C-Suite Succession Failures: Causes, Effects, And Prevention: Results Of The 2015 Hr@Moore Survey Of Chief Hr Officers, Patrick M. Wright, Donald J. Schepker, Anthony J. Nyberg, Matthew L. Call, Michael D. Ulrich
Reports
This year’s HR@Moore Survey of Chief HR Officers examined traditional aspects of the CHRO role. It also examined the weaknesses of a CHRO’s predecessor and what current CHROs believe determine success in the role. The survey also examined the processes associated with succession failures among members of the C-Suite (CEO, CFO, CMO, CIO, CHRO, Business Leaders etc.); this report concerns this last issue. We began by interviewing 7 CHROs each of whom had over 10 years experience in CHRO roles, and most across different companies. These interviews consisted of the critical incident technique where we asked them to recall and …

Building The C-Suite Talent Pipeline: Insights From The 2015 Hr@Moore Survey Of Chief Hr Officers, Patrick M. Wright, Matthew L. Call, Anthony J. Nyberg, Donald J. Schepker, Michael D. Ulrich
Reports
The HR@Moore Survey of Chief HR Officers probed 143 CHROs regarding their strategies for building the C-suite talent pipeline. CHROs reported that they place the greatest importance on practices aimed at developing this talent, followed by those focused on retaining this talent. Specifically, firms provide individuals in the C-suite talent pipeline with significant access to the senior leadership of the firm, so that these individuals can begin to understand C-suite roles and so firm leaders can assess individuals in the talent pipeline. CHROs also emphasize using stretch assignments/job rotation and special projects as means of both developing broader skills/perspectives and …
The Value Of External Hires: Effects Of External Versus Internal Ceo Successors On Firm Performance Over Time, Donald J. Schepker, Youngsang Kim, Pankaj Patel, Michael Campion, Sherry Thatcher
The Value Of External Hires: Effects Of External Versus Internal Ceo Successors On Firm Performance Over Time, Donald J. Schepker, Youngsang Kim, Pankaj Patel, Michael Campion, Sherry Thatcher
Reports
Managing the talent pipeline is a critical risk area for organizations in today’s business environment. Chief Human Resource Officers are particularly concerned with ensuring the organization has a deep talent bench to replace executives who depart or retire. Both internal and external hires are likely to bring significant benefits to the organization. The most important consideration, however, should be a focus on the capabilities needed in the role for which an individual is to be hired.
Functional Roles And Executive Turnover, Center For Executive Succession
Functional Roles And Executive Turnover, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• Firm outcomes depend not only on whether executives leave, but on who leaves, individually and collectively. • The departure of executives with internally-focused roles is more harmful to firms because their jobs depend on firm-specific knowledge and experience. • Losing executives from different functions at the same time is more detrimental than losing several from the same function.

When Boards Willingly Select An Interim Ceo, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• The use of an interim CEO is more likely following a forced CEO succession. • Even when succession planning has identified an heir apparent, boards may still select an interim CEO when turnover is forced. • Succession planning early in a CEO’s tenure is critical, as boards select an interim CEO when succession occurs in the first three years of a departing CEO’s tenure.
Ceo Pay: Changing Sensitivities Across Tenure Levels, Center For Executive Succession
Ceo Pay: Changing Sensitivities Across Tenure Levels, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• CEO sensitivity to pay type changes with tenure. • The value of performance-based compensation declines with CEO tenure. For the first three years of a CEO’s tenure, stock options are positively related to firm performance • The benefits of salary based pay increases with CEO tenure. For the first nine years salary is negatively associated with shareholder return, however after twelve years, the CEO’s salary is positively associated with firm performance.
Board Interlocks And Firm Performance, Center For Executive Succession
Board Interlocks And Firm Performance, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• Board members who serve on multiple boards exert both positive and negative effects on firm performance, and these effects depend on the firm’s relative resources. • Firms with fewer resources perform better when their board members also serve on boards of firms with more resources. • In contrast, firms with greater resources perform worse when their board members also serve on boards with more resources constraints.
Ceo Stock Option And Product Recalls, Center For Executive Succession
Ceo Stock Option And Product Recalls, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• Firms with a larger percentage of CEO stock option compensation are more likely to have subsequent product recalls and a greater number of recall incidents. • The relationship between stock options and product recalls is weaker in firms with founder CEOs and where the CEO has a longer tenure.

