Towards A General Theory Of Systems Model Of Subsystems, F. Benson, M. Gurel

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report critiques the traditional classification of Operations Research models into eight types, highlighting their historical origins and limitations in addressing complex systems with multiple decision-makers. The study explores the potential for more general models that combine two or more model types to gain deeper insights into the behavior of complex systems. While iterative optimization of subsystems is a common approach, the analysis shows that this method is unreliable and may not achieve system-wide optimality. Instead, constructing comprehensive models of the entire system is necessary, emphasizing the need for advanced mathematical methods, particularly in solving partial difference equations. However, such …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

in this issue. . .

BEGINNING our fifth year of publication with this issue, we continue our policy of variety in the subject matter of the articles here presented, from musicology to historiography, from Formosa to the United Kingdom, from Jacob Burckhardt to Robert Frost. We count ourselves fortunate in having discovered discussions suitable for inclusion in a journal of contemporary thought and in receiving unsolicited contributions which quickly won editorial acceptance. As in our first four years, we start this new volume confident in the role and objectives of our journal and reassured by continued growth in the number …

Capacity Expansion In Oligopoly, S. Sankar Sengupta, Gifford H. Symonds

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Imperfections of competition may be modeled in terms of stochastic dependence of the price realized by an individual firm on certain decision variables of the firm and of its competitors; or models may be constructed describing how the profits of each competitor are influenced stochastically by the price or quantity decisions of every other competitor. Models of the latter type seem to blur the distinction between what is traditionally understood as monopolistic competition and oligopoly. We shall, therefore, look for some operational definition of oligopoly, that is, a definition in terms of what firms do and how the market (if …

in this issue. . .

BY MIDWINTER it had become obvious to the editors that it would be possible to devote our summer issue to American Literature exclusively. Before the winds of March had blown in April's rain, the editors had decided to produce a special summer literary number; this was made possible by our possession of a good supply of interesting, important, and varied analyses of several aspects of American artistic and literary life. This issue, therefore, begins with an incisive essay on the generally unhappy position of the writer in American culture, and succeeding articles treat not only …

An Analysis Of Program Evaluation And Review Technique (Pert), Thomas V. Malloy Jr.

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to critically review and evaluate the merits of a management technique currently receiving wide acclaim throughout the defense contracting industry. This technique has been referred to as an "operations research or scientific approach to modern management" [Fazer, 9]. The name given this new technique is PERT. PERT stands for Program Evaluation and Review Technique. In non-defense industries, a very similar method known as the Critical Path Method is in wide use. There is very little difference between these two techniques except that PERT is more detailed and attempts to provide the user with a …
