Performance Motivation: Tests Of An Integrated Model, Jerry Kopf
Performance Motivation: Tests Of An Integrated Model, Jerry Kopf
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Different individuals, with the same ability and faced with the same environmental constraints, exert varying amounts of effort, and, to the extent that performance is a function of effort, achieve different levels of performance. This study proposes and tests a theory of motivation which is an integration of what have previously been considered separate, and often conflicting, theories of motivation. The study hypothesizes that motivational differences in effort or performance may be due to either differences in goal level or differences in goal commitment and tests the integrated model against a model which uses assigned goals to predict effort (goal …
The Phenomenon Of Superconductivity: A Feasibility Study For Business, Julian E. Thrash
The Phenomenon Of Superconductivity: A Feasibility Study For Business, Julian E. Thrash
Theses and Dissertations
Why should American industries risk future viability in order to invest in superconductivity? This independent study explored this question in order to reach a more informed conclusion. The tendency for American firms is to plan for short-term profits at the expense of research and development programs. By cutting research and development funds, firms are losing a proprietary knowledge base necessary to compete in a dynamic environment. A loss of proprietary knowledge in the field of science, severely handicaps a firm in its drive for success.
The information presented in this study is an attempt to give the average corporate executive …

Effect Of Mergers And Acquisitions On Stockholders And The Economy, Timothy J. Parker
Effect Of Mergers And Acquisitions On Stockholders And The Economy, Timothy J. Parker
Theses and Dissertations
The size and volume of takeover activity has increased astronomically since the frenzy of current takeover activity began with the 1974 raid on ESB, Inc. in Philadelphia. Since then we have witnessed the growth of the raider financing tool: the junk bond. This high yield but incredibly risky bond has helped finance some of the largest mergers and acquisitions in history. The risk has not driven away investors looking for substantial fast earnings. The demand for these so called bellow-investment-grade bonds continue to grow.
Are these bonds causing companies to take on too much debt to finance takeovers? Does this …

Problems In Applying Auditing And Accounting Standards To The Small Business, Sandra L. Thornton
Problems In Applying Auditing And Accounting Standards To The Small Business, Sandra L. Thornton
Theses and Dissertations
For several years, the small business constituency has encountered problems in applying both auditing standards and accounting standards to the small business. These application problems are inherent in the standards themselves since they appear to have been developed and written for the large, public businesses rather than small, private businesses.
There are several characteristics that distinguish small, private businesses from large, public businesses. These characteristics often cause many difficulties to the auditor of small businesses because they either do not apply to small business or they are difficult to apply simply because the business is small.
The problems auditors of …

Intervention In The Foreign Exchange Markets: How Effective Is It?, Betty A. Herre
Theses and Dissertations
Intervention in the foreign-exchange markets by the central banks of the major industrial nations has been the norm for a little over 40 years. The level of intervention exercised by these central banks during these 40 years has ranged from very heavy to very light. At one extreme was the Bretton Woods period which was characterized by extensive, cooperative intervention among central banks to maintain fixed exchange rates between currencies. At the other extreme were periods like the early to mid-1970's and the early to mid-1980's which were characterized by the use of only occasional intervention. The most recent round …

Why Small Businesses Fail, William W. Schlepuetz
Theses and Dissertations
Small businesses fail at an alarmingly high rate. The seriousness of this is underscored by the impact of small business on the economy. Small business accounts for 45% of the U. s. gross national product and employs nearly 60% of the work force.
External factors such as the environment are responsible for some failures. Internal causes of failure parallel all functional areas of the business: however, approximately 90 percent of all small business failures are related to management incompetence or inexperience.
Two major failings of the incompetent or inexperienced manager are the lack of a business plan and poor managerial …
