IS Leadership is distinctive from leadership in general because of the special interface between Information Technology and business. As the increasing complexity and interdependence in the Information Systems Development (ISD) context, this study proposes to examine the IS leadership from a distributed team level. Based upon Social Interdependence Theory, we argue that the inherent high level ...

Researchers, pundits, and policy makers have long debated whether economic interdependence pacifies or provokes conflict among states. Here, I suggest how interdependence can do both. Valuable linkages offer a mechanism for signaling and coercion short of military violence that stands to increase moderate (non-militarized) conflict behavior while reducing more intense conflict or uses of force....

This study brings in the task interdependence as the antecedent for growing team social capital and increasing knowledge sharing among team members in IS project context in which heterogeneous members need to interact very closely. Data collected from 203 IS projects largely confirm the proposed research model. Between the task interdependence and team performance, the team social capital as we...

The transmission mechanisms of volatility between markets can be characterized within a new Markov Switching bivariate model where the state of one variable feeds into the transition probability of the state of the other. A number of model restrictions and hypotheses can be tested to stress the role of one market relative to another (spillover, interdependence, comovement, independence, Granger...

− Analysis test (parameter analysis) is very important in measurement and test of IC parameters. The key to solve analysis test problems is how to find out optimal characteristic variable group. In this paper, the mathematical model and application method of choosing characteristic variable group are described with the obtained experimental results. It provides the interrelation of IC variables...

This paper estimates the dynamic conditional correlations in the returns on Tapis oil spot and onemonth forward prices for the period 2 June 1992 to 16 January 2004, using recently developed multivariate conditional volatility models, namely the Constant Conditional Correlation Multivariate GARCH (CCCMGARCH) model of Bollerslev [1990], Vector Autoregressive Moving Average – GARCH (VARMAGARCH) m...

Management of intellectual capital is an important issue in knowledge intensive organizations. Part of this is the composition of the optimal project portfolio the organization will carry out in the future. Standard methods that guide this process mostly focus on project selection on the basis of expected returns. However, in many cases other strategic factors should be considered in their inte...

This paper studies dynamic price competition between two firms selling differentiated durable goods to two buyers whose valuations of the two goods depend on their own private type as well as that of the other buyer. We construct an equilibrium based on the key observation that the expected price of either good in period 2 is the same as its price in period 1 on and off the path of play. We sho...
