abr: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called abr.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Management; Accounting; Students; Work; Firms; Information; Employees; Company; Performance; Marketing; Organization; Year; Time; Advances; Brand; Self; Model; Education; Relationship; Industry; Trust; State; Use; Behavior; Variables; Microsoft; Gender; Strategy; Submission; Decision; Teaching; Knowledge; Days; Planning; U.s; Portfolio; Editorial)board)2015; Http://journals.sfu.ca/abr/; Arkansas

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Supply Chain Management Perspectives in the Public and Private Sectors by Heller, Jacob (2013) - Some have suggested that public sector procurement would benefit through the adoption of best known methods and strategies as implemented in private sector supply chain management (Larson, 2009). Finally, public sector procurement serves a broader range of stakeholders, places greater emphasis on accountability and transparency, and allows little or no flexibility for negotiation.

• A Complex Adaptive Systems Perspective to Appreciative Inquiry by Saadat, Payam (2015) - AI was operationalized as the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system’s capacity to comprehend, anticipate, and heighten positive potential; AI process, referred to as the 4-D cycle, represented a search for the elements that give life to a social system when it is most effective, alive, and constructively capable in economic, ecological, and human terms (Barge & Oliver, 2003; Cooperrider & Whitney, 2000).

• A Comparison of the Characteristics of Price Parity Constructs with Exchange Rates and the Potential Impact on Foreign Currency Translation by Holt, Paul E (2015) - Such knowledge is critical to PPP translation proposals; despite the theoretical economics literature and the theoretical accounting literature, it may be true that PPP translation methodologies might be highly meaningful and useful in some country pairings, but less useful, even harmful in terms of financial statement information content, in other country pairings. In 1974, the Committee on International Accounting suggested the possibility that purchasing power parity (PPP) constructs might be appropriate for foreign currency translation, indeed that such constructs might be superior to exchange rates for the purpose.

• Making it Easier for Companies to be Socially Responsible: Corporate Certifications and Other Incentives by Nay, Doug; Ogden, Denise T (2018) - Callison and Vestal (2012) recommended the L3C be shelved until or unless tax laws embraced the L3C and gave the opinion that private foundation investment in social entrepreneur projects would not be optimized with the L3C. Murray and Hwang (2011) postulated that social business would be facilitated by the L3C. Tyler (2010) proposed a framework for governance, fiduciary duties to resolve the problem of solving two masters, profits and social missions and supported the L3C. Finally, Kleinberger (2010) in his Delaware Law Review took the position that attracting foundation investments though a tranching strategy was “flatly wrong” and would not happen in a meaningful way. These trends are gaining traction as businesses focus more on corporate social responsibility.

• Sales Ethics: The Impact of Situational Factors on Gender Evaluation Differences Timothy Heinze, by Heinze, Timothy; Donoho, Casey (2011) - Prior studies have uncovered that 1) philosophical frameworks (moral idealism and relativism) impact ethical evaluations in sales, and 2) females are generally more idealistic than males (Donoho and Heinze, in press). In a macro marketing ethics model, ethical evaluations are antecedent to decision making (Hunt and Vitell, 1986). Keywords: business; donoho; ethics; evaluations; gender; heinze; research; sales

• Long-Run Risk of Dynamic Asset Allocation Strategies by Howe, Thomas S.; Pope, Ralph A. (2014) - For downside risk measures, L equals 0 for all observations above the benchmark while for risk measures which consider all observations L equals 1 for all observations above the benchmark. However, evidence that investors prefer positive skewness (Kraus and Litzenberger 1976) and that deviations below the mean weigh two or more times as heavily on investors’ minds than deviations of equal magnitude above the mean (Tversky 1990) suggests that downside risk measures are more appropriate than risk measures which consider upside and downside deviations equally.
