In this study, we make a distinction between the pure version of a practice and ensuing hybrid variants and investigate how diffusion processes unfold for these alternative practice forms. Our empirical investigation in the Turkish higher education field demonstrates ...

Revenue management with minimax regret negotiations
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevıer Scıence Ltd, 2016)We study the dynamic bilateral price negotiations from the perspective of a monopolist seller. We first study the classical static problem with an added uncertainty feature. Next, we review the dynamic negotiation problem, and propose a simple deterministic "fluid" analog. The main emphasis of the paper is in analyzing the relationship of the dynamic negotiation problem and the classical revenue management problems; and expanding the formulation to the case where both the buyer and seller have ...

The maximum surplus in a finite-time interval for a discrete-time risk model with exchangeable, dependent claim occurrences
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Wiley, 2019)This paper investigates a discrete-time risk model that involves exchangeable dependent loss generating claim occurrences and compound binomially distributed aggregate loss amounts. First, a general framework is presented to derive the distribution of a surplus sequence using the model. This framework is then applied to obtain the distribution of any function of a surplus sequence in a finite-time interval. Specifically, the distribution of the maximum surplus is obtained under nonruin conditions. ...

Antecedents and performance outcomes of value-based selling in sales teams: a multilevel, systems theory of motivation perspective
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer, 2020)Firms are increasingly deploying a value-based selling (VBS) approach in their sales organizations to drive growth for new offerings. However, VBS adoption remains challenging, signaling that leaders need guidance to motivate VBS. Drawing from the systems theory of motivation, we examine motivational mechanisms at two levels-salesperson and sales team-to understand how to motivate, and benefit from, VBS. Using multisource data (i.e., salespeople, managers, archival performance) from 70 sales teams ...

Judgments of Capability and Conformity as Distinct Forms of Social Judgments, and the Way They Interact to Shape Evaluator Decisions
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Wiley, 2020)Objective Social judgments are evaluators' opinions about the social properties of a set of actors. Different types of judgments rendered by the evaluators and potential interactions between them may have major consequences for the actors who are evaluated. In this article, we distinguish between judgments of capability and conformity, and examine their concurrent and interdependent effects on evaluator impressions. Methods We investigate these dynamics in the context of authors competing for the ...
