• Chinese Executives' Assessment of Organization Development Interventions

Three cohorts of Chinese executives, attending an Executive MBA program in the United States, were surveyed regarding their opinions of 16 common organization development interventions. The survey, translated to Mandarin, queried on how willing Chinese business executives are to adopt each intervention as well as the efficacy of each intervention. Of the 16, only one intervention (Management By Objectives) was clearly regarded as acceptable while four were generally considered unacceptable (Role Negotiation, Confrontation Meeting, Third Party Consultation, and Organization Mirror). With regard to perceived effectiveness, four interventions (Management By Objectives, Quality of Work Life, Team Building, Career Development) received favorable scores. A strong relationship between the perc...

• The Last Laugh

It's easy to ridicule management initiatives because they change all the time. One day it's "management by objectives," then it's "total quality management," then "business process reengineering" or "balanced score cards" or "business cases." But if one collapses all the phrases into their underlying concepts, then there are only a few themes. One is the use of performance measures to improve results ("management by objectives," "balanced score cards," and "business cases"). This one is particularly important in government, where bureaucratic rules often serve as a substitute for focusing on results. Another theme is to get the organization to focus on customers and taxpayers rather than the organization itself ("total quality management" and "business process reengineering"). A third t...

• The Role of Executive Stock Options in Reit Repurchases

This paper examines the relationship between managerial stock option holdings and the decision to announce a repurchase of the firm's common stock. Managerial stock option holdings should reinforce the traditional undervaluation, free cash flow, and capital structure motives for repurchases by helping to align the objectives of management and shareholders. Data from the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) industry during the peak period of repurchase activity (1997-1999) are used to estimate a logit model of the decision to announce a repurchase program. After controlling for the standard motivations discussed in the literature, the findings reveal that managerial option holdings are positively related to the likelihood of a repurchase announcement.

• Anatomy of a Real Estate Fund

In many ways, managing a property for a real estate fund is just like managing property for any other owner. The real estate fund manager needs to have a clear understanding of the fund's goals and objectives for the property and its ability to provide cash for the property's operations, planned renovations or correction of deferred maintenance. Allocating funding for tenant improvement costs or leasing commission expenses is essential as is having an exit strategy for the property. The fund manager serves as the general partner or managing member of the fund and makes all investment decisions on its behalf. Understanding how real estate funds are structured and how they seek to execute their investment strategies for their investors can help the real estate manager provide excellent se...
