The Relationship Between Organizational Structure and Organizational Control
This paper reports on the nature of control in 78 retail department store companies. It begins with the argument that control and structure have not been clearly distinguished in the literature on organizations. Control is not the same thing as…
The Role of Situational Restrictiveness on Self-fulfilling Prophecies: A Theoretical and Empirical Extension of Kelley and Stahelski's Triangle Hypothesis
To assess the generalizability of the perceptual “triangle hypothesis” proposed by H. H. Kelley and A. J. Stahelski (see record 1971-02325-001), the expectations, perceptions, and…
The Theory of Recapitalizations Under Incomplete Capital Markets and the Evidence of Dual Purpose Funds
Abstract not available.
The Time Series Behavior of Quarterly Earnings: Preliminary Evidence
Abstract not available.
The Valuation of Options for Alternative Stochastic Processes
This paper examines the structure of option valuation problems and develops a new technique for their solution. It also introduces several jump and diffusion processes which have not been used in previous models. The technique is applied to…
Triangular Factorization and Generalized Upper Bounding Techniques
A compact inverse method is developed for linear programming problems having block triangular or sparse constraint matrices. Special cases of the method are, for example, the generalized upper bounding technique and its extensions. For these…

An Algorithm for Determining Optimal Sales Commissions

An Evaluation of Alternative Strategies for Expanding the Number of Black-Owned Businesses
Alternative strategies for Black economic development have been debated with great vigor and little rigor. The qualitative, nonanalytic nature of the existing Black economic development literature partially stems from the lack of comprehensive…
An Informal Look at the Principle of Optimality
The Principle of Optimality is examined informally (bereft of notation) in the context of discounted Markov decision processes. The optimality equations and optimality criterion are introduced with discounted Markov decision processes. The…
