Foreign Market Entry Mode Choice Of Service Firms: A Contingency Perspective, Ikechi Ekeledo, K. Sivakumar Jan 1998

Foreign Market Entry Mode Choice Of Service Firms: A Contingency Perspective, Ikechi Ekeledo, K. Sivakumar

Department of Marketing Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Research on how service firms choose their initial mode of operation in foreign markets appears to have led to two contradictory conclusions. Findings from one group of studies suggest that factors determining entry mode choice by manufacturing firms are generalizable to service firms. Findings from another group of studies contradict that view. The authors reconcile the two views by means of a classification scheme that allows some services to be grouped with manufactured goods in terms of entry mode choice. A conceptual model of factors affecting the entry mode choice of service firms is proposed, research propositions are developed, and …


Urban Freight Mobility: Collection Of Data On Time, Costs, And Barriers Related To Moving Product Into The Central Business District, Anne G. Morris, Alain L. Kornhauser, Mark Kay Jan 1998

Urban Freight Mobility: Collection Of Data On Time, Costs, And Barriers Related To Moving Product Into The Central Business District, Anne G. Morris, Alain L. Kornhauser, Mark Kay

Department of Marketing Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Just-in-time deliveries and lower inventories have led to more frequent deliveries of goods and services, markedly increasing urban congestion. The Goods Movement in the New York Metropolitan Area study's goal was to develop a research methodology for capturing urban freight mobility data and to collect cost and time data on freight moving into New York City's central business district (CBD). The methodology developed and its implementation are discussed. Problems with access and collecting data from industry executives are also addressed. In industry-sector focus groups, senior logistics executives discussed urban freight mobility issues, especially barriers to goods movement into the CBD. …


Effects Of Library Instruction On University Students’ Satisfaction With The Library: A Longitudinal Study, Anthony Stamatoplos, Robert Mackoy Jan 1998

Effects Of Library Instruction On University Students’ Satisfaction With The Library: A Longitudinal Study, Anthony Stamatoplos, Robert Mackoy

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Consideration of satisfaction should be an important part of the evaluation of library services. Satisfaction depends, to some extent, on patron expectations of services. This study evaluated changes in student expectations following library instruction and how they were related to overall, long-term satisfaction with the library. Satisfaction appeared to be related to student perceptions of information accessibility, staff competence and helpfulness, computer usefulness and ease of use, and skill level for using libraries. The study suggests that libraries may be well served by measuring patron satisfaction and learning what variables drive satisfaction at particular libraries.

John Johnson's Letters: The Accounting Role Of Tudor Merchants' Correspondence, David Oldroyd Jan 1998

John Johnson's Letters: The Accounting Role Of Tudor Merchants' Correspondence, David Oldroyd

Accounting Historians Journal

This article examines the role that correspondence played in the accounting systems of Tudor merchants. Merchants relied heavily on letters as a means of controlling their businesses at a distance by making agents accountable. Written accountability, as well as information for business decisions, was encouraged by agency relationships in mercantile enterprises. The system could be undermined by the breakdown of communication through the negligence of a factor or the lack of involvement by the principal. The time delays between the sending and the receipt of letters, on the one hand, and the procurement and conveyance of goods, on the other, …

Fasb's Accomplishments To Date: One Participant's Views, Dennis R. Beresford Jan 1998

Fasb's Accomplishments To Date: One Participant's Views, Dennis R. Beresford

Accounting Historians Journal

When the editor of this journal wrote me in mid-1997, he invited me, as the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) most recent former chairman, to write a retrospective of the Board's activities to date. The 25th anniversary of the FASB in 1998 just happens to coincide with the 25th anniversary of The Academy of Accounting Historians so it seemed logical to publish an overview of the FASB's history at the same time that The Academy itself was celebrating. I told the editor that such an effort was probably beyond my capabilities (I am not an historian!) and available time. So …


Forgotten Accounting Association: The Institute Of Accounts, George C. Romeo, Larissa S. Kyj Jan 1998

Forgotten Accounting Association: The Institute Of Accounts, George C. Romeo, Larissa S. Kyj

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper focuses on the origin and operation of the Institute of Accountants and Bookkeepers established in New York City in 1882, one of the earliest recorded efforts to establish the accounting profession in the United States. This organization is often overlooked or confused with the American Institute of Accountants (the predecessor of the AICPA), so that little has been written about it. Periodicals published during the late 19th and early 20th centuries were used to reconstruct the history and contribution of this Institute. Its contributions were many, including forming and influencing the passage of the first CPA law, developing …

Labor And Costing: The Employees' Dilemma, Stephen P. Walker, Falconer Mitchell Jan 1998

Labor And Costing: The Employees' Dilemma, Stephen P. Walker, Falconer Mitchell

Accounting Historians Journal

The paper analyzes the discordant reactions of labor to the introduction of uniform costing in the British printing industry during the early 20th century. The paper reveals that trade unions assisted employers in the quest for a costing-based solution to the inveterate problem of excessive price competition in the printing sector. At the same time, rank-and-file unionists were fearful of the exploitative potential of one element of the prescribed costing solution : time recording. It is shown that labor hostility was sited at the point where costing converged with scientific management in the organization. Evidence is presented which confirms the …


Income Tax Allocation: The Continuing Controversy In Historical Perspective, Sally M. Schultz, Roxanne Therese Johnson Jan 1998

Income Tax Allocation: The Continuing Controversy In Historical Perspective, Sally M. Schultz, Roxanne Therese Johnson

Accounting Historians Journal

The appropriate means of accounting for income taxes on financial statements has been among the most hotly debated and frequently recycled issues of the past 50 years. This retrospective account begins with the issuance of the first professional standards during the 1930s and 1940s, and illustrates how theoretical arguments, developed in professional and academic journals during the 1950s, were subsequently recycled and revised during later decades. The problems that led to reconsideration of the deferred tax issue by both the APB during the 1960s and the FASB during the 1980s and 1990s are discussed, as are the solutions offered by …

Follow-Up To: Recent Insights Into Mesopotamian Accounting Of The 3rd Millennium B.C.: Correction To Table 1, Richard Mattessich Jan 1998

Follow-Up To: Recent Insights Into Mesopotamian Accounting Of The 3rd Millennium B.C.: Correction To Table 1, Richard Mattessich

Accounting Historians Journal

In the following, the corrected version of Table 1 to the above-mentioned paper [Mattessich, 1998] is shown. The author apologizes for having supplied (on p. 16) an obsolete version (based on incorrect conversion rates). In consequence, the figures of this table did not match with the figures of the first 17 lines of the commentary in the subsequent section, "UNEXPLAINED DISCREPANCIES AND OTHER ITEMS TO BE CLARIFIED" (p. 17). The present version does match this original commentary (a proof that two versions of the table got switched erroneously). However, I ask the reader to regard my interpretations of Nissen et …
