Corporate Social Responsibility In Italy: State of The Art
Authors: Perrini Francesco , Pogutz Stefano , Tencati Antonio
Published: October 2021

The Italian Corporate Panorama is permeated by various corporate socialresponsibilities initiatives, both at private and public level, that derive from differentapproaches and tools. The general framework for corporate social responsibility(CSR) behavior and strategies consists of the Green Paper presented bythe European Commission in July 2001. Within this framework, the paper aims atanalyzing three main issues: spontaneous experiences from companies and otherplayers; the innovative project called Corporate Social Responsibility - SocialCommitment, developed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which aimsat promoting the involvement of Italian enterprises in CSR activities, with particularregard to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises; and lastly the main and mostinteresting outcomes of a survey that is the starting point of an ongoing process ofinvestigation regarding CSR attitudes in Italy.

Academic Journal Ranking: Important To Strategic Management and General Management Researchers?
Authors: Carraher Shawn , Yuyuenyongwatana Robert
Published: October 2021

This study explores two questions pertaining to research publications: theimportance of publications, and the perceived ranking of strategic and general managementjournals. The reasons why research publishing is important are 1) it is partof the pursuit of knowledge, 2) it has extrinsic rewards to those publishing, and 3)it may increase the prestige of the institution with which the publishing faculty isaffiliated. On the second question, the authors have conducted a survey of perceivedjournal rankings. The results from 50 journals suggest that there is a consensus ofrankings. As such, an institution may reasonably use these rankings as a basis forevaluations of research quality. Areas for future research are suggested.
Consumer Perception of E-Service Quality: From Internet Purchaser and Non-Purchaser Perspectives
Authors: Yang Zhilin , Jun Minjoon
Published: October 2021

This exploratory study expands the knowledge concerning service qualitydimensions in the context of Internet commerce, from the differing perspectives oftwo groups: Internet purchasers and Internet non-purchasers. Six primary servicequality dimensions perceived by Internet purchasers were uncovered: reliability, access,ease of use, personalization, security, and credibility while seven dimensionswere discovered for Internet non-purchasers: security, responsiveness, ease of use,reliability, availability, personalization, and access. When examining the relative importanceof each dimension affecting overal1 service quality assessment, the "reliability"factor was found to be the most important dimension for Internet purchaserswhile Internet non-purchasers consider "security" as their most critical concern.
To Send, Or Not To Send: That Is The Question. A Review of The Literature On Workers' Remittances
Authors: Ruiz Isabel , Vargas-Silva Carlos
Published: October 2021

This paper reviews the empirical literature on workers' remittances. Basedon the empirical evidence, we are able to assess the facts and myths about the determinantsand consequences of remittances. We also discuss the potential implicationsof our findings for the theoretical literature on remittances and account for theopen-ended questions that still remain. The review suggests that there are severalmotivations to remit and it does not seem that one specific motivation has been consistentlyselected over the others. The literature also suggests that remittances havethe potential to impact a large number of variables related to the recipient countryand household.
Can Crude Oil Futures Predict Sport Retail Unleaded Gasoline Prices?
Authors: Ginn Vance , Gilbert Ronald
Published: October 2021

The motivation for this paper began with casual empiricism regarding thebrief distributed lag of retail gasoline prices behind crude oil futures. We developeda model consistent with our hypothesis and tested it with econometrics using statisticaldata that include the sharp decrease in crude oil price futures in late summer2008. We found that our model is a consistent and efficient estimator of the actualgasoline prices over most of our sample period. However, random shocks to gasolineprices, like Hurricane Ike in 2008, cause the model to have problems accuratelypredicting gas prices. We conclude that our estimated model and simulations providereasonable support for our hypothesis that crude oil price futures can predict spotretail unleaded gasoline prices.
Service Provision and Product Differentiation: A Comment To "A Note On The Strategic Use of Service"
Authors: Boswell James , Moore Evan
Published: October 2021

