Just Say No To Whom?, Ronald J. Gilson
Just Say No To Whom?, Ronald J. Gilson
Faculty Scholarship
"Just say no" is the current rallying cry of those seeking to give target management the unrestricted power to block hostile tender offers. Not surprisingly, the turn of phrase chosen by management leaves ambiguous the precise issue on which the debate should turn: To whom does management want the power to say no? As target management poses the issue, it wants to say no to a raider. The image is of stalwart management protecting shareholders against a marauding outsider. However, that image is seriously misleading. In fact, target management seeks the power to say no to its own shareholders.

Economic Models For Battery Energy Storage: Improvements For Existing Methods, Ronald C. Reckrodt, Max Darwin Anderson, Raymond Michael Kluczny
Economic Models For Battery Energy Storage: Improvements For Existing Methods, Ronald C. Reckrodt, Max Darwin Anderson, Raymond Michael Kluczny
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
While the technology required to produce viable Battery Energy Storage System exists, the economic feasibility (cost vs. benefits) of building these systems requires justification. First, a generalized decision diagram was developed to ensure that all of the economic factors were considered and properly related for the customer-side-of-the meter. Next, two economic models that had consistently given differing results were compared. One was the McKinney model developed at UM-Rolla in 1987; the second was the SYSPLAN model developed by Battelle. Differences were resolved on a point-by-point basis with reference to the current economic environment. The economic model was upgraded to include …
Assessment Of Integration In R & D / Marketing Interface Conditions In The New Product Development Process, Pamela A. Hoffman
Assessment Of Integration In R & D / Marketing Interface Conditions In The New Product Development Process, Pamela A. Hoffman
Theses
This thesis will focus on the relationship between the Research and Development (R&D) and marketing functions as they relate to the new product development process in a corporate setting.
New product development processes are a complex and dynamic series of activities which require a transition in the organization from a hierarchical structure to a colleague-based, horizontal structure. Cross-departmental teams and project management methods lead to shared responsibilities for new products among R&D, manufacturing, and marketing groups.
Research has established that communication problems, goal conflicts, and a lack of openness often characterize the relationship between R&D and marketing. Research has also …

The Use Of Quality Cost Measurement Systems For Improving Profitability, Daniel J. Boehm
Theses
The focus of this study was to determine if t he use of a quality cost measurement system will allow companies to track and analyze costs and provide a means of improving profitability. Focusing on the philosophies and theories developed by W. Edwards Deming, J .M. Juran, and Philip Crosby, three of the leading authorities in the quality control field, a quality control system can be designed to track and analyze quality costs. Quality costs have been grouped into three categories : Prevention costs, Appraisal costs, and Failure costs. Prevention costs are those associated with preventing poor quality such as, …
The Impact Of Implementin Effective Employee Communication To Manage The Evolving Work Force, Michelle K. Bray
The Impact Of Implementin Effective Employee Communication To Manage The Evolving Work Force, Michelle K. Bray
Theses
This thesis will focus on the study of implementing effective employee communications to manage a diverse work force.
Over the years the practice of public relations has struggled to establish a niche for itself by justifying its existence to corporate America, mainly upper management. As an increasing number of chief executive officers recognize the need for effective communications professional communicators are being strategically placed to best serve the organizational objectives. Unfortunately, the area of internal communications is often neglected.
Research has attributed the lack of effective, open, two-way communications to the false presumption that employees are loyal 10 their employer …

Designing And Implementing Participative Management Within The Corporate Sector: A Primer, Robert R. Appel
Theses
The focus of this thesis is the study of participative management, in particular the use of quality circles in the corporate sector. After thoroughly researching the information available on quality circles t here will be developed a manual to be utilized to provide information to the managers and potential circle members of a company preparing to implement quality circles.
Research has shown that over fifty percent of the quality circle programs implemented in the United States failed. One of the major causes of this failure rate is the lack of information provided to the employees concerning quality circles.

Therefore, it is the intent of this project to show its readers that the 1986 Tax Reform Act had a negative impact on the office building market in St. Louis County.

