Curricula and State of the Profession

Most of us have encountered problems in developing an effective quantitative analysis program for our business schools in the United States. We have often found managers very reluctant to adopt QA techniques; on the other hand, students, although not reluctant, lacked the necessary mathematical background. During the academic year 1970–71, the authors assisted in the development of a QA department in the business school of a developing nation which offers both resident coursework for graduate students and executives seminars for businessmen. Both the students and the executives had the necessary mathematical background for rapid understanding of QA techniques. The executives appeared eager to use QA in their business operations and the students were highly motivated toward the application of QA to business problems. Our purpose in this article is not to convince all the QA professors to teach in underdeveloped nations, but to furnish information which is likely to be useful to those who attempt to establish similar QA programs in other developing countries.     

Unemployment Transitions among Brazilians in the United States and Canada

This study uses the job search framework to examine the unemployment experiences of Brazilian immigrants in the North American labour force. Primary data gathered in Canada and the United States is used in these analyses. The model generally used to monitor transitions among the native‐born was modified to make it more appropriate to the immigrant experience. To do this a composite model was constructed that incorporates variables unique to the immigrant experience. Event history analyses revealed that, in general, job search theory is very relevant for examining the transitions of immigrants. However, not all standard measures behaved as predicted (e.g. reservation wage). Several immigrant specific variables were very significant (e.g. target earner and legal status) and improved the overall model fit. Brazilians who worked primarily with other co‐ethnics were more likely to become re‐employed than those who did not, while working for a Brazilian employer had no effect on being re‐employed. US/Canadian comparisons also revealed that residents of Canada endured longer periods of unemployment. We believe this result is because Canadian residents had greater access to public services and, as such, were able to have higher reservation wages.     

Slope rotatability over all directions designs for k = 4

Slope rotatability over all directions (SROAD) is a useful concept when the slope of a second-order response is to be studied. SROAD designs ensure that knowledge jof the slope is acquired symmetrically, whatever direction later becomes of more interest as the data are analyzed. In a prior paper, we explored designs for k=2 and 3 dimensions, which do not have the full symmetries of second-order designs but which still possess the SROAD property.Here, we discuss designs in higher dimensions.The introductory sections 1 and 2 are essentially identical to those of the prior paper.     

Opinions on Fictitious Issues: The Pressure to Answer Survey Questions

This research shows, as have previous studies, that a substantialnumber of people will offer opinions on fictitious topics inthe context of a survey interview. The results of a split-ballotexperiment (and a replication) with three fictitious publicaffairs issues suggest that people give opinions on such mattersin large part because of the pressure to answer survey questionsthat is created by the way in which the questions are askedand by the manner in which "don't know" responses are handledby the interviewer. The findings also indicate that there maybe little or no relationship between an individual's willingnessto admit ignorance and his or her inclination to volunteer opinionson fictitious issues, as measured by at least one item fromthe Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. In addition, thedata demonstrate that blacks and less well-educated respondentsare more likely than their counterparts to offer opinions onfictitious issues.
