Voluntary disclosure of accounting ratios in the UK (2002)
Journal Article
Watson, A., Shrives, P., & Marston, C. (2002). Voluntary disclosure of accounting ratios in the UK. British Accounting Review, 34(4), 289-313. https://doi.org/10.1006/bare.2002.0213

This paper investigates whether the voluntary disclosure of ratios in corporate annual reports can be explained by agency and signalling theory. The two theories are discussed and the applicability to explaining ratio disclosures considered. Drawing... Read More about Voluntary disclosure of accounting ratios in the UK.

Franchising, retailing and the development of e-commerce (2002)
Journal Article
Watson, A., Kirby, D., & Egan, J. (2002). Franchising, retailing and the development of e-commerce. International Journal of Retail and Distribution Management, 30(5), 228-237. https://doi.org/10.1108/09590550210426390

Franchising has shown considerable growth in recent years and in advanced economies, such as the USA and the UK, and currently accounts for approximately one?third of all retail sales. It would seem, therefore, that franchising and retailing represen... Read More about Franchising, retailing and the development of e-commerce.

Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis (2002)
Journal Article
Soraghan, J. J., Hussain, A., Alkulabi, A., & Durrani, T. (2002). Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis. Control and Intelligent Systems, 30, 11-18

A fast and robust three-level binary higher order statistics (HOS) based algorithm for simultaneous voiced/unvoiced detection and pitch estimation of speech signals in coloured noise environments with low SNR is presented. The use of the three-level... Read More about Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis.

Quantifying design exclusion (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Clarkson, P., & Keates, S. (2002). Quantifying design exclusion. In S. Keates, P. Langdon, P. J. Clarkson, & P. Robinson (Eds.), Universal access and assistive technology: Proceedings of the Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02 (22-32). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-3719-1_3

Products make demands of their users which effect their utility and usability. As a result, those users who do not have the capability to use the product are denied access to it. For example, a kettle that is so heavy that a weaker user cannot lift i... Read More about Quantifying design exclusion.
