Current Staffing Versus Accreditation Requirements And Versus Perceived Needs--A Survey Of Accounting Faculties, Jerome Bennett

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

For a number of years there have been a series of reports detailing accounting faculty vacancies. As an underlying inference it seems that reported vacancies represent the genuine needs of the reporting schools as perceived by the administration. Categories include current vacancies, new vacancies and new positions. There has been in prior reports no other objective criteria against which the reported vacancies were to be analyzed. The recent set of accreditation standards regarding faculty positions as adopted by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business offers such a criteria. To test the correspondence of reported vacancies versus the accreditation …

Control Of Internal Auditing As Viewed By The Audit Committee And The Ceo, Jerry Bennett

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

Internal auditing must be controlled as must all functions, yet it must be free and sufficiently independent to fulfill its audit role. Control implies constraint, restraint, restrictions on freedom to initiate, to act. Control implies oversight by an authority higher up in a hierarchy. Control implies performance toward a plan and a subsequent appraisal of performance attained, including subjective judgments of the performer.

Optimal Sequential Selection Based On Relative Ranks With Renewable Call Options, John S. Rose

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

Sequential sampling problems may be affected significantly by the presence of sampling costs and the ability to recall historical observations. In the context of the classical secretary problem, we incorporate these two notions into the decision maker's action set, thereby creating a stopped decision process. Whenever a desirable applicant appears, we may consider purchasing an option to recall it subsequently. The problem is solved for the best-choice criterion, reduced or discounted by the option costs incurred.

A Human Resource Planning Approach For Reducing The Cost Of Absenteeism, Dow Scott

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Although absenteeism rates can be reduced significantly in most organizations, it must be recognized that absenteeism is a legitimate employee benefit and will occur at some level despite control efforts. The author proposes that a human resource planning approach can substantially reduce the cost of absenteeism by staffing for predicted levels of absenteeism. There are three preconditions for such an approach: (1) absenteeism measures must be developed and attendance data collected: (2) the probability that jobs will be vacant must be calculated; and (3) a cost analysis for alternative strategies of filling job vacancies must be completed. Diagnostic instruments are …

Tourism Barometer, Dick Pope Sr. Institute For Tourism Studies

Dick Pope Sr. Institute Publications

Few areas depend, as Florida does, on the expenditures of tourists for economic growth and vitality. To the extent that the number of visitors to Florida can be accurately predicted, the state's visitor industry should, among other things, be able to more effectively gauge seasonal and long-term employment needs, program advertising and promotional expenditures, establish policies for the purchasing of supplies, plan capital outlays for new facilities and expansion, manage inventories, and project tax revenues from tourism activities. In short, timely and reliable tourist projections should allow the state's visitor industry to more effectively and profitably serve those who visit …

Ord River Irrigation Area Of Western Australia, Western Australian Department Of Agriculture

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

The Ord Irrigation Project is located in the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley in the far north of the State of Western Australia.

The potential for harnessing northern rivers was realised many years ago. In 1941, a small experimental farm was established on the Ord, and possible dam sites were investigated upstream.

In 1945, this small experimental farm was relocated and the Kimberley Research Station was established on Ivanhoe Plain, part of the 12,000 hectare area now irrigated from Lake Kununurra above the Diversion Dam.

By 1958, the Western Australian Government was convinced of the viability of an irrigation scheme on …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Outpatient Queue Length And Number Of Providers, Diane Lurie Sachs

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes the development and implementation of an index of accessibility for ambulatory health care. The index, used at Kaiser-Permanente facilities in Cleveland, measures factors such as time spent making appointments, waiting in queues for appointments, and waiting for lab or x-ray tests. Data was collected through direct observation and telephone traffic systems, with appointment availability monitored monthly. The paper proposes a simplified model designed to integrate with existing data collection systems, enabling predictions of changes in accessibility due to shifts in personnel configurations or system usage. This model aims to enhance efficiency in ambulatory health care services.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Swine Production-Marketing Decisions, Larry Janssen, James B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This study reports on the development and progress of a forecasting-programming model for swine inventory management and marketing decisions. This model considers interrelationships between breeding herd, feeder pig and finishing hog activities. Objectives were: 1. To structure a dynamic operational decision model for a modern farrow-to-finish swine confinement unit which conforms with economic theory, uses price and cost forecast information and is as consistent as possible with current production scheduling practices. 2. To use and test this model during a combined production and marketing decision process and to compare economic results with results of a standard strategy.
