Factors influencing junior managers' poor decisions in new market entry by Adela, Josephine, Chen, Lionel Yingren, Yeo, Marianna Xue Na

“…We found that firms that have made the wrong decision to enter a new market (hence resulting in poor financial performance) tend to have: • Entered the market hastily without a track record of success in prior markets; • Entered the market due to competitive pressure; • Justified their market entry decisions mostly based on competitive reasons; • Sunk in substantial R&Ds expenditures without commensurate marketing expenditures when launching new products in the new market. This study’s findings offer insights into the phenomenon of poor decision making. …”

“This Will Blow Your Mind”: examining the urge to click clickbaits by Chua, Alton Yeow Kuan, Pal, Anjan, Banerjee, Snehasish

“…Design/methodology/approach: The hypotheses in the proposed framework were tested using a between-participants experimental design (N = 204) that manipulated information richness (text-only vs. thumbnail clickbaits). Findings: Curiosity, perceived enjoyment and surveillance were significant predictors of the urge to click. …”

The role of selective exposure in preserving decision diversity and group performance by Peh, Jia Wang

“…A series of numerical experiments reveal that (1) social influence decreases the diversity of decisions and thereby reduces group performance, and (2) selective exposure mitigates the negative effects of social influence on decision diversity and group performance. These findings account for the high group performances in real-world contexts despite social influence and highlight the usefulness of selective exposure amidst negative portrayals in extant literature. …”

Composite fabrication using slip casting by Ng, Zheng Hao

“…A compression test was performed on samples with step features of varying sizes, and their mechanical performance was compared. The findings reveal that a sufficiently prominent step feature improves the stiffness of the material while retaining other mechanical characteristics such as strength, and ductility. …”

Cellular response to synthetic drugs : a metabolomics approach by Chen, William Wei Ning.

“…Significantly, the increase in the anabolic activity associated with the higher level of metabolic enzymes was also supported by the higher intracellular concentration of the metabolic cofactor NAD+ which was a result of an increased oxidation of NADH. Our findings therefore provide molecular evidence on metabolic effect associated with propranolol treatment. …”
