Local Relational Embeddedness And Subsidiaries’ Innovative Performance, Qin Yang, Yong Wang, Crystal X. Jiang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
We examine how foreign subsidiaries’ local networks with clients, suppliers, and research institutes in emerging markets affect their innovative performance by incorporating resource- based view with local embeddedness perspective. Utilizing a survey dataset of 381 multinational corporation subsidiaries in China, we explore both quality and quantity of subsidiaries’ relations with local clients, suppliers, and research institutes and their impact on subsidiaries’ innovative performance. Specifically, we find that high-quality relations with local clients, broader network with local suppliers, and collaboration with local research institutes all contribute to subsidiaries’ innovative performance. The follow-up on-site interviews with senior executives of foreign subsidiaries provide …

When Cognition Interferes With Innovation: Overcoming Cognitive Obstacles To Design Thinking, Allison G. Butler, Michael A. Roberto
When Cognition Interferes With Innovation: Overcoming Cognitive Obstacles To Design Thinking, Allison G. Butler, Michael A. Roberto
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Many organizations have become enamored with design thinking. As breakthrough innovation becomes the default mode for corporate growth, design thinking offers a structured methodology for generating innovation—a clear process that begins with ethnographic research to develop empathy and define user needs, then moves to ideation to explore possible solutions for improving the user experience, then refines concepts through an iterative process of prototyping and testing. Proponents such as IDEO founder David Kelley suggest that design thinking means innovation need not be the sole domain of the creative genius (Kelley and Kelley 2013). The appeal is easy to see: the design …
Loyal After The End: Understanding Organizational Identification In The Wake Of Failure, Ian J. Walsh, Federica Pazzaglia, Erim Ergene
Loyal After The End: Understanding Organizational Identification In The Wake Of Failure, Ian J. Walsh, Federica Pazzaglia, Erim Ergene
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Prestige has traditionally been viewed as a primary explanation for individuals’ identification with organizations. Yet there are clues in the literature that some individuals identify with organizations that have lost their prestige owing to failure. We use data from a survey of former employees of a defunct technology firm to test a proposed model of identification with failed organizations. We find that the extent to which the perceived identity of a failed organization fulfills former members’ self-enhancement and belongingness motives has a positive relationship with their identification with it. Identification, in turn, inclines former members to socially interact with each …
Flow Experience In Design Thinking And Practical Synergies With Lego Serious Play, Dirk J. Primus, Stephan Sonnenburg
Flow Experience In Design Thinking And Practical Synergies With Lego Serious Play, Dirk J. Primus, Stephan Sonnenburg
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
The flow experience can be an important precursor to high levels of creativity and innovation. Prior work has identified and conceptualized the key elements of the flow experience in cocreative activities as individual flow corridor, individual flow feeling, and group flow. Surprisingly, the flow experience is underrepresented in theory and practice of design thinking. In this empirical study, the flow experience at the individual and group level was investigated in a 1-day design thinking exercise. The findings from partial least squares (PLS) modeling of 230 observations confirm previously untested conjectures that (a) the elements of individual and group flow experience …
Connecting Product Development And Supply Chain Sub-Processes To Improve New Product Introductions: The Impact Of Connection Intensity And Timing, Dirk J. Primus, Euthemia Stavrulaki
Connecting Product Development And Supply Chain Sub-Processes To Improve New Product Introductions: The Impact Of Connection Intensity And Timing, Dirk J. Primus, Euthemia Stavrulaki
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
This study examines the intersections between Product Development (PD) and the Supply Chain (SC) and their impact on the performance of New Product Introductions (NPI). We employ a PD/SC interface that consists of multiple viable sub-process connections and explore conjectures from past research that (a) only a selected number of such connections may be necessary and (b) that some may be more valuable than others. We use survey data of new product introduction projects from a wide range of industries to test the conjectures. Based on a comparative analysis of PD/SC sub-process connection intensities, we detect five dyads and two …

