Studying The Effects Of The Skewness Of Inter-Arrival And Service Times On The Probability Distribution Of Waiting Times, Rodrigo Romero-Silva, Sabry Shaaban, Erika Marsillac, Margarita Hurtado-Hernandez Jan 2020

Studying The Effects Of The Skewness Of Inter-Arrival And Service Times On The Probability Distribution Of Waiting Times, Rodrigo Romero-Silva, Sabry Shaaban, Erika Marsillac, Margarita Hurtado-Hernandez

Information Technology & Decision Sciences Faculty Publications

Previous studies have shown that the mean queue length of a GI/G/1 system is significantly influenced by the skewness of inter-arrival times, but not by the skewness of service times. These results are limited because all the distributions considered in previous studies were positively skewed. To address this limitation, this paper investigates the effects of the skewness of inter-arrival and service times on the probability distribution of waiting times, when a negatively skewed distribution is used to model inter-arrival and service times. Subsequent to a series of experiments on a GI/G/1 queue using discrete-event simulation, results have shown that the …


Leader Readiness In A Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, And Ambiguous Business Environment, Karen Rimita, Stephanie N. Hoon, Robert Levasseur Jan 2020

Leader Readiness In A Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, And Ambiguous Business Environment, Karen Rimita, Stephanie N. Hoon, Robert Levasseur

Journal of Sustainable Social Impact

Organizational leaders in the 21st century face relentless changes in the business environments in which they operate. The diversity, intensity, and rapidity of these changes create volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), which challenge leaders on ways to lead effectively as existing methods prove inadequate. The problem in this study was that of inadequate leader preparedness to lead and win in VUCA environments. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of 15 Nigerian corporate executives about their VUCA business environment and the strategies they employed for VUCA-readiness and success using open-ended interview questions. The …

Harmonizing The Disjointed: Economic Integration And Risk Sharing, Samuel Acheampong Jan 2020

Harmonizing The Disjointed: Economic Integration And Risk Sharing, Samuel Acheampong

Theses and Dissertations--Economics

This dissertation consists of three essays examining the role of risk diversification in European markets. At the economy level the first two essays seek to identify whether economic integration efforts among European countries result in sharing risks to consumption with regional neighbors, as opposed to global partners. At the firm level, the third essay seeks to understand whether managers of large companies in the United Kingdom choose less financial leverage if they are specifically compensated with more cash bonus as opposed to other forms of performance incentives.

In Essay 1, I assess the extent to which European countries diversify consumption …

Emma Hill firmly believes that an experience is what you make of it, so when she arrived on ETSU for her freshman year, she was determined to make this journey a positive one.

Her post-high school journey had already taken a different course from the one she had initially planned.  Her original plan was to enlist in the U.S. Air Force.  She was all set, but at the last minute, a past shoulder injury she sustained as a cheerleader medically disqualified her.  Emma later inquired about enlisting with the Navy, but again she was not able to pass the medical …

In 2007, Alvi gave a private recital in Johnson City, then in 2008, she performed with the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra in a program titled “An Evening with Diba Alvi.” She will return to Northeast Tennessee, …
