This thesis undertook to study the accounting practices of small-volume home builders. Small-volume home builders were defined as those producing 25 homes or fewer in …

Results also indicated that family of origin ritual meaning significantly predicted young adult anxiety after …
The Art And Science Of Discontinuous Innovation: A Case Study In Product Reinvention, Daniel C. Smoot
The Art And Science Of Discontinuous Innovation: A Case Study In Product Reinvention, Daniel C. Smoot
Theses and Dissertations
Divergence of new and old technologies is a source of tremendous innovation potential. As the dizzying pace of technological innovation accelerates indefinitely into tomorrow, not only do new paths diverge exponentially; doors already opened are increasingly abandoned for the allure of things undiscovered. Mature, late-stage life-cycle products left behind in today's fast-paced world open the floodgates to reinvention. This paper tests the hypothesis that innovativeness can be encouraged through the learning and application of universal innovation principles and processes. The implications of this research area are far-reaching. If innovation can be encouraged, then it can likely be taught. If it …
