It proposes that such societies attempt to prioritize problems and attempt to focus public awareness (and calls to action) in a more systematic way.

New-Product Development : The Process In Specialty And Performance Chemicals, Francis J. Hammond
New-Product Development : The Process In Specialty And Performance Chemicals, Francis J. Hammond
Master's Theses
Effective new-product development will be one of the greatest management challenges of the 1990s. This paper explores the new-product development process and discusses the process in terms of specialty and performance chemical businesses. The focus of this paper is on understanding how structure (particularly working structure), business orientation, and the existence of strategy influences new-product development. The paper discusses the rationale for, and the measurement of, loose-tight structures in the new-product development process. An approach to measuring business orientation is suggested, tested and recommended for further study.
A Retail Branch Profitability Measurement Model For The Thrift Industry, Rex L. Smith Iii
A Retail Branch Profitability Measurement Model For The Thrift Industry, Rex L. Smith Iii
Master's Theses
Deregulation of the financial services industry has created a need for management to adapt a different approach to operations. Drastic regulatory and environmental changes have forced thrifts and banks to concentrate on increasing efficiency and core profitability from the retail branch network. Once considered to be highly bureaucratic, financial institutions are trimming back off ice review and focusing on a more decentralized leaner operation. Expensive mergers and large conglomerate financial powerhouses have created a need for increased management controls and reasonable methods of measuring the true profitability of the individual business units within a financial services company.

The Impact Of Implementin Effective Employee Communication To Manage The Evolving Work Force, Michelle K. Bray
Theses
This thesis will focus on the study of implementing effective employee communications to manage a diverse work force.
Over the years the practice of public relations has struggled to establish a niche for itself by justifying its existence to corporate America, mainly upper management. As an increasing number of chief executive officers recognize the need for effective communications professional communicators are being strategically placed to best serve the organizational objectives. Unfortunately, the area of internal communications is often neglected.
Research has attributed the lack of effective, open, two-way communications to the false presumption that employees are loyal 10 their employer …
