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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Organisations are different from each other due to a myriad of factors. One of them is motive. Organizations fundamentally operate under two premises: first is to make profits and the second is to provide social services without an explicit intend to make profits. This study mainly focuses on these organisations and explores the compatible leadership behaviours in these organisations. In other words, what different leadership behaviours prevail in these organisations? Major studies in the field related to profit and non-profit organisations are discussed in a comparative way, from leadership, organisational, and employees’ point of views. Moreover, leadership approaches such as situational and major behavioural patterns are discussed in order to have a broader understanding of the topic.

Uma característica de alguns conta-próprias e dos
empregadores com até cinco empregados brasileiros, é sua
baixa produtividade e lucratividade. Além disso, entre
estas pequenas empresas, existe uma grande diversidade de
níveis de lucro, algumas com patamares de lucro altos
quando comparadas às demais e outras com lucros
irrisórios. A maioria dos estudiosos associa esta baixa
produtividade das pequenas empresas brasileiras ao
mercado de crédito em que elas atuam. Segundo eles, as
imperfeições no mercado de crédito impedem que estas
pequenas produções consigam obter o volume de capital
necessário a execução dos projetos mais eficientes. Além
disso, como algumas empresas enfrentam restrições
creditícias mais severas que outras, elas podem ter
produtividade diferentes e consequentemente níveis de
lucro diferentes. Ao observar os dados fornecidos pelo IBGE
em 1997 sobre estas pequena produções percebe-se que de
fato elas operam em patamares de lucro diferentes,
algumas com lucros bem acima da média e outras com
lucros negativos, e utilizam volumes de capital muito
diferentes em seu processo produtivo. Este resultado é
estranho, uma vez que as pequenas empresas atuam nos mesmos
mercados, sendo tomadoras de preços e provavelmente usam a
mesma tecnologia, e portanto, segundo a teoria
microeconômica convencional, teriam que empregar o mesmo
volume de capital em seu processo produtivo e obter o
mesmo nível de lucro. Nesta dissertação, propõe uma
abordagem que relaciona o mercado de crédito a diversidade
de lucro entre as pequenas empresas brasileiras, sendo as
imperfeições credíticias um dos possíveis determinantes
para a lucratividade e produtividade destas empresas.The self-employees and the employers with no more than five employees in Brazil are well known for their low productivity and for their low profitability. These small firms have a great variety of profits level among of them, with some having profits above the mean and others with negative profits. In the majority of the studies, low profitability and low productivity are associated with the imperfections in credit market. The majority of this enterprises do not get the sufficient capital to invest in the most productive projects, because of the restrictions in credit market. When we work with the data for the small employers and self-employees in Brazil, we see that the profits level differs among these firms, and they put different amount of capital in their production. This result is not expected, because the small firms in Brazil participate in the same markets, and probably have the same technology. Thus according to the microeconomic theory, they should have the same profits level and should use the same amount of capital in their production. This paper try to infer if the credit constrains are the only factor that affects small enterprises profit in Brazil.

