The productivity Measurement has come a long way since the early attempts to define it as ration of outputs to inputs. Several complex factors have nevertheless continued to confound attempts to evolve sound measures of productivity. Nature of operations, types of outputs, quality and other...

The manpower planning models available in literature have dealt with how changes takes place in a manpower planning system, under various operating and policy constraints. However none of these models have identified the manpower system costs. In this paper we have identified various manpower...

Data Analysis techniques must be appropriate to the purpose of the analysis. Policy analysis, in particular, requires analytic techniques which are parsimonious and robust. Data available on the prices of 22 essential commodities in May 1971 and in December 1973 was subjected to analysis with a...

In this paper we represent bargaining solutions by means of a metric which is defined on games, whereby the solutions are precisely those payoffs which are closest to being unanimously highest.

There is considerable amount of research on the problem of stress specially the stresses faced and experienced by executives. Psychologists, physiologist and management experts have all directed their attention to this critical area. It is, however, interesting to find that Indian scriptures...

Given two agents with von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities who wish to divide n commodities, consider the two-person non-cooperative game with strategies consisting of concave, increasing von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions and whose outcomes are fair allocations to the commodity division...

The exact problem we are concerned with in this paper is of the following nature. There are a finite number of producers each equipped with a utility function of the standard variety, which converts and input into a producer specific output. An allocation of the input among the producers is...

This paper explores the possibility of improving the utility of the well-known WASP computer package for investment planning in power systems by introducing a Network Planning Model for representing and planning the power transmission network expansion in the WASP package as a module. The...

We consider a finite universal set of alternatives and the set of all feasible sets are simply the set of all non-empty subsets of this universal set. A choice function assigns to each feasible set a non-empty subset of it. In such a framework we propose and study necessary and sufficient...

The purpose of this paper is to axiomatically characterize a Compromise Solution for claims problems which satisfies invariance under affine utility transformations. The more well-known solutions for claims problems do not satisfy this property. This is a major deficiency of the latter class of...
