Towards A Deeper Understanding Of The Use And Effectiveness Of Human Resource Dashboards, Roopa Shashikant Bhopale May 2010

Towards A Deeper Understanding Of The Use And Effectiveness Of Human Resource Dashboards, Roopa Shashikant Bhopale

Business/Business Administration

The goal of this thesis is to examine the factors which influence the effectiveness of human resource (HR) dashboards and the antecedents which motivate employees to use them. To do this, I have examined research on executive information systems (EIS) and dashboards and have developed models of the factors which lead to HR dashboard use and success. Looking to this idea that a dashboard is a relative of executive information systems, EIS literature was used to provide the factors in the models of dashboard use and success. In hopes of being able to develop more used and more effective dashboards, …

Do Hedged Mutual Funds Hedge?, Steven Newton May 2010

Do Hedged Mutual Funds Hedge?, Steven Newton

Business/Business Administration

Mutual funds using hedge fund strategies, known as “hedged mutual funds,” have experienced rapid growth in recent years. In theory, these funds should provide a source of diversification for retail investors however the 2008 credit crisis negated the expected benefits of many equity diversifiers. Between 2004 and 2009, hedged mutual funds underperform hedge funds using similar strategies. In contrast, hedged mutual funds outperform the S&P 500 although funds with a market neutral strategy underperform the risk-free rate. These findings suggest that, when compared to a long-only equity strategy, hedged mutual funds offer retail investors improved performance in bear markets.

어떤 상황에서 소비자는 다수의 선택을 따를까?, Moon Seop Kim, Hyun Min Oh, Jae Il Kim

Asia Marketing Journal

People have competing desires. Hence, people not only chase others` choices due to the need for assimilation but also avoid others` choices due to the need for differentiation. This study attempts to uncover under which conditions consumers assimilate with or differentiate from others` choices. Specifically, the study extends previous research about the effect of others` choices by focusing on the effect of a choice situation (purchase vs. usage) based on the conformity theory and the uniqueness theory. It was found that purchase (vs. usage) situation makes people more conform to others in case of identity-irrelevant product (e.g., USB memory stick). …

고객의 개인적 요소가 대기시간 경험에 미치는 영향에 대한 탐색적 연구, Ju Young Kim, Bo Mi Yoo

Asia Marketing Journal

Customers often experience waiting for buying service. Managing customers` waiting time is im-portant for service providers since customers who are dissatisfied with waiting, secede from a service place at last. Not a few studies have been done to solve waiting time problem and improve customers` waiting experience. Hui & Tse(1996) identify evaluation factors in customers` behavioral mechanism as customers wait. That is, customers experience perceived waiting time, waiting acceptability and emotional response to the wait when they wait. Since customers evaluate the wait using these factors, service provider should manage these factors in order to minimize customers` dissatisfaction. Therefore, this …


Human Capital Development Role Of Hr During Mergers And Acqusitions, Yasmeen Rizvi Apr 2010

Human Capital Development Role Of Hr During Mergers And Acqusitions, Yasmeen Rizvi

The South East Asian Journal of Management

The need for corporate firms to gain competitive advantage in a highly competitive global environment has necessitated the adoption of innovative strategies, one of them being mergers and acquisitions. Selden and Colvin (2003) have stated that 70%-80% of acquisitions fail, meaning that they create no wealth for the share owners of the acquiring company. Schmidt (2003) has identified five major roadblocks to M & A success, three of which are HR issues. It has been established that there is a strong direct correlation between human resource involvement and 'success' in mergers and acquisitions (Schmidt, A.J., 2003). A positive association was …

Successful Partnerships: A Matter Of Experience?, Frits D. J. Grotenhuis Apr 2010

Successful Partnerships: A Matter Of Experience?, Frits D. J. Grotenhuis

The South East Asian Journal of Management

Statistics indicate that most mergers and acquisitions are not very successful. At the same time, similar reasons for success and failure have been reported over the past decades by different scholars. Frequent mentioned reasons are related to finansial or legal issues during the pre-merger phase and cultural or integration issues during the post-merger phase. This far, hardly any study examined the learning effect of previous mergers and acquisitions experiences. This paper focuses on the post-merger integration phase of mergers and acquisitions, and the learning elements. First results indicate that managers can learn from previous experience and thus increase changes for …

Light The Way To Meeting Success!, Tarsha Gibson, Scott Johnson, Jane Polvadore, Courtney Short

Undergraduate Research Conference

A great opportunity exists for organizations to improve meeting efficiency. There are approximately 11 million meetings everyday in the United States. Meetings accomplish most business. Lack of a clear agenda, lack of 100% engagement by all participants, and lack of decisions are common problems plaguing most meetings. Biss Enterprises, a human resource support company in Dallas, Texas, will achieve these goals through a workshop, “Light the Way to Meeting Success,” which teaches a systematic curriculum.
