(a)

Library resources

You have asked me to explain the library resources needed for

this course. There will not be any major need for new acquisitions

for this course, because the library already has the most important

materials relating to the topic. The course was offered as a special

seminar in 76-3 and in 77-3, and the instructors involved have found

the library holdings essentially adequate.

(b)

Faculty resources

Offering this course on a regular basis will not cause disruptions

to our existing curriculum because we have been adding new faculty

in the last two years.

?

CHANGE OF 'REQUIREMENTS

Degree Requi r'ements

?

From:2.

l

Written qualifying examination in

three fields. ?

For students specializing

in Economics, these fields will consist eithe

of s"eparate micro- and macroeconomic theory

fields and one other fieldin Economics or

a combined macro and microeconomic theory

field and two other fields in Economics.

The other fields in Economics in which

qualifying examinations are normally given

are 'econometric, mathematical economics,

international economics, public economics,

economic history, development economics

regional economics, resource economics and

labour economics. ?

Qualifying examinations

in economic theory usually encompass the

topics and readings covered by ECON 800,

ECO'N 801,'HON 805, ECON 806 and the

"Departmental Economic Theory Reading

Guidelines." ?

Examinations in other fields

?

normally encompass the topics and readings

pres'en'ted in the main courses in those

fi-elds and 'the appropriate "Departmental

Field 'Reading Guidelines."

To: ?

2. ?

Successful performance in written

qualifying examinations.

?

Students specializ-

ing in Economics mus't write qualifying

'exami'natio'ns in economic 'theory and one other

major 'fi'eld

in

Economics. ?

In addition,

s'tuden'ts specializing in Economics must

complete a minor field either by successfully

taking two cou-rses (other than Reading

courses) or a 'qualifying examination in the

minor field. The economic theory qualifying

examination will consist of separate

examinations in micro- and macroeconomic

'theory and will 'usually encompass the topics

and readings covered by ECON 800, ECON 801,

ECON 805, ECON 806 and the "Departmental

Economic Theory Reading Guidelines".

Qualifying examinations in other fields

normally encompass the topics and readings

presented in the main courses in those

fields and the appropriate ''Departmental

Field Reading Guidelines:.

?

The fields in

Economics in which courses and qualifying

examinations are normally given are economic

theory, econometrics, intern'ational economics,

---

public economics, economic history, develo

merit economics, regional economics, resourc

economics and labour economics."

RATIONALE: The following changes have been propose

under point 2 of the Ph.D. degree requirements o,n

page 53 of the Graduate Studies Calendar:

1. ?

That Ph.D. students specializing in Economics

?

should all be required to take:

a.

a qualifying examination in economic theory

This examination is to consist of separate

examinations in micro- and macro-economic

theory.

b.

a qualifying examination in one other major

field in Economics.

c.

a minor field. This reuirement may be me

either by courses or byqualifying examinat

Previously, Ph.D. students specializing in Economi

were required to take either:

a.

separate qualifying examination in micro an

macro-economic theory and in one other fiel

in Economics, or

b.

Qualifying examinations in a combined micro

macro-economic field and

in

two other

fields in Economics.

The reasons for these changes are:

(i) Experience has shown that as much preparati

was required for the qualifying examination

in the combined theory field as for the

separate theory examinations.

?

The previous

?

system was unfair to students taking the

combined theory field

(ii)Experience indicates that separate four hou

examinations in micro- and macro-economic

theory are needed in order to provide fair

and adequate examination at the Ph.D. level

(iii)In addition to qualifying in economic theor

and a second major field, Ph.D. candidates

should also qualify in a third (minor)

field in order to enhance their employment

prospects. ?

Generally, this ,requirement for

10

?

a minor field will be met by taking two

courses in a field and will not add to the

number of courses required of Ph.D. candida

In cases where two courses (other than

---

Reading courses) are not offered in the

candidate's minor field, he will be

required to take aqualifying examination

in his minor field.

2. Mathematical economics is excluded from the list

in which courses and qualifying examinations are

given. The reason for excluding mathematical economic

from this list is that we do not have, and do not

expect to obtain, the faculty required to teach

mathematical economics at the Ph.D. level.

