Abstract:

Description: Economists and organization theorists evaluate that entire human life is exchange of values between sellers and buyers in order to sustain welfare. The exchanged values are often material surplus that are changed for absent things, when there is a lack of things to be exchanged, people are pushed to sell services in order to pursue their absence or psychological needs. In modern world people selling services for their needs is known as employment. Therefore, employers often misunderstand the employment of people, mixing in this way the “service with the brain”. There is often this ironic thinking that people are paid to do whatever employer requires, and are unaware that it is their services that are being offered for an amount of money. Furthermore, this is the error happening time after time in workplaces, employers thrust, employees neglect tasks. As a consequence, lot of authors have argued that what makes employees committed to their workplace is their motives to work. The workplace to be motivated needs to be attracted at some points for employees. Aim: Motivation theories allude that there are many motives why people work in different workplaces, therefore the research focuses on motives of people to work, and differences between them. Consequently, the purpose of the research is to find what are motives that make employees work in not-for-profit organizations and what motives follow employees in for-profit organizations. Research design: The research uses a comparative design, comparing results of interviews from NPO and PO to show differences between employee motives in different workplaces. Results: The results of the research showed that there are differences between these motives, and thus NPO is empathic and independent workplace rather than the for-profit workplace. Keywords: NPO, for-profit organizations, motives to work.

Abstract:

Leaders of not-for-profit organizations could benefit from learning how to build a sustainable organization to help ensure that their organizations could continue to provide valuable services to the community for the future. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the fundraising strategies and donor development skills that leaders used to create a sustainable organization. Five purposefully selected leaders of a not-for-profit organization in Michigan, with experience in implementing effective fundraising strategies and fostering donor development skills for a sustainable business, participated in the study. Transformational leadership was the conceptual framework. The data collection process entailed face-to-face semistructured interviews, observations, and review of company documentation. In-depth analysis of interview transcripts, organizational websites, and organizational documents provided the basis for coding of repeated words and clusters of information to identify 3 themes: the impact of relationships on fundraising efforts, fundraising strategies for organizational viability, and endowment funds as a source of revenue that can help an organization become financially sustainable. The implications of this study for positive social change are increases in sustainability within the not-for-profit community or increases in charitable contributions locally, possible improvements in the quality of life for the employees and community, and the continuation of vital services that are provided by these organizations.

Abstract:

Over the last decade, for-profit higher education has been the fastest growing segment within higher education. Despite the growth, little research exists about for-profit higher education institutions. The purpose of this exploratory, descriptive, quantitative study was to examine the attitudes and knowledge of higher education faculty toward for-profit higher education institutions.

A conceptual framework was used to understand various topics about for-profit higher education institutions. An instrument was developed to measure attitudes and knowledge and distributed through a web survey to 214 higher education faculty from public and private not-for-profit higher education institutions. Survey respondents totaled 111 and 107 useable surveys resulted in a 50% response rate. Descriptive analysis was used to understand attitudes and knowledge.

Results suggested that overall attitudes and knowledge varied based on individual topic. No differences in attitudes were found relative to gender, age, institution type, faculty rank, and years as higher education faculty. The study revealed the need for higher education institutions to share more data and for higher education faculty to engage in more research and policy discussions about the fastest growing segment within higher education, for-profit higher education institutions.

Full text

Abstract:

Vulnerable older adults residing in nursing homes continue to experience poor care outcomes due to nurse staffing levels that are below the levels required for maintaining their well-being. Studies have shown that patient care outcomes in nursing homes are related to nurse staffing standards/levels, which are affected by profit maximization on adherence to registered nurses and licensed nurse staffing standards. The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine if there was a relationship between adherence to staffing standards and care outcomes in for-profit (FP) and not-for-profit religious-based (NFPRB) nursing homes using the profit maximization theory. Research questions focused on the relationships that profit maximization and nurse staffing standards had on the quality of care outcomes measures and the differences between the nursing homes on these variables. Secondary data were collected from public database and analyzed using the descriptive and inferential statistics, nonparametric tests, and binary logistic regression. Findings showed that profit measures were not related to staffing standards and care outcome measures in the NFPRB. There was a significant relationship between FP nursing homes and standards to care outcomes in FP but not in the NFPRB nursing homes. FP nursing homes did worse than NFPRB on care outcomes. Further research, using qualitative and mixed methodologies, is needed to study the effects of profit measures on nursing home care outcomes. The results of this study can effect positive social change by informing policy makers and healthcare professionals/leaders, and, by reducing adverse events, untimely death, and positively affecting the quality of care and life of the frail and vulnerable older adults residing in nursing homes.

