Negative Attitudes Toward U.S. Products: Malaysian Muslim Consumers' Perspective, Khairul Anuar Bin Mohammad Shah, Md Nor Othman Prof. Dr. Oct 2008

Negative Attitudes Toward U.S. Products: Malaysian Muslim Consumers' Perspective, Khairul Anuar Bin Mohammad Shah, Md Nor Othman Prof. Dr.

The South East Asian Journal of Management

Consumer attitudes toward foreign products from various countries can vary significantly from one country to another. Consumer attitudes and behavioural intentions in a country can also vary overtime due to a change in the country's level of industrialization, marketing development, and lifestyle. Therefore, it is beneficial for this study to identify the attitudes of the consumers towards foreign products in a particular market. The sources of negative attitudes such as country of origin effects (Han, 1988), consumer ethnocentrism (Shimp and Sharma, 1987), and consumer animosity (Klein, Etteson, and Morries, 1998), are the factors that can influence the willingness of the …

Asia Marketing Journal

This study explores ways in which Korean companies manage a brand to become a long-run success. In particular, this study focuses on Chamisul, analyzing its marketing strategy, examining its brand life-cycle in terms of introduction, growth, and renewal. Chamisul, first introduced in 1998, has occupied the Korean liquor market as a leading brand for almost a decade.

A Narratives’ Exploration Of Non-Traditional International Assignees Locally Resident And Employed In The South Of France, Marian Crowley-Henry Oct 2008

A Narratives’ Exploration Of Non-Traditional International Assignees Locally Resident And Employed In The South Of France, Marian Crowley-Henry

Conference papers

Contemporary publications in international human resource management call for the pluralisation of international assignees beyond the widely described expatriate. This paper presents an under-explored category of international assignees: highly educated, non French, Western (first world) individuals who reside indefinitely in the South of France, maintaining their professional careers while resident in the host country. A sample of over thirty individuals meeting these criteria was interviewed in France in depth over a three year period. These individuals are not migrants as by their own descriptions they consider migrants to have to move internationally (economic migrants) while their decisions to move to …

Connecting Resources To Student Achievement: Assessment Of The Indeterminacy Of District Performance, Peter Simpson, Robert K. Gable, Stacey L. Kite Oct 2008

Connecting Resources To Student Achievement: Assessment Of The Indeterminacy Of District Performance, Peter Simpson, Robert K. Gable, Stacey L. Kite

School Finance and Student Achievement

The purpose of this study is to conduct cluster analyses, resulting in groupings of N=113 districts based on socioeconomic status (SES), which is the independent variable and primary correlate of performance. It is a quantitative analysis of N=113 districts in Massachusetts for the period from 2000 to 2005. The study conducts cluster analyses to evaluate district performance as measured by student achievement. The problem is stated by National Research Council (1999) that: “Indeterminacy characterizes education production”. Indeterminacy is represented by variation in the N=113 districts’ performance. The groupings of performance obtained from the cluster analyses provide information about the types …

The Rays' Makeover, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The success of the Tampa Bay Rays may seem to be quite remarkable to the baseball world, but it can only be fully appreciated if you have some idea of how truly dreadful this team and this franchise has been over the past decade. Everything associated with or touched by it was a disaster on a scale that is difficult to wrap your mind around.


Global Financial Meltdown: Genesis, Consequences, And Lessons, Ishrat Husain Dr. Oct 2008

Global Financial Meltdown: Genesis, Consequences, And Lessons, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

First of all let me thank ICAP for inviting me to this very important meeting. I feel that there is a lack of understanding of the global financial crisis, what its consequences are and more importantly what are the lessons. We all seem to believe in rhetoric, slogans and platitudes and one of the most popular platitudes these days is that ‘capitalism is dead’ and nationalization is the word which will prevail over the entire global finance. If we draw the wrong conclusions we are going to make even more mistakes and, therefore, it is important to put this in …

The Enduring Ambivalence Of Corporate Law, Christopher M. Bruner Oct 2008

The Enduring Ambivalence Of Corporate Law, Christopher M. Bruner

Scholarly Works

Prevailing theories of corporate law tend to rely heavily on strong claims regarding the corporate governance primacy and legitimacy of either the board or the shareholders, as the case may be. In this article I challenge the descriptive power of these theories as applied to widely held public corporations and advance an alternative, arguing that corporate law is, and will remain, deeply ambivalent - both doctrinally and morally - with respect to three fundamental and related issues: the locus of ultimate corporate governance authority, the intended beneficiaries of corporate production, and the relationship between corporate law and theachievement of the …
