Abstract:

Online platforms, such as Meetup and Plancast, have recently become popular for planning gatherings and event organization. However, there is a surprising lack of studies on how to effectively and efficiently organize social events for a large group of people through those platforms. This thesis provides the first systematic study on key computational problem involved in organization of social events. We understand the Social Event Organization problem as assigning a set of events for a group of users to attend, where the users are socially connected with each other and have innate levels of i

Abstract:

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn offer the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with friends and family in our personal life through the social technology without seeing each other on daily bases. This different approach is already common to be used for the majority of people and brings new benefits to now-a-day global environment. The same users of these external social networks are working in companies with various internal collaboration and communication tools. This fact has become stimulus for the theory of using social network technologies inside of the organizatio

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to explore financial management strategies among administrators of small nonprofit social services organizations. This study addresses the gap in empirical literature with a specific focus on small nonprofit organizations. This study avers that the available literature on social service organizations is fundamentally flawed. It argues for a reevaluation of the available literature based on apparent errors in methodology and research design. The literature reveals that nonprofit organizational empirical research excludes small nonprofit organizations and dis

Business Administration/Management Information Systems<br>Ph.D.<br>The prolific use of social media tools such as blogs and wikis is leading several organizations to adopt these tools.

First, I investigated two-sided network externalities on seeking and sharing. My analysis shows that significant network externalities occur not only at the demand side, which

When teams are first formed, people connect instinctively and warm to other team members using their social skills. Only later do people appraise others for competencies and sk

This thesis concentrates on the question of the dominance of the harvesting sector of the Scottish Fisheries by fisher owned boats and the absence of company fleets of vessels. There are basically two approaches to fisher ownership of boats in the Scottish Fisheries; one sees it as based on local community, the other as a traditional form. This thesis takes issue with these views arguing that this social organization of fishing boats is strong and dynamic and is more in tune with developments in the small communities or on a traditional, moribund, form.

Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between a Black-owned radio station's organizational culture and its social impact. Although these constructs have been researched in isolation, there are no known studies that have considered whether a relationship exists between the two constructs. Furthermore, there is no evidence that either construct has been studied within the context of a Black-owned business. Businesses owned by Black Americans represent an important and fast-growing segment in the American economy and, therefore, warrant further investigation in order to
