For two decades, risk management has been gaining ground in banking. In light of the recent financial crisis, several commentators concluded that the continuing expansion of risk measurement is dysfunctional (Power, 2009; Taleb, 2007). This paper asks whether the expansion of measurement-based risk...

This paper is concerned with characterizing decision rules for the sequential E-model of chance-constrained programming. A key feature of our characterization will be a detailed discussion of various interpretations of the probability operator in the chance constraints. Specifically we define...

Growth period models, previously treated in the literature, have assumed that the pattern of value increase of the growth asset is deterministic. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed by considering models in which the increase in value of an asset in a period is a random variable whose...

David Norton and I introduced the Balanced Scorecard in a 1992 Harvard Business Review article (Kaplan & Norton, 1992). The article was based on a multi-company research project to study performance measurement in companies whose intangible assets played a central role in value creation (Nolan...

A study is made of a dynamic inventory model with stochastic lead times. A probability model is developed for the arrival of outstanding orders in which it is assumed that orders do not cross in time and that the arrival probabilities are independent of the number and size of outstanding orders....

Average variable costs are not directly defined for multiple products produced in complex production settings. An activity analysis model can be used for basic cost measurement and for building a linear programming model of manufacturing operations. The model can then be used not only to compute...
