2. Management Theory and Social Welfare: Contributions and Challenges

Author

Jones, Thomas M, Donaldson, Thomas, Freeman, R Edward, Harrison, Jeffrey S, Leana, Carrie R, Mahoney, Joseph T, and Pearce, Jone L

Subjects
Business and Management, Marketing, Business & Management
Abstract

In this Introduction to the Special Topic Forum on Management Theory and Social Welfare, we first provide an overview of the motivation behind the special issue. We then highlight the contributions of the six articles that make up this forum and identify some common themes. We also suggest some reasons why social welfare issues are so difficult to addressin the context of management theory. In addition, we evaluate means of assessing social welfare and urge scholars not to make (or imply) unwarranted "wealth creation" claims.

37. Boards of directors and shark repellents: assessing the value of an agency theory perspective

Author

Frankforter, Steven A., Berman, Shawn L., and Jones, Thomas M.

Subjects

Abstract

Relationships between the adoption of shark repellents and vaious mechanisms that agency theory recommends for aligning the interests of corporate board members and shareholders are examined. Because agency theory explains so little of the variance of shark repellent adoption, other theoretical formulations for corporate governance, such as stewardship theory and agent morality, should be considered.

44. Stakeholder-agency theory

Author

Hill, Charles W.L. and Jones, Thomas M.

Subjects
Agency theory -- Analysis, Business, Business, general
Abstract

Taking agency theory and stakeholder theory as points of departure, this article proposes a paradigm that helps explain the following: (1) certain aspects of a firm's strategic behaviour; (2) the structure of management-stakeholder contracts; (3) the form taken by the institutional structures that monitor and enforce contracts between managers and other stakeholders; and (4) the evolutionary process that shapes both management-stakeholder contracts and the institutional structures that police those contracts.

48. Using simulation to realize TQM within a technical support department

Author

Jones, Thomas M. and Crowe, Thomas J.

Subjects
Computer simulation -- Usage, Total quality management -- Methods
Abstract

The following report summarizes the findings of a pilot study performed for a Midwest communications software company. The pilot study was performed to show that simulation is a useful tool in realizing Total Quality Management (TQM) within the company's Technical Support Department. Simulation was used to determine the amount of resources required (i.e., telephone lines and technical support specialists) to maintain an acceptable level of service. It is believed that this level of service has a direct bearing on customer satisfaction, one of the major objectives of TQM. Simulation is one way to assess an acceptable level of service and thus assist in the realization of TQM. KEYWORDS Simulation, Service Industry, Scheduling, Total Quality Management (TQM).

50. A comparison of shuttle vernier engine plume contamination with CONTAM 3.4 code predictions

Author

Maag, Carl R, Jones, Thomas M, Rao, Shankar M, and Linder, W. Kelly

Subjects
Spacecraft Propulsion And Power
Abstract

In 1985, using the CONTAM 3.2 code, it was predicted that the shuttle Primary Reaction Control System (PRCS) and Vernier Reaction Control System (VRCS) engines could be potential contamination sources to sensitive surfaces located within the shuttle payload bay. Spaceflight test data on these engines is quite limited. Shuttle mission STS-32, the Long Duration Exposure Facility retrieval mission, was instrumented with an experiment that provided the design engineer with evidence that contaminant species from the VRCS engines can enter the payload bay. More recently, the most recent version of the analysis code, CONTAM 3.4, has re-examined the contamination potential of these engines.
