Abstract:

We consider the stochastic process $Y_t = \sum\nolimits_{i < t} {s_w } (x_t ,x_i)Y_i /\sum\nolimits_{i < t} {s_w } (x_t ,x_i) + \varepsilon _t$, t = 2, …, n, where sw(xt, xi) is a similarity function between the tth and the ith observations and {εt} is a random disturbance term. This process was originally axiomatized by Gilboa, Lieberman, and Schmeidler (2006, Review of Economics and Statistics 88, 433–444) as a way by which agents, or even nature, reason. In the present paper, consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator of the parameters of the model are established. Connections to other models and techniques are drawn. In its general form, the model does not fall within any class of nonstationary econometric models for which asymptotic theory is available. For this reason, the developments in this paper are new and nonstandard.

Abstract:

Sofia Voutsaki has developed a very stimulating line of thought in her paper. In my view, one of the laudable traits of this paper is that it is characterized by the same tripartite structure which actually lies behind each scientific argument. Consciously or not, all of us start with a theory or a set of assumptions; we then proceed to methods in order to achieve our goal, i.e. to arrive at transparent interpretations of the past through empirical analysis. The analysis of empirical data is the end of the process, not its starting point, even if many people think it would be the beginning of our daily research work. The claim that the use of theory is unavoidable is often denied. Sofia Voutsaki's goal, as I understand it, is to make an attempt to narrow the gap between, on the one hand, mainly theory-driven research and, on the other, empirical analysis which is thought to be free from the unnecessary ‘burden’ of theory.

Abstract:

Building theories is important for advancing knowledge of management. But it is also a highly challenging task. Although there is a burgeoning literature that offers many theorizing tools, we lack a coherent understanding of how these tools fit together—when to use a particular tool and which combination of tools can be used in the theorizing process. In this article, we organize a systematic review of the literature on theory building in management around the five key elements of a good story: conflict, character, setting, sequence, and plot and arc. In doing so, we hope to provide a richer understanding of how specific theorizing tools facilitate aspects of the theorizing process and offer a clearer big picture of the process of building important theories. We also offer pragmatic empirical theorizing as an approach that uses quantitative empirical findings to stimulate theorizing.

Abstract:

Lofland and Stark (1965) put forward an empirically grounded theory of identity conversion to a millennium cult that has primarily been applied to religious contexts. Using largely retrospective observational data, this article examines the applicability of their model to account for the decision of some spouse abuse victims to leave or to return to their violent mates after a shelter stay. Tentative analysis suggests certain weaknesses in their seven stage, value-added process model of conversion. More rigorous empirical and theoretical reformulation and testing of their model appear warranted.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study presents a coding scheme for design protocols that is derived from Triple Process Theory postulating the existence of three categories of cognitive processes: spontaneous, deliberate, and metacognitive. We applied the coding scheme to think-aloud protocols of designers engaged in an open design task. Results show that all three types occur during designing. The scheme we propose has the potential to ground accounts of Triple Process Theory for design in empirical studies. We explore the relation between design sessions outcomes and shifts between cognitive processes.

Abstract:

Signaling theory assumes that it is necessary to signal investors to how they perceive company’s prospects. One of them is dividend announcements. The announcement of dividends is predicted to be a signal for investors in the investment decision making process. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of dividend announcements, both increases and decreases in dividends, on stock returns. This study is intended to find empirical evidence about market reactions based on signaling theory in Indonesia Stock Exchange on the period 2017. The analysis of this study uses the event study method and hypothesis testing carried out using different test paired sample t-test. The results of this study prove that the market reacts to the announcement of dividends. The market reaction is indicated by the value of abnormal returns, namely abnormal returns in the positive direction when the announcement of dividend increased and abnormal returns in the negative direction when the announcement of dividend decreased. The value of abnormal returns in a positive direction reflects the company’s performance in good condition, and vice versa. This result indicates that dividend announcements are a signal and contain information relevant to investors in the investment decision making process.

