Who Survived The Titanic? A Logistic Regression Analysis, Lonnie K. Stevans, David Gleicher
Who Survived The Titanic? A Logistic Regression Analysis, Lonnie K. Stevans, David Gleicher
Lonnie K. Stevans
A logistic regression analysis of an extensive data set on the Titanic passengers is presented which tests the likelihood that a Titanic passenger survived the accident--based upon passenger characteristics. The main finding is that underneath the strong overt preference afforded in the rescue by the authorities to women and children over men, there was a complex class determination of survival rates among men, on the one hand, and women and children, on the other. We hypothesize that the statistical interactions of gender and class are explained by two crucial decisions made by the ship’s authorities: 1. to encourage, and perhaps …

Sex Cells : How The Use Of Sex In Advertising Varies Across Eight Countries, Stephen S. Holden, Marilyn Y. Jones, Joanna Gabler
Sex Cells : How The Use Of Sex In Advertising Varies Across Eight Countries, Stephen S. Holden, Marilyn Y. Jones, Joanna Gabler
Stephen S Holden
This study examines how the use of sex in magazine advertising varies across eight different countries – Singapore, Australia, India, South Africa, France, Germany/Austria, Brazil and the U.S. Eight magazines were collected from each country. We examined the incidence of sex in advertising and its various components in the 3,201 ads found in this assortment of magazines. Significant differences between countries were found for use of attractive models, nudity and types of sex appeal. While it is difficult to draw firm conclusions, we believe that the results support the notion that sex in advertising is driven by its novelty value …
Industry Clusters And Economic Development: A Learning Resource, Edward J. Feser
Industry Clusters And Economic Development: A Learning Resource, Edward J. Feser
Edward J Feser
One of the most widely discussed issues in community and economic development today is the role of industry clusters as engines of regional growth and development. Many communities are undertaking cluster studies or initiating cluster planning exercises as a way to organize development strategies to promote key local economic strengths or to shore up identified weaknesses. A large consulting industry has emerged to serve governments’ interest in clusters and the research literature on the topic is growing rapidly. At the same time, some analysts have likened clusters to another economic development fad that will eventually be supplanted by the next …

The Use Of Business Tool “Project Management” In Sport Coaching, Yanni D. Afthinos
Yanni D Afthinos
Sport and coaching has offered valuable experience and procedures to the management field. Over the past years, a number of books have been written about coaching or leadership and other sport related issues, that business people can use in order to improve their work effectiveness. The author of this paper intends to offer something back to sport and coaching, through the presentation of a managerial tool known as “Project management”, which can assist coaches and other sport officials to improve their work effectiveness. A tool that has theoretical base and practical orientation, as well as it is needed but it’s …
Narratives Of Job Satisfaction On The World Wide Web: Interpretations Of Value And Reward Within The “100 Best Companies To Work For In America”, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Narratives Of Job Satisfaction On The World Wide Web: Interpretations Of Value And Reward Within The “100 Best Companies To Work For In America”, Douglas J. Swanson Ed.D Apr
Douglas J. Swanson, Ed.D APR
This research analyzed employee job satisfaction narratives on World Wide Web sites of companies named among Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work for in America.” Fewer than one-third of WWW sites included narratives. Narratives were most likely to express job satisfaction in personal, emotional terms and least likely to identify job security, benefits, or compensation as important rewards of work. Narratives often appeared targeted toward new college graduates. Clichés were used excessively in Web sites and narratives.

Frontline Demonstration On Sesame In West Bengal, Ganesh Chandra, R L. Sagar
Frontline Demonstration On Sesame In West Bengal, Ganesh Chandra, R L. Sagar
Ganesh Chandra
Sesame is one of the important oilseeds crop in India, which plays a major role in supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers of Sunderbans. One of the major constraints of traditional Sesame farming is low productivity of local varieties. To replace this anomaly, Krishi Vigyan Kendra of CIFRI has conducted frontline demonstration at adopted farmers’ field in four development blocks viz. Kakdwip, Namkhana, Patharpratima and Kulpi of Sunderbans, West Bengal. Cultivation of high yielding varieties of Sesame viz. Rama (Improved Selection-5) and Tilottma (B-67) shows percentage increase of 46.58 and 35.86 respectively over local check. The technology gap …
Vickrey Auctions With Reserve Pricing, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Vickrey Auctions With Reserve Pricing, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Peter Cramton
We generalize the Vickrey auction to allow for reserve pricing in a multi-unit auction with interdependent values. In the Vickrey auction with reserve pricing, the seller determines the quantity to be made available as a function of the bidders’ reports of private information, and then efficiently allocates this quantity among the bidders. Truthful bidding is a dominant strategy with private values and an ex post equilibrium with interdependent values. If the auction is followed by resale, then truthful bidding remains an equilibrium in the auction-plus-resale game. In settings with perfect resale, the Vickrey auction with reserve pricing maximizes seller revenues.
Auctioning Many Divisible Goods, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Auctioning Many Divisible Goods, Peter Cramton, Lawrence M. Ausubel
Peter Cramton
We study the theory and practical implementation of auctioning many divisible goods. With multiple related goods, price discovery is important not only to reduce the winner’s curse, but more importantly, to simplify the bidder’s decision problem and to facilitate the revelation of preferences in the bids. Simultaneous clock auctions are especially desirable formats for auctioning many divisible goods. We examine the properties of these auctions and discuss important practical considerations in applying them.

