The reverse Matthew Effect : catastrophe and consequence in scientific teams by Ginger Zhe Jin( )

2 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 20 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

What are the individual rewards to working in teams? This question extends across many production settings but is of long-standing interest in science and innovation, where the “Matthew Effect” suggests that eminent team members garner credit for great works at the expense of less eminent team members. In this paper, we study this question in reverse, examining highly negative events – article retractions. Using the Web of Science, we investigate how retractions affect citations to the authors' prior publications. We find that the Matthew Effect works in reverse – namely, scientific misconduct imposes little citation penalty on eminent coauthors. By contrast, less eminent coauthors face substantial citation declines to their prior work, and especially when they are teamed with an eminent author. A simple Bayesian model is used to interpret the results. These findings suggest that a good reputation can have protective properties, but at the expense of those with less established reputations

Mobile telecommunications : two entrepreneurs enter Africa by Benjamin Jones( )

1 edition published in 2017 in English and held by 11 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Winner of the 2014 EFMD competition for best African business case. In the 1990s, two entrepreneurs made daring, early entries into mobile telecommunications in Sub-Saharan Africa, both seeing great market opportunities there. One firm, Adesemi, would ultimately go bankrupt. The other firm, Celtel, would ultimately succeed and make its founder, Mo Ibrahim, a star of the global business community. Why the difference in outcome? Emerging markets often present weak rule of law, bringing many challenges to business success; from the demand for bribes to regulatory obstacles, hold-up problems, and even civil war. This case explores strategies that can limit these critical non-market risks in foreign direct investment and entrepreneurship. Students will step into the shoes of both companies by exploring their entry strategies, wrestling with the challenges they faced, and diagnosing the reasons why a shared insight about a new business opportunity turned out to be prescient; and led to extremely different endpoints. - Identify key challenges to successful entrepreneurship in emerging markets - Evaluate government officials or competitors that might trigger regulatory obstacles or hold-up problems - Evaluate potential allies that can help avoid these problems - Assess strategies to avoid paying bribes - Understand the importance of incentive alignment in directing investment success, even in the face of difficult challenges - Identify and appraise the strategic value of partnerships with development agencie
