There has been a worldwide interest to develop supersonic business jet (SSBJ) for minimum range of 4000 nm with low sonic boom intensity and high fuel efficiency. An SSBJ design model is developed in the GENUS aircraft conceptual environment. With model, low-boom low-drag concept designed optimized. This article studies its operational performances. The sustained cruise flight studied find out ...

a professor of economics at Auburn University. The authors would like to thank William Butos, the members of the Kaplan Workshop at George Mason University, and the members of the New York University Austrian Colloquium for their helpful remarks. 1Not to say that ABCT cannot be formally modeled. Indeed, Garrison (2001) is one such model, while other, simulation-based systems employing autonomou...

It has long been recognised that banking is a procyclical business. That is, banks tend to contract their lending activity when there are business downturns because of their concern about loan quality and repayment probability. This exacerbates the economic downturn as credit constrained businesses and individuals cut back on their real investment activity. In contrast, banks expand their lendi...

When a plane breaks the sound barrier, the noise reverberates for miles around. The advent of e-pedagogy produced no sonic boom, but the message educators are getting rings loud and clear. Technology is a potentially powerful tool for more effective teaching and deeper learning. Used wisely and well, it may break down barriers to learning that traditional classroom-based instruction has uninten...

The growth rate of business investment in information technology boomed in the 1990s and 2000 before plunging in 2001. This boom and bust raises some natural questions: what were the reasons for the accentuated swings in growth rates, and, more importantly, what do those reasons portend for the future of IT investment? Much of the increase in IT investment in the late 1990s appears to be attrib...

Innovation is the key to growth, without it, most organization would forever be stuck doing the same old things the same old way. New products, new services and new ways of doing business would never emerge. Entrepreneurship activities brings about business innovation with resultant development in enterprises which also serves as a panacea to economic growth in developing countries. Entreprene...

Most research in corporate environmental management and environmental accounting indicate a substantial gap between the espoused environmental attitudes of business leaders and the actual practices of their companies. In this paper, we apply institutional theory in an effort to explain this gap. In exploring the emerging embryonic stage of China’s environmental management issues and more specif...

This systems study takes us back to 1987, when the idea of global satellite constellations providing personal mobile communications was first conceived. We will retrace the history of Iridium and Globalstar from 1987 to 2002 and discuss the technological and business context of both systems. The technical case presents the underlying multiple access technologies and the advantages and challenge...
