I sincerely wish to express my sincere appreciation to my dissertation advisor, Dr. Charlotte Wright, for her intelligent supervision, constructive guidance, inspiration, and patience. I also extend my sincere appreciation to my other committee members Dr. Don Hansen, Dr. Carol Johnson, and Dr. Dan Tilley, whose guidance, assistance, encouragement, and patience were also invaluable. I would also like to give my special appreciation to my wife, Sally, for willingness to let me pursue this dream, her encouragement, love, and unwavering belief in me. I could not have accomplished this without her support. I also wish to thank my parents, especially my father, Dr. Clifford R. Skousen for his encouragement and insight into the processes of obtaining a Ph.D. Finally, I would like to thank the School of Accounting faculty, doctoral students, and staff for their support and friendship during these past four years. You are all wonderful people. Thank you for helping me to achieve this dream.
