The linkage between ethical judgment and ethical behavioral intention was investigated. The Multidimensional Ethics Scale
(MES) was used to measure ethical judgment ratings of hypothetical behaviors in retail, sales, and automobile repair scenarios.
Confirmatory factor analysis on a sample of 300 undergraduate business students showed that a model with three latent variables
representing three correlated ethical dimensions of moral equity, relativism, and contractualism, three correlated scenario
latent variables, and correlated residuals presented a good fit to the data. Further, structural models of the relationship
of ethical judgment to behavioral intentions revealed that behavioral intentions were more highly related to the scenario
factors than to the ethical dimensions across three scenarios. Adding a method factor to the model improved goodness-of-fit
and changed some structural model conclusions.

This paper identifies that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a negative effect on software piracy rates in
addition to consolidating prior research that economic development and the cultural dimension of individualism also negatively
affect piracy rates. Using data for 59 countries from 2000 to 2005, the findings show that economic well-being, individualism
and technology development as measured by ICT expenditures explain between 70% and 82% of the variation in software piracy
rates during this period. The research results provide important implications for policy makers and business practitioners
to help reduce software piracy.

In this article, we argue that firms in high-margin industries can benefit from founding family influence. Specifically, in
more profitable markets, the influence of the founding family provides an additional corporate governance-monitoring function.
The sample consists of 294 firm-year observations from 98 publicly traded companies headquartered in Sweden, representing
approximately half of all non-financial traded firms. Our support that the effect of family leadership in publicly held firms
should be assessed in relation to the intensity of industry competition.

Information and communication systems (ICS) impact their organizational environment in significant ways; hence, the design,
implementation, and use of ICS are inseparably linked to fundamental issues of organizational design and behavior. Current
research in the field of business and information systems engineering (BISE), however, is primarily technology- or practice-oriented
and concerned with the construction and validation of prototypes, whereas little attention is paid to theoretical insights
into organizational phenomena and relationships. In this paper, we argue that paying more attention to organization theory
would provide valuable guidance in addressing the close links between ICS on the one hand, and organizational systems on the
other. To support our argument, we refer to selected theoretical perspectives and highlight their potential relevance to the
BISE field.

Following Manne (1966, Insider Trading and the Stock Market (New York, Free Press)) we introduce a distinction between insider trading and market manipulation on the one hand and corporate
insiders versus misappropriators on the other hand. This gives rise to four types of alleged inside transactions. We argue
that the literature on insider trading has often targeted inside transactions type II, III and IV but that these arguments
do not necessarily hold for type I transactions. We look for consequentionalist as well as non-consequentionalist arguments
against type I transactions and demonstrate that these are hard to find. Throughout the article we refer extensively to the
economic literature on insider trading in order to overcome a relative divide between the economic, legal, and philosophical
discussion on insider trading.

We investigate the relationship between free-standing insert advertising style and coupon redemption. Results from two experiments
indicate that the propensity to clip a coupon can be enhanced by matching ad tone (emotional vs rational) to the nature of
a consumer’s primary motivation with respect to coupon usage. Moreover, this result appears to hold for consumers with both
procoupon and anticoupon inclinations.

A heterogeneous survey sample of for-profit, non-profit and government employees revealed that organizational factors but
not personal characteristics were significant antecedents of misconduct and job satisfaction. Formal organizational compliance
practices and ethical climate were independent predictors of misconduct, and compliance practices also moderated the relationship
between ethical climate and misconduct, as well as between pressure to compromise ethical standards and misconduct. Misconduct
was not predicted by level of moral reasoning, age, sex, ethnicity, job status, or size and type of organization. Demographic
variables predicted job satisfaction and organizational variables added significant incremental variance. Results suggest
the importance of promoting a moral organization through the words and actions of senior managers and supervisors, independent
of formal mechanisms such as codes of conduct.

For traditional retailers the customer pool is largely bounded in space, whereas an Internet retailer can obtain customers
from a wide geographical area. We examine customer trials at Netgrocer.com, and drawing on studies in marketing and economics
conjecture that exposure spatially to proximate others (through direct social interaction or observation), can influence decisions
of those who have yet to try. Trials arise from utility-maximizing behavior and the model is estimated as a discrete time
hazard. The data span: (1) 29,701 residential zip codes, (2) 45 months of transactions since inception, and (3) zip code contiguity
relationships. The estimated neighborhood effect is significantly positive and economically meaningful.

