This research investigated the impacts of the diverse framings of corporate and activist NGOs website communications of a proposed Canadian oil-sands pipeline on participants' perceptions of a) the tripartite sustainability values of environmental safety, economic benefits and community social relations and b) the willingness to join the corporate and activist NGOs online networks. Given the importance of sustainability issues in business education curricula and research, the participants were drawn from a population of undergraduate students. They were exposed online to either neutral information (control group), or randomly exposed initially to either the Corporate or Activist NGOs website communications. These exposures were subsequently reversed creating a combined group exposed to both agenda framings. Results demonstrated the persuasive power of both communication framings. The Corporate communication created positive perceptions of tripartite sustainability values, whereas the Activist NGOs' created negative perceptions. After exposures to the opposite communications, the Corporate group's perceptions changed from positive to negative, whereas the Activist NGOs perceptions only became somewhat less negative. Also there was a stronger willingness to join an Activist NGO rather than the corporate online action network. The empirical findings reflect the powerful diverse impacts of agenda framing on a highly controversial societal issue. Concerned citizens, researchers, politicians and academics should not restrict their website consultation to just one framing of such complex wicked issues. The present findings also have important implications for developing a more balanced and ethical business curriculum in the area of sustainability and common good.

Since Major League Baseball instituted free agency in 1976, scholars have observed notable increases and decreases in player performance around their eligibility to negotiate as free agents. Beginning with a sample of 305 position players (non-pitchers), this study uses two competing theories of human behavior to explain such changes in player performance between their contract year (year before becoming eligible for free agency) and free-agent year (year after signing a free-agent contract) and explores the impact of player performance on organization revenue in the free-agent year. Based on a comparison of actual and estimated performance in the contract year, 51 players who underperformed were found to have improved performance in their free-agent year and their contributions to organization revenue exceeded their salary. In contrast, 50 players who overperformed in their contract year experienced reduced performance in their free-agent year and their salary exceeded their contributions to organization revenue.

This research work deals with modification of the color of paper in commercial clupak dynamic image registration. According to the standard technology of production of kraft pulp, from which the production clupak paper, the paper obtained is dark brown in color. Market demand is based on quality and price of the product. Step further in these demands is demand for certain balanced and brighter shade of color of sack kraft paper. Lately it is demanded from our company to produce sack kraft paper with lighter shade of color. This problem can be solved in two ways: by coloring pulp fiber and by bleaching it. Methods of production of sack kraft paper with lighter shade, as well as results achieved, will be presented in this document.

The main objective of this study is presenting usage of conjoint data in one of the multi criteria decision techniques (MCDM) ELECTRE II in the context of decision-making process. The approach has been implemented by establishing an objective ranking of private universities in the context of university candidates' preferences. ELECTRE II procedure is performed on the factors affecting the preference of private universities among candidates and the investment expenditure distribution of the universities. Preference data were collected by Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) method from 296 students who were in the preference process after 2016 university entrance exams in Turkey. The results obtained from CBC were used as input in ELECTRE II in order to determine a complete and objective ranking of universities. As a result, it could be seen how the rankings differ according to student preferences when investment expenditure areas of universities change the weights of factors. This approach also allowed us to describe the market situation in general thus each university could make a comparative assessment of its own.

Entrepreneurship is the most fascinating component of modern day economy. Lots of training programs related to entrepreneurship emerged due to this. This paper is an attempt to determine the impact of entrepreneurship orientation on potential entrepreneurs. In particular, the study takes into account the perceived benefits before and after the particular program and maps the gap between perceived benefits and actual delivery. A sample of 311 respondents (participants) is collected for the study. The participants were engage in an Entrepreneurship Development Program run by Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi (India). The paper discusses parameters around which Entrepreneurship Development Program is knitted. A structure schedule is prepared and data is collected on a five point scale in the beginning and at the end of the program. Collected data is fed to SPSS and gap between perceived and actual delivery is identified along with significance. Motivation to start a venture is also observed through structured approach. Necessary descriptive and inferential statistical tools are applied as and when needed. Results are presented trough necessary graphs and tables.

This paper provides some insight regarding the causes and implications of waste within Aid and Development programs and the impact on Aid effectiveness. In order to understand this better, a comparative case study analysis of three Aid and Development programs using a systems mapping process was used to identify major constraints within these supply chain systems. This work identified a complex matrix of nodal links within these systems that correspond to the flow of both funding and value creation. The findings point to Aid and Development supply chain systems being a closed loop system where much of the funding can be retained within the system and not distributed to the recipient to the expected level. Importantly this paper discussed a "law" of diminishing returns in Aid and Development programs, where it is identified that the larger the supply chain systems is, the more funding remains within that system and as such, it demonstrates that there are significant overarching constraints limiting the impact and effectiveness of Aid and Development to the end recipient.
