AnalyticsChoice Based Conjoint Analysis

Making Decisions in a Complicated World(video http://www.impulse-fx.com/FOX/Pallavi_Chitturi_Revised.mov)In real life people reveal their preferences through choices. The aggregate of choices constitutes the demand for goods and services, the vote for political candidates, and many other phenomena of interest. Understanding how changes in the characteristics of alternatives affects preferences for them is important in many fields where predicting human choice is of interest. Such fields include: marketing, management, economics, environmental science, geography, recreation, and transportation. The lecture would deal with situations where choice alternatives may be described in terms of their components, or attributes.

Performance EvaluationCan Strategy Maps Improve Performance Evaluation Decisions? Can strategy maps affect decisions made using a common strategic performance measurement system, the balanced scorecard? Strategy maps are causal diagrams depicting temporally-separate and non-linear relations between scorecard performance measures and overriding strategic objectives. A distinguishing feature of the balanced scorecard (BSC) is the number and diversity of its metrics. To effectively formulate a decision from such a complex information set, managers must view these measures within their strategic context. As predicted, performance evaluation decisions are improved by achieving better alignment with strategic objectives when participants are provided with well-designed strategy maps. This line of research will be of interest to the many managers who use balanced scorecards, as well as consultants who help implement them.

Performance Measures and Executive Compensation: Does R&D Investment Matter?The intensity of R&D increases the complexity of executives’ jobs; therefore, the marginal return on ability should be higher in R&D intensive firms. In particular, being knowledgeable in the field of technology is helpful in determining long-term strategy, competing with competitors, managing the R&D labor force, and protecting intangible assets. If CEO ability should increases with R&D intensity, how can we best design incentive contracts?

Can a National Performance Scorecard Measure How Policies Drive Citizen Well Being?Many countries and international organizations have attempted to develop a national performance measure that incorporates multi-dimensionality of national performance. For this research, we create a national performance scorecard as a performance measure system for nations, which combines and organizes the multi-dimensional performance of nations. The research introduces four perspectives in the national performance scorecard: Citizen Well-being, National Structure, National Policy, and National Economic Outcomes Perspective.


When Do Businesses Outsource R&D By Acquiring Innovative Start-Ups?Both internal and external investments are common modes for R&D in the IT industry. Firms can pursue innovations internally—that is, they can invest in R&D and launch new products in the market. Or alternatively, firms can strategically acquire other companies. Which approach is most effective?


Project ManagementThe ABCs of Project ManagementAny graduate who hopes to be put into a position of importance at any point in their career will be asked to manage a project. This video will cover the basics of project management. We will give an over view of projects and go through the phases of a typical project and how it is planned and executed for success.

Survey DesignOvercoming Survey Fatigue, Yes the Way You Design Your Survey Matters.It can be argued that people suffer survey fatigue and as a consequence, low response rates undermines the credibility of survey results and often, render the survey inadequate in explaining behaviors, opinions and general trends. A well designed survey with incentives can help practitioners overcome the bias low response rates present. This webinar presents practical ways to increase response rates by learning how to write effective questions, incorporating design that enhances participation and exploring incentives that work in reducing survey bias and increasing response rates.

AccountingAccounting Fair Value

How Fair are Fair Values?More and more, fair values rather than historical costs are reported in the financial statements. The movement towards fair value accounting has been quite controversial. Some groups view fair value accounting as a positive step forward in financial reporting. Others assert fair values are too unreliable. Here, we’ll describe the movement towards fair value accounting in the US and internationally. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of fair value accounting. Then, we’ll delve into where fair values are reported in the financials and what their financial statement effects are. We’ll briefly cover the different sources of fair values and the GAAP fair value hierarchy.

Strategic Decision AnalysisGlobal Innovation

Moving Forward by Going in Reverse: Emerging Trends in Global Innovation and Knowledge StrategiesMarkets have their own gravitational pull, as a result of which the innovation value-chain tends to coalesce in spaces that customers inhabit. The rising prominence of emerging markets, for example, is being accompanied by a similar shift in the innovation eco-system to China and India. A corollary of this is a fundamental change in the directionality in knowledge and resource flows. Whereas earlier, it was typically from the West to the East, the trend seems to be changing in recent years as a more polycentric world emerges, one in which there are multiple centers of economic activity and knowledge generation.

