摘要:We present a model of research joint ventures in which if firms have highly complementary skills and resources then they prefer to cooperate in areas where the technology is highly appropriable, as in applied research. The model also indicates that large firms have a greater incentive to cooperate because they are better positioned to capture the benefits of a research venture. These findings seem to explain why cooperative research among rival firms in Japan has been applied rather than basic...

摘要:Bootstrapping a very versatile statistical technique, significantly amplifies the understanding and success of empirical applications of stochastic dominance. Its ability to calculate the standard deviations of order statistics reveals the uncertainty of the critical estimates of the tails of cumulative density functions. Understanding this uncertainty reveals why a wide variety of tail shapes all cause a notable loss in power for stochastic dominance tests. Simulations show that the smoothing...

摘要:In general the problem is that the computed mean-variance relationship for a period of time cannot be identified in distinction to the effects of shifts in the relationship over time-without additional information or assumptions. Thus, using a mean-variance approach to risk-return relationships means that statements about the nature of the mean-variance association cannot be confirmed in a nontrival fashion within the empirical system nor generalized to any other time period-including subperio...

摘要:While the quality literature abounds with prescriptions for how quality should be managed, no one has proposed an organization-theory explanation for how quality is managed in organizations. This paper proposes a system-structural model of quality management that relates organizational quality context, actual quality management, ideal quality management, and quality performance. The relationships between organizational quality context and actual and ideal quality management are investigated us...
