Existing research on information privacy has mostly relied on the privacy calculus model, which views privacy-related decision-making as a rational process where individuals weigh the anticipated risks of disclosing personal data against the potential benefits. In this research, we develop an extension to the privacy calculus model, arguing that the situation-specific assessment of...

Workshop Description:
In this workshop, the focus was on faculty motivation as a major driver for the integration of sustainability into higher education institutions. For instance, discussion groups with students at the University of St. Gallen suggest that faculty’s authenticity in presenting sustainability issues is of major importance in order to fully integrate...

Investigating cognitive processes that underlie privacy-related decisions, prior research has primarily adopted a "privacy calculus" view, indicating privacy-related decisions to constitute rational anticipations of risks and benefits connected to data disclosure. Referring to psychological limitations and heuristic thinking, however, recent research has discussed notions...

Das Jahr 2014 war ein Rekordjahr auf dem Schweizer M&A-Markt. So stieg die Anzahl der Transaktionen um 33% von 315 im Jahr 2013 auf nunmehr 420 an. Auch der Fünf-Jahres-Vergleich zeigt, dass die Anzahl angekündigter Deals die Werte aus den Jahren 2010 bis 2012 übertraf. Noch positiver fällt der Blick auf die Entwicklung des Dealvolumens im vergangenen Jahr aus, das zuletzt 188,1...

While complaint management has received much attention, customer compliments and their systematic handling have been largely ignored. Based on two empirical studies, this article suggests that customer compliments bear great potential for benefiting firms, and gives recommendations on how managers can enable, stimulate, and amplify positive customer feedback.

Initié en 2012 par l’Université de Colombie-Britannique(UBC) sous la direction de la Professeure Luciana Duranti de la School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS) et soutenu par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH), le projet Records in the Cloud (RiC, http://www.recordsinthecloud.org) vise à...

We address the numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem for a partial differential equation involving the Jacobian determinant in two dimensions of space. The problem consists in finding a vector-valued function such that the determinant of its gradient is given point-wise in a bounded domain, together with essential boundary conditions. The proposed numerical algorithm relies on...