Abstract:

Purpose Many researchers and practitioners suggest a contingent instead of a “one size fits all” approach in business process management (BPM). The purpose of this paper is to offer a contingency theory of BPM, which proposes contingency factors relevant to the successful management of business processes and that explains how and why these contingencies impact the relationships between process management and performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors develop the theory by drawing on organizational information processing theory (OIPT) and applying an information processing (IP) perspective to the process level. Findings The premise of the model is that the process management mechanisms such as documentation, standardization or monitoring must compensate for the uncertainty and equivocality of the nature of the process that has to be managed. In turn, managing through successful adaptation is a prerequisite for process performance. Research limitations/implications The theory provides a set of testable propositions that specify the relationship between process management mechanisms and process performance. The authors also discuss implications of the new theory for further theorizing and outline empirical research strategies that can be followed to enact, evaluate and extend the theory. Practical implications The theory developed in this paper allows an alternative way to describe organizational processes and supports the derivation of context-sensitive management approaches for process documentation, standardization, monitoring, execution and coordination. Originality/value The theoretical model is novel in that it provides a contextualized view on BPM that acknowledges different types of processes and suggests different mechanisms for managing these. The authors hope the paper serves as inspiration both for further theory development as well as to empirical studies that test, refute, support or otherwise augment the arguments.

Full text

Abstract:

Using a resource-based approach to innovation, this study proposes an alternative innovation model to the existing market-based Product Life Cycle (PLC) model. In particular, this study explores how the attributes of corporate strategic resources affect product and process innovation patterns. This study covers the development of new theory, as well as the empirical validation of the innovation model proposed in this study. Based on survey data from 257 chief operations officers in the United States, the ‘resource-based innovation model’ was tested and validated through various analytical methods, such as clustering, discriminant, and structural equation modeling analysis. The main findings are that (1) companies relying on both knowledge-based resources (KBR) and property-based resources (PBR) tend to focus on product and process innovation at the same time, (2) companies relying heavily on KBR tend to centralize their efforts for process innovation rather than product innovation, (3) companies with low reliance on KBR and PBR tend to minimize R&D efforts in product and process innovation, and (4) in a dynamic market condition, process innovations serves as order winners, while product innovations serves as order winners in a stable market. This research contributes to the operational management literature by proposing a new resource-based innovation algorithm that helps to understand innovation phenomena that are difficult to explain through the lens of the PLC-based innovation paradigm.

Abstract:

Ethnicity has received much empirical and theoretical attention in the social sciences. Yet, it has scarcely been explored in terms of its relationship with the motivational principles of identity. Here it is argued that there is much heuristic and predictive value in applying identity process theory (IPT), a socio-psychological model of identity threat, to the substantive literature on ethnicity. The paper explores the potential psychological benefits of ethnic identification. Key theoretical strands from anthropology and sociology, such as the ‘relational self’ in ethnic identification, are discussed in relation to IPT. The intergroup dimension of ethnic identification is explored through the discussion of ethnic ‘boundaries’. Finally, the paper discusses the construct of ‘hybridization’ in relation to social psychology. This paper attempts to reconcile psychological and sociological perspectives on ethnic identification, advocating a multi-methodological approach. Key theoretical points are outlined in the form of testable hypotheses which are open to empirical exploration.

Full text

Abstract:

What are the distinctive traits that characterize work(ing) through (and for) a digital platform? In the burgeoning debate on the ‘gig economy’, a critical examination that comprehensively addresses this issue beyond specific examples or case studies is currently missing. This article uses labour process theory – an important Marxist approach in the study of relations of production in industrial capitalism – to address this gap. Supported by empirical illustrations from existing research, the article discusses the notions of ‘point of production’, emotional labour and control in the gig economy to argue that labour process theory offers a unique set of tools to expand our understanding of the way in which labour power comes to be transformed into a commodity in a context where the encounter between supply and demand of work is mediated by a digital platform, and where feedback, ranking and rating systems serve purposes of managerialization and monitoring of workers.

