This paper aims to determine the impact of dividend policy on stock price volatility by taking firms listed on Tehran stock exchange.  A sample of 68 listed companies from Tehran stock exchange is examined for a period from 2001 to 2012.  The estimation is based on cross-sectional ordinary least square regression analysis to find the relationship between share price volatility and dividend poli...

1 In this paper, I investigate the relation between stock repurchases and distribution, investment, capital structure, corporate control, and compensation policies over the 1977 to 1996 period. I allow the significance of each motive to change over time to account for adjustments in the percentage of firms influenced by each motive. I find that, throughout the sample period, firms repurchase st...

This paper examines how control and ownership structure affect share repurchases in an emerging market where controlling families derive large private benefits. Whereas firms with concentrated ownership often pay cash dividends, firms with weak control rights often repurchase shares. The magnitude of repurchase increases with weak control rights, but decreases with strong foreign ownership. The...

Managing inventory in distribution systems involves taking decisions on the quantity of inventory to be placed at different stages so that a desired customer service level can be achieved at minimum cost. In this paper, we present the case of the distribution system of an Indian FMCG company, which despite having centralized control takes replenishment decisions based on local stock information...

The genetic control of propagation effects and the impact of stock-plant age and source was examined in 9 month-old Pinus radiata cuttings. The cuttings investigated were propagated from stock-plants aged between 2 and 5 years, and microcuttings propagated from 12 week old stock-plants. The design included 20 families, with seven clones per family and an average of seven ramets per clone. Five ...

e are all creatures of habit; the way we think and the views we take are conditioned by our education, society as a whole, and, at a much deeper level, our cultural memories or instinct. It is sometimes surprising how much the past can unconsciously affect today’s thinking. George Santayana famously observed, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” But when it comes to ...

Economical flows are studied by means of a particle model. Simulation methods are applied to the problem and a theoretical framework is constructed. Adaptive methods for the analysis, the evaluation and the control of economical flows are deduced.

Companies with high reworks rate have a real problem of flow management. Despite methods in place leading to minimize the number of reworks, they often must implement palliative solutions to manage disturbed flows. We propose in this paper a diagnostic approach based on reworks and flow disturbance indicators to enable them to view the disturbing status of their workshop. This work is a part of...
