Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work / W. Richard Goe / It has been assumed that community college students are comprised of students who are either not ready for the rigors of a four-year college experience and/or students who are only interested in receiving a degree in a technical field. With concerns of rising debt, largely associated with colleges being forced to turn to tuition as a major revenue source, the validity of these assumptions merits a better understanding to how the economic atmosphere has changed the demographics of students at a two-year institution, let alone the demographics of an honors student population. Further, little-to-no analysis has looked at the effects of the ascriptive characteristics of students beyond parent’s income and occupation in determining academic success in a two-year honors program. To answer these concerns, I examine how institutional, family, and individual level factors affect the successful completion of an honors program by students attending a two-year junior college. It is the objective of this research to arrive at a better understanding of two primary questions: first, what are the characteristics and backgrounds of honors students at a two-year college; second, what are the determinants of academic success at a two-year honors program? It is hypothesized that exposure to cultural capital by students, prior to and while attending junior college, is important in facilitating academic success. Quantitative methodology is used to examine the research questions and test the study hypotheses concerning the effects of cultural capital on successful completion from a two-year college honors program. Data were collected from college students enrolled in the honors program at Tyler Junior College, a two-year college located in Tyler, Texas. The findings report that exposure to culture capital does have a positive effect on students’ graduating from a two-year college honors program.

Dans un contexte marketing régi aujourd’hui par le paradigme relationnel, les enjeux se regroupent autour de trois aspects stratégiques : une bonne connaissance des clients, une allocation optimale des ressources limitées et une mesure fiable de la performance. Deux courants de recherche concernant le Capital Client peuvent être distingués : d’une part, celui dédié à son estimation à travers l’étude et l’estimation du comportement client, d’autre part, celui dédié à sa maximisation à travers l’identification des stratégies marketing optimales. Cette recherche se situe à la confluence de ces courants, son but étant d’analyser dans quelle mesure l’association de la segmentation probabiliste prédictive de la clientèle et de la modélisation de la persistance des impacts des actions marketing, peut constituer un dispositif pertinent pour l’optimisation de l’effort marketing. Des hypothèses concernant le rôle modérateur de l’hétérogénéité des clients en termes de Lifetime Value prédite, dans l’impact des actions promotionnelles initiées par une enseigne sur les processus formateurs de son Capital Client – l’acquisition et la rétention, sont formulées et testées. La discussion des résultats obtenus permet la réalisation d’une typologie des trajectoires possibles des ventes et du Capital Client sous l’influence des actions promotionnelles de différentes intensités. Elle permet également d’envisager la maximisation du Capital Client par l’optimisation de l’intensité promotionnelle au niveau des segments issus de la modélisation probabiliste. Les implications académiques et managériales sont examinées et plusieurs voies de recherche sont proposées. / In a marketing context governed today by the relational paradigm, three strategic issues become increasingly important: a good knowledge of customers, the optimal allocation of limited resources and reliable measures of performance. Two streams of research on Customer Equity can be distinguished: the first one is dedicated to its estimation through the study and prediction of customer behaviour, the other one, to its maximization through the identification of optimal marketing strategies. This research can be situated at the confluence of these currents, its purpose being to analyse whether the combination of probabilistic customer base segmentation and persistence modelling of the impact of marketing actions, can constitute a appropriate device for the optimisation of the marketing effort. Hypotheses are formulated and tested regarding the moderating role of the heterogeneity of customers' predicted Lifetime Value in the impact of promotional activities initiated by a company on the formative processes of its Customer Equity - acquisition and retention. The discussion of the results leads to a typology of possible trajectories for sales and Customer Equity under the influence of promotional activities of different intensities. It also allows considering the maximization of Customer Capital by optimising the intensity of promotional actions targeting the segments issued from the probabilistic modelling. Academic and managerial implications are discussed and several research directions are suggested.

The purpose of this work is an analysis of the capital-output ratio in South Africa during the period 1950-1969. I will attempt to describe, on the basis of theoretical considerations, the trends in and the causes of movements of this ratio. I will attempt to relate theory (Part I and Part II) and reality (Part II). Part III will be devoted to prognostications and a comparison of foreseen data with those of the fourth E.D.P.

Aborda el tema del capital humano entendido como los conocimientos y la experiencia que cada persona posee para desempeñar un trabajo lo cual influye en su grado de empleabilidad. Así también lo es el capital relacional, que viene a ser la colaboración de las personas allegadas con el fin de obtener un empleo. Describe el perfil laboral del egresado, comprueba que las capacitaciones para obtener nuevos conocimientos y los contactos en el puesto de trabajo son relevantes para los egresados en el manejo de su empleabilidad. Utiliza una muestra de 45 egresados de la Escuela Académico Profesional de Administración de Negocios Internacionales de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos para aplicar una encuesta. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran las hipótesis a excepción de una. / Tesis
