Perspectives of Executives and Students on Leadership Characteristics for Healthcare Managers: Does a Gap Exist?

Preparing healthcare managers for the complexity of the healthcare industry poses a heavy challenge on healthcare organizations, CEOs, managers, and educational institutions. In order to ensure that future healthcare managers are prepared to enter the workforce, it is important that the characteristics and skills deemed important by current CEOs in the field are similar to those of undergraduate healthcare management students that will be entering the workforce

On feasible and infeasible search for equitable graph coloring

An equitable legal k-coloring of an undirected graph G = (V, E) is a partition of the vertex set V into k disjoint independent sets, such that the cardinalities of any two independent sets differ by at most one (this is called the equity constraint). As a variant of the popular graph coloring problem (GCP), the equitable coloring problem (ECP) involves finding a minimum k for which an equitable legal k-coloring exists. In this paper, we present a study of searching both feasible and infeasible solutions with respect to the equity constraint. The resulting algorithm relies on a mixed search strategy exploring both equitable and inequitable colorings unlike existing algorithms where the search is limited to equitable colorings only. We present experimental results on 73 DIMACS and COLOR benchmark graphs and demonstrate the competitiveness of this search strategy by showing 9 improved best-known results (new upper bounds)

Gravity for FDI

Gravity equations explaining foreign affiliates’ sales are ad hoc and hence, estimated coefficients are hard to interpret. We therefore provide the theoretical underpinnings of the gravity equation applied to the analysis of sales of foreign affiliates of multinational firms. We argue that the success of the gravity equation results from the fact that it can be derived from various theoretical models. We illustrate this point by deriving a gravity equation from three different models of multinational firms. Using data on real affiliate sales, we show how this derived gravity equation can nevertheless be used to discriminate between the different theoretical models