CHANGE OF REQUIREMENTS

FROM: ?

"Qualifying examinations usually will be

?

taken after completion of appropriate course work

and/or other preparation, but a student may sit

for an examination after the first semester

following formal admission to the Ph.D. program

This may be done whether or not specific courselw

recommended by the department as partial preparatlo

for the examination have been taken. A candidate

may be permitted to take a

?

alifying examinaticr

a second time but will not/rmjtted to take it

a third time. One qualifying examination in

economic

1

theory must be written within three

semester and must be passed within four academic

semesters of beginning the Ph.D. program.

?

All

attempts at qualifying examinations must be

completed within six academic semesters of

'beginning the Ph.D. program.

recommended by the department as partial

preparation for the examination have been taken."

RATIONALE: The time constraints previously imposed

on Ph.D. candidates for the completion of qual ifyi

examinations will be removed.

?

This change reflects

?

a previous decision by the Graduate Curriculum

Committee not to limit the number of times a student

may attempt a qualifying examination.

AN OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE MBA PROGRAM

Apart from minor, editorial type revision of course descriptions and

titles, there are three changes being proposed. These are (1) explicit

reference to proficiency requirements in mathematics, statistics, micro-

economic principles, and accounting; (2) the introduction of two elective

courses for all candidates; and (3) the addition of three new courses to

the list of regular NBA offerings.

With respect to the first change, course instructors have traditionally

required and expected prior preparation in quantitative methods, economics,:

and accounting. The proposed change merely formalizes this requirement

and provides a vehicle for insuring that the requisite proficiency has

been attained. Examinations or professional qualifications will be used

to certify students and non-credit courses, together with self-study mat-

erials will be made available for those wishing to sharpen their skills

before taking the examinations.

With respect to the second change, all students now take the same

ten courses and write a Research Project. We propose to require eight

prescribed courses and two electives. The purpose is to introduce a

limited degree of flexibility to better tailor the Program to individual

student needs. it is also intended that students will probe more deeply

into subjects directly related to their Research Projects. It should be

noted that, in addition to the regularly listed MBA courses, students

will now be permitted to take equivalent graduate course work elsewhere

in the University, provided they have prior Program Committee approval.

With respect to the third change, the increased flexibility referred

to above is accomplished by moving two courses (MBA 621 - Management In-

formation Systems, and NBA 695 - Methods of Research) from required to

---

£ ? b

elective status, permission to take courses elsewhere, and the introduction

of three new MBA courses. The addition of three courses does not entail

the commitment of additional faculty resources since the total number of

assignments remains unchanged. Whereas previously NBA 621 and MBA 695

were team taught, necessitating five faculty assignments, these courses

and the three new ones being proposed will henceforth be taught by in-

dividual faculty.

The reason that NBA 621 and NBA 695 were dropped as requirements,

as opposed to other candidate courses, was that under the new arrange-

ments (especially the closer link between electives and Research Pro-

jects) they were deemed to be the least essential to maintain.

the original description provided. This narrower

focus was found to be the only practical way to teach

the course.

The library has the standard reference works in the commerce and

economics fields, one of which is Business information sources, by Lorna

Daniells, Librarian of the Baker Library at Harvard. Attached is a copy

of her chapter on management science and statistical methods, which lists

core books, reference works, abstracting services and periodicals, with

SFU holdings indicated.

BOOKS

It can be seen from Daniells' small but representative sample that

SFU Library has good holdings of books in this area. There are approximately

300 titles listed in the card catalogue under the heading "Decision-making",

most of them in the following classification categories:

HD 20.4 ?

Management - operations research aspects

HD 69 D4 ?

Management - decision-making aspects

HM 251 ?

Group decision-making

HF 5006 ?

Utility theory - mathematical models

T 57.7 ?

Mathematical programming

HB 74

?

Economic choice

In addition there are books on decision-making in higher education,

classified with education in LB, decision-making in public administration,

classified in JL, etc.

