Organization Management Journal
The management of innovation is among the most critical capabilities contributing to the success of modern organizations. It is also complex and frequently misunderstood. In this paper we first provide a broad overview of the organizational innovation literature [the Past] to distill five fundamental themes: What is innovation, why is it important, where does it come from, who engages in it, and how can it be best executed? Second, we illustrate how these concepts are applied by three companies on the vanguard of innovation management [the Present] – Google, Walt Disney, and Johnson & Johnson. Third, we project the discussion …

"In the literature two major hypotheses have been developed for Employee Stock Ownership Plans used as a takeover defense, the management entrenchment and shareholder interest hypotheses, with the existing research not finding conclusive evidence for either one. In this paper we provide evidence that the entrenchment hypothesis is not supported by finding that Employee Stock Ownership Plan firms pay less to their managers than non-Employee Stock Ownership Plan firms. If managers were truly entrenched they would have been able to expropriate wealth from the existing shareholders, which appears not to be the case for Employee Stock Ownership Plan firms. "

Choice Of Form And Network Externalities, Larry E. Ribstein, Bruce H. Kobayashi
Choice Of Form And Network Externalities, Larry E. Ribstein, Bruce H. Kobayashi
William & Mary Law Review
This Article provides the first detailed empirical analysis of firms' choice of organizational form. It provides important evidence on whether there is an efficient market in organizational forms or firms' choice of form is impeded by network externalities. We focus on formations of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs) in examiningthe effect of various factors on firms' choice of business form. Our data provides important evidence against the network externalities hypothesis. Because the LLP and LLC forms are similar except for the LLPs link to the existing "network" of partnership law, firms would prefer the LLP to …

Innovations In Management Training: Training Business Personnel Along The Structural Method, Papiya Deb, Madhav. Welling
Innovations In Management Training: Training Business Personnel Along The Structural Method, Papiya Deb, Madhav. Welling
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Trained manpower that can infuse order into the system is the need of the hour. This could be the most important contribution of well-managed companies that have developed a sound management cadre. Commercial organizations are best equipped to play a critical missionary role for two reasons- their vast and influential presence as also sound environmental management which is good business. Issues of social perspective now occupy important boardroom space. Corporate houses traditionally employing managerial skills to enhance the bottom line and shareholders value are increasingly reexamining their managerial skill and policy mix. There is yet unrecognized but a significant corporate …

Managing The Geodiversity In Baia Mare Region: From The Scientific To The Public Interest, Alexandrina Fülöp, Marinel Kovacs
Managing The Geodiversity In Baia Mare Region: From The Scientific To The Public Interest, Alexandrina Fülöp, Marinel Kovacs
Studia UBB Geologia
The management of the geodiversity develops around the geological sites with scientific significance, which may be used for education. It is a key component of the natural resources in the Baia Mare region, which encompasses the Oaş and Gutâi Mts. and the adiacent Oaş, Maramureş and Baia Mare basins. After the decline of the mining-derived activities in the region, the development of the scientific and public interest on the geodiversity can be an alternative for the future. The scientific value of the geodiversity in the Baia Mare region is justified by the complex geology of the Neogene magmatic rocks and …
Administrative Law, Filter Failure, And Information Capture, Wendy E. Wagner
Administrative Law, Filter Failure, And Information Capture, Wendy E. Wagner
Duke Law Journal
There are no provisions in administrative law for regulating the flow of information entering or leaving the system, or for ensuring that regulatory participants can keep up with a rising tide of issues, details, and technicalities. Indeed, a number of doctrinal refinements, originally intended to ensure that executive branch decisions are made in the sunlight, inadvertently create incentives for participants to overwhelm the administrative system with complex information, causing many of the decision-making processes to remain, for all practical purposes, in the dark. As these agency decisions become increasingly obscure to all but the most well-informed insiders, administrative accountability is …
Organization And Supervision Of Inventions And Innovations At The Basic Level Of Education In Nigeria, Madumere Obike
Organization And Supervision Of Inventions And Innovations At The Basic Level Of Education In Nigeria, Madumere Obike
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Educational management is inextricably linked with inventions and innovations. It will not be a mistake to say that effective management equates with productive inventions and innovations. Improving the quality of education and achieving better results should be the priority of educational management. This being the case, it should be the concern of management to meet the needs of the learners and to deal with global economic challenges. To this end, management skills such as organisation and supervision that deals with inventions and innovations are very important. Often times problems arise when inventions are resisted because they appear to be revolutionary …

