Knowledge, Learning and Enterprise

Abstract: Although there is no intention, here or elsewhere in this volume, to develop an extended critique of conventional microeconomic analysis, it is appropriate to begin by indicating the problems which seem to provide the opportunity for a new approach. These problems are associated with the concepts of equilibrium and production.

Public Enterprise Autonomy : Need for a New Theory

Abstract: The past thirty years have witnessed a phenomenal growth in the number of public institutions at what Ira Sharkansky calls the &dquo; margins of the state &dquo; (1). To perform the varied and complex tasks of modem government, developed and developing nations have believed it necessary to vest responsibility for the performance of significant public functions in &dquo; quasi-govemment &dquo;, &dquo; quasi-nongovemment &dquo;, and other types of autonomous agencies outside the traditional government framework.

Simulation analysis of a mobility enterprise system operation

Abstract: Private automobiles are significantly underutilized in the United States. As a measure to improve automotive productivity, a study is underway at Purdue University focused on an innovative idea called "Mobility Enterprise". The enterprise concept is based on better matching one's trip requirements to the vehicle's characteristics. The present paper describes a simulation model developed for studying the operation of a mobility enterprise and evaluating system performance of such an enterprise under various operating options. The model includes an optimization module capable of selecting key decision variables in order to optimize the enterprise system configuration. The model was intended to provide input to an experimental mobility enterprise being launched at Lafayette, Indiana.
