Authors: Ju Ran , Jia Moyi , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

By employing Chinese sample, this study examined the relationship between organizational members’ use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their identification with the immediate workgroup and the overall organization. Employees’ uncertainty level was proposed as a mediating factor in these relationships. Participants N=336 completed an online survey. Results indicated that workgroup identification (WID) was positively predicted by members’ use of organizational social media to seek work-related information, and organizational identification (OID) was positively predicted by organizational social media and intranet for the same purpose. These relationships were either partially or fully mediated by employee’s uncertainty level. Results contributed to our understanding of ICT’s role in modern collocated work settings and shed lights on ICT and identification in a non-Euro-American context.

Authors: Morgan John , Bergin J. Lawrence , Sallee Larry , null null
Published: February 2023

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-International (AACSB) is widely to world’s foremost accrediting agency of business schools. AACSB promotional literature asserts AACSB accreditation is associated with higher qualify business education and higher quality business school graduates. The assertion of higher quality is somewhat controversial and to date has not been well supported by empirical evidence. The research presented below investigates whether recent business school graduates taking the uniform certified public accountants exam score higher when from AACSB accredited institutions rather than when from non- AACSB accredited institutions. Results indicate that graduates of AACSB accredited business schools do in fact score significantly higher on all parts of the uniform certified public accountants exam than do their counterparts form unaccredited institutions.
Can Cyberactivism Effectuate Global Political Change?

Published: February 2023

Targeted activist strategies propel social justice movements to devise creative mechanisms in an effort to gain momentum. This discussion paper will analyze if cyberactivism can effectuate global political change. Varying views will be illustrated demonstrating the efficacy and the lack of efficacy of cyberactivism in its attempt to impact global political change. Comparisons and data analyses will assess the impact of communication media and the Internet, Internet connectivity of people, and impact of online technology on social movements. Research studies will gauge online communication tools, benefits/wins and challenges of cyberactivism, and future assumptions. Examples of cyberactivism strategies will illustrate how online technology has impacted political change in different regions of the world. The available evidence suggests that cyberactivism has created new ways for people to connect for the purpose of change despite where they live or identity differences. Although researchers may disagree about the efficacy of cyberactivism on global political change, the Internet still provides the essential platform for debate and information sharing.
Preserving the Future of Rural Schools and Communities in the Plains

Published: February 2023

There is a well-documented pattern in rural areas across the plains, as well as in other parts of the United States, of population loss and the associated consolidation or closing of literally thousands of rural schools. There is also dramatic evidence of the demise of a great many, once prosperous, small communities surrounding those same schools. It is time for more effective and sustained intervention, particularly in strengthening a sense of ‘citizenship of the place’ in those communities, especially among current school-aged children. Without this kind of thoughtful change in philosophy, the pattern of decline will continue to be repeated. Preserving the future of the remaining small schools and communities on the plains is a challenge this paper intends to begin to address.
Accounting Standards And Earnings Management Around The World
Authors: Yu Michael , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

This study investigates the relation between accounting standards and earnings management around the world. I find that international accounting standards, accrual-based accounting standards, accounting standards with increased disclosure requirements, and separating tax and financial reporting all constrain earnings management. Following previous studies, I treat accounting standard measures as being endogenous, and use instrumental variables to re-estimate the model. I find consistent results. I conclude that accounting standard policy is an important institution in determining the quality of reported financial information. Different from prior international earnings management studies, I directly test whether international firms are managing earnings using the distribution method. I find evidence that firms are managing reported earnings around the world. I also document that high-quality accounting standards decrease analyst forecast error.

Authors: Gringarten Hagai , Fernández-Calienes Raúl , Mitchell Lloyd , null null
Published: February 2023

In a profession dedicated to disseminating knowledge, accounting journals may be missing an opportunity to share knowledge. This article presents original research on dozens of top accounting journals and whether they publish book reviews, including benefits and drawbacks of reviewing and specific key elements to avoid and to include in reviews. The article considers the basic elements of a book review, describes the advantages of publishing book reviews, and provides ideas for how a book review can be published in accounting journals. Results indicate that accounting journals’ de-emphasis of book reviews might deprive academics of sharing and dissemination of knowledge that are an essential part of re-search and publication – especially in a postdigital world.
Improving Shewhart Control Chart Performance In The Presence Of Measurement Error Using Multiple Measurements And Two-stage Sampling
Authors: Linna Kenneth , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

The usual Shewhart control chart efficiently detects large shifts in the mean of a quality characteristic and has been extensively studied in the literature. Most proposed alternatives to the Shewhart chart aim to improve either the signal performance for smaller mean shifts or reduce the sampling effort required to detect a larger shift. Measurement error has been shown in the literature to result in reduced power to detect process shifts. The combination of multiple measurements and two-stage sampling is considered here as a strategy for both regaining power lost due to measurement error and specifically tuning the charts for shifts of a particular size. It is shown that both the average total sample size and the average run length are improved relative to the standard Shewhart control chart under the same measurement error conditions. Chart designs are recommended to achieve particular control objectives.

