"Garbage In, Garbage Out": The Litigation Implosion Over The Unconstitutional Organization And Jurisdiction Of The City Court Of Atlanta, Edward C. Brewer Iii Dec 2000

"Garbage In, Garbage Out": The Litigation Implosion Over The Unconstitutional Organization And Jurisdiction Of The City Court Of Atlanta, Edward C. Brewer Iii

Mercer Law Review

The City Court of Atlanta, the primary traffic court for Atlanta, Georgia, has exercised jurisdiction since 1996 over more than one million traffic violations and, since 1988 and under two statutes, some fifty thousand nontraffic misdemeanors. The City Court's first predecessor, the Traffic Court of Atlanta, adjudicated traffic law violations from 1955 to 1967 and was replaced in 1967 by a second court, also known as the City Court, which existed until 1996. That City Court's jurisdiction was expanded in 1988 to include nontraffic misdemeanors arising from the same occurrence as the traffic violation. In 1996 the City Court was …

Manufacturing And Supply Chain Management In China:: A Survey Of State-, Collective-, And Privately-Owned Enterprises, David Pyke Phd, Ma, Mba, Ba, David Robb Phd, Mba, Be, John Farley Phd Dec 2000

Manufacturing And Supply Chain Management In China:: A Survey Of State-, Collective-, And Privately-Owned Enterprises, David Pyke Phd, Ma, Mba, Ba, David Robb Phd, Mba, Be, John Farley Phd

School of Business: Faculty Scholarship

Because of the booming economy, interest in China has soared in recent years. The government has decided to privatize many State-owned enterprises (SOEs), so foreigners can much more easily invest in existing firms than ever before. Is it wise to consider investing in these SOEs? Certainly, many have major problems. How sophisticated are Chinese manufacturing firms? Do they understand modern principles of manufacturing strategy and supply chain management? What is the level of installed technology, from traditional production planning systems, like MRP, to robotics? This paper attempts to answer these questions based on a survey of 100 firms in the …

The Indian Software Industry: What Makes For Commitment, Abhoy K Ojha Dec 2000

The Indian Software Industry: What Makes For Commitment, Abhoy K Ojha

IIMB Management Review

The impact of the demographic characteristics of people on their work attitudes and organisational behaviour has been of interest to organisational theorists for a long time. While some studies have examined the impact of demographic characteristics on attitudes and behaviour, others have investigated the impact of the composition of these demographic characteristics on individual attitudes and behaviour, and organisational outcomes. Against the background of these studies, a study was conducted to examine the impact of demographic characteristics of software professionals on their organisational commitment

Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri Dec 2000

Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri

IIMB Management Review

The hotel industry is hopefully just emerging from a threeyear period of recession. The heyday of the industry was in the years immediately following the opening up of the economy, from 1993-94 onwards. However, we had a couple of unfortunate events at that time, Babri Masjid and then the plague scare. Despite the economic environment turning positive, these other elements are very good examples of the ‘non economic factors’ that can have a serious impact on the hotel industry. So it was really in 94-97 that the industry reached its peak. Foreign investors came in significantly large numbers compared to …

Vehicle Routing For Milk Procurement, Janat Shah Dec 2000

Vehicle Routing For Milk Procurement, Janat Shah

IIMB Management Review

In a typical co-operative dairy, one of the significant operating costsunder the control of the management is the cost of milk collectionand transportation. (Exhibit 1 shows the typical cost structure of adairy) The dairy under study picked up milk from 500-800 pick uppoints (nodes) twice a day. The vehicle routes were decided manu-ally keeping in mind the peak load expected at the nodes during thecoming year. The dairy had about 50 odd routes, each route cover-ing an average of 15 nodes. Usually dairies do not own the ve-hicles but use transport contractors who enter into an annual con tract with …

A Better Harvest, Tushaar Shah Dec 2000

A Better Harvest, Tushaar Shah

IIMB Management Review

In 1972, the prices of fossil fuel suddenly shot up and with it there was enormous escalation in fertiliser prices. People were therefore very pessimistic about the future of agriculture in the country, though the Green Revolution had been hailed only a few years before. So in my talk on Our Agriculture Future in 1973 I said that what we needed was an integrated approach: a farming systems approach looking at our land and water resources. I also spoke about the concept of Sarvodaya Agriculture, which is a high synergy society of farmers, managing and caring for natural resources like …

The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar Dec 2000

The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar

IIMB Management Review

The Quality Movement and Organisation Theory is different from most books on quality on two main counts. Firstly, it successfully addresses the issues of organisational change and emerging management practices, and their impact on Total Quality Management (TQM). Secondly, the concepts and findings detailed in the book combine the strengths of academic research studies on TQM and the vast experience of executives from leading organisations. Though focused primarily on the practices of TQM in the US, the book is exhaustive in its treatment of the subject. Starting with a lucid introduction to the quality movement and its linkages with issues …

