Editorial for the special issue on: BDA 2016

Business data analyses are the iterative and the statistical methodological that considered as a soul of business research and education and are the utmost targets for any academic institute that seek a high quality standards in these areas. This special issue, inspired by the Workshop “Business Data Analysis: A Crossroad Between Research and Education” (BDA2016), which was held at the college of business administration, Al Falah University (Dubai-UAE) in April 28, 2016, highlights several statistical tools that used in the business data analysis.

Perceptions of the Value of Introduction to Computer Information Systems

The introduction to computers course has been an important required core course for most college and university business administration graduates. Recent literature has suggested that the foundation course in computers, if not already obsolete, will be of little or no value to college of business administration graduates.More than six hundred business graduates participated in the study. The analysis included an investigation across six different departments, eight different majors, nineteen different initial and current positions, and twelve courses commonly required for business graduates. Results of the study indicated that the business graduates uniformly value the introduction to computers course. When compared to other commonly required business courses, only one (business communications) was perceived as being more valuable than introduction to computers. The results suggest that the introduction to computers course is extremely valuable for business graduates.

In terms of competition, launching CLO services will entail a number of challengers. In this paper we will figure out the critical success factors of CLO services. And then the strategic insight will be suggested.

Controlling for Selection Bias: The Role of Firm Size in Gains from Acquisitions

It is well documented that large firms are more likely than small firms to execute acquisitions while the announcement day returns are lower than acquisitions by small firms. Our paper explores a new explanation for this result: acquisitions announced by large firms are anticipated by the market and the announcement changes little while announcements by small firms of presumably value increasing acquisitions are unanticipated and the market reacts positively. To support this explanation, we employ a Heckman selection model that accounts for the endogeneous selection of firms into the most advantageous acquisitions and the market’s expectation about the propensity for a firm to pursue acquisitions. Using two novel instruments to correct for the potential bias in the common least-squared regressions that consistently show a negative relationship between firm size and announcement day returns, we find that the negative impact of firm size on acquisition returns becomes insignificant (and often positive). ∗We especially thank Yashar Heydari, William O’Brien, Mihai Ion, and Tia McDonald for their helpful discussions and valuable suggestions on this or an earlier draft.

Hedonic or Utilitarian : Why People Keep Using Social Network Services

Abstract Submitted：May 7, 2015 1 st Revision：June 20, 2015 Accepted：June 24, 2015* This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government(NRF-2012S1A3A2033474).** Center for Work Science, Yonsei University*** College of Business Administration, Seoul National University**** Center for Work Science, Yonsei University, Corresponding AuthorSocial networking services (SNSs) serve to strengthen people’s social relationships by providing ways for people to utilize such relationships especially like workplace. With the development of the internet worldwide, the number of SNS users is rapidly growing and a wider range of service ty pes have become available. In this study, we designed a research model with a focus on what makes people use SNSs at workplace and how it is associated with changes in relationship quality and their intention to continue using the services and analyzed data collected for the research model. Theoretically, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation was invoked and measured, in terms of hedonic and utilitarian values, and satisfaction and trust were adopted as variables of relationship quality. Data were collected from Facebook users using workplace, and a partial least squares (PLS) analys is was made on 188 data points. The analysis results showed that two forms of motivation-hedonic and utilitarian-are separated from each other in their influence and that utilitarian value is more important than hedonic value, especially when it comes to users’ satisfaction. In addition, the analysis found a weak relationship between satisfaction and trust in SNS environments; this was a little different from the results of previous studies.

Interview with Jay Nunamaker on “Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing”

Jay F. Nunamaker Jr. is Regents Professor and Soldwedel Professor at the University of Arizona. He founded the MIS department at University of Arizona in 1974, and the Center for the Management of Information in 1985. Dr. Nunamaker has over 40 years of experience in analyzing, designing, testing, evaluating, and developing information systems. His multidisciplinary research is built on a foundation of computer supported collaboration, decision support, deception detection and determination of intent. Nunamaker’s research has led to major breakthroughs in collaboration, decision support systems, and automated systems analysis and design. He is known for developing generalizable solutions to important classes of unsolved real-world problems, and testing his systems with scientific rigor. He was elected a fellow of the Association for Information Systems in 2000, and in 2002, he was the recipient of the LEO (lifetime achievement) Award from the Association of Information Systems, at ICIS in Barcelona, Spain. In a 2005 article in Communications of the Association for Information Systems, he was recognized as one of the most productive information systems researchers, ranking no. 4–6 for the period from 1991–2003 based on the number of papers in top IS journals. He received his Ph.D. in systems engineering and operations research from Case Western Reserve University. BISE: You were a pioneer in the field of group support systems. What do you see as some of the major accomplishments of the early years of collaboration systems, CSCW, and Social media? Nunamaker: Perhaps the most fundamental breakthrough was conceptual – the notion that teams could use technologies in ways that made them more successful. Once we had the concept, there were a lot of opportunities to explore. A lot of studies showed that groups using group support systems (GSS) could cut their project cycle times by 90 %, and cut labor hours by 50 %, while producing higher-quality deliverables. You may have heard the old saying, ‘‘Faster, better, cheaper – you can have any two, but you can’t have all three.’’ Well, collaborative work with GSS could faster, better, and cheaper – so it was a paradigm shift.

