Organizations regularly face serious challenges due to pandemics, recessions, and financial crises. One reason some organizations cope better than others may be that their management control systems (MCSs) more effectively foster organizational resilience. Despite considerable literature on MCSs and organizational resilience, there is a lack of res...

This article develops a model showing how information reporters influence information load among decision makers and generate supplier-induced information demand (SID). The intra-corporate information-providing process is an expert market with information asymmetry. I show that information overload occurs as an SID and is the result of informationa...

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into decision-making processes is key to improving organizational performance. However, trust in AI-based decision support systems (DSSs), similar to other information systems, is important for successful integration. A disruptive phenomenon, "algorithm aversion", can impede AI trust and, thus, acceptance. A...

In this article, we contribute to the longstanding debate among economists regarding the question of "nature or nurture" with respect to economics students' attitudes toward various allocation mechanisms for a scarce resource. While previous research starts the debate by beginning with first-year economics students, we aim to evaluate pre-first-yea...

Die Studie untersucht Entwicklungen und Trends im Nachhaltigkeitscontrolling, insbesondere hinsichtlich der strategischen Bedeutung der fünf Stufen der Nachhaltigkeit, sowie des Einflusses von Stakeholdergruppen, Zielsetzungen und Instrumenten anhand von drei Studien des Fachkreis Green Controlling for Responsible Business. Zudem werden Implikation...

In this study, we analyse the advantageous effects of neural networks in combination with wavelet functions on the performance of financial market predictions. We implement different approaches in multiple experiments and test their predictive abilities with different financial time series. We demonstrate experimentally that both wavelet neural net...

In this paper, we empirically show the dynamics of daily wavelet-filtered (denoised) S&P 500 returns (2000–2020) to consist of an almost equally divided combination of stochastic and deterministic chaos, rendering the series unpredictable after expiration of the Lyapunov time, resulting in futile forecasting attempts. We observe a clear distinction...

One domain of application of artificial intelligence (AI) is decision support, particularly in management. Although there are already research streams examining the interaction of AI and humans (e.g. the stream on "hybrid intelligence"), there are still numerous open research gaps – for example, a comprehensive overview of which factors favor the i...

This experimental study analyzes how a key factor, information load, influences decision making in escalation situations, i.e., in situations in which decision makers reinvest further resources in a losing course of action, even when accounting information indicates that the project is performing poorly and should be discontinued. This study synthe...

It has been suggested that information overload decreases decision-making performance. This study empirically examines the mediating role of information (over-)load on the relationships between two system features (deep structure usage and system quality) and managerial performance using a mixed-method-approach (survey and interviews). It analyzes...

In the light of the information age, information overload research in new areas (e.g., social media, virtual collaboration) rises rapidly in many fields of research in business administration with a variety of methods and subjects. This review article analyzes the development of information overload literature in business administration and related...

Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of environmental management control systems as mechanisms to translate environmental strategy into environmental managerial performance. Design/methodology/approach Based on survey data from 218 firms, the authors test a structural equation model. Findings The results show that environmental managem...

This study investigates the sustainability disclosure effects of the introduction of the Companies Act 2006 Regulations 2013 in the United Kingdom. The regulation mandates the disclosure of information on greenhouse gas emissions, gender distribution and human rights issues. We examine two research questions: first, whether firms increased disclosu...

Purpose Cultural studies in business and economics research are still limited to particular cultures. Knowledge on cultural differences may help international corporations to adapt management practices according to the markets they are operating in. The purpose of this paper is to study the issue of escalation of commitment and framing in a new cu...

This study investigates the role of environmental management control systems as mechanisms to translate environmental strategy into environmental managerial performance. While prior research focuses primarily on environmental performance at the organizational level, this study specifically addresses individual managerial performance with regard to...

This study analyzes how information influences decision making in escalation of situations. In those situations decision makers follow a losing course of action and invest further resources even when accounting information indicates that the project is performing poorly and should be discontinued. We conducted two experiments with Chinese participa...

This study analyzes the renegotiations that take place between institutionalized public–private partnerships (PPPs) and their public clients drawing on survey data on the PPPs of the German Federal Armed Forces. Generally, both the party that initiates such renegotiations and the time at which renegotiations are launched determine the outcome of th...

This experimental study analyzes how two key factors, information load and creativity, influence decision making in escalation situations in which decision makers reinvest further resources in a losing course of action even when information indicates that the IT project is performing poorly and should be discontinued. Whereas previous studies focus...

This paper investigates how management control systems (MCS) may be used to translate environmental strategy into managerial action. Our results show that the impact of environmental strategy on environmental managerial performance can be fully mediated by environmental MCS. Thus, environmental MCS can be seen as an adequate mechanism to translate...

This study analyzes survey data on public-private partnerships (PPPs) of the German Armed Forces. The analyzed PPPs are unique in that the German Federal Ministry of Defence, a government institution, has a dual role as a main shareholder and a major customer. Drawing on these data, the present article analyzes how a government institution influenc...

This article explores the relationships between innovation idea value, innovators’ perceptions of fairness, and their participation behavior and knowledge sharing behavior in the intrafirm social network. The study uses survey data and a database from a large company that is one of Europe’s top performers in idea management. In addition to the idea...

The design of the regulatory system has a major impact on the business strategy and the functions of a regulated network operator. A complete change of the regulatory system such as the switch from cost-based regulation to incentive regulation in the German electricity sector at the beginning of 2009 makes this impact particularly evident. Based on...

The present article analyzes the influence of the public shareholder on public–private partnerships (PPPs) that support public projects by supplying essential goods and services. The empirical analysis examines public–private partnerships involving the German Federal Ministry of Defense. The main characteristic of these PPPs is the dual role of the...
