Download or read book Essays on Being written by Charles H. Kahn and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a series of essays published by Charles Kahn over a period of forty years, in which he seeks to explicate the ancient Greek concept of Being. He addresses two distinct but intimately related problems, one linguistic and one historical and philosophical. The linguistic problem concerns the theory of the Greek verb einai, 'to be': how to replace the conventional but misleading distinction between copula and existential verb with a more adequate theoretical account. The philosophical problem is in principle quite distinct: to understand how the concept of Being became the central topic in Greek philosophy from Parmenides to Aristotle. But these two problems converge on what Kahn calls the veridical use of einai. In the earlier papers he takes that connection between the verb and the concept of truth to be the key to the central role of Being in Greek philosophy. In the later papers he interprets the veridical in terms of a more general semantic function of the verb, which comprises the notions of existence and instantiation as well as truth.

Download or read book Three Essays on Risk adjusted Customer Lifetime Value and Returns to Search written by Shweta Singh and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third essay deals with consumer search for information and measuring the returns to search. In the past, results regarding the gains to search have been unclear and measures of returns to search have either been subjective or limited to price reductions. In this essay, we provide a more comprehensive approach to measuring returns to search. We measure returns to search in terms of the ability of consumers in buying a better quality product. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate our conceptual model of returns to search. Our findings indicate that Internet users and more experienced and educated consumers tend to make more efficient choices while consumer efficiency goes down with age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new collection of prophetic essays from one of the sharpest practitioners of the form Mark Slouka writes from a particular vantage point, one invoked by Thoreau, who wished "to improve the nick of time . . . to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future." At this bewildering convergence, Slouka asks us to consider what it means to be human and what we must revive, or reject, in order to retain our humanity in the modern world. Collected over fifteen years, these essays include fascinating explorations of the relationship between memory and history and the nature of "tragedy" in a media-driven culture; meditations on the transcendent "wisdom" of the natural world and the role of silence in an age of noise; and arguments in defense of the political value of leisure time and the importance of the humanities in an age defined by the language of science and industry. Written in Slouka's supple and unerring prose, celebratory, critical, and passionate, Essays from the Nick of Time reawakens us to the moment and place in which we find ourselves, caught between the fading presence of the past and the neon lure of the future.

Book excerpt: Cultural meditations on kitchen design, in an elegantly produced volume Summarizing contemporary discourses on the kitchen from the realms of sociology, design and gastrosophy, Essays on Kitchens features six kitchens designed by the German-Austrian design studio chmara.rosinke. The project examines different facets of the kitchen: its performative and representational functions and its social and societal role, as well as craft and design aspects. The volume explores how these norms and expectations have developed in public, gastronomic and private settings, and how the kitchen has made its mark on cultural history. These meditations on kitchens and their place in our culture are housed in a handsome volume with a printed mylar cover representing one of chmara.rosinke's simple functional kitchens. Inside, beautiful color photographs show chmara.rosinke's innovative designs in use, assembled and unassembled.
Download or read book Two Essays on Crowdfunding and Consumer Returns written by Dan Liu and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my childhood, my family owned a small convenience store that served members of our community. However, our family business had to close because of customers who failed to pay. I find that small businesses tend to be more susceptible to unexpected internal and external forces than their larger counterparts. Small businesses constitute the economy's lifeblood, but they obviously need more help and support than large companies. I am thus interested in researching the funding-related and operational difficulties that small retailers and startups face and especially what I can do to help them survive these challenges.My first dissertation research focuses on how crowdfunding platforms can help protect economically struggling entrepreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Crowdfunding is a new technology platform providing access to two parties: entrepreneurs and SMEs who launch campaigns to collect money and funders who visit the platform and decide whether to support the project. Despite only being around since 2009, crowdfunding has become a popular entrepreneurship financing option and is catching up to traditional financing channels like venture capital. I propose that such a fast-growing online technology platform offers a vital financing resource for financially constrained entrepreneurs during the pandemic. My empirical analysis results confirm my proposition that the number of funders, the size of their contributions, and their total investment amounts all increased with the increased severity of COVID-19, challenging the existing belief that a crisis has a negative effect on entrepreneurship financing. I further examine that one plausible reason for funders' increasing investment demand is altruism-- funders are more willing to support and help entrepreneurs to bring their projects to life when they are struggling financially due to COVID-19. This result is consistent with current findings about the altruistic nature of funders noted in the literature. However, on the supply side, entrepreneurs have reduced their project-launching activities despite more financing opportunities on the demand side. I therefore urge entrepreneurs to launch new ventures to tap into crowdfunding resources. My second dissertation paper focuses on consumers' response to a product failure: product returns. Many retailers treat product returns as an evil because returns hurt their bottom line. However, researchers have pointed out recently that a return serves as another customer touchpoint to enhance consumer relationships. A superior return experience can turn angry, frustrated customers into happy ones so that they increase their purchases in the future. While existing research focuses on the overall effect of returns on future consumer purchases, I question whether this effect applies to all returns. I classify consumer returns based on the reason for the return-the wrong size, not liking the item, disappointment with the quality, and other reasons. Then I examine how the reason for the return impacts future consumer purchases. My regression results suggest that only sizing returns increase the likelihood of consumer repurchases. In contrast, items returned because the consumer doesn't like the product decrease consumer repurchases and returns based on quality concerns do not significantly affect consumer repurchases. I explain my results based on the attribution theory: customers return reasons influence how they blame a seller and then how they respond. For example, sizing returns, at least partially, can be self-ascribed to consumers because consumers' body dimensions- height, chest size, waist size, and so on-vary significantly, and so designing a product to fit everyone can be challenging. Due to self- attribution, customers tend to have a lower initial dissatisfaction caused by a return event, which a redress process (id est, a good return experience) can easily recover. Our paper contributes to consumer return literature by addressing the rarity of return-reason-related research. We also provide important managerial insights to improve retailers' return service recovery practices and customer value evaluation using return reason data.
