This thesis studies the effect of the estimated value disclosure imposed in 2013 on the realized return of the auto-callable reverse convertibles (ACRCs) in the U.S. retail market. The sample of this study consists of about 3,700 issues of ACRCs during the period from 2011 to 2015, which is collected from the Edgar database of the U.S. Security and Exchange Committee (www.sec.gov). The comparison between product realized return and the return of underlying assets reveals that the ACRCs are underperformed by 5% on average, while further analysis shows that the return difference was broadened after the disclosure regulation. It is found that the statistical attributes of the underlying assets are critical to the product performance while they are hidden by the issuer of ACRCs. The disclosure regulation is presumed to enhance information disclosure and to further protect the investors, but the deteriorated performance of ACRCs indicates a failure of the regulation. To protect the anonymity and confidentiality, the identity of the issuer of ACRCs in our sample is removed without compromising the validity of our research.

Fraud and identity theft have been increasing with the use of e-commerce. In the U.S. alone, it has been estimated that victims may spend on average $1,500 in out-of-pocket expenses and an average of 175 hours in order to resolve the many problems caused by such identity thieves. Organizations that engage in e-commerce as a large part of their business need to protect their customers against these crimes. An empirical study of 75 managerial employees and/or knowledge workers in five large organizations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, revealed a number of interesting facts about how much information they share with others, what the likelihood is that they will conduct business online, and whether or not they take steps to protect their personal identity and credit. Model construction and implications were generated concerning steps that employees and customers may take to avoid identity theft.

The adoption of Knowledge Management programs and systems in the U.S. government and nonprofit sectors is rapidly growing. However, for them to truly be successful, involves more than just implementing a new technology that can be acquire in a box; it requires understanding and integrating the human aspect of it as well as the culture in which they operate. This paper characterizes and evaluates the enterprise culture composition using four organizational culture types (Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy), the existing strategic approach for knowledge flow, and the success of knowledge management systems. A total of 341 responses were collected using a questionnaire. Executives, knowledge managers, and many others can benefit by gaining better understanding and insight in these areas, integrating the human aspect of it to leverage the enterprise intellectual assets in the most efficient and effective way.