Hegji and Moore (2005, p. 140) state, "The bottom line for managers is thatalthough the provision of service may at times seem attractive, in that increased servicesallow for higher prices, price competition should be considered the preferredlong-run strategy." Contrary to their result we find that service provision is profitablein the long run and can be associated with lower prices. Additionally, we discussthe value of product differentiation. Our paper builds on their results in three ways:providing an additional setting of homogeneous goods duopoly, providing the profitsunder the three scenarios (Hegji and Moore's monopoly and differentiated priceduopoly, and our homogeneous goods duopoly) with and without service provision,and a discussion of the managerial implications in terms of both service provisionand product differentiation.
On The Viability of A Multilateral Trade Agreement: A Political-Economy Approach
Authors: Trupkin Danilo
Published: October 2021

The big picture issue this paper intends to address is on the incentive aspectsof a multilateral trade liberalization. The paper builds on a framework originallyintroduced in Grossman and Helpman's The Politics of Free-Trade Agreements(1995). The aim of that work was to explain the viability of free trade agreements(FTAs) between two countries in a political-economy framework. A simple extensionto a three-country setting allows us to analyze whether FTAs are "buildingblocs" or "stumblirig blocs." An illustration with specific functional forms serves tofind conditions under which FTAs are, somehow, partial building blocs, i.e., a bilateral liberalizationcan be feasible when multilateral liberalization is not.
Economic Growth Creation Or Diversion? The Record of Trade Agreements In Latin America
Authors: Barboza Gustavo , Trejos Sandra
Published: October 2021

This paper examines the effects of Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) andGATT/WTO membership on economic growth using a sample of seventeen LatinAmerican countries for the period 1950-2004. In general, the evidence indicatesthat the proliferation of bilateral and multi country regional and extra regional tradeagreements has not resulted in faster economic growth. On the contrary, we find thatPTAs and WTO only have a weak positive effect on increasing trade openness; butthis relationship does not translate into faster economic growth when controlling forcapital, labor force and trade openness. These results are robust to both static anddynamic model specifications, indicating that trade openness has a positive effect onper capita output growth, but PTA and WTO membership do not. Integration via defacto increases output growth while integration via de jure does not. Based on theresults, PTAs create a net diversion effect on economic growth.
The Unique Nature of Chinese Corporate Governance Practices
Authors: Liu Yan , Atinc Guclu , Kroll Mark
Published: October 2021

This study investigates a fairly broad array of factors which may influenceChinese corporate governance and examines the relationships between firm age, topmanagement team age, board structure, ownership structure and firm performancein publicly-listed Chinese firms. As we anticipated, owing to the unique context ofcorporate China, results support a negative relationship between firm age and firmperformance, a positive relationship between percentage of independent directorsand firm performance, and a positive relationship between the presence of foreignblockholders and firm performance. This study also found a positive relationshipbetween the percentages of shares owned by the state as a blockholder and firm performance,but found that neither private nor institutional blockholders influence firmoutcomes. Results also indicate that the relationship between top management ageand firm performance is mediated by firm size. The expected negative relationshipbetween CEO duality and performance and positive relationship between board sizeand firm performance is not supported. These results indicate that there are someunique features of Chinese governance practices that need to be considered by researchersseeking to test the applicability of western theories in the Chinese context.

While awareness of consumer ethnicity and effectivenessof culture-based market segmentation are on-going and relevant topicsin retailing, there is only limited information available on consumer behaviour ofexpats, as well as on the translation of market segmentation strategies to shoppingenvironment. An online survey among British, Japanese, and American expatriatesin the Amstelveen/Amsterdam region (the Netherlands) points out the importance ofboth lifestyle and ethnicity for the shopping behaviour. Managerial implications forretailers, shopping centre developers, and operators are also discussed.
A Review of Interfirm Networks: A Deeper Understanding of The Relationship Paradigm
Authors: Reisenwitz Timothy , Fowler Jie
Published: October 2021

