Environmental requirements for optimal naval operational efficiency
… environment modelling as a part of optimal naval operational efficiency, and thus military oceanography, is evaluated. To be able to do this, the principles of knowledge-based warfare and the ability to make rapid environmental assessments, are introduced. These then form part of optimal …

Asymmetry In Operational Efficiency and Managerial Ability Benchmarks
Standard empirical models of operating efficiency (OE) and managerial ability (MA) assume a symmetric linear relation of OE and MA with firm performance. However, OE and MA metrics are likely to respond faster to a demand decrease than a demand increase due to cost stickiness and respond faster to …
