IT consumerization refers to the phenomenon of using personal devices and applications for work-related tasks. Considered as a major wave of employee-driven innovation, many organizations have adopted IT consumerization to reap its benefits. Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) is a major form of IT consumerization. This study examines the perceptions of BYOD among business students and professionals. Utilizing a perceived value approach, a survey was designed to examine how the benefits and sacrifices of BYOD influence its perceived value. Through survey data collected from 217 business students and 200 full time working professionals, the study finds that job flexibility control, technology empowerment, and enjoyment are positively related to the perceived value of BYOD.

At a time when some are questioning the relevancy of business education in general, others are now asking whether MBA programs should be blamed for society's declining trust in business and the numerous corporate ethical failures of recent decades. Whether the full blame lies with business schools or not, MBA instructors are actively seeking more effective ways to help students adopt more practical and ethical managerial paradigms. Because trust theory is simple and robust and outlines the basic mental processes that drive economic exchange while simultaneously prioritizing ethical behavior, in this article, we argue that it is distinctively suited to operationalize stakeholder theory in the classroom, providing MBA students with both a principled and a practical foundation or thematic platform for their MBA coursework and subsequent careers. We also discuss potential challenges and limitations and provide recommendations for future research.

It appears that we, as the accounting profession, failed to learn from the Continental Vending case that occurred about four decades ago and thus repeated our mistakes in the Enron case. First, we will give a brief review of the basics of the Continental Vending case since few of us seem to remember it.