Daily Fantasy Sports: Chance Or Skill?, Danielle Bergner
Daily Fantasy Sports: Chance Or Skill?, Danielle Bergner
Honors Projects in Mathematics
Online daily fantasy sports is a billion dollar industry that has caused controversy for the last few years with states debating its legal status. As of today, under the current United States federal laws and regulations, betting money on daily fantasy sports online is considered legal. However, several states have decided to ban these games within their borders believing they are based on chance and should be considered gambling which they have ruled to be illegal online. Each state has the right to make their own rules of what they consider gambling even if the federal government has allowed it. …
The Impact Of Logistics Performance On The Success Of Trade Agreements, Kevin Arbeiter
The Impact Of Logistics Performance On The Success Of Trade Agreements, Kevin Arbeiter
Honors Projects in Management
The purpose of this capstone project is to determine whether or not it is possible to predict the success and effectiveness of new trade agreements by looking at fundamental factors associated with efficient supply chain management. Typically, free trade agreements are analyzed using economic factors such as Gross Domestic Product or labor gains and losses. When this is done to determine whether or not a trade agreement is successful, it is usually backwards looking and too late for a country to opt out without economic repercussions. The aim of this study is to determine whether it is possible to predict …
Examining The Complementary Effect Of Political Networking Capability With Absorptive Capacity On The Innovative Performance Of Emerging-Market Firms, Masaaki Kotabe, Crystal Jiang, Janet Y. Murray
Examining The Complementary Effect Of Political Networking Capability With Absorptive Capacity On The Innovative Performance Of Emerging-Market Firms, Masaaki Kotabe, Crystal Jiang, Janet Y. Murray
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
By incorporating institutional theory with the dynamic capability perspective, we investigate how emerging-market firms’ organizational capability to acquire resources through political networking with government officials complements their absorptive capacity in enhancing incremental and radical innovations. We further investigate the conditions under which the complementary effect matters. On the basis of a survey of 108 senior executives in China, we find that political networking capability complements absorptive capacity in overcoming resource constraints and organizational disadvantages in enhancing firms’ innovations, and the result is more effective in improving radical rather than incremental innovations. Furthermore, the complementary effect becomes stronger for emerging-market firms’ …
The Effect Of Government Involvement On Chinese Firms' Corporate Entrepreneurial Activities: The Case Of Chinese Automobile Industry, Grace Chun Guo, Crystal X. Jiang, Qin Yang
The Effect Of Government Involvement On Chinese Firms' Corporate Entrepreneurial Activities: The Case Of Chinese Automobile Industry, Grace Chun Guo, Crystal X. Jiang, Qin Yang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
In recent decades many emerging markets (EMFs) have undertaken entrepreneurial transformations to adapt to institutional transition and industrial change. Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) provided EMFs viable ways to revitalize, reconfigure, and transform successfully with the dynamic environment. Although previous research examined government roles on EMFs' CE activities, little is known about the mechanisms of how government exerts influence on CE activities. To fully understand CE of EMFs, we propose a stage model to explore specific roles governments play that affect CE activities over time. In particular, we investigate how governments' grabbing hand, helping hand, and invisible hand roles affected Chinese auto …

Academic inquiry into entrepreneurial phenomena has had a rich history over several decades and continues to evolve. This editorial draws attention to the classics: seminal articles that make profound contributions to the development of an academic field in entrepreneurship studies. We focus on the formative years of entrepreneurship research, specifically the 1970s and 1980s, to identify classics using a key informant approach that surveys members of the journal editorial board. Each nominated classic is introduced and discussed by an editorial board member, with particular focus on research opportunities that may be pursued going forward. Analyzing classics allows for the recognition …
Perceptions Of African American Police Officers On Racial Profiling In Small Agencies, Charles P. Wilson, Shirley A. Wilson, Malane Thou
Perceptions Of African American Police Officers On Racial Profiling In Small Agencies, Charles P. Wilson, Shirley A. Wilson, Malane Thou
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Most assessments of the impact and effects of biased-based policing have been reviewed from the aspect of officer-citizen interaction during traffic stops, with the majority of studies focusing on these occurrences in larger police jurisdictions. Yet police officers themselves, and particularly African American officers, bring a completely different perspective to this issue that has not been fully considered or developed, especially where it concerns the smaller agencies that make up the bulk of the nation’s police community. This study considers the perceptions of African American police officers regarding the presence and impact of biased-based policing in their agencies, as well …

