        date: 2013
       words: 3796
      flesch: 40
     summary: In essence every college that has received AACSB accreditation and every accounting program that has received separate AACSB accounting accreditation (over 675 business schools and 175 accounting programs worldwide) has - according to the AACSB - shown initial excellence and high quality and has continuously improved during subsequent maintenance reviews. In this paper, the authors expand on this topic and address the value of accounting accreditation from the perspective of the market it serves, whether accounting accreditation has diminished in value because of the quality of the programs being accredited, and whether accounting accreditation is an idea that has run its course.

     summary: A surprise was that the second prior year’s eps was a slightly better predictor of the current year’s eps than the immediate prior year. Table IV shows the correlation of the eps of all eighty companies, but with one year additional lag (regressing the current year’s earnings against the company’s second prior year): Table IV: Correlation of One Year’s Earnings per Share With the Second Prior Year’s Earnings per Share.

      flesch: 51
     summary: The strategies include scientific positioning (objective, independent) and devices include appeals to authority, expertise, and the evolution of accounting theory. An earlier North American controversy in financial reporting that arose from the American Accounting Association’s Committee on Concepts and Standards for External Financial Reports led to the statement that, until consensus paradigm acceptance occurs, the utility of accounting theories in aiding policy decisions is partial (AAA, 1977, p.51).

     summary: “The proportion of students taking at least one online course has increased from fewer than 1 in 10 in 2002 to nearly one-third by 2010, with the number of online students growing from 1.6 million to over 6.1 million over the same period - an 18.3% compound annual growth rate” (Allen & Seaman, 2012: 3). Online classes do have advocates, with about a quarter of students preferring them to traditional classes because of convenience and flexibility.

     summary: The 82% (40 total students) who indicated that they viewed at least one link were asked to respond to the six statements in Panel B. As shown in Panel B, 90% of students agreed or strongly agreed with the statement I would recommend using the Elluminate links to other students. The authors find that there is little added benefit to teaching using podcasts versus written text, based on student scores on a multiple-choice exam.

     summary: Given the characteristics of Generation Y, it is becoming more important for public accounting firms to evaluate the structure of vacation time and flexible work arrangements in order to improve the level of job satisfaction among Generation Y employees. Considering the socialization process of Generation Y and the emphasis placed on an inclusive, team-oriented environment, a nurturing, positive work climate could provide a significant opportunity to reduce the rate of voluntary turnover within small public accounting firms.

     summary: 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.

        date: 2015
       words: 5029
      flesch: 54
     summary: 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.

     summary: This study integrates the theory of planned behavior and incorporates the impact of taxpayers’ trust and skepticism on their intentions to adopt online tax filing. The results indicate that higher subjective norm, positive attitude, higher perceived behavioral control, and higher perceived trust are linked to higher intentions of adopting online tax filing.

     summary: 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). In order to increase their degree of responsiveness and adaptability, companies can either design new organizational change methods or enhance the functionality of the existing approaches.

     summary: Consequently, when management nurtures the employees, they provide the support, which enhances the employees’ feeling of less effort-reward unfairness, leading to higher job satisfaction. These processes provide favorable outcomes for both employees by increasing job satisfaction, as well as heightening positive mood and the organization by reducing turnover, while enhancing employee commitment and performance (Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002).

Nichole Phillips Winston-Salem State University Felice Williams Louisiana State University at Shreveport Dorothy Kirkman University of Houston at Clear Lake This study examines the façade of conformity construct as a social mobility strategy employed by minority employees to enhance their social identity in organizations.

      flesch: 53
     summary: Image theory’s unique contribution to cognitive decision theory, however, rests in the pre- decision compatibility test. In image theory, decision makers pursue multiple goals at any given time and these goals are expected to be generally consistent with each other and not in conflict with the foundational values or principles of the person.

     summary: The positive association between industry expert auditors (EXPERT) and audit fees suggests that industry experts charge higher prices than non-experts. These results are consistent with the notion that industry expert auditors have high bargaining power when negotiating audit fees and do not engage in the lowballing practice.

        date: 2018
       words: 6106
      flesch: 42
     summary: 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.

If the agency relationship between owners and managers explains the need for governance mechanisms such as corporate boards, what explains the fact that boards may not always be prompt in addressing the agency problem?

For example, we divide the percentage of women business owners in a sector who are franchisees by the percentage of men business owners in that sector who are franchisees.

      flesch: 48
     summary: Research indicates that instead of viewing customer service as an external customer issue, perhaps it should be viewed as an internal human resource issue. Customer service reps blamed non-existent curfews or did not return calls at all leading customers to believe that Peloton was “hiding behind recent events as excuses, as opposed to transparency to the real problem”, a clear example of making a poor customer service experience worse.

     summary: Vandervoort (2006) advocated improving student emotional intelligence because those with higher self-knowledge tend to make better career choices, have fewer behavioral/emotional problems, and have higher scores on standardized achievement tests. The results were significant, confirming our hypotheses that the EI of accounting students at universities A and B, separately and combined, were lower than the EI scores of non-accounting business majors.

Based on a literature review, administrators such as deans, department chairs, and service learning managers have many challenges and potential opportunities associated with service learning in coordinating professors, students, and clients.

In response to Lengnick-Hall and Aguinis’ (2012) call for examining the practical value of HR professional certification, and using Lengnick-Hall and Aguinis’ individual-level propositions as hypotheses, this study compares 123 HR practitioners’ evaluations of HR certification based on attained education, membership in professional associations, and commitment to the HR profession.

     summary: We estimate that the actual number of AACSB business schools that are not choosing an SDG is higher since those schools were probably disproportionately less likely to respond to a survey asking which SDG they selected. To emphasize the importance of considering all business stakeholders, the updated standards included the new Standard 9: Engagement and Societal Impact, centered on business schools incorporating societal impact into their curriculum, scholarship, and activities.

     summary: The findings that such collective brands harm brand evaluation are robust across research studies and surprisingly, this effect is more pronounced among women, who tend to develop lower expectations of the consumer-brand relationship with collective brands. Through these investigations, compelling evidence emerges showcasing the potential of collective anthropomorphic brand appeals to significantly influence various facets of consumer brand evaluation, adoption or donation decisions, and the inclination towards word-of-mouth advocacy.

     summary: 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.

     summary: If multiple stock splits, in general, are associated with security prices, and if Wal-Mart and other firms in the retail trade industry with multiple stock splits have a greater influence on security prices than do firms without multiple stock prices, one might conclude that there is no significant difference between Wal- Mart and associated firms with multiple stock splits. In addition, when multiple stock split firms were compared to Wal-Mart, both groups’ wealth measure exhibited significant information content relative to security prices.

Organizational communication is the process by which messages are sent and includes: the monitoring of the types of messages sent, the selection of the appropriate channels, the values associated with those messages, the amount of information conveyed, the rules and norms under which messgaes are sent, and the organizational variables affecting the process like structure and outcomes measures (Andrews and Baird, 2005; DeWine, 1994).
