Item An Accounting Capstone Workbook & Case Study(Liberty University Press, 2016) Brown, Sharon; Cummings, Dana; Healey, David; Self, StanleyItem Affinity Orientation (LGBT) Issues in America: The Legal Truths(2012) Hilier, Patricia; Cates, Steven V.Item Applying Constant Comparative Method with Multiple Investigators and Inter-Coder Reliability(NSUWorks, 2016) Olson, Joel; McAllister, Chad; Grinnell, Lynn D.; Gehrke Walters, Kimberly; Appunn, FrankBuilding on practice, action research, and theory, the purpose of this paper is to present a 10-step method for applying the Constant Comparative Method (CCM) of grounded theory when multiple researchers perform data analysis and meaning making. CCM is a core qualitative analysis approach for grounded theory research. Literature suggests approaches for increasing the credibility of CCM using multiple researchers and inter-coder reliability (ICR), but documentation of methods for collaboration on CCM data analysis is sparse. The context for developing the10-step CCM approach was a qualitative study conducted to understand the impact of webcams on a virtual team. To develop a methodology for the study, the researchers reviewed grounded theory literature to synthesize an approach for conducting CCM with multiple researchers. Applying action research, an integration of literature and practical experience conducting the qualitative study resulted in a model for using CCM with multiple researchers performing data analysis. The method presented in this paper provides practical guidance for applying CCM collaboratively and shares the researchers’ perspectives on the value of ICR.Item Applying Critical Biography Perspective to the Work of Frank Gilbreth(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2016) Gibson, Jane Whitney; Deem, Jack; Einstein, Jacqueline; Humphreys, JohnPurpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the life and work of Frank Gilbreth using a critical biographical approach to draw connections between his life experiences and the major contributions he made to management history. Design/methodology/approach – The research design is critical biography. First, a biography is provided that reveals critical incidents from his childhood, his early career before marriage, his life after his marriage and his key personality traits. Gilbreth’s major contributions to management thought are then considered in context of his biography. Findings – Although Frank Gilbreth is recalled for his contributions to management history through his work in advancing efficiency through motion studies, he should likewise be credited for his foresight of management theories related to the human element in organizations. The major influences on Gilbreth’s career include Lillian Gilbreth and Frederick Taylor. Research limitations/implications – A limitation of critical biography is that researchers cannot address causality but, rather, are focused on drawing connections between life experiences and significant accomplishments. Originality/value – Critical biography can illuminate theory and practice by providing greater clarity by examining concepts in depth and in context. The authors situate Frank Gilbreth’s work in the context of his lived experiences.Item Applying Resource Scarcity Theory to Franchising: The Effect of Industry Choice and Age on Franchise Success and Satisfaction(Small Business Institute, 2023-04-01) McDermott, Martin J.; Butler, DavidThis study investigates the impact of industry category and age on franchise business ownership and job satisfaction. The selection of industry choice and age of a franchise business owner could be explained through resource scarcity theory. The decision to become or not become an entrepreneur is based on access or possession of resources. In addition, resource scarcity might explain the type of industry chosen to pursue entrepreneurship. This quantitative study used a comparative research model to gauge whether industry category and age of the franchise business owner impact satisfaction on franchise ownership. Findings reported in this study indicated that, in contrast to previous research on non-franchisee entrepreneurs, age was not correlated to higher satisfaction in owning and operating a franchise. Moreover, significant differences in job satisfaction were identified across industries.Item Are Universities Unsocial With Social Media?(IGI Global, 2014-09) Hall, Linnea; Fudge, Tamara; Raineri, Ellen M.Item As AI Advances into 'Deep Learning,' are Robot Butlers on the Horizon?(2014) Banafa, AhmedItem An Authentic Self: Big Data and Passive Digital Footprints(2018) Williams, Lynne; Pennington, D.
