Small Business Development In Southern Africa, Nathan Feliz, Dr. Warner Woodworth
Small Business Development In Southern Africa, Nathan Feliz, Dr. Warner Woodworth
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The focus of my research was to observe the process of economic development at the grassroots level in Southern Africa. In Capetown, South Africa I found an organization that was working closely with marginalized youth in the townships and squatters camps. The Center For Opportunity Development (COD) works with youth, (ages 18-35), teaching business skills. The Center For Opportunity Development had just changed to a new approach of more practical learning when I joined with them. Instead of spending more time in the class room the thought was to get the students out working more. Each student would spend a …

The Process Of Social Media Migration Among Young Professionals: A Grounded Theory, Maria Hermosa, Frauke Hachtmann
The Process Of Social Media Migration Among Young Professionals: A Grounded Theory, Maria Hermosa, Frauke Hachtmann
College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to develop a theory that explains the process of social media migration among young professionals. The theoretical propositions that emerged from this qualitative study explain how different causal, intervening, and contextual conditions interact with and affect the phenomenon of social media migration. Internal and external pressures have an effect on young professionals’ decision to join new social media sites while abandoning others. Intervening and contextual conditions provide specific circumstances in which social media migration might occur. Integrating useful and organizational features to ease the use of social networks were important strategies in the process …

Pricing And Local-Content Decisions Of A Multinational Firm In A Duopoly Market, Nanqin Liu
Pricing And Local-Content Decisions Of A Multinational Firm In A Duopoly Market, Nanqin Liu
Lingnan Theses
The internationalization of production requires each multinational firm to determine the local content rate for his product that is made and sold in a foreign country. In this thesis, we investigate the local content rate and pricing decisions for a multinational firm who competes with a local firm in a market without and with a local content requirement (LCR). We develop and solve a two-stage decision problem in which the multinational firm determines his optimal local content rate and the two firms then make their pricing decisions. Our analytical results show that the multinational firm sets a lower local content …
How Does Asymmetric Information Relate To Investment Efficiency? Evidence From Analysts' Earnings Forecasts And Daily Stock Trading, Lingmin Xie
Lingnan Theses
The adverse selection and agency cost theories suggest that the informational transparency of a firm can help to reduce over- or under-investment. This thesis examines how information asymmetry influences firm-level investment efficiency for companies listed in the U.S. market from 1993 to 2009. Information asymmetry is measured by the dispersion and error of the earnings forecasts made by financial analysts. I investigate how information asymmetry affects firms’ proneness to overor under-invest and the firms’ deviations from the investment levels predicted by investment opportunities. To be consistent with the prior literature, I also use the volatility of daily stock returns and …
Institutional Stock Ownership And Corproate Dividend Policy : Evidence From China, Jianghua Shen
Institutional Stock Ownership And Corproate Dividend Policy : Evidence From China, Jianghua Shen
Lingnan Theses
Agency theory suggests that institutional stockholders are able to influence the dividend policies of listed firms with the underlying objective of reducing a firm’s agency costs. This study explores the causal effects of institutional ownership on dividend policies for the firms listed in China. Using various measures of institutional ownership and dividend policy, I find that mutual fund ownership in a firm causes it to pay out more cash dividends or to initiate cash dividends. These effects are mainly evident in the firms controlled by the state and regional governments and those with relatively high free cash flows. The effects …
Even Adults Like "Happy Meals", Steven D. Dolvin
Even Adults Like "Happy Meals", Steven D. Dolvin
All Chapters
Higher risk companies, in order to sell bonds at lower interest rates, must often attach "sweetners" to the bond offering. Historically this has included warrants or conversion options. Recently, however, some companies have offered a combination of bonds and a loan of the company's shares, a so-called "Happy Meal." The bond buyers subsequently sell the shares short. If the company fails, the investors lose on the bonds, but make a profit on the short sale. This strategy is typically employed by hedge funds. See article here, Wall Street Journal.