An Investigation Into The Resistance Factors Associated With The Use Of Computers In Office Automation, Norman L. Davis
An Investigation Into The Resistance Factors Associated With The Use Of Computers In Office Automation, Norman L. Davis
Theses
This thesis will investigate the resistance factors associated with the use of computers in automation.
Primary and secondary research has shown that high level employees and low level employees resist the use of computers in their work milieu. By studying the use of Electronic Mail, it has been shown that those employees who rank themselves as upper management resist using the computer resources available to them and those employees who rank themselves as lower management also demonstrate resistance. Those employees who rank themselves as middle management do not demonstrate such resistances.
This investigation, and the research that has preceded it, …

Many educational researchers consider computers to be the most important technological development for education since the invention of the printing press or writing itself. They believe that computers will one day transform education, leaving their mark on education as writing and books have done. Even though computer aided instruction (CAI} has been used for many years, results at the college level have been mixed, although generally moderately positive, sometimes reducing instructional time while increasing learning effectiveness.

Theses
This paper demonstrates the validity or health promotion programs in the work place in the areas or health risk factors and health status. It concentrated on the effect that health promotion programs have on heart disease.
The Surgeon General suggests that institutions (e.g., schools, medical settings, and workplaces should provide the time, physical facilities, and behavioral programs that lead to increased participation at low levels or physical activity and to more vigorous exercise activity.
Some indicators that would be useful in convincing corporate managements to commit resources to health promotional projects would be reduction in absenteeism, improvements in staff members …

Development And Validation Of A Model For Training Maintenance Supervisors For Productivity Improvements In Manufacturing Operations, Robert Reed Johnson
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
The problem of this study was to develop and validate a training model for training maintenance supervisors. This training model focused on those areas, defined by industrial managers, where additional supervisory training was most likely to improve the performance of the maintenance departments.
Research of industrial and maintenance publications identified the maintenance function as having one of the lowest productivity levels in manufacturing organizations. Supervisor training was identified as a means to improve productivity in maintenance departments. An industrial survey completed by maintenance managers in manufacturing organizations in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin identified those activities that were the responsibility …
The Effect Of Different Approaches To Goal Setting On Goal Commitment, Eileen Mary Piersa
The Effect Of Different Approaches To Goal Setting On Goal Commitment, Eileen Mary Piersa
All Master's Theses
This study assesses the goal commitment generated by different approaches to goal setting. The participants were the directors, board presidents, staff, board members and volunteers of two non-profit organizations. One group explored their history as an organization, significant events and the impact of those events before carrying out the same goal setting process as the other group. Self-efficacy was measured before the exercise began. Goal commitment was measured after participants prioritized goals and selected subgoals on which to take action. The hypothesis that cognitively reviewing past history would lead to greater commitment was rejected. A second hypothesis that the self-efficacy …
What Triggers Revlon?, Ronald J. Gilson, Reinier Kraakman
What Triggers Revlon?, Ronald J. Gilson, Reinier Kraakman
Faculty Scholarship
Delaware's new approach to takeover law is announced in three cases that address different aspects of management's role in the standard drama of defending against a hostile takeover. Unocal Corp. v. Mesa Petroleum Co. scripts a main act for the drama by prescribing a duty to compare the outsider's offer with the universe of other options and, if necessary, to resist the outsider within the guidelines fixed by the proportionality test. Moran v. Household International, Inc. writes a prologue by encouraging management to plan a vigorous defense that can thwart a coercive offer without damaging the company. Finally, Revlon …

An Examination Of Country And Culture-Based Differences In Compensation Practices, A M. Townsend, Dow Scott, S E. Markham
An Examination Of Country And Culture-Based Differences In Compensation Practices, A M. Townsend, Dow Scott, S E. Markham
Dow Scott
This study explores the relationship between country-based and culture-based differences in pay practices. Pay data from forty-one manufacturing industries in twenty-eight countries across five different culture clusters were examined. Although significant differences were found between countries in terms of pay level, the largest portion of the variance in the relationship between wages and benefits is due to cultural affiliation. The implications for cultural clustering theory and internationally pay decisionmaking are discussed.
Gender Differences In Absenteeism, Dow Scott, E L. Mcclellan
Gender Differences In Absenteeism, Dow Scott, E L. Mcclellan
Dow Scott
Investigated employee characteristics and attitudes of 243 female and 105 male secondary school teachers to determine if men and women had different reasons for being absent. Although women perceived some work related factors differently than men and took substantially more days off than men, their absence occurrences were not significantly different. In addition, an employee's age and attitude toward pay were the only factors that exhibited a gender-related impact on absenteeism. Perceived role conflict and job involvement were significantly related to absenteeism for men and women.