Propaganda And Persuasion By Garth S Jowett And Victoria O’Donnell, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., M A Venkataramana

IIMB Management Review

Propaganda and Persuasion promises to be of interest to anyone who has encountered propaganda of some kind and who would like to know more about the ways in which it could shape the social setting around us. The promise, after all, comes from authors who have been studying communication in depth for over a decade. (Jowett is Professor of Communication at the University of Houston, and Joint Advisory Editor of the Cambridge History of Mass Communication; O’Donnell is Professor of Communication at Montana State University, Bozeman. Both have published widely and are sought-after consultants.)

Product-Mix Optimiser For An Integrated Steel Plant, Goutam Dutta, Gopal P Singh, P N Roy Dec 2000

Product-Mix Optimiser For An Integrated Steel Plant, Goutam Dutta, Gopal P Singh, P N Roy

IIMB Management Review

Optimal utilisation of constrained resources is one of the most important problems in the area of operations management. The determination of optimal productmix is an extremely difficult task for an organisation producing multiple products in multiple stages, sharing a set of common plant resources and experiencing a fluctuating market over time. In the absence of a quick method to determine optimality under changing conditions, plant managers have to make decisions based on their experience and intuition.

Application Of Or To Management Practice: An Introduction, H K Lakshman Rao

Customer dissatisfaction with products and services, long queues at hospitals and railway stations, stock out/excess stock situations, overflowing solid waste bins at street corners, delayed deliveries and time lag in new product development, steeply increasing project costs, high rates of wastage in the manufacturing process these are among the numerous instances indicating the lack of systems approach and inadequate appreciation of Operations Research (OR) methods in the Indian management and administrative network scenario.

Optimisation: Maximising Roi Within The Supply Chain, Irvin Lustig Dec 2000

Optimisation: Maximising Roi Within The Supply Chain, Irvin Lustig

IIMB Management Review

Optimisation is the technology employed within a supply chain management system that can have the single greatest impact on reducing costs, improving product margins, lowering inventories, and increasing manufacturing throughput. In short, optimisation is the key to achieving maximum return on investment (ROI). According to John Bermudez of the Boston- based AMR Research, the planning and scheduling modules that depend on optimisation technology have generated 30 to 300% ROI within companies that have already used them1. And the returns should continue to rise. Bermudez called the technology a means to unlock the potential from all of the data residing in …

Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby Dec 2000

Melting Into Air? Downsizing, Job Stability, And The Future Of Work, Sanford M. Jacoby

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Contrary to popular belief, career-type employment practices remain the norm in the U.S. labor market, and employers continue to shoulder risks for employees. Evidence to support this claim is drawn from a variety of sources: data on tenure and mobility; analysis of new job creation and job quality; recent employer responses to labor-market tightness; and data on wage premiums, fringe benefits, and training. Yet employees are bearing more risk today, including risk of job loss and of compensation fluctuations. This is an important change from the past. Nevertheless, there are limits—economic, demographic, and political—to the risk-shifting process.

Policing The "Wild West" World Of Internet Pharmacies, Kerry Toth Rost Dec 2000

Policing The "Wild West" World Of Internet Pharmacies, Kerry Toth Rost

Chicago-Kent Law Review

An Internet pharmacy sells medications through its Web site. Legitimate, law-abiding Internet pharmacies benefit modern healthcare in numerous ways; however, some Internet pharmacies conduct illegal and unsafe prescribing and dispensing practices that can endanger the health of the patients the pharmacy serves. Controversy exists over which regulatory body should govern the sale of prescription drugs over the Internet and how Internet pharmacies should be regulated. This Note contends that cooperation of state and federal regulatory agencies and careful updating and utilization of current regulatory avenues can adequately promote the safety of Internet pharmacies. This Note further contends that the dangers …

Gis-Based Decision Support For Drained Wetland Resoration In The Eel River Watershed Of N. E. Indiana, Xiangheng Yang Dec 2000

Gis-Based Decision Support For Drained Wetland Resoration In The Eel River Watershed Of N. E. Indiana, Xiangheng Yang

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this research is to develop cost-effect and accurate methods to identify optimal restorable drained wetland cropland sites. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data analysis was used to identify the potential cropland candidate sites in the initial step. The result of digital TM data analysis shows that the overall classification accuracy in identifying classes of potential restoration candidate hydric soils is 86.7%. This accuracy shows that the TM data digital analysis is a cost-effective method for identifying poorly drained cropland hydric soils potentially suitable for wetland conversiOn. To support multi-factorial analysis in the final site screening, a Spatial Decision …
