An Alternative Strategy For Building Sales Of Computers: Generic Advertising, Min Lu, Steven M. Thompson, Yanbin Tu
An Alternative Strategy For Building Sales Of Computers: Generic Advertising, Min Lu, Steven M. Thompson, Yanbin Tu
Management Faculty Publications
Frequent upgrading and aggressive price-cutting have become standard practice in the computer sector. While necessitated in part by declining production costs and a highly competitive market, these strategies have also served to make computers more affordable, growing the size of the overall market. Recently downturns in the sales of computers motivate us to examine the impact of these strategies on overall sales growth. We find evidence to suggest that excessive upgrading and overly aggressive price-cutting can be detrimental to overall sales growth. We also find that the computer sector exhibits characteristics that suggest that generic advertising would be an effective …
From Workout To Winning, Bridget Lyons, Robert Hardy
From Workout To Winning, Bridget Lyons, Robert Hardy
WCBT Faculty Publications
Over the past three years, executives at General Electric (GE) have taught administrators at Sacred Heart University, located in Fairfield, CT, how to use the workout technique to identify and improve inefficient institutional processes and practices. This article will explain how Sacred Heart implemented the workout process, with a particular emphasis on factors contributing to successful workouts and the issues nonprofits encounter. GE has credited the workout with both improving processes and empowering the workforce. The workout, which has led to accelerated change and enhanced Six Sigma efforts, begins with identifying a problem. Many at GE note that the workout …

Template Use And The Effectiveness Of Knowledge Transfer, Robert J. Jensen, Gabriel Szulanski
Template Use And The Effectiveness Of Knowledge Transfer, Robert J. Jensen, Gabriel Szulanski
Faculty Publications
This paper is a direct empirical examination of the fundamental claim that use of templates enhances the effectiveness of knowledge transfer. We explore the effect of template use through an eight-year, in-depth field investigation of Rank Xerox (now Xerox Europe). The field investigation covers three sequential transfer efforts in 15 western European countries. The investigation reveals a naturally occurring, repeated-treatment quasi experiment that allows us to test the hypothesis that the use of templates enhances the effectiveness of knowledge transfer. "Observation" in this experiment measure the extent of adoption and performance of the practice at the recipient units. The "treatment" …
Service Feature Considerations For Developing Consumer Satisfaction In Online Environments, Matthew J. Gymer
Service Feature Considerations For Developing Consumer Satisfaction In Online Environments, Matthew J. Gymer
Student Scholarship
Self-service technologies (SSTs) and customer-vendor participation (co-production) are important features in the service encounter, yet there is much to learn about these service features relationship to customer satisfaction. The literature is rich with evidence of SSTs importance to forming customer satisfaction, but there is scant empirical evidence pointing to the role of co-production in forming customer satisfaction in online service encounters. It is hypothesized that within the online service encounter, features of co-production are significant predictors of customer satisfaction. Survey data show that customers differentiate the service features of co-production from the service features of SSTs. Furthermore, these two service …
Information Opacity, Credit Risk, And The Design Of Loan Contracts For Private Firms, Lucy Ackert, Rongbing Huang, Gabriel G. Ramirez
Information Opacity, Credit Risk, And The Design Of Loan Contracts For Private Firms, Lucy Ackert, Rongbing Huang, Gabriel G. Ramirez
Faculty Articles
This paper examines the structure and cost of a large sample of bank loans to private firms. Compared to public firms, private firms are more informationally opaque and riskier. The results suggest that the design of a loan to a private firm is significantly different from that to a public firm. Bank loans to private firms are more likely to be by a sole lender, collateralized, and have sweep covenants than loans to public firms. The cost of borrowing is higher for a private firm than for a public firm, even after holding constant firm and loan characteristics.

The Association Between Corporate Governance And Audit Fees, Cindy K. Harris
The Association Between Corporate Governance And Audit Fees, Cindy K. Harris
Business and Economics Faculty Publications
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) established not only corporate governance reform but also legislated significant changes to the practice of auditing publicly held corporations. Rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) further reinforced stronger corporate governance standards. The effect of these reforms on the cost of public audits is indisputable: the initial rise in audit fees was dramatic as corporations complied with the new provisions. This paper examines the relationship between corporate governance characteristics and audit fees for a random sample of 100 publicly traded corporations drawn from the 2005 Fortune 500 list. The data is obtained …

