Management ScienceModels and Managers: The Concept of a Decision Calculus
816 Citations2004John D. C. Little
A model consists of a set of numerical procedures for processing data and judgments to assist managerial decision making and so will be called a decision calculus and an example from marketing is described.
Operations ResearchAn Operations-Research Study of Sales Response to Advertising

Operations ResearchA Media Planning Calculus
263 Citations1969John D. C. Little, Leonard M. Lodish
A convenient on-line computer system selects and schedules advertising media using a market-response model, a heuristic search routine, and a conversational input-output program that permits the use of model and heuristic at a remote console of a time-shared computer.

Management ScienceCluster Analysis in Test Market Selection
132 Citations1967Paul E. Green, Ronald E. Frank +1 more

Operations ResearchA Model of Adaptive Control of Promotional Spending
112 Citations1966John D. C. Little
The model employs a quadratic sales response function with a parameter that changes according to a first order, autoregressive process, and the optimal adaptive system involves exponential smoothing of the experimental results.

Management ScienceA Goal Programming Model for Media Planning
105 Citations1968A. Charnes, W. W. Cooper +3 more
A goal programming model for selecting media is presented which alters the objective and extends previous media models by accounting for cumulative duplicating audiences over a variety of time periods.

Management ScienceInformation Processing Model of Executive Decision
102 Citations1968John A. Howard, William Mason Morgenroth
An example of the form of the simulation of a pricing decision process is presented, a binary flow chart type, that simulates the pricing decision in a differentiated oligopolistic market.
INFORMS Journal on Applied AnalyticsEvaluation of the Effectiveness of a Model Based Salesman's Planning System by Field Experimentation
100 Citations1977William K. Fudge, Leonard M. Lodish
Combining both judgemental and objective data with a mathematical program resulted in behavioral changes which significantly improved sales performance.
Management ScienceA Probablistic Market Model of Purchase Timing and Brand Selection
95 Citations1971Jerome Herniter
A stochastic model of consumer purchase behavior for frequently purchased, low cost products is developed and the model's predictions of various aggregate purchase timing statistics and repeat purchase sequences are empirically verified.
Operations ResearchThe Dynamics of Brand Loyalty: A Markovian Approach
91 Citations1962Frank Harary, Benjamin Lipstein
It is demonstrated that the set of all brands of a particular product category can be validly regarded as a concrete case of an abstract Markov chain.
Operations ResearchA Stochastic Model of Supermarket Traffic Flow
74 Citations1966John U. Farley, L. Winston Ring
A model to predict area-to-area transition probabilities for traffic in supermarkets is developed and results indicate that the model is useful for traffic analysis both in a given store and for analysis of hypothetical store layouts.
DSpace@MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)SPRINTER: a model for the analysis of new frequently purchased consumer products
73 Citations1969Glen L. Urban
A model-based information system is presented which is designed to analyze test-market results, to assist decision-making for a new frequently purchased consumer product, and to serve as an adaptive control mechanism during national introduction.

Operations ResearchMathematical Models in Marketing
44 Citations1967S. K. Gupta, K. S. Krishnan
Four models are discussed when the market potential is independent of both price and promotional effort and when it is dependent on either or both of the controllable variables.
Operations ResearchCustomer Behavior As a Markov Process
43 Citations1961Jerome Herniter, John F. Magee
Characteristic behavior of the Markov model is compared with published data, and areas for further analytical and experimental effort are indicated.
Management ScienceA Graph Theory Approach to Comparing Consumer Information Processing Models
35 Citations1971James R. Bettman
The need for graph theoretic approaches for comparing complex information processing models of individual decisions is argued, and two similarity coefficients are proposed, and a coefficient based on path and reachability structure is shown to be preferable.

Operations ResearchSome Multi-Contract Decision-Theoretic Competitive Bidding Models
35 Citations1971Robert M. Stark, Robert H. Mayer
This paper reviews the principal public literature concerned with expected-profit decision-theoretic closed-competitive-bidding models and makes extensions of previous formulations for static multi-contract bidding situations with and without cost dependencies and resource constraints.
