Abstract: |
|
Intranetworks of today often suffer from congestion problems due to the tremendous increase in traffic in recent times as well as irrational allocation of bandwidth to support this increased traffic. One of the fundamental problems related to design of intranetworks is determination of which messages to route among a given list of messages and the routes to be used for delivering messages between communicating nodes so that the revenue generated from routing these messages is maximized. This is known as the bandwidth packing problem. The objective of this research is to use an optimization based approach for solving the bandwidth packing problem for message belonging to multiple service classes. This will involve selection of a target group of messages from a list of messages with different delay requirements provided by the users (from a few nanoseconds for real-time full motion video to a few minutes for e-mail), and determination of the best paths for routing these messages. To do so, the messages are prioritized based on the delay requirements specified by the users and only a selected group of messages are routed during a given period of time. Our goal is to find an ‘intelligent’ message selection and routing scheme that provides an efficient and ‘fair’ resource allocation mechanism and maximizes the revenue generated from the usage of the intranetwork. |

Project Objectives One major objective of this project is to examine the direct reasons for international joint venture (IJV) termination. Previous studies identify a variety of factors that contribute to IJV termination in various environmental and organizational contexts (see Dhanaraj and Beamish, 2004 for review). Most of the studies examine how these factors affect the rate of terminated ventures over surviving ventures (i.e., a hazard rate) by employing an event history analysis or cross-sectional analyses (Gulati, 1998). However, they have rarely specified the direct causes of termination. The failure to examine the direct causes creates at least two critical problems: (a) the attempt to induce the direct causes of termination simply by the examination of contextual factors is inevitably subject to endogeneity problems (Shaver, 1998); and (b) the use of termination rate obscures the details of termination and does not provide any insights as to why IJVs are terminated, or what the critical reasons are that underlie termination. The second major objective is to build an integrated framework that incorporates two distinct perspectives of IJV termination. The first perspective suggests that IJV termination is inherently intended, and occurs when the initial purposes of the formation of the IJV are achieved. The second perspective suggests that IJV termination is inherently unintended, and occurs due to the emergence of ex-post conditions that hinder the operation of IJVs. Few studies have paid attention to the difference between the intended and unintended causes of IJV termination. This oversight has left a significant gap in the literature on both the theoretical and practical implications of IJV termination. Theoretically, research has failed to explain how IJV termination is linked to the formation and post-formation process of IJVs. Practically, research has provided limited insights regarding what kinds of IJVs, and under what conditions, are likely to successfully complete the initial purposes (intended termination) of their formation, or fail before achieving these purposes (unintended termination). The third objective is to explore host country specific effects on IJV termination. In this study we focus specifically on the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) restrictions on the likelihood of intended and unintended IJV termination. In many transitional economies and less developed countries, host country governments will impose FDI restrictions on foreign firms, including the access to local resources or markets, limits of foreign ownership, and local content provisions. Because of the FDI restrictions, foreign firms have to form partnerships with local firms to fulfill their purposes of FDI. In recent years, some host country governments lower or even remove the FDI restrictions on foreign firms. However, research has paid little attention to explaining whether and how much the change in policy towards inward FDI increases or decreases the likelihood of both types of IJV termination.

To study a model that integrates the corporate public disclosures and investment decisions with a stock market in which information acquisition is costly and prices are partially revealing. The analysis focuses on the link between corporate investment decisions and stock-price formation; to disclose decisions are studied in a setting in which an IPO firm chooses the level of public disclosure to trade off the effects of public disclosure on the cost of capital and investment efficiency. An equilibrium is derived in which the level of public disclosure, the amount of private information production, the amount of investment and the cost of capital are all linked to specific characteristics of the firm, of the information traders, and of the market. Comparative static results will be studied. Empirical and policy implications will be discussed; to examine the link among public disclosures, private information production, the cost of capital, and investment efficiency. |

Abstract: |
|
To identify a possible benefit of ICS outsourcing (e.g. the outsourcing of the design and implementation of internal control system), namely the flow of information from the client to its external auditor about the ICS quality that helps to better coordinate the audit effort and the ICS quality. Pae and Yoo (2001) point out that when there is asymmetric information regarding the ICS quality when audit fees are set between the client and the auditor, an efficiency loss due to a a suboptimal allocation of audit effort and ICS quality is inevitable. Outsourcing the ICS to an external auditor, who will also conduct the audit, will thus solve this asymmetric information problem and reduce the efficiency loss due to coordination failure. More importantly, I want to show that this informational benefit remains significant even when the auditor is a less cost-effective ICS provider, and is perceived to be less independent when it also provides ICS services to the same audit client; to determine the conditions under which the client will choose to outsource its ICS. |