Knowledge ManagementWhat is the business value of Enterprise 2.0?Enterprise 2.0 (E2) provides business solutions for social networking, social computing and social business processes, designed to drive collaboration, knowledge exchange and positive organizational outcomes. Understanding the effectiveness of these enterprise solutions allows us to explore best practice in organizational knowledge management.

Robert McNamee, Assistant Professor and Academic Director; Strategic Management

How can we measure strategic commitment to organizational learning? What is the value of knowledge sharing practices (R&D fairs, mentorship programs, communities of practice, etc.) and how do they contribute to breaking barriers to the flow of knowledge. Studying organizational learning practices allows us to understand how knowledge is transferred. Early findings suggest that very few companies approach organizational learning practices strategically; however, those that do are more successful in driving learning and innovation.

What is the value of global networks of research and development?Today’s multinational companies (MNCs) recognize that to have breakthrough innovations they must access knowledge that is developed internationally. One of the best ways to tap into this knowledge is with local R&D facilities in international centers of technical excellence. However, leveraging international regional knowledge and incorporating it into the MNCs existing knowledge networks is exceptionally difficult. Studying the best practice for creating and managing exploration and exploitation subsidiaries and integrating them into a global R&D network allows us to better understand the value of research and development.


LeadershipVideo http://www.impulse-fx.com/FOX/Tony_Petrucci.mov

Is leadership the most proven and powerful driver of long-term profitability and shareholder value? (video) From the loading dock to the board room in Shantou, New Delhi or Des Moines, businesses with a strong organizational culture built on a foundation of shared values and shared vision and driven by results focused efforts on organizational change and organizational development produce valid, superior results. In this complex, global, dynamic business environment the concepts of Global, Integrated Business Leadership provide the road map for unparalleled, consistent, cross-functional results delivered the right, lasting way.

Tony Petrucci, Assistant Professor; Human Resource Management

Multi National Corporations – Location and Resource IssuesMultinational Enterprises and the Geographical Clustering of InnovationIn spite of advances in transportation and communications, clustering remains most critical, and is consequently prevalent, in knowledge-intensive fields. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) that increasingly base their value creation and competitive advantage on knowledge-intensive activities are key participants in clusters, affecting both the nature and evolution of local innovative activities. This research traces the origins of research on geographic clusters, identifies the seminal contributions focusing on the role of MNEs, discusses potential problems inherent to this area of inquiry and develops an organizing framework for new research. There is a two-dimensional role of MNEs in knowledge clusters. From the perspective of the cluster, MNEs as flagship firms stimulate the local business environment and enhance agglomeration economies. As knowledge pipelines MNEs contribute to (and sometimes even form the genesis of) the external linkages of the cluster. From the perspective of the MNE, these firms clearly recognize clusters as the peaks in the “spiky” knowledge landscape of the host economy (i.e. valuable knowledge is distributed across geography), whose internal networks create both opportunities for new value creation as well as challenges in terms of the leakage of intellectual property. The integration of knowledge from multiple such local contexts is the key source of MNE competitive advantage.

disability management programs. We propose selling Disability Management Audit Modules to employers. We can also sell Disability Management Solution Modules to them. Employers can request paid consulting help from my proposed Disabled Workers Research Center that would be located in our Department of Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management.

Industry AnalysisThe Pharmaceutical Industry

The U.S. Without an Innovative and Viable Native Research-Based Pharmaceutical IndustryOver the past 20+ years, drug productivity from R&D pharmaceutical pipelines has been on the decline. Spending on R&D by the pharmaceutical industry has been on the decline since 2008 though biotech has increased to make up for this decline. The US-based pharmaceutical industry is shedding a significant number of well-paying jobs, with many talented people leaving the industry altogether. Furthermore, U.S. public health policy has been increasingly hostile against the industry as seen in proposed and enacted legislation. Almost 85% of dispensed prescriptions in the U.S. are now generics, with public policy and managed care plans aggressively pushing generic drugs. Drug shortages are being increasingly faced by patients with life-threatening conditions, reaching an alarming level never before seen by hospitals and physicians. As 75% of the world's growth in the global pharmaceutical market is happening outside the U.S. and other developed markets placing the U.S. industry at risk. This module will report on current industry trends and propose how this vital industry to our national well-being will address these trends at perhaps its most critical juncture in history.

Marketing Consumer Behavior Analysis

The Consumer Doppelganger Effect: Like daughter, like mother?Recently, we witness a growing trend of mothers dressing up and looking like their teenage daughters. Furthermore, these mothers and their daughters shop together and even exchange clothes, accessories and cosmetics. What motivates this behavior? Under what circumstances mothers will tend to engage in this behavior? What business opportunities this behavior opens up to marketers?