12 bibliographies are listed under "Decision-making - Bibliographies". Copies

of these catalogue cards are on the enclosed sheets marked "Card catalogue".

10 titles are listed under the heading "Decision logic tables."

There are 75 titles in the card catalogue under the heading "Statistical

decision", in the following areas:

QA 270's ?

Probability and statistical decision-making

October 25, 1977

I should add that Kit Silcox spoke to me recently about the importance of

material on decision-making for his courses, so I had a list checked and

ordered some recent titles from it. These should now be in process.

INDEXES AND ABSTRACTING SERVICES

SFU Library has all those mentioned in Daniells' list. In addition,

articles appear in the following indexes and abstracts under headings such

as "Decision analysis", "Decision theory", and "Decisionmaking":

Canadian Business Periodicals Index

Public Affairs Information Service. Bulletin.

Social Science Citation Index

Business Periodicals Index

Work Related Abstracts

Personnel Literature

A.G. ,

Bush Library Abstracts

Personnel Management Abstracts

Accountants' Index

?

.

These are described and holdings listed in the attached library guide Commerce

indexes, abstracts and loose-leaf services. Further references are available

through Bibliographic Index (see attached pages from 1975 and 1976 volumes).

PPTflnTCAT c

The library lacks 3 titles mentioned by Daniells, 2 in the operations

research field. Backfiles would have to be completed for several other titles.

The library has good supporting files of other periodicals such as Administrative

Science Quarterly, Management Decision, Econometrica, etc.

CONCLUSION

In general, it appears that the library's holdings of books and reference

materials would be adequate to support a 600-level course on decision analysis.

If the course is approved, periodical holdings should be strengthened by adding

at least 2 more titles and filling in existing backfiles. Estimated expenditure

for backfiles would be between $500 and $1000.

C) Inter- organizatioial processes in power, conflict and bargaining.

Organizations pursuing dissimilar goals.

Here the student will focus upon transactions between and among

business and other organizations pursuing dissimilar goals in the

wider organizational environment. Cases ad studies selected for

analysis may look at the relationships between organized labour

and specific industries, and the relationships between regulatory

agencies and business.

This course is intended to provide a practical synthesisfor

students seeking to come to terms with the organizational dynamics

of the power, conflict and bargaining processes at work with-in

differing behavioural systems.

?

To achieve this end, the readings

and discussions will bring relevant readings in history, sociolcigy,

anthropology and social, psychology to bear upon an analysis of

power, conflict and bargaining.

Proposal for a Course on

Pay ?

Theory and Practice

.Justification

A major problem facing managers i.s distribution of the

payroll., especially so in this phase of inflation and the need

to stabilize incomes and prices. My experience of teaching

managers is that they want not only academic theorising on such

matters but they also want to learn what they, as managers, can

do in their own firms. Avoidance of poor industrial relations

over pay anomalies, even strikes (in this strike-prone Province)

is surely desirable. This course is designed to give them help

of an immediate nature.

?

Furthermore, it could form the basis-

?

from work analysis- of a variety of projects for the final year

submission.

Experience

As you know I have published books and papers on this

subject and have installed pay plans in many parts of the world.

At present I am assisting our Ministry of Education on pay

structures for schools and colleges.

Library Resources

.

?

?

The texts named in the following outline are standard and

?

in the library. These would be augmented by illustrative and

discursive material from the many cases in my own experience,

as for instance, from the Ministry of Education analysis mentioned.

Outline of Course

There are three parts which would be distributed over the

12 session course fairly equally:

PART ITHE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME

1. THEORIES OF PAY

a)

?ay (wages and salaries), methods of payment, time payments,

measured day work, payment by results, incentives, hours of

work, fringe benefits.

?

Relativities, differentials, basic

pa' and earnings defined.

b)

Economic theories on relativities; industrial, regional,

Occupation, age, sex, wage levels in 'tight' or 'loose'

markets, ?

Hicks, Reynolds, Florence.

---

-2-

?

.

c)

Economic theories on differentials; skilled versus unskilled',

qualifications, apprenticeship, labour market, changing tech-

nologies.

