Fisheries Report No 68 - The Commercial Fishery For Barramundi (Lates Calcarifer) In Western Australia, Dr N. Morrissy

Fisheries Research Reports

Commercial catch and effort data from the Western Australian fishery for barramundi, Lates calcarifer, over eight years to 1982-83 were analysed. Major stocks and areas of this fishery are Cambridge Gulf (Ord River, port of Wyndham), Kimberley coast, King Sound and Broome coast (Fitzroy River, ports of Derby and Broome), and Pilbara coast (ports of Port Hedland, Roebourne and Onslow) where the Ashburton River is the southern limit to the distribution of barramundi on the west coast. As elsewhere, barramundi stocks are associated with river systems. The Low annual catch of about 30 tonnes appears to be due to the …

Refining The Displacement Of Culture And The Use Of Scenes And Themes In Organizational Studies, Nancy C. Morey, Fred Luthans

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

The move to displace the concept of culture traditionally used in anthropology to organizational research is discussed. Issues surrounding the culture concept and the juxtaposition of culture and organization are given special attention. Current thinking about the nature of the process of displacement is refined. Examples from an ongoing study of a city transit organization are used to demonstrate the use of cultural scenes and themes in organizational research.

Contrasts In Management And Productivity Between The Japanese And American Systems; (What Can And What Is Being Done), Jim Venables

Theses

This paper, "Contrasts in Management and Productivity Between the Japanese and American Systems; (What Can and What Is Being Done)" by Jim Venables, provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of Japanese and American management styles, highlighting their impact on productivity, corporate culture, and organizational effectiveness. Beginning with Japan’s post-World War II industrial ascent, the study attributes much of the nation's economic success to superior managerial practices rather than external factors such as labor costs or resources. The paper juxtaposes two corporate giants—Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) and International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT)—as representative models of their respective systems.

The Japanese model, exemplified by …

Mil-Std-1772 Certification Requirements, Edgar Allen Wright

Theses

This thesis explores the establishment, purpose, and implications of MIL-STD-1772, a military standard developed to certify hybrid microcircuit facilities and fabrication lines. The standard emerged in response to inconsistencies and reliability concerns in military-grade hybrid microcircuit production, aiming to unify audit and certification procedures across the defense sector. Developed in conjunction with significant revisions to MIL-M-38510 and MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-1772 marks a major shift from product-based to process-based certification, emphasizing consistent manufacturing quality over one-time inspection results.

The work outlines the rationale and development history of MIL-STD-1772, detailing the joint efforts of government agencies, industry representatives, and standardization councils. It also …

Price Determination In A Competitive Industry With Costly Information And A Production Lag, Reuven Glick, Clas Wihlborg

Business Faculty Articles and Research

We analyze the role of information for price and output adjustment when competitive firms with rational expectations cannot directly distinguish between industrywide and firm-specific cost disturbances. Firms may become informed about industrywide cost conditions by acquiring information at a cost. The sensitivity of price and output to cost disturbances decreases as more firms choose to purchase information. The equilibrium industry share of informed firms increases as the cost of information falls and total cost variability increases. The equilibrium share of informed firms is largest when there is a comparable degree of variability in both industrywide and firm-specific costs.

Research Notes Organizational Commitment: A Comparison Of American, Japanese, And Korean Employees, Fred Luthans, Harriette S. Mccaul, Nancy G. Dodd

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Considerable attention is currently being given to exploring differences between Japanese and American workers that might explain the widening gap between the productivity growth rates of the two countries. Some researchers have suggested that this difference in productivity growth is, at least in part, due to Japanese workers' having a higher level of commitment to their orgnaizations than American works (Cole, 1979; Hatvany & Pucik, 1981; Marsh & Mannari, 1977; Whitehall & Takezawa, 1968). Turnover rates are commonly cited to support the popular notion that Japanese employees, whose turnover rate is about half that of their American counterparts, are more …

Some Generalizations And Applications Of Thinning Of Point Processes-Covariance Analysis, Lung-Kuang Liang

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This dissertation addresses the areas of thinning and superposition of point and marked point processes. Specifically, we examine the dependencies between the thinned processes obtained when an original point process is thinned to produce two or more point processes. These dependencies have been examined at the level of cross-covariances under certain assumptions about the original point process as well as the thinning rule. In particular, the following independent thinning of point processes models are studied: 1) Bernoulli thinning of delayed renewal processes, exponential moving-average processes of order 1 and doubly stochastic; 2) Poisson processes; 3) Multinomial thinning of point processes; …

Optimal Inventory And Replacement Policy With Production Dependent Equipment Deterioration, Chin-Chih Ho

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A periodic review, stochastic demand, dynamic, combined production inventory and equipment replacement problem is considered. The production system is subject to deterioration and random failure with probability dependent on initial state and quantity produced in a period. The problem is formulated as a discounted Markov decision process with two-dimensional state and action spaces. Assumptions are presented which are sufficient to prove that a simply structured production and replacement policy is optimal in any finite or infinite horizon case. The objective is to minimize the total expected discounted cost. In the finite horizon case, two different types of models, namely, the …

On Option Pricing Bounds, Peter H. Ritchken

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this article is to compare the Perrakis and Ryan bounds of option prices in a single period model with option bounds derived using linear programming. It is shown that the upper bounds are identical but that the lower bounds are different. A comparison of these bounds, together with Merton's bounds and the Black-Scholes prices in a lognormal securities market, is presented.

Integrating Zero-Base Budgeting With Management-By-Objectives: An Empirical Inquiry, John Joseph Williams, James D. Newton, Eric A. Morgan

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

Popular arguments in the management literature advocate the implementation congruity and complementarity of zero-base budgeting (ZBB) with an established management-by-objectives (MBO) system. The present study examined management perceptions on 28 ZBB implementation variables for MBO users and non-MBO users which were gathered from 153 managers at two hierarchical levels within a single private sector organization. Results from both univariate and multivariate tests indicate that ZBB implementation was not facilitated by the existence of an MBO system for either lower level management or for upper level management. The evidence obtained here strongly suggests that the purported conventional rationale underlying ZBB coupling …
