TL;DR: This concise guide outlines the most important and best algorithms for the symmetric and asymmetric versions of the TSP.
Abstract: The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most famous problems in combinatorial optimization. Hundreds of papers have been written on the TSP and several exact and heuristic algorithms are available for it. Their concise guide outlines the most important and best algorithms for the symmetric and asymmetric versions of the TSP. In several cases, references to publicly available software are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between adopting voluntary simplicity as a lifestyle and life satisfaction and found a statistically significant positive relationship between the adoption of voluntary simplicity and a measure of satisfaction with life.
Abstract: The research presented in this article investigates the relationship between adopting voluntary simplicity as a lifestyle and life satisfaction. More precisely, it seeks to understand the role that consumption desires and relative wealth play in the context of this relationship. A survey was conducted among a Canadian sample of 344 simplifiers and 267 non-simplifiers. A statistically significant positive relationship was observed between the adoption of voluntary simplicity and a measure of satisfaction with life. This research has also established that it is partially through one's control of consumption desires that simplifiers achieve a higher level of life satisfaction. However, this was shown to be the case only among consumers with limited financial resources. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: The authors examined the postprivatization performance of newly privatized firms in Asia and document how the private ownership structure evolves over time, showing that privatization leads to an increase in profitability, efficiency, and output in former state-owned firms from Asia.
Abstract: We examine the postprivatization performance of newly privatized firms in Asia and document how the private ownership structure evolves over time. We show that privatization leads to an increase in profitability, efficiency, and output in former state-owned firms from Asia. However, these changes are generally less significant than those reported in other developing countries (DCs). We also find that higher improvements in performance are associated with certain aspects of (1) corporate governance and (2) the economic environment. Finally, we show that governments generally do not relinquish control and private ownership concentrates over time, but by far less than what we observe elsewhere in developing countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an inspiring historical example of how that can happen and illustrate some conditions under which one might expect similarly happy circumstances to arise and provide a historical analysis of how it can happen.
Abstract: Executive Overview Agency theory stipulates that executives will use their superior information to exploit owners unless effectively monitored or incentivized to do otherwise: Agents here are held to be opportunists and owners responsible parties. However, sometimes agency theory misses the mark and the reverse holds true. It may be the owners who exploit their firm and compromise its long-term interests, and steward-like agents who use their superior information to benefit a firm and its stakeholders. This analysis provides an inspiring historical example of how that can happen and illustrates some conditions under which one might expect similarly happy circumstances to arise.

TL;DR: This essay argues for the importance of studying age-related impacts more carefully and across various IS phenomena, and enables such research by providing a research agenda that IS scholars can use and hopes that future research will further both the empirical and conceptual understanding of the managerial challenges arising from the interplay of a graying workforce and rapidly evolving ICTs.
Abstract: Raising awareness of the importance of examining the role of age in IS phenomena.Providing a review of age-related IS research on which future work can build.Introducing the concept of "touch points of age".Enabling an improvement in the modeling and understanding of age-related impacts.Advancing a series of research questions to further knowledge in this area. As the workforce ages rapidly in industrialized countries, a phenomenon known as the graying of the workforce, new challenges arise for firms as they have to juggle this dramatic demographical change (Trend 1) in conjunction with the proliferation of increasingly modern information and communication technologies (ICTs) (Trend 2). Although these two important workplace trends are pervasive, their interdependencies have remained largely unexplored. While Information Systems (IS) research has established the pertinence of age to IS phenomena from an empirical perspective, it has tended to model the concept merely as a control variable with limited understanding of its conceptual nature. In fact, even the few IS studies that used the concept of age as a substantive variable have mostly relied on stereotypical accounts alone to justify their age-related hypotheses. Further, most of these studies have examined the role of age in the same phenomenon (i.e., initial adoption of ICTs), implying a marked lack of diversity with respect to the phenomena under investigation. Overall, IS research has yielded only limited insight into the role of age in phenomena involving ICTs. In this essay, we argue for the importance of studying age-related impacts more carefully and across various IS phenomena, and we enable such research by providing a research agenda that IS scholars can use. In doing so, we hope that future research will further both our empirical and conceptual understanding of the managerial challenges arising from the interplay of a graying workforce and rapidly evolving ICTs.