Full text

Abstract:

Constitutional design proceeds under the assumption that institutions have predictable consequences, but modern political science has not pursued the empirical verification of these predicted consequences with much vigor. I shall attempt to link the theoretical premises underlying one important aspect of constitutional design, the amendment process, with the empirical patterns revealed by a systematic, comparative study of constitutions. An examination of all amendments in the 50 American states since 1776 reveals patterns that are then confirmed using data from 32 national constitutions. The interaction of the two key variables affecting amendment rate can be described by an equation that generates predicted amendment rates close to those found in the cross-national empirical analysis. A constitution's length measured in number of words, the difficulty of an amendment process, and the rate of amendment turn out to have interlocking consequences that illuminate principles of constitutional design.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a behavioral theory of organizational vision.Design/methodology/approachBased on existing theoretical concepts and empirical evidence, this new theory development compares a diverse set of plausible logical, empirical, and/or epistemological conjectures so that highlighting occurs to form the substance of the new vision theory.FindingsThe approach takes the form of an emerging vision theory, which explains how vision attributes create an impact on organizational performance.Originality/valueWhile vision is core to the prevailing vision‐based leadership theories, little is theoretically and empirically known about attributes for effective vision. Moreover, there is no existing leadership theory, which explains the process by which vision attributes create positive effects on organizational performance. The paper proposes a vision theory to fill this gap.

Abstract:

Although media richness theory has received considerable empirical support in explaining individual channel use and could provide important insights into the explanation of e-consumer behavior, no studies have validated this theory in explaining consumers’ intentions to use online stores. Therefore, the objective of this study was to empirically test media richness theory in explaining consumers’ intentions to use online stores in their purchase process. An online survey was carried out and data from 749 consumers was collected and analyzed using structural equation models. The results open up a new way of explaining consumers’ intentions to use online stores, as they provide empirical support for media richness theory in a commercial context and link it with the theory of planned behavior.

Abstract:

The article tackles the analysis of the saving process by reviving a research methodology that explores mental representations and their economic implications. The conceptual background is updated to the latest interdisciplinary literature in behavioral economics and social psychology, extending the applications of construal level theory. The results are pointing out to a new way of understanding differences of opinion between groups (economists and sociologists) about saving behavior, usually considered irrational in the light of standard economic theory.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper is the second in a two-part investigation into the utility of structuration theory in urban analysis. The focus here is on an application of the theory to analyze the “ghettoization” of ex-psychiatric patients in the City of Hamilton. First, methodologies are developed for institutional analysis and for the analysis of strategic conduct, utilizing the concept of bracketing. Secondly, a structuration analysis is undertaken of the ex-patient ghetto. This requires an institutional analysis of the deinstitutionalization policy and of the process of ghettoization, and a focus on strategic conduct to explain local outcomes in the built environment. The empirical application of structuration theory provided methodological and practical insights, as well as requiring a substantial development of some theoretical constructs. We are satisfied that structuration theory has sufficient merit for empirical work to warrant continued development and assessment.

Full text

Abstract:

In studying waking images and hypnotic hallucinations, most psychologists have implicitly adopted Hume's sensory continuum theory: that perceived sensations and imaged sensations differ only inasmuch as the latter tend to be less vivid. The current research contrasts sensory continuum theory with an alternative theory: that the central innervation of waking images, especially vivid images, is neurally monitored and tacitly known. To the extent that vivid images demand a greater amount of central innervation, the image-monitoring process should register them more quickly than faint images, even though vivid images are closer to percepts on the sensory continuum. Consistent with image-monitoring theory and contrary to sensory continuum theory, waking subjects discriminated percepts more quickly from vivid images than from faint images. In contrast, deeply hypnotized subjects did not discriminate percepts most quickly from vivid images. The latter result suggests that deep hypnosis attenuates the monitoring process and, thereby, turns “centrally innervated” images into “unmonitored” hallucinations – the most vivid of which tend to be least distinguishable from hypnotic percepts.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the grounded theory empirical validation on key categories within a design-led methodology to envision urban futures. The paper focuses on the editorial products and the design concepts that constitute the heart of the approach. An original elaboration of trend clusters is presented as an exemplification of the outcome of this trend research approach. Although the approach was not created from the viewpoint of tourism and leisure, bibliographic notes on place-making complement it for this journal. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents empirical findings extracted by the means of the grounded theory, with the purpose to empirically validate two key categories (product and process) of a urban futures methodology. The methodology is an application of High Design, the process in use at Royal Philips BV for two decades. This methodology is contextualized within the constructivist episteme, as defined by the editors of this journal in a separate publication. Bibliographic references to place-making complete the paper. Findings The following findings are provided: empirical validation of the city.people.light communication platform (qualitative research); empirical validation of the city.people.light workshop practice (qualitative research); and bibliographic descriptions of the design process governing city.people.light and newly developed urban futures trend clusters, at European level, as an exemplification of the program/approach outcome. Research limitations/implications The paper is structured according to a multi-layered editorial focus. Empirical findings were generated at primary research level in a 2013-2015 grounded theory projected by the author. Furthermore, the author directed the research processes and products that are the object of empirical validation. Newly defined elaborations and a discussion thereof is offered, taking into account contemporary place-making issues. Practical implications The original design-based methodology is a structured practice in urban futures from applied sciences and corporate innovation viewpoint. In this paper, its key categories are empirically validated through the grounded theory. Additionally, outcome from the original foresight programs is presented and a bibliographic review is provided from the viewpoint of place-making. Social implications The co-creative methodology herein empirically validated is socio-cultural centered, with a strong drive to coutnerbalance the positivist and engineering corporate mindset through a humanistic concern for people. The framework in terms of place-making takes into account postmodern evolutions of the field. Originality/value The paper benefits from a unique mix of: epistemic note on tourism, leisure, and the future; original urban futures scenarios and design concepts from a world class corporate innovation program; and the actual empirical core of the grounded theory validation as performed in a dedicated research project. These three separate streams are mutually related.

