Thermal energy applied to particles in conservative vector fields results in an increase in the potential and kinetic energy causing an increase in entropy. However, conservative fields associated with potential energy gradients of the system act in opposition to the kinetic energy gradients...

This paper develops a set of management and production criteria needed to be used in order to maximize profits and shareholder values. If these criteria are achieved, the firm may achieve and sustain “supernormal” profits and revenue growth. The criteria developed here are all related to the...

The two notions of temporal and thermodynamic irreversibility are distinguished. It is shown that the irreversibility concept of Arrow-Debreu, while establishing temporal irreversibility, does not encompass thermodynamic irreversibility. This means, the standard irreversibility concept of...
