Rapid Experimentation: The Silicon Valley Method Of Success, Ralph E. Mckinney, Ben Eng, Olen York
Entrepreneurship Faculty Research
The methodology of rapid experimentation focuses on discovering a problem’s solutions through leap-offaith assumptions that will delight the end users. Rapid experimentation has been used by Silicon Valley in developing products and services that have excited consumers and changed business expectations. Developers need to have high functioning team members that are open to new experiences and that can deliver experiences to customers from products and services that not only exceed customer expectations, but delight them. In this paper, we present a case using this Silicon Valley methodology of rapid experimentation in solving the problem of substance abuse. We reflect on …

We each have a few defining moments in our lives; moments that shape and change us in ways we can’t predict or quantify. The Marketing Analytics Summit created one of those defining moments for my team and I. We spent the last month working long hours analyzing data, pushing ourselves to the limit, and stretching our minds to new bounds as we prepared our strategy and presentation for the summit. We learned more in that time then we ever had in our cumulative years of undergraduate education. We were able to pull concepts and frameworks from our various courses and …

Why 'Primary Care' Patients Go To Emergency Departments: Demographic Profile And Reasons For Presentation, Peter M. Siminski, Andrew J. Bezzina, Kathy Eagar
Why 'Primary Care' Patients Go To Emergency Departments: Demographic Profile And Reasons For Presentation, Peter M. Siminski, Andrew J. Bezzina, Kathy Eagar
Kathy Eagar
This paper investigates why (potential) primary care patients attend an ED rather than a GP. An understanding of why patients make decisions such as this is critical if the health system is to be better positioned to meet the increasing demand for improved services and outcomes. We found that the rate of potential primary care presentations varies greatly by age and by sex and that the pattern of primary care presentations is different to that of other ED presentations. In relation to reasons, we found that, regardless of age or sex, the top three reasons were self-assessed urgency; being able …

The Impact Of Three Interfaces For 360-Degree Video On Spatial Cognition, Wutthigrai Boonsuk, Stephen B. Gilbert, Jonathan W. Kelly
The Impact Of Three Interfaces For 360-Degree Video On Spatial Cognition, Wutthigrai Boonsuk, Stephen B. Gilbert, Jonathan W. Kelly
Wutthigrai Boonsuk
In this paper, we describe an experiment designed to evaluate the effectiveness of three interfaces for surveillance or remote control using live 360-degree video feeds from a person or vehicle in the field. Video feeds are simulated using a game engine. While locating targets within a 3D terrain using a 2D 360-degree interface, participants indicated perceived egocentric directions to targets and later placed targets on an overhead view of the terrain. Interfaces were compared based on target finding and map placement performance. Results suggest 1) nonseamless interfaces with visual boundaries facilitate spatial understanding, 2) correct perception of self-to-object relationships is …

Standardizing The Presentation Of Financial Data: Does Xbrl's Taxonomy Affect The Investment Performance Of Nonprofessional Investors?, Cassy D. Henderson
Standardizing The Presentation Of Financial Data: Does Xbrl's Taxonomy Affect The Investment Performance Of Nonprofessional Investors?, Cassy D. Henderson
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is mandated in the United States with the intention of making financial information more useful and easier to analyze. XBRL technology defines financial information, and when implemented as intended, has the ability to standardize the items presented in the financial statements. Standardizing financial information is likely to benefit investors by simplifying the acquisition and integration of the information. Nonprofessional investors have limited knowledge and experience analyzing financial statements and are likely to benefit from a standardized presentation format. Using 167 graduate business students as proxies for nonprofessional investors, the current study examines how standardizing the …

Demystifying The Legend Of Resistance To Change, Hamid Tahbaz Tavakoli, Nader Ale Ebrahim, Arash Golnam
Nader Ale Ebrahim
Nothing is permanent except change. Many authors stress that the reason for the failure of many change initiatives can be found in resistance to change. Resistance to change introduces costs and delays into the change process that are difficult to anticipate but must be taken into consideration. Undoubtedly the resistance to change is key topic in change management and should be seriously considered to help the organization achieve advantages of the transformation. Considering the importance of resistance to change, this paper aims to delve deeper in this field through theoretical exposition of the concept, elaborating more on the literature involving …

Similar to other business models, R&D systems are characterized by complex structure and dynamic behavior.