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the struggle between the doctrine and reality in the process of theorizing Islamic economics that until now remains a challenge in building the science of Islamic economics. The process of theorizing is a problem of epistemology and methodology. As a discipline in the realm of social sciences, Islamic economics uses authoritative sources of Islam (al-Qur’ân and Hadîth), logic and empirical experience. Islamic economic theory is expected to grow from all three of these sources. In contrast to conventional economic theory, the theory of Islamic economics is expected to grow from Islamic doctrine or principle of economy and rooted in empirical facts. The methodology of Islamic economics play a role in integrating doctrine and empirical reality in the process of theorizing Islamic economics. This article describes the three sources of Islamic economic epistemology, the link between doctrine and reality, and the interaction and integration of doctrine and reality in the process of theorizing Islamic economics. Islamic economic theory that is born must have integrity and be tested on three dimensions: doctrine, rationality, and empirical experience.

Full text

Abstract:

The TRAP-Mind-Theory introduces a problem-oriented technique of philosophizing, based on the results of empirical research in cognitive psychology. Philosophizing is understood as the mental activity in which philosophical education is applied. In order to learn how to philosophize, students must perform the mental processes that philosophizing is all about. Those processes can be identified by making use of empirical findings of cognitive psychology. The observance of those findings leads to the matrix of contemplation, a model with three areas and four levels. People develop their thoughts to the next level by adding reasons (for themselves, others or all people) to the results of the current one. Reasons and considerations get tested by using the 5C-criteria (clarity, correlation, consistency, completeness, comparison). By breaking down the complex process of philosophizing into these steps, philosophizing with children and grown-ups becomes possible, teachable, and evaluable.

This essay reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on quality disclosure and certification. After comparing quality disclosure with other quality assurance mechanisms and describing a brief history of quality disclosure, we address two sets of theoretical issues. First, why don't sellers voluntarily disclose through a process of “unraveling” and, given the lack of unraveling, is it desirable to mandate seller disclosure? Second, when we rely on certifiers to act as the intermediary of quality disclosure, do certifiers necessarily report unbiased and accurate information? We further review empirical evidence on these issues, with a particular focus on healthcare, education, and finance. The empirical review covers quality measurement, the effect of third-party disclosure on consumer choice and seller behavior, as well as the economics of certifiers. (JEL D18, K32, L15, M31)

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to explore how relationship marketing can sustain the position as a major domain for academic research and avoid premature stagnation. Design/methodology/approach The paper outlines a process in which theory informs empirical research and practice, and at the same time, where practice informs empirical research and theory. This requires giving attention to the process of theorizing itself, rather than treating theory as an outcome. To facilitate this outcome, mid-range theorizing needs to be embedded in the processes. Findings The application of mid-range theorizing processes is illustrated. Examples are provided to show how a broader “transcending” relational network perspective informs empirical research, and to illustrate how marketing practice can be used to inform empirical research and theoretical knowledge. Originality/value New thinking is provided about enhancing theory development to ensure relationship marketing remains a major domain for research.

