It​ ​Is​ ​Time​ ​To​ ​Tackle​ ​Aspect!​ ​Some​ ​Insights​ ​To​ ​Help​ ​Clear​ ​Up The​ ​Tense/Aspect​ ​Mystery, Andreas Schramm Dec 2016

It​ ​Is​ ​Time​ ​To​ ​Tackle​ ​Aspect!​ ​Some​ ​Insights​ ​To​ ​Help​ ​Clear​ ​Up The​ ​Tense/Aspect​ ​Mystery, Andreas Schramm

Andreas Schramm

In this article, Dr. Andreas Schramm draws on the research of his graduate students, colleagues,
and from his own recent sabbatical to describe what makes the tense-aspect system in English
notoriously challenging to teach and learn, and to show that it can nonetheless be explicitly
taught. Drawing from his experience as an English learner and one-time English teacher in
training, he shares anecdotes and practical tips to help English as a Second and Foreign
Language teachers unpack the meaning of tense and aspect for their learners.


Supply-Side Drug Policy In The Presence Of Substitutes: Evidence From The Introduction Of Abuse-Deterrent Opioids, Abby Alpert, David Powell, Rosalie Liccardo Pacula Dec 2016

Supply-Side Drug Policy In The Presence Of Substitutes: Evidence From The Introduction Of Abuse-Deterrent Opioids, Abby Alpert, David Powell, Rosalie Liccardo Pacula

David Powell

Overdose deaths from prescription opioid pain relievers nearly quadrupled between 1999 and 2010.  We study the consequences of one of the largest supply disruptions to date to abusable opioids – the introduction of an abuse-deterrent version of OxyContin in 2010.  Supply-side interventions which limit access to opioids may have the unintended consequence of increasing use of substitute drugs, including heroin.  Exploiting cross-state variation in OxyContin exposure, we find that states with the highest initial rates of OxyContin misuse experienced the largest increases in heroin deaths.  Our results imply that the recent heroin epidemic is largely due to the reformulation of …

Evaluating The Impact Of Manufacturing Extension Services On Establishment Performance, Clifford A. Lipscomb, Jan Youtie, Philip Shapira, Sanjay K. Arora, Andy Krause

Philip Shapira

This study examines the effects of receipt of business assistance services from the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) on manufacturing establishment performance. The results generally indicate that MEP services have had positive and significant impacts on establishment productivity and sales per worker for the 2002 to 2007 period with some exceptions based on employment size, industry, and type of service provided. MEP services have also increased the probability of establishment survival for the 1997 to 2007 period. Regardless of econometric model specification, MEP clients with 1 to 19 employees have statistically significant and higher levels of labor productivity growth. The authors …

Does The Threat Of Gentrification Justify Restrictive Zoning?, Michael Lewyn Dec 2016

Does The Threat Of Gentrification Justify Restrictive Zoning?, Michael Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

Historically, progressives have opposed restrictive zoning, arguing that by restricting the housing supply to high-end housing, zoning reduces the supply of housing available to lower-income Americans. But recently, some progressives have suggested that new market-rate housing facilitates gentrification and displacement of lower-income renters. This article critically examines that theory.

From Fear And Guilt Negative Perceptions Of Ashley Madison Users.Pdf, Jana Michelle Hackathorn, Jordan Daniels, Brien K. Ashdown, Sean C. Rife Dec 2016

From Fear And Guilt Negative Perceptions Of Ashley Madison Users.Pdf, Jana Michelle Hackathorn, Jordan Daniels, Brien K. Ashdown, Sean C. Rife

Jana Hackathorn

A common cultural norm in committed relationships is that of sexual exclusiveness. When this norm is violated, those involved are often perceived negatively. Recently, a website facilitating extradyadic relationships, AshleyMadison.com (AM), was hacked, and the personal information of the members was illegally disseminated. As a result of the large amount of accompanying media coverage, AM users have been negatively perceived and even openly mocked. The current study explored potential predictors for the negative perceptions (i.e. demonisation) of AM users using a large online sample. In a predominantly exploratory study, myriad variables were examined from both outside (e.g. just world belief) …


Partner Capabilities And Alliance Time Frame: An Analysis Of International Strategic Alliances From The Cee, S. Hossein Jalali Dec 2016

Partner Capabilities And Alliance Time Frame: An Analysis Of International Strategic Alliances From The Cee, S. Hossein Jalali