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of provincial government privatization initiatives on voluntary organizations that provide personal social services in Vancouver. A variety of key personnel in each of six very diverse agencies are interviewed, and the data from -these interviews is then qualitatively analyzed. The data suggests that: (1) organizations which are perceived to voluntarily alter their mission in response to privatization experience internal division, (2) dependence on contracting can pose a threat to the fundamental operating principles of an organization if those principles do not conform to a bureaucratic ideal, (3) there is a wide range of opinion within the voluntary sector regarding the motives of the provincial government for pursuing privatization, that these opinions have both a descriptive and a prescriptive function, and therefore relate to differences in the response of individual agencies to privatization, (4) that contracting alone is not an effective means for an agency to meet the additional demands that result from the reduction and elimination of public services, (5) that competition has generally increased throughout the voluntary sector as a result of privatization, (6) that privatization has resulted in gaps in service which it has become the de facto responsibility of the voluntary sector to address, and (7) that the decision-making structure of an organization is the most constant determining factor in regard to which opinion of government motivation will guide an agency's response to privatization. Concerns raised by professional associations and researchers in the field of social work regarding the potential negative implications of privatization for voluntary organizations are partially supported by this study. A theory of the impact of privatization on voluntary organizations is generated from the data.

Abstract:

Botnets, in other means zombie computers that await for instructions to execute, are the greatest threat in the internet today. They are one of the leading sources of online crime. Criminals are able to take advantage of using botnets and threaten online businesses, organizations or any entity in the internet. Criminals design and implement botnets in a complex way in order to hide their identities. Most notably the fact that criminals build command-and-control (C&C) infrastructures to manage their botnets. A botnet command-and-control mechanism (C&C) can be designed in various ways. The key principle behind designing a C&C mechanism is anonymity. Hence, criminals can propagate their instructions to botnets without revealing their identities. Since every new C&C mechanism increases the bar of anonymity, it is getting harder to trace and analyze botnets. In this thesis, we designed and implemented a C&C mechanism, btc-botnet, that runs over Bitcoin network. Btcbotnet has significant features over existing C&C mechanisms such as anonymity and resistance by its nature. We built a library that allows to use Bitcoin network as an underlying infrastructure for C&C mechanism. We evaluate our work and show that its feasibility in terms of metrics such as response time, confirmation time and fees.

Sanchez, Barrios Luis Javier. "Alternative profit scorecards for revolving credit." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/8043.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this PhD project is to design profit scorecards for a revolving credit using alternative measures of profit that have not been considered in previous research. The data set consists of customers from a lending institution that grants credit to those that are usually financially excluded due to the lack of previous credit records. The study presents for the first time a relative profit measure (i.e.: returns) for scoring purposes and compares results with those obtained from usual monetary profit scores both in cumulative and average terms. Such relative measure can be interpreted as the productivity per customer in generating cash flows per monetary unit invested in receivables. Alternatively, it is the coverage against default if the lender discontinues operations at time t. At an exploratory level, results show that granting credit to financially excluded customers is a profitable business. Moreover, defaulters are not necessarily unprofitable; in average the profits generated by profitable defaulters exceed the losses generated by certain non-defaulters. Therefore, it makes sense to design profit (return) scorecards. It is shown through different methods that it makes a difference to use alternative profit measures for scoring purposes. At a customer level, using either profits or returns alters the chances of being accepted for credit. At a portfolio level, in the long term, productivity (coverage against default) is traded off if profits are used instead of returns. Additionally, using cumulative or average measures implies a trade off between the scope of the credit programme and customer productivity (coverage against default). The study also contributes to the ongoing debate of using direct and indirect prediction methods to produce not only profit but also return scorecards. Direct scores were obtained from borrower attributes, whilst indirect scores were predicted using the estimated probabilities of default and repurchase; OLS was used in both cases. Direct models outperformed indirect models. Results show that it is possible to identify customers that are profitable both in monetary and relative terms. The best performing indirect model used the probabilities of default at t=12 months and of repurchase in t=12, 30 months as predictors. This agrees with banking practices and confirms the significance of the long term perspective for revolving credit. Return scores would be preferred under more conservative standpoints towards default because of unstable conditions and if the aim is to penetrate relatively unknown segments. Further ethical considerations justify their use in an inclusive lending context. Qualitative data was used to contextualise results from quantitative models, where appropriate. This is particularly important in the microlending industry, where analysts’ market knowledge is important to complement results from scorecards for credit granting purposes. Finally, this is the first study that formally defines time-to-profit and uses it for scoring purposes. Such event occurs when the cumulative return exceeds one. It is the point in time when customers are exceedingly productive or alternatively when they are completely covered against default, regardless of future payments. A generic time-to-profit application scorecard was obtained by applying the discrete version of Cox model to borrowers’ attributes. Compared with OLS results, portfolio coverage against default was improved. A set of segmented models predicted time-to-profit for different loan durations. Results show that loan duration has a major effect on time-to-profit. Furthermore, inclusive lending programmes can generate internal funds to foster their growth. This provides useful insight for investment planning objectives in inclusive lending programmes such as the one under analysis.

