Olayan School of Business.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 33-35)The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between late 10-K filings and the family ownership structure. We examine whether family ownership is more or less likely to impact annual late filings practices. We rely on prior research that has investigated the reasons behind late 10-K filing and various theories associated with family firms to investigate a variety of controls for late 10-K filing. Our sample consists of 5842 late and timely annual filings from 2004 through 2010 for companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), and the National Association of Security Dealers Automated Quotations system (NASDAQ). We find that family firms are not more- less likely to have late 10-K filings when compared to non-family firms. We also find that small and younger firms are more likely to file late and firms having large audit engagements are less likely to file their 10-K reports late. Furthermore, we test our model for the family firm subsample and find leverage to be a strong predictor for a late 10-K filing for family firms

Olayan School of Business ; Second Reader : Dr. Bettina Lynda Bastian, Assistant Professor, Suliman S. Olayan School of Business.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 41-43)Marketing a social enterprise that sells luxury products is complex due to the duality of missions of a social enterprise and the heterogeneity of stakeholders. This case project attempts at segmenting the beneficiaries of social enterprises and examining whether or not highlighting the social mission when communicating the brand identity is beneficial or relevant. First, the terms ‘luxury’ and ‘social entrepreneurship’ are defined, and some marketing aspects related to selling luxury and to social enterprises are examined. Then a framework is presented to simplify the complexity of marketing a luxury social enterprise. An in-depth case study about Senteurs d’Orient, a social enterprise in Lebanon, is conducted and findings are examined to portray a real-life example of the complexity of the case. Finally, after applying the framework to the specific case of Senteurs d’Orient, recommendations are given to the management and to practitioners in the field.

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
Sara Winthrop Smith letter to Frances Casement, August 14, 1887
No full textLetter written to Frances Casement from Sara Winthrop Smith of Cincinnati, Ohio, August 14, 1887. Winthrop expresses the challenges of generating support for the suffrage movement among the conservative residents of her city, and encourages the creation of clear materials that make the argument for women's suffrage to be more widely distributed.
This item comes from the Frances Jennings Casement Papers, a manuscript collection comprised of letters and association records related to the founding and leadership of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. Casement (1840-1928) was born in Painesville, Ohio, and graduated from Painesville Academy and Willoughby Female Seminary. Her father, Charles Casement, supported abolition and women's suffrage and encouraged Frances to be active in social causes. Frances Casement established the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883, and shortly after became involved in the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, serving as its president from 1885 to 1888
