The Implications of Customer Prioritization on Lead Time - Starr, Amy
A common practice in todays business environment is to segment customers based on various characteristics, in order to provide a better service level to the top customers. This practice has logical grounding, because if a certain customer is highly profitable or purchases a large volume of product, the company would want to treat the customer in such a way to ensure the business continues. Segmentation can also be used to differentiate the company from their competitors by enabling the company to allocate more resources to those customers most likely to help the company grow in the future.

How to Respond to Antidumping Duties? Korea, United States, and the Rest of the World. - Brown, Andrew C.
This study examines the response of Korean steel firms after being assessed antidumping duties in the United States. The U.S. market represents the second largest export market for Korea (after China), but increased liberalization in the Korean economy since the 1997 financial crisis has strengthened the independence and competitiveness of certain industries and the economy as a whole. Multinational Korean steel firms have encountered highly politicized protection in the U.S. and have had to adjust their strategies accordingly. This study examines traditional alternatives to counter antidumping and other forms of protectionism before reviewing export trade data in affected product groups....

More than Just Money: The Impact of Traditional and Corporate Venture Capital Firms on Portfolio Company Performance - Sun, Xiao
In addition to initial financing, venture capital (VC) firms also provide other value-added contributions. Many VC firms and their portfolio companies consider these value-added contributions the most significant contributions VC firms make. The value-added contributions have been found to be different depending on whether the VC firm is a traditional VC firm or corporate venture capital (CVC) firm. Traditional VC and CVC firms have different investment objectives and possess different areas of expertise, leading to differences in the value-added contributions provided. The differences in the value-added contributions raise the question of whether the performance of portfolio firms is affected by...

Optional Budget Mechanisms with Verifiable Cost Signals: An Experiment - Bowen, Kevin
Past accounting research has indicated that budgeting systems are inefficient and fail to account for participant's non-pecuniary motivations in their decision making process. This study uses an experiment to investigate the effects of a verifiable cost signal submitted by the agent on a budgeting agency model in order to mitigate a management control problem induced by asymmetric information. The agent's cost signal is constrained to be truthful and can vary in accuracy in relation to a projects actual cost. The agent has private knowledge of cost, incentive to overstate it, and the ability to do undetected by the owner. This...

Performance Evaluation of Global Equity Managers - Roshak, Kevin
How does a “flat” world affect the global investment landscape? Historically, institutional equity managers have been separated into two groups: US and non-US. Managers with a US mandate typically only invest in stocks domiciled in the US, whereas managers with a non-US mandate only invest in stocks domiciled in other countries. However, there is a relatively new set of managers, known as global equity managers, who invest in both US stocks and non-US stocks. Many institutional investors see promise in global equity strategies for the following reasons: 1) If a money manager has skill, then a mandate with less investment...
