The Implications Of Property Rights In Virtual World Business Models, Ian Macinnes Jan 2005

The Implications Of Property Rights In Virtual World Business Models, Ian Macinnes

School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship

The financial success of online communities based on multiplayer game environments has been a bright spot among the many failures in electronic commerce initiatives. While this form of business has existed for less than a decade, it is growing rapidly and has become a mainstream form of entertainment in some areas of the world, such as Korea. Game environments are becoming more immersive and compelling and if this rate of improvement continues, such as through growing broadband penetration, they are likely to become as common as other forms of entertainment. This paper analyzes the issues facing developers of game communities …


Virtual Worlds In Asia: Business Models And Legal Issues. Paper Presented At Digra, Ian Macinnes Jan 2005

Virtual Worlds In Asia: Business Models And Legal Issues. Paper Presented At Digra, Ian Macinnes

School of Information Studies - Faculty Scholarship

This paper uses two Asian case studies to illustrate the issues that developers of virtual worlds should address as they mature. The Korean case emphasizes the phenomenon of item trading. This involves emergent markets linking real world currency to items existing on company servers. The practice has resulted in controversial and unresolved legal issues. Companies such as ItemBay have grown to take advantage of these opportunities. The Chinese case emphasizes the transformation of business models over time as well as community control. The paper discusses feedback effects between broadband adoption and online games as well as issues such as Waigua, …

Measure For Measure: Modeling Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Onto Instrumental Tasks Within The New Venture Creation Process, Jill Kickul, Robert S. D'Intino Jan 2005

Measure For Measure: Modeling Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Onto Instrumental Tasks Within The New Venture Creation Process, Jill Kickul, Robert S. D'Intino

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship

We examine the various components of entrepreneurial self-efficacy within the entrepreneurship literature from a measurement perspective. Two published entrepreneurial self-efficacy instruments are tested and compared. Additionally, we study how self-efficacy relates with many of the tasks and roles identified within the entrepreneurial new venture life-cycle. Our study suggests relationships between self-efficacy, perceived skills, and abilities to manage a new venture, and entrepreneurial intentions to start a new venture. We discuss relationships between entrepreneurship research and university teaching and make specific suggestions on how further work on improving measurement in entrepreneurship will benefit both research and teaching effectiveness.

Cost And Management Accounting In Pre-Industrial Revolution Spain, Fernando Gutierrez, Carlos Larrinaga, Miriam Nunez Jan 2005

Cost And Management Accounting In Pre-Industrial Revolution Spain, Fernando Gutierrez, Carlos Larrinaga, Miriam Nunez

Accounting Historians Journal

In traditional Anglo-Saxon accounting historiography the birth of sophisticated management accounting practices was dated at the end of the 19th century [Johnson and Kaplan, 1987]. However, some more recent investigations have questioned this idea and demonstrate the existence of sophisticated management accounting and control techniques before the industrial revolution in differing contexts such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Spain. Fleischman and Parker [1991] have demonstrated that these practices were present in a significant number of British companies. However, evidence for Spain is based on isolated case studies. While case studies are essential to explain how these techniques …


Is Time Spent, Passed Or Counted? The Missing Link Between Time And Accounting History, Paolo Quattrone Jan 2005

Is Time Spent, Passed Or Counted? The Missing Link Between Time And Accounting History, Paolo Quattrone

Accounting Historians Journal

This paper takes its inspiration from Voth's [2000] work on Time and Work in England, 1750-1830 which argues that the British industrial revolution led to greater production levels not because of an increase in the productivity of labor but because of the larger amount of hours worked per week. This change led to a decrease of free time in favor of worked time. If this was the case, one might argue, accounting played a marginal role either in increasing the efficiency of the work force, or in disciplining the shop floor to guarantee control of the labor process. This paper …

Constructing The Well Qualified Chartered Accountant In England And Wales, Malcolm Anderson, John Richard Edwards, Roy A. Chandler Jan 2005

Constructing The Well Qualified Chartered Accountant In England And Wales, Malcolm Anderson, John Richard Edwards, Roy A. Chandler

Accounting Historians Journal

Fundamental to the pursuit of the professional project by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), in the early years of its existence, was the construction of the well qualified chartered accountant. This involved the introduction of onerous examinations, lengthy vocational training and significant financial hurdles, which together confined membership to the wealthier sections of society. Prior studies concentrate on the external implications of the ICAEW's policies, and have accepted, though left unexamined, the significance of entry hurdles in achieving exclusionary closure. The major focus of this paper is to examine how the ICAEW differentiated its membership …


Accounting For A Disappearance: A Contribution To The History Of The Value Added Statement In The Uk, Chris Pong, Falconer Mitchell Jan 2005

Accounting For A Disappearance: A Contribution To The History Of The Value Added Statement In The Uk, Chris Pong, Falconer Mitchell

Accounting Historians Journal

Burchell et al's [1985] historical analysis of value added in the UK attributes its rise and fall to societal circumstances which initially encouraged the voluntary disclosure of the Value Added Statement (VAS) by companies and then, following societal change, influenced its disappearance. This paper supplements Burchell et al's thesis by arguing that a fuller explanation for the disappearance of the VAS can be found by also considering the contents of the statement itself. An empirical study of the information in the VASs of UK companies shows that they were unlikely to give support to the economic interests of the employee …


Accounting, Coercion And Social Control During Apprenticeship: Converting Slave Workers To Wage Workers In The British West Indies, C1834-1838, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd, Richard K. Fleischman Jan 2005

Accounting, Coercion And Social Control During Apprenticeship: Converting Slave Workers To Wage Workers In The British West Indies, C1834-1838, Thomas N. Tyson, David Oldroyd, Richard K. Fleischman

Accounting Historians Journal

The paper describes the nature and role of accounting during apprenticeship the transition period from slavery to waged labor in the British West Indies. Planters, colonial legislators, and Parliamentary leaders all feared that freed slaves would flee to open lands unless they were bound to plantations. Thus, rather than relying entirely on economic incentives to maintain viable plantations, the Abolition Act and subsequent local ordinances embodied a complex synthesis of paternalism, categorization, penalties, punishments, and social controls that were collectively intended to create a class of willing waged laborers. The primary role of accounting within this structure was to police …


Accounting In History, Stephen P. Walker Jan 2005

Accounting In History, Stephen P. Walker

Accounting Historians Journal

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this …