Employability of Business Administration Graduates in a University

Employability of graduates is one of the good barometers of successful academic curricula offered by the schools. The employers of business administration graduates must give credence to the efficiency or performance of their prospective employees. The study determined the employability of the graduates of Business Administration of a University in the Philippines. The findings served as the basis for proposed recommendations. The respondents of the study were the 215 graduates of the Business Administration of the biggest university in the Philippines. The researchers utilized descriptive research design. The research tool used in the study was the standard questionnaire adopted by the Commission on Higher Education and interpreted using simple percentage and rank. The study revealed that most of the respondents were locally employed, and salaries and benefits are the majority of the respondents answered in reasons for staying the first job. The study concluded that those who found employment landed on jobs in line with their course in the University. It was recommended that more training and experiential learning activities must be enhanced. Keywords-Business Administration, employability, descriptive method, Philippines

موقف الشباب من عمل المرأة في القطاع السياحي : دراسة حالة الطلبة في الجامعة الأردنية = Youth Attitudes towards Women's Work in Tourism Sector : Case Study : The University of Jordan

The study aims at identifying the trends of the youth towards women’s work in tourism sector in Jordan, through knowing the relation between social, demographic and economic variables along with the women’s work in tourism sector from youth perspective. This study also detects the challenges that prevent the women from working in the tourism sector and its relation with the social, demographic, and economic elements. In addition, it highlights the expectations and solutions that may contribute in increasing the involvement of women in the tourism sector from the youth’s perception. The community of the study consists from students of the University of Jordan (both male and female) from the colleges of Business Administration, Languages, History, Tourism and Archaeology, and Information Technology. The number of male and female students studying at the said colleges is (6’548) students. The number of students surveyed reached (1’321) female and male students, which represents 20% of the total number of students, all of which have been selected randomly and in a manner that commensurate with the community of the study. The descriptive analytical method was applied to the study, whereby a questionnaire tool was developed to measure the trends of the male and female students towards the women’s work in the tourism sector. Further, the program Statistical Package For Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data, where methods of descriptive analysis such as arithmetic average, standard deviations, and percentages were applied. Also, the method of test based on Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the difference between the averages of the different variables as well as testing the future variables. The study concluded that there is a positive trend among male and female students towards the women’s access to the labor market, but the trends of male and female students towards the women’s work in tourism sector indicate that: despite the existence of positive trend among male and female students towards the women’s access to the tourism sector with a medium degree, yet they prefer traditional professions over the work in the tourism sector. With regard to the impact of demographic, social and economic factors on the trends of the male and female students towards the women’s work in the tourism sector, the results show statistically significant differences between the trends of the male and female students towards the women’s work in the tourism sector due to sex and in favor of females. It also shows that there are statistically significant differences in the trends of the male students, their education term and in favor of the first year. There are also statistically significant differences in the trends of the male and female students due to the age and in favor of the ages between (22-24 years). Moreover, there are statistically significant differences due to the college in favor of Tourism and Archaeology college. In addition, there are statistically significant differences due to the number of the family members and in favor of 6 members. Lastly, there are statistically significant differences among male students towards the women’s work in tourism sector due to place of residence in favor of Badia residents, and in connection with female students in favor of the residents of villages.

The Effects of Design Attributes on Other Attributes and Product Evaluation

This study examines how consumers’ perceptions of a product’s design attributes influence their perceptions on other product attributes, and attitudes toward the focal product. This study explored image-related adjectives in order to analyze product attributes, which are categorized into design, symbolic, and functional factors. The empirical test results confirmed the mediating role of attitudes toward design, which indicate the overall preference about product design, between design attributes and attitudes toward product, while the hypothesis of the moderating role of design sensitivity was not supported. These findings revealed that design attributes have influences beyond the aesthetic value, as product design rouses symbolic value and delivers information about functions. Therefore, in the context of product development process, it would be effective to distinguish design elements that can strengthen advantages and * Corresponding author, Professor of Marketing, College of Business Administration, Seoul National University, #58-612, 1 Gwanak-Ro, Gwanak-Gu, Seoul 151-916, Korea.

