This paper examines connections between data-driven models for analyzing a firm's strategic plans, which use activity-based costing and mathematical programming, and the resource-based view of the firm. After brief reviews of the three disciplines, extensions of activity-based costing methods to mathematical programming models for strategic resource planning are discussed. Applications of these...

This paper surveys the use of mathematical programming models for controll~ng environmental quality. The scope includes air, water, and land quality, stemming from the first works in the 1960s. It also includes integrated models, generally that are economic equilibrium models which have an equivalent mathematical program or use mathematical programming to compute a fixed point. A primary goal o...

In both the design and use of large-scale mathematical programming systems, a substantial portion of the effort has no direct relation to the variables and constraints, but is instead concerned with the description, manipulation and display of data. Established principles of database design do not apply directly to mathematical programming, however, because there are significant differences of ...

Fuzzy linear regression models are used to obtain an appropriate linear relation between a dependent variable and several independent variables in a fuzzy environment. Several methods for evaluating fuzzy coefficients in linear regression models have been proposed. The first attempts at estimating the parameters of a fuzzy regression model used mathematical programming methods. In this the...

There are various automatic programming models inspired by evolutionary computation techniques. Due to the importance of devising an automatic mechanism to explore the complicated search space of mathematical problems where numerical methods fails, evolutionary computations are widely studied and applied to solve real world problems. One of the famous algorithm in optimization problem is shuffl...

a strategy that integrates an organization's marketing goals into a cohesive whole, ideally drawn from market research, focuses on the ideal product mix in order to achieve maximum profit potential; the marketing strategy is set out as a marketing plan, a good idea, method, information, object, or service that is the end result of a process and serves as a need or want satisfier. it is usually ...
