The Rational View of Product Innovation: A Critical Investigation
This paper seeks to trace some of the roots and problems of the rational view of innovation. Concentrating primarily upon product innovation, we point out that the eighteenth century notion of social progress in the light of reason has gradually given an enormous impetus to a rational view of product innovation in modern organizations. We summarize several decades of research into management of product innovation from the rational approach, compressing and characterizing the literature by six-key policies, best practices or metaphors. The paper discusses some of the issues and problems concerning the rational approach and finally concludes with proposals for future studies.

Long Memory in Stock Returns: A Study of Emerging Markets
The present study aimed at investigating the existence of long memory properties in ten emerging stock markets across the globe. When return series exhibit long memory, it indicates that observed returns are not independent over time. If returns are not independent, past returns can help predict future returns, thereby violating the market efficiency hypothesis. It poses a serious challenge to the supporters of random walk behavior of the stock returns. Hurst-Mandelbrot's Classical R/S statistic, Lo’s statistic and semi parametric GPH statistic were computed as well as modified GPH statistic of Robinson (1995). The findings suggest existence of long memory in volatility as well as in absolute returns and random walk for asset return series in general for all the selected stock market indices. The study did not support existence of Taylor’s effect in the selected emerging markets.

Designing a Mathematical Model for Allocating Budget to University Research and Educational Goals:A Case Study in Shahed University
Institutions of higher education, both public and private, are among the most important institutions of a country. Several economic factors have forced them to act for improving the cost-effectiveness of their activities and the quality of their products (outputs) is strongly expected. Such issues have led universities to focus on profit-making activities and commercialization like manufacturing industries. This propensity is grounded in the fact that manufacturing industries working under an efficient management system can produce very high-quality products. As a matter of fact, there is no such a model for academic contexts. Therefore, this paper is aimed at offering such a model. The coefficients and constants used in this model have all been extracted based on analyzing research and educational aspects of Shahed University. The proposed model is a lexicographic model which has thirty six decision variables that are broken down into two classes of university sources variables (fifteen) ...

The article explains that the main cause of organization’s problems is CEO emotional intelligence level. I will use three models (linear regression and logistic binary regression) to examine this correlation: each model treats the relationship between emotional intelligence and one of efficiency criteria of the board. Emotional intelligence has been measured according to the Schutte self-report emotional intelligence scale (Schutte et al., 1998) with a high internal validity level. Regarding the four cognitive ...

An Empirical Analysis to Design Enhanced Customer Lifetime Value Based on Customer Loyalty:Evidences from Iranian Banking Sector
The more a marketing paradigm evolves, the more long-term relationship with customers gains its importance. Also, the move towards a customer-centred approach to marketing, coupled with the increasing availability of customer transaction data, has led to an interest in understanding and estimating customer lifetime value (CLV). There are several researches about the CLV formulas and calculating relations. But the effect of the CLV on the other departments of the organization and especially the effect of the CLV on the key parameters for organization’s profitability such as customer loyalty and satisfaction had little attention. This research is about these shortcomings and covers another essential element for organizational sustainable profitability, customer loyalty. The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate the effect of customer loyalty on the customer lifetime value.
