The Impact Of Unionization On University Performance: A Cross-Sectional Time Series Analysis, Mark K. Cassell Aug 2013

The Impact Of Unionization On University Performance: A Cross-Sectional Time Series Analysis, Mark K. Cassell

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

In 1968 the union movement in higher education was launched on the CUNY campuses in New York when CUNY held the first academic labor union election on an “integrated, heterogeneous, multi-campus system” (Ladd and Lipset 1973). In the nearly five decades since that historic election, unionization has grown to cover more than a third of all public four-year institutions and 40 percent of faculty at those public institutions (see Figure 1). While unionization is more common at larger institutions, Figure 1 illustrates that even among the smallest public institutions, unionization has increased over time.

The Effects Of Inflation On Businesses In Brazil, Brian Morgan, Dr. Lee Radebaugh Aug 2013

The Effects Of Inflation On Businesses In Brazil, Brian Morgan, Dr. Lee Radebaugh

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The grant I received has helped me write an honors thesis entitled, “The Effects of Inflation on Businesses in Brazil.” For many years now, Brazil has been plagued with high levels of inflation. Although small amounts of inflation can help an economy grow, inflation in Brazil has often exceeded such small amounts. Now, a new economic plan has been introduced which has cut inflation dramatically. My honors thesis focused on the effects of the constantly changing economic environment on businesses within Brazil.

Family Histories And Genealogies Over The Internet: What Is Now Available, Thomas O. Meservy, Dr. Rayman D. Meservy Aug 2013

Family Histories And Genealogies Over The Internet: What Is Now Available, Thomas O. Meservy, Dr. Rayman D. Meservy

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The objective of my research is to determine how to effectively organize and distribute family histories and genealogies over the Internet. I am interfacing the genealogical files using the PAF standard, which was produced by the LDS church, onto the Internet. The information and standards which are available on the Internet are being combined with the most effective method of producing a user-friendly front end to provide an ideal system for genealogical exchange, distribution, and collaboration.

Exchange Consolidation, Steven D. Dolvin Aug 2013

Exchange Consolidation, Steven D. Dolvin

All Chapters

BATS and Direct Edge, two large electronic exchanges, are merging to form the second largest exchange operator in the United States, taking over the ranking currently held by Nasdaq. This change exhibits the transformation of the industry toward electronic trading. While electronic increases speed and likely lowers trading costs, it doesn't come without risks, as the recent Nasdaq outage illustrates. See article here, Wall Street Journal.


Thorpe, Herbert C., 1873-1904 (Sc 2764), Manuscripts & Folklife Archives Aug 2013

Thorpe, Herbert C., 1873-1904 (Sc 2764), Manuscripts & Folklife Archives

Manuscript Collection Finding Aids

Finding aid only for Manuscripts Small Collection 2764. Letters of Herbert C. Thorpe, General Manager and Assistant Treasurer, United States Gas, Coal, and Coke Company, to his wife and father. Writing from Sturgis and Paducah soon after his arrival in Kentucky from New Jersey, Thorpe describes the stresses of his new management responsibilities and the challenges to the company in the event of a miners’ strike, and criticizes the work ethic of the miners. Thorpe died in Paducah of typhoid fever on 31 July 1904.


The Learning Advantage: The Effect Of Operational Focus On The Rate Of Organizational Learning, Jeffrey Savage, Dr. Peter Madsen Aug 2013

The Learning Advantage: The Effect Of Operational Focus On The Rate Of Organizational Learning, Jeffrey Savage, Dr. Peter Madsen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My ORCA project is primarily focused on organizational learning. I am working closely with Peter Madsen, my mentor, to gather data and find supporting literature. Our hypothesis is that strategic focus will increase the rate at which organizations learn. In a nuclear power plant, this can be measured by the number of delays for maintenance that occur in a plant. We hypothesize that organizations that operate in a narrowly defined domain will learn faster than other companies in that domain, even if they have the same level of aggregate experience. This topic is currently under debate in the management literature; …


Examining The Relationship Between Expected Market Returns And Political Variables Using Generalized Method Of Moments Procedures, Ian Wright, Dr. Keith Vorkink Aug 2013

Examining The Relationship Between Expected Market Returns And Political Variables Using Generalized Method Of Moments Procedures, Ian Wright, Dr. Keith Vorkink

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Investors, economists and financial analysts are constantly seeking to develop models that may help them learn what the stock market will do and how it functions. They do this so that they may take advantage of any market anomalies as soon as they appear and try to make “easy money.” Various pricing models (see Sharpe (1964), Litner (1965) and Fama and French (1993) for example1) have been and continue to be constructed that try to predict returns, and variables suspected to be correlated with returns have been included in these models in an attempt to determine specific predictors of returns.

“Working To Put Food On The Table”: Fractured Identities And Mission Drift In A South African Nonprofit Organization, Eric C. Darsow, Dr. Christopher Meek, Dr. Warner Woodworth Aug 2013

“Working To Put Food On The Table”: Fractured Identities And Mission Drift In A South African Nonprofit Organization, Eric C. Darsow, Dr. Christopher Meek, Dr. Warner Woodworth

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) face a tradeoff between activities which further their mission and those which generate revenue to pay salaries and bills. For many NPOs, management’s increasing attention to cash flow suppresses the organization’s service-oriented mission and alienates staff. This ORCA grant funded a case study of this phenomenon at RSEF, a small development NPO in South Africa. I use organizational identity theory to explore ways in which a loss of mission focus affects how staff identify with their work, and how decreased identification impacts the organization’s ability to serve society. By understanding the relationship between job commitment, organizational identification, …


Financial Literacy Amongst University Students, Adam Trone, Dr. James Brau Aug 2013

Financial Literacy Amongst University Students, Adam Trone, Dr. James Brau

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My interest in financial literacy and my decision to pursue an ORCA grant in this subject began in the fall of 2007. Many remember the upheaval that devastated financial markets beginning at this time. This upheaval is not just a memory because similar economic and financial conditions continue to this day. As a casual observer of this crisis as shown on the news, I began to think. I began to think about my own finances, saving for retirement, taxes, and the job market. These thoughts never became a serious bother but I was mildly concerned. I began to realize that …

Management As A Liberal Art (Seattle), C. William Pollard

C. William Pollard Papers

In these opening remarks recorded for a fall seminar at Seattle Pacific University, Pollard outlines Peter Drucker's theory of management as a liberal art and details the ways in which it was implemented in the ServiceMaster organization. He also notes why such a vision is important for contemporary management education.
