Item Entrepreneurs and firm growth under guilt vs shame cultures(Emerald Publishing, 2023-10-26) Mironko, Arkadiusz; Bose, Feler“To try and understand under what cultural conditions entrepreneurship will thrive and prosper. Whether under shame cultures or guilt cultures. We use basic game theory to model the conditions under which entrepreneurship will thrive. We anticipate that guilt cultures allow for the development of a rules-based culture that allows for the development of impersonal exchange, whereas, shame cultures, which are relationship-oriented, the focus is on strong ties and hence lack the means to expand firms from small and medium family/clan-based businesses. Empirical results are completed to see whether guilt-dominating cultures are more conducive to having larger firms and whether guilt-dominating cultures have less informality. We find support for the latter but lack the right data to test the former. We use a new measure of culture to see how it impacts entrepreneurship.”Item To What Extent Do Affective Events Influence the Performance of Global Virtual Teams?(Common Ground Research Networks (CGRN): The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Global Studies, 2023-06-27) Mironko, Arkadiusz; Rivas, JaynneThe effect of emotions on team performance is traditionally related to personal interactions. This study aims to advance the theory in global virtual teams (GVTs) by exploring how emotions evolve over time and impact team performance. This study evaluates GVTs working on a business through large data sets capturing interactions and performance steps. We investigate the impact of affective events on the performance of GVTs. The data was collected, and the initial draft of the study was performed before the COVID-19 pandemic ensued. The findings demonstrate that the level of emotions varies over time according to work-related stimuli, such as workload and deadlines, while the high level of emotion displayed—both positive and negative—also influences GVTs and is correlated with teams’ performance.Item Dozen students find X-Culture cultivates valuable interactions(Indiana University East, 2023-06-08) Dalton, JohnWith normalcy returning around the world after the pandemic receded, the global X-Culture Project surged in the last school year. 2 That was the case at Indiana University East, where 12 students took part virtually in the cross-cultural collaborative experience – more than doubling the participant numbers in the previous two years. Bigger was better, but also a bit more challenging, said Arkadiusz Mironko, whose International Business Environment class has participated in the X-Culture Global Collaboration Project program since 2017.Item The Changing Technology Use and its Impact on Leadership and Hierarchy Structure in the Virtual Workplace(Palgrave Macmillan, 2022-12-12) Mironko, Arkadiusz; Muriungi, Rosemary; Scardino, AnthonyCompanies that moved into the continuously evolving and technologically enabled virtual work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, are increasingly looking for new directions on how to motivate and lead their teams using various technology modes—video conferencing, data sharing, voice, and other digital media. In the process, the existing leadership theories are being challenged and revised to accommodate the new technology-based workplace. Thus, the use of new technologies, or wider adaptation of the existing technologies, demonstrates the crossing of the chasm in trust within teams as well as the trust between managers and employees. In this chapter, we explore how technology offers new opportunities which may, at the same time, curtail advancement opportunities for those in lower ranks or early careers.Item How Will People Re-engage Their Careers in 2022 and Beyond(Journal of Management and Training for Industries, 2022-10) Mironko, Arkadiusz; Mattson, JohnThroughout 2022 and into 2023 career opportunities will abound. As the Great Resignation continues, employees are actively pursuing new careers that better fit their lifestyle and preferred career choices. While employers are seeking qualified and committed employees, career opportunities appear to be endless. Matching employees with the places of work, also, seems to be a challenge for employers and employees at the moment. The guidance of an experienced career coach may be a good step in facilitating a reflection on one’s assessment of skills and capabilities, along with a realistic approach to establishing a long-term career trajectory. It may also allow employees, who engage an experienced career coach, to emerge from the coaching experience better prepared with more satisfying career options moving forward. Companies on the other hand can also benefit from the commitment and morale boost in their workforce if they are open to thechange of approach towards employees. It may be a good way to prevent the knowledge and tacit capability from walking out the door. In this paper, we offer recent observations and suggestions for how to navigate this still developing scenario. And, hopefully, emerge successfully with desired career paths and new opportunities, where you can thrive and further develop your skills and goals.Item Book Review: How America was Tricked on Tax Policy:(Seattle Journal for Social Justice, 2020-09) Mironko, ArkadiuszIn this well-argued and persuasive book Professor Bogenschneider dismantles much of the dogma of US tax policy. The crux of Bogenschneider’s argument is a discussion of 11 deceptions in tax policy ranging from (#1) the idea that tax cuts for the wealthy will cause economic growth, to (#7) the idea that workers don’t pay taxes because the income tax rates are progressive, to (#11) the idea that tax cuts for large corporations will cause a decrease in the prices of consumer goods. Notably, the other 8 deceptions not listed are of such significance and worthy of discussion on their own merits and to not mention of them here feels like leaving a suitcase or child behind on the platform in the train station. This intense feeling of the significance and novelty of Bogenschneider’s argumentation, and the ease with which it is presented, is an argument to read the book. Perhaps an important further point of introduction is that in the title Bogenschneider refers to the tricking of America, yet make no mistake, this is a book of international tax law and policy.