Abstract:

This study examines effective supervisor/employee communication in a not-for-profit and a for-profit organization using qualitative research methods. Several studies have researched effective supervisor/employee communication at the quantitative level, but there is little qualitative research on this topic or on the four specific factors of effective communication: trust, listening, feedback and emotional intelligence and the impact on a group. The responses to in-depth interviews of supervisors and employees from a not-for-profit and a for-profit organization identified the overall impact the four factors had on supervisor/employee communication and the organizational communication system as a whole. The study found that three of the four key factors of effective supervisor/employee communication in the workplace were consistently ranked very high: trust, listening, and feedback. The fourth factor, emotional intelligence, did not rank high in awareness or importance. Five major findings emerged from the study. First, the three of the four factors, trust, listening, and feedback, rated high in both organizations. Second, effective supervisor/employee communication impacted organizational communication and climate significantly; hence, an organization, no matter what the purpose or structure, must create a positive organizational climate to maintain and retain employee relationships. Third, the organizational structures of not-for-profit and for-profit are undergoing a transformation, morphing into a new and unidentified organizational model that has yet to be clearly studied or identified, which incorporates traits from both. Fourth, the last factor, emotional intelligence, rated low with limited awareness of the term. Fifth, the study uncovers uncertain internal communication climates in both organizations, but exposes a hyper-focus on external and customer satisfaction communication.

Full text

Abstract:

Higher education in the United States has a long history. Until the mid-1970's, higher education was primarily a not-for-profit industry. The rise of for-profit educational institutions (FPEIs) in the United States has created competition for traditional not-for-profit educational institutions (NFPEIs). As the growth of FPEIs continues, educational organizations are adopting businesslike approaches and quality measures to retain students. Measuring student satisfaction is one method for determining service quality, and can provide valuable insight into the students' expectations and perceived service quality. The recent introduction of an FPEI's audio production program in the Central Texas region has created competition for an already established NFPEI. In an attempt to find out whether expectation, satisfaction, or service gap differences exist between the programs, student satisfaction feedback was solicited from audio production enrollees at both institutions via the Noel-Levitz® Student Satisfaction InventoryTM. The instrument was used as a comparative tool at the program level and included 10 additional audio-production items. To aid in understanding how the local programs compare to one another, results were compared between the programs as opposed to using the national institutional-level benchmarks provided by Noel-Levitz®. Results indicate similar expectations in terms of priorities, but students at the FPEI have higher expectation levels overall. The satisfaction priorities had similarities as well, but students at the FPEI reported lower satisfaction in general. Finally, service gap measures indicated greater service gaps at the FPEI than at the NFPEI.

Abstract:

Non-profit organizations are an indivisible part of the structure of today’s economy, the good they offer are rarely discountenanced, yet they face multiple problems that threaten the traditional foundations of their operations. Projects run by these organizations face new measurement metrics that streamlines how funds are subsequently obtained, they face stiff competition from counterpart organizations who strive to outdo each other for funds needed for programs and it is common place to see governments grant focus change with attendant change in the disbursement of funds. These dynamics place extra demand on non-profit organizations to be relevant in terms of programs and also to constantly re-strategize in the event that prior guaranteed funds are no longer accessible. Taking a cue from the models and theories of entrepreneurship, network systems and dynamic capabilities; projected as the framework for understanding how these non-profit organizations can sustain operations and remain relevant, the research work in this thesis seeks empirical evidence from the field in order to determine if the theories projected have the possibility of being applied in the operations of the non-profit sector.

