Extract

Considering Professors Monroe's and Trieschmann's own analysis and methodology, it seems that their conclusion and implications of the results are considerably reduced in scope from those presented in their paper. I would like to discuss this new approach within the broader scope of their work. I will conclude with several points which closely relate to their work but which are not, by their choice, a part of the present paper.

2 While Swadener can use premium volume as a criterion, Monroe and Trieschmann cannot?

1. Swadener merely asks discussion of the selection.

2. Swadener's purpose and variables are quite different from those of Monroe and Trieschmann; Swadener's study had the particular objective of indicating that margin on sales is not an appropriate measure of overall performance of an insurance company.
