New Product Distribution: An Analysis of Supermarket Buyer Decisions*
This paper explores the relationship between eighteen variables descriptive of a new product offering and a supermarket buyer’s decision to accept or reject the product. The data base consists of one hundred twenty-four new products proposed to…
New Tools for Teaching Marketing: Computer and Model Assisted Cases
This paper summarizes the authors experiences in developing and applying computer based models for the analysis of marketing cases. The paper discusses the extent of use of such materials at Stanford, proposes methods of use, and outlines…
A Note on the Relation Between the Generalized GUB-Technique and Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition
Although the generalized GUBtechnique (GGUB) conceptually is very different from DantzigWolfe decomposition (DW), we show that these methods are very much alike computationally. Our purpose is to provide insight into the close relationship…
On Mean Variance Models of Capital Structure and the Absurdity of Their Predictions
Abstract not available.
On Optimal Dividend and Liquidation Policies for the Firm, II: Optimality of LRHD Policies
The study of optimal dividend, reinvestment, and liquidation policies for a single asset firm is continued. By assuming roughly that the probability distribution of net asset changes is PF2, that its mode is not too low, and that the probability…
On the Decomposition of the Municipal Cash Management Problem Using an Interactive Approach
Decomposition of the municipal cash management problem into monthly and daily decisions is considered and conditions presented which guarantee that the decomposition is well defined. Under certain conditions, infeasibilities at the daily level…
On the Optimality of Structured Policies in Countable Stage Decision Processes
Multi-stage decision processes are considered, in notation which is an outgrowth of that introduced by Denardo [l0]. Certain Markov decision processes, stochastic games, and risk-sensitive Markov decision processes are formulated in this notation…
On the Optimality of Structured Policies in Countable Stage Decision Processes, II: Positive and Negative Problems
The analysis of structured countable stage decision processes, initiated in Porteus [10], is continued. The standard models of positive and negative dynamic programming are given in this context, thus extending these results to criteria other…
On the Optimality of Structured Policies in Countable Stage Decision Processes, III: Regular Terminal Value Functions
The study of structured countable stage decision processes is continued. Rather than requiring the terminal value functions to be what are called regular-structured [6], we only require them to be regular. Since the infinite horizon values are…
Optimal Initiation of Bankruptcy Proceedings by Debt Holders

Optimal State-Dependent Pricing Policies for a Class of Stochastic Multi-Unit Rental Systems
This paper models a k-unit rental system with Poisson arrivals, exponential service times and no queue. Denoting the number of units that are out on rent as the state of the system, the state-dependent pricing model formalizes the intuitive…
Organizational Control and Work Satisfaction
Data from 2,398 employees of two retail companies indicate that the relationship between control and job satisfaction is complex. Control does not produce low job satisfaction unless the supervisor using the control is seen as unfair or as…
Public Goods, Collective Choice, and the Regulated Firm

Self-serving Biases in the Attribution of Causality: Fact or Fiction?
A review of the evidence for and against the proposition that self-serving biases affect attributions of causality indicates that there is little empirical support for the proposition in its most general form. Some support was found for the…
Sharing Rules and Equilibrium in an International Capital Market Under Uncertainty
Abstract not available.
Some Organizational Properties of Resource Directive Allocation Mechanisms
This paper discusses some of the organizational aspects of a class of decentralized resource allocation mechanisms based in theory upon decomposition of linear programs. Organizational aspects refer to those attributes which have behavioral…
A State-of-the Art Analysis of Behavioral Accounting Research
