DATA VISUALIZATION OF ASYMMETRIC DATA USING SAMMON MAPPING AND APPLICATIONS OF SELF-ORGANIZING MAPS

Data visualization can be used to detect hidden structures and patterns in data sets that are found in data mining applications. However, although efficient data visualization algorithms to handle data sets with asymmetric proximities have been proposed, we develop an improved algorithm

Air Transportation System Performance: Estimation and Comparative Analysis of Departure Delays

The U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) is inherently highly stochastic. Yet, many existing decision support tools for air traffic flow management take a deterministic approach to problem solving. In this study, we focus on the flight departure delays because such delays serve

Understanding Dynamic Capabilities at the Subunit Level: Operational Flexibility and the Crucial Role of Organization Design and Information Sharing

Organizations are currently facing increasingly dynamic environments that require fast action in high-velocity settings. Recent research on dynamic capabilities purports that organizations need to build these capabilities to successfully confront increasing uncertainty. Among these capabilities, authors suggest that flexibility may be a

Reputation Building by New Ventures: Three Essays on Processes and Performance

Management scholars have established the importance of reputation for firm performance but the mechanisms through which reputation can be accumulated are still to be explored. While some researchers have proposed that reputation accumulates through causally ambiguous social processes and can be built

The Performance of Global Business Teams within Multinational Corporations: The Test of an Intervening Process Model

Global business teams are a critical component of the strategic management process of multinational corporations. In the context of this dissertation, they are defined as teams of managers who are responsible for a business or a function across several countries. Given their
