Imagination is widely recognised as a set of key tools in understanding social phenomena which Willis (1999) expands on. Willis uses Mills to argue that there are four distinct sensitivities that must be used when thinking sociologically - the historical‚ the cultural‚ the structural and the critical. The historical sensitivity is essential as sociology is focused upon the mechanisms of change and the discipline’s scope extends to societies of the past and future. Max Weber’s work in explaining the

This information seemed to be very promising for the project in general. However‚ our continued analysis showed the project to be very sensitive to the sales price per unit of the refrigerator. We used the average demand scenario to produce a sensitivity analysis and found that with just a 5% decrease in the sales price of the refrigerator the NPV quickly dipped into a negative value thus showing the project to be extremely

Abstract I examine how CEO compensation is related to firms’ capital structures. My tests address the simultaneity of these decisions and distinguish between debt types with different theoretical implications for managerial incentives. Pay–performance sensitivity decreases in straight-debt leverage‚ but is higher in firms with convertible debt. Furthermore‚ stock option policy is the component of CEO pay that is most sensitive to differences in capital structure. The results strongly support the hypothesis
