Cattle As A Consistently Resilient Agricultural Commodity, Robert Powell, Duc H. Vo, Thach N. Pham

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study compares a range of agricultural commodities over periods of varying economic circumstances. These commodities are examined over three categories, including returns, risk, and contribution to portfolio optimisation. Consistency in these categories is determined over four equal three-year stages which comprise pre-GFC (Global Financial Crisis), GFC, post-GFC and post-post GFC. To demonstrate resilience in the most extreme circumstances, the study uses Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), which measures extreme risk in the tail of a distribution, as the risk measure and risk-return optimiser. The study thus provides a unique and comprehensive extreme-risk based focus which identifies and ranks the …

Comparative Analysis Of The Seafaring Career Persistence Of Nautical Post-Baccalaureate And College Students, Cheng-Kuo Sung, Jiunn-Liang Guo, Chung-Chieh Ku, Wei-Chieh Chen, Je-Min Pan, Huei-Jhou Chang, Hui-Chun Chang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

To foster more maritime human resources, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education began to approve the establishment of nautical post-baccalaureate programs at three maritime universities in 2010. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the seafaring career persistence of nautical post-baccalaureate students and college students. Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) served as the research perspective, and data were collected through a questionnaire survey on persistence in the seafaring profession. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). This study revealed that seafaring career persistence, self-efficacy, and positive outcome expectation for seafaring careers were significantly higher among the post-baccalaureate students than …

Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making With Multilevel Criteria To Evaluate Retailer Financial Performance For Supply Chain Management, Yu-Jie Wang, Tzeu-Chen Han

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Retailers are important components in a supply chain because they are closer to the end users than are other industrial processes of the chain. Therefore, retailer selection must be carefully examined, especially when considering the financial performance of supply chain management. Generally, the evaluation of retailer financial performance in a vague and uncertain environment is based on multilevel criteria. In the past, many researchers, including Chen, Liang, Raj and Kumar, Wang and Lee, and Chou, proposed models under uncertain environments to evaluate fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) problems. They evaluated FMCDM problems based on a single level, and resolved the ties …

How And When Is Self-Efficacy Related To Entrepreneurial Intentions: Exploring The Role Of Entrepreneurial Outcome Expectations And Subjective Norms, Susana C. Santos, Eric Liguori

Rohrer College of Business Departmental Research

This study investigates how and when general self-efficacy is related to entrepreneurial intentions. We propose that entrepreneurial outcome expectations function as a mediator in this relationship, while subjective norms act as a moderator. Using a sample of 1052 students from U.S. Public Universities, we tested a moderated mediation model. Results showed that general self-efficacy is positively related to entrepreneurial intentions through the mediating effect of entrepreneurial outcome expectations, and that this relationship is significantly positive for individuals with favourable subjective norms towards entrepreneurship, while significantly negative for individuals with less favourable subjective norms. These findings contribute to literatures on entrepreneurial …

Big 4 Office Personnel And Audit Quality, Jacob Gatlin

PhD in Business Administration Dissertations

Because U.S. Big 4 audit quality is inconsistent between office locations within the same firm, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has maintained a standing Audit Quality Indicator Project designed to assist academics, practitioners, and its own inspection teams in identifying specific areas in which high audit quality may fail to be achieved. While many of the PCAOB audit quality indicators have been examined in prior research, information regarding the personnel comprising each office audit department has been difficult to glean because personnel data is not publicly disclosed by the Big 4.

This study examines certain personnel inputs and …

The Impact Of Internal Auditors' Professional And Social Affiliations On Financial Reporting Quality, Reanna Berry

PhD in Business Administration Dissertations

The internal audit function is a critical component of strong corporate governance, along with firm management, the audit committee, and the external auditor (Hermanson & Rittenberg, 2003; Gramling, Maletta, Schneider, & Church, 2004). A potential threat to this strong corporate governance is professional and social affiliations. Accordingly, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX, 2002) limits some professional affiliations among management, the audit committee, and the external auditor (S206; S301), but only provides one limitation related to the internal auditor, which is that an external auditor cannot simultaneously provide internal audit consulting services to its audit client (S201(a)). Professional and social affiliations among …

Trends In The Study Of Indirect Procurement, Daniel Israel

Honors Theses

Indirect procurement has largely been ignored in scholarly research due to only representing a small portion of a firm’s expenditures, and suffers from a confusing nomenclature that makes drawing conclusions difficult. However, indirect procurement is a diverse and crucial component of purchasing that allows for sustainable competitive advantages and reduced costs, if managed properly. By performing a keyword search in the ABI/INFORM database, we analyzed, consolidated, and summarized the current areas of research as it pertains to indirect procurement. We also identified suggested further areas of research, as educated by our previous analysis. We find that the majority of the …
