Variations In Dropout Rates Across Virginia, Joshua K. Bowser Dec 2006

Variations In Dropout Rates Across Virginia, Joshua K. Bowser

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis, this study attempts to capture variation in dropout rates across Virginia counties and cities. With the respective dropout rates as the dependent variable, seven independent variables are used accordingly in order to provide as much explanatory power as possible. At the 10 percent significance level, four of seven variables are statistically significant with an adjusted R2 of .374. Important policy implications can be derived from the model and its statistically significant variables. The model finds that the percentage of blacks in the population, university access, the unemployment rate and single female-headed households to …

In this article, we investigate the effect of firm-level natural-environment-related policies on innovation and financial performance in family and nonfamily firms. Our findings demonstrate that family firms are better able to facilitate environmentally friendly firm policies associated with improved firm innovation and greater financial performance more effectively than their nonfamily competitors.

Housing Price Determinants In The Lynchburg, Virginia Area, Benjamin L. Ferguson

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

The effect of certain variables on the price of a house is a subject that has been very widely studied. This paper attempts to generate a pricing model for houses in the Lynchburg VA, area using the physical characteristics of a home and other locational variables. The model will attempt to create a representation of the housing price equation for the market in the area. The results of the equation will allow the ability to predict future housing prices in the market, given certain physical and locational values that are similar for the area. 3

An Experimental Examination Of The House Money Effect In A Multi-Period Setting, Lucy Ackert, Narat Charupat, Bryan K. Church, Richard Deaves Apr 2006

An Experimental Examination Of The House Money Effect In A Multi-Period Setting, Lucy Ackert, Narat Charupat, Bryan K. Church, Richard Deaves

Faculty and Research Publications

There is evidence that risk-taking behavior is influenced by prior monetary gains and losses. When endowed with house money, people become more risk taking. This paper is the first to report a house money effect in a dynamic, financial setting. Using an experimental method, the authors compare market outcomes across sessions that differ in the level of cash endowment (low and high). Their experimental results provide strong support for a house money effect. Traders' bids, price predictions, and market prices are influenced by the amount of money that is provided prior to trading. However, dynamic behavior is difficult to interpret …

The Impact Of Enterprise Risk Management On The Internal Audit Function, Mark S. Beasley, Richard Clune, Dana Hermanson

Faculty and Research Publications

This exploratory study provides evidence about factors associated with the overall impact of enterprise risk management (ERM) on the internal audit function’s activities. Based on responses from 122 organizations in several countries, we find that ERM has the greatest impact on internal audit’s activities when (a) the organization’s ERM process is more completely in place, (b) the CFO and audit committee have called for greater internal audit activity related to ERM, (c) the chief audit executive’s (CAE) tenure is longer, (d) the organization is in the banking industry or is an educational institution, and (e) the internal audit function has …

The Class B Dealer: Down And Out?, Bernard Unti Jan 2006

The Class B Dealer: Down And Out?, Bernard Unti

Laboratory Experiments Collection

The supply of dogs and cats to laboratories by Class B animal dealers has been a contentious matter for decades. The subject engenders heated debate whenever it surfaces, most recently in September 2005 when Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI) proposed an amendment to the FY 2006 agriculture funding bill to withhold federal monies to research institutions that purchase animals from Class B dealers.


Dylemat Wartości Przedsiębiorstwa - Metoda Kcetm, Anna Ujwary-Gil Jan 2006

Dylemat Wartości Przedsiębiorstwa - Metoda Kcetm, Anna Ujwary-Gil

Anna Ujwary-Gil

Artykuł prezentuje metodę KCE™ w kontekście wyceny wartości przedsiębiorstwa. Wzrastająca dysproporcja między księgową i rynkową wartością dużej liczby przedsiębiorstw wymusza bardziej precyzyjne wytłumaczenie tego zjawiska, kierując uwagę na niematerialne zasoby przedsiębiorstwa wpływające na jego wartość rynkową. Jakkolwiek problemem nie jest tylko wycena wartości zasobów niematerialnych w ujęciu finansowym, ale również metodologiczny konflikt miedzy tradycyjnym księgowym pomiarem a współczesnymi rynkami. Prezentowana metoda KCE™ częściowo wyjaśnia źródło tego konfliktu. Zastosowano ją do analizy dwóch przedsiębiorstw: Telekomunikacja Polska S.A. oraz Netia S.A., a uzyskane wyniki pozwalają zrozumieć, dlaczego i w jakim stopniu przedsiębiorstwa są niedoszacowane, bądź przeszacowane.

