Abstract:

Motivation: Various brand equity measures have been proposed in extant literature. Few researches have explored the theoretical similarities, differences and relationship between different brand equity measures. In the thesis, I will explore two types of brand equity measures, namely customer mind-set measures and product-market performance measures. In particular, I will look at: 1) the correlation between the two types of measures; 2) which measure reflects the underlying brand equity construct better; 3) the impacts of marketing mix elements on the two types measures respectively; and 4) th

Abstract:

This thesis presents the findings from two case study examinations of strategic performance measurement systems within two turbulent environmental contexts: the U.S. security software industry and the U.S. health care industry. Despite a three-‐decade emphasis on performance measurement research, little empirical work has been carried out inside turbulent settings—contexts characterized by rapid change, high levels of instability and complex configurations among environmental variables. This research targets that gap. Through exploratory case studies from seven security software firms paired

Abstract:

In this thesis, we address the action retrieval and the object category segmentation problems by directly optimizing application specific performance measures using deep learning. Most deep learning methods are designed to optimize simple loss functions (e.g., cross-entropy or hamming loss). These loss functions are suitable for applications where the performance of the application is measured by overall accuracy. But for many applications, the overall accuracy is not an appropriate performance measure. For example, applications like action retrieval often use the area under the Receiver Opera

Based on the premise that psi information is initially processed at an unconscious level, parapsychologists have repeatedly drawn parallels between subliminal perception and extrasensory perception. For instance, defensiveness - resistance to, or distortion of, unpleasant or threatening information - has been considered to affect both subliminal and extrasensory perception. This thesis reviews studies suggesting a relationship between 'defensiveness' and psi performance, and reports the outcome of a meta-analysis of a subset of these studies that used the Defence Mechanism Test as a measure of

To increase the efficiency the organisations have to analyse their processes and by doing that, gaps and bottlenecks can be found.

Furthermore, in order for organisations to maintain competitive performance measurement systems can be used.

博士<br>國立交通大學<br>工業工程與管理系所<br>92<br>To remain competitiveness in global business environment, the major parties in the supply chain should be integrated and managed effectively to respond to customer needs. Thus, the efficiency of the entire supply chain is a main concern, and is determined by the members of that supply chain. Suppliers’ performance measuring thus becomes one of the key steps in supply chain construction. This study applies the Throughput Dollar-Days index (TDD index) proposed by Goldratt (1990) to measure the supplier performance. TDD index can replace other complicated key

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>工業工程與管理系所<br>101<br>Conventional performance evaluation models are efficiency-oriented, which prefer to use fewer resources to produce more outputs. Following this logic, labor is a resource to be minimized. However, a recent trend reveals that the unemployment remains severe although the performance based on conventional viewpoint indicates a recovery from the financial crisis. The unemployment and wealth disparity becomes an immediate threat to the stability worldwide. To address this issue, this research investigates relative performance of industries in Taiwan based on data