Altekin, Fatma Tevhide. "Profit Oriented Disassembly Line Balancing". Phd thesis, METU, 2005. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12605791/index.pdf.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In this study, we deal with the profit oriented partial disassembly line balancing problem which seeks a feasible assignment of selected disassembly tasks to stations such that the precedence relations among the tasks are satisfied and the profit is maximized. We consider two versions of this problem. In the profit maximization per cycle problem (PC), we maximize the profit for a single disassembly cycle given the task times and costs, part revenues and demands and station costs. We propose a heuristic solution approach for PC based on the liner programming relaxation of our mixed integer programming formulation. In the profit maximization over the planning horizon problem (PH), the planning horizon is divided into time zones each of which may have a different disassembly rate and a different line balance. We also incorporate other issues such as finite supply of discarded product, subassembly and released part inventories availability, and smoothing of the number of stations across the zones. PH is decomposed into a number of successive per cycle problems, which are solved by a similar heuristic approach. Computational analysis is conducted for both problems and results are reported.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2005."June 2005."
Includes bibliographical references.
This thesis is a collection of three empirical essays on the effect of profit incentives on innovation and technology adoption. Chapter 1, written with Daron Acemoglu, investigates the effect of (potential) market size on entry of new drugs and pharmaceutical innovation. Focusing on exogenous changes driven by U.S. demographic trends, we find a large effect of potential market size on the entry of non-generic drugs and new molecular entities. These effects are generally robust to controlling for a variety of supply-side factors and changes in the technology of pharmaceutical research. Chapter 2 investigates the effect of price-induced technology adoption on energy demand in U.S. manufacturing. I use plant data from the Census of Manufactures, 1967-1997, and identify technology adoption by comparing the energy efficiency of entrants and incumbents. I find a statistically significant effect of technological change, though the magnitude is small relative to changes in energy use due to factor substitution. The results suggest that technological change can reduce the long run effect of energy prices on growth, but by significantly less than previous research has suggested. Chapter 3 studies the response of the manufacturing sector to a carbon tax. I estimate long run price elasticities for fuels and electricity, exploiting the ability of entering plants to choose their technology in response to expected prices. A tax of $10 per metric ton of carbon would reduce emissions by 2 percent arid raise operating costs by 8 percent in the short run. Emissions would be 5 percent lower in the long run, and costs would be 5 percent higher.
(cont.) The tax would make plants more vulnerable to subsequent natural gas and distillate oil price shocks, and less sensitive to coal, residual and electricity shocks. Exit would increase by 0.2 percentage points.

Faced with a dynamically changing market, Boston Scientific's Cardiac Rhythm Management is seeking ways to increase its profitability. The division is experiencing a phenomenon where pulse generators and leads' product life cycle transitions may be slower than ideal. In addition, Boston Scientific is exploring ways to systematically and accurately assess its products' return on investments. The approach to the project is a technique called Profit Mapping. By carefully assessing the true full costs of each transaction, we can determine the actual profitability of each account and product and use the visualized results to detect anomalies, test hypotheses, and formulate action plans. The profit mapping tool allows us to compare profitability within each dimension of the business-individual product, account, sales person, territory, contract group, therapy system, or any combination of multiple dimensions. When we group data by accounts, we discover accounts that generate much higher profit than accounts that have higher revenue. Profit Map also shows some products or therapies traditionally believed to be unprofitable are actually high profit earners. Furthermore, time analysis of account profit maps revealed accounts whose revenue has been on the decline but profit on the rise thanks to transition in product mix. The delivery of the framework and its methodology concludes my internship but is only the beginning of Boston Scientific's journey to increase profitability. The Finance Department can now combine Profit Mapping data with the Sales Operations Department's experience and instincts to identify best practices that contribute towards higher revenue dollar efficiency, re-align sales incentives with company's profitability, and re-evaluate the opportunity cost of maintaining a marginal or net-loss account/product. In the long run, Profit Mapping can be scaled up to analyze world-wide data from all divisions to provide a clearer path to profitability.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Marketing has always been a key subject in commercial organisations, being an integral part of the business strategy and plans. In the non-profit sector, there is still a reticence towards the subject, often seen as either unnecessary or even a waste of the often very limited financial resources. As a reaction to that, this work discusses the importance and use of marketing in non-profit organisations and explores the issues around the subject with relation to the non-profit entities as well from a theoretical point of view as through case studies where the marketing efforts of a number of different non-profit organisations were analysed. The overall objective is to prove that also in non-profit organisations marketing should be an integral part of the overall business plan and is key to the overall success of the non-profit organisation.

