An Approximate Approach for Batch Update of Common Preference Group

Abstract This paper provides a rigorous statistical analysis of the educational effectiveness of a curriculum module pertaining to direct current (DC) motors and motorized systems. Educational interactive multimedia software played an important role in the module, which also included lectures, a design project and other more traditional pedagogics. Pre- and post-tests were administered to measure learning during the module and individual test questions targeted specific areas of the curriculum to determine the contribution of the various resources to the entire learning environment. The data indicate that the module was indeed educationally successful and that the software contributed to the curriculum’s success. The module was particularly effective for promoting learning by female engineering students in the course and mitigated some discrepancies in prior knowledge. Students were also grouped into four preference groups based on analysis of students’ preference questionnaire responses. The data indicate that each preference group responded differently to the various teaching techniques employed in the curriculum.

The Subject

Currently, we live in an economy that has changed considerably since the 1990s. This is the time where the economies have moved from the industrial to the information age. For about a decade, companies have switched to the immaterial economy in addition to the physical value (fixed assets: buildings, workshops, computers, vehicles, etc.) and the cash value (cash, receivables, etc.).There is a gaseous value, which is the intangible capital. This new notable concept is the subject of this research, which is to calculate the intangible capital of a sample of listed Moroccan companies, according to an approximate approach, based on publicly available data on Casablanca Stock Exchange website. The purpose of this research is to answer the following questions: What is intellectual capital? What are the components of intangible capital? And what is the weight of intangible capital in Moroccan companies?
