This paper explores the accounting environment in China both prior to and after the start of the economic reforms; as well as identifies the significant differences between the accounting standards in China and those in the U.S. While it is likely that the accounting system in China will be one that is functional in this global economy; the system will be one that is unique to China.Item Adaptive Selling, Buyer-Seller Similarity and Intermediate Sales Goals: A Causal Path Analysis(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1988) Dion, Paul AThis paper reports the results of a causal path analysis of a partial model of salesperson performance. The results were obtained by measuring both buyer and seller views of shared trade relationships. Adaptive selling was shown not to be a major influence on performance although it had some effect when mediated by salesperson resources. The links between performance and intermediate sales goals such as perceived similarity, expertise, trust and liking of the seller were significant. Perceived similarity of the seller was shown to be effective only when working through trust and liking. Lastly, buyer-seller similarity in weight, but not height, was strongly linked to sales performance.Item After the Election: Some Financial Speculation for the 1990s(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1988-10) Peterson, Jerrold MItem Alcoholism in Discipline: A Dilemma in Arbitration(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1979) Boyer, John W., JrItem Alternative Approaches to Thinking about Economic Development(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1996) Lichty, Richard W; Maki, Wilbur RMuch of past thinking about economic development started with a traditional low-income rural agricultural economy losing its workforce to higher-paying jobs in the new, modern industrial sector. Hirschman and others proposed an alternative strategy for economic development in his unbalanced growth theory that focused on an industry rather than an entire sector or two of a developing nation's economy. Hirschman not only highlighted, but emphasized in significant ways, the role and importance of the private sector in economic development. Putnam and others take the social capital approach to economic development. We offer still another way of thinking about economic development strategy that builds on the activities within a local labor market area and its institutions for constructively engaging an active, public-spirited local citizenry. The local labor market approach contrasts with the earlier ways of thinking about economic development by its attention to local institutions in building a civic workforce. This functional community serves as a building block for defining an economic region composed of several labor market areas, of which one or more form its core area, while the more distant ones form its periphery. This approach provides the conceptual environment for building a model for local economic development.Item Alternative Views of the Buyer-Seller Interaction Process: The Sales and Trader Models(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1986) Dion, Paul A; Mitchell, Ted JItem Alternatives to Petroleum Based Fuel for Marine Vessels(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2006) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Hochsprung, Paul; Malik, Nitya; Slegh, David; Martopullo, Ela; Linde, Nicholas; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem An Efficiency Analysis of Minnesota Counties: A Data Envelopment Analysis Using 1993 IMPLAN Input-output Analysis(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1996-12) Raab, Raymond L; Lichty, Richard WData Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a multi-input, multi-output optimization model used to measure relative efficiency or the best practice counties. The IMPLAN input-output 1993 database and software estimates gross output, final demand, and final payments categories at the county level. The IMP LAN data contains estimates of four forms of final payments. Transfer payments are added as inputs but are taken from a separate source. IMPLAN also includes four forms of final demand as outputs. These inputs and outputs form a production frontier of "best practice" counties. Deviations below the frontier will be used to measure the degree of county inefficiencies based upon minimizing the use of inputs and maximizing the sale of outputs. Measurement of relative county efficiencies allow comparison between urban core counties, suburban transitional counties and rural periphery counties. County comparisons of returns to scale verify the existing body of land rent theories. Agglomeration economies measured by DEA efficiency scores and returns to scale measured by DEA frontier intercepts imply that location and urbanization economies are largest in urban core counties and that their effects diminish as distance from the core increases.Item Analysis of Duluth-Superior and Peer Metropolitan Areas(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2018) Haynes, Monica; Hook, Alexander; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Ecklund, HattieItem An Analysis of Factors Affecting the Levels of Retail Sales in Winnepeg, Ontario, and Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada: A Threshold Analysis(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1987) Dysvick, Ronald H; Lichty, Richard WItem The Analysis of Labor Productivity Effects on Regional Growth(Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1987) O'Brien, A.