Do Humble Ceos Matter? An Examination Of Ceo Humility And Firm Outcomes, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• More humble CEOs lead to executive leadership teams that collaborate better, jointly make decisions and have a greater shared vision. • Executive leadership teams have lower pay disparity when the CEO is humble. • More humble CEOs increase the likelihood that executive leadership teams will be able to adapt both exploration and exploitation strategies and this ambidexterity is associated with higher firm performance.
Initial Pay Of New Ceos In Turnaround Situations, Center For Executive Succession
Initial Pay Of New Ceos In Turnaround Situations, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
•New CEOs hired into turnaround situations tend to demand more pay in general, and a higher proportion of performance-based pay. • Higher pay premiums for CEOs in turnaround situations yield cost cutting and strategic focusing strategies which bring greater success. • Pay premiums are most effective for CEOs with more industry experience, but more prestigious CEOs engage in appropriate strategies more often regardless of pay.
The Costs Of Corporate Criminal Prosecutions, Center For Executive Succession
The Costs Of Corporate Criminal Prosecutions, Center For Executive Succession
Research Briefs
• When a firm is prosecuted for criminal behavior, the resulting decline in stock returns averages almost 11%. • Most of the decline is due to reputational costs, which the author estimates to be five times the financial penalties of a settlement or judgment. • The decline in stock price arises over a series of events from notification to sentencing. It does not take place all at once in response to conviction or sentencing.
Enabling Self-Service Bi Through A Dimensional Model Management Warehouse, Karen Corral, David Schuff, Gregory Schymik, Robert St. Louis
Enabling Self-Service Bi Through A Dimensional Model Management Warehouse, Karen Corral, David Schuff, Gregory Schymik, Robert St. Louis
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
The promise of Self-Service Business Intelligence (BI) is its ability to give business users access to selection, analysis, and reporting tools without requiring intervention from IT. However, while some progress has been made through tools such as SAS Enterprise Miner, IBM SPSS Modeler, and RapidMiner, analytical modeling remains firmly in the domain of IT departments and data scientists. The development of tools that mitigate the need for modeling expertise remains the “missing link” in selfservice BI, but prior attempts at developing modeling languages for nontechnical audiences have gone largely unadopted. This paper seeks to address this unmet need, bringing model-building …
A Newsvendor Approach To Compliance And Production Under Cap And Trade Emissions Regulation, Andrew S. Manikas, James R. Kroes
A Newsvendor Approach To Compliance And Production Under Cap And Trade Emissions Regulation, Andrew S. Manikas, James R. Kroes
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Since the 1990s, governmental agencies have increasingly turned to market based cap and trade programs to control the emission of pollutants. Firms subject to cap and trade regulation are typically required to acquire emissions allowances via open auction markets. The cost to acquire allowances may impose a substantial financial burden on a firm. While emissions reduction efforts may eliminate some firm's need to acquire additional allowances, there are still numerous firms that need to purchase additional allowances on the open market. This study presents a new forward buying heuristic, designed for those firms that need to purchase emissions allowances via …
Location Privacy In The Era Of The Internet Of Things And Big Data Analytics, Robert P. Minch
Location Privacy In The Era Of The Internet Of Things And Big Data Analytics, Robert P. Minch
IT and Supply Chain Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Location information is generated in large quantities in the Internet of Things and becomes a major component of the big data phenomenon. This results in privacy issues involving sensing, identification, storage, processing, sharing, and use of this information in technical, social, and legal contexts. These issues must be addressed if the IoT is to be widely adopted and accepted. Theory will need to be developed and tested, and new research questions will need to be investigated. This exploratory research begins to identify, classify, and describe these issues and questions.

