Missouri, Richard C. Crepeau Sep 2015

Missouri, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

On Monday the protests on the campus of the University of Missouri came to their climax with the resignation of Tim Wolfe the president of the Missouri system, and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin of the Columbia campus. For the past several months students have been protesting a range of arbitrary and unpopular actions initiated by President Wolfe. African American students contributed the charge of “racial insensitivity’ to the growing list of complaints about President Wolfe.


Logistics Service Provider-Client Relationship: Comparing U.S.A And Brazil, Harash Sachdev, G. Russ Merz, Paulo Fernando Pinto Barcellos, Margareth Rodrigues De Carvalho Borella Sep 2015

Logistics Service Provider-Client Relationship: Comparing U.S.A And Brazil, Harash Sachdev, G. Russ Merz, Paulo Fernando Pinto Barcellos, Margareth Rodrigues De Carvalho Borella

Atlantic Marketing Journal

This research compares organization structure and market-based capabilities of American and Brazilian Logistics Service Providers in their respective countries. Using the resource based view, the authors propose that a LSP’s organization structure influences its service capabilities, which in turn will influence satisfaction and performance. The results indicate that the individual models hold true in their respective countries. Autonomy enhanced LSP’s capabilities in the areas of information sharing, logistics service, and customer service in both models. Formalization improved logistics and customer services in the Brazilian case, but only logistics services in the U.S. case. Unlike the U.S. model, service capabilities did …


Yielding To Temptation In Buying: Is It Simply A Matter Of Self-Control?, James A. Roberts, Luc Honore Petnji Yaya, Carol Gwin Sep 2015

Yielding To Temptation In Buying: Is It Simply A Matter Of Self-Control?, James A. Roberts, Luc Honore Petnji Yaya, Carol Gwin

Atlantic Marketing Journal

Why do consumers yield to temptation? This article looks at two increasingly common types of consumer behavior: impulse buying (IB) and compulsive buying (CB). Specifically, we investigate the impact of self-control (SC), core self-evaluations (CSE), and satisfaction with life (SWL) on these enigmatic consumer behaviors. First, the article develops the distinctions and commonalities between IB and CB. Then, through evaluation of student and general adult samples, the impact of the above three variables on IB and CB is empirically tested. Findings suggest that SC does negatively impact both IB and CB but its relationship with these two behaviors varies across …


An Attitudinal Analysis Of Preventive Health Care Information Users: With Insights From Social Media, Joseph D. Cangelosi, David Kim, Edward Ranelli Sep 2015

An Attitudinal Analysis Of Preventive Health Care Information Users: With Insights From Social Media, Joseph D. Cangelosi, David Kim, Edward Ranelli

Atlantic Marketing Journal

As the U.S. health care system continues to restructure itself, an increased emphasis on preventive health care will be a very important component. It is vital that preventive health care information (PHCI) be readily accessible and applied. This research explores the impact of social media as a source for accessing PHCI. Specifically, it examines how individuals rate active vs. passive internet delivery systems (IDS) to gather PHCI. Results of the study indicated that online health forums (active IDS) were the most popular source of PHCI, whereas Facebook and Twitter were most unpopular. On the whole, accessing PHCI via active IDS …


Revising The Conceptual Foundations Of Attitude Formation In The E-Marketing Era, Amy H. Handlin Sep 2015

Revising The Conceptual Foundations Of Attitude Formation In The E-Marketing Era, Amy H. Handlin

Atlantic Marketing Journal

Abstract – This paper revisits four seminal models of how marketing influences attitudes: mood mediation, cognitive response generation, situational parameters, and task mediation. Extensions of each model, as well as a new summary model, are proposed based on research into online consumer behavior. The author integrates the models along various dimensions which are relevant to particular e-marketing issues, and identifies certain challenges to attitude formation research in this setting.

