An Economic Master Plan For Project Future, Economics Research Associates

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

1965—Walt Disney Productions has had development of a theme park in Florida under consideration for several years. Recognizing Disneyland's impact on the Anaheim economy, Project Future was envisioned as taking full advantage of the vast potential of a Disney theme park as an economic catalyst to build a complete community. Considerable research previously was completed on a possible Florida project to help in selecting a suitable site and to estimate the impact and economic rewards of such a development if carried to completion. The purpose of this report is to formulate an economic master plan for Project Future, incorporating the …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

CURRENT EVENTS often have a disturbing way of making contemporary thought seem irrelevant, and yet the history of the past summer rather underscores the relevance of our selections for this first number of Volume VII of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY. None of the articles here published bears directly on the death of Adlai E. Stevenson, the build-up of U.S. forces in Vietnam, blind violence in Los Angeles, passage of far-reaching legislation by Congress, or the outbreak of war between India and Pakistan. Nevertheless, on page after page of this issue our six discussions touch sensitive and …

A Dynamic Restorative Emergency Procedure For An Electrical Power Network, Benjamin Avi-Itzhak, Burton V. Dean, Maurice W. Sasieni

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The study described in this working paper is a first attempt of its kind to develop a computerized mathematical procedure for controlling an electric power system in emergency situations. An emergency situation arises when there is reason to believe that the system is unable to supply all the power demanded by customers. The C.E.I. system is supported by interconnection tie lines that help overcome power deficiency in almost all conceivable situations. Nevertheless, in cases of a breakdown involving more than one major component of the network, the interconnections might not be able to withstand the additional flows into the C.E.I. …

Stochastic Networks In Research Planning, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper explores the development and application of a planning method for research studies, addressing the limitations of conventional project management tools like CPM and PERT in handling the uncertainties inherent in research processes. A research study is modeled as a sequential acquisition of knowledge, represented by a stochastic network of events (knowledge levels) and activities (tasks). The stochastic nature of the network incorporates probabilistic parameters such as success likelihood, estimated costs, and expected time, which are periodically updated by researchers. Decision models are proposed to optimize task sequencing, alternative selection, and funding allocation, with criteria emphasizing cost minimization and …

Economic Potential For Resort Development At Mineral King, Economics Research Associates

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

1965—The U.S. Forest Service has requested private investors submit development plans and supporting data in competitive bidding for developing Mineral King as a year-round recreation area. Walt Disney Productions, expressing a continuing interest through Mr. Disney in the potential of Mineral King, asked Economics Research Associates to determine demand for various types of recreational uses at Mineral King and to present economic criteria for physical planning of the proposed development. This report sets forth the results of the research. In addition, the study suggests an appropriate methodology for establishing lease payments to the Forest Service for use of government land. …

Report On The Research Project On Competitive Enterprise, Gifford H. Symonds

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The proposal called for an investigation of the questions: Why have different forms of competitive industrial behavior produced the observed results, and under what circumstances can any desired, or required, results be obtained? The problem considered is far more than an economic problem. It was believed that political science would help explain the relations between government and industry, that sociology would provide for understanding of group enterprise, that psychology would give insight into motivation of people and organizations, and that mathematics would provide the structure for analysis, evaluation and description. Therefore, the project was organized as a multidiscipline operations research …

Stochastic Scheduling - Part Iv Solution Methods For Stochastic Programming Problems, Gifford H. Symonds, Pierre J. Doulliez, C. Steinmetz, T.S. Chidambaram

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper seeks to prove the basic theorem of stochastic programming that an optimal solution of the certainty equivalent problem is also an optimal solution of the stochastic programming problem. This basic theorem applies to both non-linear space in X as well as to linear space in X. The remaining sections of this paper are concerned with developing general solution methods for stochastic linear programming problems when all of the variables are contained in the b vector.

Gross, Blackwell & Company Mercantile Capitalists In The Southwest, 1867-1902, Ray L. Carroll

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

The main purpose of this thesis is to present the history of a business enterprise in a capitalistic society. More specifically, it is a study of the administration and operation of a business in the past. Another purpose is to give a meaning to the fundamental changes which occurred in the administration of this business, in its policies, control and management; and to give some understanding of how and why these changes came about. Still another purpose is to meet the need for a broad business experience which the individual student and business man can obtain only vicariously. Lastly, it …

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

TURNABOUT is not only fair play but very nearly a modus operandi in the annals of this journal. Last January when she brought out the winter issue of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY as its acting editor-in-chief, Rebecca Patterson modestly and cleverly announced that that issue belonged to the then absent editor. Rather wistfully she wrote then of time off, rest, re-creation, and of the human need for "that holiday of the spirit that comes with putting the old routine behind . . . and sallying into fresh fields, . . ." Now in June she has …

