                      A+J+O uses quantitative stock picking engines based on statistical stock return anomalies. They use neither outside research nor soft dollars.

                              Laurence and Ralph: The Basic Economics of Capacity and Inventory

                              Laurence & Ralph (L&R) is not a case, per se, but a note on the classical Newsboy Problem. This type of problem is exemplary in capacity or inventory economics. It occurs every time a product needs to be ordered or service capacity needs to be set when demand in the forthcoming sales or service period is uncertain.

                                  Honeywell Buys Measurex - Debt Equity Choice

                                  This mini-case focuses on the use of debt to finance Honeywell's acquisition of Measurex in 1997. The financing appeared surprising because the stock market was booming, and Honeywell's investment bankers were urging it to use equity. The case affords the opportunity to explore the debt-equity choice, without having to get bogged down in numbers.
