Theses and Dissertations

Punimi i diplomës “ndikimi i inovacioneve në produktivitetin e ndërmarrjeve” fokusohet kryesisht në rolin dhe ndikimin e inovacioneve në ndërmarrësi, sidomos tani kur globalizmi dhe zhvillimet teknologjike kanë bërë që suksesi të varet nga një konkurrencë e jashtëzakonshme në betejën për mbijetesë ekonomike.

Sipas Schumpeter, procesi krijues i zhvillimit ekonomik mund të ndahet në tri faza të dallueshme: në shpikje; inovacione (komercializimit) dhe imitim. Sipas kësaj teorie, shpikja dhe inovacioni kërkojnë aftësi të posaçme. Bashkimi i tyre rritë mundësitë e komercializimit të suksesshëm.

Zhvillimi i hovshëm teknologjik ka bërë që inovacionet “të lehtësojnë” jetën e qytetarit çdo ditë e më …

Effects Of Psychological Contract Breaches On Mergers And Acquisitions, Kristine M. Murphy

Doctoral Dissertations

This study investigates breaches in the psychological employment contract during mergers and acquisitions. An employee's contract is incomplete in regards to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Employees who have experienced an M&A were surveyed to test the severity of various psychological contract breaches and their effect on employee performance, organizational citizenship behavior, job satisfaction, organizational deviance, and turnover using t-tests, Structural Equation Modeling, and ANOVA.

Investor Behavior In The Mutual Fund Industry: Evidence From Gross Flows, George D. Cashman, Federico Nardari, Daniel N. Deli, Sriram V. Villupuram

Finance Faculty Research and Publications

Using a large sample of monthly gross flows from 1997 to 2003, we uncover several previously undocumented regularities in investor behavior. First, investor purchases and sales produce fund-level gross flows that are highly persistent. Persistence in fund flows dominates performance as a predictor of future fund flows. More importantly, failing to account for flow persistence leads to incorrect inferences with respect to the relation between performance and flows. Second, we document that investors react differently to performance depending on the type of fund, and that investor trading activity produces meaningful differences in the persistence of fund flows across mutual fund …

Perceptions Of Fully Asynchronous Web-Based Courses: Marketing Implications, Srivatsa Seshadri, Greg Broekemier, Joshua Tolin

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

While there is a considerable body of literature addressing fully asynchronous online web-based teaching in institutions of higher education, none have delved into perceptions and expectations of online classes among those who have never experienced them first hand, either as students or as full-time faculty. As online courses have become ubiquitous, it has become imperative that academic institutions understand what faculty and students think about them. This study attempts to address this gap in extant literature. The similarities and differences in the perceptions about asynchronous online courses (1) among students and (2) between students and full-time faculty are addressed. Marketing …

Conducting A Fraud Examination On Your Fraud Examination Students, Robert J. Dosch

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a fraud examination that occurred during a fraud examination course. The examination was not what one would first imagine. It was not an examination conducted by the students as part of the course requirements. Instead, it was an examination performed by the instructor on his students.

This paper will note how the investigation of the students relates to common components of frauds, attributes of the perpetrators, investigation methods utilized, the final resolution of this investigation, and what I might do different in future investigations.

The Essay Industry, Stephanie Owings, Jennifer Nelson

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

This paper considers the essay industry. The essay industry is an Internet-based collection of firms that provide students with papers, written by others, which satisfy their coursework assignments. We find that the industry is thriving. The firm failure rate is low, profits are high and revenues are, at a minimum, $100 million. Although there are laws in many states prohibiting the sale of essays, we find that these laws are not generally enforced. We review the pricing structure of the industry and the typical compensation rates of their employees. We consider anti-plagiarism software and conclude that it has limited effectiveness …

Sucker Rumination: How Aversive Self-Directed Cognitions Affect Purchase Intentions, Tyler F. Stillman, Gregory S. Pruess

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

If there is a silver lining to having been tricked in an economic context, perhaps it is that one can be wiser for the experience. Presumably, people are able to learn from such transactions and avoid them in the future. The current study employed an experimental design in which some participants were assigned to a control condition and others were told that they had recently been duped. Results indicated that among those who felt duped, people high in sucker rumination were subsequently less likely to avoid the source of deception. That is, people with a tendency to blame themselves harshly …

Thoughts On Teaching The Senior Research Seminar In A Four-Year College: Suggested Protocols, Neal E. Duffy

Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology

This is an experiential and philosophical account of teaching the senior research seminar to economics and finance students. This article covers issues involving grading, resources, project selection, accountability, assessment, and class structure as well as the culture shock felt by both students and teacher in an independent study environment. One major point is that greater communication and minimal structure are more effective in creating the atmosphere of a true seminar. Instead of wasting time on research methods and over-assessment, the active exchange of ideas and learning-by-doing should be the focus of the senior seminar.

Effects Of Perceived Privacy Protection: Does Reading Privacy Notices Matter?, Xiaojing Sheng, Penny M. Simpson

Marketing Faculty Publications

Many consumers do not read privacy notices despite the fact that websites post privacy notices to address consumers' long-standing concerns about privacy protection on the internet. To understand why consumers do not read privacy notices and the impact of reading (or not reading) privacy notices on the found effect of privacy notices, data were collected from 137 readers of privacy notices and 97 non-readers of privacy notices. This research's test of the moderating effects of reading (or not reading) privacy notices found that perceived privacy protection positively affected trust and negatively affected perceived information risk and that the negative effect …

Audit Committee Composition And Effectiveness: A Review Of Post-Sox Literature, Mahfuja Malik

WCBT Faculty Publications

The Sarbanes–Oxley act (SOX) was enacted to strengthen corporate governance practices in the United States; since SOX enactment, the audit committee has received increasing emphasis in accounting research. The main objective of this study is to review and synthesize the growing volume of audit committee literature in the post-SOX era. While summarizing the post-SOX literature, this study also focuses on selected pre-SOX studies to compare the research issues and findings of pre- and post-SOX literature and to show how governance reforms shape the literature’s domain. The extant audit committee literature reflects an enormous body of knowledge. Pre-SOX literature documents that …

Sustainability, Stakeholder Perspective And Corporate Success: A Paradigm Shift, Eunsup Daniel Shim

WCBT Faculty Publications

In this paper, I argue that the corporation can ‘do well by doing good’ in the long run if they take the stakeholder perspective. Corporations narrowly focused on short-term profits, can make business decisions that could be detrimental to long-run sustainability. For example, firms might not be making enough investments in Research and Development, producing potentially harmful products, and might not pay enough attention to their corporate image. The stakeholder perspective promotes ethical business decision-making and focuses on long-run sustainability by emphasizing a stable customer base, employee well-being, a better corporate image, and corporate social responsibility. Ethical decision-making includes a …

The Impact Of Mergers And Acquisition Premiums On Financial Performance, Barbara M. Tarasovich

WCBT Faculty Publications

The purpose of this paper was to examine why so many M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) continue to take place at steep premiums in spite of lower returns to shareholders. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries present a unique opportunity to investigate the financial impact on acquiring companies and of acquisition premiums. This paper empirically examines if post-merger financial performance is correlated to acquisition premiums. The paper analyzes M&A in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries with effective dates between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2005 The analysis showed that acquisition premiums are positively related to long term under performance of the …
