Characteristic Features

Through a non-representative sample of the small enterprises of the North-Alföld Region, this paper studies the product strategic priorities enabling us to make a detailed typology of smallenterprises. According to the relevant technical literature, the types of small enterprises have typical strategic priorities. Obviously, each group can be characterised with certain strategicpriorities, which are sharply distinct from each other. These priority features are shown in the form of characteristic features in the enterprise’s marketing activities, market behaviour (product policy, innovation attitude, technology, price policy). This paper studies the enterprises of the sample through the role of production technology, material quality, low price and branding endeavours affecting product positioning.

Statistical Hypotheses Testing

Sustainable Value Analysis (SVA) [F. Figge, T. Hahn, Ecol. Econ. 48(2004) 173-187] is a method formeasuring sustainability performance consistent with the constant capital rule and strongsustainability. SVA compares eco-efficiency of a firm relative to some benchmark. The choice of thebenchmark implies some assumptions regarding the underlying production technology. This paperpresents a rigorous examination of the role of benchmark technology in SVA. We show that Figge andHahn’s formula for calculating sustainable value implies a peculiar linear benchmark technology. Wepresent a generalized formulation of sustainable value that is not restricted to any particular functionalform and allows for estimating benchmark technology from empirical data. Our generalized SVAformulation reveals a direct link between SVA and frontier approaches to environmental performancemeasurement and facilitates statistical hypotheses testing concerning the benchmark.

This study seeks to understand “how” economic shocks drive industry merger activity. We test whether economic shocks from deregulation and technological change drive industry merger activity by increasing industry competition, controlling for the effect of valuations. We find that these shocks drive merger activity through three channels related to industry competition; deregulation drives merger activity by increasing entry and cash flow volatility; technological change drives merger activity by increasing entry and inter-firm dispersion in the quality of production technology. These findings underscore the role of the competitive mechanism in how managers reallocate assets via mergers and support the view that the industry-level clustering of merger activity is an efficiency-driven restructuring response to increased competition.

<p>The practise of creating music for the recorded medium has been a fluid and constantly changing enterprise since its inception. Emergences of new studio technologies over the last fifty years have spurred new cultures, philosophies and approaches to music production and composition, ultimately seeing a merging of the once disparate roles of producer and composer.  It is this contemporary, technology-informed new role of producer-composer that brings with it discussion - for much of which there is no general consensus - over issues pertaining to perceived liveness, the producer-composer’s control over the resulting sound, and most contentiously the use of music technology itself: its transparency and its legitimacy as substitutions for real instruments.  These are all fluid and complex issues and this paper does not attempt to provide answers for, nor take a definitive stance on them other than in the sharing of opinions formed from my own experiences in applying production as composition to the creative aspect of this project. In this paper I seek to share some of the current discussion regarding production-as-composition, in light of my own compositional experiment, which strives to create a simulation of real-performance via almost entirely artificial means within an idealised, hyper-musical sonic environment. By bringing together real musicians and virtual instruments within a recorded track and edited via music production technology, the experiment aimed to produce an illusion of liveness.</p>

Sensitivity Indices

Features of technology of modern production of radio-electronic means and requirements to models of management of technological processes according to features of production are defined. The role of sensitivity analysis in the development of control models is shown. Traditionally applied sensitivity indices and methods of their estimation are considered. The limitations of their application due to the large range of products, the variability of the production technology of radio-electronic means, the non-linearity of the dynamics of technological processes and the lack of statistical data are shown. An algorithm for calculating fuzzy sensitivity parameters using a family of Johnson distributions is proposed. The application of the algorithm is effective in conditions of uncertainty of technological processes’ dynamics, uncontrollability of disturbances and insufficiency of statistical data.