A Behavioral Model Of Labor Supply As Related To Wage-Price-Interest Movements, Gifford H. Symonds, S. Sankar Sengupta

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The major purpose of this paper is to develop an aggregate model of interdependence of the labor, money, and product markets. As is well-known, this interdependence is due to the joint and mutual influence of the prices established in these markets. One approach is to restrict the analysis to the interactions among the observable outcomes (prices) of these markets. From a statistical viewpoint, this analysis can be performed, for example, by means of a suitable Markov model. A pure mathematical analysis can be made by applying the dynamical models due to Samuelson, Arrow, and Arrow-Enthoven. The common limitation of this …

Stochastic Scheduling - Part Iii Optimization Procedures, Gifford H. Symonds

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study explores optimization procedures for scheduling production under deterministic demand. An objective function minimizes production rates and inventory costs, modeled as convex, differentiable functions. The derived optimal schedule balances production and inventory levels, ensuring proportional adjustments across periods. The findings offer a mathematical framework for efficient production planning and inventory management.

A Comparative Study Of Four Systems Of Tray Distribution As To Delivery Time, Temperature Control And Cost Factors, Ruth Marie Deming

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The delivery and transportation time, temperature control and cost factors of four systems of tray transportation and distribution were compared. The systems that were used were the following: 'Electra Royal' of Meals on Wheels, 'Unitray' Cart of Swartbough, 'Lampson Trayevors', and the "Dri Heat Food System'. Hospitals which has the specific system were used for the delivery and transportation time and for the temperature control portion of the study. Cost factors were obtained from printed price sheets or by personal communication with the factory representative of the firm concerned.

The delivery time was taken as the time required to deliver …

A Survey Of Statistical Techniques For Experiments In Which Organisms Are Used As Blocks, Daniel Teichroew

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper examines advancements in experimental design influenced by computer capabilities, particularly in cases where treatments are assigned to blocks treated as individual organisms. Two key challenges are highlighted: the likelihood of correlated observations within a block and the dynamic nature of designing experiments where the structure, size, and form depend on prior results. The study surveys existing literature addressing the first challenge, focusing on the use of organisms as blocks, while the second challenge—real-time experimental adjustments enabled by computers—is discussed in the concluding section. The findings suggest that while multiple models are available, comparative studies are limited, and further …

Decision Order Technique (Dot) The Integration Of Decision Concepts Into System Analysis, Dale P. Brautigam

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

Much of the systems work of the past few decades has tended to be oriented toward resolving specific operational problems. This has given an aura of trouble-shooting to all of systems work and has often produced a patchwork of systems and procedures that may not necessarily be compatible with each other.

A system is an orderly arrangement of interdependent activities and related procedures which implements and facilitates the performance of activity of an organization.

Office automation applications, including the use of computers, has similarly followed specific problem orientation that has not permitted its optimum utilization as a powerful systems tool. …

An Analysis Of The Influence Of Nuclear Reactor Safety Philosophy On The Growth Of The Civilian Nuclear Power Industry In The United States, John E. Wimberg

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

Experience during and after World War II with the atomic and the hydrogen bombs left a definite and intended cloak of secrecy around the concept of atomic power. Words such as “Nagasaki” and “Hiroshima” would cause most people at once to conjure up horrible thoughts of devastation and destruction, and to recall thousands of deaths from blast, thermal, and radiation effects. The tremendous impact from a military use of atomic energy left a vivid impression in the minds of many people. During the early post-war years very few settled their thinking to that concerning untouched potential uses of the power …

An Investigation Of The Use Of Technical-Career Programs In Large Research And Development Laboratories, William L. Stevens

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

The term technical-career program refers to a career structure, separate from the conventional hierarchical structure for management, for technical staff members whose contributions are primarily technical and scientific rather than administrative. Other names used for the technical-career program concept include dual ladders, dual lines of progression, parallel progression, and parallel paths. The problem of formulating a career structure for technical staffs has become more important in recent years, largely because more and more scientists and engineers are employed in research and development laboratories. Yet, despite the frequent reference to the concept of technical-career programs in the general managerial literature, there …

An Evaluation Of The Salary Policies And Practices Of The University Of New Mexico, James M. Etherton

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

On February 28, 1889, the Territorial Legislature passed the act which established the University of New Mexico. At the time the university consisted of a handful of students and faculty in a single building on twenty acres of barren mesa. It was basically a series of one-man organizations, each a faculty member who reported directly to the president. Policies and procedures, when established, did not require elaboration or great formality. Proprietor-employee relationships existed, and all employees were in a faculty family where each knew the other and problems were handled with decorum and dispatch. In the salary area, for example, …
