University of Paris-Saclay

Beyond a general discussion of big data as the new frontier for business growth, it is important for firms to develop an analytical approach, notably with respect to digital assets. Based on previous arguments, the chapter proposes a categorization of digital assets, their value and risks, and their mode of approach, taking into account the overall governance structure.

Service-oriented Manufacturing Process Planning for Enterprise Application Integration

May 2004

In today's digital economy, enterprise application integration is recognized as one of the most important technologies to enable enterprise to quickly adapt to dynamic changing customer requirements. Manufacturing process planning takes the key role in integrated enterprise application systems. To address such a need, the general architecture of manufacturing process planning, including ... [Show full abstract] macro-planning and micro-planning, for enterprise application integration is developed. The detailed framework of macro-planning and micro-planning is created based on the general architecture. The serviceoriented architecture, i.e., web service, is applied to develop macro-planning and micro-planning to effectively integrate enterprise application systems. In deed, it is expected that the developed architecture will lay the frontier basis for the further research in manufacturing process planning to meet dynamic business requirements in modern competitive market.

George Bright

‘All right,’ says John Slater, ‘your analysis of my latest accounts showed that I’ve got a few things to be careful of. But overall the business is doing reasonably well — agreed? Then tell me why I haven’t got a Mercedes and a country mansion and can’t afford holidays in the Bahamas like Sid Craven? He’s in the same business as I am, his company must be roughly the same size and he went into ... [Show full abstract] business at about the same time as I did. Should my business be doing better? If so, what areas should I look at for improvements?’

New Consequentialism and the New Doing-Allowing Distinction

January 2019

Paul Hurley

Intuitively, we sometimes have decisive reasons not to do certain things even though such restraint allows something worse overall to happen. Traditional consequentialists challenge the legitimacy of this distinction, but a new wave of evaluator-relative consequentialists endorses this commonsense doing-allowing distinction. This chapter demonstrates that such new wave consequentialists in fact ... [Show full abstract] shift their target to a new intuitive distinction, that we sometimes have decisive reasons not to do things even though such restraint allows an evaluator-relatively worse outcome to happen. The chapter argues that the appeal to a “teleological conception of reasons” (TCR) grounds the arguments against this new distinction; that the case for TCR is itself grounded in appeals to outcome-centered accounts of values, attitudes, and actions; that alternative accounts of values, attitudes, and actions do not support TCR; and that acceptance of such alternative accounts undermines the case for consequentialism at the deepest level.

Longevity-risk transfer with financial risk: is it worth for annuity providers?

June 2013

This paper formalizes the trade-off between the cost and benefits of longevity risk transfer for an annuity provider, taking into account both mortality and interest-rate risk appraisal, on both assets and liabilities. The main novelty of the paper consists in providing an overall Value-at-Risk (VaR) in closed form, using a simplified, consistent way to measure both interest-rate and longevity ... [Show full abstract] risk. A risk-return frontier built, using VaR shows that the transfer may increase or decrease the overall risk, while decreasing returns. This applies to the 2010 UK annuity and bond market. A utility-based decision criterion is used to locate the optimal transfer.

The objectivity of truth, a core truism?

February 2021 · Synthese

A typical guiding principle of an account of truth is: “truth is objective,” or, to be clear, judging whether an assertion is true or false depends upon how things are in the world rather than how someone or some community believes it to be. Accordingly, whenever a claim is objectively true, its truth conditions ought not depend upon the context in which it is uttered or the utterer making the ... [Show full abstract] claim. Part of our ongoing empirical studies surveying people’s responses to questions about truth involved prompts on objectivity. Our studies suggest the following: (1) overall, individuals tend to endorse claims that are consistent with the objectivity of truth; (2) not all conceptions of objectivity are equal, even people who endorse the objectivity of truth sometimes assent to one form of truth’s objectivity over other forms; (3) philosophers and non-philosophers both endorse the objectivity of truth, but the apparent commitment of philosophers is stronger. © 2017 Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature

The Investment Process and Decision Making: the Strategic Perspective

January 2006

This chapter turns from the project level to the enterprise level, mainly because an appraisal which considers an investment project in isolation is inadequate. An enterprise perspective is necessary. The chapter, therefore, adopts a strategic perspective on investment decision making, one which places the appraisal of a single investment project in the context of the overall enterprise strategy, ... [Show full abstract] including its relationship with other projects — past, present and future. Such a perspective stresses the role of the enterprise as a maker of strategy. It is consistent with a view which interprets most strategy as emerging from a learning process. It also discusses the strategic risk arising from the strategy of other players before presenting an expanded version of net present value and a decision rule which takes full account of uncertainty. It follows up with a review of the requirements of a relevant information strategy. The chapter concludes with an analysis of a critical aspect of strategy, the appropriate mode of entry to be adopted into international business transactions.

Interpretation of Financial Statements

January 1991

In Sect. 1.1 of this text a formal definition of accounting was provided in which it was described as the communication of information to enable informed judgement and decisions to be made by users. Many of the intervening sections have concentrated on the preparation and presentation of this information. The end result is a set of financial statements which provide an overall picture of the ... [Show full abstract] firm’s performance for an accounting period. The profit and loss account measures the increase in wealth which the firm has generated from operations; the statement of source and application of funds demonstrates how the funds generated from operations, together with any additional funds from other sources, have been used within the firm; and the balance sheet gives an overall picture of the closing position of the business.

P. Stevens

One of the reasons for keeping accounts is to provide information for the owners and management of the business. One of the important areas of information relates to the profitability of the business. It is obviously important to know the overall or total profit of the business, but in the case of a business running separate departments or selling distinct and separate products it is also useful ... [Show full abstract] to know the profit made by each department or earned by each product. This is the purpose of departmental accounts: to provide us with information regarding profitability of separate departments.

Application Of Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle For Quality And Productivity Improvement-A Review

January 2017

The PDCA Cycle is a systematic series of steps for gaining valuable learning and knowledge for the continual improvement of a product or process. PDCA is an iterative four-step quality improvement and productivity improvement process typically used for the better of the business strategy. PDCA is a successive cycle which starts off small to test potential effects on processes, but then gradually ... [Show full abstract] leads to larger and more targeted change. Though the method is applicable to process, business and organization as generally utilized by the industry, but this is an attempt to try and adopt the same at an individual level to bring productivity improvement in individuals which will trigger an improvement in process and quality for the organization at a bigger level. How this method would help an individual to become more accountable which will ultimately enable a group, a product line and an organization to be able to make a difference in improving the overall quality. The method tries to bring in changes to the traditional ways how an individual does an activity and with few improvements, the overall productivity can be increased that will ultimately benefit the organization.

An improved approach for studying oscillation of second-order neutral delay differential equations

July 2018 · Journal of Inequalities and Applications

The paper is devoted to the study of oscillation of solutions to a class of second-order half-linear neutral differential equations with delayed arguments. New oscillation criteria are established, and they essentially improve the well-known results reported in the literature, including those for non-neutral differential equations. The adopted approach refines the classical Riccati transformation ... [Show full abstract] technique by taking into account such part of the overall impact of the delay that has been neglected in the earlier results. The effectiveness of the obtained criteria is illustrated via examples.

Andrew Fix

As Bekker moved to the second part of his argument about spirits and their temporal activities, he left behind the realm of metaphysical speculation and entered perhaps the most dangerous mine field of late seventeenth-century intellectual discussion: biblical exegesis. To successfully bring home his overall argument about spirits, he had to deal with scriptural accounts of spirit activity. And ... [Show full abstract] deal with them he did.