Published: February 2023

This paper focuses on small business preparedness for disaster, after Superstorm Sandy, to determine whether the disaster experience encouraged business owners to develop contingency and disaster recovery plans to better prepare for future incidents. The methodology used for this research was a combination survey/interview of small businesses impacted by Superstorm Sandy. The survey results revealed that the majority of respondents did not have plans in place prior to Sandy and that a small percentage developed contingency or disaster recovery plans to better prepare for future incidents, post-Sandy. The interview portion of the research provided valuable insight about how these businesses dealt with the disaster, what they learned from the experience and their perspectives on contingency planning and disaster recovery.

Published: February 2023

As Manrai and Manrai (2010) demonstrate, "international business negotiations (IBN) play a fundamental and critical role in just about every aspect of conducting business in today’s global economy" (p. 69). With increasing integration of globalization and the rapid development of international trade, international business negotiation has become an indispensable part of commercial activity. Metcalf, Bird, Peterson Shankarmahesh and Lituchy (2007) point out that "business negotiation involves two or more distinct entities with various cultural backgrounds" (p. 147). Research from Graham (1985), Foster (1992), Li and Zhang (2004), and Bülow and Kumar (2011) demonstrates that cultural difference largely impacts the success of international business negotiations.

Technological, demographic, and competitive changes in distance education (DE) pose complex leadership and strategic issues for community colleges. Leaders must establish institutional and academic objectives, develop financial and technological strategies, and organize, market, and evaluate DE initiatives. Their objectives and strategies should anticipate and help shape the developing competitive environment in which their colleges operate. This qualitative case study examined DE administrative and staff leadership roles, organization structures, and strategies at three Midwestern community colleges with expanding DE programs. Leadership teams were small. New roles and organizational structures were evolving, and the colleges were maintaining strong video delivery while developing online courses and programs.

Chinese Students In U.S. Universities: A Qualitative Study Of Cross-cultural Learning Experiences, Transition And Adaptation
Authors: Oramas Josefina , Gringarten Hagai , Mitchell Lloyd , null null
Published: February 2023

Chinese students represent the largest single group among international students enrolled in the U.S, and globalization has played an important role in impacting Chinese students’ perceptions of what it means to study abroad. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are 85 percent more international students enrolled today in U.S. schools than ten years ago, adding more than 35 billion dollars to the nation’s economy in 2015 (Belkin & Purnell, 2017). This qualitative study adds to the limited research available regarding Chinese students’ cross-cultural transition and academic adaptation to American universities (Kusek, 2015; Yan & Berliner, 2009). Findings add a new perspective regarding the students’ perceptions and expectations in China compared to their true experiences in the U.S. universities. Results show that, despite significant barriers, Chinese students are eventually able to transition and adapt to the new surroundings.\r Implications of findings can help in the development of effective strategies and programs to facilitate these students’ transition and adaptation in U.S. higher education institutions.
A Look at the Effectiveness of Outreach Programs for Victims of Domestic Violence: Outline of Preliminary Findings of a Small Scale Study
Authors: Rizzo Vilma , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Intimate-partner violence is an injustice imposed on both men and women; however, the vast majority of victims are women. Therefore, my study focuses solely on women. Moreover, abused women deal with an array of complexities in terms of their overall quality of life due to the abuse they suffer, and as a result a variety of outreach programs are being offered in hopes that these women will have a chance at a better living situation and better health outcomes. This paper will examine the psychological and physical symptoms experienced by battered women and the role of outreach programs to help them. My quantitative study will examine the efforts of one organization and its attempts to address the issue through the services offered to the victims of domestic violence in that particular area. The study consisted of a survey that revealed the benefits experienced by regularly attending the outreach program. In the study the participants overall reported the alleviation of symptoms thus actually benefitting from the program. The outreach program researched is Next Door Solutions, a program located in San Jose, CA, that has an ethnically diverse clientele. Furthermore, this study was a small scale study with 19 participants that was used to shed light on what is effective, what can be offered, and suggests that further research can be done to look into alternative approaches that can be implemented for a more effective outreach program.
Tomorrow’s Teacher Leaders: Nurturing a Disposition of Leadership

Until recently, the terms teacher and leadership were not often mentioned in the same sentence.Educational leadership was synonymous with school administration, and teachers viewed themselvesas followers rather than leaders. Over the past fifteen years, this perception has changed. Due tofederal mandates such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and Response to Intervention (RtI), teacherroles and responsibilities have expanded (Le Cornu, 1999) and distributed school leadership hasbecome the norm (Danielson, 2006; Harrison & Killion, 2007).
Maximizing Shareholder Value? Spotify Direct Public Offering
Authors: Jo Hoje , Throne John , Fieber Michael , null null
Published: February 2023