Seidner, Blake. "The Balance Between Financial and Quality Performance in For-Profit Hospitals versus Non-Profit Hospitals". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1950.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Poggi, M. Nicolas. "AUGURES : profit-aware web infrastructure management". Doctoral thesis, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/144620.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Over the last decade, advances in technology together with the increasing use of the Internet for everyday tasks, are causing profound changes in end-users, as well as in businesses and technology providers. The widespread adoption of high-speed and ubiquitous Internet access, is also changing the way users interact with Web applications and their expectations in terms of Quality-of-Service (QoS) and User eXperience (UX). Recently, Cloud computing has been rapidly adopted to host and manage Web applications, due to its inherent cost effectiveness and on-demand scaling of infrastructures. However, system administrators still need to make manual decisions about the parameters that affect the business results of their applications ie., setting QoS targets and defining metrics for scaling the number of servers during the day. Therefore, understanding the workload and user behavior ¿the demand, poses new challenges for capacity planning and scalability ¿the supply, and ultimately for the success of a Web site.
This thesis contributes to the current state-of-art of Web infrastructure management by providing: i) a methodology for predicting Web session revenue; ii) a methodology to determine high response time effect on sales; and iii) a policy for profit-aware resource management, that relates server capacity, to QoS, and sales. The approach leverages Machine Learning (ML) techniques on custom, real-life datasets from an Ecommerce retailer featuring popular Web applications. Where the experimentation shows how user behavior and server performance models can be built from offline information, to determine how demand and supply relations work as resources are consumed. Producing in this way, economical metrics that are consumed by profit-aware policies, that allow the self-configuration of cloud infrastructures to an optimal number of servers under a variety of conditions. While at the same time, the thesis, provides several insights applicable for improving Autonomic infrastructure management and the profitability of Ecommerce applications.Durante la última década, avances en tecnología junto al incremento de uso de Internet, están causando cambios en los usuarios finales, así como también a las empresas y proveedores de tecnología. La adopción masiva del acceso ubicuo a Internet de alta velocidad, crea cambios en la forma de interacción con las aplicaciones Web y en las expectativas de los usuarios en relación de calidad de servicio (QoS) y experiencia de usuario (UX) ofrecidas. Recientemente, el modelo de computación Cloud ha sido adoptado rápidamente para albergar y gestionar aplicaciones Web, debido a su inherente efectividad en costos y servidores bajo demanda. Sin embargo, los administradores de sistema aún tienen que tomar decisiones manuales con respecto a los parámetros de ejecución que afectan a los resultados de negocio p.ej. definir objetivos de QoS y métricas para escalar en número de servidores. Por estos motivos, entender la carga y el comportamiento de usuario (la demanda), pone nuevos desafíos a la planificación de capacidad y escalabilidad (el suministro), y finalmente el éxito de un sitio Web.Esta tesis contribuye al estado del arte actual en gestión de infraestructuras Web presentado: i) una metodología para predecir los beneficios de una sesión Web; ii) una metodología para determinar el efecto de tiempos de respuesta altos en las ventas; y iii) una política para la gestión de recursos basada en beneficios, al relacionar la capacidad de los servidores, QoS, y ventas. La propuesta se basa en aplicar técnicas Machine Learning (ML) a fuentes de datos de producción de un proveedor de Ecommerce, que ofrece aplicaciones Web populares. Donde los experimentos realizados muestran cómo modelos de comportamiento de usuario y de rendimiento de servidor pueden obtenerse de datos históricos; con el fin de determinar la relación entre la demanda y el suministro, según se utilizan los recursos. Produciendo así, métricas económicas que son luego aplicadas en políticas basadas en beneficios, para permitir la auto-configuración de infraestructuras Cloud a un número adecuado de servidores. Mientras que al mismo tiempo, la tesis provee información relevante para mejorar la gestión de infraestructuras Web de forma autónoma y aumentar los beneficios en aplicaciones de Ecommerce.

The author of this paper seeks to explore what strategies are available for a multinational organization to manage knowledge, and to what extent a non-profit organization (NPO) have applied the same tools for managing knowledge within the organization as a multinational corporation (MNC). Through studying how knowledge flows within a MNC (Nonaka et al., 1995; Polanyi, 1966; Dani, 2006; DeNisi et al., 2003; Szulanski, 1996) and then analyzing the strategies for handling these flows the thesis will have presented a picture of Knowledge Management (KM), the processes for dealing with learning in the organization, which can then be compared to how KM works in a NPO – the World Bank. Through this comparison, this case study shows that all strategies employed by the World Bank are also used in MNCs, giving us the indication that NPOs can adapt KM strategies from MNCs and face many of the same challenges as an MNC does.

