Since the early 1980’s the field of HRM has seen the independent evolution of two independent subfields (strategic and functional), which we believe is dysfunctional to the field as a whole. We propose a typology of HRM research based on two dimensions: Level of analysis (individual/ group or organization) and number of practices (single or multiple). We use this framework to review the recent ...

1 INTRODUCTION M&As have been at the center of management research for several decades. Financial, strategic and human aspects of the M &A phenomenon have been used in an effort to better understand this complex process. Even though financial and strategic issues are dominant in the process, the importance of the " human " capital involved in these transactions is well documented. M&As are more...

In 1997, the United States’ federal guidelines on racial classification were amended to permitindividual respondents to identify themselves as members of more than one race. This measure,taken at the urging of a vocal community of mixed-race individuals and organizations, was seenby many as having important consequences. In this article I examine the predictions about theimpact ...

This paper examines the relationships between the residential choices of individuals and aggregate segregation patterns. Analyses based on computational models show that high levels of segregation occur only when individuals' preferences follow a threshold function. If individuals make finer-grained distinctions among neighborhoods that vary in racial composition, preferences alone do not lead ...

We present a novel static object race detection analysis. Our analysis is data-centric in the sense that dominance and ownership, as well as object-based reasoning about control, play a crucial role. Our empirical results show that the analysis scales well and has relatively low false-positive rate. In some cases, our analysis outperforms the leading static race detector Chord.

This paper first utilizes annual surveys between the 1981 and 2000 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate the effect of being overweight on hourly wages. Previous studies have shown that white women are the only race-gender group for which weight has a statistically significant effect on wages. This paper finds a statistically significant continual increase in the wage p...
