the economy, furthering our understanding of the interactions between trade partners is important. In this paper, I study the relation between cost stickiness and bargaining power over supply chain partners. I document evidence consistent with the argument that firms wield supply chain bargaining power to avoid cost stickiness by shifting high adjustment costs onto their trade partners. In particular, I show that the level of SG&A and COGS stickiness is negatively associated with firms’ bargaining power over their suppliers and customers. My results are robust to using industry competition as an alternative …

Runaway: A History Of Postwar New York In Four Factories, Andy Battle

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

At midcentury, New York City was among the preeminent manufacturing centers in the United States. Within a generation, this manufacturing economy suffered an extraordinary collapse. Beginning in the 1950s, workers and their unions began to use the term “runaway” to describe factories that pulled up stakes in New York and set them back down in other climes. This dissertation explores the deindustrialization of New York City through case studies of “runaway” plants, or factories that left New York for the American South or abroad between the years 1945 and 1975.

In general, the manufacturers that remained in New York at …

The Superstitious Heuristic In Strategic Decision-Making, Jing Liu

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation focuses on an important but largely ignored phenomenon in the strategic decision literature which I refer to as the use of superstitious heuristics in strategic decision-making. I define the superstitious heuristic as a decision shortcut based on one’s beliefs in the existence of forces or essences that transcend the boundary between the mental/symbolic and physical/material realities in a way that is unsupported by contemporary science. The use ofsuperstitious heuristics in strategic decision-making is prevalent in major economies and influences firms’ strategic behaviors and performance. In this dissertation, I first explored the concept of the superstitious heuristic and …

Externalities Of Cds Trading: The Effect On Industry Peer Firms’ Cost Of Debt, Sunqian Ren

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This paper documents externalities associated with the introduction of credit default swaps (CDS) in the corporate bond market. I find that firms without traded CDS contracts (non-CDS firms) experience lower cost of debt when there are more peer firms with traded CDS contracts (CDS firms). This effect is stronger when non-CDS firms are more closely related to a CDS-firm and when the outstanding CDS contracts are more liquid. My findings are consistent with the view that CDS trading provides hedging opportunities and information for bond investors of non-CDS firms. This study provides evidence that CDS trading on peer firms has …

The Impact Of Local Broadband Coverage On U.S. Firms’ Information Environment, Zhiyuan Tu

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study investigates the impact of local broadband coverage on the information environment of firms located in the United States. I hypothesize that more intensive local broadband coverage improves the overall quality of a firm’s information environment by allowing more locally generated firm-specific news to be more broadly disseminated via the Internet. I use the Federal Communication Commission (FCC)’s form 477 data to measure the intensity of local broadband coverage. I find that more intensive local broadband coverage near a firm is associated with a firm having smaller earnings surprises, and lower abnormal information asymmetry around quarterly earnings announcements. These …

New Factor Structure Models And Idiosyncratic Volatility, Ossama Elhadary

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

In this dissertation, I propose new factor structures that are based on the Fama-French style factors but include additional locations like the industry groups and the exchanges where the stocks are traded. I show that the stock returns are clustered around the industry groups and the exchanges. Idiosyncratic volatility calculated using the new factor structure models tend to be smaller than those calculated using the traditional Fama-French model. By sorting portfolios using the idiosyncratic volatility computed using the new factor models, a trader can gain larger profits compared to sorting the portfolio using the traditionally calculated idiosyncratic volatility.

Place-Making By Black And Latinx Students In Predominantly White Institutions: Participatory Design And Meaning Making Through A Social Enterprise, Joshua P.H. Livingston

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Black and Latinx male retention in post-secondary institutions, particularly predominantly white institutions (PWI), remains a critical social problem. Even though many PWIs set up structures to welcome and support Black and Latinx males, those structures are defined and created through dominant cultural norms. They have been challenged to mitigate the individualized facets of disengagement. A social innovation, proof of concept model was conceptualized, designed, and developed alongside Black and Latinx males in college. Social innovation is defined as a new way of approaching long standing and complex problems. Proof of concept (PoC) helps to validate that processes and designs are …

Essays On New Keynesian Term Premium Model With Financial Risks, Weiguo Fu

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation studies the modeling of U.S. Treasury (UST) yield curve term premia under the New Keynesian (NK) framework. Loosely speaking, term premium is the difference between a government bond’s yield for a specific tenor and the average of the expected short rates up to that tenor. The dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first chapter proposes a New Keynesianism-based macro-finance model estimated by a one-step full information maximum likelihood (FIML) method. The second chapter shows that the one-step FIML method may produce estimation biases, which result in biased expected short rates and term premia. The chapter then presents …

Applied Deep Learning In Intelligent Transportation Systems And Embedding Exploration, Xiaoyuan Liang

Dissertations

Deep learning techniques have achieved tremendous success in many real applications in recent years and show their great potential in many areas including transportation.

This dissertation focuses on solving the following fundamental problems: (1) passenger demand prediction, (2) transportation mode detection, (3) traffic light control, in the transportation field using deep learning. The dissertation also extends the application of deep learning to an embedding system for visualization …

The Art Of The Rebrand: Utilizing Strategic Communications To Obtain Employee Buy-In During A Rebrand, Samantha Azizo

Student Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to identify how organizations can effectively communicate with employees during a rebrand in order to obtain their acceptance of the changes, otherwise known as employee buy-in. Prior research has found that employee acceptance of a rebrand is a contributing factor towards a successful rebrand; however, prior research fails to determine how the rebrand can be best communicated to employees to obtain their buy-in. The research performed for the study took place in two parts. First, 142 online surveys probing employee and consumer perception about rebranding were performed. Secondly, three semi-structured interviews with professionals who …

A Study Of The Green Paradox In Dynamic Oligopolies : Theories And Merger Control Policy, Aida Ospanova

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

Aiming to reduce the environmental damage and to ensure the energy security, more and more attention has been paid to the development of the renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar, biofuels, etc. Indeed, as expected by the World Bank, World Energy Outlook 2017, the demand for fossil fuel, especially for the coal, would gradually decrease by 2040.

However, the non-renewable producers anticipating the decline in the demand for the non-renewable energy and the threat of the stringent environmental policies in the foreseeing future would respond by accelerating current extraction. This phenomenon in the existing literature is called the …
