摘要:Prior research on whether to include allocated capacity cost in pricing is still inconclusive, because economic theory considers this cost to be sunk cost and accounting research suggests that it can proxy for the opportunity cost of capacity usage. This study examines how expected capacity utilization and demand variability affect the association between allocated capacity costs and prices. Empirical analysis of 7,746 service observations from private hospitals in California indicates that hi...

The case analysis reveals the fragile nature of efforts to innovate with sustainability assurance and render su...

摘要:Recent concerns about executive actions and pay have shone a bright light on corporate governance practices and the role of boards in compensation design. In this vein, conventional wisdom vilifies boards with ties to executives and/or comprising insiders, citing them for rubber stamping executive pet projects and approving lavish pay. In this paper, we model the relationship between board dependence, pay, and project adoption and demonstrate that the connections among the three can be more su...
