Making Cost Reductions Stick, Mark E. Pickering
Making Cost Reductions Stick, Mark E. Pickering
Mark E Pickering
In tough economic times it is important to keep control of costs. Inappropriate and poorly executed cost reduction exercises can destroy competitive advantage and result in costs creeping back. This article outlines common cost reduction pitfalls and examines four popular approaches to cost reduction.
In Whom We Trust: Group Membership As An Affective Context For Trust Development, Michele Williams
In Whom We Trust: Group Membership As An Affective Context For Trust Development, Michele Williams
Michele Williams
Examining the ways in which affect impacts the trust that develops between members of dissimilar groups broadens the study of trust development. People's perceptions of their own interdependence with other groups influence both their beliefs about group members' trustworthiness and their affect for group members. I propose that this affect, in turn, influences interpersonal trust development through multiple paths: cognitive, motivational, and behavioral. Using literature on social information processing, emotion, and intergroup behavior, I elucidate the social and affective context of trust development.
Uniform Pricing Or Pay-As-Bid Pricing: A Dilemma For California And Beyond, Peter Cramton, Alfred E. Kahn, Robert H. Porter, Richard D. Tabors
Uniform Pricing Or Pay-As-Bid Pricing: A Dilemma For California And Beyond, Peter Cramton, Alfred E. Kahn, Robert H. Porter, Richard D. Tabors
Peter Cramton
Any belief that a shift from uniform to as-bid pricing would provide power purchasers substantial relief from soaring prices is simply mistaken. The immediate consequence of its introduction would be a radical change in bidding behavior that would introduce new inefficiencies, weaken competition in new generation, and impede expansion of capacity.

Vom Elektronischen Schaufenster Zum Prozessportal, Hubert Oesterle, Elgar Fleisch
Hubert Oesterle
Portale sind keine Garantie für Geschäftserfolg. Sie sind nur ein technisches Hilfsmittel eine neue Möglichkeit des Informationszeitalters, Kundenbedürfnisse zu befriedigen.Erfolgreichen Portalen liegen fundierte wirtschaftliche Überlegungen zu Grunde. Portale, welche die klassischen Gesetze der Betriebswirtschaft nicht beachten, werden wieder vom Markt verschwinden. Die genaue Kenntnis und die integrierte Unterstützung des Kundenprozesses ist Voraussetzung für die qualitative Verbesserung in Kunden-, Lieferanten- und Partnerbeziehungen. Dies erfordert eine Lösung von der Fixierung auf den Verkauf der eigenen Produkte und damit eine fundamentale Neubestimmung der eigenen Unternehmensphilosophie. Erfolgreiche Portale orientieren sich am Kundenprozess, bieten jeder Nutzergruppe eine individuelle Sicht, sammeln aktiv Wissen über Nutzer, beziehen …

Waves And Persistence In Merger And Acquisition Activity, Atreya Chakraborty
Waves And Persistence In Merger And Acquisition Activity, Atreya Chakraborty
Atreya Chakraborty
Markov regime-switching and sine-wave models have been used to capture the apparent wave-like behavior in aggregate U.S. merger and acquisition (M and A) activity. In this paper we offer an alternative characterization of the dynamic structure in M and A activity as a strongly dependent or long-memory process.

75 Years Of Turkish Diaspora: A Republican Family On The Move, Ibrahim Sirkeci
75 Years Of Turkish Diaspora: A Republican Family On The Move, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Ibrahim Sirkeci
Modern Turkey has been founded on internal and international migrations. During the early Republican period (1920s and 1930s), large populations of Turkish nationals and Muslims were living outside the borders of the new country. After the First World War and the War of Independence, they were brought into the country and were involved in the reconstruction process of the new Turkish Republic, marking the beginning of this century’s Turkish Diaspora. Since then, Turkey has witnessed important population movements in 20th Century. Jewish scholars came from Germany and then went to the United States and Israel; remaining Greek population after the …

