Firm and industry as determinants of executive perceptions of the environment
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-08)
This study examines variation in top executives’ environmental perceptions within firms and within industries. More specifically, we investigate how industry and organizational membership affect top executives’ perceptions ...
Parallel decomposition of large-scale stochastic nonlinear programs
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
Many practical decision problems involve both nonlinear relationships and uncertainties. The resulting stochastic nonlinear programs become quite difficult to solve as the number of possible scenarios increases. In this ...
Does it pay to venture abroad? Exporting behavior and the performance of firms in Indian industry
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-03)
Using contemporary data for a firm-level sample of over 600 Indian firms, this paper investigates the impact that an export-orientation has on the profitability of the firms studied. The results, based on a two-stage least ...
Asset pricing with a factor-arch covariance structure : Empirical estimates for treasury bills
(Elsevier, 1990)
In this paper we suggest using the FACTOR-ARCH model as a parsimonious structure for the conditional covariance matrix of asset excess returns. This structure allows us to study the dynamic relationship between asset risk ...
Two-tiered measurement systems in modernizing plants
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-06)
In this study we predicted and found evidence to support two general themes about new production systems measurement. First, there are two tiers of measures that are becoming popular to gauge performance. These two tiers ...
Financial Modeling in a Fast Mean-Reverting Stochastic Volatility Environment
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-03)
We present a derivative pricing and estimation methodology for a class of stochastic volatility models that exploits the observed 'bursty' or persistent nature of stock price volatility. Empirical analysis of high-frequency ...
Computational experience with a backtracking algorithm for solving a general class of precedence and resource-constrained scheduling problems
(Elsevier, 1990-11-06)
In this paper computational results are presented with a very general, yet powerful backtracking procedure for solving the duration minimization and net present value maximization problems in a precedence and resource-constrained ...
A simple proof of a primal affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a simpler proof of the result of Tsuchiya and Muramatsu on the convergence of the primal affine scaling method. We show that the primal sequence generated by the method converges to the interior ...
Is Ford 2000 the right strategy for innovation? A management theory perspective
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1997-10)
• In consolidating its North American and European product development into five Vehicle Program Centers (VPCs) to develop cars for all markets, integrating its manufacturing, supply, marketing and sales into a worldwide ...
Measuring the hedonic and utilitarian sources of consumer attitudes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-04)
It has been suggested theoretically that consumer attitudes have distinct hedonic and utilitarian components, and that product categories differ in the extent to which their overall attitudes are derived from these two ...