Abstract:

Higher education is influenced by social, cultural, economic and academic drivers (Knight, 2004). According to Marginson (2003) education is moving in the direction of marketization and is also becoming more profit-driven. Researching for-profit higher education, Fried and Hill (2009:37) state that "higher education is different from most goods in several ways". Nonetheless, for-profit higher education has to maintain its profitability to stay not only in a very competitive market but one in which external factors have a huge impact. One way to react to the changing landscape could be the application of revenue management principles to for-profit higher education. Revenue Management is nowadays of growing importance across several industries which face capacity constraints and fluctuations in demand. Hence, the purpose of this thesis is to examine how revenue management can be applied in for-profit higher education. Based on a realism research paradigm, the author has conducted a single case study design with embedded units, · by interviewing 19 members of management in a leading for-profit hospitality school which offers higher education programs. The aim of the research was two-fold; first, to analyse the specifics of for-profit higher education, and second, to investigate what implications this has for the management of pricing and capacity. This has led to the following findings: Although revenue management is applied nowadays in many industries it is necess·ary in order to fully understand the practice, to classify the type and application of revenue management practice in terms of preconditions and components and tools of revenue management utilised, For-profit higher education looks like a suitable candidate for revenue management practice, however only a 'loose' revenue management model can be applied, mainly based on the use of scholarships and optimised capacity utilisation,

Full text

Abstract:

Recent trends of financial distress for non-profit hospitals and the uptick in acquisition of these hospitals by for-profit entities indicate different focuses from the management of each type of hospital. Using data on hospital quality and basic financial measures, this study examines shift in the balance of financial and quality performance. The dataset focuses on private non-profit and for-profit hospitals with low bed counts, ranging from 50-200 total beds. Results indicate a positive relationship between for-profit status and basic financial performance measures, such as profitability, and a negative relationship with patient experience, cost reduction for the patient, and overall quality. This signals a tradeoff between financial performance and quality, especially measures relating to the customer. For-profit hospital management places more of an emphasis on the financial performance while non-profit hospital management demonstrates a balance between financial performance and high quality performance. Without being involved in hospital management decision-making, examining hospital outcomes is the best way to give insight into how hospital management is shifts performance priorities by different types of ownership.

Over the past several decades, there have been enormous efforts by health care professionals to measure and improve the quality of care. Since 2008, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has assigned Medicare Advantage plans a rating of 1 to 5 STARs based on certain quality measures. Beginning in 2012, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), plans with 4 or higher STARs will receive bonus payment, whereas low performance plans will face reimbursement and enrollment restrictions. Organizational characteristics of Medicare Advantage plans vary by tax status. For-profit plans may or may not provide better quality of care than not-for-profit plans. This study investigates whether health plan characteristics are associated with quality of care as indicated by the Medicare Advantage STAR ratings. We are interested in comparing for-profit and not-for-profit plans. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study to compare the STAR ratings between for-profit and not-for-profit contracts in 2010. Our study sample included 409 (72%) of total 575 Medicare Advantage contracts, which covered 10.56 million Medicare beneficiaries (90% of the Medicare Advantage population) in 2,872 counties across the United States. In our two analytic models, the dependent vatiables were the STAR ratings. In the first model, we applied a multivariate linear regression. The independent variables included tax status, contract age, contract types, operating area, and enrollment at contract level. In the second model, we introduced a mixed effects model to address geographic variation. The individual-level independent variables included tax status, contract age, contract types, and enrollment at county level; the group-level independent variable was the geographical location (county) where the Medicare Advantage contracts operated. Tax status was strongly associated with STAR ratings. On average, not-for-profit contracts received 0.65 more STARs than for-profit contracts (p<0.0001, 5% Cl= [0.52, 0.78]). In the regression model, the STAR difference declined from 0.65 to 0.55 but remained statistically significant (P<0.0001, 95% Cl= [0.43, 0.67]). In the mixed effects model, the adjusted difference was 0.6 (P<0.0001), exceeding the 0.55 difference from the regression model. Tax status is important in understanding the Medicare Advantage STAR ratings. In 2010, not-for-profit contracts received higher STAR ratings than for-profit contracts. Larger, well-established (older) and not-for-profit Medicare Advantage plans appear more likely to receive higher STAR ratings than plans with other structural characteristics. When comparing plans in the future, the CMS may give attention to stratify plans based on their organizational characteristics.

