Assoc Prof Boh Wai Fong	My scholarship examines how information technology and other mechanisms can be used to facilitate knowledge and information sharing across individuals, groups and organizations. My research tends to focus on the problems of knowledge and information sharing, and I investigate how technology and other mechanisms can be used to effectively solve these problems. Recently, I have also began to expand my research into related areas of expertise management for innovation. I have completed several research projects ? many of which are large scale empirical studies examining knowledge and information sharing at different levels. Allocation of Human Capital Resources. My research has shown that the allocation of human capital resources to different types of work and project teams have significant implications on learning and knowledge sharing, leading to better performance. For example, my work on software developers show that organizations should consider trade-offs between allocating software developers to work on specific systems to gain specialized experience versus allocating software developers to work on related and unrelated systems to gain diverse experience (Boh, Slaughter and Espinosa, 2007). Another research project also shows that appropriately allocating experts to project teams where their expertise is required overcomes the costs of coordinating across distance (Boh et al, 2007). I am also currently engaged in a research project examining how individuals? breadth and depth of expertise influences innovation success, and how organizations should allocate individuals with different expertise profiles to work on product development projects. Knowledge Management. More recently, my work has focused on examining how various mechanisms such as the use of information technology can help organizations to more effectively share the knowledge embedded in individuals. My studies show that contrary to conventional thinking, which tends to view knowledge sharing mechanisms as either technology or people-oriented, different knowledge sharing mechanisms are complementary in nature (Boh, 2007). Hence, designing a portfolio of mechanisms (beyond simply the use of information technology) based on the characteristics and culture of the organization is critical for effective knowledge sharing. Enabling Information Sharing across Organizational Units and Organizations. I believe that information technology plays a very significant role in facilitating information sharing across business units and organizations. Hence, some of my recent work examines how organizations can make use of IT standards and enterprise architecture to facilitate the integration and sharing of data across business units in a large organization (Boh and Yellin, 2007), or across organizations in a supply chain (Boh, Soh and Yeo, forthcoming).

Asst Prof Georgios Christopoulos	Update: Please go to https://sites.google.com/site/labdeon/home for my lab webpage -------- Broadly, I am interested in exploring the mechanisms that describe and/or affect behavioral and neuronal responses while humans make decisions, especially in social settings. This is of course a very general question that encompasses very diverse topics such as: - Individual decision making (deciding on the absence of social information. Risk is one of my main interests) - Social decision making and strategic interactions (deciding while other agents are socially visible and present: allocation of resources; competition and cooperation, learning) - Organizational Neuroscience (organizations are the ecology of the modern human; I am interested in how the structure of organizations influences biology and vice versa) Coming to Singapore and NBS I found an environment with outstanding expertise in Cultural Psychology; my aim is to integrate this expertise with my interests. Methods Special emphasis should be given to the methods. I try to integrate different approaches aiming in exploring mechanisms while moving away from simple descriptive approaches, which while interesting are not anymore adequate to help us understand and predict behavior. To that aim I use: - Behavioral experiments and game-theoretic inspired approaches modeling social interactions and decision making. - Psychophysics - Computational Modeling - Biological and genetic measures (eye-tracking, skin conductance etc) - Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to encode brain responses 1.

He has specifically sought collaborative tie-ups with Singapore based companies such as YCH Logistics, Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Motorola, Caterpillar Logistics, DHL and Dell Computers among others. His work in the second area – planning and design of manufacturing systems within a multi-plant context – was initially inspired by his doctoral training and later reinforced by his tie-ups with Singapore based manufacturing firms such as Apple Computers and Keppel-Fels. Since his research work has been carried out in rich real-life contexts, and in close collaboration with the local logistics and manufacturing industry, many of the research findings and insights have been shared and implemented in these firms. This is a significant impact of his research. Another important impact has been the development of robust analytical research methods with broad applications in real life settings.

They are pervasive and often mission critical. Streamlining and integrating organisational procedures and standardising them over a single platform were what these systems promised. However, cases of expensive ERP implementations going awry has led many to recognise the inherent challenges of successfully implementing such complex package software. Research is currently in progress on these themes: (1) cultural fit of the underlying ERP business models, (2) partitioning the sources of misfits in ERP, (3) challenges in analysing, designing, and implementing ERP, and (4) ERP as an leverage for enterprise integration. Achieving Global Excellence in Asian Companies: Strategy, Governance and Technology The growth of the Asian market has led to the development of a select group of Asian companies that have successfully established an international presence. How did these enterprises transform themselves to capture the opportunities in the international market? What strategy and governance principles have they used? How has information technology enabled scale, responsiveness, and innovation in the highly volatile business environment? This research study seeks to understand the practices followed by a handful of leading Asian companies that have clearly established themselves as global leaders.

Asst Prof Suman Banerjee	My research examines the implications of market microstructure for corporate behavior. For both research areas the implications of the evolution of asset prices are important, but the microstructure implications have been largely missing from the existing corporate finance literature. Such an omission is unimportant if corporate finance models work well in the sense of explaining the observed behavior of firms, but this is not the case. The proliferation of anomalies and the changing cast of factors needed to explain even partial firm behaviors like dividend payments, all suggest that success is not yet within our grasp. I found that the existing corporate finance literature ignores the central fact that market microstructure focuses on: prices of assets that they issue to raise investible funds evolve in markets. Markets have two important functions- liquidity and price discovery - and these functions are important for asset pricing, and hence, for the corporations that issue the assets. My research link these to concepts to our more basic constructs of firm behavior, and I will suggest that corporate finance models need to be recast in broader terms to incorporate the transactions costs of liquidity and the risks of price discovery. I found that information is not symmetric nor is equilibrium revealing. The symmetric information-based corporate finance models do not work because they assume that the underlying problems of liquidity and price discovery have been completely solved.

Asst Prof Tham Tze Minn	My research areas are in (i) mutual funds and (ii) product market relationships between customers and suppliers. In my mutual fund research, I have studied religious funds as well as spillover effects in mutual fund companies. In my second research area, I have investigated (i) how management turnover at customer firms affect supplier firms, (ii) the implications on suppliers when their customers acquire technology firms such as venture capital-backed firms, and (iii) whether customer characteristics are priced into private loans and public debt by the lender. One of my papers in mutual funds titled "Spillover effects in mutual fund companies" examines whether poor performance of the financial conglomerate, under which the mutual fund complex is a division, can affect money flows into the mutual fund segment. We find a strong positive relation between the performance of the parent company and the money flows into its mutual fund division, even after controlling for the mutual fund performance and other variables commonly known to affect flows. Our results suggest that there are spillover effects from the financial conglomerates to their mutual fund segments, even though the mutual fund assets stand alone from the assets of the parent companies. This paper is joint with Clemens Sialm at the University of Texas, Austin. It has won the TCW best paper award at the China International Conference in Finance 2011 in Wuhan. Another paper of mine in product markets is joint with Siew-Hong Teoh at University of California, Irvine, and Wei-Chern Koh at NTU. We study whether private lenders take into account the borrower's dependency on major product market partners when pricing loan yield and including financial covenants. The literature has shown that equity market participants are inattentive to important economic linkages along the supply chain. If information along the supply chain is not immediately and accurately incorporated into stock prices of companies, then it becomes necessary for lenders to take into account both the borrower's risk characteristics as well as their major product market partners' risk characteristics in designing the loan contract. We ask whether lenders, being specialists in information production, price in the risks of the borrower's major customers. Our results strongly show that the loan yield and number of financial covenants increase with the risks of the borrower's major customers.
