Behavior of e-HRM adoption: empirical evidence form organizations in developing context
2015

The model consists of four contextual variables such as innovation, individual, organizational and environmental. Data were collected from 212 firms in Sri Lanka by means self-administered questionnaire. Structural model was tested using Partial Least Square. Results indicate that innovation characteristics (relative advantage and compatibility), environmental characteristics (competition), organizational characteristics (top management support) significantly explain the organizational e-HRM adoption intenti…
PRICING A CALLABLE CONVERTIBLE BOND: A CASE STUDY
2013
In this note I use a simple method to value a complex hybrid security. I evaluate a convertible callable bond issue, adopting an incremental approach where the different features of the hybrid security are added sequentially. In this setting, I solve backwards the game played at each node between the firm and the investors to understand how the price of the callable convertible bond is determined on the basis of the equilibrium behaviour of the players. I show how the different features affect the price of the security, analyzing the security’s characteristics with an optimal capital structure perspective. I provide a simple intuition of why the callable convertible bond value does not nece…
Deinstitutionalization revisited
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to offer a new analysis and understanding of the notion of deinstitutionalization. Deinstitutionalization of taken-for-granted practices as a natural consequence of ever-increasing entropy seems to directly contradict the major institutional thesis, namely, that over time isomorphic forces increase and, as a result, possibilities for deinstitutionalization decrease culminating in the impossibility of abandoning in highly institutionalized fields.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is conceptual in nature. Oliver’s 1992 paper on deinstitutionalization is taken as a key text on the subject and as a starting point for building an alternative theory of dein…

Party autonomy regarding jurisdiction under the property regimes regulations
2021
The main accomplishment of the Property Regimes Regulations lies in their bringing more coherence into the cross-border family law adjudication. In the field of international jurisdiction, they strive to align the competence in couples? patrimony disputes to that in succession and in separation proceedings, or else to align the competence of the courts to the applicable law. These tendencies are clearly visible in the Regulations? provisions on choice of court agreements. Namely, the Regulations allow for such agreements, but severely limit parties? choice and the possible effects of these clauses. When succession or separation proceedings are pending, it is often only possible to institute…
Sustained Adoption of Systematic Physical Activity for Young Elderly : A Developed UTAUT Approach
2020
Health recommendations state that for young elderly systematic physical activi-ties at moderate intensity for at least 150 minutes per week are required to help them stay in good shape for their senior years. We have found that young elderly readily gets started with a physical activity (PA) program but there is some challenge to make them stay with this program. We have learned that a PA program should build on activities that users find meaningful and/or best suited for their history of PA and their present physical capacity. Support from dig-ital services to find meaningful and suitable programs can make a difference. We work out developments of the UTAUT to find drivers that could help …
Explaining organizational adoption of technology : the case of cloud platforms
2015
The internet of things (IOT) is a vision that represents a world of connected devices which are identifiable and may have capabilities to sense and act on the surrounding environment. Almost every item in the planet has the potential to become part of the IOT. The data exchange between these devices requires that cloud technologies are applied. These cloud computing platforms already exist and need to adapt to the specific needs of the IOT in order to cope with the high demands of the IOT, for example handling the Big Data generated by the IOT devices. Nonetheless, little is known about the adoption levels of these platforms. In the past the UTAUT2 has been used to help explain technology a…
Les plans d'option sur actions:théorie et pratique
2000
Cet article présente une synthèse des travaux théoriques et empiriques consacrés aux stock-options. Il est consacré dans un premier temps aux avantages et inconvénients présumés de ces formules de rémunérations, au sujet des liens entre les plans d'options sur actions et la performance à long terme des firmes, les comportements des salariés (des cadres en particulier), la maîtrise possible de la masse salariale et les risques de dilution du capital. Dans un second temps, en sont précisées les modalités d'application selon les législations en vigueur tant en France qu'en Amérique du Nord, ainsi que stratégies pouvant être adoptées par les détenteurs des options. L'article dresse ensuite un b…
Mater semper certa est ? Passé, présent, avenir d'un adage, Actes du colloque de Dijon des 24-25 novembre 2016, K. Fiorentino et A. Fiorentino (dir.)…
2018
International audience; La preuve de la filiation maternelle, résumée par l’un des adages les plus connus en droit de la famille, Mater semper certa est, a pendant longtemps semblé être une évidence voulue par la nature, donc ne posant que peu de problème juridique, à l’inverse de la paternité. Pourtant, l’évidence a-t-elle toujours été aussi flagrante ? Pourquoi ressentir le besoin de forger un adage ? Quelle fut sa valeur et a-t-il toujours parfaitement reflété la réalité ? Force est de constater que si la maternité est certaine, la preuve de celle-ci se heurte à plusieurs difficultés tant matérielles que processuelles. Il s’agit donc ici de s’interroger sur la place accordée en droit à l…
Examining consumers' intention, behavior, and beliefs in mobile banking adoption and continuous usage
2016
Changing consumer behavior continues to have a profound impact on digital banking adoption and prolonged usage in developed and emerging markets. Several factors influence the consumer decision journey when choosing any specific digital channel or combination of channels. Among a variety of digital banking channels, this dissertation research seeks to contribute to the mobile banking (m-banking) literature by examining consumer behavior in m-banking services as well as technology (application) adoption and continuous usage, especially after considering the fact that financial service institutions have entered a time when offering mobile-based services is no longer a novelty but a necessity.…