Abstract:

For-profit social enterprises are facing the dual challenges of fulfilling social purpose on the one hand and surviving business competition on the other. Being a sustainable for-profit social enterprise, the company must balance between economic, social and environmental aspects throughout their business operations. In order to achieve the desired end of sustainability, organization need to keep learning about the social needs and the business environment in order to develop sustainable business processes, and better fulfill their purpose as organizations formed to create social value. The study aims to fill the gaps in sustainability research literature about organizational learning in for-profit social enterprises by exploring how effective learning processes occur at individual, group and organizational level and how to facilitate these learning processes to improve sustainability. The study develops an analytical framework by combining the 4I framework for organizational learning process (Crossan et al., 1999) and an AKO (activities, knowledge source, outcomes) framework for understanding learning activities, knowledge sources and learning outcomes. Four for-profit social enterprises in both Denmark and Sweden are chosen as cases. Based on findings, three organizational learning mechanisms are identified on selected cases. Practical implications and insights are also generated for for-profit social enterprises to facilitate organizational learning for sustainability.

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation was to address the degree to which social media can be utilized as a tool for stakeholder communication by not-for-profit sport organizations. Delimited to national sport organizations, specifically those in a Canadian context, and using a stakeholder theory approach, the project advanced three major research objectives: (1) determine what not-for-profit sport organizations are communicating to their stakeholders via social media, including identifying forces and pressures that impact content and messaging; (2) identify which stakeholders are positioned and advantaged in the social network of not-for-profit sport organizations; and (3) uncover the contextual factors that have enabled the use of social media channels by not-for-profit sport organizations. In order to accomplish these objectives, the dissertation was structured into three interconnected stages parsed into three research articles – each with its own supporting theoretical framework (i.e., institutional theory, network theory, and the contextualist approach to organizational change) – providing findings discussed using a stakeholder perspective. In the first article, the results found social media communication was predominantly used for promoting, reporting, and informing purposes, attributable to the coercive (e.g., funding partners), mimetic (e.g., salient organization routines), and normative (e.g., best practices) pressures at play. In the second article, fans, elite athletes, photographers, competing sport organizations, and local sport clubs were identified as key stakeholders with significant advantage given their position in the social media network of not-for-profit organizations. The final article revealed social media has yet to radically impact the operations of these organizations, highlighting some of the challenges related to social media communication. Cumulatively, the findings illustrate not-for-profit sport organizations can improve upon their current use of social media as a stakeholder communications tool. Through the implementation of a unique social media strategy composed of multiple philosophies, not-for-profit sport organizations could consider the variance in stakeholder groups while incorporating the immediacy and engagement social media requires. In doing so, organizations may create the conditions to satisfy stakeholder expectations and increase organizational capacity simultaneously. Concurrently, the findings represent a basis for future research using organizational theory frameworks to explain new trends and phenomena in the social media and sport domain.

Abstract:

Cache pirating is a low-overhead method created by the Uppsala Architecture Research Team (UART) to analyze the effect of sharing a CPU cache among several cores. The cache pirate is a program that will actively and carefully steal a part of the shared cache by keeping its working set in it. The target application can then be benchmarked to see its dependency on the available shared cache capacity. The topic of this Master Thesis project is to implement a cache pirate and use it on Ericsson’s systems.

Abstract:

What explains the lack of normalized relations between Egypt and Iran? Despite mutual potential benefits Egypt and Iran could have gained from normalized bilateral relations over the past several decades, a range of factors prevented them from doing so, including personality politics, domestic political and economic considerations, as well as regional and external alliances and competing visions of regional order. Accordingly, the trajectory of modern Egyptian policy toward Iran has been non-linear. Realist and constructivist schools of International Relations theory, on their own, cannot adequately explain how Egypt's foreign policy toward Iran varied from times of hostility, friendship, stagnation, and openness under Presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat, Hosni Mubarak, and Muhammad Morsi. As such, neoclassical realism - with its emphasis on the interaction between geopolitical structural conditions and the roles of leadership and domestic politics in shaping a state's foreign policy - offers the best framework for analyzing Egypt's foreign policy behavior toward Iran.