The typical method of going public has traditionally been an initial public offering (IPO), whereby a company works with an underwriter syndication to establish a price at which shares will be offered to the public before listing them. The purpose of this paper, however, is to evaluate whether IPOs are truly the best method for taking a company public. To answer this question, at least partially, we explore the upsides and downsides of a direct listing using the music streaming company Spotify (NYSE: SPOT) as a case study. Having officially registered to go public with the SEC and direct listed on April 3, 2018 with $149.01 closing price and a $26.5 billion market capitalization, Spotify becomes the first major private company to list its shares directly to the public on the NYSE without using an underwriter. Although direct listings come with their fair share of risk, this study suggests that a direct listing can benefit large private companies by eliminating the losses associated with underpricing, offering quick liquidity to the firm and its current shareholders, and decreasing per share dilution. As Spotify’s direct listing is successful, it could send ripples across Wall Street and the broader world of tech unicorns that alternative changes how large private companies choose the way of going public.

Published: February 2023

Traditional education has undergone major changes over the past decade. Higher education hasevolved from brick and mortar to virtual campuses. Technological advancements in communicationhave changed the way information is presented. The manner in which students learn has also evolved.Educational leaders must also evolve to meet the needs of both students and faculty because, facultymembers struggle with changing curricula, non-traditional learning environments and new technology.They need their leaders to assist them with the transitions (Tjosvold 2006). This paper attempts toprovide a research-based framework through which educational leaders might empower faculty tobetter meet the mission, purpose and needs of the institutions based upon established leadershiptheories. This topic is important because by empowering faculty, it enables them to take on roles inleadership and improve the educational system. It encourages ownership for the faculty with greaterparticipation in school governing and a more positive attitude. Additionally, "When employees performat a high level, managers may well find they can easily support and encourage their employee"(Tjosvold 2006).

Authors: Lopez Carson , Whitaker Whitney , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Over 70% of undergraduate students hold part-time jobs while in college. Certain aspects are positively and/or negatively impacted by employment in college, such as a student’s academic performance, relationships, and self-worth. As such, research examining factors that might positively influence work-related outcomes (and subsequent collegiate experiences) for student workers is warranted. The current work utilized the Leader-Member Exchange as a theoretical framework to examine how work-related factors (i.e., leadership qualities and the supervisor-employee relationship) impact job satisfaction among student workers. Seventy-eight undergraduate students completed the study. Leadership qualities and supervisor-employee relationship positively correlated with job satisfaction; however, further analysis revealed that the relationship between the supervisor and employee was a significant mediator. These findings add unique information to prior research and might be used by individuals who work with student employees. Additional implications of this work as well as limitations are discussed.

Published: February 2023

The Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS) is an evolutionary educational method recently introduced to schools in Kansas. As part of an ongoing investigation into the deployment and effectiveness of the MTSS system, this pilot study established initial participation rates in the program. This project sought to define the incidence rate among males and females in MTSS tiers in the study region. The study also sought initial teacher satisfaction with support for their development and training into the new MTSS system. A survey consisting of 13 items was sent to 600 randomly selected elementary public school teachers in the Kansas First Congressional District. As expected, students placed in Benchmark constituted the highest number of participants. Students across MTSS tiers in Central and Western Kansas schools are distributed according to MTSS guidelines and are gender neutral. An implication of this study is that it is vital for effective instruction in reading and mathematics to approach instruction based on students’ assessment results which are gained by frequent progress monitoring and assessment. A second implication is the need for leaders in school districts to provide teachers with MTSS professional development during their first through third year of teaching.

Organizations allocate a part of their financial resources to optimize their market segmentation strategies, plan marketing campaigns, and improve customer relationships. Throughout this process, they use a vast amount of electronic records generated by online and offline purchases to design effective marketing campaigns and introduce personalized promotions for their customers by employing data analytics. The problem of selecting target customer segments, given various priorities and the budget constraint, can be modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem with flexible goals and different priorities, interdependencies and resources constraints. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the use of the goal programming approach to address this challenge.
Plutarch’s Alexander: an Endorsement of Platonism and Living as a Philosopher
Authors: Gonzalez Sergio , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Man has often had an inclination to promote his way of living to his fellow man. Believing that his way of approaching life is superior to all others, he has defended and enforced his views against and upon others. He has done this by way of reasoning and by way of violence. Although most instances of this natural desire are recognized in the form of wars and acts of violence, there have also been many other prominent instances involving peaceful reasoning, such as the revolutionary movements of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi. Plutarch, a Greco-Roman historian and writer, is one noteworthy figure who also sought to persuade others through peaceful methods, specifically through his writing. What has enabled his name to be remembered through the centuries has undoubtedly been his greatest work, Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, a work more commonly referred to as Parallel Lives. By examining this book, and the account on Alexander the Great in particular, readers can discover a peaceful and effective means of spreading their beliefs to others. Through witty rhetoric and other persuasive writing techniques, readers will learn how Plutarch uses Alexander’s celebrity status of the time to promote Platonism, a popular school of thought following the teachings of Plato, and living the life of a philosopher. Why Plutarch wants to promote Platonism, the life of a philosopher is also explored in this analysis, and corroborated through several Classical period historians. Finally, Plutarch’s attempt to paint Alexander as a Platonist and a worthy idol representing all philosophers will open the reader to a few new fundamental beliefs from a distant era of the past regarding living an ethical, self-governed, and virtuous life.