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.Arts, Faculty of

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.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Route charges are fees that airlines pay in order to utilize the Air Navigation Services (ANS) of a European state. The fee is based on three values; the weight of the aircraft, the length of the flight, and the state’s specific unit rate. The unit rate of each state is in turn based on the forecasted costs of providing ANS for that state and the amount of traffic forecasted for the year to come. This makes for different unit rates for different states, which leads to different costs for flying different routes in the European airspace. A state having costs that are increasing faster than the amount of traffic is increasing will lead to a higher unit rate. A higher unit rate may lead to airlines avoiding the state’s airspace due to higher costs, thus accounting for even less traffic and an increase in unit rate. This thesis examines the relationship between unit rate and amount of traffic, and specifically tries to find out how much the unit rate affects the traffic count. This has been done by reading previous papers on the subject, and creating a model to easily present facts found. The result of the thesis suggests that states actually profits more by increasing the unit rate rather than actively trying to reduce it. This contradicts the idea of lowering prices always being a good thing. There is a limit to how much the unit rate can be increases however, at which all traffic will choose to circumnavigate the airspace. Finding a good balance between traffic lost and unit rate increased is suggested as the best way to go.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.

Construction equipment is a high cost of capital investment necessary for the successful existence of a private construction company and essential to the mission success of the Naval Construction Force (NCF). The highest impact cost factor other than the initial purchase investment is the expenses related to maintenance and repair. As the equipment ages, the ownership costs decrease and the operating expenses increase as the maintenance and repairs requirements grow. Both private and public entities desire to manage this high dollar investment for optimization of a perceived profit. This project recommends a decision support model that can be used by private and public entities alike to determine the best fit acquisition method between rent-lease-buy and guidance for profitability optimization. Methods of life cycle cost estimating and decision methods were researched and compared. Data was acquired from equipment rental companies, private construction companies and the NCF. This data was analyzed to select the appropriate decision factors and develop the Construction Equipment Profitability Optimization Model (CEPOM). This model can be implemented by small private construction companies with minimal overhead and a small charging base, and a public entity such as the NCF.

The dynamic mental health landscape has placed undue strain on hospitals, providers, and the community at large, resulting in gross inequities in access to care for underserved populations. This business plan proposes the establishment of a Los Angeles area non-profit community mental health clinic, embedded with a mission to accept adult patients suffering from co-occurring mental health and chronic medical conditions, regardless of insurance status and ability to pay. Under the Patient Centered Medical Home model, the aim of the Clinic will be to treat patients holistically by incorporating an interdisciplinary team of clinicians to ensure optimal health outcomes. While this plan acknowledges the challenges in serving indigent populations, the Clinic will contract with Medi-Cal and commit to continuous fundraising efforts to remain financially sustainable in order to improve the health of vulnerable Angelenos.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In trying to explain the drivers of global profit shifting by MNEs we investigate
industry-specific variation in profit shifting and identify determinants thereof. Using
the ORBIS database we show that intangible asset endowment of subsidiaries and the
complexity of MNE groups explain aggregate profit shifting trends and tend to drive
industry specific results. We find that subsidiaries with a high intangible to total
asset ratio have a semi-elasticity of 1.2 compared to 0.78 for low intangible affiliates,
suggesting a significantly larger sensitivity to CIT rate changes. Similarly, subsidiaries
belonging to more complex MNE groups have a higher semi-elasticity (1.11) than those
that are part of less complex entities (0.81). Moreover, we incorporate country-specific
transfer pricing mitigation measures (documentation requirements) into our analysis.
We find significant non-linear mitigation effects, which vary depending on the intangible
endowment of subsidiaries and complexity of MNE groups. On average, the estimated
profit shifting among MNE subsidiaries in our sample is reduced by 60 percent four
years after the introduction of mandatory documentation requirements. The findings of
our research provide initial insights on the relative profit-shifting risk associated with
different sectors of MNE activities which may support the design of anti-avoidance
approaches and the allocation of scarce analytical and enforcement resources. (authors' abstract)Series: WU International Taxation Research Paper Series

