Toward More Rational Executive Remuneration
There are several points in the remuneration planning process where ambiguity exists and a lack of understanding can lead to the establishment of inappropriate levels of executive pay. Awareness of these decision points will enable remuneration committees of boards of directors to exercise appropriate diligence in developing executive pay structures and levels that are motivational for executiv...
متن کاملToward a Methodology of Rational System Design
In this paper I defend the view that there are rational methodological criteria for preferring one system design1 over another and that they are substantially the same as those of the scientific method. The parallels between the notion of a rational system design and the notion of a rational scientific theory are not coincidental: they reflect a fundamental similarity between the invention of d...
متن کاملToward a Rational Reconstruction of Design Inferences
Detecting the deliberate operation of intelligent agents in the environment is an activity so natural and pervasive that we may not be inclined, prereflectively, to classify it as an inference at all. The analogy with visual perception is initially very attractive. Just as we spontaneously discriminate among physical objects without any overt sense of deliberation, so we find ourselves sorting ...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Toward rational design of electrical stimulation strategies for epilepsy control.
Electrical stimulation is emerging as a viable alternative for patients with epilepsy whose seizures are not alleviated by drugs or surgery. Its attractions are temporal and spatial specificity of action, flexibility of waveform parameters and timing, and the perception that its effects are reversible unlike resective surgery. However, despite significant advances in our understanding of mechan...
