Insights from contemporary psychology can illuminate the common psychological processes that facilitate unethical decision making. I will illustrate several of these processes and describe steps that may be taken to reduce or eliminate the undesirable consequences of these processes. A generic problem with these processes is that they are totally invisible to decision makers – i.e., decision makers are convinced that their decisions are ethically and managerially sound. 相似文献

This paper analyzes in a spatial framework how much information a seller discloses about the variety he sells when he faces a buyer with a privately known taste for variety. I identify an equilibrium in which, for each possible variety, the seller's optimal strategy consists of either fully disclosing the variety or disclosing how far it is from the buyer's expected taste. The set of varieties the seller fully discloses monotonically expands as the buyer's taste for variety becomes stronger. I show that this is the unique undefeated equilibrium. From a policy perspective, mandating full disclosure is socially harmful. 相似文献

Drawing from both the spatial price equilibrium theoretical framework and the empirical literature on spatial interaction modeling, this paper expands models of interregional commodity flows (CFs) by incorporating new variables and using a flexible Box-Cox functional form. The 1993 US commodity flows survey provides the empirical basis for estimating state-to-state flow models for 16 commodity groups over the 48 continental US states. The optimized Box-Cox specification proves to be superior to the multiplicative one in all cases, while selected variables provide new insights into the determinants of state-to-state CFs. 相似文献

Systems providing identical service to many population centers frequently face the issue of where to locate the next retail outlet, branch, store, etc. In such systems the demand for the facilities' service depends mainly on the distance between facilities and customers. It is assumed that there are already m facilities located on a network to respond to the demand at the nodes. The paper addresses the problems of finding a location on the network for the (m +1 )st facility corresponding to a given total expected demand and of determining which demand points will be served by which facility. Also the range of the total expected demand values that can be realized along each link in the m +1 facility system is determined. Examples and a discussion of the results are provided. 相似文献

The operational competitiveness of a production unit (PU) where resources are transformed into outputs of goods and services is a very important component of its overall competitiveness. A PU's operations are comprised of a number of purposeful activities that consume resources and generate rewards. The efficiency with which these activities are carried out determines the PU's operational competitiveness. A reliable rating system is prerequisite in order to control and improve operational competitiveness. In the present paper we adopt a multi-activity view of the concept of operational competitiveness and develop a procedure to calculate ratings to help gauge the relative operational competitiveness of a set of PUs. The procedure is based on a nonparametric model but its implementation involves simple ratio-type computations. The principal criteria for the procedure and the ratings resulting from its application are intuitive appeal, transparency, ease of computation, robustness and ability to reflect the prevailing managerial perspectives and competitive priorities. We demonstrate the application of the procedure to gauge the relative operational competitiveness of a major chartered bank's branch personnel. 相似文献

This paper attempts to clarify the meaning of the term ‚professional’ in its current use in our daily lives, mainly by making
use of Weber’s discussion of the Protestant work ethic and rationalization. Identifying professionalism primarily as a particular
lifestyle, it questions whether professionalism is a virtue to be encouraged or an alienated way of life. Rather than conclusively
answering this question in the affirmative or negative, it contends that professionalism is an evolving concept, and endeavors
to capture and formulate a favorable understanding of it which would foster less alienating and more fulfilling ways of doing
business. It concludes by observing structural similarities between alternative managerial approaches and different conceptualizations
of professionalism.

The noteworthy effects of demographic factors on economic development have been well documented. However, the empirical formulation grounds heavily on theoretical framework. Moreover, there is no set agreement on the relationship between population growth and per capita income. This paper retraces the famous pastime relationship for a sample of thirty-two countries classified as developing and developed over the period of 1970-2007. The methodology includes panel unit root tests and panel cointegration analysis. The main conclusion of the study is that population growth is an indicator of per capita income. The empirical findings display the existence of cointegration for both country groups. Moreover, the results support a significantly positive effect for developed countries; whereas a significantly negative effect for developing countries. 相似文献

Conventional calibration algorithms of trip distribution models assume that the analyst has a whole base year trip matrix. To attain a whole trip matrix, the sample size for travel surveys needed to be as large as possible. However, this could be very expensive especially in large cities. Some studies in the past showed a small sized sample would be enough to estimate functional parameters of observed trip length frequency distribution. But the performance of a gravity model with small sized samples has never been addressed. This empirical study has shown that sample sizes as small as 1000 (even smaller for quick response studies) could be as dependable as large sample surveys using a line search calibration algorithm. 相似文献

We study an incomplete information game in which players can coordinate their actions by contracting among themselves. We model this relationship as a reciprocal contracting procedure where each player has the ability to make commitments contingent on the other players' commitments. We differ from the rest of the literature on reciprocal contracting by assuming that punishments cannot be enforced in the event that cooperation breaks down. We fully characterize the outcomes that can be supported as perfect Bayesian equilibrium outcomes in such an environment. We use our characterization to show that the set of supportable outcomes with reciprocal contracting is larger than the set of outcomes available in a centralized mechanism design environment in which the mechanism designer is constrained by his inability to enforce punishments against non‐participants. The difference stems from the players' ability in our contracting game to convey partial information about their types at the time they offer contracts. We discuss the implications of our analysis for modelling collusion between multiple agents interacting with the same principal. 相似文献

Increased and active involvement of multinational corporations in the promotion of social welfare, in developing countries
in particular, through the facilitation of partnerships and cooperation with public and nonprofit sectors, challenges the
existing framework of our social and political institutions, the boundaries of nation-states, the distinction between the
private and public spheres of our lives, and thus our freedom. The blurring of certain distinctions, which ought to be observed
between the political and the economic is most manifest in the gradual saturation of the field of business ethics with rights-based
arguments and analyses. In this article, I first argue against endorsing positive rights as having the same status as negative
rights, and then try to demonstrate that, with the transportation of ‹rights talk’ into business ethics, the dangers of conflating
positive and negative rights are superimposed on the dangers of conflating the private and the political. I conclude by presenting
my own stance on the debate on what our basic institutionally sanctioned rights should be, and what the corresponding duties
of multinational corporations really are. 相似文献
