United Kingdom Regulation Of Transnational Corporate Concentration, J. Denys Gribbin

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article begins by describing the United Kingdom's policy toward outward and inward direct investment and then sets out the essentials of the competition laws that are among the major, nondiscriminatory regulatory mechanisms that affect corporate behavior and planning. The article also analyzes the development of competition policy as a microeconomic instrument along with its application to monopoly, oligopoly, and cartels involving transnational corporations. Competition policy, except for cartels, is shown to be relatively benign toward mergers until recently, and with respect to monopoly and oligopoly has sought remedies in regulation of prices and behavior rather than through structural change. …

Patterns Of Development Of Independent Oil Companies In Louisiana: An Exploratory Study Into The Strategic Changes Of Growing Companies., David Lester Duhon

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study was conducted to gain additional knowledge about the process of change as entrepreneurships in the oil industry grow and develop. Thirty independent operators comprised the sample. The owner/manager of each firm was questioned at length about the growth of his company. Particular attention was given to identifying the relative stage of development of each firm. This was determined by analyzing the strategic characteristics identified in the literature as descriptive of stages of development. The evidence seriously questions the applicability of the stages of development model for these companies. The data strongly suggests that growth is a more gradual …

Sequential Information Dissemination And Relative Market Efficiency, Christopher B. Barry, Robert H. Jennings

Historical Working Papers

Research in the area of capital market efficiency with respect to information generally considers only the two conclusions that the market is efficient or it is.not efficient; information is either instantaneously reflected in prices or it is not. We investigate a market structure in which individual traders may require differential time lags to respond to new information, either because of time lags in acquiring the information or because of differences in ability to process received information quickly. In the context of this market, we argue that the dichotomous view of efficiency versus inefficiency is not useful; rather it is meaningful …

The Significance Of Price-Earnings Ratios On Portfolio Returns, John W. Peavy, Iii, David A. Goodman

Historical Working Papers

This study evaluates the PE ratio as a means of predicting portfolio returns. Results indicate that the PE ratio is a good factor in predicting return and that the CAPM measure may be inadequate.

The Price-Earnings Relative As An Indicator Of Investment Returns, John W. Peavy, Iii, David A. Goodman

Historical Working Papers

The use of the price-earnings relative indicator (PER) is examined to assess its utility in evaluating stock returns for similarly performing firms. The measure does seem to be a valid predictor of investment returns and eliminate bias between firms within the same industry.

Strategic Management For Wholesalers: An Environmental Management Perspective, William L. Cron, Valerie A. Zeithaml

Historical Working Papers

The purpose of this paper is to propose that environmental management, a conceptual framework from the organizational policy and strategy literature, can function as a useful paradigm for wholesalers who desire to adopt a long-range planning perspective. This perspective, often called strategic management, may be critical to the success and survival of firms in the 1980's as economic, political, competitive, regulatory, and societal forces exert increasing impact on their performance levels.

Modeling Earnings Behavior, Michael F. Van Breda

Historical Working Papers

The differences between the economic rate of return measure and the accounting rate of return measure are explored. The economic rate is based on expectation where the accounting rate is based on actual events. The accounting system filters return data by averaging and other processes to create a slow rate of reversion.

The Dimensions Of Self-Management, David Goodman, Leland M. Wooton

Historical Working Papers

The concepts that differentiate self-management from authority-based management are explored. A survey, used to assess how executives view self- management, demonstrates relatively strong support for the notion. An overall analysis suggests that in the post WWII era, democracy in the work place and self-fulfillment elements in work design are gradually displacing classic American management and are now allied with the American value of individualism.

Price-Earnings Relatives - A New Twist To The Low-Multiple Strategy, John W. Peavy, Iii, David A. Goodman

The Sensitivity Of Policy Elasticities To The Time Period Examined In The St. Louis Equation And Other Tests., Frank J. Bonello, William R. Reichenstein

Historical Working Papers

Using the reduced form equation of the St. Louis Fed's monetarist macroeconomic model, we examine the sensitivity of monetary and fiscal policy elasticity estimates to the empirical estimation technique, to the assumed lengths of policy lags, and. to the time period studied. The empirical results are not very sensitive to the first two factors, but the results are quite sensitive to the time period examined. Two plausible explanations for the divergent results are considered and examined and the implications of the divergent results for the usefulness of the St. Louis model is discussed •
