The Xfl: More X Than Fl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

In a world in which the Disney Corporation makes a calculated decision not to honor Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis with a trip to Disney World only to have Mark Chumura announce that he is going to Disney World to celebrate his escape of prison time for his hot tub romp with high school girls on prom night, one is left to ponder what the XFL will need to do to reach a public satiated with sleaze.

Moral Atmosphere And Moral Influence In China's Transitional Economy, Robin Stanley Snell, Choo Sin Tseng

Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series

We conducted a predominantly qualitative study of organizational moral atmosphere (OMA) in seven companies in the city of Wuhan, on the Chinese mainland. Our findings were consistent with other commentaries that have identified the mainland as a problematic context in which to achieve organizational integrity because of market distortions, public cynicism, and substantial weaknesses in the legal system and in civic accountability. We discovered also that in-company propagation of moral ideology appeared to have little beneficial impact on OMA, because of ideological incoherence and incompatibility with unofficial values and practices such as guanxi that are regarded as survival imperatives under …

Developing As A Learning Organization : A Hong Kong Case Of Sensegiving And Career Contracts, Robin Stanley Snell

Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series

I discuss a qualitative case study of a Hong Kong-based utility company where commercial imperatives drove, but also circumscribed, development toward ‘Learning Organization’ (LO) ideals. The case illuminates the paradox of promoting greater openness and creativity through top down sensegiving, as many managers and professionals participated in collective development towards LO ideals, but were seduced into what nearly became a propaganda trap. The case also highlights the importance of honouring psychological contracts, in that a covenant with the workforce, which leveraged the company’s dominant industry position, restored an atmosphere of mutuality with a marginalized rump. Noting that the focal company …

A Strategic Marketing Analysis Of The Western Australian Olive Industry, Francis D'Emden

Horticulture published reports

A recent survey of Western Australian olive growers has revealed the rapid expansion of the State's Olive Industry, with at least 1.7 million olive trees to be planted in the next two to four years in Western Australia. NSW and SA are currently the dominant producers with around 64% of olive trees planted in those States.

This analysis concentrates on the olive oil market, as most groves have been planted to varieties suited to olive oil production. Approximately 4% of trees are table varieties, most of which have been planted amongst groves of predominantly oil or dual-purpose varieties.

Western Australia …

The Strategy In The Use Of Contingent Workers In Hong Kong : Case Studies In Retail Firms, Mei Ling, May Wong

Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series

The research studies the strategy in the use of contingent employment in four retail firms - three Japanese and one British - in Hong Kong under different economic conditions, and the purposes of the use of contingent employment. From the data of in-depth qualitative case studies, it is found that the four case firms had different organisational responses to the economic conditions from the increase of sales before the Asian financial crisis and the shrinkage of sales after the crisis, notwithstanding these firms face similar contextual environment of Hong Kong. One of such responses is the companies ' employment policies …

Capital Access In El Paso: A Multivariate Analysis Of Factors Influencing Loan Approval, David A. Schauer, Dennis L. Soden

IPED Technical Reports

During the spring of 2000, The University of Texas at El Paso was commissioned by the El Paso Leadership and Research Council to explore a broad set of issues surrounding supply and demand factors with respect to commercial banks, small business firms and debt financing. The study revealed among other things that small, relatively young and minority owned firms experience high loan denial rates compared to their counterparts. The present study has the purpose of providing a more comprehensive statistical analysis concerning the factors which influence or predict loan approval probabilities.