Abstract:

In this article, we develop an integrated moral conviction theory of student cheating by integrating moral conviction with (a) the dual-process model of Hunt–Vitell’s theory that gives primacy to individual ethical philosophies when moral judgments are made and (b) the social cognitive conceptualization that gives primacy to moral identity. We found empirical support for our proposed model in a study with 311 business students where moral conviction predicted student moral disengagement and subsequent unethical decision making related to academic dishonesty not only directly but also indirectly through ethical philosophy and moral identity. Based on these results, we derive specific implications for teaching and learning practice.

Full text

Abstract:

Practitioners in most firms use intuition to assign project managers to projects, despite this decision being one of the vital factors contributing to project management performance linked to sustainable utilization of resources. Extant research reveals the need to improve the project manager assignment (PMA) process. However, existing empirical studies are currently limited, thereby restricting our understanding of this process to a specific context. This study builds on this limited area by extending our understanding to other contexts. Questionnaires and interview surveys were conducted with 73 informants across 12 firms, covering several industries engaged in different types of projects. The results provide strong empirical evidence of unstructured and ineffective PMA processes that significantly affect sustainability issues in terms of a thriving firm such as project manager performance, project manager rewards, and project success. This empirical evidence is a contribution to existing project management knowledge for three reasons: (1) empirical testing of a project management theory for the first time, (2) falsification of the conventional understanding of the theory of PMAs by using the concepts of an index rather than a scale, and (3) adding depth to existing knowledge by extending our understanding of PMA processes.

Abstract:

In 1978, Jack Mezirow divulged the theory of adult transformative learning. For over thirty-years, transformative learning theory has inspired a considerable amount of empirical research and theoretical musing. The primary focus of this research has been exploring ways to expand the transformative learning process in adult education. The objective of this study is to extend the theoretical exploration of transformative learning by advocating a new model of the transformative learning process that contextualizes empirical research findings of neurologists, cognitive scientists and psychologists that is being termed here collectively as spiritual intelligence (SQ) theory.

Full text

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between high-commitment human resource management (HCHRM) practices and process improvement activities (i.e., manufacturing flexibility) by utilizing the theory of social exchange. We conducted an empirical study to discover the links between social exchange theory and process management from an HRM perspective. For the empirical investigation, we used data from 601 manufacturing enterprises provided by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy in South Korea. The research is conducted based on employees’ capabilities for process management as a mediator in the analysis of the impact of the HCHRM system on manufacturing flexibility (i.e., internally-driven and externally-driven flexibility). The results of the study show that the HCHRM system ultimately explains manufacturing flexibility through enhancement of employees’ capabilities.

Abstract:

Capturing and understanding innovation dynamics is a continuous challenge due to the difficulty of collecting process data and because it often involves multiple levels and units of analysis. Interest has been increasingly focused on applying complexity theory in explaining temporal and nonlinear characteristics of innovation because of its systematic paradigm for examining change in complex systems. Until recently, however, there is relatively little empirical support. This paper fulfills this objective by examining longitudinal data of Nylon innovation. Results reveal an attractor-shifting pattern accompanied by four adaptive cycles in the Nylon innovation process.

Abstract:

