Some Economic, Engineering And Managerial Considerations Involved In Establishing A Quality Control Program, Laurence Snodgrass

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

An accelerated technological tempo is notable in the demand expressions for military product. As performance requirements move toward ever increasing speeds, higher temperatures, higher strength-to-weight ratios, and miniaturization, the industrial complex exhibits a tendency toward specialized manufacture to meet these demands. There is a resultant multiplication in the complexity of the supplier-buyer relationship as a result of this specialization. Further, as new links are added to the chain of events involved between raw material and piece part manufacturing, through components and subcomponent design and manufacture to the complete system level, the communication network becomes correspondingly complex.

Frank Bond: Gentleman Sheepherder Of Northern New Mexico, 1883-1915, Frank H. Grubbs

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

The adaptability of the Bonds to new lines of business, changes in the economic balance of their interests, and their conservative yet bold and forward looking policies suggest a background somewhat more sophisticated in tone than that which is usually associated with an agrarian heritage, but it was doubtless the simple farm influences that developed the eventual character of these brothers who both by statement and conduct exemplified a set of moral, business, social and ethical standards that were and have been rarely equaled.
