When evaluating of the senior manager’s performance is based on the achieving to budget and they have responsibility to report the capacity of resources which are in their part too; it is possible to create budget slack and effect on their performance evaluation by providing pessimistic and conservatively estimates or manipulated information of income and expenses. So, Senior Manager and Budget...

A real time implementation for allocating slack to aperiodic processes in MetaH is nearing comple tion The slack scheduling algorithm used is based on the slack stealer originally proposed in with practi cal extensions to allow for support of process criticali ties multiple process streams of di erent criticalities competing for pooled slack and inclusion of run time overheads in the slack func...

In recent years, the relationship between wage growth and unemployment gap, known as Phillips curve, has been puzzlingly weak: whereas gap was low, low well. We consider two possible explanations for this ‘low puzzle’: (i) a structural change in labor market slack, (ii) failure of to adequately capture demand conditions. propose new measure slack based on survey among firms asking whether short...

This paper introduces a new methodology ensuring units invariant slack selection in radial DEA models and incorporating the slacks into an overall efficiency score. The CCR and BCC models are units invariant in their radial component, but not in their slack component, thus changing the units of measurement of one or more variables can change the models’ solution. The proposed Full Proportional ...

this paper studies the consensus problem of nonlinear leader-following multi-agent systems (mas). to do this, the error dynamics between the leader agent and follower ones are described via a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model. if the obtained ts fuzzy model is stable, then all of the nonlinear agents reach consensus. the consensus problem is investigated based on the parameterized or fuzzy lyapuno...

Introduction/Main Objectives: The performance of individuals in organizations is generally evaluated based on their success at achieving targets. Furthermore, the role budget has a major effect individual behavior preparation budget, by allowing unethical actions (budgetary slack). Background Problems: There are few studies that measure difference influence social pressure between superiors and...

We investigate the dependence of transmission losses on the choice of a slack bus in high voltage AC transmission networks. We formulate a transmission loss minimization problem in terms of slack variables representing the additional power injection that each generator provides to compensate the transmission losses. We show analytically that for transmission lines having small, homogeneous resi...

I propose a novel method of estimating the potential level of U.S. GDP in real time. The proposed wage-based measure of economic potential remains virtually unchanged when new data are released. The distance between current and potential output – the output gap – satisfies Okun’s law and outperforms many other measures of slack in forecasting inflation. Thus, I provide a robust statistical tool...