The Empirical Verification Of Becker's Theory Of Discrimination: What Have We Learned?, Harlan M. Smith Ii
The Empirical Verification Of Becker's Theory Of Discrimination: What Have We Learned?, Harlan M. Smith Ii
Economics Faculty Research
For over 30 years now empirical research on racial discrimination in the workplace has been defined by, and focused on, Becker's insight The literature is now extensive, highly technical, and to some extent fragmented-as groups of analysts have concentrated on different aspects of the problem. This paper is intended to be a "primer" on this work for the nonspecialist who wants to get up to speed on, or possibly begin contributing to, this line of research. In what follows, therefore, I highlight some of the important articles, key methodological advances, and central results that have been obtained to date. More …
Semester Project For Engineering Management, Paul Savory
Semester Project For Engineering Management, Paul Savory
Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Instructional Materials
This is the semester-project for my IMSE 405/805 course on Engineering Management at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This team-based project required students to develop an operational plan (facility layout, required staffing, company operating policies, company benefits program) for a specified product.
Product Complexity: A Definition And Impacts On Operations, Mark A. Jacobs
Product Complexity: A Definition And Impacts On Operations, Mark A. Jacobs
MIS/OM/DS Faculty Publications
The difficulty for organizations arises because neither complexity nor its impacts on performance are well understood (Fisher & Ittner, 1999b). The mechanisms through which it affects cost, quality, delivery, and flexibility need to be explained (Ramdas, 2003). However, this cannot happen until complexity can be explained theoretically. But, to build theory there must first be a common understanding about the construct of interest (Wacker, 2004). Only then can researchers operationalize it and search for meaningful relationships. In light of this, I develop a definition of complexity below. A sampling of the operations management literature is then presented within the context …
Abusive Supervision, Upward Maintenance Communication, And Subordinates' Psychological Distress, Bennett J. Tepper, Sherry E. Moss, Daniel E. Lockhart, Jon C. Carr
Abusive Supervision, Upward Maintenance Communication, And Subordinates' Psychological Distress, Bennett J. Tepper, Sherry E. Moss, Daniel E. Lockhart, Jon C. Carr
Faculty Publications
This study reanalyzes data from Tepper's (2000) two-wave study regarding the effects of subordinates' perceptions of supervisory abuse to assess previously unexamined relationships. As predicted, we found that subordinates who more rather than less strongly perceived that they had been abused by supervisors tended to use regulative maintenance tactics with higher frequency. Further, the positive relationship between abusive supervision and subordinates' psychological distress was exacerbated by subordinates' use of regulative maintenance communications, and that relationship was reduced by subordinates' use of direct maintenance communication. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
An Assessment Of Factors Affecting Fleet Fuel Performance, Carlo D. Smith, John L. Kent, Cory J. Roberts
An Assessment Of Factors Affecting Fleet Fuel Performance, Carlo D. Smith, John L. Kent, Cory J. Roberts
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business
Improving fuel performance in all modes of transportation is becoming more important as fuel prices increase and concerns over environmental issues rise. This is particularly relevant in the class 8 motor carrier sector which accounts for the majority of fuel consumption among all classes of motor freight movement. The present study evaluated the extent that existing technologies, systems and policies designed to improve fuel efficiency have been and are expected to be adopted by current class 8 fleets. Results suggest that while many of the efforts of suppliers to the industry are focused on new technologies, there remains an opportunity …
Open Innovation And Strategy, Henry W. Chesbrough, Melissa M. Appleyard
Open Innovation And Strategy, Henry W. Chesbrough, Melissa M. Appleyard
Business Faculty Publications and Presentations
The article discusses a process of business innovation known as open innovation and its relation to traditional business strategy. The competitive strategy developed by Michael Porter emphasized rivalry, buyer power, and barriers to entry as forces that could enhance a producer's surplus. The authors discuss the impact of the Porterian value chain, the processes of production through to the consumer, on subsequent business practices. However, this theory does not account for external sources of value to a company, such as innovation communities, volunteer contributors and surrounding networks, including social networking web sites, open source software and the Wiki model of …
Developing A Managerial Plan To Guide The Planning Process For Charity Events, Nicole Molina
Developing A Managerial Plan To Guide The Planning Process For Charity Events, Nicole Molina
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The purpose of this paper was to develop a managerial plan to guide the planning process for charity events. A guideline was developed, tested and refined based on a case study of the Prostate Cancer Foundation charity held in October, 2007 at Wynn Las Vegas. A strategy arose from an adaptation of the standard business plans outlined by the Small Business Administration. The resulting business plan, detailed event checklist and timeline will be a guiding tool when planning other charity events.
The Impact Of Operations Capability On Firm Performance, K. C. Tan, Vijay R. Kannan, R. Narasimhan
The Impact Of Operations Capability On Firm Performance, K. C. Tan, Vijay R. Kannan, R. Narasimhan
Management Faculty Publications
We propose that a firm's operations capability is manifested through its new product design and development, just-in-time, and quality-management efforts. Moreover, we propose that operations capability, so defined, directly and positively impacts firm performance. Survey data were used to independently calibrate and validate a structural equation model linking operations capability, a second-order construct, to firm performance. Results provide support for the model and demonstrate a positive relationship between operations capability and firm performance.

Some Perspectives On The Actuarial Adequacy Of The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, Andrew Frank Thompson
UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
This paper analyzes the actuarial adequacy of PBGC in providing insurance coverage to employees participating in single employer, defined benefit pension plans. The first part of this investigation examines the micro and macro economic factors that impact the financial stability and actuarial viability of PBGC. A second section discusses externalities that may contribute to suboptimal premiums and adverse selection for PBGC. A linear control model is introduced to analyze the most effective way PBGC might use its $100 million credit line with the Department of the Treasury. In addition, a model based on the economic theory of clubs develops relationships …
