The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

Offering a stimulating and much-needed comment on the current fashions in literary criticism, ROBERT GRUDIN also provides an alternative which, he urges, puts the text and the author in context, and literary theorists in their proper place vis-à-vis the work under scrutiny. Grudin is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Oregon.

PAUL J. SCHUMACHER explores Franz Kafka's discourse on transcendence in his unfinished novel, The Castle, and traces his meaning to Kierkegaard's investigation of the same topic. Associate Professor of English at Ball State University, Schumacher has recently completed a book-length manuscript on "Existentialism …

An Information Theoretic Framework For Exploratory Multivariate Market Segmentation Research, Jamshid C. Hosseini, Robert R. Harmon, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

State-of-the-art market segmentation often involves simultaneous consideration of multiple and overlapping variables. These variables are studied to assess their relationships, select a subset of variables which best represent the subgroups (segments) within a market, and determine the likelihood of membership of a given individual in a particular segment. Such information, obtained in the exploratory phase of a multivariate market segmentation study, leads to the construction of more parsimonious models. These models have less stringent data requirements while facilitating substantive evaluation to aid marketing managers in formulating more effective targeting and positioning strategies within different market segments. This paper utilizes the …

Development And , Application Of Expert Systems In Audit Services, Eric L. Denna, James V. Hansen, Rayman D. Meservy

Faculty Publications

Professional auditing has become much more complex over the past decade. This development has engendered a need for leveraging auditor expertise. In an attempt to meet this need, public accounting firms have been actively involved in supporting the development and application of artificial intelligence methods in audit services, which forms the foundation of their business. Much of the development and application of artificial intelligence in auditing has taken the form of expert systems. This paper examines the current state of the art and provides a framework for analysis of present work, as well as a guide to future efforts.

The Role Of Central Bank Of Nigeria In The Relation To The Banking And Insurance Industries, Victor A. Odozi

Bullion

The financial services industry is on the threshold of a revolution. The advent of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in Mid-1986, with its underlying philosophy of liberalisation and deregulation, has brought about a proliferation of banks and non-bank financial institutions. Competition has intensified, there has been increased innovation and sophistication in product design and delivery. While the new changes have enhanced the opportunities for business and profits, they have also engendered challenges and problems calling for policy action. A number of banks arc suffering various degrees of distress manifested in liquidity problems and insolvency. The paper is in four parts: …

Equity And Job Perception, Asha Krishnan

Theses

This thesis examined the concept of equity and the importance of its perceptions on the job. A survey was conducted at New Jersey Institute of Technology. The sample consisted of 150 employees from 27 different departments. The employees were split into three status groups - Non-Professional Staff, Professional Staff and Faculty.

The questionnaire used in the survey was adopted from Carrell and Dittrich's "Organizational Fairness Scale", (1976). The questions probed seven dimensions of the job which were work pace, distribution of tasks, pay level, pay rules, latitude, rule administration, and pay administration.

The seven job dimensions were treated as dependent …

Attitudes And Job Images Of The Public And Private Sectors : A Comparison Of College Students In The United States And Taiwan, Hui-Yuan Liao

Theses

This study focuses on a comparison of US and Taiwan students' attitudes towards public and private organizations. To identify the differences between two samples, 60 US students and 65 Taiwan students completed a questionnaire on 40 job attributes. Mixed design ANOVA revealed significant differences between the two samples.

Overall, students from the US had more positive attitudes than students from Taiwan. For both groups, attitudes were more positive for private-sector organizations than for public-sector organizations. And both groups believed that organizations fared better on extrinsic attributes than on intrinsic ones. However, significant interactions indicated that attitudes are complex and varied …

Interpreting And Responding To Strategic Issues: The Impact Of National Culture, Susan C. Schneider, Arnoud De Meyer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Perceptions of environmental uncertainty and organizational control influence strategic behavior. As national culture influences these perceptions we expect to find cultural differences in interpretation and response to strategic issues. Given a case describing an issue concerning deregulation of the U.S. banking industry, managers completed questionnaires rating interpretations and responses to that issue. National culture was found to influence interpretation and responses. In particular, Latin European managers when compared with other managers were more likely to interpret the issue as a crisis and as a threat. Latin Europeans were also more likely to recommend proactive behavior. This study indicates that different …

Alcohol Advertising: Freedom Of Speech V. Social Responsibility, Reona Jack '91

Honors Projects

In Illinois, 10% of the population, or approximately 800,000 citizens, meet the criteria to be classified as problem drinkers; nationally, one out of four children comes from an alcoholic home; and, alcohol plays a role in nearly half of America's murders, suicides, and accidental deaths, claiming at least 1,000,000 lives per year.' Not only do these statistics add up to social problems but they also reflect an increasing economic cost to society. Estimates of the cost of alcoholism and alcohol abuse reach nearly $117 billion a year, considering premature deaths, reduced work effort, and treatment.

Computer Use In The Scientific Office, Douglas L. Miller

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

Over the past two decades computers in research and development organizations have become a complex and integral part of the work process. Yet to date only a handful of systematic investigations have addressed issues involving scientists' or other professionals' use of computers, and very little is known about factors influencing use (Bikson and Gutek, 1983; Blacker and Brown, 1986; Collopy, 1988; Gasser, 1986; Helander, 1985; Nickolson, 1985; Pope, 1985). As a result, this research was designed to address four objectives. The first was to develop and evaluate a descriptive model of variables influencing scientists' computer use. The second objective was …

Finances And The Social Settlement: The Management Of Hull House, Roger A. Lohmann

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The development of social welfare history has powerful implications for the study of community practice theory. This historical study examines the Hull House social settlement as an actual, working social service establishment, rather than simply the stage for the activities of its most famous resident, Jane Addams. Hull House is examined as an organization, a campus, and a pioneering set of social programs. Its incorporation, by-laws are examined and all board members serving during Addams' 40 years there are identified. Various aspects of dealing with important donors, cash flows from donations and accountability issues are identified and discussed, as are …
