Correlates Of Climate Discrepancy, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum, Jr.
Correlates Of Climate Discrepancy, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum, Jr.
Historical Working Papers
Foremen from three truck manufacturing plants were assessed for performance, job satisfaction, and psychological climate in order to gain understanding of the differences between a concensus perspective of organizational climate and individual perceptions of climate. A measure of climate discrepancy seems to be a better predictor of performance than a measure of organizational climate.

Mentors & Managers, Michael Mcgill
Historical Working Papers
Participants in a managerial banking seminar who had 7 years or less experience were sampled with questionnaires to assess their experience with mentoring. Results indicate that roughly 80 percent of participants experienced mentoring. More research into the process and outcomes of mentoring is suggested.
Person-Situation Interaction: An Exploration, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum Jr., Mary Ann Von Glinow
Person-Situation Interaction: An Exploration, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum Jr., Mary Ann Von Glinow
Historical Working Papers
Data from foremen working in 3 plants owned by one manufacturing firm were surveyed to assess work climate, job satisfaction, achievement and motivating potential. Results were used to build a taxonomy for classifying patterns of fit between persons and situations. Three congruency models are used to interpret the data and interpretation seems to support the need to weigh environmental variables fully in examining performance.

Trends in the banking industry are tracked from the 1950s through the 1980s. Against this backdrop, the effects of increased competition, cost control measures, and increasing use of technology are discussed.
The Interrelationships Between Banking Returns And Risks, George H. Hempel
The Interrelationships Between Banking Returns And Risks, George H. Hempel
Historical Working Papers
Using a model of a fictitious bank, various risks and associated returns are modeled to evaluate the impact on overall bank performance. The underlying truism that additional risk is necessary to realize increased returns is observed.
Implementing The Portfolio (Sbu) Concept, Richard A. Bettis, William K. Hall
Implementing The Portfolio (Sbu) Concept, Richard A. Bettis, William K. Hall
Historical Working Papers
Using a simplistic categorization based on market share and market growth, companies are attracted to using the assessment to assign "mission" roles to individual business units. The categorization is show to be valuable in providing a common "language" for organizational planning, but considerable emphasis is placed on the need for flexibility in assessing the individual circumstances of each unit.
Project Abandonment As A Put Option: Dealing With The Capital Investment Decision And Operating Risk Using Option Pricing Theory, John W. Kensinger
Project Abandonment As A Put Option: Dealing With The Capital Investment Decision And Operating Risk Using Option Pricing Theory, John W. Kensinger
Historical Working Papers
The possibility of liquidating assets used in a capital project are modeled as a "put" option in order to properly incorporate the qualities of the assets in the total valuation and assessment of risk in the project. Where assets can be diverted to other uses, abandonment of the project carries less risk than if the assets expired.

Budgeting Capital For R & D: An Application Of Option Pricing, John W. Kensinger
Budgeting Capital For R & D: An Application Of Option Pricing, John W. Kensinger
Historical Working Papers
This paper presents the insight that R&R investments are "natural" options, and examines the extent to which they can be valued using currently available option pricing models. The nature of the industrial research effort determines whether the appropriate model is based on a diffusion process or a jump process. The option model based on the former is sufficiently developed to satisfactorily deal with the direct benefits of R&D, while the model base on the latter presents several problems. Furthermore, indirect benefits are not captured in these models. These applications and shortcomings are examined in detail in the hope of not …
Comparison Of The Eeocc Four-Fifths Rule And A One, Two Or Three Binomial Criterion, Marion Gross Sobol, Paul Ellard
Comparison Of The Eeocc Four-Fifths Rule And A One, Two Or Three Binomial Criterion, Marion Gross Sobol, Paul Ellard
Historical Working Papers
The amount of error is examined in using the four-fifths rule or the standard deviation to decide court cases which deal with discrimination. Since one, two or three standard deviations may be used as a criterion, it becomes apparent that it is possible for players in a court case to "game" the scenarios and use statistics to support their case. It is suggested that courts adopt a statistical standard in addition to the four-fifths rule in order to minimize the game playing.
Strategies Of Growth: Forms, Characteristics And Returns, Richard D. Miller
Strategies Of Growth: Forms, Characteristics And Returns, Richard D. Miller
Historical Working Papers