Interfirm relationships or networks take a variety of forms and can potentiallyprovide significant synergy for the participants. Yet, most of research studies,to date, have primarily analyzed interfirm networks based upon one paradigm/perspective. This review aims to examine a complete theoretical basis of networkresearch and looks for research gaps and practical implications for both researchersand practitioners. Specifically, it summarizes six conceptual perspectives regardinginterfirm networks: motivational, relational, structural, evolutionary, interactional,and governance, in order to address similarities and differences among differentperspectives. With this purpose in mind, the relevant literature is reviewed and, atthe conclusion of each conceptual perspective, areas of research that require moredevelopment and investigation are identified. Finally, suggestions for managers contemplatingor engaged in interfirm networks are presented.
Marketization and Its Impact On The Functional Focus, Relational Focus, and Character of Guanxi Ties
Authors: Reisenwitz Timothy , Fowler Jie
Published: October 2021

Prior research generally neglects how guanxi is used for marketing purposesby managers, and ignores possible differences in guanxi during marketization. Incontrast, this paper argues why and how marketization may affect the marketinguses of guanxi, types of persons involved, and nature of their guanxi ties. As background,it provides an overview of salient features of marketization policy and marketplaceconditions in three stages of marketization. It explains the functional focus,relational focus, and character of guanxi ties, and how managers are likely to useguanxi for strategic purposes at various marketization stages.
Brand Loyalty and Store Loyalty For Consumers Purchasing A Product Warranty In A Health Care Setting: An Investigation of The Differences Across Gender, Age, and Income Groups
Authors: Reisenwitz Timothy , Gupta Sanjay
Published: October 2021

The product warranty plays an increasingly important role in today’s highly competitive marketplace. The use of warranties is widespread, but their use has only relatively recently been applied in the health care sector. This study will look at the different levels of brand loyalty and store loyalty for respondents who were grouped by demographic characteristics. The demographics were divided into two groups: male/female, high income/low income, and younger/older. The respondents consisted of 120 patients at a privately-owned and operated, single-outlet, retail optical center. The two groups were compared based on brand loyalty and store loyalty using independent-samples t-tests. The analysis revealed that younger patients who purchase the warranty are more brand loyal than older patients who purchase the warranty. Additionally, patients with higher incomes were significantly more store loyal than patients with lower incomes.
Generating Press, Bold Ideas, and Stubbornness: The Impact of Celebrity CEO's
Authors: Bendickson Josh , Solomon Shelby
Published: October 2021

Our purpose is to investigate and discuss the impact of celebrity CEOs. Numerous CEOs have attained celebrity status through infusion into media coverage. Consequently, CEOs routinely enter into American popular culture. We offer general propositions that successful CEOs gain positive media coverage, and thus gain celebrity CEO status. Subsequently, celebrity CEOs are vulnerable to becoming rigid in their business strategy and also fixate on increasing firms’ corporate social responsibility operatives, both of which are enhanced by narcissism. Under negative conditions (i.e., poor performance, bad press), celebrity CEOs tend to escalate their commitment as opposed to admitting a change is necessary.

This paper presents the results of three differing sales incentives,from the manufacturer, in models involving a manufacturer selling a product toCournot-type retailers competing in the retail market. We investigate the effectivenessof these incentives under two scenarios: profit maximizing retailers and retailerswith an incentive function that is a mix between sales and profits. The optimal salesincentive is discussed.
The Nexus of Immigration and Economic Conditions In Australia
Authors: Ozcan Burcu
Published: October 2021

In this study, we aim to analyze the causal linkages between immigrationand economic conditions - unemployment and per capita income- in Australia overthe period of 1966-2013 by using causality tests developed by Toda and Yamamoto(1995) and Hacker-Hatemi-J (2006). The results support one-way causal relationshipsrunning from both unemployment and per capita income to immigration. However,immigrants do not have a significant impact on the economic conditions of Australia.On the contrary, the high level of income and the low unemployment rate are thepulling factors of immigrants into Australia. Based on these results, some crucialpolicy implications would be suggested.
Thunder Up The Taxes!

