TL;DR: The findings suggested that focusing on the enhancement of site characteristics that have low fit with the task is not effective as it resulted in slowing the successful completion of the online task.

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed simulation-based solution approach provides good solutions both in terms of quality and of computational time, and it is shown that the uncertainty in waiting times may have significant impact on route plans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an agency theory framework to investigate the determinants of audit committees in France and found that the existence of an audit committee and the independence of the committee's independence are both negatively correlated with insider ownership.
Abstract: This paper uses an agency theory framework to investigate the determinants of audit committees in France. Empirical tests address a cross-sectional sample of 285 listed companies for the fiscal year 1997, which is two years after the first Vienot report recommending the creation of audit committees among listed companies. Multivariate analyses show that the existence of an audit committee, and the committee's independence, are both negatively correlated with insider ownership, consistent with the owner-manager agency theory that considers audit committees as devices aimed at strengthening the monitoring system, the quality of financial reporting and the whole corporate governance environment. The existence of an audit committee that complies with corporate governance recommendations (i.e., a minimum of three directors, all of whom are non-executive directors) also positively depends on leverage if the firm has a high-IOS (Investment Opportunity Set). The quality of accounting numbers thus seems i...

14 Jan 2011TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concepts of convexification and discretization to arrive at a Dantzig-Wolfe type reformulation of a mixed integer program, and the relation between the original and extended formulations helps them understand how cutting planes should be formulated and how branching decisions can be taken while keeping the column generation subproblems manageable.
Abstract: In many mixed integer programs there is some embedded problem structure which can be exploited, often by a decomposition. When the relaxation in each node of a branch-andbound tree is solved by column generation, one speaks of branch-and-price. Optionally, cutting planes can be added in order to strengthen the relaxation, and this is called branchprice-and-cut. We introduce the common concepts of convexification and discretization to arrive at a Dantzig-Wolfe type reformulation of a mixed integer program. The relation between the original and the extended formulations helps us understand how cutting planes should be formulated and how branching decisions can be taken while keeping the column generation subproblems manageable.

TL;DR: A noncooperative equilibrium of a differential game played with Markovian strategies is identified of a cooperative game where the players make coordinated marketing decisions and the question whether the manufacturer can design an incentive strategy such that the retailers will stick to their parts of the agreed solution is addressed.
