TL;DR: The results indicate that the simulated annealing-based method tends to dominate the branch-and-bound algorithms and the other heuristics in terms of solution quality.
Abstract: This article presents the application of a simulated annealing heuristic to an NP-complete cyclic staff-scheduling problem. The new heuristic is compared to branch-and-bound integer programming algorithms, as well as construction and linear programming-based heuristics. It is designed for use in a continuously operating scheduling environment with the objective of minimizing the number of employees necessary to satisfy forecast demand. The results indicate that the simulated annealing-based method tends to dominate the branch-and-bound algorithms and the other heuristics in terms of solution quality. Moreover, the annealing algorithm exhibited rapid convergence to a low-cost solution. The simulated annealing heuristic is executed in a single program and does not require mathematical programming software. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the behaviors and returns of two groups - institutional and retail investors - in a setting in which underwriters do not have pricing or allocation discretion, and found that the bids of institutional investors are generally consistent with the predictions of IPO auction theory for informed bidders, while those of individual investors are not.
Abstract: Using a unique dataset of complete bid information for every IPO auction in Taiwan during 1995-2000, we examine the behaviors and returns of two groups - institutional and retail investors - in a setting in which underwriters do not have pricing or allocation discretion. We find that the bids of institutional investors are generally consistent with the predictions of IPO auction theory for informed bidders, while those of individual investors are not. Specifically, returns are higher when more institutional investors enter the auction or bid higher prices, suggesting institutional investors are informed and are also able to shave bids adequately. On the other hand, individual investors as a group exhibit return-chasing behavior, are uninformed, and systematically overbid.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated cross-cultural differences between Chinese and American consumers in the relationships of electronic word-of-mouth intentions and consumers' engagement with CSR communication through social media with three antecedents: attitude toward CSR in social media, peer communication about CSR activities, and opinion leadership characteristics.