Beyond Downton Abbey: Remembering The Great War’S Fallen Through Education And Marketing, Nina M. Ray, Andrew T. Mink

Atlantic Marketing Journal

This paper explores the expanding marketing and education mission of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). Superintendents at overseas cemeteries and battle sites must continue their job of “keeping the headstones white and the grass green” but also must market specific events such as the 70th anniversary of D-Day at the Normandy location and an upcoming 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War in 2018. Part of the effort is passing the memory on to the next generation via materials relevant to young people today. U.S. history teachers who received ABMC grants to travel to Meuse-Argonne …


Net Transaction Value: A Model Of High-Involvement Decision-Making In Buyer Choice Behavior, Blaine J. Branchik Phd, Eric H. Shaw Phd Sep 2015

Net Transaction Value: A Model Of High-Involvement Decision-Making In Buyer Choice Behavior, Blaine J. Branchik Phd, Eric H. Shaw Phd

Atlantic Marketing Journal

This study proposes Net Transaction Value (NTV), a unified theory of buyer decision-making. NTV hypothesizes that a buyer makes an implicit and subjective calculation before making a purchase in a high involvement context. In making this calculation, the buyer deducts the costs anticipated from a transaction or transaction stream from its associated benefits. In contrast to prior value equal benefits minus cost models, the NTV model conceptually expands, operationally defines, and empirically tests two types of benefits and costs. Benefits in the NTV equation reflect not only those derived from the product or service offering itself, but also from the …

The Genesis Of The Graziadio School Of Business And Management: A Little Department At A Small Liberal Arts College Transforms Into A Nimble, Notable School At A Dynamic, Expanding University, Edward Rockey

GSBM Faculty Scholarship

At Pepperdine College, during the mid-1960’s, a small Department of Business Administration and Economics, with only three full-time faculty members and two “Auxiliary” faculty, began to grow into what is now known as the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University. This document about the beginnings of what became GSBM does not attempt to be an exhaustive history. Covering the period of the mid-1960’s and then the 1968- 78 deanship of Donald R. Sime, it focuses primarily on such aspects as: The school’s energetic, entrepreneurial dynamics; its remarkable growth in a short period of time; and its distinctive …

Loss Aversion, Adaptive Beliefs, And Asset Pricing Dynamics, Kamal Samy Selim Prof, Ahmed Eltabee Okasha Dr., Heba M. Ezzat Dr. Sep 2015

Loss Aversion, Adaptive Beliefs, And Asset Pricing Dynamics, Kamal Samy Selim Prof, Ahmed Eltabee Okasha Dr., Heba M. Ezzat Dr.

Business Administration

We study asset pricing dynamics in artificial financial markets model. The financial market is populated with agents following two heterogeneous trading beliefs, the technical and the fundamental prediction rules. Agents switch between trading rules with respect to their past performance. The agents are loss averse over asset price fluctuations. Loss aversion behaviour depends on the past performance of the trading strategies in terms of an evolutionary fitness measure. We propose a novel application of the prospect theory to agent-based modelling, and by simulation, the effect of evolutionary fitness measure on adaptive belief system is investigated. For comparison, we study pricing …

Egyptian Teachers’ Burnout: The Role Of Work Environment Characteristics And Job Stress, Sahar Mohamed Badawy Sep 2015

Egyptian Teachers’ Burnout: The Role Of Work Environment Characteristics And Job Stress, Sahar Mohamed Badawy

Business Administration

Recent research has pinpointed the serious effects of job burnout on both personal life and productivity in work. Yet, there is a gap in the research directed to service professions in developing countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between work environment, stress and burnout within the Egyptian context. The research proposes that stress mediates the relationship between work environment characteristics and burnout. An explanatory model was tested for the hypothesized relationships. The study was conducted on 325 Egyptian teachers with a response rate of 79.9% (250 teacher).The proposed model included 10 work environment components measured …

The Role Of Gender And Geographic Factors In Virtual Team Communication Media Technology Selection With Respect To Coordination And Information Quality Needs, Jerry D. Wood Sep 2015

The Role Of Gender And Geographic Factors In Virtual Team Communication Media Technology Selection With Respect To Coordination And Information Quality Needs, Jerry D. Wood

Theses and Dissertations

Research on virtual teams and how they function has become an important topic. This is due to organizations ever-increasing use of teams of globally dislocated employees, or virtual teams, to collaborate on projects to not only cut costs, but also create products that can be marketed and sold globally. Virtual team members need to share data to coordinate their efforts to meet those goals. To help reduce costs and improve speed, management often requires employees to use computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies, such as email, to share data. When employees work within a virtual team, they are frequently required to collaborate …