Today, there is a huge variety of theories, empirical models that explain different aspects of the human psyche. All this diversity leads to a «faceted» psychology (D.V. Ushakov). Is it possible to move from this state of empirical multidimensionality to a holistic understanding of the person? Ya.A. Ponomarev proposed two ways to solve this problem: the «top-down» synthesis and the «bottom-up» synthesis. The former involves moving from theory to empirical verification, the latter — from empirical models to the-oretical generalizations. A third way is also possible: integration «from above» and «from below» jointly, i.e. theoretically and empirically from a unified standpoint. This ensures the complementarity of theory and empiricism. This paper aims to study the possibility of cross-empirical individual-intellectual integra-tions on a cross-theoretical basis, which consists of V.S. Merlin’s theory of integral individuality, D.V. Ushakov’s structural-dynamic theory of intelligence, and J. Guilford’s theory of divergent (creative) thinking. The methodological bases of the study are the general scientific principle of consistency; the polysystemic approach, which involves both distinguishing several systems and combining them into a larger metasystem; the integrative approach in psychology. The main research methods were theoretical analysis, synthesis, and generalization. Three lines of integration have been outlined: a theoretical view and an empirical view implemented jointly, cross-theoretical, and cross-empirical approaches. Based on the study of the near causes and the causal process, the concept of causal chains has been developed. It al-lows one to study the changes and dynamics of individual-intellectual integrations. Homogeneous and heterogeneous causal chains have been identified. This paper is the first to suggest considering individu-al-intellectual integrations from the perspective of the causal chain. The results of the theoretical analysis can be used for empirical detection of individual-intellectual integrations as major components of educa-tional capital.

Abstract:

Opportunity recognition is a fundamental research issue in entrepreneurship which this paper empirically investigates for serial entrepreneurs. Initially key definitions and boundary conditions of opportunity recognition are explored to elucidate the relevant motivators driving serial entrepreneurs. After operationalising the various concepts, data is collected by surveying serial entrepreneurs (n= 77) based on pre-determined selection criteria. Since the study’s objective is to build solid theory on these new phenomena, descriptive analysis on the empirical results is provided. To test the hypotheses inferential statistics employing parametric and non-parametric tests are used. The findings reveal that the opportunity recognition behaviours are manifest among serial entrepreneurs, with few significant differences on how many new, major businesses have been pursued, or whether they can be said to be successes.

Abstract:

Abstract The article is of theoretical and empirical character. The main objective is to identify certain conditions related to the innovative ambidexterity of Polish startups. The objective implementation protocol of the study determined its structure. Its first part presents the most important theoretical concepts related to the presented issues. In particular, on the basis of the literature on the subject, analyses of the innovative ambidexterity. Moreover a start-up was equated with a company operating no longer than a year, which offers an innovative solution. Theoretical considerations provided the basis for the empirical presentation of the results of the author’s own research conducted in 2019 in Poland on startups. On the basis of the outcome it has been established the most important factors determining innovative ambidexterity in startups are: having access to external source of financing and to external infrastructure as well as the acquisition of a license/patent. Moreover it has been diagnosed that create innovation and simultaneously reduce in startups the tension between exploitation and exploration activities to a large extent rely on external sources when implementing their innovation processes. For the theory on management, the theoretical-empirical deliberations presented in the article may be a valuable source of information within the scope of the influence the particular elements of innovative ambidexterity have on startups. However, for entrepreneurs they may be an impulse in the field of effective use of the innovative ambidexterity in the process of building competitiveness of young companies in Poland.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the growth drivers of start-up firms from the process perspective. Increasing scholarly attention to the growth of start-up firms has led to a more sophisticated understanding of their drivers. However, the richness of the results is partly offset by both potential and real contradictions in the literature. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, 233 studies on the growth of start-up firms are reviewed using a process-oriented lens. Findings – The analysis reveals an imbalance in the use of variance-based empirical approaches to study the process-based phenomenon and some misalignments in the use of non-process-based empirical approaches to improve a process-based theory. Originality/value – This paper offers an original perspective from which to reconsider the relevant literature and provides useful recommendations for researchers to forge a path ahead in this field.

Abstract:

Efficient market theory states that financial markets can process information instantly. Empirical observations have challenged the stricter form of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH). These empirical observations and theoretical considerations show that price changes are difficult to predict if one starts from the time series of price changes. This paper provides an explanation in terms of algorithmic complexity theory of Kolmogorov that makes a clearer connection between the efficient market hypothesis and the unpredictable character of stock returns.

Abstract:

This paper challenges the results of the empirical literature in support of the neoclassical theory of export-led growth and provides a theoretical and empirical alternative. Contrary to the neoclassical theory, we argue that both exports and economic growth are preceded by a long and complex process of structural change and economic development. A cross-section regression analysis is applied to test the neoclassical hypothesis that exports lead to superior economic performance (higher growth of output), and our alternative thesis. The regression results strongly confirm our alternative formulation of exports and economic growth while failing to support the neoclassical thesis.