?

Dunlop, Robertson.

d)

Psychological theories on differentials; capacity for discrim-

mating expenditure and congruency with needs. .Taques.

e)

Sociological theories on differentials and relativiries; dist-

ribution of innate capacities and social selection. Wootton.

f)

Socio-economic theory on differentials; concept: of a 'fair

day"s wage for a fair day's work', evaluation

of

the pay for

domestic needs, and congruence with evaluation of pay for

status and prestige needs at work. Paterson.

2.

WAGE LEVEL AND WAGE POLICY

in Depression: Keynes

in Inflation: Guillebaud, Hicks, the American Assembly.

3.

WAGE SETTLEMENT

Collective bargaining, conciliation, mediation, arbitration,

facilitation. Sliding scales. COLA agreements. Fringe benefits.

The problem of relativities as necessarily based on differentials.

Bargaining on relativities concerned mainly with marginal elements

of conditions, labour market and tradition. The concep of parity.

Understanding of differentials necessary to understanding relativ-

ities,

4. DIFFERENTIALS

a)

Basic pay and earnings.

?

Confusion of value of 101) itself to

the firm, market value of the job holders, market value of

conditions. Value of the job itself as basic pay. Provided

this determined (as near as possible objectively) the others

are bargained.

b)

The theory of differentials and its universality. Work as

kinds of decision, organized in decision bands. The exponen-

tial distribution of basic pays in any enterprise. Payroll

and pay structure. Failure to conform with theory leads to

poor industrial relations.

c)

International comparisons -- rel.

'

ativities -- based on differ-

entials. ?

A re-statement of the Pareto distribution; not

stochastic.

GRADUATE CALENDAR ENTRY

1978-1979

??

Change of Descrip-FROM: "At least one of the student's minor

?

tion: areas must be in literature preceding the

nineteenth century."

TO: "At least one of the student's four areas

should include the study of a substantial

number of works written before 1800.

RATIONALE:

The Graduate Calendar currently states that "At

least one of the student's minor areas must be

in literature proceding in nineteenth century."

This presentstwo problems: first, the intent of

the wording seems to have been that one of the

Student's four areas must be pre-1800;

?

second,

this wording tends to dictate that at least one

minor field must be defined in chronological terms.

In order to overcome these obstacles, it should

be understood that one of the student's four

areas should include the study of a substantial

number of works written before 1800. The change

of Wording makes it clear.

P. 70

?

Examination ?

FROM:"Before the end of the third semester the

student must take four written examinations, with

the option of submitting an essay in lieu of one

of them on a topic in one of the minor areachos.en

in consultation with the senior supervisor. One

of the written examinations

must be on the major area. Works of literature

and scholarship on which the examination is

centered must be specified by the Senior Superviso

six months in advance of any examination, unless

the student waives this requirement.

?

Before the

?

end of the semester following that in which all

wri

tten-examinations have been passed, the

student is examined orally in the major area and

two of the minor areas.

?

Should the student

?

fail any part of either the written or the oral

examination, the Graduate Program Committee may

give permission for reexamination on that part

no later than one semester after the failure."

TO: "Before the end of the fifth semester the

student must take four written examinations, at

least one of these by the end of the third

semester. ?

The major area and at least one minor

area must be examined formally.

?

One of the three

?

minor field examinations must be written as an

essay on a topic chosen in consultation with

the examiners and the senior supervisor; a second

---

minor field may be examined with an essay, by

agreement of the examiners and the supervisor.

Works of literature and scholarship on which

the examination is centered must be specified

by the Senior Supervisor six months in advance

of any examination, unless the student waives

this requirement. Within two weeks from the

date on which each formal or essay examination

is passed the student is examined orally in

the area covered by the examination.

?

In cases

?

where the mark has been deferred until the ora

examination, the latter will be chaired by the

Graduate Program Chairman or his deputy.

?

Shou?

the student fail any part of either the writte

or the oral examination, the Graduate Program

Committee may give permission for re-examinatit:

on that part no later than one semester after

the failure."