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Nuclear Waste Fund constitutes a financial system that finances future costs of the management of spent nuclear fuel as well as decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The fund invests its capital under strict rules which are stipulated in the investment policy established by the board. The policy stipulates that the fund can only invest according to certain allocation limits, and restricts it to invest solely in nominal and inflation-linked bonds issued by the Swedish state as well as treasury securities. A norm portfolio is built to compare the performance of the NWF’s investments. On average, the NWF has outperformed the norm portfolio on recent years, but it may not always have been optimal. Recent studies suggest that allocation limits should be revised over time as the return and risk parameters may change over time. This study focused on simulating three different portfolios where the allocation limits and investment options were extended to see if these extensions would outperform the norm portfolio while maintaining a set risk limit. Portfolio A consisted of OMRX REAL and OMRX TBOND indexes, Portfolio B consisted of OMRX REAL, OMRX TBOND and S&P Sweden 1+ Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond Indexes, and Portfolio C consisted of OMXR REAL, OMRX TBOND and OMXSPI indexes. The return of each portfolio for different weight distributions of the assets were simulated in MATLAB, and polynomial regression models were built in order to optimize the return as a function of the assets’ weights using a Lagrange Multiplier approach for each portfolio. The results depicted that the maximal returns of Portfolios A, B and C were 4.00%, 4.13% and 7.93% respectively, outperforming the norm portfolio’s average return of 3.69% over the time period 2009-2016.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2011.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-105).
My thesis consists of three essays investigating the existence, causes, and mitigation of profit cycles at an industry level. The first essay examines profit cycles by proposing that the industry-specific features of how competition acts on a firm are important determinants of how mean reversion manifests in firm earnings. The evidence suggests that because competition has inertia, caused by the time to build productive capacity specific to each industry, earnings do not smoothly revert to the mean, but instead cycle around it. Since these findings affect research that uses expected earnings models, lags of capital expenditure are used as a proxy for competition in a regression model of firm earnings and are shown to be significant determinants of the earnings reported. The second essay seeks to explain why aggregate airline industry profits have displayed cyclicality since deregulation in 1978. In order to better understand the causes of these profit cycles, I build a large-scale model of the airline industry that includes more endogenous feedbacks than previous models, as well as formulations for several strategies that have been employed by airlines to mitigate the cycles. While I find that, consistent with earlier research, the delay in acquiring capacity is an important determinant of the behavior of airline profits, I also show that multiple negative feedback loops are involved in the intensity and periodicity of the profit cycle in the airline industry. Specifically, analysis of my model suggests that the growing reliance on yield management as a tool for determining ticket prices has exacerbated the volatility of airline industry profits. The third essay focuses on the insurance industry, where the delay in building productive capacity is short. I build and analyze a parsimonious model of the property-casualty insurance industry, and show results which suggest that delays in adjusting the characteristics of underwritten insurance policies are responsible for the oscillatory behavior. Simulations where the industry increases both the target level of capital reserves, and the attention paid to the adequacy of that level, show significantly reduced profit variance.

Un recours subrogatoire superieur au prix paye pour obtenir la subrogation renferme une menace pour les autres creanciers du debiteur, car leur collocation peut alors s'averer pire que raisonnablement previsible. Autrement dit, la limitation du montant de ce recours ne s'explique pas par la bienfaisance, par le montant modique des recours personnels, ou par une hostilite arbitraire contre la realisation d'un profit par le subroge. Partant, en l'absence de risque pour ces tiers, le recours subrogatoire depassera valablement le prix paye. Par exemple, lorsque le creancier subrogeant s'est contente de moins que son du. Ou bien, lorsque les accessoires et autres facilites de recouvrement de la creance se revelent lucratifs : clause penale, astreinte, etc. En fin de compte, la subrogation, surtout celle consentie par le creancier, deviendra un outil incomparable de transmission des creances. Puisque, deja, elle offre opposabilite immediate du transfert, inopposabilite des exceptions posterieures, neutralite de la clause de reserve de propriete, et possibilite de transporter obligations civiles, commerciales ou mixtesA recourse deriving from subrogation higher than the price paid for obtaining a credit in subrogation holds a threat for the other creditors of the debtor. Because their rank on the list of creditors could then turn up worse than logically forseeable. In other words, the amount's limitation of the recourse doesn't make itself clear by the benevolence, by the modest amount of 'personal recourses', or by an arbitrary hostility towards the realization of a benefit by the new creditor. So, in the absence of risks for these third parties, the recourse will exceed lawfully the price paid. For example, when the former creditor has agreed to less than his due. Or else, when the attachments and the facilities of credit collection prove to be lucrative : escalator clause, compel, and so on. Finally, subrogation, espacially, that consented by the creditor will become an incomparable tool of credits' handing down. Because, as it is, it offers immediate validity of conveyance, impossility to refuse to pay relatively to the former creditor, neutraly of 'property's reserve clause' and possibility of carrying away civil, commercial or mixed obligations