Benchmarking as a Tool for Quality Improvement in College of Business Administration: An Application of AHP

Benchmarking as a Tool for Quality Improvement in College of Business Administration: An Application of AHP

An Introduction to Student Quality Circle at College of Business Administration, Salman bin Abdulaziz University, Al Kharj, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—An Empirical Study

Catch’em young for imparting hands-on rigorous academic training. This is what has been relentlessly pursued while dealing with the undergraduate students of business management who are to be thoroughly exposed to the whole gamut of quality work life. Whether they opt for corporate career or pursue masters or choose be an entrepreneur, their exposure to the dynamics of quality management must be ensured most likely at student level. Needless to say that the student is more adaptive to change of attitude, behavior, learning etc., and is prone to imbibing the changes without any resistance. One of the collaborative approaches gaining popularity globally is the Student Quality Circle (SQC), an initiative for raising the bar of quality learning and quality teaching. To the best of our knowledge, Quality Circle very much in the vogue, does exist at scores of manufacturing units in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but this has not yet taken roots in the academic field. This research is essentially a pilot study done at College of Business Administration, Salman bin Abdul-Aziz University, Al-Kharj. The concept “student’s quality circle” has been proved quite effective to a larger extent and its encouraging findings will prompt other colleges to opt for it. The study has done an objective analysis of pre and post session implementation of student quality circle and it has carefully measured its empirical impact on student’ s traits, attitude, learning, extracurricular activities, individual versus team chemistry, leadership, incubation of quality mind set, total quality environment, and student faculty relationship etc.

Behavioral Leadership Styles and Job Performance of University of Bohol Faculty

Behavioral leadership styles refer to the behavioral approaches faculty members applied in the classroom. Job performance is the sum total of a teacher’s execution in their classes. This study aimed to determine the behavioral leadership styles in relation to faculty members’ job performance in the three selected colleges, namely the College of Arts and Sciences, Teachers College, and College of Business Administration of the University of Bohol during the school year 2012 – 2013 and benefits in the process of devising mechanisms to improve quality of behavioral styles to job performance. Quantitative descriptive studies were utilized employing a standardized tool to determine the behavioral leadership styles of the faculty, the researcher-made questionnaires for the profile, and documentary analysis taken from the data of the University Human Resource Office was used in determining the job performance of the teaching employees and In-Depth-Interview (IDI) among faculty members of the three colleges. It made use of frequencies, percentages, and Chi-Square. Results showed that leadership style is not a predictor of faculty’s job performance. However, the job performance of the faculty with a task-oriented leadership style is significantly better than the people.

Consciência Ambiental, Atitudes e Intenção de uso das Sacolas Plásticas Não-Recicláveis

There is an increasing discussion regarding consumer participation in environmental preservation through the formation of environmentally conscious behaviour. However, little is known about the influence of awareness, attitudes and behaving intention that direct personal choices, when it comes to environmental issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship regarding the constructs of environmental awareness; attitude towards non-recyclable plastic bags; and the intention for using this product. For this purpose, a descriptive conclusive, survey type research was carried out, collecting a sampling of 279 students from a Business Administration College in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Data were collected through questionnaires,using the Likert scale with five points, in order to evaluate the degree of agreementin relation to statements thatmake upthe constructs surveyed. By way of modelling of structural equation, it has been possible to investigate the relationships between the three constructs: awareness, attitude and intention.Among the models tested, the one that showed the best fit reveals the positive impact of environmental awareness on the attitude towards non-recyclable plastic bags, as well as positive impact of attitude on the intended use of this product. The research did not confirm any direct influence of environmental awareness on the behavioural intention.

Self-medication among non-healthcare students of the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Objectives: The objective of the following study is to estimate the prevalence of self-medication among university students and evaluate factors associated with the practice. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted during May, 2012 using a pre-validated questionnaire distributed to 250 students of the 4 years of study at the college of business administration. Data were analyzed using PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 18.0. Chicago: SPSS Inc and results are expressed as counts and percentages. Chi-square test was used to evaluate significant association among the study variables and P Results: The response rate was 80% and all respondents were Arabs with 114 (57%) females and 86 (43%) males. Self-medication was practiced by 118 (59%) students and most (88.1%) of them obtained medications from pharmacies. About 21 (11%) respondents self-medicated with antibiotics. Only 34 (17%) and 16 (8%) of respondents were aware of bacterial resistance and rational drug use respectively. The most common reasons for self-medication were seeking quick relief (134, 67%), physician's advice of self-management (100, 50%), illness is minor (91, 45.5%). Common reasons against self-medication include risk of misdiagnosis of illness (160, 80%), risk of using the wrong medication (154, 77%), risk of adverse effects (140, 70%). Self-medication was practiced for headache or mild pain, eye and ear symptoms, gastric problems, cold, fever and allergy. Conclusion: Self-medication among non-healthcare students is common with high prevalence. Knowledge of students of reasons for and against self-medication was adequate, but awareness of respondents of rational drug use and risk of bacterial resistance in response to misuse was poor. Orientation courses/workshops directed to university students would be beneficial.