RATIONALE: ?

It has proved unreasonable to expect

?

students to have completed all four examinations

by the third semester in residence. The new

wording states that at least one examination shoul

be completed by the third semester and the rest

by the fifth. Because students are not required

to take formal seminars, it has seemed advantageot

to students and faculty, to require one minor fiel

examination in essay format, with an option to ta

the second in the same manner. The major field

and at least one minor field are still examined

formally. ?

The calendar description of the oral

examination is ambiguous: it may be read to mean

that no oral be held until all written examinatior

have been completed, and even that a single oral

be held to cover three of the four fields (but

always including the major).

?

Yet it is felt such

?

reading does not reflect the spirit of the statemE

Because of the highly individualistic nature of

the program, and of the extension now of the

examination period over five semesters, it has

seemed advantageous to both parties to arrange an

oral to follow immediately on the completion of ea

field examination, with no option to omit one mine

field, and to regard the oral in each case not as

a final hurdle but as an extension of the wirtten

and a check upon it. The device for providing a

neutral chairman of an oral in doubtful cases is

included in the interests of fairness to the stude

Department of History - Graduate Calendar Entry

AREAS OF STUDY - Page 81

FROM; ?

The Department of History offers opportunities for graduate

research leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. For the M.A.

degree, the major areas of study are Canada, the Americas, Europe,

and Afro-Asia. For the Ph.D. degree, the major areas of study are

Colonialism and Imperialism, Canada, Afro-Asia, and Europe. Only

those students who wish to specialize in one of the specific fields

within these general areas (as listed on the following page) will

be considered for admission to the M.A. or Ph.D. programs. Although

the student's stated research priority may conform to one of the

specializations listed, the department reserves the right to accept

candidates within a specialization only when a qualified supervisor

is available and university resources (including library facilities)

are deemed adequate.

RATIONALE: ?

We have suppressed the distinction between major fields

of study for the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.

?

The "Americas"

are now offered at both the M.A. and Ph.D. levels.

?

There

are two reasons for this:

1)

We are already offering fields of study at the Ph.D.

level in the Americas under the title of Colonial and

Imperial Studies (European Expansion into the Americas,

and Imperialism and new Colonialism in Modern Latin

America).

2)

We have developed strong faculty in the areas: two

Associate Professor in U.S., and two Latin America

and now feel capable of doctoral supervision in both

U.S., (2 Associates, 2 Assistants) and in Latin Ame-rica

(2 Associates complemented by a strong Latin American

area studies program).

APPFN1flTY A

Outline of the Course

This course will examine in detail various conceptions and approaches

to the study of political development. It will also take a hard look

at various dominant models used towards the understanding of political

developint and explore the possibility of bringing to bear fresh

approaches which may overcare ethnocentric biases. For this purpose

the course will analyse in detail specific themes and issues in the

contexts of developing societies and evaluate the explanatory capacities

of certain theoretical frameworks.

APPENDIX B

An indication of the competence of the Faculty members to give the

course:

M. Covell, Ph.D. (Yale)

Her research has been in the field of popular participation in the

Malagasy Republic. She is also interested in problems of political

development in African countries.

T. Cohn, Ph.D. (Michigan)

His area of specialization includes the politics of foreign aid and

trade, global food issues, econamic and political development, and

international organizations through which aid is channelled to develop-

ing countries.

A.H. Sanjee, Ph.D. (London)

He has extensive field-work experience in developing countries. His

main area of research has been in the field of democratic process

in developing societies and he has examined rural as well as urban

societies fran the point of view of the growth of political capacities

in those societies. His longitudinal research in certain caiinunities

has helped to test rigorously certain theoretical assumptions about

political development.

Differentiation of this course from others closely related

(1) from the "Seminar in Measurement"

The new course deals much more directly with the applications of a small group

of techniques to real situations; part of the course requirement consists of training

students to a criterion of competence in the actual use of particular tests. This

makes the new course significantly different from the Seminar in Measurement which

deals virtually exclusively with theoretical issues.

There really is no other course in the department with a similar focus.
