“Entrepreneurial orientation as a mediator of ADHD–Performance relationship: A staged quasi-replication study”

The entrepreneurship literature has suggested the criticality of replicating findings along with the potential for nuance when examining relationships within emerging market contexts. In this study, we seek to reproduce the findings of Yu et al. (2021) concerning entrepreneurial orientation (EO), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and firm performance using a sample of Russian SMEs. We conduct a quasi-replication study, systematically changing the data, measures, and construct within our empirical models. The results of our study are partly in line with the original study's findings: we did not find a significant relationship between hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms and EO. However, when we considered different sub-dimensions of EO (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking), managers with hyperactivity/impulsivity ADHD symptoms exhibited greater innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking, while managers with inattention ADHD symptoms exhibited opposite effects. We discuss the extent to which the effects of ADHD on firm performance in developed economies, as mediated by EO, are generalizable within an emerging economy.

“Environmental Color and the Cooperative Behavior of Children with Sensory Processing Challenges: An Exploratory Study”

The difficult challenge faced by occupational therapists and preschool teachers today is creating environments that benefit concurrently the behaviors of all children within one classroom setting. Occupational therapists and teachers design both the physical environment and the social environment for children with developmental needs across a broad spectrum of abilities. Children who have atypical reactions to sensory stimuli may benefit from a space with environmental color because it could act as a modifier for their attention in the environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of environmental color on the cooperative behavior of preschool children assessed with having one or more sensory processing challenges. It was predicted that walls with environmental color from focal colors (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red) would positively impact the overall cooperative behavior of children with sensory processing challenges relative to a wall of white color scheme. The male participant showed higher cooperation scores in all visible-spectrum focal color conditions compared to the white color conditions. The cooperation scores for the female participant were lower on all visible-spectrum focal color conditions, except for orange, as compared with the white conditions. The results of the two different case studies within the environmental conditions are illustrated with discussion and implications of the research findings.

“Environmental Law. Disrupted.”

The U.S. regulatory environment is changing rapidly, at the same time that visible and profound impacts of climate change are already being felt throughout the world, and enormous, potentially existential threats loom in the not-so-distant future. What does it mean to think about and practice environmental law in this setting? In this Article, members of the Environmental Law Collaborative have taken on the question of whether environmental law as we currently know it is up to the job of addressing these threats, and, if not, what the path forward should be.

“Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Initiatives & Firm Performance: The Importance & Role Of Firm Size”

This study employs an Effect Decomposition Regression (EDR) framework to analyze the impact of ESG initiatives on firm performance, focusing on the importance of firm size. A key finding of this study is that firm size matters in characterizing the relationship between ESG and performance. For large firms, ESG has a significant impact on total revenues, which is characterized by a U-shaped relationship where ESG initiatives initially have a negative impact on performance, and as firm investment on initiatives expand, the impact shifts to a positive influence as scores rise. On the other hand, smaller firms exhibit a monotonically increasing or incremental benefit from ESG engagement. This research underscores the necessity of not just controlling for size but examining ESG-performance behavior by firm size. From a policy perspective, it is clear that before universally advocating for ESG as a value enhancing practice for all firms, one must consider firm size.

“Estimation and Visualization of Digital Library Content Similarities”

We report on a process for similarity estimation and two-dimensional mapping of lesson materials stored in a Web-based K12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) digital library. The process starts with automated removal of all information which should not be included in the similarity estimations followed by automated indexing. Similarity estimation itself is conducted through a natural language processing algorithm which heavily relies on bigrams. The resulting similarities are then used to compute a Sammon-map; i.e., a projection in n dimensions, the item-to-item distances of which best reflect the input similarities. In this paper we concentrate on specification and validation of this process. The similarity results show almost 100% precision-by-rank in the top three to five ranks. Sammon mapping in two dimensions corresponds well with the digital library‘s table of content.

“Evaluating IT Integration Risk Prior to Mergers and Acquisitions”

Integration of IT systems and IT management processes is one of the major challenges in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process that affects all aspects of the merged business and is, therefore, crucial to the overall success of the M&A process. The purpose of this article is to highlight various types of IT integration risks and the associated costs that must be considered and factored in with the predeal negotiations in each and every M&A. This is important, especially because of the huge costs involved in integrating incompatible systems and meeting the mandatory regulatory compliance requirements. The article suggests looking closely at technical, managerial and user/application level risk factors as part of the M&A pre-merger due diligence. This effort would also evaluate the potential real costs of IT integration post-merger and contribute to the overall M&A valuation. Some of this approach is already widely recommended by M&A advisors and major consulting firms. The article recommends going even further by creating a national M&A IT integration database that provides anonymous inventory of IT integration risk factors and costs before and after an M&A to better understand how IT integration risk impacts the valuation and success or failure of M&As.