Published: October 2021

Oklahoma City taxpayers approved a 1% sales tax to raise an estimated $120million for improvements to lure the Seattle Supersonics, now the Oklahoma CityThunder. City civic leaders engaged a “Big League City” campaign, touting economicgrowth, increased business activity and jobs, and better quality of life as reasons tosupport the initiative. We evaluate the “Big League City” economic claims usinglocal sales tax revenues to estimate the level and growth impacts resulting from therelocation of the now Oklahoma City Thunder. We find no significant relationshipbetween the operation of the franchise and contemporaneous sales tax collections.However, we find a modest positive significant relationship between the presence ofthe franchise and the year-over-year growth rate of aggregate sales tax collections,providing some support for the amenity “Big League City” argument.

Prior research has been relatively withdrawn to study the strategic managementprocess in non-profit organizations, and ignored differences in strategic planning inacademic institutions. In contrast, this paper argues why and how strategic planningmay lead to desired levels of organizational performance in a college or university.We used mixed methodology approach based on content analysis. Our exploratorywork found that higher ranked universities had strategy statement that emphasizedfaculty. Findings highlight the importance of a clearly articulated strategyemphasizing faculty for university ranking on the sample of 203 business schools.We provide evidence that the most successful universities are likely to proactivelyuse and manage strategy statements for attaining higher rankings and attracting morestudents.
Foreign Aid Allocation: A Neural Network Approach
Authors: Rende Sevinc
Published: October 2021

During the last twenty years, there have been strong supporters of foreignaid, and equally strong critiques. The debate is based on an effort to establish acausal relationship between foreign aid and economic growth, and it is still ongoing.Rather than seeking to uncover the causal relationships, I examine foreign aid andits relation to structural indicators in aid dependent countries using a special typeof artificial neural networks, known as Kohonen maps. The findings suggest thataid allocation and coordination could be based on institutional and climate-basedsimilarities across recipient countries rather than the geographical proximity or thecultural ties, or preferences, between the donor and recipient countries.

Published: October 2021

This paper explores the effects of regional religiosity on the illegal financialactions of business executives. In particular, we examine the extent to which agencyand institutional theories may be used to explain fraudulent financial reporting andstock options backdating. Our findings indicate that religiosity has a negative influenceon illegal corporate activity but that this relationship is primarily limited to stockoptions backdating. Board size and independence are also shown to moderate therelationship between religiosity and illegal corporate activity. These results providesupport for an institutional theory perspective on mitigating executive opportunism.
A Model Relating CEO Social Intelligence and Strategic Engagement: A Study In Small Business Organizations
Authors: Katz Jeffrey , Rahim M. , Spiller Shane
Published: October 2021

Answering the call for additional investigation into microfoundations recentlyraised by organizational theorists and researchers, this study empirically investigatesthe relationship between social intelligence (SI) and strategic engagement (SE)among U.S. small business chief executive officers (CEOs). SI is being aware ofkey social contexts, effectively addressing challenges occurring in those contexts,understanding the concerns of others and their related personal situations/emotionalstates, and building/maintaining positive relationships in social situations therebybehaving appropriately. SE refers to actively participating in the process offormulation, implementation, and review of strategies for the purpose of improvingthe competitive position of the organization. Opinions of observers (top managers)regarding their respective CEOs’ SI and SE were assessed with questionnairesto explore the relationship between SI and SE. Data analysis using LISREL 9.2suggests that social intelligence is positively associated with strategic engagementbehaviors among successful top executives. Implications for the selection of newCEOs and the training of existing CEOs are offered.
Measuring Levels of Fundamental Attribution Error Ascribed To Leadership of Entrepreneurial Organizations Across National Cultures
Authors: Fiore Robert , Lee Lee
Published: October 2021