Published: February 2023

In Western society, sport economic impact studies are often utilized to showcase the financial benefits for hosting mega sport event or to justify the spending for entering bids or covering infrastructure construction costs. This study projected economic impact of the 2017 Summer Universiade by examining the Taiwanese (the hosting country) residents’ willingness to attendance and estimated individual spending (consumption) while attending the games. Through a series of convenience sampling surveys from February to April, 2017, 1,021 respondents (53.5% males and 45.3% females) reported their potential personal spending, willingness to attend the events, and preferred ticket price range. The results indicated that 61.5% of respondents expressed their willingness to purchase tickets. Projected cost for each individual potential game attendee was about $58 USDs. The ideal general event ticket price should be set around $13.5 USDs. The estimated total revenues based on one million game attendees’ (including local and non-local Taiwanese residents and foreign visitors) personal spending reached $67-million USDs. This revenue figure was projected to generate an economic impact of $154.1-million USDs. The researchers further compared the obtained figures with the finding of past sport economic impact studies and addressed the significance and rationale for selecting a modest impact multiplier for the calculation. Additional recommendations are offered in using impact study results to plan strategies for boosting tourism and winning bids for future events

Teaching and learning process is inseparable from method and technique applied by educators, especially teachers as an attempt to improve the quality of output learning. Place mat technique is one of the cooperative learning methods in which students could work by themselves first and then team up with other group’s members in solving an issue or topic given. They can write down their idea as well as group’s opinion in a big place mat paper. Through the initial observation by interviewing some teachers of SMAN 1 Kuta Baro, Aceh Besar (Great aceh), it was found out that most of them never use this kind of technique in the classroom setting; they use some other kinds of techniques such as role play, jigsaw, numbered head together, and conventional technique. Therefore, the writers intend to carry on a community service to the students in the school as an effort to vary and increase the quality of teaching and learning process. This community service is hold on October 5-7, 2022 in SMAN 1 Kuta Baro, Great Aceh. This service is meant to train those teachers to be able to apply the technique during the teaching.

Every Islamic law must aim to bring benefits and reject harm. In one of the rules of the Shari'a, Allah Ta'ala provides a rule for traveling specifically for women, which is to be with a mahram when traveling. However, seeing the times and conditions today which are different from the past, many women are still in a dilemma of doubts about the legal status of women traveling without a mahram. For this reason, the scholars have different opinions regarding 'illah, the prohibition of women traveling without a mahram. This research is a type of library research, with a descriptive-analytical approach. As for the results of this study, the scholars are divided into two views regarding the law of women having a non-mahram character; some argue that 'illah is traveling without a mahram itself. Consequently, traveling is illegitimate for women without a mahram, whether in conditions of wajib, sunnah or mubah travel. Meanwhile, some others argue that 'illah, the prohibition of traveling for women without a mahram is safety for traveling. This has consequences on the permissibility of traveling either in conditions of wajib, sunnah or mubah travel. As for traveling for the purpose of haram, then it is clear that the law is haram.

Economic inequality is an imbalance that separates the rich and the poor. It is a socio-economic problem that is currently occurring in the global realm, including in Indonesia itself. Therefore, economic disparity is a serious problem that must be resolved. According to Islam, the economic gap between rich and poor is sunnatullah. Because in essence humans are different circumstances, some are destined to be rich and some are the other way around. However, Allah forbids every behavior that causes poverty and inequality, such as not wanting to help the needy, poor and leaving them in hunger. Among the solutions offered by Islam in addressing economic inequality is Islamic philanthropy. Through an authoritative literature review or library research, it can be concluded that, first, the causes of economic inequality are caused by three factors, namely: natural, cultural and structural factors. This is due to the influence of the capitalist system and materialism.

Third, Islam resolves the gap by behaving fairly, especially in the economy, helping each other, and increasing awareness about the importance of zakat, waqf, infaq and alms, all of which are Islamic philanthropy
