The Soul Of The Firm (Mechanicsburg, Pa), C. William Pollard
The Soul Of The Firm (Mechanicsburg, Pa), C. William Pollard
C. William Pollard Papers
In this speech delivered at Messiah College (Mechanicsburg, PA), Pollard elucidates his theory concerning the "soul of the firm," which is most easily defined as the people who work for the organization. In light of this, he defines corporate leadership as essentially a form of service, a means by which the manager serves the greater good of the individuals who make up the larger organization.

An Optimization Model For Planning Natural Gas Purchases, Transportation, Storage And Deliverability, Anthony E. Bopp, Vijay R. Kannan, Susan W. Palocsay, Scott P. Stevens
An Optimization Model For Planning Natural Gas Purchases, Transportation, Storage And Deliverability, Anthony E. Bopp, Vijay R. Kannan, Susan W. Palocsay, Scott P. Stevens
Management Faculty Publications
Natural gas local distribution companies (LDCs) face the problem of managing natural gas purchases under conditions of uncertain demand and frequent price change. In this paper, we present a stochastic optimization model to solve this problem. Unlike other models, this model explicitly considers deliverability, the rate at which gas can be added to and withdrawn from a storage facility, as a variable, and considers its role in ensuring a secure supply of gas. Deliverability is often overlooked in gas supply planning, yet is a critical factor in achieving a secure gas supply. Using data from an LDC in Huntsville, Alabama, …

The Effect Of Estate Taxes On Family Business: Survey Results, Joseph H. Astrachan, Roger Tutterow
The Effect Of Estate Taxes On Family Business: Survey Results, Joseph H. Astrachan, Roger Tutterow
Faculty and Research Publications
A survey of 1,003 businesses examined the effect of estate taxes on family business behavior, including investment, employment, and strategic decisions. The results strongly suggest that estate taxes have marked effects on business behavior. These effects are more pronounced in larger firms where their potential impact is of a greater magnitude.

Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling: A Survey Of Recent Developments, Willy Herroelen, Erik Demeulemeester, Bert De Reyck
Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling: A Survey Of Recent Developments, Willy Herroelen, Erik Demeulemeester, Bert De Reyck
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Resource-constrained project scheduling involves the scheduling of project activities subject to precedence and resource constraints in order to meet the objective(s) in the best possible way. The area covers a wide variety of problem types. The objective of this paper is to provide a survey of what we believe are the important recent developments in the area. Our main focus will be on the recent progress made in and the encouraging computational experience gained with the use of optimal solution procedures for the basic resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) and important extensions. We illustrate how the branching rules, dominance and …

Factors Influencing Award Of Compensation Contraacts: An Analysis Of Written Protocols, Marshall A. Geiger, Manash R. Ray, Narayan S. Umanath
Factors Influencing Award Of Compensation Contraacts: An Analysis Of Written Protocols, Marshall A. Geiger, Manash R. Ray, Narayan S. Umanath
Accounting Faculty Publications
This study reports the results of an analysis of written protocols collected in a laboratory experiment from 77 subjects while they were making compensation contract selection decisions. Each subject made compensation decisions for four divisional managers operating under them. The researchers varied the level of environmental uncertainty, as well as the level of perceived agent effectiveness. The results show that the type of factors considered by the individuals differed significantly. Subjects indicated that they focused more heavily on one of the two manipulated conditions, but not equally on both. It was also found that, overall, agent effectiveness factors weighed more …

On The Use Of The Complexity Index As A Measure Of Complexity In Activity Networks, Bert De Reyck, Willy Herroelen
On The Use Of The Complexity Index As A Measure Of Complexity In Activity Networks, Bert De Reyck, Willy Herroelen
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
A large number of optimal and suboptimal procedures have been developed for solving combinatorial problems modeled as activity networks. The need to differentiate between easy and hard problem instances and the interest in isolating the fundamental factors that determine the computing effort required by these procedures, inspired a number of researchers to develop various complexity measures. In this paper we investigate the relation between the hardness of a problem instance and the topological structure of its underlying network, as measured by the complexity index. We demonstrate through a series of experiments that the complexity index, defined as the minimum number …
Anion Induced Blue To Purple Transition In Bacteriorhodopsin, Mrunalini Pattarkine, Anil K. Singh
Anion Induced Blue To Purple Transition In Bacteriorhodopsin, Mrunalini Pattarkine, Anil K. Singh
Faculty Works
Purple membrane (PM, λ" role="presentation">λmax" role="presentation">max 570 nm) of H. halobium on treatment with sulphuric acid changes its colour to blue (λ" role="presentation">λmax" role="presentation">max 608 nm). The purple chromophore can be regenerated from the blue chromophore by exogeneous addition of anions such as CI−" role="presentation">− and HPO42−" role="presentation">2−4. Chloride ion is found to be more effective than the dibasic phosphate ion in regenerating the purple chromophore. Nevertheless, one thing common to the anion regeneration is that both CI−" role="presentation">− and HPO42−" role="presentation">2−4 show marked pH effect. At pH 1.0 the efficiency of …

Investigation And Identification Of Key Characteristics Of Successful Camps And Retreat Centers, Gregory S. Owens
Investigation And Identification Of Key Characteristics Of Successful Camps And Retreat Centers, Gregory S. Owens
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This thesis was designed to investigate and identify key characteristics of successful camps, outdoor centers, and retreat centers. The study utilized a survey of selected camps and centers within the United States, in the Spring of 1996. The results were analyzed individually and as a whole. The findings indicated that certain key characteristics did exist and that these characteristics were major contributing factors to the success of the camps or centers. These findings were supported by the review of literature and the results of the survey, which highlighted these major areas of importance: Land and facilities, strategic planning and expansion, …

The Soul Of The Firm (Nairobi, Kenya), C. William Pollard
The Soul Of The Firm (Nairobi, Kenya), C. William Pollard
C. William Pollard Papers
In this speech at the Daystar Symposium (Nairobi, Kenya), Pollard notes that whereas the "theory of the firm" is often defined by the objective goal of maximizing profit, the "soul of the firm" should be considered the people the organization employs. Corporate success, therefore, requires that profit be considered alongside the development of character.

The Soul Of The Firm As It Moves To The 21st Century, C. William Pollard
C. William Pollard Papers
In an address delivered at the 50th Annual Indiana University Business Conference (Indianapolis, IN), Pollard contends that the "soul" of any corporate firm is its people. In light of this, he goes on to argue that corporate success depends upon managers who commit themselves to a vision of leadership defined by service to both employees and customers.
Cognitive Elements In The Implementation Of New Technology: Can Less Information Provide More Benefits?, Terri L. Griffith, Gregory B. Northcraft
Cognitive Elements In The Implementation Of New Technology: Can Less Information Provide More Benefits?, Terri L. Griffith, Gregory B. Northcraft
Management & Entrepreneurship
This paper explores the major mechanisms within the Griffith and Northcraft (1993) cognitive model. This model offers a fine-grained view of how user and implementer understandings influence implementation success. While broader implementation models suggest structural and process strategies for increasing the likelihood of implementation success, this model describes user and implementer understanding and can be used to design appropriate implementation strategies.