This study empirically assesses respondent’s attribution to organizationaloutcomes across multi-national communities. As applied to entrepreneurship, theFundamental Attribution Error (FAE), nominally defined as the naturally occurringcognitive bias of humans to over-attribute organizational outcomes to leadershipdispositions and in the case of celebrity entrepreneurship, a heightened attributionto the news-worthy disposition of celebrity-entrepreneurs. Likewise, there wouldbe a biased and corresponding under-attribution of organizational outcomes tocircumstantial factors. Within this current research, respondents within differingcultures report on their perceptions of importance of founder dispositions toentrepreneurial outcomes. A survey instrument measuring differential dispositionand circumstantial attribution was developed and results showed strong FAE acrosscultures. Evidence was found that perceivers external to the organization exhibitstrong attribution error globally and that business leaders attribute business successto their own talents and reinforce FAE. A small difference in levels of FAE betweenindividualistic and collective cultures was found. Implications of the findingsare discussed in relation to organizational behavior, organizational development,organizational outcomes and rates of return on invested capital.
Status Incongruence In Supervisor Subordinate Dyads: The Effects On Subordinate Job Satisfaction and Creative Performance
Authors: Miller Carliss , Richard Orlando
Published: October 2021

Extant research on status incongruence has begun to explore the resultingtensions it may engender between supervisor and subordinate, yet it excludes therole of other demographic factors beyond age which influence status perceptions.We draw on role congruity theory to examine how organizational culture influenceswhether supervisor-subordinate dyadic status incongruence has a negative orpositive impact on subordinate job satisfaction and creative performance. We findthat status incongruence reduces job satisfaction when supervisor-subordinate dyadswork in a hierarchical organizational culture (i.e. low clan organizational culture),and job satisfaction increases for supervisor-subordinate dyads that work in a clanorganizational culture (i.e. high clan organizational culture). Furthermore, theseeffects on job satisfaction ultimately impacted subordinate creative job performance,supporting a moderated-mediation model. Implications for future research on statusincongruence are discussed.
Minimum Wage Laws and Top Income Shares: Evidence From A Large Panel of States
Authors: Frank Mark
Published: October 2021

Over the three decades prior to the onset of the Great Recession in 2007, theincome share of the top 1% in the United States rose by over 150% (from 9.3% to23.5%). During the same period, the real federal minimum wage fell by about 35%(from $8.92 to $5.76 in 2011 dollars). This paper uses a comprehensive panel ofU.S. states to explore the effect of changes in the real minimum wage on top incomeshares. Our findings indicate that the relationship between is negative in nature, butnot robust to small changes in the econometric specification or in the measurementof inequality.

SMS from these various considerations is feasible to use. The level of ownership of cellular phones and affordable costs are considerations that support the adoption of this technology to be widely applied for the application of information system development in the present and in the future.Distance and long time are no longer a problem that can hinder obtaining information about the exam schedule, the SMS received does not come directly from the sender, but comes from the SMS Center. So, before the SMS reaches the recipient, the SMS actually enters the SMS Center first,The PDU contains not only the message, but also a lot of information about the sender. Starting from the sender's number, the sender's SMSC number, the validity time of the SMS, and so on. Everything is built in the form of hexadecimal numbers. SMS-based student exam scheduling using AT Command GSM which is used as a command in communication with the serial port. Scheduling with the AT command technique is very effective as information for students.
The Design of MIMO Precoders Based on Decomposition Algorithms
Authors: Markkandan S , S Lakshmi Narayanan
Published: October 2021

The Wireless Communication over Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) channel increases transmission rate by splitting the input data stream into a plethora of parallel data streams that are transmitted in simultaneously. The goal of precoding at the transmitter is to divide the channel into numerous unconnected subchannels so that many data streams may be sent out at the same time. This article examines a MIMO precoder's performance utilising different channel decomposition method, as well as its computational complexity in terms of the number of floating-point operations (FLOPs). Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Geometric Mean Decomposition (GMD), LDLH, LU, Schur, QR, and Jordan decomposition are among the techniques discussed. According to simulation findings, precoding for MIMO based on QR decomposition beats all other precoding techniques based on channel decomposition in terms of BER performance and requires less FLOPs.
An IGSVL and SGSVL FinFET 6T SRAM-based novel power reduction technique
Authors: S Lakshmi Narayanan
Published: October 2021

The development of future portable integrated circuits will need to focus on power optimization. As the consequence of continuous current flow, the rise in leakage current in VLSI circuits has recently emerged as a significant issue to solve. It is feasible to reduce the threshold voltage while still decreasing leakage, as long as you don't compromise the other design objectives. An integrated circuit's ability to operate at low power will be more essential in the future. Using current scaling technologies, it seems that Fin FET may potentially be a more practical choice for bulk CMOS. Fin FETs are said to be better than ordinary CMOS transistors since they are double gated. For minimizing power usage, you should use twin gates that are driven simultaneously or independently. In this research, T-Spice is used to install Fin FETs in 45nm SRAM cells that were produced using SRAM cells made in various process technologies to reduce leakage in the circuits under discussion.

