Leeden's Transformation: Giving Prominence To A Lesser Known Industry, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

When Steven Tham took the helm at Leeden Limited, a local welding, gas and safety company, he had the unenviable task of making some decisions that would ultimately close some operations and displace employees. However, within a decade, not only did he turn the company around, he grew its revenue by a whopping ten times. All of it would not be possible without a systematic expansion strategy, and a keen eye on the market, he told an audience at SMU's Wee Kim Wee Centre.

Emerging Therapist, Growing Child: Developing A Relationship With A Child With Reactive Attachment Disorder, Kirsten Young

Creative Arts Therapies Theses

Children who have had severe early childhood experiences of neglect, abuse, and/or abrupt separation from their caregivers between the ages of six months and three years are at risk for developing reactive attachment disorder. In one form of reactive attachment disorder, known as the inhibited type, the child fails to initiate interactions and positively respond in social situations. Such behaviors make it challenging for therapists to establish therapeutic relationships with children who have been diagnosed with the inhibited type of reactive attachment disorder. The purpose of this case study is to present the challenges, successes, and reactions of a neophyte …

Sustainability Principles: A Review And Directions, Paul Shrivastava, Stephanie Berger

Organization Management Journal

In 1987 the publication of Our Common Future by the United Nations’ World Commission on Environment and Development proposed the concept of sustainable development as an ideal for the global economy and corporations. In seeking sustainable economic growth and sustainability at the enterprise level, a number of “sustainability principles” or codes of conduct emerged. A great deal of intellectual effort, managerial resources, and publicity are devoted to these principles. While these principles have created some dialogue, and helped to lead some organizations in the direction of sustainability, their practical effectiveness remains uncertain. This paper provides an overview of sustainability principles …
