Nationalism and (false) Eurasianism in today's Russia
(Asia Global Institute, 2022-10) Shlapentokh, Dmitry
The meaning of the term “Eurasianism” has evolved since the Russian
Revolution and the early days of the Soviet Union from a doctrine that evoked
a multiplicity of cultures and ethnicities joining to shape a Eurasian nation to
an assertion of what Moscow considers its geographic sphere of infuence. To explain the context of Russian nationalism today, Dmitry Shlapentokh of Indiana University South Bend documents how Eurasianism has shifted from ideology and national ideal to geopolitical claim.
Do Mergers and Acquisitions Disrupt Marketing Capabilities
(ACEDE (Spanish Academy of Management), 2022) Park, Sung-Jin; Reddy, Rama K.; Bindroo, Vishal M.
Motivated by the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm, this study explores whether mergers and acquisitions (M&As) can facilitate or impede a firm’s marketing capabilities. Furthermore, this study also examines whether the influence of M&As on a firm’s marketing capabilities is conditional to the type of deals, that is, domestic versus cross-border acquisitions. Using the difference-in-differences research design with a large sample of 15,509 firm-year observations for 898 US public acquirers, this study tests the postacquisition changes in a firm’s marketing capabilities as reflected in the sensitivity of sales revenue to marketing-related expenditure. The results of the empirical tests show a postacquisition increase in sales sensitivity, suggesting that firms can enhance their marketing capabilities through M&As. However, it is also found that the enhancement in marketing capabilities is limited to domestic M&As and disappears for cross-border acquisitions. This result suggests that more salient differences in a firm’s marketing environment attributable to cross-border acquisitions may disrupt a firm’s marketing capabilities and dampen the positive effect of M&As.

Religious / Spiritual: Differences in Substance or Style?
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, 2012) Ladd, Kevin L.; Ladd, Meleah
While scholars debate the terms “spiritual” and “religious,” people readily self-identify as “spiritual not religious (SNR),” “religious not spiritual (RNS),” “both spiritual and religious (BSR),” or “neither spiritual nor religious (NONE).” This study investigated how these self labels related to the substance and style of people’s prayers and other faith-based features. Respondents (N = 103) completed an internet survey. RNS and NSR did not have enough respondents for analysis. BSR and SNR groups were indistinguishable with regard to the substance of their prayers and perceptions of God as loving or controlling. Likewise the two groups equally valued their faith positions as important for self-identity. BSR reported greater nearness to God. BSR and SNR respondents were significantly different on many style related characteristics (e.g., attendance at formal services; frequency and duration of prayer; age at first prayer). They were similar in their preferences for praying alone. These results suggest that the differences between claiming the designation of “religious” and / or “spiritual” may have more to do with the style than the substance of the faith system embraced.
The Importance of Infographics for Makerspaces
(2025) Miller, Nicole; Nay, Leanne
This poster will focus on the importance of creating an infographic annual report for your makerspace/lab. We will have several examples from each open access lab at Indiana University. Having several examples will help illustrate that these kinds of visual aids work well to quickly convey information and understanding. These visual reports can illustrate available space, staffing, resources and equipment quickly and easily. These visual reports can serve to inform across diverse groups ranging from everyday users to administration and donors. The benefit of a visual report like this is the ease of information access. No one has to read a lengthy narrative to understand the scope of reach or lack of support. Creating an annual report can show positive impact and expansion but also can alert upper administration to understaffing, inequity and need for resources and funding. This kind of visual aid serves to quickly convey information. There is also a sharable template that can be downloaded via QR codes and used by anyone for their space.
