Abstract:

The business model concept was first introduced in the early 1990s alongside the boom of the Internet. Although the Internet bubble has burst, the popularity of the business model concept continues to increase. It is being used more and more often by not just people in business management, but also the general population, as people, for example, talk about a successful start-up. Although it has become part of the vernacular today, the business model concept itself is lacking in theoretical roots. Thus, a gap exists regarding the business model concept. Its usefulness in practice has been prove

In this dissertation, I strive to enhance our understanding of the effect of entry timing on firm performance using both empirical and formal modeling techniques. I accomplish this through addressing three major unanswered issues in entry timing research.

Abstract:

Globalisation and rapid advances in technology have had a swift and substantial impact on the way organisations do business and the need to have a highly skilled and flexible workforce. Corporations have started to recognise education and training is not a cost but rather an investment in order to attract and retain the best workforce. Some organisations have centralised their education and training functions and established in-house educational facilities, sometimes labeling them as corporate universities. As corporations expand their range of education programs for employees, many are formin

Abstract:

Despite the intense scholarly focus on leadership development in corporate settings, the importance of developing good leaders in police organisations has received scant attention. The dearth of scholarship on police leadership means that the distinctive demands of policing are often overlooked in addressing the question of unique leadership requirements. This gap also suggests that we do not yet understand how the characteristics of policing drive a need for tailored approaches to developing police leaders. This research addressed this gap in the literature by initially exploring how seni

Abstract:

<p>An important creative decision for advertisers is whether to include a presenter in their advertising, and if so how they will select a suitable presenter. The VisCAP Model of presenter selection was proposed by Percy and Rossiter (1980) to assist advertisers when selecting appropriate presenters in their advertising, with the aim of enhancing branding and persuasion. The four main presenter characteristics of the VisCAP Model of presenter selection form an acronym for VisCAP. Thus, `Vis' refers to visibility and 'CAP' refers to Credibility, Attraction and Power.

Corporate enterprises are viewed as type 1 complex adaptive systems (CAS) operating within an external business environment.
