Faculty Ethics Unveiled: Scholarship—Et Tu, Brute?, Susan R. Madsen, James H. Davis

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

Little actual research has been conducted to explore the ethics of the faculty of higher education. A review of the literature has discovered four primary categories of faculty ethics, which include scholarship, teaching, service, and professional (e.g., consulting, treatment of colleagues and peers). This paper will focus on the scholarship category and includes research (e.g., authorship, conflicts of interest, plagiarism/citing-including self-plagiarism, ethical approval, research design, redundant publications, misconduct, accuracy, personal criticism of others) and review of other's work as a reviewer or editor (e.g., unbiased, speed/timeliness, accuracy, responsibility, objectivity, confidentiality, conflicts of interest). The purpose of this paper is to …

Two Empirical Essays On Mutual Thrift Conversions, Chris Swift

College of Business: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

In our first essay, we study initial returns and long-run performance of a unique sample of recently converted mutual-to-stock thrifts. Since the average converted thrift in underpriced, we are able to characterize investor behavior in a way that is not possible with the typical IPO. In particular, we find that after removing large returns cumulative excess returns are positive for the first 12 months after the IPO. Beginning in the second year, the average firm undergoes a significant price correction that lasts for approximately 18 months which produces negative cumulative abnormal returns for up to five years post-issue. Differences in …

Examining The Inseparability Of Enterprise And Strategy Discourse, Brendan O'Rourke

Conference papers

Small owner-managed firms are an interesting site in which to examine the deployment of strategy discourse. On the one hand, small firms offer a location where the holistic nature of strategy (Clegg et al., 2004:24; Liedtka, 1998:122; Lilley,2001: 75) is more likely to feature in daily practice On the other hand, owner-managed firms lack a key reason for the original emergence of the strategy discourse i.e. strategy as a discourse of accountability by professional managers to shareholders (Knights & Morgan, 1991). Small firm owner-managers are the ideological heroes of the enterprise discourse (Carr, 2000:101). This work looks at how owner-managers …

The Du Ponts In Kentucky: Louisville’S Central Park, The Southern Exposition, And An Entrepreneurial Spirit*, Timothy J. Mullin

SCL Faculty and Staff Publications

* The du Pont family is large, and recurring names and nicknames often make it difficult to follow who’s who. The Lammot family is woven together with the du Pont family in a complicated thread, especially since Margaretta was a favorite name. Adding the Coleman/Moxham family only makes the complicated spider’s web of family relationships that much more difficult. For this purpose selected family trees are included as appendices.

Reconceptualizing Technology Use And Information System Success: Developing And Testing A Theoretically Integrated Model, Keng-Jung Yeh

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) research, which pertains to how an information system can be initially adopted by members of an organization, was born two decades ago and grows into one of the pivotal theoretical foundations of the information systems (IS) discipline. However, many IS scholars indicate that recent TAM research fail to break the 20-years-old confinement and provide little intellectual value.To respond to this call for more intellectual depth in TAM research, this dissertation suggests multiple ways to rejuvenate the research stream. First, Bhattacherjee's IS use continuance model (2001), which is based on the Expectation-Disconfirmation Theory, was adopted as the …

To Test Before Or To Test After - An Experimental Investigation Of The Impact Of Test Driven Development, Vikram Singh Bhadauria

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive

Test driven development (TDD) requires the developer to create the test suite before designing and writing the application program. Unlike traditional software development practices, in TDD test development precedes application development. Such a practice also redefines the role of the developer. Lately, TDD is growing in popularity as a part of Agile methodologies. There is a critical need for rigorous empirical research to understand the role and impact of TDD as a software development practice. The goal of this dissertation research is to fill this gap. We conducted a Laboratory Experiment to understand the influence of TDD on the outcomes …

Servicescape And Customer Satisfaction: The Role Of Strategy, Patti Lynn Collett

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive

The purpose of this research is to determine if the corporate strategy theory base may be useful in advancing the understanding of service characteristics; specifically, the relationship between particular service industries, competitive strategy and a firm's choice of servicescape dimensions. The design and methodology of this research combines two distinct literature streams with respect to service operations: competitive strategy and operations strategy. First, the operations strategy literature and its evolution into service operations are reviewed to provide a historical foundation for the research and to identify possible research gaps. Next, the strategy literature is reviewed as a possible remedy to …

Enabling Rfid Technology In Irish Hospitals, Khaled Ismail, Amr Arisha

Conference papers

Hospitals represent a significant part of healthcare systems and account for no less than 60% of the entire healthcare service in most of developed countries. Therefore, improving service in hospitals is an important element to the process of healthcare reform. Better use of resources, more consistent quality, and a higher service level are the keys to rationalise the huge expenditure in healthcare systems due to higher growth in demand. Even though massive spending has been directed towards hospital improvement in Ireland, services provided in Irish hospitals are ranked relatively low comparing to the other European countries. Growth of population, aging, …

The Current Global Financial Crisis: Do Asian Stock Markets Show Contagious Or Interdependency Effects?, Lucia Morales, Bernadette Andreosso-O'Callaghan

Conference Papers

In the framework of the current global economic crisis, a pertinent question is whether the world economies are suffering from contagion or interdependency effects. With its origins in the US sub-prime mortgage market crisis starting at the end of 2007, when a loss of confidence by investors in the value of securitized mortgages resulted in a liquidity crisis, hard-hitting the banking system and rapidly spreading into the financial markets, the effects of the crisis were automatically reflected in the rest of the world economies. These effects that become severe as the rest of the world has been facing its economic …
