An Immigrant's Gift: The Life Of Quality Pioneer, Joseph M. Juran - Transcript, Dr. Joseph M. Juran Collection

'An Immigrant's Gift': Interviews about the Life and Impact of Dr. Joseph M. Juran

In the latter decades of the 20th Century, there occurred a silent revolution that swept across nations and effected all the peoples of the earth. This quality revolution began in the mind of a humble immigrant to the United States, Joseph M. Juran. His contributions to industry are heralded around the world, and yet his life story has remained unknown until now. An Immigrant's Gift is a compelling and inspirational portrait of a brilliant mind and a great humanist, who, in an unassuming way, had a profound impact on the international business community and our everyday lives.

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

With the changing demographics in today's labor force, employers are now faced with new challenges in the workplace.

Training and development is one of the areas that has seen the most impact through increased levels of diversity in organizations. Through development of diversity training programs, Human Resource departments will be able to impact corporate culture, recruitment, compensation, and …

Fields Of Green: A Proposal To Save Baseball, John Koszala

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

This thesis contains solutions to two of the main issues currently facing baseball: the needs for revenue sharing and cost control. The basic premise behind the system of revenue sharing is that the product of baseball is a game. Therefore, both teams that play in the game should be equally compensated for their input. The issue of cost control is addressed by the creation of a salary cap. The cap would be set at a predetermined amount of revenues (total revenues minus other, non-payroll expenses) and all money designated under the cap would be paid to the players in the …

Cross-Tested Defined Contribution Plans, Ho Kuen Ng

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

Cross-tested plans are defined contribution plans that test allocations for nondiscrimination. The test is based on a plan's actuarial equivalent annuity benefits. Cross-tested plans have become popular among small plan sponsors after the release of the nondiscrimination regulations. This paper investigates the pros and cons of cross-testing.

Discussion Of Ronald T. Kozlowski And Stuart B. Mathewson's "Measuring And Managing Catastrophe Risk", Rade T. Musulin

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Mathewson's paper provides a good introduction to the development and use of models in the property insurance industry. It will be a valuable addition to the regrettably sparse actuarialliterature in this area. This discussion will offer several comments on the ideas raised in the paper, focusing on how models can be used to enhance an actuary's work. The use of models has sparked major controversies between regulators and insurers in several jurisdictions, notably Florida. Controversy is not limited to the regulatory arena, however. Because models are being used by reinsurers to rate contracts and by A.M. …

Decision Making Under Conflicting Criteria In Pension Valuations: An Expected Utility Model, Lisa Lipowski Posey, Arnold F. Shapiro

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

Many of the criteria used by actuaries when selecting assumptions for pension plan valuations often conflict. As a result, actuaries must weigh the various costs and benefits associated with a particular set of assumptions. We use expected utility theory to model the process of chOOSing actuarial assumptions when faced with potentially conflicting criteria. The three criteria considered are prudence, best estimate, and conservatism. The actual contribution chosen by the actuary is found to depend on the contribution level that triggers a red flag with respect to tax deductibility. If this level is relatively low, the actuary chooses a high contribution …

Sensitivity Testing Of Prdperty/Casualty Cash Flows, Ralph S. Blanchard Iii, Eduardo P. Marchena

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

The paper outlines an approach that has evolved at Aetna through ten years of property/casualty insurance cash flow testing. Methodologies and approaches to setting parameters reflecting both default and call/prepayment risk are discussed for major invested asset categories. Modeling runoff cash flows for a base scenario (and, for some of these assets, shocked scenarios) also is examined for major non-invested asset categories. Loss reserve cash flow modeling is not addressed, except for a brief description of one approach to shocking projected flows. Finally, various alternatives are given for presenting cash flow testing results to management and non-actuarial audiences.

Surveillance Of Life Insurer Solvency: A Comparison Of Stock And The Multiple Scenario Cash Flow Financial Stress Tests, Ronald W. Spahr, Paul L. Gronewoller

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993–2006)

The solvency of life insurance companies may be threatened by interest rate risk when the maturities of assets and liabilities are mismatched. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) multiple scenario cashflow test (MSCFT) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) net portfolio value model (stock) approaches to financial stress tests are illustrated and analyzed with respect to their capacity to estimate the impact of potential changes in interest rates on life insurance company capital and surplus. Each approach is illustrated with the assets and liabilities of three hypothetical life insurance company capital levels (high, average, and below average) and …
