Describe the payout policy of Linear Technologies historically. Describe Linear’s current cash position and its financing needs. The company initiated its dividend in 1993 with a relatively conservative payout ratio of 15%‚ based on a quarterly dividend of $0.05/share/quarter ($0.00625 split adjusted as per Exhibit 3). As of 3Q2003‚ the dividend is also $0.05/share/quarter‚ adjusted for stock splits‚ which translates into a payout ratio of . The payout ratio is currently 27.5% on an as adjusted

Linear Approaches Linear Approach is also known as the managerial approach because all the models that fall under this approach describe changes from the vision until the implementation stage. It is considered the simplest of all the traditional models in the theories of change. According to Stacey (1996) managing a change under any circumstances whether planned or unplanned is complex with many starts and stops throughout the complete process. This conclusion has been come to under the assumptions

linear regression In statistics‚ linear regression is an approach to model the relationship between a scalar dependent variable y and one or more explanatory variables denoted X. The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable‚ it is called multiple linear regression. (This term should be distinguished from multivariate linear regression‚ where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted‚[citation needed] rather than a single
