University of Hartford GEORGE A. JOHNSON University of Connecticut The history of the recent decline of production and operations management (POM) in academic importance is traced. POM's fundamental importance as a functional area is argued on the basis of four criteria: (1) centrality in organizations; (2) share of organizational resources; (3) pervasiveness in industrial society; and (4) significance in social change. AACSB has tried unsuccessfully for several years to prepare and adopt a more explicit

Companies today are combining in record numbers. Executives pursue mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures as a means to create value by (1) acquiring technologies, products, and market access, (2) creating economies of scale, and (3) establishing global brand presence. There is an underlying belief that most markets can provide revenues to three large suppliers; when more than three exist the urge to merge is irresistible. That said, the business world seems littered with integrated companies

Project in Math Chapter 6 Circular Functions and Trigonometry Submitted to: Mrs. Velasco Submitted by: Angelo Jet Manarin IV – Bravo Angles & Their Measures A definition of an angle would be that an angle is the union of two rays that have the same endpoint. The sides of the angles are the two rays, while the vertex is their common endpoint. stands for an angle. You can put it in front of three letters which represent points. The first and third letters represent points on each of the rays

According to one way of speaking, that out of which as a constituent a thing comes to be is called a cause; for example, the bronze and the silver and their genera would be the causes respectively of a statue and a loving0cup According to another the form or model is a cuse; this is the account of what the being would be, and its genera – thus the cuase of an octave is the ratio of two to one, and more generally number – and the parts which come into the account. Again, there is the primary source

vector with the same index as used in all variants of DE. A DE variant obtained by integrating the proposed mutation, crossover, and parameter adaptation strategies with the classical DE framework (developed in 1995) is compared with two classical and four state-of-the-art adaptive DE variants over 25 standard numerical benchmarks taken from the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2005 competition and special session on real parameter optimization. Our comparative

University Frankfurt Abstract We compare the performance of equal-, value-, and price-weighted portfolios of stocks in the major U.S. equity indices over the last four decades. We find that the equal-weighted portfolio with monthly rebalancing outperforms the value- and price-weighted portfolios in terms of total mean return, four factor alpha, Sharpe ratio, and certainty-equivalent return, even though the equal-weighted portfolio has greater portfolio risk. The total return of the equal-weighted

Analytic functions Introduction I was interested in doing my Internal assessment in functions particularly in analytic functions as I was much fascinated with topic (functions)during the study of mathematics during the course. The theory part that includes Taylor series as well as its coverage on complex functionality. In this exploration I surveyed on the theorems associated with analytic functions as well as its functions. This has helped me widen my knowledge and mathematical skills on complex

Trigonometric Functions Mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself. Since antiquity, mathematics has been a fundamental to the advances in science, engineering, and philosophy. It has evolved from simple counting, measurement and calculations, and shapes through the application of abstraction, logic, and complex trigonometric functions. Trigonometric functions are the functions of angles. They relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. These functions are important
