ABSTRACTThis paper presents a micro‐analytic store choice model which eliminates the assumptions of homogeneity of stores and homogeneity of shoppers found in earlier models. The model simulates individual shopping trips within a shopping center and was successful in predicting the stores chosen by a sample of shopping center patrons. Two earlier models were also tested, but the proposed model performs better than either of the simpler models. Besides its predictive value, the model suggests a number of strategic implications for retailers and shopping center developers and provides a methodology that may be useful in other areas of behavioral researc

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper an alternative to, or extension of, the chance‐constrained method of stochastic programming is presented whereby an expected cost of infeasibility is included in the objective function. The problem is to select a solution to implement before the available resources are known where the adaption of a non‐feasible solution to the resources available involves a system cost. While increasing the amount of computation required, the model enables the decision maker to more effectively trade off increased payoff for decreased likelihood of feasibil

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn the context of deterministic multicriteria maximization, aPareto optimal, nondominated, orefficientsolution is a feasible solution for which an increase in value of any one criterion can only be achieved at the expense of a decrease in value of at least one other criterion. Without restrictions of convexity or continuity, it is shown that a solution is efficient if and only if it solves an optimization problem that bounds the various criteria values from below and maximizes a strictly increasing function of these several criteria values. Also included are discussions of previous work concerned with generating or characterizing the set of efficient solutions, and of the interactive approach for resolving multicriteria optimization problems. The final section argues that the paper's main result shouldnotactually be used to generate the set of efficient solutions, relates this result to Simon's theory of satisficing, and then indicates why and how itcanbe used as the basis for interactive procedures with desirable characteristics.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA theoretical connection was proposed between certain social personality variables, namely locus of control (Internal or External) and trust (High and Low) and the formal decision‐making model of Subjective Expected Utility (SEU). Rather than adopting the traditional definition of these variables as “generalized expectancies” for behavior of self and others, locus of control and trust were reconceptualized as intrapersonal tendencies to favor, prefer, or otherwise bias the subjective probabilities entering into a decision computation.S's high in external control orientation did not differ from internals overall, but external males were more risk averse under certain choice conditions (female‐sex‐role appropriate dilemma, probability‐estimate form). Low‐trust S's were also more risk averse than high‐trust S's, overall. Low‐trust males generated maximally risk‐averse choice solutions under the choice condition of feminine role problem appropriateness and probability estimation. In general, female S's made choices that were more consistent with SEU‐predicted

摘要:

ABSTRACTThree conceptual and methodological issues of the preceding paper by Bonoma and Johnston are identified and discussed. A theoretical integration of interpersonal trust and locus of control is made, and some necessary conditions for an interpersonal trust‐relevant decision‐making situation are pointed out. Implications for the design of future research into trust‐relevant decision making are

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper considers the problem of selecting matched pairs of observations for the reduction of bias in statistical hypothesis testing. A Euclidean distance function is suggested for measuring the similarity between paired observations. The matching process is then formulated initially as an assignment problem. Alternative formulations of the problem that would reduce computational difficulty are considered.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes the need to revise the traditional paradigm of measurement as it applies to organizations. It develops the notion that measurement in an organizational context must be viewed as a “psycho‐technical system,” a technology that is intended to influence behavior, including management decisions. It examines the functions of measurement as a psycho‐technical system and presents proposed criteria consistent with this revised view of organizational meas

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the use of moderated regression in job redesign decisions. The procedures outlined are intended to augment the job redesign strategy described by Hackman and his colleagues. Different regression models based on a theory of job design are shown to lead to different job redesign decisions. Comparisons are also made between the moderated regression procedures and the more commonly used subgroups analysis.

摘要:

ABSTRACTMaterial Requirements Planning (MRP) is currently being applied and used extensively in industry and is being proclaimed as the solution to many of the problems of traditional production‐inventory control problems. While the latter may be true, MRP is not without its own problems, two of which are the decisions concerning the appropriate lotsizing and sequencing rules to use in order to improve system performance. This paper describes a computer simulation study which was conducted to determine the effects of using various sequencing and lot‐sizing rules on various performance criteria in a multistage, multiproduct, production‐inventory system using MRP.The results of the study indicate that the application of various rules causes changes in system performance and that an interaction effect exists between lot‐sizing and sequencing rules. What is more important is that a set of guidelines is developed to enable the practitioner to choose a lot‐sizing rule and a sequencing rule that will tend to improve the performance of his system for the various performance

摘要:

ABSTRACTLearning curves have important implications for managerial planning and control. This paper considers the effect of learning on managerial planning models for productmix problems that can be handled by a linear‐programming formulation. An approach to incorporate learning effects in the planning model is proposed in this paper. The feasibility and superiority of the proposed approach over the traditional approach are discussed through the use of a linear‐programming prob
