In this study, a model for strategic planning based on artificial neural networks is presented. This proposed artificial neural network model goes beyond projections and statistical analysis. Based, on an algorithm, the proposed model offers strategy optimization and assists management in...

We investigate the impact of delegating decision making to information technology (IT) on an important human decision bias – the sunk cost effect. To address our research question, we use a unique dataset containing actual market transaction data for approximately 7,000 pay-per-bid auctions....

Recent contributions to a growing theory literature have focused on the tradeoff between adaptation and coordination in determining delegation within firms. Empirical evidence, however, is limited. Using establishment-level data on decision rights over information technology investments, I find...

Mustafa (pbuh) Science and Technology Foundation (MSTF) has started its activities within a specifically developed framework to honor the scientists of the Islamic world and appreciate their efforts, along with training future scientists worldwide. The MSTF tries to develop cooperation, synergy,...

Based on the model and the concepts presented in Cugueró-Escofet and Rosanas (2013), that links justice in the MCS design and use to several states of goal congruence, we also incorporate the role of trust in managers as a crucial aspect of the informal organization. We are going to show that...

Social media have great potential to support diverse information sharing, but there is widespread concern that platforms like Twitter do not result in communication between those who hold contradictory viewpoints. Because users can choose whom to follow, prior research suggests that social media...

Platform ecosystems have become dominant structures shaping a range of markets. Despite the increasing research attention placed on platforms and their ecosystems, the basic model comprising the platform and its sides does not consider the constellation of firms that has emerged to assist...

Recent research has found evidence of bias in algorithms used for hiring. Though recent literature on algorithmic fairness focused on improving fairness in selection algorithms, little work has focused on algorithms used in the resume sourcing phase. Algorithmic fairness in the selection phase...

Security breaches of digital information represent a significant threat to the wellbeing of individuals, corporations, and governments in the digital era. Roughly 50% of breaches of information security result from the actions of individuals inside organizations (i.e., insider threat), and some...

Call centers' managers are interested in obtaining accurate forecasts of call arrivals because these are a key input in staffing and scheduling decisions. Therefore their ability to achieve an optimal balance between service quality and operating costs ultimately hinges on forecast accuracy. We...
