Abstract: Raises some basic questions that every MBA must ask himself before writing his bio-data. It also identifies certain items that must and may not find a place in the bio-data. Five broad but distinct styles of bio-data preparation have been examined, indication situations where these styles would be appropriate. ... More

Abstract: This note discusses the basic concepts and developments in the field of multiple?criteria mathematical programming (MCMP). The general formulation of MCMP problems is given. Various concepts such as decision space, criterion space, efficient point, efficient frontier, dominated point, utility (preference) function, trade?off, etc are introduced. The direct estimation ...

Abstract: Discusses the basic inventory systems for controlling inventories under uncertain demand and lead-time. The continuous review system and periodic review system are discussed, and determination of control parameters for the two systems is explained. The concepts of service level, safety stock and reorder point are discussed, and formulas for determining ... More

Abstract: Discusses the models for determining economic order quantities when quantity discounts are given. The models with "all unit" discount and "incremental" discount are presented and economic order quantity for each case is determined. Illustrative examples for each case are provided to show the use of the model and the determination ... More

Abstract: The note describes a classification scheme of marketing information for scale construction. For single item measurement, ordinal, interval and ratio scale methods are described. Multi-item scales like semantic differential, Thurstone's equal appearing interval, and Likert's summated rating scales are described. A broad idea about multidimensional scaling is also provided. Guidelines ... More

Abstract: Introduces the functions of inventories and various costs relevant for inventory management. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model with deterministic demand and lead-time is discussed and basic derivations of the model are presented. Sensitivity of cost to various parameters of the model is discussed. Finally, the EOQ model with back ... More

Abstract: Some of the distinguishing features of forestry as an economic activity have been summarized to provide a basis for discussion on whether 1) forest development projects carry relatively higher risks, 2) intangible benefits and costs of forestry projects can or cannot be accounted for in assessing bankability, and 3) multiple objectives in forest ...

Abstract: This note reviews the developments in the field of multiple?criteria decision-making (MCDM) together with developments in related areas such as utility theory and decision theory. Multiple criteria problems and basic approaches to solve these problems are mentioned. Direct estimation approach and interactive approach for estimating decision?makers' preferences are ... More

Abstract: Discusses the models for determining Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) for items in a multi?item situation with constraints. The derivation of EOQs for items under the constraint of average total investment in inventories is given. The EOQs for items where there is a constraint on total workload (i.e., number ... More