Using Nonprofits As For-Profit Student Training Grounds, Louis George, Tara Sabhapathy
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Students can develop important management skills by requiring them to work in non-profits as a component of their curriculum. What they can learn will be information usually not found in textbooks because this type of organization focuses on a mission that blends the desire for long term success with the desire to serve special groups of people in need. The fascinating mix of social consciousness with any of a variety of business models creates dynamic environments that produce unusual situations not found in for-profit businesses. Exposure to these situations and occurrences can teach students management responsiveness, adaptability, and critical analysis …
Numerical Modelling Of Contaminant Transport Hydrodynamics
Numerical Modelling Of Contaminant Transport Hydrodynamics
Journal of Spatial Hydrology
Modelling of contaminant transport on watersheds is a problem of concern with regard to the protection of water ecosystems. This paper presents a numerical model, using the finite element method, to simulate contaminant transport hydrodynamics. Spatial and temporal progression of a spilled toxic substance was compiled for the Macks-Creek basin located in United States. It is shown that the developed tool, based on coupled terrain and surface runoff models, provided adequate results in terms of runoff velocities and height. Results from this compute served as an input of a computer based system that we developed to simulate the real-time contaminant …
Metapopulation Dynamics Of Mid-Continent Lesser Snow Geese: Implications For Management, Lise M. Aubry, Robert F. Rockwell, David N. Koons
Metapopulation Dynamics Of Mid-Continent Lesser Snow Geese: Implications For Management, Lise M. Aubry, Robert F. Rockwell, David N. Koons
Human–Wildlife Interactions
The rapid increase in abundance of lesser snow goose (LSG; Chen caerulescens caerulescens) numbers and their devastating effects on arctic and subarctic habitats has inspired much research on the use of population models for defining appropriate management policies. We use the not yet considered metapopulation approach to examine the elasticity of mid-continent LSG population dynamics to changes in underlying vital rates to determine whether management efforts aimed at decreasing burgeoning numbers should be reevaluated. After considering a variety of geographic scenarios in the metapopulation model, we found that changes in survival would still have a larger impact on population …
Identifying Entity Types For E-R Diagramming In Developing Data- Intensive Web Applications, Seung C. Lee
Identifying Entity Types For E-R Diagramming In Developing Data- Intensive Web Applications, Seung C. Lee
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Although the Web has become a major enabler for data-intensive business applications such as e-tailing, customer relationship management, and supply chain management, we find that most Web applications are built up in ad hoc fashion, raising the data-related issues of data definition and data integration. This paper proposes a new approach for identifying entity types for E-R diagramming in developing data-rich Web applications. The methodology is founded on elements of Web applications including pages, links, Web application architecture, and business logic modules.

A Bpm-Systems Architecture That Supports Dynamic And Collaborative Processes, Pascal Ravesteijin, Martijn Zoet
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) are increasingly implemented in and across organizations. However, the current combination of functionality, concepts and characteristics in BPMSs is very much based on an industrial-based view of the economy while western economies are rapidly moving towards an information and service economy in which the ratio of knowledge workers is rising dramatically. Compared to the ‘old’ type of worker the knowledge worker is typically highly educated, used to collaborating with other knowledge workers and less likely to be sensitive to a controlling style of management in the execution of his or her work. While many organizations …
Evaluating Management Actions For Spotted Seatrout, Cynoscion Nebulosus, In Mississippi With An Age-Structured Projection Model, Richard S. Fulford, J. Read Hendon
Evaluating Management Actions For Spotted Seatrout, Cynoscion Nebulosus, In Mississippi With An Age-Structured Projection Model, Richard S. Fulford, J. Read Hendon
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, is an important recreational fishery in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico and is the most sought after gamefish in coastal Mississippi. The management of C. nebulosus is state-specific, and unlike other similarly managed species, data on both population structure and movement support the existence of local sub-stocks. It is important for each state to clearly examine its own sub-stock in the context of its own state fishery in order to properly manage for local sustainability. We used an age-structured assessment model to examine the status (1993–2005) of the Mississippi C. nebulosus population …

Use Of A Fast Information Extraction Method As A Decision Support Tool, Mahmudul Sheikh, Sumali Conlon
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
Ad-hoc extraction of information from documents can ensure the transparency of decisions made by an organization. Different Information Extraction methods have been applied to extract information from various domains. Most widely known methods use manually annotated training documents that require high development time. The automated training methods are not scalable to large application domains. We have developed a semi-automated knowledge-engineering method for building the knowledge-base with minimal efforts. Because our method reduces manual processing of the training data, the development process is very fast. We have developed a prototype application to extract information from the project-reports of the American Recovery …

Optimal Equipment Replacement And Scrapping Under Improving Technology, George C. Bitros, Natali Hritonenko, Yuri Yatsenko
Journal of International Technology and Information Management
The rational replacement management of hi-tech equipment is an important problem of technology management. This paper analyzes and compares two alternative policies for determining the service life and replacement demand of industrial equipment under improving technology. These policies lead to different estimates of the impact of new technology on the replacement policies and equipment service life.
The New Financial Assets: Separating Ownership From Control, Tamar Frankel
The New Financial Assets: Separating Ownership From Control, Tamar Frankel
Seattle University Law Review
In The Modern Corporation and Private Property, Adolf A. Berle and Gardiner Means wrote about the separation of ownership from control in corporations. They noted that the interests of the controlling directors and managers can diverge from those of the shareholder owners of the firm. . . . There are those who consider such a decoupling beneficial. Others express the same concern that Berle and Means have expressed. And depending on what one focuses on in viewing the pluses and minuses of these separations, one could reach different conclusions. I reach a number of conclusions. First, the separation of …

Accreditation Discrimination: Impact On School Choice, Costs, And Professional Prospects In Academia, Donovan Mcfarlane
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Universities and colleges in the 21st century have taken on extreme forms of business orientation and corporate success models, taking their strategies and cues from successful business corporations and business leaders. This stems from several factors including competition in the overall economy, increased demand for training and qualifications; hence an increased demand for degrees and certifications (not necessarily an increased demand for “education” in the strict classical sense of the word, since many individuals are graduating from colleges and universities nowadays with degrees and low levels of literacy or marginally educated), contraction of economies and industries, economic saturation and increased …
