Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second Long Range Planning special issue on PLS-SEMin strategic management research and practice seeks to further progress towards this goal. The journal received 41 articles for its special issue on PLS-SEM, twelve of which completed a thorough review process successfully. Based on the number of high quality manuscripts, a decision was made to split the special issue. In the first Long Range Planning special issue on PLS-SEM in strategic management (Hair et al., 2012a; Robins, 2012), the focus was on methodological developments and their application (Becker et al., 2012; Furrer et al., 2012; Gudergan et al., 2012; Hair et al., 2012a,b,c; Money et al., 2012; Rigdon, 2012). This second special issue provides a forum for topical issues that demonstrate the usefulness of PLS-SEM by piloting applications of this method in the field of strategic management with strong implications for strategic research and practice. As such, the special issue targets two audiences: academics involved in the fields of strategy and management, and practitioners such as consultants. The six articles in this issue are summarized in the following paragraphs.

Book excerpt: Researchers and practitioners appreciate the various advantageous features that PLS-SEM, as a component-based approach to SEM, offers in practical applications. Although strategic management research relatively early on recognized PLS-SEM's flexibility regarding handling various modeling problems in studies (e.g., Hulland, 1999), its usefulness is still not well established amongst many management and strategy researchers. Against this background, this Long Range Planning special issue on PLS-SEM in strategic management research and practice seeks to provide a forum for topical issues that demonstrate its usefulness in this field. Descriptions of the method, its empirical applications, and methodological advancements that increase its usefulness in research and practice are specifically emphasized. As such, the special issue aims at two audiences: academics involved in the fields of strategy and management, and practitioners such as consultants. Accordingly, theoretical, methodological, and empirical manuscripts with strong implications for strategic research and practice are included in this special issue.

Book excerpt: This article introduces and motivates an exchange of thoughts on the paper by Edward E. Rigdon in the first of two Long Range Planning special issues on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in strategic management published in 2012 and 2013. For 30 years, there has been a heated debate on the benefits and drawbacks of PLS-SEM versus those of its sibling, the covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) approach. Edward E. Rigdon's paper is a milestone that proposes a change of thought and encourages the long-required emancipation of the PLS-SEM method from CB-SEM. These developments will have a pronounced impact on the proper application of SEM as a key multivariate analysis method in the strategic management discipline, further enhancing the potential it has as a research tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores nonmarket strategy (NMS) in firms by invoking economic, political and philosophical perspectives. Featuring data from the USA, the UK, India, China, Mexico and other countries, the author links NMS to economic freedom, regional development, corruption and other national factors. Nonmarket strategy (NMS) refers to any part of a firm’s strategy that seeks to generate superior performance through means not directly associated with market activity, such as lobbying legislators, colluding with rivals to erect industry entry barriers and pursuing direct business-government partnerships. Decades ago, nonmarket factors comprised a minor, peripheral consideration in organizational strategy. Today, NMS is central to strategy development and execution. This phenomenon is driven by both corruption in emerging economies and cronyism in the developed world. Scholarly interest in NMS continues to increase and while much is known about the topic, some core questions still remain such as: Are there different drivers for and implications of proactive NMS versus defensive NMS? How do national environments influence firm decisions to pursue NMS? The data presented in the book explores many of these questions. Providing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis that includes elements of management, economics, philosophy and social sciences, this book is beneficial for scholars, practitioners, students, academics and policy makers interested in NMS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the last twenty years, research in data mining has seen a substantial increase in interest, attracting original contributions from various disciplines including computer science, statistics, operations research, and information systems. Data mining supports a wide range of applications, from medical decision making, bioinformatics, web-usage mining, and text and image recognition to prominent business applications in corporate planning, direct marketing, and credit scoring. Research in information systems equally reflects this inter- and multidisciplinary approach, thereby advocating a series of papers at the intersection of data mining and information systems research. This special issue of Annals of Information Systems contains original papers and substantial extensions of selected papers from the 2007 and 2008 International Conference on Data Mining (DMIN’07 and DMIN’08, Las Vegas, NV) that have been rigorously peer-reviewed. The issue brings together topics on both information systems and data mining, and aims to give the reader a current snapshot of the contemporary research and state of the art practice in data mining.

Download or read book Theoretical and Applied Mathematics in International Business written by Christiansen, Bryan and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, practical applications motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied for their own sake. The activity of applied mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics, which is also referred to as theoretical mathematics. Theoretical and Applied Mathematics in International Business is an essential research publication that explores the importance and implications of applied and theoretical mathematics within international business, including areas such as finance, general management, sales and marketing, and supply chain management. Highlighting topics such as data mining, global economics, and general management, this publication is ideal for scholars, specialists, managers, corporate professionals, researchers, and academicians.

Book excerpt: How smart companies are opening up strategic initiatives to involve front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Why are some of the world’s most successful companies able to stay ahead of disruption, adopting and implementing innovative strategies, while others struggle? It’s not because they hire a new CEO or expensive consultants but rather because these pioneering companies have adopted a new way of strategizing. Instead of keeping strategic deliberations within the C-Suite, they open up strategic initiatives to a diverse group of stakeholders—front-line employees, experts, suppliers, customers, entrepreneurs, and even competitors. Open Strategy presents a new philosophy, key tools, step-by-step advice, and fascinating case studies—from companies that range from Barclays to Adidas—to guide business leaders in this groundbreaking approach to strategy. The authors—business-strategy experts from both academia and management consulting—introduce tools for each of the three stages of strategy-making: idea generation, plan formulation, and implementation. These are digital tools (including strategy contests), which allow the widest participation; hybrid digital/in-person tools (including a “nightmare competitor challenge”); a workshop tool that gamifies the business model development process; and tools that help companies implement and sustain open strategy efforts. Open strategy has an astonishing track record: a survey of 200 business leaders shows that although open-strategy techniques were deployed for only 30 percent of their initiatives, those same initiatives generated 50 percent of their revenues and profits. This book offers a roadmap for this kind of success.