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

Partner selection is one of the most discussed issues in strategic alliances literature. However, the majority of research has typically focused on generic partner characteristics and presented conceptual models for alliance partner selection, addressing clan image but only limited pieces of the partner selection puzzle. Rooted in the resource-based view, this paper suggests that partner selection is contingent upon the intended time frame of strategic alliances and presents a new and intensive conceptual framework that examines the appropriate partner capability for strategic alliances, in the case of short/medium-term alliances and long-term ones. Based on empirical evidences from 736 alliances in …


User Innovation: State Of The Art And Perspectives For Future Research, Maria Roszkowska-Menkes Dec 2016

User Innovation: State Of The Art And Perspectives For Future Research, Maria Roszkowska-Menkes

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

Given the rising role of users in innovation processes and the increasing amount of research in this field the aim of this paper is to explore the limits of our understanding of the user innovation (UI) concept. In doing so, the study addresses four basic questions: (1) Why do users create and share innovation? (2) Who is the user-innovator? (3) What type of innovation do users create? (4) How do users innovate? The results of a systematic literature review identified the main research streams on user innovation, together with weaknesses of past research and perspectives for future studies.


Generic Modular Ontology For Innovation Domain. A Key Pillar Towards “Innovation Interoperability”, Lamyaa El Bassiti Dec 2016

Generic Modular Ontology For Innovation Domain. A Key Pillar Towards “Innovation Interoperability”, Lamyaa El Bassiti

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

In a century of complexity, organizations are moving towards open innovation. So, contemporary Innovation Management Systems have to deal with the distributed, heterogeneous and fast growing characteristics of knowledge that are available in different forms and are rather weakly structured. In addition, the increasing degree of specialization and interdependence between and among organizations calls for group capabilities at the organizational level to interoperate with others to produce not only novel, but also critically acclaimed innovations. This is the focus of this paper that introduces the new concept of “Innovation Interoperability”. Then, it formalizes and represents semantically the key concepts underlying …

The Km Times They Are A-Changin’, Meliha Handzic

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

This paper traces the changes in the development of the field of knowledge management (KM) over time, through a review of the representative literature and the author’s own research. The paper starts by going back to the origins of KM and reflects on three significant evolutionary stages termed fragmentation, integration and fusion. Following these reflections on the KM past, the paper speculates on the possible KM future. It identifies three emerging trends named extension, specialization and reconceptualization that point to several possible KM futures. The first two involve decentralisation and regeneration of prior KM interpretations, while the third trend signals …


Money Talks: Communication Patterns As Knowledge Monetization, Karl Joachim Breunig, Hanno Roberts Dec 2016

Money Talks: Communication Patterns As Knowledge Monetization, Karl Joachim Breunig, Hanno Roberts

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

In this conceptual paper, we suggest that knowledge flows constitute the antecedences of value creation by means of its communication component. Knowledge is increasingly being accepted as a source of value creation and a differentiator between firms. However, to a large extent, current approaches to management and governance of knowledge resources prescribe measurements of the stock of knowledge. Therefore, we suggest a bridge that connects current knowledge sharing understanding with properties from communication theory, to explicate knowledge in use through a communication patterns perspective. Building on the perspective of knowledge as a flow, and postulating that value is based on …

Friends Doing Business. An Explorative Longitudinal Case Study Of Creativity And Innovation In An Italian Technology-Based Start-Up, Alessandra Tognazzo, Paola Angela Maria Mazzurana

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

With a process perspective based on a framework derived from several disciplines, we theoretically discuss how friendship dynamics in founding teams may affect a business. We develop a conceptual model that considers the different nature of exchanges in business and friendship, which may serve as a useful starting base for future investigation (in the Appendix we report some measures of friendship). We then examine an exemplary case. We focus on group cohesiveness (a proxy for friendship), decision-making, and organization of an Italian technology-based firm’s founding team over time and explore the process of generating creative ideas and implementing innovation. Our …


Use Of The Internet And Its Impact On Productivity And Sales Growth In Female-Owned Firms: Evidence From India, Aparna Gosavi Dec 2016

Use Of The Internet And Its Impact On Productivity And Sales Growth In Female-Owned Firms: Evidence From India, Aparna Gosavi

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

The Internet has completely transformed our lives on an individual basis in many ways, ranging from the way we communicate through the way we socialize to the way we shop and travel. Businesses are no exception to this premise. This paper studies the adoption of the Internet by female-owned firms in India. It uses the World Bank’s Enterprise Surveys Program data set for the year 2014 to study the adoption of the Internet by more than 10,000 firms in the country. After controlling for a large number of firm-level characteristics, empirical results obtained indicate that female-owned firms are more likely …


Entrepreneurial Tournaments: Towards Disclosing The Rivalry Process Among Corporate Entrepreneurs, Mohammad Zarei Dec 2016