Abstract: |
|
The overall goal of this project is to examine the role of short-sales constraints in securities markets. Our basic idea is that constraining short sales has two separatc effects on asset pricing, influencing both the allocational efficiency and the informational efficiency of the financial market. First, limiting some investors' holdings to be nonnegative is equivalent to forcibly increasing total demand for stocks. Doing this drives equilibrium prices upward and result in a non-Pareto optimal asset allocation. Second and more important, short-sales constraints also decrease the informativeness of the market price. In equilibrium, this increased "information risk" has the effect of decreasing current security prices, which load to higher future returns to compensate the additional risk. To accomplish this objective, we will develop an equilibrium model to analyze the effect of short-sales constraints on market price, price dynamics, investors' behavior and welfare, etc. |

Abstract: |

Blogs, or Weblogs, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Blog is a Web-based publication that allows users to add content periodically, normally in reverse chronological order, in a relatively easy way. Blogs combine personal Web pages with tools to make linking to other pages easier, as well as to post comments and afterthoughts (Blood, 2004). Instead of having a few people being in control of the topics of discussion (like in traditional Internet forums), blogs basically allow anyone to express their ideas and thoughts freely. Many free blog hosting sites are available. Sites like www.blogger.com, www.xanga.com, and www.livejournal.com, are a few examples.Many bloggers use blogs as a personal diary to keep a documentary of their daily lives. In addition, bloggers usually freely express their interests, views, and comments in blogs. One example of these comments is information about new products on the market or customers' image of a company. This is particularly popular for electronic or IT products. For example, every time when a new model of iPod (the portable digital audio player produced by Apple Computer) was out on the market, many bloggers expressed opinions towards the new product in their blogspaces. Another example is the case of Dell Computer. Recently, many bloggers have started to talk about their unpleasant experiences with Dell's customer service on their blogs. These bloggers further share their experiences through commenting on each other's blogs, which often amplifies their dissatisfaction towards the company. As blogging is becoming increasingly popular, it has become a major channel for consumers to express their views and it is important for companies to monitor and analyze customers' opinions and impressions towards their products and images. However, manually examining the large amount of blogs on the Web is a very time-consuming and mentually-exhausting process. Previous research has shown that much useful business intelligence information on the Web could be located and extracted automatically by software using various artificial intelligence techniques, such as text mining, document clustering, and document visualization (Chen et al., 2002; Chau et al., 2005). However, most of these techniques have not been applied to blog analysis. The proposed project investigates the use of noun phrasing, document classification, document clustering techniques in analyzing blogs. In the proposed approach, a Web spider (Web search agent) will first search the blogosphere for any blogs relevant to a company of interest. Noun phrasing techniques will first be applied to extract significant users' comments or opinions from these blogs. Document classification techniques will then be used to classify these comments into positive or negative comments (Romano et al., 2000). Document clustering and visualization techniques based on the self-organizing map algorithms, which have been shown to be effective in our previous research (Chen et al., 2002; Chau et al., 2005), will be applied on these documents to perform content analysis. The analysis results will be presented to the users in a graphical display. We suggest that such information can provide significant insight about a company's image and products. Experiments and user studies will be conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. |

By examining a transitional economy, we extend the literature on materialism by examining the effects of institutional changes such as changes in ideology and social institutions on the consumer's materialistic orientations; Using China as our focus, we examine the effects of institutional changes as encapsulated in catacysmic events that took place in China over the past half century; we extend the materialism construct to include dimensions relevant to buying and possessing status products in a hiearchical taste culture. |