Full text

Abstract:

There are mounting expectations for corporations to play a role in overcoming barriers to sustainability and socio-economic development. The explosion of social enterprises in the last decade has spawned a new generation of alternative corporations. Legislators across the world are crafting new laws to meet growing demands from social entrepreneurs seeking legal infrastructure to house their social businesses. “Hybrid” corporations blend for-profit and non-profit legal characteristics in their design, enabling and, at times, requiring businesses to pursue dual economic and social mandates. Some hybrids have been met with relative success in their home nations, others have not. The emergence of hybrid corporations challenges the foundational principles of corporate law and shareholder wealth maximization, as well as the nature of the non-profit organization. Corporate hybridity has received little scrutiny in scholarship to date as it is a relatively new institutional phenomenon. This dissertation situates hybrids within the broader context of neoclassical corporate legal theory. The underlying hypothesis is to test whether the creation of hybrids will contribute to the advancement of the social economy to a greater extent than if such entities did not exist. Part One provides historical background on the development and evolution of the shareholder primacy model of governance, both in theory and in practice, and whether there has been global convergence of this model. It explores some of the leading critiques and counter-hegemonic discourses to shareholder primacy and limitations to its reform, as well as the challenges facing the non-profit sector and resulting global emergence of hybrid legal structures. Part Two shifts the focus to Canada, a unique country to study corporate hybridity as some international hybrid forms have been adopted or are being considered. This critical juncture in Canadian corporate history serves as a live experiment on the utility of hybrids. Using qualitative empirical data, this dissertation positions a Canadian model of corporate governance within the international dialogue, and provides early lessons on whether hybrids can serve as catalysts in growing the social economy. Implementation strategies are provided for both domestic and international legislators who are interested in creating new laws to support burgeoning social enterprises.

Full text

Abstract:

For-profit colleges and universities and accrediting agencies have been the subject of criticism and scrutiny over the past few years. This dissertation examines the primary reason for this scrutiny: the seeming conflict between profit motive and student success. It ascertains the educational values of three regionally accredited for-profit college presidents and explains the differences in how presidents and institutions balance profit motive with student success. To do so, it focuses on three central questions: first, how do for-profit colleges and universities acknowledge and address this central dilemma of balancing profit motive with student success? Second, is accreditation a constructive force or an obstacle in resolving this dilemma? And third, what other institutional factors play a role in resolving this dilemma?

Using a case study approach, this dissertation examines three "best in class" for-profit institutions, all of which are regionally accredited with the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. It concludes that each of these institutions uses a business model that ensures fiscal responsibility but not profit maximization. It also shows that accreditation in each acts as a constructive force, motivating the institutions' focus on assessment of student learning and improvement of student outcomes. Accreditation can also further legitimize these institutions' educational quality in a competitive marketplace that includes both for- and non-profit institutions. Finally, other factors for these institutions' success include family ownership, small enrollment numbers, and constant program evaluation. These factors enabled both a greater focus on student success and the flexibility to retool, add, or eliminate programs to ensure financial viability and stability.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 447-465).
A production line is a manufacturing system where machines are connected in series and separated by buffers. The inclusion of buffers increases the average production rate of the line by limiting the propagation of disruptions, but at the cost of additional capital investment, floor space of the line, and inventory. Production lines are also a special case of assembly/disassembly systems as well as closed-loop systems. This thesis makes contributions to production system profit maximization. The profit of a production line is the revenue associated with the production rate minus the buffer space cost and average inventory holding cost. We assume that machines have already been chosen and therefore our only decision variables are the buffer sizes and the loop population. The difficulties of the research come from evaluation and optimization. We improve evaluation of loop systems. The optimization problem is hard since both the objective function and the constraints are nonlinear. Our optimization problem, where we consider the nonlinear production rate constraint and average inventory cost, is new. We present an accurate, fast, and reliable algorithm for maximizing profits through buffer space optimization for production lines, and extend the algorithm to closed-loop systems and production lines with an additional maximum part waiting time constraint. A nonlinear programming approach is adopted to solve the optimization problem. Two necessary modifications are proposed to improve the accuracy of the existing loop evaluation method before optimization of loops is studied. An analytical formulation of the part waiting time distribution is developed for two-machine one-buffer lines. It is used in the profit maximization for production lines with both the production rate constraint and the maximum part waiting time constraint. Numerical experiments are provided to show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Finally, a segmentation method and an additive property of production line optimization are studied. They enable us to optimize very long lines rapidly and accurately.

