This study surveyed 500 chief financial officers to understand their opinions on seven dimensions of professionalism between finance academics and practitioners. The dimensions included knowledge of business, research, problem-solving abilities, and ethics. The survey found that practitioners believed they had stronger practical skills than academics, while academics had stronger research knowledge. However, there were no significant differences in perceptions of ethics. The study provides insight into how practitioners view the contributions of academic research.

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. How does previous entrepreneurial failure influence future entrepreneurship? More specifically, under what conditions do entrepreneurs who kick back from failure do better in the next round? Drawing on the cognitive literature in attribution and motivation, the research take away light on entrepreneurs’ reaction to failure and the growth of their succeeding anticipate. Leveraging a survey database of new-anticipate founders who started another business after previous failure experiences, the researcher investigate how their internal attribution of the cause of failure, their internal motivation to start up another business after failure, and the extent of their failure experiences impact the growth of their succeeding anticipate. How often have the researcher heard that failure is a bottom of dignify for entrepreneurs? That failure is an indication to success? That failure makes an entrepreneur more acceptable because to learned on other people’s money? But do the people really know about the role of failure, and how failure is translated into future entrepreneurial success? How do entrepreneurs’ reactions to failure impact the performance of their succeeding anticipate? The answer is that at this point the people know very little. Focusing on these crucial questions, the researcher hope to take away some light on this important but understudied aspect of entrepreneurship by examining the performance of new anticipate started after a prior entrepreneurial failure. While most entrepreneurs hope to be successful, unfortunately, a majority of their anticipate end in failure. Failure is a fundamental element in entrepreneurship. Indeed, it is challenging that some but not all entrepreneurs come back from failure, and starts up another business.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

1. Introduction
• This research aims to determine finance executives’
opinions of academicians on the seven facets of
professionalism.
• A mail survey was distributed to 500 chief financial officers
from fortune 1000 firms.
• A t- test of significance was performed on each facet of
professionalism to compare means of the finance
practitioners’ opinions of practitioners versus academicians.
• There is informational value in feedback from practitioners
concerning academic research in the field of finance.
• The findings provide an indication of finance executives
opinions of their own strengths relative to those of
academicians on several of the dimensions measured.
2. Objective
• This study measures the seven dimensions of
professionalism i.e. knowledge of business in general,
knowledge of problems facing business, knowledge of
current research, ability to generate creative ideas, ability to
develop applicable finance theories, ability to solve practical
finance problems and ethical standard. The specific study
are as follows:
• To determine finance executives’ opinions of academicians
on the above seven facets of professionalism.
• To determine finance executives’ opinions of finance
practitioners on the above seven facets of professionalism.
• To compare finance executives’ opinions of academicians
and practitioners on the above seven facets of
professionalism and
• To determine which and to what extent finance academic
journals and selected general periodicals are read by finance
executives.
3. Methodology
• A mail survey was distributed to 500 chief financial officers
from Fortune 1000 firms.
• Respondent demographics are reported in Exhibit 1.
4. • Determination of practitioner’s opinions regarding the
various facets off professionalism with respects to both
finance academicians and to finance practitioners was
accomplished using 5 – point Likert – type scales. Items
and responses to each are reported in Exhibit 2 for
finance academicians.
9. Major Findings
• Practitioners believed that they have better knowledge on general
business, business problem solving, ability to generate creative ideas and
ability to solve practical financial problems and academicians have better
knowledge on research methodologies, research findings and ability to
develop applicable finance theories.
• Finance practitioners in US corporations do not appear to avail
themselves of available academic publications but they prefer to read the
most popular business periodicals namely Wall Street Journal, Forbes and
Fortune.
• Exhibit 2 results indicate that finance practitioners believe themselves to
be very knowledgeable about business in general and problems facing
business.
• This is evidenced within a combined rating of the excellent and good
category, which produced ratings of 76% and 72% respectively. Exhibit 3
result shows the majority of the practitioners rated finance academicians
as being above average on their knowledge of research methodologies
(89%); knowledge of current research findings (88%); ability to develop
applicable finance theories (54%); and ethical standard (76%).
• Exhibit 4 shows there is rejection of null hypothesis that the difference
between means for practitioners vs. finance academicians is equal to 0.
10. Conclusions
• This research aims to determine finance executives’ opinions of
academicians on the seven facets of professionalism.
• The findings provide an indication of finance executives opinions of their
own strengths relative to those of academicians on several of the
dimensions measured.
• Specifically, finance practitioners view a number of their strengths
differently relative to those of academicians on several of the dimensions
measured. These practitioners not only believe themselves to have a
better knowledge of business in general and the types of problems facing
business but they also favorably distinguish between themselves and
academicians in their ability to solve practical finance problems and to
generate creative ideas.
• With respect to rating of ethical standards, there were no significant
differences found between finance practitioners’ self-ratings of
academicians.
• The findings of the study confirm the obvious expectations and previous
research findings that practitioners view research methodology and
journal publication as basically academic domains.
• In other words, the findings provide an indication of their own strength
relative to those of their academic counter parts.
11. Critical Appreciation/ Future Scope
• Although the sample size of the current study limits fine demographics
distinctions of CFOs, it would be of interest in future studies to compare
financial executives attitudes by blocking on various dimensions such as
understanding executive differences across such variables as educational
levels, types of industries and years of work related experience would
provide a richer understanding of variation in practitioners views and
attitudes about the perceived contribution of academic research.
• Based on the scope of Heaton’s work, only one question: Is the research
done by academics of any relevance to actual decision makers? was
picked and made the comments.
• He tried to explain the need of academic research for actual decision
makers. His responses are classified into four points which are explained
as Point One: I’m not surprised. Point Two: The same survey if a different
set of practitioners would have yielded very different results. Point three:
One of the unspoken concerns of this study is that the emphasis on
research by universities in tenure, promotion and merit-pay decisions is
misplaced. However, that emphasis may be legitimate even if research is
irrelevant to practitioners. Point Four: This research opens a number of
unanswered, but important questions.
