A mathematical model of the business system that links innovation of products and services to financial growth represents both investment and revenue as a series of overlapping waves, thus more directly capturing the lagged relationship between investment and revenue growth over time. By teasing out some of the underlying non-obvious relationships, the approach provides important and often counterintuitive insights into the roles that early learning, staffing decisions, and investments in process improvements and services can play in improving the income-to-investment ratio. Executives and managers will be able to directly correlate many of their actions to results, shedding light into the black box of innovation effectiveness.

This article describes a collaborative approach initiated by the Monfort Institute at the University of Northern Colorado to engage high-level practitioners of performance excellence and academic researchers to: a) identify the external and internal dilemmas facing practitioners in high-performing organizations; b) develop a purposeful research agenda that addresses both the needs and interests of practitioners and researchers; and c) develop a concept of operations to address the research agenda. High-performing organizations face many external pressures from customers, investors, suppliers and partners, and the public. In addition, they face internal challenges including leadership and work force turnover, cultural challenges, and limited understanding of the continuous refinement and...

Ann E. Berthoff's Forming/Thinking/Writing presents reading and writing as pedagogically inseparable. It establishes a foundation for reading and writing in the ordinary activities of observing and naming the world. Here, Bruss examines the philosophical antecedents of Berthoff's work, especially her interests in Charles Sanders Pierce. He makes explicit the influence of Peirce upon Berthoff's body of work and traces the influences that helped to shape Peirce's ideas, which played a significant role in the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863.

Over the past two decades, the multidimensional model of quality attributes that is often referred to as "Kano's theory of attractive quality" (Kano et al. 1984) has gained increasing exposure and acceptance among academics and practitioners alike. Despite this, no research has provided a systematic review of the subsequent development of this theory since its introduction. The aims of this study are: a) to synthesize and organize the extant literature on the subject; and b) to suggest areas that require further research. A review was conducted of 33 papers related to the theory of attractive quality. The content of these papers was analyzed and theoretical and methodological research themes were identified. The study revealed several interesting developments with respect to methodologi...

Algebra students may often demonstrate a certain degree of proficiency when manipulating algebraic expressions and verbalizing their behaviors. Do these abilities imply conceptual understanding? What is a reliable indicator that would provide educators with a relatively trustworthy and consistent measure to identify whether students learn algebraic concepts beyond procedures? The article introduces taxonomy for assessing middle school algebra students' levels of understanding of linear equations with one unknown. The taxonomy is rooted in ideas related to the degree of abstraction and reducing level of abstraction, theory of operational and structural conception, and the concept of representation in mathematics education.