Managers in organizations make investment decisions all the time. These decisions have an impact on the bottom-line profits and on the market penetration of the organization. Some decisions have more impact than others do and not all such decisions are evaluated for their impact. The Service-Profit Chain (SPC) framework brings together several components like operational attributes, customer perceptions, customer behavioral intentions and customer loyalty to evaluate the service operation. This research augments the SPC with another component â uncontrollable factors (environmental variables and competition) that are exogenous to the operation but definitely have an effect on the service delivery process. Further, this research develops a dynamic model to evaluate investments made in operational attributes (e.g. number of tellers in a bank, number of airline flight options to a particular city available to customers) and determine the behavior of customer perceptions, customer intentions, customer loyalty, profit, market penetration and marginal rate of return over time.
The above is accomplished by incorporating a hill-climbing algorithm into the dynamic SPC model. This hill-climbing algorithm senses the current state of the system and compares it to a certain goal to determine the discrepancies and make additional interventions. The objective is to determine an optimal path to steady state and to evaluate if certain goals are realistic. Next, the Service Sustainability Chain is developed to be applicable to training services. This is accomplished by building key relationships specific to training services into separate modules. The Dynamic SPC module is based on the SPC framework. The Customer Base Growth module captures the structure for referrals and how this enables the growth of the customer base mimicking the infectious model for epidemic diseases in the literature.
A methodology based on Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) developed to explore, uncover and identify relationships and mathematical equations is used to determine the structural input-output representation of the SPC. Next, the model and the methodology developed are applied to a case study in a training services organization, simulated and validated.Ph. D.

Denna studie undersöker vilka strategier fyra organisationer från den ideella sektorn använder sig av för att hantera sitt samarbete med staten. Studien tar sitt avstamp i Staffan Johanssons teori om hur påtvingar ideell sektorn ett homogeniseringstryck. Genom att undersöka olika egenskaper hos den ideella sektorn, såsom ideologi, ekonomiska förutsättningar och möjligheten att vara me och påverka undersöks hur organisationerna uppfattar sin roll i samarbetet. Studien visar att ideologin och de ekonomiska förutsättningarna spelar avgörande roll för hur organisationerna kan strukturera både sig själva som organisation liksom deras arbete. I relationen till staten framstår det som viktigt att resursberoendet inte är allt för ensidigt för att organisationerna skall kunna hålla på sin särart och styra sin organisation i en självvald riktning.This study examines the strategies four organizations from the voluntary sector uses to manage its cooperation with the State. The study takes its starting point in Staffan Johansson's theory of how imposing a non-profit sector with a homogenization pressure. By investigating various characteristics of the voluntary sector, such as ideology, economic conditions and the possibility of criticism, explores how organizations perceive their role in co-operation. The study shows that ideology and the economic environment plays key role in how organizations can structure themselves both as a organization and their work. In relation to the state, it seems important that resource dependence is not too one-sided for organizations to retain its character, ideology and control over their activities.

