Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments: Subcontracting In The Japanese Automobile Industry, Yoshiro Miwa, J. Mark Ramseyer Jan 2000

Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments: Subcontracting In The Japanese Automobile Industry, Yoshiro Miwa, J. Mark Ramseyer

Michigan Law Review

Longer ago than either of us cares to remember, one of us attended junior high in Tokyo. On Saturdays, he worked at a printed circuit factory. Or maybe "factory" makes it all sound too grand. A small building in back of a gas station, it had three or four punch presses. The "president" supervised matters (though he actually spent more time hanging out at the gas station), together with a sidekick who did assorted odd jobs besides. Several middle-aged women with no apparent technical education or skill ran the presses. The junior high kid spent his time trimming the sheets …

Reaffirming Relationship-Specific Investments: Comments On Miwa And Ramseyer's 'Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments', Scott E. Masten

Michigan Law Review

I, too, have a work-related anecdote from my youth to relate. During one summer break from college, I had a job on the night shift in the canning plant of a Coca-Cola bottling franchisee in my hometown in New Hampshire. The process of canning tonic (known as "soda" outside of New England) consisted of three stages, beginning with the fabrication of cans in a room at one end of the building and concluding with the filling and sealing operations in a room at the other end. In between, workers in a third room inspected cans as they arrived by conveyor …


The Sound Of One Form Battling: Comments On Daniel Keating's 'Exploring The Battle Of The Forms In Action', Richard Craswell Jan 2000

The Sound Of One Form Battling: Comments On Daniel Keating's 'Exploring The Battle Of The Forms In Action', Richard Craswell

Michigan Law Review

Daniel Keating has provided a thoughtful and useful study of the way that businesses form contracts. In particular, he has given us a good deal of data concerning the problem known as the "battle of the forms." Commercial lawyers have, of course, been wrangling over this problem for decades, so it is no small accomplishment to be able to offer a useful contribution. In Part I below, I describe more precisely just what Keating's data does and does not illuminate. Parts II and III then focus on a particular contracting practice that Keating has identified: the practice of getting both …


On The Use Of Practitioner Surveys In Commercial Law Research: Comments On Daniel Keating's 'Exploring The Battle Of The Forms In Action', Avery Wiener Katz Jan 2000

On The Use Of Practitioner Surveys In Commercial Law Research: Comments On Daniel Keating's 'Exploring The Battle Of The Forms In Action', Avery Wiener Katz

Michigan Law Review

As Daniel Keating's principal article attests, the literature on U.C.C. section 2-207 and the "battle of the forms" is both vast and intricate. 1 That fact, together with the distinguished array of commentators assembled here, makes it unlikely that I will be able to say anything substantially original on that subject. Accordingly, in the spirit of this overall symposium, I will focus the bulk of my remarks not on the substantive issues raised by Keating's article, but on his methodology. In particular, I will suggest that Keating's empirical method - the free-form, oral interview conducted personally by the principal researcher …


An Overview Of Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 And 2 By Alfred Schnittke., Nozomi Yamaguchi Jan 2000

An Overview Of Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 And 2 By Alfred Schnittke., Nozomi Yamaguchi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Alfred Schnittke was a Russian composer who is regarded as one of the leading avant-garde composers of our time; he recently passed away in 1998. His prolific works were eclectic in a wide variety of genres and styles. He was particularly known for polystylicism, a coined word to describe a combination of different styles. Among such works are his piano sonatas, which deserve study and performance since they also represent an important contribution to the continuing genre in the twentieth-century. This document gives brief analyses of his first two piano sonatas. After Schnittke's biography and discussions of his major works, …

The Effects Of A Rural Parent Education Program On Parenting Stress, Perceived Social Support, Parental Locus Of Control, And Parental Efficacy., Janie Marie Cole Jan 2000

The Effects Of A Rural Parent Education Program On Parenting Stress, Perceived Social Support, Parental Locus Of Control, And Parental Efficacy., Janie Marie Cole

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This project was a pilot study examining the effects of a rural parent education program on parenting stress, perceived social support, parental locus of control, and parental efficacy. The sample consisted of a group of six mothers in West Virginia. The variables were tested using the Parenting Stress Index, Perceived Social Support from Friends Index and two subscales, Parental Efficacy and Belief in Fate and Chance, from the Parental Locus of Control Scale. Using Cronbach’s alpha, the Parental Efficacy Subscale and all but one subscale of the Parenting Stress Index were found to be reliable with this small sample. Analysis …

Sand Casting Benchmarking: Questionnaire Development, Analysis And Participant Evaluation., Kimberly Hawkins Spangler

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This research focused on obtaining information on sand casting practices and providing participants in the research with feedback. It also focused on determining if any significant relationships existed among the data. A detailed questionnaire, containing 96 questions, was developed and sent to sand casters. Fifty sand casters participated in the benchmarking study during late 1995 and early 1996. The data were analyzed to provide the participants with a personalized evaluation indicating how they compared with other sand casters pouring the same primary type of metal. The data were further analyzed using correlations and non-parametric statistical tests to determine if any …


The Distribution Of Federal Grants In Appalachia: The Effects Of Race., Steven Ray Gregory Jan 2000

The Distribution Of Federal Grants In Appalachia: The Effects Of Race., Steven Ray Gregory

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

African Americans are an economically and socially oppressed group both currently and historically within the American South and Appalachian region. They experience socioeconomic barriers at local and national levels. Even so, within Appalachian counties, populations with greater percentages of African Americans receive greater per capita federal grant spending. Moreover, southern Appalachian counties including counties in the Black Belt region show the most dramatic increases in federal grants. Still, within Appalachian counties receiving increased federal grants, unemployment rates are not affected. Further, metropolitan counties are not benefitting from increased federal grant spending. Consequently, these counties are experiencing economic growth with little …

The Law And Order Presidency., Willard Mark Oliver Jan 2000

The Law And Order Presidency., Willard Mark Oliver

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The theory of presidential influence over public opinion is used to predict the impact of presidential time and attention focused on crime on the public's concern for crime as the “most important problem facing the country.” The more attention presidents give to the issue of crime, the more concerned the public becomes with crime. The study addresses the assumptions of the hypothesis by first assessing the history of presidential involvement in crime control policy; second, by delineating reasons why presidents have become involved in such policies; and, finally, by articulating the means presidents have available in order to engage in …

Open Access Publications

The functional neuroanatomy of visual processing of surface features of emotionally valenced pictorial stimuli was examined in normal human subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Pictorial stimuli were of two types: emotionally negative and neutral pictures. Task performance was slower for the negatively valenced than for the neutral pictures. Significant blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) increases occurred in the medial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, midbrain, substantia innominata, and/or amygdala, and in the posterior cortical visual areas for both stimulus types. Increases were greater for the negatively valenced stimuli. While there was a small but significant BOLD decrease in the …
