Developing A Culturally Responsive Classroom Collaborative Of Faculty, Students, And Institution, Paul J. Colbert

MBA Faculty Conference Papers & Journal Articles

Culture is integral to the learning process. It is the organization and way of life within the community of students and teachers and directs the way they communicate, interact, and approach teaching and learning. Although founded in particular values and principles, the academy, like most organizations, is impacted day-to-day by its culture. Yet, the traditional higher education institution has not been designed to operate within a racially or ethnically diverse student population.

Influence Of Structure Parameters On The Information Diffusion Process In Virtual Networks, Sascha Vitzthum

The investigation is focused on the impact of network structure parameters and gives insight on how a manipulation of those parameters influences the diffusion of information in virtual networks.

Inter-Organizational Learning In Technology Acquisitions: Procuring More Than Knowledge, Abhishek Kathuria, Astrid Fontaine, Michael J. Prietula, Sascha Vitzthum

Sascha Vitzthum

The fifth wave of Merger and Acquisition includes an increasing amount of technology acquisitions. Large firms acquire small, technology-centric firms as an external source of knowledge and innovation. A major challenge in these acquisitions is to capture the knowledge of the acquired firm as well as to assimilate and utilize it in the acquiring company. We extend March’s (1991) model of organizational learning through exploration and exploitation with an agent-based model allowing knowledge transfer across organizational boundaries from a target organization to an acquiring organization through (1) retention of employees from the smaller company into the large one or through …