Lean together with Toyota shocked the world when it came out. It turned a devastated company into the top car manufacturer. Ever since, the concept of lean has been implemented in companies outside of Toyota, industries outside of the car manufacturing industry and even in the public sector. The non-profit sector suffers problems of inexperienced leaders and economic problems according to theory which is hoped to be solved using lean. It has yet to be properly been introduced into non-profit organizations which this study aims to do. Previous research regarding an implementation of lean in an NPO is almost non-existing. Few instances where specific problems were solved using lean exist but nothing more. Implementing lean as it currently is does not fit well with the nature of non-profit organizations. Therefore, lean must be translated. To make up for a lack of previous research, the study collected qualitative data in the form of semi-structured interviews of eleven people within NPOs. Information regarding lean was gathered through a literature review. The study discovered that the problem regarding uneducated leaders was existent in most interviewed organizations while the economic problems wasn’t equally apparent. NPOs struggled with wastes due to lack of standardization since unpaid employees mostly help out during their spare time and leaders did not feel they could implement standardization and demands upon them. This and other conclusions constitute the answer to the research question with hopes to be a stepping stone to future research. Further research should focus on how to implement standardization while motivating unpaid employees.

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.

2013 - 2014L’inadeguatezza dell’apparato dello Stato a fornire un compiuto riscontro alle esigenze e ai bisogni di tutte le fasce della popolazione, ha negli anni sollecitato l’iniziativa privata da parte dei cittadini tesa a porre rimedio alle lacune dell’apparato statuale. L’iniziativa privata ha dato vita ad una vasta e multiforme realtà composta da una serie di organizzazioni, caratterizzate da finalità solidaristiche e assistenzialistiche, integrative e per certi versi sostitutive all’agire dello Stato, e costituenti il c.d. terzo settore, una sorta di stato parallelo strutturato per soddisfare i bisogni delle classi meno abbienti. Nell’ultimo trentennio con l’avvento del c.d. stato sociale, teso a garantire un minino di sostegno a tutte le fasce delle popolazione, a prescindere dalla loro condizione economica, il terzo settore ha conosciuto un notevole sviluppo caratterizzato dal proliferare delle organizzazioni che lo compongono, i c.d. enti non profit. Per ente non profit si è soliti qualificare quelle organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro che hanno il fine esclusivo di soddisfare i bisogni sia dei propri membri che dei terzi. Tali organizzazioni sono deputate al perseguimento di un fine altruistico, ma ciò non esclude che gli enti non profit possano anche svolgere attività diretta alla produzione di utili (lucro oggettivo), che non è possibile distribuire nei confronti dei componenti della compagine istituzionale (lucro soggettivo), bensì vi è l’obbligo statutario di reimpiegarli per realizzare le finalità sociali. Lo svolgimento di attività commerciale è di vitale importanza per un ente non profit, in quanto solo in questo modo potrà dotarsi delle giuste risorse per poter realizzare al meglio i fini solidaristici e sociali per il perseguimento dei quali l’ente stesso è stato predisposto. A causa dell’assenza di una disciplina organica ed uniforme, il settore del non profit si presenta capace di accogliere al suo interno una varietà di istituzioni, ciascuna con proprie peculiarità e anche molto diverse tra loro, caratterizzate dal minimo comune denominatore del perseguimento di attività solidaristica e del divieto di distribuzione degli utili. Il presente lavoro dopo aver analizzato l’evoluzione della disciplina del settore non profit e del fallimento, va ad indagare sulla possibilità per un ente non profit di esercitare attività commerciale e sulla successiva ed eventuale sottoposizione a fallimento, specie per ciò che concerne il regime dell’estensione della procedura concorsuale nei confronti dei membri dell’ente. Infine, particolare attenzione è stata riservata all’istituto dell’impresa sociale, predisposto dal legislatore nel 2006 e rappresentante la possibilità sia per un ente originariamente lucrativo di perseguire finalità a carattere sociale, sia per un ente non profit di strutturarsi in forma d’impresa per perseguire finalità solidaristiche. In questo caso, il legislatore, ha predisposto per la regolamentazione di eventuali patologie derivanti dall’attività d’impresa, la procedura di liquidazione coatta amministrativa piuttosto che il fallimento, a testimonianza della volontà dello stesso di salvaguardare le iniziative a rilevanza sociale, in quanto al termine della procedura concorsuale, laddove ci sia un patrimonio residuo, lo stesso verrà reimpiegato per il soddisfacimento di altre istanze sociali.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.Law, Peter A. Allard School of

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
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.