Actual Vs. Perceived Value Of Players Of The National Basketball Association, Stephen Righini
Actual Vs. Perceived Value Of Players Of The National Basketball Association, Stephen Righini
Honors Projects in Mathematics
Over the past few decades the media has played an increasingly large role in shaping how player effectiveness in the National Basketball Association (NBA) is perceived. Several factors have caused fans, announcers, and even NBA team management to have unintentional bias toward certain players. This study aims to utilize various formulas created by NBA statisticians, called Player Raters, to identify how efficient each NBA player actually is in comparison to the rest of the league. Data from the past 12 seasons was compiled and six Player Raters were used to place values on every NBA player since the 2000-2001 season. …

Honors Projects in Mathematics
Modern technologies have allowed for the amassment of data at a rate never encountered before. Organizations are now able to routinely collect and process massive volumes of data. A plethora of regularly collected information can be ordered using an appropriate time interval. The data would thus be developed into a time series. With such data, analytical techniques can be employed to collect information pertaining to historical trends and seasonality. Time series data mining methodology allows users to identify commonalities between sets of time-ordered data. This technique is supported by a variety of algorithms, notably dynamic time warping (DTW). This mathematical …
The Numbers Behind Celebrating More Birthdays: An Analysis Of The American Cancer Society’S Relay For Life, Eva Mahan
Honors Projects in Management
Despite all of the medical technological advances society has experienced, and is still experiencing, there has not been an ultimate cure for cancer found. Non-profit organizations like the American Cancer Society have been working for 100 years to raise funding and awareness for this issue and although great progress has been made since their founding in 1913, there is still more work that needs to be done to make cancer a disease of the past. This study first focuses on the structure of non-profit organizations, their role in society, and the techniques and procedures they follow when looking for donors. …

Growth Of Women - Owned Businesses: The Effects Of Intangible Resources And Social Competence, Crystal X. Jiang, Monica A. Zimmerman, Grace Chun Guo
Growth Of Women - Owned Businesses: The Effects Of Intangible Resources And Social Competence, Crystal X. Jiang, Monica A. Zimmerman, Grace Chun Guo
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Previous research suggests that women entrepreneurs face many challenges in starting and growing a business. In this study, we examine the relationship of intangible resources and the growth of womenowned businesses. We focus on four intangible resources: social-, human-, and reputational capital, as well as social competence. Using case studies of women entrepreneurs, we found that a woman entrepreneur's social-, human-, and reputational capital are related to the growth of her business. We also found that social competence moderates the social-, human-, and reputational capital - growth relationship in women entrepreneurs.
Effects Of Cultural Ethnicity, Firm Size, And Firm Age On Senior Executives' Trust In Their Overseas Business Partners: Evidence From China, Crystal X. Jiang, Roy Yj Chua, Masaaki Kotabe, Janet Y. Murray
Effects Of Cultural Ethnicity, Firm Size, And Firm Age On Senior Executives' Trust In Their Overseas Business Partners: Evidence From China, Crystal X. Jiang, Roy Yj Chua, Masaaki Kotabe, Janet Y. Murray
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
We investigate trust relationships between senior business executives and their overseas partners. Drawing on the similarity-attraction paradigm, social categorization theory, and the distinction between cognition- and affect-based trust, we argue that executives trust their overseas partners differently, depending on the partners' cultural ethnicity. In a field survey of 108 Chinese senior executives, we found that these executives have higher affect-based trust in overseas partners of the same cultural ethnicity as themselves; cognition-based trust is associated with affect-based trust differently when overseas partners are of the same or different cultural ethnicity. We also examine the role of relative firm size and …
Uncovering Hidden Profiles; Managerial Interventions For Discovering Superior Decision Alternatives, Brian D. Waddell
Uncovering Hidden Profiles; Managerial Interventions For Discovering Superior Decision Alternatives, Brian D. Waddell
Honors Projects in Management
A common reason for the use of teams in organizations is the idea that each individual can bring a unique perspective to the decision task; however, research shows that teams often fail to surface and use unique information to evaluate decision alternatives. Under a condition known as the hidden profile, each member uniquely possesses a critical clue needed to uncover the superior solution. Failure to share and adequately evaluate this information will result in poor decision quality. In order to mitigate this team decision-making bias, the present study utilizes experimental research to examine the impact of the devil’s advocacy technique …
Complexity In Work Identifications: The Case Of The H-1b Worker In The United States, Cinthia Fruci
Complexity In Work Identifications: The Case Of The H-1b Worker In The United States, Cinthia Fruci
Honors Projects in Management
The H-1B visa program allows for United States employers to supplement their workforce with high-skilled foreign workers. Issues arise for these workers when transitioning their lives to the U.S because they have to adapt to a new culture and are exposed to a constantly changing work environment. This exploratory study addresses how these individuals identify with their employing organization and their clients. The findings show that the H-1B contract workers identify more with the client organization as opposed to the employer, who was viewed by the majority as the “payroll department.” Primary factors of such client identification include treatment and …

