The Möbius-Kantor map {4 + 4, 3} [CMo, §8.8, 8.9] is a regular orientable map of type {8, 3} and genus 2. It is a 2-sheeted covering of the cube {4, 3}, branched over the centers of its six faces, each of which lifts to an octagonal face. Its (orientation-preserving) automorphism group is isomorphic to GL2(3), a double covering of the automorphism group PGL2(3) ∼= S4 of the cube. The aim of thi...

Although we expect managers to use the capabilities of business analytics systems to search for solutions and improve firm performance, we do not have a good understanding of the factors that motivate managers to undertake such search.
