Though constructed with different purposes, the theory of constraints and activity based costing systems pose a choice problem in respect of product mix decisions. We believe that the existing explanation of short versus long run criterion to explain firms' choice between these two systems is incomplete and offer an alternate explanation based on asset specificity. We argue that the extent to which specialized resources are deployed to make products in a mix determines the choice. We present a 2*2 matrix stating that when asset specificity is high, a firm is likely to choose ABC instead of TOC since ABC makes a large portion of costs visible to enable control. However, the choice is likely to be a TOC-ABC combination when the manufacture of asset specific products is also constrained by...

In order for a firm to grow, the firm must often implement various growth-oriented projects. After a number of new project ideas have been generated, the initial list of ideas is screened and those ideas that are inconsistent with the organization's strategy or are otherwise deemed inappropriate are eliminated from consideration. Ideas that survive the initial screening process are then examined for financial feasibility using any or all of the recognized capital budgeting techniques to select which projects should be pursued and funded. However, financial projections are all too often made on the assumption of "all else being equal." The significance of marketing activities that may determine-or increase-the value of a particular project under consideration by a firm, is seldom directl...

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...
