Protecting Sensitive Information in Mobile Information Systems (ISs)
No full text76 p. This paper was completed as part of the final research component in the University of Oregon Applied Information Management Master's Degree Program [see htpp://aim.uoregon.edu].As the number of mobile information systems (ISs) increases, so does the amount of data-at-rest (DAR) susceptible to attacks. Literature published from 2001 to 2010 is examined to describe (a) 13 selected standards, regulations, and policies requiring DAR security solutions; and (b) currently available DAR security solutions of two types: hardware (encryption) and applications. Focus is on affordability and interoperability. Solutions are presented as a guide to help curb loss of DAR and identity theft

An opportunity to profit from recent entrepreneurship theory
No full textWe offer a brief rejoinder to a recent critique published in the Journal of Business Venturing Insights. We look past the unprofessional tone of the critique to seek opportunities to clarify the positions we took in our work and to explain the motivations behind them. We do so by articulating seven questions worthy of clarification. We conclude our rejoinder with a discussion about the notion of a “secret formula” for publishing novel theory and offer a few words of encouragement to other theorists interested in more constructive endeavors, such as building conceptual foundations for our field
"What is an opportunity?": from theoretical mystification to everyday understanding
No full textExpressions about opportunities are used unproblematically in everyday contexts. Yet, the question “What is an opportunity?” has posed a difficult riddle in the academic study of entrepreneurship. Drawing on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, we explain that such perplexities are common when words are removed from ordinary language and intellectuals try to grasp what they name. Approaching the opportunity riddle differently, we ask, “How do entrepreneurs use the word opportunity?” and elucidate an actualization theory of entrepreneurship attuned to the everyday understandings that underlie the meaningful use of the word. Bringing implicit understandings to the foreground contributes to (1) the dissolution of the mystification over the nature of “opportunity”, (2) the clarification of the conceptual foundations of entrepreneurship theory, and (3) the reorientation of the field toward more conceptually precise ways of thinking about Knightian uncertainty, entrepreneurial success, and the entrepreneurial process. This paper also contributes to the methodology of management studies, by demonstrating how attention to the logic of ordinary language can alert us to theoretical dead-ends and enable the development of theory that bridges academic and everyday understandings
“Clipping an angel’s wings”: on the value and limitations of philosophy in management research
No full textRamoglou and McMullen (2022) offers a logically rigorous extension and refinement of earlier work on the conceptual foundations of entrepreneurship theory – the actualization perspective of entrepreneurship. Leunbach (2023) and Mitchell, Israelsen, Mitchell & Hua (2023) have crafted two thoughtful and highly scholarly commentaries that help augment this theoretical perspective. The backbone of our rejoinder is the rebuttal of Leunbach’s criticism of our rejection of metaphysics. We clarify that there is nothing problematic with metaphysics in the sense of abstract theorizing, philosophical questions, or uncertain answers. What is nevertheless problematic is the metaphysics that emerge when linguistic confusions derail our academic imagination. In defending our approach, we further demonstrate that the practice of “clipping an angel’s wings” – i.e., the practice of disciplining our theoretical imagination by means of philosophical analysis – is not a purely destructive endeavor. Far from that: the analytic method has a highly constructive component as well: it helps us increase conceptual clarity by laying out the ground rules that prevent our theoretical developments from becoming “nothing but houses of cards” (Wittgenstein, 1958: 118)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
