Modeling the effects of strategic flexibility, organisational learning on e-business adoption and competitive advantage : an empirical investigation
No full textThe role of intangible firm capabilities as a source of competitive advantage has come into prominence in marketing strategy literature, due to the Resource Based View. This paper applies the Resource Based View and hypothesizes that strategic flexibility and organisation learning, conceptualised as capabilities, positively effect e-business adoption and competitive advantage. Partial Lease Squares analysis suggest that theoretical constructs function as hypothesised and explain a significant variation on e-business adoption and competitive advantage. Firms adopting e-business should develop capabilities such as strategic flexibility and organisation learning and that vendor firms may segment their potential clients based on these capabilities
Exploratory factor analysis of African self-consciousness scale scores:
No full textThe current study is an exploratory factor analysis of the African Self-Consciousness Scale (ASCS), a 42-item self-report measure of Afrocentricity, or the degree to which African American individuals espouse African-centered cultural, social, and political identities. Previous research has produced inconsistent results regarding the latent dimensionality and psychometric properties of the ASCS. With a sample of 348 African Americans, the current study conducts a methodologically rigorous exploratory factor analysis of ASCS scores. The study also examines convergent validity of the measure as compared to a measure of African Americans’ endorsements of negative stereotypes of Blacks. Factor analysis produced strong support for a two-factor model of the ASCS. Further support for the validity of the ASCS was found when the factor assessing non-Afrocentric or anti-Afrocentric beliefs correlated significantly with the measure of stereotypes. This evidence strongly suggests that the ASCS is not a unidimensional measure. Implications of these findings for the use of the ASCS and recommendations for further investigation are discussed.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 33-36)by Ranjit Bhagwa
The relationship of skin tone to physical and mental health outcomes in South Asian Americans
No full textSince 1990, the South Asian population in America has exhibited massive growth, as large numbers of immigrants from India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries have arrived in the United States. Yet limited empirical psychological research has been conducted assessing race-related stressors in this population. Skin tone (skin color) has been linked frequently with physical and mental health outcomes in other American ethnic minority populations, such that dark skin tone typically correlates with poor outcomes. The present study demonstrated, in a relatively large sample of South Asian Americans, that darkness of skin tone negatively predicted self-esteem and self-rated physical health. Contrary to expectations, dark skin tone positively predicted general mental health. The study also investigates the mediation role of perceived discrimination and body image disturbance in these relationships, as well as the moderating roles of gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnic identification. The relationship of dark skin tone to low self-esteem, but not low self-rated physical health or high general mental health, was mediated via increased body image disturbance. Ethnic identification moderated the positive association between dark skin tone and general mental health, such that this association was strong at low levels of ethnic identification and reversed for individuals of high ethnic identification. Neither gender nor ethnic identification moderated the negative associations between dark skin tone and low self-rated physical health or low self-esteem. Implications and recommendations are discussed.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Ranjit Bhagwa
Explications of political market orientation and political brand orientation using the resource-based view of the political party
No full textAbstract This paper adopts the resource-based view of the firm as a platform foran examination of three important political party capabilities: proactive politicalmarket orientation, responsive political market orientation, and political brandorientation. We develop a theoretical argument outlining the importance of thecomplementarity between these capabilities. The approach taken illustrates thelinks between political market orientation, using what we label as responsivepolitical market orientation, proactive political market orientation, and politicalbrand orientation by building on the marketing literature. We suggest that ourtreatment of political market orientation is important in helping to understandbetter its role within the resource-based view of the party. Further, it also aides inunderstanding political market orientation and branding in political marketing byparties within the context of competitive strategies and electoral performance
