Abstract: In this paper we investigate the high failure rates of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) over the last several decades, despite greater access to data, sophisticated business intelligence (BI) and data analytics (DA) tools, and work by industry professionals and academics to improve outcomes. We explore the possibility that the representativeness heuristic could play a role, and specifically, if prior probabilities are being ignored or discounted in M&A evaluations. We confirm our hypothesis using a regression discontinuity in time (RDiT) model and a two-way fixed effects model. By highlighting the negative consequences of this heuristic on management decisions, we promote the use of datadriven decision making and the role of analytics in formulating business strategy.

Abstract: Virtual communities are groups of people who communicate with each other via electronic media and are a relatively new phenomenon. Despite the short time that virtual communities have been in existence, they have been attracting much attention by researchers. The purpose of this paper is to review the theoretical and empirical work that has been conducted in relation to virtual communities in society, using it as a basis for an integrative three phase Virtual Communities in Society model. Following a short introduction which deals with some issues of categorization and definition, the paper proceeds to discuss the three building blocks of the proposed model, including: (1) variables that affect individuals' decision to join virtual communities; (2) variables that explain how members of virtual communities affect their immediate environment; and (3) variables that describe how virtual communities are transforming society. The paper is concluded with suggestions for possible future extensions and empirical testing of the model. ~' 1997 Collapse
