We address Jacoby's (1991) proposal that strategic control over knowledge requires conscious awareness of that knowledge. In a two-grammar artificial grammar learning experiment all participants were trained on two grammars, consisting of a regularity in letter sequences, while two other dimensions (colours and fonts) varied randomly. Strategic control was measured as the ability to selectively...

We consider a stochastic control problem that has emerged in the economics literature as an investment model under uncertainty. This problem combines features of both stochastic impulse control and optimal stopping. The aim is to discover the form of the optimal strategy. It turns out that this has a priori rather unexpected features. The results that we establish are of an explicit nature. We ...

This paper discusses the design characteristics management accounting systems should have to be useful for strategic planning and control and provides brief introductions to strategic variance analysis, profit-linked performance measurement models and balanced scorecard. It shows two multi-period, multiproduct models are specified, can be related to Porter's strategy framework and cost and reve...

In this study we consider the problem of optimal channel selection policies for a transmitter in a multichannel wireless system where a channel can be in one of multiple states. Each channel state is associated with a probability of transmission success. In such systems, the sender typically has partial information concerning the channel states, but can deduct more information by probing indivi...