An Empirical Study Of The Impact Of Ceo Characteristics On New Firms' Time To Ipo, Qin Yang, Monica Zimmerman, Crystal X. Jiang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
An initial public offering (IPO) is one of the most critical events in the life of a firm. As the IPO market continues to attract attention from both entrepreneurs and investors, research examining the relationship between the firm's characteristics and its IPO performance is growing. In this paper, we use the upper echelon perspective to empirically examine the relationship between the firm's chief executive officer (CEO) and the firm's time to IPO, a relationship that has so far received little attention. Using data obtained from 237 IPOs in the U.S. software industry, we found that the CEO's prior executive experience, …

Managing Growth: Best Practices Of Family-Owned Businesses, Justin M. Andrews
Honors Projects in Management
Family-owned businesses represent the majority of business in the United States. As consumers and employees, we are compelled to their sense of trustworthiness that all too often disappears in the business world. Our economy depends on the success of family-owned businesses, but only one third of these organizations successfully transition to the second generation and only one in ten survive to the third generation. While a series of best practices attempt to prescribe solutions their challenges, these practices fail to account for the various types of family-owned businesses. More specifically, many types of family-owned businesses exist as evident by specific …
A Study On Workforce Integration In An International Acquisition, Christopher Lussier
A Study On Workforce Integration In An International Acquisition, Christopher Lussier
Honors Projects in Management
International acquisitions are extremely difficult to maneuver and success is far from guaranteed. Navigating through financial statements is one thing, but trying to link together two or more geographically and culturally diverse workforces is an entirely another thing. This study analyzes fourteen employee interviews from four different companies involved in international acquisitions within the last ten years. It develops a comprehensive comparison of companies looking to partially integrate through hands-off management or fully integrate through synergistic collaboration of workforces. The analysis looks at the actions companies take once the decision is made to grow internationally through mergers and acquisitions in …

Location Advantages And Subsidiaries’ R&D Activities In Emerging Economies: Exploring The Effect Of Employee Mobility, Qin Yang, Crystal X. Jiang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
With multinational corporations increasingly seeking subsidiaries’ specific advantages in foreign countries to develop their innovative capabilities, internationalization of research and development has been greatly emphasized. However, in emerging economies, managers are encountering the challenge of high employee mobility under the weak intellectual property protection regime. This article investigates subsidiaries’ employee mobility and proposes that it negatively moderates the relationship between location advantages and the level of subsidiaries’ R&D. This article extends R&D internationalization and enhances current understanding of subsidiaries’ R&D activities. Further, it provides managerial implications as to how managers can improve R&D outcome by mitigating obstacles in emerging economies.

Three Dimensional, Massaki Kotabe, Crystal X. Jiang
Management Department Faculty Journal Articles
Globalizing markets might not mean that markets have become similar. Although multinational companies tend to believe that all Asian markets are the same, a comparative analysis proves that consumers in Japan, Korea, and China differ in their brand orientations, attitudes toward domestic and foreign products, quality and price perceptions, and product feature preferences. To ensure success, companies must set aside narrow and risky assumptions, and tailor country-specific strategies to target these consumers.
