U.S. beef is a critical product affected by the legislation, and the United States Meat Export Federation (USMEF) invested in a new product promotion program to increase exports of U.S. beef to Guatemala. The consumer responsiveness and effectiveness of the U.S. branded beef promotion program are analyzed in this study. Demand responses to promotion activities that launched three new U.S. beef value cuts in Guatemala?s Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional (HRI) sector were estimated by applying the Parks Model of Generalized Least Squares regression to pooled, time-series and cross sectional data. Results show a negative relationship between own price and sales quantity, while the effect of advertising on quantity sold is positive. Demand for the U.S. beef value cuts increased as a result of the promotion, although the costs of the promotion program exceeded the additional revenue generated as a result of promotion activities.Item Evaluating the importance of promotional guidelines for law enforcement departments(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2002) Mirelez, Michael J.Item Exploring direct and indirect antecedents of self-reported ecological behaviors(2012-05-12) Weber, Alisa; Weber, Alisa Jeannette; Stenmark, Cheryl; Schell, Kraig; Cordell-McNulty, Kristi; Purkiss, Christine; Angelo State University. Department of Psychology, Sociology and Social Work.The current study examined the direct and indirect antecedents of participation in ecological behavior. Specifically, it was hypothesized that promotion and prevention orientation would both significantly predict ecological behavior, and that hope and optimism would partially mediate these relationships. The results revealed that a promotion orientation significantly predicted pro-social behavior, but the hypothesized mediation was not significant. However, post-hoc analyses revealed that hope predicted pro-social behavior and that the relationship was mediated by a promotion orientation. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are also discussed.Item Labor market issues for administrators: evidence from public schools in Texas(2009-05-15) Mitchem, Eric JohnThis dissertation examines three labor market issues regarding public school administrators in Texas using personnel records from the 1994-95 school year until the 2003-04 school year. The first essay explores promotion rates of men and women to school principal, a position that requires certification. I find ignoring gender differences in desire for promotion yields results similar to the existing literature: men hold an advantage in the promotion process. However, restricting the analysis to only those individuals who have expressed interest in an administrative position, those who became trained and certified as a principal, I find men and women face no statistically significant difference in the probability of promotion. Duration analysis shows that although men are most often promoted four years after they become certified and women are most often promoted six to seven years after becoming certified, women face a much higher hazard of promotion than men. This cannot be explained by a higher exit rate from the education sector by men. The second essay examines the effect of restrictive licensing on the quality of the entrants into a profession. Theory suggests that requiring minimum competency standards truncates the low end of the quality distribution, however, increased costs of entry encourage talented potential entrants to pursue outside opportunities. Using the public school principal profession in Texas and measuring teacher quality by changes in student achievement, I find evidence that lower entry costs increase the quality of entrants. As a robustness check, I categorize observations geographically into control and treatment groups to ensure the estimated effect is a result of reduced entry costs and not unobserved factors. The third essay examines the effect of increased school choice on the earnings and abilities of school administrators. I find an overall positive effect of competition on administrators' earnings suggesting that productivity gains from hiring talented managers outweigh the pressure to reduce costs by cutting salaries. However, the results are sensitive to the level of competition, the type of labor market, and the administrators' position. I control for possible endogeneity both mechanically and with outside instruments and my conclusions are largely unchanged.Item Mentoring Our Own: an Analysis of a Promotion-based Mentoring Program(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2002) Cardenas, Arthur G.Item Minority Advancement in Law Enforcement(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2002) Perry, Kenneth R.Item Performance based staffing for detectives(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2016) Walts, BillyItem Performance-based promotion in law enforcement: the Abilene police model(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2014) Beard, LynnItem Promotion: Leadership Ability as the Deciding Factor(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2016) Reckaway, JamesOrganizations often base their promotion process on seniority, experience, and education. It should come as no surprise when bad leaders cause the downfall of these same organizations. Good leadership is required to lead organizations to success. Any organization, business, public service provider, trainer, or consultant firm will benefit from good leadership. Good businesses are usually led by good leaders because good employees are more willing to follow the better leaders. Negative perceptions by the public can easily be countered through good leadership. Promotion processes based on other non-essential criteria are likely to result in bad leadership, and bad leadership causes dysfunction throughout the organization and limits the good informal leaders. Although some may have their reservations regarding this idea, evidence suggests that leadership is the most important criteria for the success of an organization. Administrators should begin to allow leadership ability to become the primary deciding factor for promoting employees rather than seniority.Item Promotional process: more than a written exam(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2015) Parker, RobertItem Standardized training program for newly promoted supervisors(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2015) Lightfoot, DavidItem The effectiveness of the oral interview in the promotional process for Sergeants and Lieutenant(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2008) Reyes, RobertItem The use of assessment centers in the law enforcement promotional process(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2010) Rutherford, Michael S.Item The Use of Performance Evaluations in Promotional Considerations for Law Enforcement(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2007) Mild, Stephen T.Item Validating law enforcement assessment centers(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2007) Ure, Bruce
