Peeking into the Black Box of Researcher Mobility and Knowledge Diffusion
(2020-03-18)
This dissertation thesis presents four studies on the relevance of individuals’ mobility for the dissemination of knowledge. They add to the literature on the economics of science and innovation as well as regional economics. Previous literature has shown researcher mobility to be an important driver of knowledge diffusion and, subsequently, the creation of new knowledge. However, different mobility types are often correlated and hard to differentiate. This thesis tries to help advance this research strand, in ...

The Impact of Missing Values on PLS, ML and FIML Model Fit
(2020)
Structural equation modelling has become widespread in the marketing research domain due to the possibility of creating and investigating latent constructs. Today, several estimation methods are available, each with strengths and drawbacks. This study investigates how the established estimation methods of partial-least-squares (PLS), maximum likelihood (ML) and full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) perform with an increasing percentage of missing values (MVs). The research was conducted by investigating an adapted ...

Accelerating Entrepreneurial Decision-Making Through Hybrid Intelligence
(2020)
Purpose: Previous studies revealed that around 75 percent of all start-ups fail at an early stage. One main reason for this tremendous failure rate is that entrepreneurs are typically confronted with high levels of uncertainty about the viability of their proposed business idea. Following this argumentation, entrepreneurial decision-making can be defined as complex decision-making problem under both risk and uncertainty. While risk includes quantifiable probabilities, uncertainty describes situations where neither ...

Engaging Learners in Online Video Lectures with Dynamically Scaffolding Conversational Agents
(Association for Information Systems, 2020)
Online education creates new opportunities for learners, which has led to sharply increasing enrollment in the last few years. Despite these benefits, past research shows that the lack of individual interaction with educators creates low learner engagement that leads to high attrition rates, which remains a major challenge in the field. Dynamically scaffolding conversational agents built into online video lectures promise to address this problem by individually interacting with learners, similar to educators’ scaffolding ...

Towards Empowering Educators to Create their own Smart Personal Assistants
(ScholarSpace, 2020)
Despite a growing body of research about the design and use of Smart Personal Assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant, little is known about their ability to help educators offering individual support in large-scale learning environments. Smart Personal Assistant ecosystems empower educators to develop their own agents without deep technological knowledge. The objective of this paper is to design and validate a method that helps educators to create Smart Personal Assistants as learning tutors. Using ...
