Abstract

This work investigates controllability issues under the leader–follower framework of consensus problem on multi-agent networks where its agents exhibit the heterogeneous dynamics involving first-, second-, and third-order integrator agents on a continuous time-scale. The communication topology is directed, time-invariant, and the reliability of all interactions are unity. We employ two kinds of consensus protocols that are linear and distributed. The necessary and sufficient criteria for the controllability of followers’ dynamics through the selected leaders are obtained in terms of matrix-rank conditions. We also obtain some necessary conditions of controllability involving eigenvectors of system matrices. It is verified that, if either of the first-, second-, or third-order integrator agents are absent, then the controllability of the network becomes equivalent to the controllability of the communication topology just like those of the networks with homogeneous dynamic agents. Obtained results are verified with illustrative examples.

45. Competition in Monopoly: Teaching-Learning Process of Financial Statement Analysis to Information Technology Management Students

Author

Bharathi, Vijayakumar S. and Kulkarni, Mugdha Shailendra

Abstract

This research article investigates the impact of using a Monopoly Board Game (MBG) in the teaching learning process of financial statement analysis (FSA) to information technology management students, who earlier had little or no finance or accounting prior educational background. The subjects were students (N=159) in an Indian University. The study; first, narrated the process of administering MBG; second, quantitatively analyzed the learning experience through a structured questionnaire to validate the research objectives. The study resulted in the creation of three factor-clusters namely cognizance, collaboration, and enthusiasm which impacted students' MBG learning experience over the traditional teaching-learning methods. Results showed that factors relating to cognizance are more impacting than collaboration and enthusiasm. In the future, this research can be extended to advanced finance courses and can be integrated with relevant educational theories that underpin teaching-learning processes in higher education to other disciplines.
