A Technological Lifecycle Approach To The Organizational-Factors Determining Gatekeeper Activities, Arnoud De Meyer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The paper deals with the question whether gatekeepers arise spontaneously (non-hierarchical) or are created by administrative action (hierarchical). The author's approach to the problem relies on the use of a lifecycle model of an organisation devised by Utterback and Abernathy. They distinguish a product-innovation, a transitional and process- innovation (consolidation) phase in the development of an enterprise. The author's hypothesis is that gatekeepers can arise via either route depending on the phase in which enterprise is operating. In the earlier phases the author predicts that gatekeepers will either be absent or non-hierarchical (spontaneous) while in later phases they will be …

Hsus Exposes Livestock Transportation Cruelty

Close Up Reports

After a massive investigation covering nine months, twenty states, and more than 20,000 miles, The HSUS has documented that every day and every night, thousands of cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, and other animals are being crowded, beaten, electrically shocked, trampled--or even killed--during miserable journeys that ultimately end at the slaughterhouses of this country.

Animals are injured during loading, then forced to negotiate dark truck interiors, steep ramps, narrow doorways, sharp turns, and slippery flooring. They are loaded so hurriedly that they knock down or climb onto those animals ahead of them and are crowded so tightly that they injure or …

Coordination In A Franchise Channel, Russell Abratt, M. H. Lindenberg

HCBE Faculty Articles

This study aimed to replicate in South Africa a survey by Guiltinan et al (1980) on the effect on coordination in a franchise channel of: Franchise authority; franchise influence; helpfulness of communications; automony; and uncertainty. The results will be of value to both franchisors and franchisees. In addition the results in South Africa are very similar to the United States study. This has important implications for United States companies wanting to expand their operations to South Africa.

Hierdie studie was gerig op die replikasie van 'n opname deur Guiltinan et al (1980) oor die effek op koordinasie in 'n agentskapskanaal …

Warranty Policies For Non-Repairable Items Under Risk Aversion, Peter H. Ritchken

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

An approach is presented for analyzing warranty policies for items receiving renewable warranties when failure occurs during the warranty interval. The model presented corrects a model of Thomas and then extends the methodology by describing how sellers’ risk aversity influences the policy. It is shown that for exponential failures, linear rebate policies are more attractive to risk averse sellers than shorter term full rebate policies that result in the same expected cost.

The Management Of Innovative Start-Up Firms, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Entrepreneurship is having a major impact on this country's economy in terms of both job creation and capital appreciation. Published studies have demonstrated that there are several features common to the start-up of technology-based entrepreneurially oriented organizations. However, there is no evidence in the published literature on the subject of a network planning method being developed and applied to manage such ventures. This is in significant contrast to the widespread use of such planning methods in other areas of management to schedule and control complex projects. Based on the use of a systems approach, a project management method is developed …

A Retail Chain Multi Product Repricing Methodology, Kamlesh Mathur, Susumu Morito, Julio N. Berrettoni, Mohan Sundaram

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In the marketing literature, various models have been suggested for the initial pricing of commercial products. However, not much work has been reported for the subsequent repricing function performed periodically, in particular, by retail chains, due to frequent changes in one or more of the product characteristics. This paper discusses the repricing problem and develops a nonlinear regression based methodology to design and implement a computerized system to perform this function. The model has been tested and validated for use in a large national retail chain.