Entrepreneurial Tournaments: Towards Disclosing The Rivalry Process Among Corporate Entrepreneurs, Mohammad Zarei

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

The notions and motivations of inter-organisational rivalries among employees have to some extent been highlighted by classical theories of management such as tournament theory. However, employees’ and entrepreneurs’ competitions are fundamentally different in pattern. Based on the doctrine of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial competitions are essential for a productive economy. Even so, there have been few in-depth holistic attempts to understand the rivalry process among corporate entrepreneurs. During the last three decades, various fragmented studies have been conducted from different standpoints to clarify the process of corporate entrepreneurship (CE). Nevertheless, considerable room remains for developing a model of the rivalry process with …


A Knowledge Concept Map: Structured Concept Analysis From Systematic Literature Review, Philip Sisson, Julie J.C.H. Ryan Dec 2016

A Knowledge Concept Map: Structured Concept Analysis From Systematic Literature Review, Philip Sisson, Julie J.C.H. Ryan

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

The purpose of this article is to present a mental model of knowledge as a concept map as an input to knowledge management (KM) investigations. This article’s extended knowledge concept map can serve as a resource where the investigation, development, or application of knowledge would be served with a broad mental model of knowledge. Previously unrelated concepts are related; knowledge concepts can sometimes be expressed as a range, i.e., certainty related states: view, opinion, sentiment, persuasion, belief, and conviction. Extrathesis is identified as a potential skill level higher than synthesis, and associated with the concepts: discovery, institution, insight (the event), …


Creating Intangible Value Through A Corporate Employee Portal, Mendes David, Jorge Gomes, Mário Romao Dec 2016

Creating Intangible Value Through A Corporate Employee Portal, Mendes David, Jorge Gomes, Mário Romao

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

Organizations create competitive advantage by creating more economic value than their rivals. Increasing business competition and information technology development have both led to huge corporate organizational changes and have raised the importance of intangible assets along the value chain. Value creation and the success of organizations increasingly depends on the leverage of knowledge available internally, as nowadays it has become essential to understand employee portals’ business value and to build adequate change management programmes. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Strategy Map (SM) show an organization’s objectives, how they are achieved, and the link between the goals of the various sub-units …


The Role Of Organizational Culture In Knowledge Management In Small Companies, Kaja Prystupa-Rządca Dec 2016

The Role Of Organizational Culture In Knowledge Management In Small Companies, Kaja Prystupa-Rządca

Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation JEMI

Organizational culture is an important factor influencing knowledge management processes in small companies. Small entities usually have limited resources, both human and financial, to be able to develop advanced knowledge management systems. However, little research has been done so far to investigate the characteristics of organizational culture in small companies, in terms of knowledge management processes. Therefore, the aim of this research is the examination of organizational culture in small Polish companies with the application of a symbolic-interpretive perspective.

Statistical Thinking And Future Thinking, Claudius Claiborne, Mammo Woldie Dec 2016

Statistical Thinking And Future Thinking, Claudius Claiborne, Mammo Woldie

Claudius Claiborne

Business Statistics is one of several courses students in our business school are required to take. It is also one of the courses students have difficulty in performing well. The real benefit of exposure to statistics is not just mathematical understanding, however, but the development of an ability to think conceptually and to think about the future. These perspectives are invaluable preparation for engagement in a global community. This ability has been referred to as “Future Thinking,” (Claiborne, 2014). Future Thinking is, at its core, probabilistic and also empathetic. Those high in future thinking can envision a future with its …

The Middle Class, Urban Schools, And Choice, Michael Lewyn Dec 2016

The Middle Class, Urban Schools, And Choice, Michael Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

It is common knowledge that middle- and upper-class parents tend to disfavor urban public schools, and often move to suburbs in order to avoid having to send their children to those schools. Thus, the condition of urban public schools contributes to suburban sprawl- that is, the movement of people and jobs from city to suburb. 

 This article discusses a variety of possible solutions to the unpopularity of urban schools among middle-class parents.  Part I of the Article suggests that this problem is a cause as well as a result of middle-class flight: that is, urban schools have poor reputations because …

International students' identities are complex and so are their needs. Semistructured interviews with 13 of the lead researcher's former students from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, who are multi-national, multi-lingual and pursuing degrees in law, business, economics, medicine, education, art and media, in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia elucidated this reality. Their experiences demonstrated scholastic and pabulum frustrations that were offset in part by constant communication with their clans in person and through various technologies. Though the current model of higher education often seeks to identify and categorize international students as a group, this study shows that international students …