Divisional Multimarket Contact Within And Between Multiunit Organizations, Arturs Kalnins
Divisional Multimarket Contact Within And Between Multiunit Organizations, Arturs Kalnins
Arturs Kalnins
The theory of multimarket contact has important but uninvestigated implications for interactions among a firm's divisions because divisions often meet and even compete in multiple geographical and product markets. I hypothesize that firms with incentives to induce competition among divisions will act to reduce levels of multimarket contact among those divisions. Further, I predict that, in markets with substantial uncertainty, firms will increase divisional multimarket contact. I find support for these hypotheses in the setting of the franchised fast-food industry.
The Utility Of Offshoring: A Rawlsian Critique, Julian Friedland
The Utility Of Offshoring: A Rawlsian Critique, Julian Friedland
Julian Friedland
Most prominent arguments favoring the widespread discretionary business practice of sending jobs overseas, known as ‘offshoring,’ attempt to justify the trend by appeal to utilitarian principles. It is argued that when business can be performed more cost-effectively offshore, doing so tends, over the long term, to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number. This claim is supported by evidence that exporting jobs actively promotes economic development overseas while simultaneously increasing the revenue of the exporting country. After showing that offshoring might indeed be justified on utilitarian grounds, I argue that according to Rawlsian social-contract theory, the practice is nevertheless …

Transformowanie A Rozwój Produktów I Usług, Anna Ujwary-Gil
Anna Ujwary-Gil
W artykule pragnę przedstawić czytelnikowi grupę technik oraz zabiegów inwentycznych (wynalazczych) z obszaru twórczych operacji umysłowych – transformowanie wraz z praktycznymi zastosowaniami. Operacje te ukierunkowane są na dokonywanie wszelkich przekształceń (transformacji myślowych) analizowanego obiektu (produktu) skutkujące poszukiwaniem możliwych kierunków jego ulepszenia, doskonalenia. W pracy zwracam również uwagę, iż niezwykle cennym i wartościowym jest zaangażowanie się przedsiębiorców (wraz z pracownikami) w bezkosztowy przecież proces myślowy, którego efektem może być pojawienie się nowych idei (koncepcji). Ponadto stworzenie organizacyjnych warunków stymulujących pomysłowość i zdobywanie nowej wiedzy, bez których przedsiębiorstwo staje się pasywnym graczem w rynkowej walce o byt. Artykuł ten stanowi trzecią część …

What Do The Ibbottson Historical Studies Really Prove About Firm Size, Risk And Return?, Michael Sack Elmaleh
What Do The Ibbottson Historical Studies Really Prove About Firm Size, Risk And Return?, Michael Sack Elmaleh
Michael Sack Elmaleh
I deny that the Ibbottson historical studies prove that small and medium caps outperform large caps because they are more risky. First, I question whether covariance measures are necessarily a good proxy for risk. The higher levels of volatility associated with small and medium cap versus large cap may be a statistical artifact: the greater number of transactions associated with large caps as compared to small caps may account for this difference. Secondly, higher returns on small and medium caps may be a function of less efficient information distribution for these securities as compared to large caps. Finally, can we …

Shaping The Body & Soul Of The Board: The Role Of Institutional Pressures, Alfredo Enrione, Fernando Zerboni
Alfredo Enrione
The world is witnessing a massive and generalized effort to improve the practices within the board of directors. However, there is still little understanding of the processes by which these new practices or models are adopted. Moreover, there is a growing consensus that the most important challenge is improving not only the more structural and visible attributes of the board but the internal dynamics that are much harder to monitor by a third party. This work seeks to bring some light into this discussion by analyzing the role of the environment in the adoption of specific board features. We propose …
