The Leatherby Libraries used social media during the COVID-19 crisis as both a means of communicating urgent messages to its patrons and also as a tool for engaging community members in the absence of traditional
library tours, events, and exhibits.

Tdabc Capabilities For Performance Measurement: A Case Study In A Manufacturing Context, Siham Rahoui, Abubakar Ali, John Crowe, Amr Mahfouz
Conference papers
Supply chain costing presents a sophisticated alternative to traditional costing allowing an accurate cost estimation and effective decision making. In exploring different techniques, TDABC was not explored extensively compared to its peers. In addition to the infancy of the technique, there is an on-going debate about the capability of the TDABC specifically in manufacturing context. The present study contributes to the debate by applying TDABC at the logistics function of a manufacturing site and assesses it capability to measure performance in the stated context.

This study investigates the use of computers by People with Disabilities (PWDs) and whether it improves capability and human development in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on a case study’s findings and interviews with PWDs, we build on the Technology-Augment Capability Approach to show how computers as technical objects and caregivers as non-technical objects facilitate four key capabilities for PWDs, namely (1) Capability to education, (2) Capability to socio-economic activities, (3) Capability to social relations, (4) Informational capabilities and capability to employment. However, PWDs’ ability to convert the use of computers into capabilities is influenced by conversion factors, such as personal, social, …

Succession Planning Strategies Within Family Firms, Brent Alan Muckridge
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Approximately 70% of second-generation family firm successors are likely to close the family firm post succession due to succession process-related issues. Predecessors and family business owners need to understand the impact the succession process has on the family firm’s socioemotional wealth, family legacy, and longevity. Grounded in the social exchange theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore succession strategies predecessors in family firms employ for the succession planning process. The participants were six family members from three family firms, including the successor for each family firm, who used succession planning strategies. Data were collected from …