Brasil e suas raízes
Authors: Gomes Mariana da Silva
Published: October 2021

A Constituição de 1988 prevê que “todo poder emana do povo” com participação e controle social sobre a gestão pública. Escândalos de corrupção, cada vez mais frequentes, levantam uma questão: Quais características compõem nossa formação social, e também econômica, para justificar tantas vezes nossa passividade diante de escândalos crescentes na nossa política, economia e sociedade? É por meio da compreensão da expressão “controle social” em seus vários aspectos e de uma breve análise de um dos clássicos da formação deste país, Raízes do Brasil de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, que se buscou resposta. Conclui-se que o conceito hoje dominante de controle social, como controle da sociedade sobre o Estado, é recente. Torna-se delicado desenvolver o controle social da coisa pública, considerando as origens sociais e econômicas brasileiras enraizadas pelo personalismo, pelo favorecimento de interesses pessoais, pela falta de valorização do trabalho, pela baixa capacidade de organização e pela miscigenação.

Feminicídio/femicídio
Authors: Frota Loureiro Ythalo
Published: October 2021

Feminicídio (feminicide) e femicídio (femicide) possuem o mesmo significado semântico, conforme a doutrina da precursora do termo, Diana Russell. Feminicide e femicide são termos utilizados pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) para expressar o mesmo fenômeno jurídico e social. Com a introdução do crime de feminicídio, no Brasil, pela Lei 13.104, de 2015, houve uma preocupação de distinguir feminicídio dos crimes de morte intencional em que são vítimas pessoas do sexo feminino, o que tem produzido uma estatística apenas parcial dos crimes de feminicídio. Faz-se necessário, portanto, dar prioridade às investigações de crimes de homicídio em que a vítima é do sexo feminino, para ajudar no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas de combate ao feminicídio.
APONTAMENTOS SOBRE O CONCEITO DE GÊNERO E SUAS ARTICULAÇÕES COM O DIREITO
Authors: Capinã Botelho Costa Brenda
Published: October 2021

Em áreas como a sociologia, a filosofia e a psiquiatria, discussões sobre questões como sexo e gênero têm sido realizadas desde a segunda metade do século XX. Nesse trabalho, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica, intenta-se por apresentar o conceito de gênero e apontar algumas de suas articulações com o Direito. A compreensão deste fenômeno social tornou-se imprescindível para juristas, porquanto o direito à identidade de gênero passou a ser reconhecido em documentos internacionais como os Princípios de Yogyakarta e, no Brasil, tem sido entendido enquanto um direito da personalidade, com base em precedentes das cortes superiores pátrias.

Published: October 2021

Em Salvador, assim como em outras cidades brasileiras, a habitação reflete as disparidades do espaço urbano. Entre a produção da habitação social nas periferias no bojo do Banco Nacional de Habitação (BNH) e do Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV) e a construção de condomínios de alta renda, a cidade tem sido caracterizada por assimetrias socioespaciais. Neste artigo, discutimos tanto a atuação do Estado quanto do capital privado na produção da moradia e do espaço urbano. Nesse sentido, analisamos dois empreendimentos distintos em Salvador: Bosque das Bromélias e Hemisphere 360º, evidenciando os problemas urbanísticos apresentados por eles, tais como sua integração ao tecido urbano e o cumprimento da política urbana. Por fim, destacamos a importância da atuação do Ministério Público do Estado da Bahia (MPBA) na defesa dos interesses e direitos coletivos para a construção de uma cidade menos desigual.
