A Management Science Approach To Contingency Models Of Organizational Structure, Sang M. Lee, Fred Luthans, David L. Olson

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

This study demonstrates the applicability of a quantitative modeling approach, specifically goal programming, in operationalizing the relationship between environmental variables and specific organizational structural variables for optimal goal attainment. A goal programming model is developed to analyze and determine the optimal relationships for goal attainment.

The contingency approach has emerged in recent years as the dominant theoretical framework for viewing organizational structure and design. Although open systems analysis (Katz & Kahn, 1966) emphasized the input of the external environment into organization structuring, the contingency approach attempts to establish functional relationships between environmental variables and organizational variables. Over the past decade …

A Critique Of Linear And Nonlinear Regression Problems With Four Different Minimization Criteria, Radhakrishna Murty Gajjala

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The multiple regression problem is analyzed by the model type (linear and nonlinear models) and four different minimization criteria, viz., minimization of the sum of squared errors, sum of absolute errors, sum of absolute relative errors and sum of squared relative errors. The advantages and the limitations of the eight alternatives (two model types x four minimization criteria) are discussed. The appropriateness of these alternatives for a sample data is analyzed. Methods of estimating the parameters for four of the alternatives (not covered in the literature) are given. For the linear model, the properties of the least sum of squared …

Optimal Sequential Selection Based On Relative Ranks With Renewable Call Options, John S. Rose

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

Sequential sampling problems may be affected significantly by the presence of sampling costs and the ability to recall historical observations. In the context of the classical secretary problem, we incorporate these two notions into the decision maker's action set, thereby creating a stopped decision process. Whenever a desirable applicant appears, we may consider purchasing an option to recall it subsequently. The problem is solved for the best-choice criterion, reduced or discounted by the option costs incurred.

Theories Of Management: A Manual For Managers, Terrie Hearns Schwerdtfeger

Theses

Terrie Hearns Schwerdtfeger’s thesis, Theories of Management: A Manual for Managers, serves as a practical guide aimed primarily at preparing individuals for roles in middle management, especially within healthcare institutions. The manual is structured around three central areas: managing oneself, managing subordinates, and managing the organization. Schwerdtfeger argues that successful management depends on mastering all three, as they are interrelated and in constant flux due to evolving business and societal demands. Drawing from both classical and contemporary theories, including those of Taylor, Herzberg, Vroom, and Maslow, the work addresses core concepts such as motivation, job enrichment, decision-making, organizational communication, …

Proposed Audit Guide : Audit Sampling;Audit Sampling; Exposure Draft (American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants), 1982, Mar. 1, American Institute Of Certified Public Accountants. Statistical Sampling Subcommittee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

This exposure draft is a proposed Audit Guide entitled Audit Sampling. The proposed guide is important to all CPAs who do audits. It provides guidance to the auditor for implementing Statement on Auditing Standards no. 39, Audit Sampling. SAS no. 39 applies to all audit sampling — both statistical and nonstatistical. This proposed guide provides guidance to assist auditors using either approach in applying SAS no. 39. The guide is organized so that essentially all the guidance relating solely to statistical sampling is located beginning with Chapter 3, section 3. As a result, if an auditor is using this guide …

Tourism Barometer, Dick Pope Sr. Institute For Tourism Studies

Dick Pope Sr. Institute Publications

Few areas depend, as Florida does, on the expenditures of tourists for economic growth and vitality. To the extent that the number of visitors to Florida can be accurately predicted, the state's visitor industry should, among other things, be able to more effectively gauge seasonal and long-term employment needs, program advertising and promotional expenditures, establish policies for the purchasing of supplies, plan capital outlays for new facilities and expansion, manage inventories, and project tax revenues from tourism activities. In short, timely and reliable tourist projections should allow the state's visitor industry to more effectively and profitably serve those who visit …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Outpatient Queue Length And Number Of Providers, Diane Lurie Sachs

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes the development and implementation of an index of accessibility for ambulatory health care. The index, used at Kaiser-Permanente facilities in Cleveland, measures factors such as time spent making appointments, waiting in queues for appointments, and waiting for lab or x-ray tests. Data was collected through direct observation and telephone traffic systems, with appointment availability monitored monthly. The paper proposes a simplified model designed to integrate with existing data collection systems, enabling predictions of changes in accessibility due to shifts in personnel configurations or system usage. This model aims to enhance efficiency in ambulatory health care services.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Swine Production-Marketing Decisions, Larry Janssen, James B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This study reports on the development and progress of a forecasting-programming model for swine inventory management and marketing decisions. This model considers interrelationships between breeding herd, feeder pig and finishing hog activities. Objectives were: 1. To structure a dynamic operational decision model for a modern farrow-to-finish swine confinement unit which conforms with economic theory, uses price and cost forecast information and is as consistent as possible with current production scheduling practices. 2. To use and test this model during a combined production and marketing decision process and to compare economic results with results of a standard strategy.

Assessing The Economic Feasibility Of Synthetic Natural Gas Under Conditions Of Uncertainty, Mohammad M. Iranmanesh

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The science of synthetic fuel production began in the seventeenth century. However, large-scale production of synthetic fuels started in the early 1900's and, for several decades, gas manufactured from coal significantly contributed to the U.S. economy. The production of synthetic fuels declined due to increases in the price of coal and discoveries of predominantly methane natural gas. Today, an extensive network of pipelines is used to transmit and distribute natural gas for industrial and residential applications. The decline of natural gas reserves in the United States, in conjunction with the availability of very large coal reserves, has provided the incentive …

Interpretive Structural Modeling And Its Applications, M. Venkatesan

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this paper is to introduce managers and management scientists to a recently developed tool for modeling complex systems. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) is a technique for aiding people think and communicate effectively about complex systems. The elements or variables of a complex system can usually be identified with sufficient clarity, but the relationships among the elements can seldom be clearly stated. The ISM technique assumes transitivity of the inter-relationships and uses a group-consensus process for developing subjective pair-wise relations and uses a computer for storing and processing the subjective information using simple logical operations. A binary matrix …
