Effects Of Three Types Of Free-Stall Surfaces On Preferences And Stall Usage By Dairy Cows, Cassandra B. Tucker, Daniel M. Weary, David Fraser Feb 2003

Effects Of Three Types Of Free-Stall Surfaces On Preferences And Stall Usage By Dairy Cows, Cassandra B. Tucker, Daniel M. Weary, David Fraser

Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection

One important criterion in choosing appropriate housing systems for dairy cattle is that the freestall provides a comfortable surface for the cow. This paper describes two experiments testing the effects of commonly used lying surfaces on stall preference and stall usage by Holstein cows. In both experiments, 12 cows were housed individually in separate pens. Each pen contained three free stalls with a different surface: deep-bedded sawdust, deep-bedded sand, and a geotextile mattress covered with 2 to 3 cm of sawdust. The animals were restricted to each surface in turn, in a random order for either 2 (Experiment 1) or …

The research justifies job-esteem as a unique construct worthy of further study. Job-esteem is defined as the level of respect and dignity as individual believes is associated with his/her job. An instrument measuring an employee's level of job-esteem was developed and administered. Tests show the instrument meets reliability standards.

What Hrd Curriculum Is Being Taught Within Hr Programs In U.S. Business Schools?, Susan R. Madsen, Anita L. Musto, Tyler S. Hall

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

As scholars/researches strive to measure and describe the influence and growth of HRD in academic settings, it is important to consider the HRD curriculum taught within various schools, departments, degrees, and programs. This study located U.S. business school undergraduate and graduate HR programs, analyzed the general HRD curriculum, and compared selected training and organization development course descriptions between schools of education and business. Evidence suggests HRD has and continues to influence business-related HR academic programs.

Perspectives On Radioactive Waste Disposal: A Consideration Of Economic Efficiency And Intergenerational Equity, Helen R. Neill, Robert H. Neill Feb 2003

Perspectives On Radioactive Waste Disposal: A Consideration Of Economic Efficiency And Intergenerational Equity, Helen R. Neill, Robert H. Neill

Public Policy and Leadership Faculty Research

There are both internal and external pressures on the U.S. Department of Energy to reduce the estimated costs of isolating radioactive waste, $19 billion for transuranic waste at Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) and $57 billion for high level waste at Yucca Mountain. The question arises whether economic analyses would add to the decision-making process to reduce costs yet maintain the same level of radiological protection. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of using cost-benefit analysis (CBA), a tool used to measure economic efficiency as an input for these decisions. Using a comparative research approach, we find that CBA …

Stimulating Firm-Specific Investment Through Risk Management, Heli Wang, Jay B. Barney, Jeffrey J. Reuer Feb 2003

Stimulating Firm-Specific Investment Through Risk Management, Heli Wang, Jay B. Barney, Jeffrey J. Reuer

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This article suggests a rationale for firm risk management that has been largely ignored in financial economics literature. It presents an argument for harnessing the influence of a company’s stakeholders who, whether as employees, suppliers or customers, make a valuable investment specific to the company. Such investments are crucial for a firm’s competitive advantage, yet because they are firm-specific and therefore cannot be transformed or transferred, stakeholders are often concerned about the risks involved in making them. A company’s efforts to manage risk can therefore persuade stakeholders to make even greater firm-specific investments, bringing benefits to shareholders and stakeholders alike.


China's Software Industry And Its Implications For India, Feichin, Ted Tschang Feb 2003

China's Software Industry And Its Implications For India, Feichin, Ted Tschang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The Chinese software industry is small and underdeveloped, compared with its computer and other information technology (IT) hardware industry and compared with India’s software industry. Yet, current status is not necessarily a good guide to future prospects, as China’s recent history amply demonstrates. An important difference between the Chinese and Indian software sectors is the former’s close links to domestic users, notably industrial and commercial users. This has fostered intensive learning in the area of product development for a large and rapidly growing domestic market. India’s software sector, lacking such a dynamic domestic user sector until very recently, has thrived …

Destination Management Systems – Electronic Distribution Effectiveness Amongst Smes In The Hotel Sector, Patrick Horan, A Frew Jan 2003

Destination Management Systems – Electronic Distribution Effectiveness Amongst Smes In The Hotel Sector, Patrick Horan, A Frew

Conference papers

Tourism is an information intensive activity and the generation, gathering, processing, application and communication of information are vitally important for day-to-day operations (Buhalis, 1994). Tourists rely on a wealth of information before making a decision (Horan and MacDonaill 1996). Hospitality operators, especially SMEs, have little data upon which to base an assessment of electronic distribution channel effectiveness with sparse look-to-book ratios being among the few metrics offered. This presentation attempts to assess effectiveness criteria from both client and server perspectives and will map both qualitative and quantitative data into a modelling process to represent the effectiveness of distribution channels, DMS …

On Sport and Society

Intercollegiate athletics is one of the few stable and reliable forces in the universe. It can be relied upon to provide an endless parade of stories and controversies generally casting a dark shadow across the sporting landscape. This past week was no exception, although at the very end of the week there was one tiny little glimmer of hope on the horizon, at least for positive thinkers.
