Robotic process automation is a disruptive technology to automate already digital yet manual tasks and subprocesses as well as whole business processes rapidly. In contrast to other process automation technologies, robotic process automation is lightweight and only accesses the presentation...

Am 2. und 3. November 2021 trafen sich in Braunschweig Fachleute aus der waldbezogenen Biodiversitätsforschung und dem Monitoring, um fundierte Ideen und Vorschläge zur Erstellung eines nationalen Biodiversitätsmonitorings im Wald (NaBioWald) zu sammeln und einen Überblick über das...

When organizations adopt artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize individuals’ negative emotions and accordingly match limited resources to them, strategic users are incentivized to game the system by escalating emotional intensities. The economic value of AI may be undermined by gaming...

We describe a context-sensitive model of choice, in which the selection process is shaped not only by the attractiveness of items but also by their semantics (‘salience’). Items are ranked according to a binary relation of salience, and a linear order is associated to each item. The...

This study seeks to understand how virtual meetings disrupt or propel the functioning of sports management organizations in Thailand during the COVID-19 pandemic, what is critical to executives meetings held during the time, and the impact on meeting attendees amid the public health crisis. A...

We study the determinants and the informational role of firms’ fixed income conference calls, a unique form of voluntary disclosure that deviates from the traditional multi-purpose firm disclosures intended for all stakeholders. We find that fixed income calls are more likely to be held by...

A key component of team performance is participation among group members. One widespread organizational function that provides a stage for participation is the workplace meeting. With the shift to remote work, roughly half of all meetings are conducted virtually. One encouraging opportunity that...

This study investigates why financial analysts participate in non-covered firms’ conference calls. Consistent with the view that firms benefit from information commonalities and complementarities with connected peers, we hypothesize that analysts are more likely to participate in a non-covered...

We investigate the effects of large group meetings on the spread of COVID-19 by studying the impact of eighteen Trump campaign rallies. To capture the effects of subsequent contagion within the pertinent communities, our analysis encompasses up to ten post-rally weeks for each event. Our method...

We examine determinants and consequences of ‘virtual’ shareholder meetings (VSM). Using a pre-Covid sample of voluntary VSM adopters, we do not find that firms choose the virtual format to avoid shareholders’ scrutiny. VSM are more frequent among tech firms, and firms traditionally more...

Project management teaching and learning (PMTL) designed to develop future project leaders requires both knowledge acquisition and practical application to ensure that theory and practice converge with deep learning. Many higher education institutions are shifting from an instructivist delivery...

Monetary Policy Committees differ in the way the interest rate proposal is prepared and presented in the policy meeting. In this paper we show analytically how different arrangements could affect the voting behaviour of individual MPC members and therefore policy outcomes. We then apply our...

Workers in knowledge-intensive industries often complain of having too many meetings, but organizations still give little thought to deciding when or how often to meet. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency and robustness of various coordination scheduling rules. We consider a situation...
