A Behavioral Theory of R&D Expenditures and Innovations: Evidence from Shipbuilding

I base an integrated model of innovation development and launch on the behavioral theory of the firm. This model specifies that research and development expenses are increased when low performance causes “problemistic search” and when excess resources cause “slack search.” Innovations generated by search are launched if low performance gives managers high risk tolerance. Using data from shipbuilding firms, I show that high performance reduces R&D intensity and innovation launches, and high slack increases R&D intensity, as predicted.

A BEHAVIORAL THEORY OF R&D EXPENDITURES AND INNOVATIONS: EVIDENCE FROM SHIPBUILDING.

I base an integrated model of innovation development and launch on the behavioral theory of the firm. This model specifies that research and development expenses are increased when low performance causes “problemistic search” and when excess resources cause “slack search.” Innovations generated by search are launched if low performance gives managers high risk tolerance. Using data from shipbuilding firms, I show that high performance reduces R&D intensity and innovation launches, and high slack increases R&D intensity, as predicted.

Scheduling of hard aperiodic tasks

In this paper, we present a preemptive joint scheduling of hard deadline periodic and hard deadline aperiodic tasks on a uniprocessor real-time system. The scheduling has extended the Critical Task Indicating (CTI) algorithm [4] of which simulation study shows a considerable performance improvement over the other soft aperiodic task schedulings, especially under a heavy transient overload. Since a hard deadline aperiodic task has its own deadline, the proposed algorithm has a decision making mechanism that performs the on-line acceptance/rejection test upon its arrival. For simplicity and good performance, the algorithm reuses the original CTI table being used in the CTI algorithm as a slack search domain. Moreover, by searching the CTI table similarly to a circular list, it has removed the problem of search space limitation caused by the hyperperiod bound.

Photosynthesis by sugar-cane leaves. A new carboxylation reaction and the pathway of sugar formation.

1. Radioactive products in detached leaf segments were examined after periods of steady-state photosynthesis in (14)CO(2). 2. After exposure to (14)CO(2) for approx. 1sec. more than 93% of the fixed radioactivity was located in malate, aspartate and oxaloacetate. After longer periods large proportions of the radioactivity appeared in 3-phosphoglycerate, hexose monophosphates and sucrose. Similar results were obtained with leaves still attached to the plant. 3. Radioactivity appeared first in C-4 of the dicarboxylic acids and C-1 of 3-phosphoglycerate. The labelling pattern in hexoses was consistent with their formation from 3-phosphoglycerate. 4. The reaction giving rise to C(4) dicarboxylic acid appears to be the only quantitatively significant carboxylation reaction. 5. Evidence is provided that the radioactivity incorporated into the C(4) dicarboxylic acid pool is transferred to sugars via 3-phosphoglycerate. A scheme is proposed to account for these observations.
