Big Data Customer Knowledge Management, Joseph O. Chan

Communications of the IIMA

Knowledge management (KM) and customer relationship management (CRM) are dominant strategies for value creation for businesses in the new economy. Customer knowledge management (CKM) results in the merging of KM and CRM, where the knowledge management process is applied to customer knowledge, and customer knowledge is applied to customer relationship management operations. With the emergence of big data as the latest phase in the evolution of technology in business, CKM strategies need to be adjusted to meet the new challenges, changing from an internal organizational focus to new external channels such as social media and machine communications. This paper explores …

Effects Of Exposure To Anthropomorphized Products On Social Behavior, Wade Wade, Dr. Ryan Elder

Journal of Undergraduate Research

This project was designed to investigate the effects of exposure to anthropomorphized products on the way that consumers treat other people. Researchers have shown that people starved of social connectedness will sometimes seek relationships with products or brands as a way of relieving social insecurity and the fear of death (Rindfleisch, Burroughs & Wong, 2009). Additional research has shown that people whose needs for social interaction have been satisfied are more likely to dehumanize distant others (Waytz & Epley, 2012). We thus reasoned that anthropomorphism of brands and products, while efficacious for improving the consumer’s sense of social connectedness, might …

The Power Of Progress In Positive Identity Work, Rolf David Dixon Jr., Jeff Bednar

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The retention of employees is a major financial and cultural concern for almost all organizations. As a result, the study of voluntary turnover has a rich history in the domain of organizational behavior. We believe that this research has at least two blind spots that create an opportunity for new inquiry and insight. First, the nature of the employment contract between employees and organizations has changed over time. Employment in previous decades was largely founded on expectations of a long-term employment in one organization, however, in more recent years, this view of careers has been replaced with the notion that …

Managing Risk And Uncertainty In Supply Chains In The Face Of The Current Global Realities, Gurkan Ibrahim Akalin

Information Systems & Operations Management Dissertations - Archive

For the last two decades, there has been an increasing academic and practitioner interest in understanding uncertainty and risks, identifying their sources, and managing, reducing and mitigating them in supply chains (SCs). Many sources of risk are already identified and grouped, and some good methods to reduce or cope with them have been described as well. However, literature has not been profound yet. Indeed, certain types of risk sources lack practical definitions and/or effective management techniques (Prater, 2005; Simangunsong et al., 2012). The financial crises of national economies in the late 2000s followed by a global recession (2008-2012) have escalated …
