Abstract: A recent survey by Social Systems, Inc., indicates that since 1970 over 1000 corporations in the United States and Canada have begun developing and using corporate simulation models. However, the percentage of corporations that have experience with corporate models remains relatively small. Why aren't more corporations using these models today? Why are the corporate model users restricted to the larger corporations? Are the primary constraints impeding the use of these models technical problems, computer hardware problems, software problems, or political problems?

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretically based articulation of the concept of legitimacy and application of the concepts of legitimacy to concrete problems in university governance has been proposed, which is measured by the assessment of several elements of governance by constituents.
Abstract: This paper attempts a theoretically based articulation of the concept of legitimacy and applies the elements of the concept to concrete problems in university governance. Legitimacy is measured by the assessment of several elements of governance by constituents. It is a function of constituents' value systems, of the decision-making issue, and of the level at which decisions are made. The components of legitimacy are developed, and illustrative applications are provided. Through operational application of the idea of political legitimacy, it is contended that more realistic and workable solutions to governance can be approximated and that crisis oriented governance tactics can be reserved for situations which genuinely require them.

TL;DR: The second Stuart inherited an impoverished royal treasury, and the eleven years' interval without parliament further curtailed the king's access to traditional sources of income as discussed by the authors, and despite Charles's ingenuity for financial devices of dubious legality, opposition to the ship money tax was due more often to mundane bureaucratic problems, such as procedural confusion in rating or dissatisfaction with administrative personnel.
Abstract: I 'T'HE reign of Charles I, prior to the outbreak of the Civil A War, witnessed royal dependence on numerous financial expedients forced loans, compulsory knighthoods, ship money, coat and conduct money which aroused hostility and criticism among certain of the more vociferous of his subjects.1 The second Stuart inherited an impoverished royal treasury, and the eleven years' interval without parliament further curtailed the king's access to traditional sources of income. Despite Charles's ingenuity for financial devices of dubious legality, opposition to the ship money tax was due more often to mundane bureaucratic problems, such as procedural confusion in rating or dissatisfaction with administrative personnel, than to principled constitutional objections.2 By 1640, when the House of Commons exploited ship money as a major grievance against the king and indicted Charles's governance, three of the complaints in the Grand Remonstrance concerned ship money.3 During the annual
