TL;DR: In this paper, a man-machine interactive mathematical programming method is presented for solving the multiple criteria problem involving a single decision maker, where all decision-relevant criteria or objective functions are concave functions to be maximized, and the constraint set is convex.
Abstract: In this paper a man-machine interactive mathematical programming method is presented for solving the multiple criteria problem involving a single decision maker. It is assumed that all decision-relevant criteria or objective functions are concave functions to be maximized, and that the constraint set is convex. The overall utility function is assumed to be unknown explicitly to the decision maker, but is assumed to be implicitly a linear function, and more generally a concave function of the objective functions. To solve a problem involving multiple objectives the decision maker is requested to provide answers to yes and no questions regarding certain trade offs that he likes or dislikes. Convergence of the method is proved; a numerical example is presented. Tests of the method as well as an extension of the method for solving integer linear programming problems are also described.

TL;DR: This work turns attention from describing surprising changes to a system for detecting, analyzing, and responding to them, and finds this system is now receiving increasing attention from firms.
Abstract: We turn attention from describing surprising changes to a system for detecting, analyzing, and responding to them. This system is now receiving increasing attention from firms.

TL;DR: The authors studied the predictive ability of implicit standard deviations, taking into account the dividend problem and the problem of optimal weighting schemes of the standard deviations when there are several options on the same stock.
Abstract: Standard deviations implied in option prices have recently been introduced as being better than average predictors of future stock price variability. This article specifically studies the predictive ability of implicit standard deviations, taking into account the dividend problem and the problem of optimal weighting schemes of the standard deviations when there are several options on the same stock. Transaction data information was used to study the importance of non-simultaneities in observing stock and option prices.

TL;DR: In this article, a distinction is made between routine industrial-type processes, for which a homeostatic paradigm is more suitable, and non-routine, non-industrial type processes, which a political paradigm is recommended.
Abstract: The ineffectiveness of many management control systems is attributed to the cybernetic philosophy on which they are based. A distinction is made between routine industrial-type processes, for which a homeostatic paradigm is more suitable, and non-routine, non-industrial-type processes, for which a political paradigm is recommended. Attempts at enforcing a cybernetic paradigm on the latter processes, like Program-Planning-Budgeting System and Management-By-Objectives, are bound to fail.

TL;DR: This paper showed that increased exchange rate volatility positively affects the value of exporting firms via the price and volume impacts of exchange rates, and also makes an exporting strategy more attractive relative to the direct investment.
Abstract: Increased exchange rate volatility positively affects the value of exporting firms via the price and volume impacts of exchange rates, and also makes an exporting strategy more attractive relative to the direct investment. Investment in export production capacity could therefore be a positive function of exchange rate volatility. Firms would also be more willing to sustain losses (i.e., to engage in dumping) before they abandon their export markets. The effect on the volume and value of trade is ambiguous.
