Many experiments have found that participants take more investment risk if they see returns less frequently, see portfolio-level returns (rather than each individual asset's returns), or see long-horizon (rather than one-year) historical return distributions. In contrast, we find that such information aggregation treatments do not affect total equity investment when we make the investment envir...

Under more and more fiscal scrutiny because of shrinking state and local budgets, workforce development programs are being asked to estimate their return on investment (ROI). This paper introduces basic concepts of ROI in workforce development programs. It distinguishes ROIs estimated for workforce programs from those that are estimated for financial investments or capital projects. The paper f...

Growth in the use of simulation technology has been less than expected. Today there are still many applications that could benefit from simulation, but that do not use it. As companies decide whether to use simulation, they need to consider the investment and all possible benefits. In this panel, four simulation professionals from academia and industry answer two questions about Return on Inves...

As a result of the increasing pressure on health care expenditures calculations of the return on investment (ROI) have been attempted in assessing the utility of medical equipment purchases. The measurement of ROI requires an in-depth analysis of equipment cost, cost structure, and medical processes. ROI analysis in health care is more complicated and error-prone than in most other industries. ...

Active Learning (AL) can be defined as a selectively supervised learning protocol intended to present those data to an oracle for labeling which will be most enlightening for machine learning. While AL traditionally accounts for the value of the information obtained, it often ignores the cost of obtaining the information thus causing it to perform sub-optimally with respect to total cost. We pr...

due to increasingly expansion of energy consumption and also decreasing and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. the present researchinvestigates possibility of creating wind power station economically at soltanieh zone of zanajnprovince regard...

during the past two decades business and manufacturing have observed significant and radical changes. companies have used automation in the manufacturing, in order to improve quality and competency. it was expected that along with these changes, management accounting systems, which focus on monitoring and analyzing management decisions, should adapt with and encourage the changes. many authors ...

This paper describes a procedure that can help managers measure their return on investment for project management (PM/ROI). Current PM processes and practices of 38 different companies and government agencies in 4 different industries or application areas were quantitatively examined. A PM benchmarking procedure was developed and used to assess the PM process maturity of these different organiz...
