Management And Organizational Effectiveness Examined : Past Practices And Theories Versus The Future, Ronald J. Boyer

Theses

The primary objective for this thesis is to collect and analyze data on how a new model for business organizations might best be formulated. There seems to be a consensus among authorities in the field that because modern business practices are so complex, indeed they have been revolutionized in many areas in the past decade. New organizational techniques must be devised if organizations are to remain as effective and as efficient as in the previous area. Some have claimed that the present structural model has reached the point of no return-that is, no longer functional because of such factors as …

Study Of America's Adopt-A-Horse (Or Burro) Program, Peter A. Lawson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study analyzes aspects of Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro adoptions. After primary data are gathered by a questionnaire sent to wild horse and burro adopters, various statistics, and regression test results are reported, which indicate that the demand for the wild horses is multifaceted and that the wild animals are not a homogeneous product. The results overwhelmingly indicate that young and female horses are preferred by the majority of adopters. This finding had supportive evidence in both a price determination model as well as adopters' responses to the survey that was conducted as a part of this study. …

Tying Requirements In Markets With Many Sellers: The Contact Lens Industry, Deborah Haas-Wilson

Economics: Faculty Publications

The asymmetric information characterizing markets for professional services has been used to justify tying requirements and other restrictions on the business practices of professionals. In this paper the prices and quality effects of state restrictions that prohibit the fitting of contact lenses by independent opticians and thereby tie the sale of contact lenses to the services of ophthalmologists and optometrists are estimated. The results suggest that prices are significantly higher in markets with tying requirements, controlling for differences in quality and variations in other state commercial practice restrictions. The tying requirements and the commercial practice restrictions, however, appear to have …

Analysis And Evaluation Of The "Pay For Savings" Concept : The Residential Energy Conservation Action Program (Recap), Glenn Owen Steiger

Theses

Recently, electric utilities have developed and implemented many methods to induce their customers to reduce consumption of electricity. One of the most unique concepts was developed by the General Public Utilities Corporation. Simply, it is the "Pay for Savings" concept which pays energy conservation contractors for actual (measured) energy saved, and not for the retrofit measures used to accomplish the savings. GPU has developed a program, Residential Energy Conservation Action Program, as a vehicle for this concept.

This thesis has attempted to describe the methodology used in implementing RECAP. More importantly, it has analyzed actual results of the program and …

Alternatives To Lay Off, Davidson Nwaneri Okere

Theses

In the recent years, there have been some changes in the American corporate life. These changes have been occasioned by some external factors which adversely affect the profitability of the companies. In order to address this problem, many corporations have resorted to cutbacks which more often than not, affect a great bulk of the human resources.

The purpose of this study therefore, is to explore the strategies which companies could use, rather than lay off, during business downturns; and still remain competitive and profitable.

Chapter one of this study focuses on what companies should do to help the affected workers …

Stress And Today's Working Woman, Tommie Mae Byers

Theses

The eighth wonder of the world is fast becoming the great American job machine The employment rate has declined in most industrial nations while 20 million jobs have been created in the U. S. during the past 10 years. The principal reason for this rise in job placements is the large influx of women into the labor force.

Two-thirds of the jobs created over the past decade have been seized by women. The post-industrial environment which has produced an extensive number of service-type businesses has substantially opened the job market for women. Financial experts will contend that an expanding labor …

Regional Variations In The Utilization Of Labor: Analysis Of Employment-Population Ratios For Selected Years, 1970-1984, A. Maureen O'Brien

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Consideration of the movement of jobs and people can highlight regional variations in economic performance. The employment-population ratio reflects these movements and measures the success of the economy at providing jobs. To investigate the uneven inter- and intraregional distribution of the effects of recession and recovery, this study compares employment-population ratios in the major regions of the nation, the state of Minnesota, and northeastern Minnesota with national trends. The results indicate that, relative to developments in the nation and the state, the recent recession of 1980-1982 was more severe and the recovery has been slower m northeastern Minnesota. The ability …