This paper investigates whether small businesses face financial constraints that affect their survival. A model of moral hazard
is developed in which financial constraints arise endogenously. The model predicts that higher private assets relax financial
constraints and have a positive effect on the firm’s probability of survival. The empirical analysis confirms that the entrepreneur
has a higher propensity to stay in business when she inherits capital. This effect is particularly strong for entrepreneurs
who switch from self-employment into wage employment.

A model of the effect of affect on economic decision making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The standard economic model of decision making assumes a decision maker’s current emotional state has no impact on his or her decisions. Yet there is a large psychological literature that shows that current
emotional state, in particular mild positive affect, has a significant effect on decision making, problem solving, and behavior. This paper offers a way to incorporate this
insight from psychology into economic modelling. Moreover, this paper shows that this simple insight can parsimoniously explain
a wide variety of behaviors.

The authors review the foundation for incorporating market concentration directly into consumer utility functions, and develop
a general equilibrium model to derive welfare-maximizing principles for optimal enforcement of antitrust policies toward concentrated
market structures, including merger policy. An intriguing result is that increased market concentration can fail to maximize
economic welfare even if a proposed merger might generate positive net efficiencies.

Business students are confronted early in their academic careers with examples of questionable acts and practices related
to individual and corporate integrity. The current study identifies four segments of students with respect to their attitudes
toward unethical behavior and is one of the first known attempts to understand country corruption and its impact on students
of business. Findings from a worldwide survey of over 6,000 business students suggest that corruption does breed corruption
and that business students in more corrupt countries have a greater likelihood than their counterparts in less corrupt countries
to equate legal and ethical. It appears that business students in more corrupt countries expect to use the law as their ethical
gauge in business decisions.

We analyze how an incumbent defends its competitive advantage with a focus on the under-examined methods of actively defending
against the threats posed by rival innovation. We describe, delineate and analyze the set of such defenses and their likely
effects. The set of such defenses differs substantially from many standard defenses, such as those aimed at defeating the
threat of imitation. The further study of these pre-emptive innovation defenses is important because these defenses are different
and because they can substantially affect the sustainability of firm profits and the pace of different of types of innovation.

Entrepreneurship and competitiveness dynamics in Latin America 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1
This study analyses the relationship between entrepreneurial dynamics and the level of competitiveness in Latin American countries.
Based on a stage of economic development model, we demonstrate that Latin American countries under the model followed different
paths related to competitiveness. These different paths can explain the effect of specific competitiveness conditions on entrepreneurial
dynamics in Latin America.

In this study we examine how venture capital (VC) firms influence the export behavior of their investee companies. VC firms
perform an important governance function for investee companies by providing monitoring and value-added activities. Drawing
on agency theory, the resource-based view of the firm and governance life-cycle theory we hypothesize that the relationship
between VC governance resources and investee exporting behavior is moderated by investment stage. Employing a sample of 340
VC-backed firms, our results confirm this hypothesis. Monitoring resources are most effective in promoting export behavior
for late-stage ventures and value-added resources in promoting export behavior in early-stage ventures.

This article addresses the question of whether lump-sum bonuses motivate salespeople to work harder to attain incremental
orders or whether they induce salespeople to play timing games (behaviors that increase incentive payments without providing
incremental benefits to the firm) with their order submissions. We find that lump-sum bonuses primarily motivate salespeople
to work harder—a result that is consistent with the widespread use of bonuses in practice, but that contradicts earlier empirical
work in academics.

Compromising the compromise effect: Brands matter 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Consumer behavior research has a long history indicating that preferences are influenced by the relative positions of members
of a choice set. The realism of this work, however, is somewhat limited because alternatives are typically labeled with letters
rather than with real brand names. We investigate the boundaries of prior research by testing whether preferences for alternatives
in compromise and superior positions generalize to a more realistic market scenario that includes choices between real brands.
In particular, we conduct two studies that examine if preferences for brands in a choice set are moderated by the inclusion
of more or less familiar brand names. We find that consumers prefer extreme brands when compromise brands are relatively less
familiar and compromise brands when they are relatively more familiar. In this scenario brand familiarity and not the position
of the alternatives determine choice. In situations where a choice alternative is superior, we find no moderation due to brand
familiarity.

Efforts to use nutrition education to combat the growing obesity problem in the USA have been largely unsuccessful. One possible
reason for the persistence of the obesity problem is the presence of consumers who discount hyperbolically. To counter this
phenomenon, sophisticated agents may try to employ commitment devices to protect long–term health goals from short–term consumption
decisions. This study uses data from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals to examine the impact of hyperbolic
discounting and use of commitment devices on individuals’ caloric consumption. The results suggest that obese dieters display
behavior consistent with hyperbolic discounting.
