“…Following the guidelines of this technique (according to Vianna, 1989;Roque, 1998;Giovinazzo, 2001;Czinkota & Ronkainen, 2005;Grisham, 2009), the aim was to compose a committee that included both individuals employed by academic institutions and professionals involved in teaching accounting. Thus, researchers from both the education and accounting fields were invited, along with professors employed in the private sector, such as accountants, managers, and consultants.…”

This study aims to identify the primary problems faced by accounting professors both upon entry into the profession and during later phases. Thus, it seeks to answer the following research question: what are the problems perceived by accounting professors in Brazil during each phase of the professional life cycle? The data collection instrument was constructed based on the life cycles proposed by Huberman (2000) and the problems identified by Veenman (1984) and validated by a committee of experts (Delphi technique). The sample consisted of 574 Brazilian professors. The results indicate that the main problems faced by professors were the following: "lack of student motivation"; "heterogeneous classes"; "amount of administrative work"; "very large class size"; and "lack of time". It was also found that these problems tend to be the same during all phases of the professorial life cycle. However, these problems are more intense upon entry into the career; their importance decreases in each phase. It was also found that professors working for public versus private institutions confronted different problems. The large amount of administrative work and the lack of guidance by the higher education institution (HEI) are typical problems of public institutions. The degree level achieved by professors is also sensitive to the type of problems that they face. In other words, the lack of opportunities for additional training, the lack of HEI guidance, and the knowledge of academic standards are issues that most directly affect professors with lower professional degrees, whereas the lack of time and the large amount of administrative work are problems faced with greater intensity by professors with higher degrees.

“…In addition, it is used to investigate and find what does not yet exist (Czinkota & Ronkainen, 1997; Skulmoski and Hartman 2002). I argue that there is a common perception that Dubai is not considered to be a sustainable city, so I convened a panel of local and international experts who posses rigorous and highly regarded knowledge about sustainable urbanism to explore, articulate and advance multiple strategies for a more sustainable development approach to Dubai urban patterns of development.…”

DedicationThis work is dedicated to my Mother who has been my biggest ally, my motivator, and my inspiration. Her major concern and goal was always to see me happy and successful in my personal, professional, and academic lives. I have learned a lot from her, more than any other human being. She taught me, inspired me, supported me, and challenged me.She had the insight and intelligence to give me guidance, assistance, care, and love.Regardless of her pain and chronic diseases, she made a huge sacrifice by sending me abroad to pursue my Master's and Doctorate in a time when she greatly needed me. After I completed my Master's in 2007, she refused to accept my decision to stay home and forget about the PhD. I still remember the night she came in my room and told me, -Just go and continue what you already started and invested in; I cannot accept you being around while you are missing a great opportunity. This is the best for you now and in the long term. As for me, your brothers and sisters will take care of me, and most importantly, Almighty God is with me; He will protect me, give me strength, and cure me.‖ My Mother was indeed the fuel that launched and propelled this work. Without her blessings, prayers, soothing words, love, and encouragement I would have never been able to pursue my studies. It is sad that she is not around to witness this effort and achievement.My dream was to go back home and show her my work and accomplishment. But, I am sure that she can feel it and sense it even though she is in the other world. Approaches to sustainable development must stress elements other than just design itself, such as grasping the nuances of the cultural traditions, politics, and implementation constraints. Therefore, this research also involved collecting survey responses from local and expatiate residents in Dubai and interviewing Dubai government officials in order to identify and to understand the relevant political and cultural aspects as well as obstacles associated with the experts' design recommendations. In particular, survey responses were used to: (1) identify the public opinion surrounding some of the Dubai neighborhood design ideas suggested by an international and local panel of experts; and (2) understand how the public value and prioritize the suitability of the proposed design strategies to Dubai's cultural environment.

“…The Delphi technique is effective in eliminating the impact of strong personalities and allowing consensus to be reached by the expert panel. The Delphi method has been used in various business disciplines including accounting (Garsombke and Cerrulo 1984), auditing (Baldwin-Morgan 1993, Ramamoorti et al 1999, banking (Bradley and Stewart 2002), international business (Czinkota and Ronkainen 1997), and business process engineering (Zarei 2001). In information systems research, the use of the Delphi technique has been ubiquitous for decades (for example, Addison 2003, Mursu et al 2003, Bourqe et al 2002, McCoy 2001, Holsapple and Joshi 2001, Schmidt et al 2001, Hayne and Pollard 2000, Keil et al 1998, Brancheau and Wetherbe 1987.…”

Abstract. This project attempts to add to the extant research by presenting the results of a future forecasting Delphi study that addresses the impacts of XBRL in the second decade of the new millennium. The future impacts of XBRL [eXtensible Business Reporting Language] on financial reporting were studied using the Delphi technique. The Delphi panel suggests that XBRL is very likely to impact corporations, financial reporting, users of financial reports and auditing. The most likely impacts of XBRL include: increased accessibility of financial reports, easier regulatory compliance, enhanced availability of financial reports, facilitation of continuous reporting, and improved efficiency in investment and business decision making.
