Mobile Way Or The Highway! The Role Of Deployment And Design In Problem Solving Using Information Dashboards, Ganapathiraman Raghu Raman Sep 2016

Mobile Way Or The Highway! The Role Of Deployment And Design In Problem Solving Using Information Dashboards, Ganapathiraman Raghu Raman

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive

Information dashboards are becoming very popular in the areas of decision making and problem solving. Decision makers use heuristics when facing challenging environmental situations. These could result in systematic errors called biases. How do mobile information dashboards impact these biases? We propose that decision makers are more prone to biases associated with certain heuristics when using information dashboards deployed on mobile devices. Data visualizations on dashboards could be distorted. We also propose that employment of heuristics could increase the negative effect of distortions. There is a distinct bias in favor of deploying these dashboards on mobile versus static desktops. Is …

Street Vending And Competitive Advantage: Towards Building A Theoretical Framework, Aborampah Amoah-Mensah Sep 2016

Street Vending And Competitive Advantage: Towards Building A Theoretical Framework, Aborampah Amoah-Mensah

The Qualitative Report

The study examines the strategies adopted by street vendors or hawkers in Ghana in a bid to gain competitive advantage. Drawing on six focus group meetings held with street vendors in two sub-metropolitan assemblies (Bantama and Tafo) in Kumasi, Ghana, the study finds that street vendors adopt ten strategies – networking, multiple undifferentiated market strategy, the sale of convenient products, “dying and resurrecting” (strategic exit and return into business), regular changing of goods and services, exploitation of flexible operating hours, cost-based pricing strategy, sales promotion, trade credit and locational advantage – to gain competitive advantage. Using these strategies, a theoretical …


Us Open Tennis, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 2016

Us Open Tennis, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In London it is the Wimbledon Fortnight. What can be called simply “two weeks of damn good tennis” concluded this weekend at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center where the fourth and final Grand Slam event of the tennis season was contested. As it often does the U.S. Open produced some very high quality tennis, along with some “interesting” moments, and promising new, and not so new, faces arriving in the spotlight.

Business Buddies, Markila Hall Sep 2016

Business Buddies, Markila Hall

Student Scholarship

There was two parts to this group project. Although we had five people, the second part consisted of us dividing our group into sections. We had to interview one another so we could get the feel of both roles; the person being interviewed and the manger. The first part of the assignment consisted of myself and four other girls working with each other to create a paper. It was a single spaced two page paper that talked about our backgrounds and why we choose a business major. My major is mainly finance, but there was no option to just choose …

Thin But Not Anorexic: Copyright Protection For Compilations And Other Fact Works, David E. Shipley Sep 2016

Thin But Not Anorexic: Copyright Protection For Compilations And Other Fact Works, David E. Shipley

Georgia Journal of Law & Technology

Questions about the copyrightability of compilations and other low authorship fact works, and about the scope of protection, have continued to trouble courts long after the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Services Co. in 1991. Justice O'Connor's opinion, explaining why a standard white pages telephone directory did not meet the constitutional and statutory requirements for copyright protection, defined an original work of authorship as one that is independently created by its author and that evidences at least a minimal level of creativity. The latter requirement has been elusive, in part because Justice O'Connor defined …

The Changing Face Of A Religious City: Tourism And The Perceptional Modernisation Of A Host Community, Yasin Bilim, Ozgur Ozer Sep 2016

The Changing Face Of A Religious City: Tourism And The Perceptional Modernisation Of A Host Community, Yasin Bilim, Ozgur Ozer

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Tourism and its impacts on cultural or religious assets can be contentious issues for some communities, for other communities, however, tourism has been an important part of revenue production. Balancing the outcomes of tourism development is not an easy task particularly for religious sites. Some religious sites have recently become aware of tourism’s positive gains - not so long ago, many religous beliefs did not permit the use of religious values for commercial benefits. In particular, muslims do not allow the selling of religious assets as a form of commercial production. But ‘globalization’ and economic reasons have lead to the …


Walking Labyrinths : Spirituality, Religion And Wellness Tourism, Frances Mcgettigan Sep 2016

Walking Labyrinths : Spirituality, Religion And Wellness Tourism, Frances Mcgettigan

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage

Di Williams’s book Labyrinth - landscape of the soul. (2011) states that labyrinths have been known to the human race for well over 4000 years. They seem to have emerged and re-emerged in several time waves and in slightly differing forms throughout this period. The various forms of labyrinth have a long history, stretching back thousands of years. As a primeval archetype they occur in many parts of the world and in almost all religious traditions. The term is of ancient Greek origin, and the labyrinth in the palace of Knossos in Crete figures in Greek mythology. It is found …
