Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

اتجهت المجتمعات في الاونة الاخيرة الى تبني المعرفة في تعزيز وتقوية اقتصادياتها الامر الذي استوجب الاهتمام بالعنصر البشري . والمحاسبة بوصفها اداة مجتمعية لم تكن بعيده عن هذا الاهتمام فتفاعل المحاسبة مع التطورات التكنولوجية والمعرفة الاقتصادية من زاد اهتمامها بالعنصر البشري والموجودات غير الملموسة ، وهذا بدوره يتطلب القياس والإفصاح عن هذه الموجودات في صلب القوائم المالية بهدف تعزيز قراءة مستخدم القوائم المالية . اذ ان القوائم المالية تقتصر في القياس والإفصاح عن راس المال المادي ، وهنا يأتي البحث كمحاولة من الباحث لغرض الوصول الى محاسبية سليمة للقياس والإفصاح عن راس المال الفكري وكانت اهم النتائج التي توصل اليها: …

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

تشكل إدارة الموهبة إحدى التطورات الفكرية المعاصرة في الإدارة التي نالت الاهتمام الكبير من قبل بعض المنظمات بسبب تنامي التحديات التي تواجه منظمات الأعمال وشدة المنافسة القائمة , حيث باتت أدارة الموهبة ضرورة ملحة لتدعيم تنافسية المنظمات , وسرعان ما تحولت إلى ممارسة عملية أكثر ملاءمة للتغييرات المتسارعة في عالم الأعمال , وقد زاد الاهتمام بها بعد أن أدرك الكثيرون أن كسب الميزة التنافسية يعتمد أساساً على المواهب والمهارات التي يمتلكها الأفراد مما يعزز من الإبداع الذي هو أحد أسباب بقاء المنظمات وأستمرارها لأطول فترة ممكنة . ومن هنا جاءت الدراسة الحالية لمعرفة الدور ولتوضيح العلاقة وبيان التأثير بين المتغير …

How Do Ceos Matter? The Moderating Effects Of Ceo Compensation And Tenure On Equity Ownership In International Joint Ventures, Wanrong Hou, Sali Li, Richard L. Priem

Management Faculty Publications

We propose that CEO compensation and tenure moderate the relationship between multinational corporations' (MNCs) R&D intensities and their percentages of equity ownership in international joint ventures (IJVs). Transaction cost economics (TCE) suggests a positive relationship between MNC R&D intensity and IJV equity ownership, but this relationship has not been confirmed consistently in prior research. We examine the moderating effects of CEO compensation and tenure on the relationship between MNC R&D intensity and IJV equity ownership, thereby bringing more nuanced explanations from agency theory and upper echelons theory into the discussion. Our proposed relationships were tested using a sample of 202 …

Session 4-1-D: The Experience Of Lotto 6/49 And The Capacity To Trust: Elements For An Anthropology Of Gambling, Jocelyn Gadbois

International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking

Anthropologists study Lotto 6/49 as an experience.

Lévy-Bruhl tries to compare the magical beliefs of serious gamblers with the magical beliefs of individuals he refers to as the ‘‘primitives’’ (1924).

After that, Henslin studied the superstitions of St.Louis taxi drivers who play craps during their work breaks and compared them to Skinner’s pigeon (1967).

I wanted in my thesis to help anthropology to reconstruct lost knowledge regarding gambling and beliefs about magic in capitalist society.

Session 4-1-B: A Public Choice Perspective On The Progression Of Casino Gaming, Miao He, Ricardo Chi Sen Siu

International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking

Following the public choice literatures which explore the voting process to obtain an economic decision (Morton, 1991; Olson, 1965; Riker and Ordeshook, 1968; Stigler, 1974; etc.), a model is formulated in this paper to reveal the related forces which lead to the legalization/liberalization of casino gaming as a modern economic sector. It is shown that an individual’s decision to participate into a voting process or not is influenced by his/her anticipated benefit and cost. Then, the aggregate force of the beneficiary group and the anti-gaming group in standing for their own economic and emotional interests determines the voting result. Indeed, …

Concept Graphs: Applications To Biomedical Text Categorization And Concept Extraction, Said Bleik

Dissertations

As science advances, the underlying literature grows rapidly providing valuable knowledge mines for researchers and practitioners. The text content that makes up these knowledge collections is often unstructured and, thus, extracting relevant or novel information could be nontrivial and costly. In addition, human knowledge and expertise are being transformed into structured digital information in the form of vocabulary databases and ontologies. These knowledge bases hold substantial hierarchical and semantic relationships of common domain concepts. Consequently, automating learning tasks could be reinforced with those knowledge bases through constructing human-like representations of knowledge. This allows developing algorithms that simulate the human reasoning …

Bottled Water Logistics And Forecasting, Michael Galbreth, Matthew A. Waller, Christopher Vincent, David G. Hyatt

Wal-Mart Sustainability Case Project

CASE OVERVIEW This case presents an interesting and very real dilemma: In 2005, Walmart committed to selling “products that sustain people and the environment.” However, despite environmental and social concerns of the category that include energy required for transport and storage, the plastic used for bottling, the potential lack of purity due to chemicals leeching from the plastic, massive waste, and the cost relative to tap water, consumers want and continue to buy bottled water. Thus the espoused goals of the company are in seeming conflict with its business model. Bottled water is an item under public scrutiny, and producers …

Session 3-4-C: Are Lottery Players Affected By Random Shocks? Evidence From China’S Individual Lottery Betting Panel Data, Jia Yuan

International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking

I explore a unique, individual level, lottery betting panel data and show that lottery gambling is significantly affected by lottery winning history even though this winning history is shown to be merely an exogenous random shock. This panel data records lottery players’ collective lottery betting behaviors on a Chinese online lottery purchase website. This website lists each player’s lottery investment performance, the ratio between the lottery return and the lottery investment in the past three months, for lottery players’ reference and this ratio is shown to be an independent random shock across players. Based on the data with around 400,000 …

Session 3-4-B: Impacts Of The Structure Of The Casino Industry, William N. Thompson, Catherine Prentice

International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking

This paper looks at impacts of the structures of casino industries in 13 American states venues. The legalization of casinos has been a major policy issue in scores of national and sub-national venues over the past 60 years. Among the critical issues in the legalization process has been the subject of whether casino establishments should be authorized as singular, that is, monopoly, entities in a specific location (city, state, or nation) much as public utilities, or they should be licensed in an open market free competitive manner. A middle ground approach find venues allowing a limited number of licenses, ergo, …
