The Role Of Online Trading Communities In Managing Internet Auction Fraud, Cecil Eng Huang Chua, Jonathan Wareham, Daniel Robey
The Role Of Online Trading Communities In Managing Internet Auction Fraud, Cecil Eng Huang Chua, Jonathan Wareham, Daniel Robey
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
Internet auctions demonstrate that advances in information technologies can create more efficient venues of exchange between large numbers of traders. However, the growth of Internet auctions has been accompanied by a corresponding growth in Internet auction fraud. Much extant research on Internet auction fraud in the information systems literature is conducted at the individual level of analysis, thereby limiting its focus to the choices of individual traders or trading dyads. The criminology literature, in contrast, recognizes that social and community factors are equally important influences on the perpetration and prevention of crime. We employ social disorganization theory as a lens …

The lack of trust is one of the most frequently cited reasons for customer's not returning to Internet service providers. As a new form of commercial activity, online financial services and stock trading involve more uncertainty and risk than traditional financial services. Trust is therefore a relatively influential factor of customer behavior in online financial services. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework of Intention to continuously adopt online financial services. Furthermore, the mediated effects of website trust are trusted. The main method of data collection for this study is a survey instrument designed by the author. …
A Supply Chain Design Model With Unreliable Supply, Lian Qi, Zuo-Jun Max Shen
A Supply Chain Design Model With Unreliable Supply, Lian Qi, Zuo-Jun Max Shen
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
Uncertainties abound within a supply chain and have big impacts on its performance. We propose an integrated model for a three-tiered supply chain network with one supplier, one or more facilities and retailers. This model takes into consideration the unreliable aspects of a supply chain. the properties of the optimal solution to the model are analyzed to reveal the impacts of supply uncertainty on supply chain design decisions. We also propose a general solution algorithm for this model. Computational experience is presented and discussed.

The Impact Of Cultural And Religious Values On Adoption Of Innovation, Angela Hausman, Morris Kalliny
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
Although managing the adoption of innovations domestically can be frustrating, the complexity of the issue increases tremendously when companies take a global approach to marketing. Differences in cultural and religious values can have a great impact on the process of innovation adoption. This study investigates the role of these cultural and religious values, specifically, collectivism/individualism/, uncertainty avoidance and power distance. a conceptual model is presented to illustrate the relationship between cultural/religious values and adoption of innovation.

We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and previous termlocationsnext term of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and each DC maintains a certain amount of safety stock in order to achieve a certain service level for the customers it serves. The objective is to minimize the total previous termcostnext term that includes previous termlocation costs and inventory costsnext term at the DCs, and distribution previous termcostsnext term in the supply chain. We show that this problem can be formulated as a nonlinear integer programming previous termmodel,next term for …
Engineering Management And Industrial Engineering: Similarities And Differences, Cassandra C. Elrod, Ashley Rasnic, William Daughton
Engineering Management And Industrial Engineering: Similarities And Differences, Cassandra C. Elrod, Ashley Rasnic, William Daughton
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
Engineering Management is a broad and diverse field of engineering, thereby making it difficult to define exactly what the degree encompasses. At the same time, the somewhat related degree of Industrial Engineering is better understood. Some universities offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Management with an emphasis in Industrial Engineering, while others offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering with an emphasis in Engineering Management. In today's world of competitive academia, many wonder if these degree fields are similar enough to be used interchangeably or if there is a distinct difference separating the two degrees, making …

Cultural Values Reflected In Arab And American Television Advertising, Morris Kalliny, Lance Gentry
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
This study examines cultural values as reflected in U.S. And the Arab world television advertising. A total of 866 television commercials from Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United States were analyzed. Contrary to the common notion that the U.S. culture and the Arabic culture are vastly different, we found many similarities between the two cultures regarding TV advertising content and appeal. The findings contribute to the debate of standardization versus adaptation of international advertising.
Forecasting Consumer Adoption Of Technological Innovation: Choosing The Appropriate Diffusion Models For New Products And Services Before Launch, Roger Calantone, Lance Gentry
Forecasting Consumer Adoption Of Technological Innovation: Choosing The Appropriate Diffusion Models For New Products And Services Before Launch, Roger Calantone, Lance Gentry
Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works
There are many good articles on various forecasting models. There is consensus that no single diffusion model is best for every situation. Experts in the field have asked for studies to provide empirical-based guidelines for recommending when various models should be used. This research investigates multiple diffusion models and provides recommendations for which diffusion models are appropriate for radical and really new products and services before the launch of the innovation.