Abstract: |
|
A number of typologies exist in the international business literature that attempt to capture the strategic and organizational roles subsidiaries play in the overall network. However, there is little integration of the theoretical propositions as well as the empirical results. The works on subsidiary types tend to generate relatively simple and easy to understand typologies in individual papers, but when taken together as a body of research, often confuse as much as they clarify. Our objective is to provide an integrative framework and subject this framework to a series of empirical tests over a sample of multinational firms based in the Asia-Pacific Region. Key Issues: Subsidiary typology research has tended to have followed distinctive patterns, both conceptually and empirically. o On the conceptual side, typologies are often generated as second-order effects from observed or idealized strategies for managing international operations, with subsidiary types corresponding to their roles in different types of international strategies. Typologies are also generated by focusing on one or two key variables that are posited to distinguish among subsidiaries, resulting in two, three, or four-part typologies that may be subject to further investigation. o On the empirical side, one pattern involves the extensive use of case studies. Another involves a limited research frame with larger samples of companies, but focused on subsidiaries in a small number of host nations or on companies from a small number of home nations.There are a number of problems with each of these patterns which restrict the research frame and integration of the results. For instance, on the conceptual side, common approaches suffer from the fact that the questions, "What types of international strategies are there?" and "What types of subsidiaries are there?" are certainly linked, but they are not the same question. In such formulations, the postulated roles of subsidiaries and, therefore the different subsidiary types, are limited by the conceptualization of the strategies. On the empirical side, the prominence of case studies suffers from the fact that while case studies are useful starting points for theory building, the case study approach may lead researchers to focus on subsidiary types that might be idiosyncratic to their case frame. We will address these issues in this study by building on a new organizational framework. The work is significant because it tries to offer a new way to think about subsidiary roles and strategy of multinational enterprises. Further, managerial implications will be generated as to how subsidiary roles impact overall strategy. |

To add to the available evidence on value-relevant properties of smoothed earnings. While both empirical and theoretical research have explored other reasons why firms might smooth reported earnings, the valuation effects of earnings smoothing are potentially the most important. Somewhat paradoxically, these valuation effects are hard to document, primarily because earnings smoothing is not easily measured, and theories have been offered to explain why in equilibrium firms smooth earnings to different extents. |

Abstract: |
|
A widely accepted notion among practitioners is that investors have better information about nearby firms than distant ones (Coval and Moskowitz, 2001). Coval and Moskowitz (2001) documented that active mutual fund managers earn substantial abnormal returns in local holdings. In this proposed project, we will examine whether the "information advantage" coming from "being local" changed post Regulation Fair Disclosure (Regulation FD). Regulation FD prohibits selective disclosures. If mutual fund managers gain the information advantages because local management provides more detailed information to them, we expect that the information advantage and the abnormal returns diminish after the Regulation FD. We also expect that mutual funds adjust their portfolio due to the diminishing information advantages, showing less preference for local stocks. If, on the other hand, the information advantage is mainly from the skills of mutual fund managers in analyzing publicly available local information, we would not expect a significant change before and after the passage of Regulation FD. |

Abstract: |
|
The importance of innovation in new
product developments is well recognized, in that developing and bringing to
market innovative products ahead of competitors can generate various benefits
in economic, preemptive, technological, and behavioral factors (e.g.,
Lieberman and Montgomery 1998; Zhou, Yim, and Tse 2005). A successful innovator therefore can outsell
even superior late entrants, build a large market share, and enjoy a
sustainable competitive advantage (Robinson and Min 2002). From this
perspective, firms should always invest heavily in R&D and speed new products to market, i.e., an innovation strategy is
key to long-term success. Some researchers, however, posit that the benefits
of innovation and early market entry may have been oversold. Golder and Tellis (1993), for
example, find that market pioneers continue to be market share leaders in
only 4 of the 50 product categories in their study. The average market share
of pioneers is only 10%, and their failure rate is 47%. In comparison, late
market entrants enjoy low failure rates (8%) and large average market shares
(28%). Schnaars (1994) shows that late entrants
overtake pioneers in various markets, including high-tech industries such as
personal computers and cameras, as well as low-tech categories such as food
processors, ballpoint pens, and light beer. According to this view, firms can
exploit the innovator’s efforts in developing the products and markets and
then overtake it with their improved products (Shankar,
Carpenter, and Krishnamurthi 1998; Zhou and Nakamoto 2005). That is, an imitation strategy is a wiser
choice for firms that want to gain a competitive advantage. To address this
hotly debated issue, this project compares the effects of innovation and
imitation strategies on performance and examines their contingency across
different market conditions in |