Project Management Issues In It Offshore Outsourcing, Kathy Schwaig, Stephen Gillam, Elke M. Leeds Jan 2006

Project Management Issues In It Offshore Outsourcing, Kathy Schwaig, Stephen Gillam, Elke M. Leeds

Faculty and Research Publications

Global partnerships are forming to take advantage of the cost savings associated with offshoring as well as other strategic benefits. Not all information technology offshoring projects, however, are successful. Cost overruns, increased complexity and defective code cause organizations to rethink their offshoring strategy and their methods for managing these projects. In this paper, project management issues associated with offshore information technology outsourcing projects are identified and specific recommendations for addressing these issues are presented.


The Tuna Court: Law And Norms In The World's Premier Fish Market, Eric Feldman Jan 2006

The Tuna Court: Law And Norms In The World's Premier Fish Market, Eric Feldman

All Faculty Scholarship

Legal scholars have long emphasized the corrosive impact of conflict on long-term commercial and interpersonal relationships. To minimize the negative consequences of such conflict, members of close-knit groups who anticipate future interactions create ways of resolving their disputes with reference to internal group norms rather than relying on state-mandated legal rules. From farmers in California’s Shasta County to jewelers in midtown Manhattan and neighbors in Sanders County, the literature describes people who create norms of conflict management that are faster and less expensive than relying on formal law, and lessen the harm that conflict causes to their relationships. This article …

Entrepreneurship Education: Towards A Discipline-Based Framework, Debra Johnson, Justin Craig, Ryan Hildebrand Dec 2005

Entrepreneurship Education: Towards A Discipline-Based Framework, Debra Johnson, Justin Craig, Ryan Hildebrand

Justin B. Craig

Purpose – The purpose of this exploratory research was to investigate whether: entrepreneurship in the higher education context can be distinguished by disciplined-based needs; and curricula can be developed around these needs. Design/methodology/approach – The authors reviewed the literature related to the development of professions in order to establish a sound theoretical base to distinguish disciplines that require stringent criteria, and which potentially would challenge the introduction of a more flexible curriculum that includes contemporary concepts such as entrepreneurship. The research then focused on two other groups of disciplines which lead to entrepreneurial opportunities with distinct needs in (principally) people …


Reading Tourism Texts In Context: A Critical Discourse Analysis, William Feighery Dec 2005

Establishing Individual Differences Related To Opportunity Alertness And Innovation Dependent On Academic-Career Training, Justin Craig, Debra Johnson Dec 2005

Establishing Individual Differences Related To Opportunity Alertness And Innovation Dependent On Academic-Career Training, Justin Craig, Debra Johnson

Justin B. Craig

Purpose – The purpose of this research was to investigate using the seminal writings of Schumpeter and Kirzner as a guide – individuals who are potentially involved in entrepreneurship can be identified as being innovators or opportunity-alert. Specifically, this exploratory project attempts to answer the following question: “Are some individuals better at being innovators, while others are better able to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities and, if so, does academic-career training matter?” Design/methodology/approach – The study relied on purposive sampling and received survey responses from postgraduate students in business and engineering. The 26-item survey was made up of demographic indices and questions …


From Vision To Variables: A Scorecard To Continue The Professionalization Of A Family Firm, Ken Moores, Justin Craig Dec 2005

From Vision To Variables: A Scorecard To Continue The Professionalization Of A Family Firm, Ken Moores, Justin Craig

Justin B. Craig

This chapter builds on previous projects we have conducted that have concentrated on the key areas of corporate governance and strategic planning in family business. Whereas our previous projects have enlisted an additive approach (that saw the family perspective added to the business), this current research takes on an integrated approach and seeks to integrate issues that influence the family and business systems. Specifically, in this research we use innovation action research (Kaplan, 1998) to illustrate how the Balanced Scorecard that includes reference to family business challenges has been introduced and used to assist family members, board members and management …