Structural change within the industry, improved management, and volatility in commodity markets are reasons to evaluate and monitor the dairy industry in the future. The dairy industry has shifted concentration of production between regions over time. The Southern High Plains region, including the states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas, has undergone cow inventory growth in the past ten years. Dairies have become more concentrated, management has become more refined, and the commodity markets have become more volatile. Education and tools are readily available to producers with issues on reducing production, animal health, and feed losses. Financial risk is a key area producers have limited knowledge and resources. Mitigating this risk is essential in today‟s marketplace to maximize gains and margins as well as create opportunities for the operation to succeed and be financially sound. There are several resources which approximate returns based on either a point in time reference or complete user input. This study allows users to reflect on 21 years of historical data, 1990-2010, as well as plug in their own data or use default market data to estimate projected returns over the next 12 months. This study also builds a modeling framework that will allow historical dairy returns to be estimated and future returns projected on a regular basis. Over time average herd size has grown to reduce cost per head and producers are more efficient, milk production per cow has increased to over 70 pounds per day. Historically prices have increased over time, but the spread between highs and lows has escalated. This model solidifies that milk price and production are key revenue drivers while feed, replacement costs, and labor are large cost components at 39, 17, and 6 percent, respectively. Additionally, changing market prices can intensify the gain or loss an operation will incur over the short term, the projection model shows 2011 just below breakeven due to strong commodity markets. Dairy operations in the Southern High Plains region have shown positive returns in 108 of 252, 43 percent, months with greatest negative annual returns 2006 and 2009.

Abstract:

Depending on their needs for enhancing and sustaining their business and market values, some firms choose to operate with a corporate governance structure of CEO duality, in which an executive serves as the CEO and the chairperson of the board of directors. The problem addressed in this study is that past empirical and theoretical studies of the relationship between CEO duality and firm performance of organizations across different industries have generated ambiguous results, and no studies have focused specifically on the relationship between CEO duality and financial performance of not-for-profit hospitals. Based on agency and stewardship theories, and considering that CEO duality's effects on firms' financial performance are contextually specific to each type of industry and dependent on certain industry conditions, the purpose of this quantitative study was to answer 3 research questions that examine the relationship between CEO duality, presence of physicians on governance board, hospital size, hospital age, board size, and financial performance of not-for-profit hospitals. This study used multiple regression analyses of data of financial indicators from 146 U.S. not-for-profit hospitals selected from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development database of California, for the period from 2009 to 2012. The results of this study suggested CEO duality and presence of physicians on healthcare governance were not related to financial performance of not-for-profit hospitals. The outcomes of this study can promote positive social change by bringing awareness of appropriate healthcare governance structures that enhance organizational effectiveness and sustain hospitals' charitable missions of provision of community services and transformation of communities and society.

Abstract:

Not for profit organizations (NFPs) in Australia operate in an increasingly competitive marketplace for funding, staff and volunteers and donations. Further, NFPs, both in Australia and internationally are growing rapidly in number in response to increasing needs for humanitarian services and environmental sustainability that local and national governments and established international aid organizations cannot or struggle to provide effectively. In this context, many NFPs are being driven to adopt more commercial practices in order to improve their donor appeal, staff retention and service delivery. Knowledge Management (KM) is one such commercial practice, business strategy, being explored to address the competitive environment. Although the concept of knowledge management may be basically understood in NFPs, the detailed implications and strategies to pursue this practice in an NFP context are under explored at this time.

Abstract:

Corporate support for the Arts, what views are held by the corporate sector about their support for the arts in Australia? Comparison of the literature of the not-for-profit arts sector in Australia with that of the USA and Britain highlights differences in the structure of philanthropic trusts in the USA and their contribution to the not-for-profit arts and the benefit of arts funding in Britain due to support form funding from lotteries. The Australian not-for-profit arts sector does not have support from lottery funding or a long history of support from philanthropic sources. An alternate funding source is corporations, and the role they play in support for the not-for-profit arts in Australia whilst acknowledged, remains unclear. With the use of an Interpretivist approach, this has been an exploratory study. Data was generated through focused interviews with representatives from companies, agencies of government and private philanthropy. The findings from the research have lead to the formation of the view that for the participant populations, support for the arts is considered to be sponsorship (perhaps mirroring structural changes in wider society); that is becoming focussed and strategic and in some instances comes at the expense of sports funding. Competition for corporate funding is not confined to the arts, but the wider not-for-profit sector and corporate decision making has become more astute. Policies and procedures support the decision process, aligning it with corporate goals reducing any impact of internal bias.