Neural MarketingVideo http://www.impulse-fx.com/FOX/Angelika_Dimoka_v2.mov

What is Neuromarketing? Looking under the hood and into the brain (video)Making decisions is a central human activity that is fundamental to the life of individuals, organizations and society. What car you choose to purchase, what person you choose to marry, what politician you vote for, where you chose to invest—all of these are important decisions that affect your life. There are hundreds of books on the market offering advice on decision-making strategies. However, the more fundamental (and ultimately more essential) question is: what is your brain actually doing when you make a decision? And what more can we learn about



6

decision-making by looking under the hood and into the brain? Answers to these questions have far-reaching implications for all aspects of our society.

Neurobiological Bases of Human Behavior, Preference Formation, and Decision Making.

Can Neuroscience Help Us Better Understand Differences in Consumer Brand Preferences?A core goal for marketers is effective segmentation: partitioning a brand's or product's consumer base into distinct and meaningful groups with differing needs. Traditional segmentation data include factors like geographic location, demographics, and shopping history. Yet, research into the cognitive and affective processes underlying consumption decisions shows that these variables can improve the matching of consumers with products beyond traditional demographic and benefit approaches. While many discussions involving marketing and neuroscience attempt to justify a general use of neural data for marketers, we prefer to provide market segmentation as a prime example of how neuroscience can aid marketing and consumer research. Neuroscience can provide a novel way to establish mappings between cognitive processes and traditional marketing data. An improved understanding of the neural mechanisms of decision making will enhance the ability of marketers to effectively market their products. Just as neuroscience can model potential influences on the decision process—including pricing, choice strategy, context, experience, and memory—it can also provide new insights into individual differences in consumption behavior and brand preferences. Neuroscience approaches will not replace the data and methods in current marketing practice, but can provide complementary information about choice processes and types of consumers. Doing so may lead to better approaches for market segmentation and more effective marketing practices.

Innovation and EntrepreneurshipThe User Entrepreneur

Nearly half of innovative U.S. startups founded by user entrepreneursStudying “user entrepreneurs” – those who create products or services for themselves before commercializing them – have founded more than 46 percent of innovative startups that have lasted five years or more. Because user entrepreneurs build their business out of a basic need, they are better able to see unmet market need or potential areas of demand that someone else might not perceive. The study found significant differences between user entrepreneurs and others along dimensions that matter to economic growth and innovation, including access to outside equity capital and the intensive use of intellectual property protection. User entrepreneurs make a substantial contribution to innovation and economic growth.

Sheryl Winston Smith, Assistant Professor, Strategic Management

TechnologyThe Chief Information Officer

CIO Background, Strategic Positioning, and Investor Reactions The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the U.S requires management the company‘s internal controls on financial reporting that rely on the company’s information



7

systems, thereby emphasizing the role of the CIO (Chief Information Officer). Therefore, appointing a CIO with appropriate experience is an important strategic decision. We examine how companies with different strategic positioning (differentiation or cost leadership) hire different types of CIOs (with technical or business background), and how the stock market reacts to aligned/misaligned CIO appointments. Results from data drawn from Nasdaq100 and S&P500 indices support our propositions, emphasizing the CIO’s background as a factor to consider when appointing CIOs. Specifically, differentiators are more likely to hire a technical CIO, while cost leaders are more likely to hire a business CIO. Most interestingly, firms that align their CIO's experience with their strategic positioning (differentiators appointing technical CIOs and cost leaders appointing business CIOs) have superior stock performance.

Digital Business StrategyWhich IT Functions Best Manage the Flow of Goods, Information and Finances?We identify a set of IT functionalities—single-location shipping, multi-location shipping, supply chain visibility, and financial settlement—that can be used to manage the flows of physical goods, information, and finances in interorganizational logistics processes. Using data from one of the world’s largest logistics suppliers and over 2,000 of its interorganizational relationships with buyers across multiple industries. The results show that the proposed interorganizational IT capability profiles and interorganizational communications have both a direct and an interaction effect on relational value.

eCommerce and Online Auctions

Does Uncertainty about an Online Product Affect Price?This study conceptualizes product uncertainty and examines its effects and antecedents in online markets for used cars. Using a unique dataset comprised of secondary transaction data from used cars on eBay Motors matched with primary data from 331 buyers who bid on these used cars. The results distinguish between product and seller uncertainty, show that product uncertainty has a stronger effect on price premiums than seller uncertainty, and identify the most influential information signals that reduce product uncertainty.

