Inhibition of return: unraveling a paradox.

Solving the Paradox of Multiple IRR\'s in Engineering Economic Problems by Choosing an Optimal -cut

Until now single values of IRR are traditionally used to estimate the time value of cash flows. Since uncertainty exists in estimating cost data, the resulting decision may not be reliable. The most commonly cited drawbacks to using the internal rate of return in evaluatton of deterministic cash flow streams is the possibility of multiple conflicting internal rates of return. In this paper we p...

Analysis of the No Return Point Hypothesis: The Effect of Audio and Visual Stimuli in the Fast Movements Inhibition

Background. The No Return Point hypothesis is one of the research areas that has been done in line with the motor program. In this hypothesis emphasized an inability to inhibition move after its start by the motor program. Several factors are affecting the mechanism of this inhibition. Objectives. In this study, we investigate the effects of audio and visual stimuli on blocking quick moves to ...

Ordinal Strategic Risk and Return: a Fresh Look at Bowman’s Paradox

This paper examines the risk-return relationship from a sample of 34 firms listed on the CAC 40 stock market index over the period 1993-2002. The test of risk-return association uses two distinct risk measures: the strategic risk of the firm, based on the ordinal approach proposed by Collins and Ruefli (1992), and the conventional variance of returns. The total sample is then divided into two s...

A Risk/return Paradox for Strategic Management

The total set of industries from Value Line is used to demonstrate that business risk and return are negatively correlated across companies within industries. Some empirical questions about industries themselves are also raised. The concepts of income smoothing and corporate strategy are utilized to explain this apparent paradox. Further work is both suggested and
