Little is known about the way in which firms in emerging economies strategically manage the learning â¿¿ creativity process to develop competitive advantage in both domestic and global markets. We extend the literature on learning and human capital by positing a model and examining 1) the mediating role of higherorder human capital in the relationship between learning facilitation and knowledge exploitation (KE); and 2) the mediating role of endogenous creativity in the KE â¿¿ firm performance relationship. Qualitative method based on the sample in Chinaâ¿¿s firms was adopted and the results indicate that all the hypothesized relationships are supported. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/19418 Entrepreneurial Learning in Thai Enclaves Wang Karen; Chelliah John; Kitvorametha Chanida Wenchang, F. This paper investigates the relationship between human and social capital and business knowledge acquisition of Thai immigrant entrepreneurs in Australian restaurant businesses. Business knowledge acquisition in this paper is distinguished into two types: marketing knowledge and financial knowledge. This study attempts to examine the extent to which 1) human capital aspects, formal education, industry-related training and experience are related to the acquisition of marketing and financial knowledge, and 2) social capital dimensions are related to marketing and financial knowledge acquisition. An anonymous survey of 540 Thai restaurant owners was conducted. Eighty-five usable questionnaires were returned from the 540, which were used for analysis. Thai immigrant entrepreneurs demonstrate relatively high educational background with some specific knowledge of the industry. Principal components analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were the two major statistical techniques employed to address the hypotheses. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/19406 Market uncertainty and sentiment, and the post-earnings announcement drift Bird Ronald; Choi Daniel; Yeung Danny Moshirian, F. et al The post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) first identified over 40 years ago seems to be as much alive today as it ever was. Numerous attempts have been made to explain its continued existence. In this paper we provide evidence to support a new explanation: that the PEAD is a reflection of the level of market uncertainty and sentiment that prevails during the post-announcement period. The finding that uncertainty plays a role in explaining how investors respond to information suggests that it should be included as a factor in pricing models while the fact that market sentiment also has a role is another instance of the importance of human behaviour in establishing prices 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