The Influence Of Exploration On External Corporate Venturing Activity, Varkey K. Titus Jr., Jenny M. House, Jeffrey G. Covin
Department of Management: Faculty Publications
We utilize the exploration/exploitation framework to examine how a firm’s engagement in exploration influences its portfolio of external corporate venturing (ECV) activities. Three forms of equity-based ECV are considered: corporate venture capital investments, joint ventures, and acquisitions. The organizational learning literature is used to investigate how a firm’s engagement in exploration influences its usage of acquisitions relative to its overall portfolio of ECV activities. The investing firm’s industry technological dynamism is posited as a moderator of the relationship between exploration and the relative usage of acquisitions. Utilizing a sample of 1,326 firm-year observations between 1996 and 2008, we find that …
Quality Management And Innovation: New Insights On A Structural Contingency Framework, Dara Schniederjans, Marc Schniederjans
Quality Management And Innovation: New Insights On A Structural Contingency Framework, Dara Schniederjans, Marc Schniederjans
Department of Management: Faculty Publications
With increasing market competition, organizations are striving for greater innovation in products and services. Quality management has the potential to invigorate an organization’s product, process and administrative innovation when strategically aligned with internal contingencies. This paper seeks to address the relationship between social and technical quality management with innovation. Moreover, this paper empirically assesses contingency factors including organization size, task and managerial ethics which play roles in moderating the relationship between quality management and innovation. Based on an empirical study we find social quality management practices, not technical quality management practices, are positively associated with innovation. We also find a …
Racial Differences In Job Attribute Preferences: The Role Of Ethnic Identity And Self-Efficacy, Jakari N. Griffith, Gwendolyn M. Combs
Racial Differences In Job Attribute Preferences: The Role Of Ethnic Identity And Self-Efficacy, Jakari N. Griffith, Gwendolyn M. Combs
Department of Management: Faculty Publications
Using a sample of 149 white and 190 black business students, the authors examined racial differences in job attribute preferences. Results of this study indicate there were significant racial differences in 19 of 21 job attributes examined, with black students placing greater importance on job attributes than white students. Investigation of the mechanisms contributing to this difference reveals that the relationship between race and job attribute preferences was mediated by ethnic identity. Furthermore, the relationship between ethnic identity and job attributes was moderated by personal efficacy, with higher self-efficacy levels leading to greater importance placed on job attributes.

Resource Planning In Engineering Services Firms, Vincent Hargaden, Jennifer K. Ryan
Resource Planning In Engineering Services Firms, Vincent Hargaden, Jennifer K. Ryan
Department of Supply Chain Management and Analytics: Faculty Publications
We develop a model to enable engineering professional services firms to improve the management of their competitive resources, i.e., skilled engineers, to be better able to respond to customer demand. The model was informed by semistructured interviews with senior executives from engineering, information technology (IT) services and technical consulting firms. As a result, we capture many of the complexities associated with the resource planning process in the professional engineering services sector. In the resulting model, the key attributes of supply, demand, and operations constraints are identified. Based on information obtained from the interviews, a number of test firms are created.We …

Ranking Small Business Resistance Criteria Toward The Affordable Care Act, Rakesh M K Gupta
Ranking Small Business Resistance Criteria Toward The Affordable Care Act, Rakesh M K Gupta
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Following the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, politicians, media, and lobbyists rendered a number of conflicting and confusing interpretations of its merits and demerits. Such interpretations intensified the skepticism and concerns of small business enterprise (SBE) owners. The purpose of this study was to develop a representative, prioritized list of SBE owners' concerns or resistance factors. The goal was to create a useful guide for SBE owners who are seeking ways to reducing the adverse financial impact of the law. With social choice theory as the theoretical framework, 50 randomly selected SBE owners across 5 distinct …

Guided by the actor network theory, the purpose of this case study was to explore the strategies MED leaders use to help sustain small businesses in Bulgaria. Data were collected through a semistructured focus group comprised of MED Bulgarian business leaders (n = 4) in Rhodope Mountain Region and company data consisting of financial reports, marketing presentations, and company business plan. The data analysis included using keyword frequency comparisons, coding …
Tax Compliance: Ethical Orientation, Risk Perception And The Role Of The Tax Preparer, Ashley Beckett Soliz
Tax Compliance: Ethical Orientation, Risk Perception And The Role Of The Tax Preparer, Ashley Beckett Soliz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In a voluntary tax system, taxpayers have an opportunity to avoid or evade paying taxes. The reasons for and the causes of noncompliance are expansive. One way to increase revenue to the government without increasing taxes is to focus on deterring tax evasion and tax underreporting. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects on tax compliance of the taxpayer’s ethical orientation and perceived financial risk, as well as the role of the tax preparer in the compliance decision. This research adds to the current tax compliance literature by investigating (in an experimental setting) the role of the …
How Does The Audit Report's Structure Affect Nonprofessional Investors' Attention To Its Content?, Brian Matthew Goodson
How Does The Audit Report's Structure Affect Nonprofessional Investors' Attention To Its Content?, Brian Matthew Goodson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study experimentally examines whether and how two potential changes to the audit report’s structure affect the extent to which nonprofessional investors attend to the report’s content when evaluating a potential investment, and whether the potential effects differ across levels of investor sophistication. Specifically, I examine the impact of descriptive paragraph headings and the relative location of the opinion paragraph on judgments of financial statement reliability and investment decisions. Results indicate that when the audit report includes descriptive paragraph headings, less sophisticated investors perceive the report to be more readable, which, in turn, leads them to attribute higher levels of …
