Book excerpt: This book introduces the step-by-step processes involved in using MCDM methods, starting from problem formulation, model development, and criteria weighting to the final ranking of the alternatives. The authors explain the different MCDM methods that can be used in specific manufacturing environments. The book explains the conceptual frameworks of how these methods are applied with special focus on their applicability and usefulness. The authors begin with an introduction to multi-criteria decision-making, followed by explanations of 29 MCDM methods and their applications. The final sections of the book describe helpful normalization techniques and criteria weight measurement techniques. The collection of diverse range of manufacturing applications and case studies presented here will aid readers in applying cutting-edge MCDM methods to their own manufacturing projects. As both a research and teaching tool, this book encourages critical and logical thinking when applying MCDM methods for solving complex manufacturing decision-making problems.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers, owners and other stakeholders are interested in the performance of a firm, but pure financial results are insufficient to draw conclusions from as this neglects changes in the economic conditions. Therefore, these stakeholders often resort to comparing the performance of the firm in question with its peers who are subjected to the same set of exogenous circumstances. This thesis aims at shedding light on firstly which similarity criteria among companies are most apt at producing a meaningful comparison group and secondly how to remove non-operating distortions in financial statements in order to arrive at more relevant benchmark figures. Answers were sought by means of literature research, predominately in highly ranked academic journals. Findings outline that besides the two common similarity criteria (1) akin size and (2) same industry, there are further criteria increasing likeness. These are comparability in (3) business model, (4) company life cycle phase, (5) complexity, (6) cost of capital and (7) growth potential. Further, it could be shown that benchmarking is more meaningful if financial statements are modified to (1) represent the same financial year, (2) non-operating and one-time expenses as well as revenues are excluded, (3) intangible assets are made comparable in value and any (5) off-balance sheet items (OBS) are capitalised. Optional further measures to raise likeness are also indicated. In a first section the thesis is introduced while thereafter quality factors for the construction of a good peer group and distortions in financial statement comparison are identified by literature review. Following, the elaborated insights are applied, resulting in a systematic process to firstly filter the right peers and secondly to increase the respective financial statement's comparability. This process is in parallel supported by a real example before concluding the work.

Download or read book Managerial Uses of Accounting Information written by Joel Demski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-12-31 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invitation to study managerial uses of accounting infonnation. Three themes run throughout. First, the accounting system is profitably thought of as a library of financial statistics. Answers to a variety of questions are unlikely to be found in prefabricated fonnat, but valuable infonnation awaits those equipped to in the accounting library is most interrogate the library. Second, the infonnation unlikely to be the only infonnation at the manger's disposal. So knowing how to combine accounting and nonaccounting bits of infonnation is an important, indeed indispensable, managerial skill. Finally, the role of a professional manager is emphasized. This is an individual with skill, talent, and imagination, an individual who brings professional quality skills to the ta sk of managing. This book also makes demands on the reader. It assumes the reader has had prior exposure to financial accounting, economics, statistics, and the economics of uncertainty (in the fonn of risk aversion and decision trees). A modest acquaintance with strategic, or equilibrium, modeling is also presumed, as is patience with abstract notation. The hook does not make deep mathematical demands on the reader. An acquaintance with linearprogramming and the ability to take a simple derivative are presumed. The major prerequisite is a tolerance for (if not a predisposition toward) abstract notation. This st yle and list of prerequisites are not matters of taste or author imposition.

Download or read book Optimal Dynamic Relative Performance Evaluation written by Thomas Hemmer and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theoretical prediction of a negative coefficient on positively correlated peer performance underlies much of the empirical literature on relative performance evaluation. This prediction is commonly obtained from the special case of a single period setting where the variance-covariance matrix of the available performance measures is exogenously restricted to be independent of the evaluee's action. Using the dynamic approach of Holmström and Milgrom (1987), I study the properties of contracts that optimally condition an agent's compensation both on his own performance and on how well he fares relative to a peer (group) when these restrictions are not imposed. I show that if the covariance is non-zero, the optimal contract is linear in own and peer performance as well as the correlation between own and peer performance. In contrast, and in line with the preponderance of the empirical evidence, in its simplest form the model predicts that the expected coefficient on peer performance is exactly zero.
Download or read book Evaluation and Performance Measurement of Research and Development written by Vittorio Chiesa and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops and illustrates a comprehensive, multi-level framework for the evaluation of industrial research and development (R&D) activities and the measurement of their performance. The framework encompasses a set of hierarchical, interrelated levels at which R&D evaluation and performance measurement could be undertaken. This enlightening book focuses on the single industrial firm to study performance measurement of R&D functions, projects and individual researchers or engineers. It also addresses R&D evaluation from the point of view of financial markets, with a focus on the relationship between R&D investments and the value of the traded firm. The book broadens tin scope to study the role of technology platforms as R&D coordination mechanisms and also looks at the evaluation of R&D policies. This book will be warmly welcomed by researchers and postgraduate students in disciplines concerned with innovation management, technology policy, and finance who wish to gain an updated overview of R&D evaluation and performance measurement as well as exploring different units of analysis.
