A Proactive, Systematic Approach To Finding Research Topics In The Management And Social Sciences, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper offers a step by step methodology by which most if not all researchable topics within a given field of knowledge can be systematically identified. The method is based on transforming a descriptive taxonomy into a prescriptive one. Two disparate literature surveys, one for Combining Probability Distributions in Rational Group Decision Making and the other for Perishable Inventory Theory are used to demonstrate the efficacy of the procedure.

Requisite Qualities Of Accountants (Bookkeepers) According To German Literature: 1723-1963, Detlef Karl Reeker

Accounting Historians Notebook

Like any educational endeavor, accounting education must have objectives. The objectives of German accounting education have been developed since the 18th century in accordance with German accounting practice. Because accounting practice has changed in response to emerging accounting problems, a corresponding change in accounting educational objectives also might be expected. This paper examines 18th through 20th century German literature for evidence of changes in accounting educational objectives. It focuses on objectives relating to the students' development of personal virtues and work habits rather than those relating to the development of technical knowledge and skills. The term virtues is used to …

A Prognostication Of Just-In-Time Efficacy In American Manufacturing, Mark L. Kahan

Theses

"Just-in-time" is a Japanese philosophy of business management which has as its ideal the complete elimination of waste in the process of adding value to a product. Some experts have contended that its basis is not cultural, but technical, and is thus applicable to American manufacturing concerns. After an initial exploration of economics and productivity concepts, and of U.S. logistics, inventory, and purchasing practices, the matter of Just-in-time will be addressed, both theoretically and in terms of Japanese business and labor relationships and culture. Then, based upon a case study consisting of observations made at a traditional American manufacturer, this …

Management Controls And Modeling With Personal Computers (Pcs) For Material Procurement Within The Department Of Defense (Dod), Stefano Coppola

Theses

As an inevitable fallout of the microcomputer explosion, micro-to-mainframe links have been praised as an effective means of satisfying microcomputer users who insist for more processing power and less dependence on mainframe data processing. Personal Computers used to emulate terminals offer local storage capabilities as well as financial analysis and graphics.

Using a Personal Computer, Lotus 123, and a simulated PC-Link, a management control system was designed to satisfy the Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 7000.2 for material procurement.

The resulting model provides both the Government and the contractor's management control system with a reliable, timely, and auditable system that …

A Study Of White-Collar Clerical Productivity : Composition, Issues And Implications For Human Resource Planning, Sheila Devereaux

Theses

During the past decade, there has been a growing concern and focus over declining American productivity. Declining productivity requires long-range thinking, and fundamental changes on the part of government, labor and management.

One of the major contributors identified is the labor force. What has gone unmeasured for years is the white-collar clerical workforce. The service sector has become the most dominant area where clerical workers have increased, consequently, productivity issues have become a top priority.

Management must assess the implications of losses in turnover, absenteeism, performance lag, and morale that affects bottom-line profits. Management is under pressure to develop action …

Human Resource Planning For Mergers And Acquisitions, Thomas Jide Fiki

Theses

When a firm is acquired or merged, everyone feels shaken.

When organizations merge, the people in them are touched by several real and poignant issues, with each issue having the potential for lowering morale and productivity. When mergers or acquisitions fail, either by falling short of stated objectives or more disastrously - by divestiture - a chief culprit is often inadequate or nonexistent human resource planning.

A solid people plan - which takes into account what and how to communicate before and during a merger not only helps retain a semblance of order and direction within the company facing a …

High Tech Transition And The Organization, Chetan H. Shah

Theses

The future outlook of any corporation depends upon the resourcefulness of those who manage the planning and operating functions of the business. Time and accuracy are two critical criteria in effective managerial reports for decision making. The electronic computer is a welcome addition into the industry. While its applications to payroll, accounting, sales, and inventory have been extensive, computing has nevertheless been criticized. This study concentrates on determining the impact computing has had on the managers and especially on the people working in the organization from clerks to the top level management.

While an investigation of the existing literature was …