Latent Growth ModelingCapturing the Value of Data from New Technologies To explore longitudinal phenomena and test social science theories over time, this paper presents Latent Growth Modeling (LGM) as a complementary method for analyzing longitudinal data, understanding the process of change over time, testing time-centric hypotheses, and building longitudinal theories. The paper describes the basic tenets of LGM and offer practical guidelines for applying LGM to test time-centric hypotheses. It also extends LGM by proposing a fundamental criterion to evaluate LGM and conducting simulations to examine factors that affect the performance of LGM. The paper derives implications for IS research that could arise by using LGM to develop and test longitudinal theories.


Enterprise 2.0 -- Enterprise Social Networking, Social Computing, and Social Business

How Does E2.0 enable collaboration and drive positive organizational outcomes?Can we understand what are the barriers of adopting social media enabling enterprise software? Based on of surveys, interviews, panels, and discussions, we now better understand the pre-conditions necessary for E2.0 success. In this presentation, we identify a number of challenges and best practices for driving adoption and configuring an optimized E2.0 environment.


Online Product ReviewsThe Bias in Online Product ReviewsWhile online product reviews are useful for learning about products, and the average rating is used to infer product quality, we identify two self-selection biases that render the average rating a poor proxy for product quality. This is because consumers with extreme (either positive or negative) views are more likely to write their reviews compared to consumers with more moderate reviews, resulting in suppression of moderate ratings. Also, consumers who are positively predisposed toward a product are more likely to purchase a product and write a (positive) review, thus inflating the average rating. We show that these two self-selection biases decrease consumer surplus by rendering the average rating a biased estimator of product quality. This study suggests the need for overcoming these biases in online product reviews to allow consumers to make sound purchasing decisions.

Extending the literature on the Chinese concept of guanxi (i.e., close and pervasive interpersonal relationships) from traditional to online markets, we introduce the concept of swift guanxi, described as the buyer’s perception of a swiftly-formed interpersonal relationship with a focal seller that is based on mutual understanding, reciprocal favors, and relationship harmony. Longitudinal data from 338 buyers in China’s leading online marketplace - TaoBao.com – show that computer-mediated-communication tools (instant messaging, message box, feedback system) can mimic interactive face-to-face exchanges to build guanxi in online marketplaces to facilitate long-term relationships with sellers.

Technology Transforming Tourism Behavior How Does Technology Continue to Transform a 100 Billion Dollar Industry?Travel Behavior Information and communication technology has developed rapidly over the past few years and, in turn, has revolutionized the way travelers use the internet and the very nature of the Tourism Market. Because technology has developed sufficiently such that it has substantially changed the nature of travel itself, researchers have been redesigning the models that predict behavior and business strategy. This presentations discusses some of these transformations and their implications for the tourism industry and more importantly, for future research in travel behavior.

Responsible Business

Business Law and Liability What Every Entrepreneur Should Know About the Liabilities for their Business Torts But Were Afraid to Ask Doing business in the United States is unique because of the potential for liability when something goes wrong.

Ethics and Well BeingEthics, Social Responsibility, and Well-being Prior research on unethical business behavior usually has focused on its impact from a financial or philosophical perspective. While such foci are important to our understanding of unethical behavior, we argue that another set of outcomes linked to psychological and physical wellbeing are critical as well. Using data from psychological, criminological, and epidemiological sources, we propose a model of unethical behavior and well-being. This model postulates that a decrease in well-being results from stress or trauma stemming from being victimized by, engaging in, or witnessing unethical behavior, or even from being associated with individuals involved in such behavior.

Social Justice in the WorkplaceWhat are the Provoking Issues of Social Justice in the Workplace?A research area focusing on "The civilizing mission of multinational corporations in the new global order" and "Enslavement of the self: The neoliberal subject in the 21st century workplace" is an example of research navigating the sensitive and thought provoking issues of social justice in the workplaces. This research examines the commoditization of social interactions via the increasingly expansive influence of the market in our everyday lives. This line of research is not intended to offer managers suggestions of how to treat people differently in the interest of profit making. Rather, the intention is to unveil some of the ways that humans are exploited under the market system. For managers, the relevance is to offer the space for debate on ways that market-driven organizations may distort and dictate social mores. Engage in this conversation can create more avenues for institutionalizing democracy and social justice in the workplace.
