CoB’s 2010 Faculty Publication Awards

What proficiencies do students develop while studying abroad? What impact does product assortment have on how a customer evaluates purchase risk and attractiveness? How can international investors identify opportunities for investing in small and medium businesses in China?

CoB’s 2010 Faculty Publication Awards recognize publications by our faculty that answer these questions. The CoB recognizes outstanding publication achievements based on previous three years of publication.

Awarded Best Educational Publication 

Clarke III, I., Flaherty, T., McMillen R., and Writght, N. Student Intercultural Proficiency from Study Abroad Programs. Journal of Marketing Education, 31(2), 173-181

The article represents the work, begun in 2005, of four JMU faculty members in their exploration of precisely how our students develop during a semester of studying abroad. The article is innovative in that it empirically establishes some of the areas of interpersonal development achieved during a study abroad experience. Heretofore, studies have reported broad student “transformations” without establishing the specific intercultural proficiencies that may advance while students study abroad.

Since its publication in August 2009, “Student Intercultural Proficiency from Study Abroad Programs” has consistently been one of the top-three, as computed monthly by Sage Publications, “most frequently read” articles in the Journal of Marketing Education (http://jmd.sagepub.com/reports/mfr1.dtl). The manuscript is also currently under consideration for Outstanding Journal of Marketing Education Article of 2009.

The Journal of Marketing Education is the top-rated education journal in the marketing discipline and is considered the “most influential journal in the field of marketing education” (Baumgartner and Pieters 2003, Journal of Marketing, April: 123-139).

Awarded Best Academic Publication 

Boyd, D., and Bahn, K. (2009) When Do Large Product Assortments Benefit Consumers? An Information-Processing Perspective. Journal of Retailing, 3, 288-297

The research examines the impact of product assortment breadth provided in retail stores on customer’s evaluations of purchase risk and attractiveness.  The study draws on the literature related to the Heuristic-Systematic Model (HSM) of information processing and the literature related to optimal stimulation level (OSL) in testing for the presence of two possible processing benefits provided by large assortments. To test their hypothesis, Drs. Boyd and Bahn presented two separate experimental studies. Their findings provide excellent implications not only for the retailing researchers but also for the retail managers.

The Journal of Retailing is one of the “premiere” journals in the marketing discipline. It is not only the oldest academic journal in all business disciplines, but also one of the most highly regarded ones.

Best Practitioner Publication Award

Liu, W. Q. (2007) Financing Alternatives for Chinese Small and Medium Enterprises: The Case for a Small and Medium Enterprise Stock Market. China and World Economy, 15 (1), 26-42

This paper examines financing alternatives for small and medium enterprises in China. This study analyzes recent policy changes and the development of China’s Nasdaq-type stock market and the extensive network of regional assets and equity exchanges, which are playing an increasingly important role in the financing activities of private businesses.

The discussions and analyses in this paper help private entrepreneurs understand new financing opportunities in China, and allow international investors to identify investment opportunities in listed and non-listed private businesses in this fast-growing economy. 

A slightly modified version of this paper also appeared as a chapter in the book “China’s Capital Markets: Challenges from WTO Membership” (ISBN: 9781845426569) published by Edward Elgar Publishing. The book became very popular among practitioners and academicians who are interested in China’s financial markets and system, as it was named the “Book of the Month” by Edward Elgar Publishing soon after it was published.
