Other Factors Influencing Commitment

Another way of perturbing the commitments is solvent deuteration. Change of the carbon kinetic isotope effect in the case of E. coli enzyme indicates that the proton transfer precedes the decarboxylation step  

The detailed mechanism of this reaction has become the subject of vigorous debate since these isotope effects were first published. It has been chosen for detailed theoretical analysis in several QM/MM studies of enzyme catalyzed reactions.

Constraints always exist but occasionally are not communicated accurately or promptly. Competition in the marketplace frequently causes introduction deadlines and endproduct cost constraints that must be considered during the initial phases of a development program. On the other hand, lead times for materials and personnel resources must be appreciated when commitments are made to timelines. Without planning in advance, the task may not be possible at all. Factors that influence decisions may originate externally as well as internally. Care must be exercised to address those issues that affect the timely completion of a project. 

The relationship of the other three factors to observed behavior is less immediate and direct, although training is, in many cases, a direct influence. The commitment of management may have a powerful motivational effect. For example, the perceived commitment of management enters the worker s decision about whether to perform a task the prescribed way or the expedient way. 

Within the intra-organizational delimitation of the EVA factors, a scope of influence is given. The extent to which adjustments of the operating capital and the NOPAT can be made depends on the accounting standards upon which the company s annual financial statement is based. Dependently of the adjustments, the result of the EVA calculation can be influenced and, as a consequence, knowledge of the based accounting standards is necessary for the interpretation of the EVA. In the context of SCIs, the selection of the cost charges, for example, influences the relevance of the capital commitment in comparison with the other two value drivers.
