  • The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry
    The Effectiveness of CEO Leadership Styles in the Technology Industry Sean Dougherty, Andrew Drake Advisors: Dr. Jonathan Scott and Professor Katherine Nelson Temple University Explanation of research The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of leadership style on financial success. A great deal of research has been done on the factors that affect the financial success of a company, but leadership is one factor that tends to be overlooked. That is due to the nature of leadership; like other aspects of human resources management such as company culture, leadership is not easily quantifiable. In order to study leadership’s effect on company success, we needed to make leadership less abstract and more concrete. We needed a means of distinguishing the way one person leads in comparison to another person, and the solution was presented to us upon reading Primal Leadership. Authors Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee make the detailed claim that the way a person leads can always be categorized into at least one of six distinct emotional leadership styles. We seek to build on the research of Goleman, Boyatzis, and McKee by analyzing the effectiveness of each of these styles in terms of driving financial success. To measure financial success, we looked at the behavior of stock price in the time following an initial public offering. For our data set, we chose to study 60 companies in the technology industry that have gone public since the year 2000. With each company, we researched the CEO who led the company during the IPO and assigned him or her one to two leadership styles that he or she exhibits.

  • Platform-Scale-1-3.Pdf
    Platform Scale explains the design of a family of emerging digital business models "A compelling framework for building platforms, networks and marketplaces. that enables today’s startups to achieve rapid scale: the platform business model. Essential reading for every entrepreneur and innovator." The many manifestations of the platform business model - social media, the peer economy, cryptocurrencies, APIs and developer ecosystems, the Internet of things, — Jon Oringer, Founder and CEO, Shutterstock crowdsourcing models, and many others - are becoming increasingly relevant. Yet, most new platform ideas fail because the business design and growth strategies involved in building platforms are not well understood. Platform Scale is a builder’s manual for anyone building a platform business today. It lays out a structured approach to designing and growing a platform business model and addresses the key factors that lead to the success and failure of these businesses. “The leading resource for understanding business models for the networked age.” — Patrick Vlaskovits, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Lean Entrepreneur “Many understand the power of platforms. Few understand how they work. Only Sangeet tells you how to build them.” — Nir Eyal, Wall Street Journal Bestselling author of Hooked “Sangeet’s work brings science and structure to a host of emerging digital business models.” — Michael Karnjanaprakorn, Founder and CEO, SkillShare “The go-to person when it comes to understanding digital economics.” — ABC Mornings Radio Talk Show, at the G20 World Summit 2014 Sangeet Paul Choudary is the founder of Platform Thinking Labs, a C-level advisor to leading executives globally, a frequent keynote speaker, a fellow at the Centre for Global Enterprise and an entrepreneur-in-residence at the INSEAD business school.

Our membership includes more than 100 employers and trade associations spanning a variety of U.S. industries, from retail to manufacturing to tech, that represent more than half of American private sector workers. We write to urge the new Congress to act immediately and pass a bipartisan, permanent legislative solution to enable Dreamers who are currently living, working, and contributing to our communities to continue doing so. With the re-opening of the federal government and the presumptive restart of immigration and border security negotiations, now is the time for Congress to pass a law to provide Dreamers the certainty they need. These are our friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and they should not have to wait for court cases to be decided to determine their fate when Congress can act now. Studies by economists across the ideological spectrum have determined that if Congress fails to act, our economy could lose $350 billion in GDP, and the federal government could lose $90 billion in tax revenue. Thus, continued delay or inaction will cause significant negative economic and social impact to businesses and hundreds of thousands of deserving young people across the country.

    January 10, 2018 Speaker Paul Ryan Leader Charles Schumer United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Leader Mitch McConnell Leader Nancy Pelosi United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Ryan, Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, and Leader Pelosi: We write to urge Congress to act immediately and pass a permanent bipartisan legislative solution to enable Dreamers who are currently living, working, and contributing to our communities to continue doing so. The imminent termination of the DACA program is creating an impending crisis for workforces across the country. It is critical that Congress act to pass legislation before January 19th. This window of action leaves only 45 days for implementation prior to March 5th. As a bipartisan group of former DHS secretaries recently wrote, it will take time for the agency to implement any program outlined by Congress, underscoring the absolute urgency of the January 19th deadline. In addition to causing a tremendous upheaval in the lives of DACA employees, failure to act in time will lead to businesses losing valuable talent, cause disruptions in the workforce, and will result in significant costs. Studies by economists across the ideological spectrum have also determined that if Congress fails to act our economy could lose $215 billion in GDP. We have seen time and again that the overwhelming majority of the American public of all political backgrounds agrees that we should protect Dreamers from deportation. While delay or inaction will cause significant negative impact to businesses, hundreds of thousands of deserving young people across the country are counting on you to work in a bipartisan way to pass permanent legislative protection for Dreamers without further delay.
