The Meaning of Size: Output? Scope? Capacity? The Case of Airline Hubs

The size of a production facility has different specific meanings depending on the nature of the business decision at issue. We present a general theoretical model illustrating the profit-maximizing firm's interrelated choice of plant size in long-run, medium-run and short-run contexts. The model is then estimated for U.S. airline hubs. The results suggest that competition operates primarily via the capacity (long-run) size decision. A game-theoretic simulation based upon the results is consistent with the argument that the smaller of two hubs sharing an airport is at a significant competitive disadvantage.     

The co-responsibility levy — a misnomer?

The co-responsibility levy, recently adopted by the European Community, is a policy response designed to control the cost of the cereal surplus. The levy seeks to regain from farmers some of the price they receive for their cereals. This article, written before the adoption of the levy, argues that it is just as likely to raise revenue from consumers as from farmers. Other policy options are looked at which seek to reduce the actual size of the surplus and thus the associated costs.

The Impact of an increasing share of RES-E on the Conventional Power Market — The Example of Germany

The intermittency of wind power has a decreasing effect on day-ahead spot prices. Data from Germany illustrate this effect and explain the underlying relationships. This short-term price effect leads to an adaptation process in the conventional generation capacity mix. In the long-run, a higher peak load plant share is required to cope with the increasing volatility of the residual demand. The result is an adapted merit-order. This merit-order intersects with an increasingly volatile residual demand curve and leads to a higher price volatility in the power market, which is going to trigger further adaptations. Therefore this article concludes with a list of open research questions, which can be derived from the illustrated relationship. These research questions should be investigated as soon as possible in order to induce the required adaptations in time.

“Excellent” systems analysis: The Singapore context

Within the broad context of Singapore's IT2000 Project, an exploratory research project was conducted as part of an on-going program to identify the perceptions of what constitutes the qualities of an excellent systems analyst. A grounded theory approach (theory building) was adopted using Kelly's RepGrid technique to conduct interviews with stakeholders in the systems analyst's performance in a large organization based in Singapore. In reviewing the constructs which emerged from the stakeholder interviews, 12 universal Themes were identified, such as Attitude, Knowledge, Communicate, including a number of sub-Themes. Each stakeholder group had its own interpretation of the relative importance of each Theme. These results have implications for the selection, training and development of systems analysts. Suggestions are made for further research to compare the cross-cultural perceptions of excellent systems analysts, as well as the testing of specific hypotheses derived from the results of this research project.Dr M.