Innovation As Determining Factor Of Post-M&A Performance: The Case Of Vietnam, Quan Hoang Vuong, Nancy K. Napier, Donaldine E. Samson
International Business Program
This research aims to communicate new results of empirical investigations to learn about the relationship between determination of controlling an acquired firm’s capital, assets and brand versus its capability of innovation and ex post performance of Vietnam’s M&A industry in the 2005-2012 period. The analysis employs a categorical data sample, consisting of 212 M&A cases, and performs a number of logistic regressions with significant results being reported on relationships between pre-M&A strategic pursuit of innovation (versus capital/physical assets) of the acquired and post-M&A performance. In addition, pre-M&A capital expenditures tend to cause poor post-M&A performance. As a general conclusion, this …

An Osa Model For The Optometry Field, Conan C. Albrecht, Dr. Stephen W. Liddle
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Many health fields have progressed slowly in the area of computer systems. My research focused on these systems specifically on the optometry health field. Many problems exist with the current systems available to optometrists. This fact is evident by their current use; a survey of ten optometry offices revealed the following distribution:

A Categorical Data Analysis On Financial Failures In Vietnam, 2007-2013, Quan Hoang Vuong, Nancy K. Napier, Tri Dung Tran, Hong Kong T. Nguyen
International Business Program
In this paper, we examined 256 cases of financial failure and fraud occuring during the recent Vietnam’s chaotic years from 2007 to 2013, employing methods of categorical data analysis. Reported results suggest that the rent-seeking approach, or resource-based orientation, alone does not help explain the outcome of a business intention while the association between Orientation and Approach is the best-fit predictor. Rampant financial collapse not only increases the cost of funds but also erodes trust in the economy. Entrepreneurship development and creativity capacity building are necessary to improve socio-economic conditions and the environment. This work also introduces intuitive and cognitive …

Max Brooks’ 2006 novel, World War Z: An oral history of the zombie war presents an account of life in a post-apocalyptic world, from the perspective of those who lived through the experience. In the world [earth] of which Brooks speaks, there are people who, whether by personal preparedness, or pure chance, survived the apocalypse unscathed, and there are also those less fortunate, who were infected. The infected are in effect, reanimated corpses; referred to as Zed Heads (Zed, British for the letter Z), or, perhaps more familiar, ZOMBIES! The term zombie according to Brooks (2003) is “an animated corpse …

P/E Ratios, Steven D. Dolvin
All Chapters
Most investors know that the PE multiple is the ratio of price to earnings. While the market price is easy to agree upon, the earnings number that should be used in the ratio is not. Some investors prefer historical earnings, while others focus on forecasted earnings. Each of these approaches can provide widely different PE estimates, making comparison difficult. .
Anterior Pelvic Tilt As A Predictor For Hamstring Injury, Rachel Ploor
Anterior Pelvic Tilt As A Predictor For Hamstring Injury, Rachel Ploor
Student Theses and Dissertations
Hamstring injuries are a common occurrence in athletics and result in a significant amount of time lost from training and competition. Many factors have previously been proposed that may have the potential to increase an individuals' susceptibility of sustaining a hamstring injury including fatigue, flexibility, strength, and anterior pelvic tilt. Anterior pelvic tilt was correlated with the hamstrings to quadriceps ratio at the knee and hip. Eight, Division I track and field athletes were assessed for anterior pelvic tilt and hamstrings to quadriceps ratio at the knee and hip. Over the course of the season, none of the participants sustained …

Encouraging Entrepreneurship: Microfinance, Knowledge Support, And The Costs Of Operating In Institutional Voids, Subrata Chakrabarty, A. Erin Bass
Marketing and Management Faculty Publications
This study focuses on the supplemented strategies of microfinance institutions (MFIs), in which the MFI offers nonfinancial services, such as entrepreneurship related knowledge, in addition to financial services to impoverished borrowers at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP). We examine two contextual factors–foreign direct investment (FDI) and loan defaults–to better understand the relationship between providing knowledge support to encourage entrepreneurship and costs of operating at the BoP for MFIs. In contexts where FDI is low and loan defaults are high, providing knowledge support to encourage entrepreneurship aggravates the MFI's costs of operating at the BoP. However, in contexts where FDI …
