Issues in European business education in the mid-nineteenth century: a comparative perspective

This article explores the emergence of European business education in the mid-nineteenth century. Drawing on archival analysis the typological study which this article proposes, attempts to show that business education before 1870 seems to have been a geographically and institutionally broader expression than has been described up to now. It identifies four organisational models of business education and reveals that higher business education was not limited to the Higher Schools of Commerce alone. It concludes that the European states took, directly or not, an interest in business education well before the end of the nineteenth century.     

College eBusiness Programs

Abstract

With eBusiness becoming the norm for many business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions, companies are eager to hire trained eBusiness specialists and/or to locate in areas which can provide a pool of skilled eBusiness professionals. Schools of Business all over the country are beefing up their eBusiness offerings to fulfill student and industry demands. This paper describes the burgeoning need for eBusiness professionals and provides an overview of eBusiness programs offered by colleges and universities. The paper also compares the way three different institutions of higher learning in a midwestern community are answering the call for eBusiness programs and describes in more detail the program that is currently the most complete.     

The impact of AACSB accreditation: A multiple case study of Canadian university business schools

Over the last two decades there has been a significant increase in the number of university business schools seeking accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). Despite this remarkable growth there has been limited empirical research on this phenomenon. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, this research explores the impact of accreditation on four Canadian university business schools. Participants reported seven main effects, with the most important being enhanced reputation, leverage for change, increased management efficiencies, and focus on research. These impacts were influenced by the context in which accreditation took place. Environmental uncertainty as a contextual dimension is discussed. Copyright © 2013 ASAC.

Application controlled caching for web servers

Today's web servers must have the ability to deal with large data sets, and their performance mainly depends on the control mechanism of the disc cache. Though the cache replacement algorithms in operating systems generally perform well, application-specific policies can often perform much better. In this paper, we present the application-controlled caching in user space (ACCUS) mechanism for web server disc caching. With this mechanism, an application can schedule the service requests based on the cache status of the requested files to improve its performance so that the system can gain a high parallelism of CPU processing, networking I/O and disc I/O. An application can service the cached files with a higher priority to the ones not cached, which helps reduce the latency caused by disc I/O blocking. Meanwhile, the application can enforce a policy for domain-specific cache management to obtain a higher cache hit ratio. ACCUS is implemented in two web servers of different models, Flash and userver. Despite the great differences in architectures, the empirical results show that both servers can achieve high throughput under heavy workloads with ACCUS enabled. Performance analysis for two other typical web servers, Apache? and Zeus Web Server are also conducted and the results indicate that ACCUS can achieve significant improvement in performance.     

A multi-agent-based model for a negotiation support system in electronic commerce

This study proposes a multi-agent-based model for bilateral multi-objective negotiation in electronic commerce trading. The function and behaviour of several types of agents are discussed. These agents interact with each other in our negotiation support system model to create the most appropriate solution for both negotiating parties. In particular, we are concerned with a win-win negotiation approach in which agents seek to strike a fair deal that also maximizes the payoff for everyone involved. That is, if the opponent cannot accept an offer then the proponent should endeavour to find an alternative to make a trade-off. Against this background, a utility model based on fuzzy constraint satisfaction problems is proposed to ensure that these agents reach a solution that is fair for both negotiating parties if such a solution exists. The model uses prioritized fuzzy constraints to indicate how concessions should be made when necessary. In addition, by incorporating the notion of a negotiation argument into our evaluation model, the agents can sometimes reach agreements that would otherwise be impossible. Finally, a numerical example is given to display the applicability of the proposed approach for electronic trading assistance.     

User Perceptions of Mobile and Online Channels for Purchasing Financial Products

ABSTRACT

This study investigates users' perceptions of costs and benefits of mobile versus online, PC-based, channels for accessing financial information and completing financial transactions. Results indicate that, in the financial services context, the mobile channel has no perceived advantages over the online channel. The older online channel does have several perceived advantages related to transaction cost, risk, ease of use, meeting financial goals, and information accessibility. The channels are similar on four dimensions, but most of the similarities arise because the online and mobile channels enable purchase of the same financial products. Finally, users are more willing to use the mobile channel for less risky tasks (accessing information) than they are for more risky tasks (buying financial products).
