Utilizing recent developments in data envelopment analysis (DEA), this paper examines the performance of the top 55 U.S. commercial banks via a two-stage production process that separates profitability and marketability. Substantial performance inefficiency is uncovered in both dimensions. Relatively large banks exhibit better performance on profitability, whereas smaller banks tend to perform ...

We study the effect of non-marketability on stock prices, and examine a unique repeated non-marketability constraint that lasts for less than one day in China. Chinese stock buyers face a one-day lockup and cannot sell their shares until the next trading day. Using the equity call warrants that are not subject to this trading constraint as a control, we provide evidence that non-marketability l...

The marketability of current and future BCI applications may greatly influence the decisions of goverments, the industry and academia. In this paper we first explored with a survey when respondents (N=145), who were present at the 4th International BCI Meeting, expect that different BCI applications will become commercially available. Second, we surveyed how well existing BCI companies are know...

The present study examines three classes of career competencies proposed as important predictors of success in the boundaryless career. Three criteria of career success were examined: perceived career satisfaction, perceived internal marketability, and perceived external marketability. Using data from 458 alumni from a large southeastern university, predictions were tested using partial correla...

This study estimates the multi-component efficiency of banks under financial holding companies, including profitability and marketability efficiencies, by utilizing a RAM (Range-adjusted measure) variation model. The analysis process uses the three-dimensional BCG (Boston Consulting Group) matrix created by this study. We find that although semi-publicly-owned banks under financial holding comp...

We apply polarities, axiallities and the notion of entropy to the task of identifying marketable items and the customers that should be approached in a marketing campaign. An algorithm that computes the criteria for identifying marketable items and the corresponding experimental work is also included.

Pummelo is known to be the largest of all citrus fruits, with expected ratio of 2:1 (w/v) of producing juice, is an attractive opportunity for Malaysia to expand pummelo’s influence and marketability over the international market of juices. The purpose of this study is to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds in two Malaysian varieties of pummelo fruit juice: Ledang (PO55) and Tambun (PO...