Mixing And Mapping Metadata To Provide Integrated Access To Digital Library Collections: An Activity Report, Karen S. Calhoun, Tom Turner, Meryl Brodsky, George Kozak, Martin Kurth, Fred Muratori, David Ruddy, Sarah Young Chandler
Karen S Calhoun
This paper provides a report of work in progress to implement integrated access to multiple digital collections that are described using a variety of metadata formats. Using the emerging resource discovery and digital library management system, ENCompass, a team at Cornell University Library is experimenting with the principle of modularity–as described by Lagoze–in which a metadata format tailored for simplicity (Dublin Core) is used alongside other, more complex metadata formats.
Parental Assessment Of College Character: Brand Identity And Consumer Behavior In Higher Education, Oscar T. Mcknight, Ronald Paugh, Emily Newton
Parental Assessment Of College Character: Brand Identity And Consumer Behavior In Higher Education, Oscar T. Mcknight, Ronald Paugh, Emily Newton
Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.
The concept of character development in higher education enjoys considerable professional support. Moreover, commercial marketers are aggressively promoting brand image and brand character to differentiate their products and services. However, there is a paucity of research on the marketing of a university's brand character. This exploratory research examines parental assessment of college character , its conceptual components and hierarchical factor structure. A discussion highlights practical implications for the marketing of a college's brand character.
Innovation, Demand And Employment, Mario Pianta
Innovation, Demand And Employment, Mario Pianta
Mario Pianta
The paper examines the link between technological change and demand and their impact on employment in manufacturing industry. The specific nature of innovation, mainly oriented towards product or process innovations, is considered, in the light of the competitive strategies of firms and industries. An interpretative model is proposed and an empirical analysis is carried out, using the data of the European Innovation Surveys for five countries. The results of cross-industry regressions show that demand, structural change and orientation toward product innovations have a positive impact on employment change in the 1990s, while the intensity of innovative expenditure (including R&D, design, …

Takeover Defenses And Dilution: A Welfare Analysis, Atreya Chakraborty
Takeover Defenses And Dilution: A Welfare Analysis, Atreya Chakraborty
Atreya Chakraborty
Existing theory suggests that, in an unregulated market for corporate control, the level of takeovers is suboptimal because shareholders do not receive the full benefit from them. However, existing theory neglects that the threat of takeover may divert managerial effort from productive to defensive activities. This paper shows that, when this is considered, takeovers may, in fact, be excessive.
Team Racial Composition, Member Attitudes, And Performance: A Field Study, A M. Townsend, Dow Scott
Team Racial Composition, Member Attitudes, And Performance: A Field Study, A M. Townsend, Dow Scott
Dow Scott
Attitudinal, performance, and demographic data from 1200 workers on self-directed teams are examined to determine if racial composition affects team performance, if African-Americans and whites have different attitudes toward their teams and team performance, and whether any differences explain performance differences associated with different racial composition. Results indicate that racial composition affects team performance and racial differences in team and performance-related attitudes. Differences in attitudes reduce, but do not eliminate, racial composition effects on team performance.
An Evaluation Of Financial Globalisation Under Fund-Manager Capitalism: The Case Of The Uk Unit Trust Industry', Colin C. Williams
An Evaluation Of Financial Globalisation Under Fund-Manager Capitalism: The Case Of The Uk Unit Trust Industry', Colin C. Williams
Colin C Williams
Drawing upon evidence from the UK unit trust industry, this paper evaluates the extent and nature of financial globalisation. It finds that despite this rapidly growing and prominent form of fund-manager capitalism operating with increasingly mobile capital in a more inter-connected de-regulated world, this does not signal the advent of homeless capital and the end of geography.
La Responsabilidad Civil Por Productos Defectuosos: Perspectivas Para La Aplicación Y El Desarrollo De La Directiva 85/374/Cee, Luis González Vaqué
La Responsabilidad Civil Por Productos Defectuosos: Perspectivas Para La Aplicación Y El Desarrollo De La Directiva 85/374/Cee, Luis González Vaqué
Luis González Vaqué
En 1985, cuando fue adoptada la Directiva 85/374/ CEE, el legislador comunitario partió de la base de que se trataba de una normativa ‘mejorable’, por lo que impuso a la Comisión la tarea de vigilar la eficacia de su aplicación y de proponer, eventualmente, su revisión.
Con todos sus defectos, la Directiva 85/374/CEE contribuye a incrementar el nivel de protección frente a los productos defectuosos, entre otras razones, porque constituye una ‘espada de Damocles’ que incita a los productores a maximizar sus esfuerzos para producir sin riesgos innecesarios para la salud y la integridad humanas y porque, una vez que …
