Safety Performance On Three Construction Sites, Seosamh Mac Aodha
Masters
The goal of this research was to evaluate factors affecting safety performance levels on three construction sites in the border region in the Republic of Ireland. In order to achieve this goal, safety performance levels were measured using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The effect of safety training on subsequent safety-related behaviour was also analysed on two of the sites. The results showed a high number of poor work practices. These areas included: unguarded openings; working at heights; housekeeping and personal protective equipment. The results also highlighted good safety performance in the areas of plant and equipment use. The results of …

The Role Of Academic/Industry Partnerships In The Development Of Supply Chain Managers, Edward Sweeney
Conference papers
The need for improvement in the logistics and supply chain management capability of companies in Ireland is becoming increasingly recognised. One of the main bottlenecks currently is the shortage of supply chain management professionals. Education and training has a fundamental role to play if the supply of suitably qualified human resource is to be addressed in a meaningful way. Recent research indicates that demand for people with the right knowledge and skills greatly exceed supply. There are numerous techniques and technologies which can facilitate improvement in a company’s supply chain capability. However, experience has shown that these tools alone can …

Moving Beyond Product Innovation In Tourism: Benefits And Challenges, Mary O'Rawe
Moving Beyond Product Innovation In Tourism: Benefits And Challenges, Mary O'Rawe
Books / Book chapters
Many difficulties still exist in translating innovation theories into action in the tourism industry. A substantial literature base is now in place addressing innovation typologies and methodologies and assessing organisational structures, cultures and sizes. Despite this, transferring leading-edge research on organisational innovation and creativity into pragmatic strategies for tourism enterprises has not been fully successful. The most cited and obvious form of innovation is product innovation. It is on this basis that the success of organisations is often judged. In tourism, this criterion for measuring innovativeness is flawed. It encourages companies to spend heavily on visible product changes, often at …

The Future Of The Forestry Sector In Ireland, Siobhan Mccarthy
The Future Of The Forestry Sector In Ireland, Siobhan Mccarthy
Articles
The most recent government strategy statement on forestry sets a planting target of 20,000 hectares annually for the Republic of Ireland, but in recent years this target has not been met. Public afforestation is now limited to the management and replacement of existing forests, so private afforestation must increase if this target is to be achieved. This article quantifies the relative importance of competing forestry and agricultural policy incentives in explaining trends in private afforestation. Several policy reforms to encourage forestry planting are proposed, including greater integration of forestry with the Rural Environment Protection Scheme and increasing the upfront payments …

The Strategic Response Of Dublin's Traditional Department Stores To Intensifying Competition, Edmund O'Callaghan, Mary Wilcox
Articles
In Dublin city competition within the retail sector is intensifying and city-centre department stores, in common with other traders, face many challenges. Indigenous retailers must contend not only with each other, but also with an on-going invasion of international retailers who have been attracted by Ireland’s booming economy. UK multiples have made major in-roads into Dublin's retail scene and the city centre's latest shopping mall, The Jervis Centre, is so dominated by UK retailers that it has been christened 'Little Britain' In the past fifty years, many of Dublin's once dominant department stores have succumbed to the vagaries of retailing. …

The Systems Approach To Analysing Supply Chains And Improving Their Performance, Edward Sweeney
The Systems Approach To Analysing Supply Chains And Improving Their Performance, Edward Sweeney
Conference papers
One critical weakness of traditional company-wide business improvement models, which are often based on systems thinking, is that the focus is largely on a company’s internal operations and business processes. As a result of the increasingly complex global supply chains of which companies are part, improving ones own business is no guarantee of success in today’s business environment. This paper describes an extension of traditional systems approaches beyond the operations of an individual company to the complete supply chain. The result is the
Sole Survivors: How Exceptional Companies Survive And Thrive At The Edge, Anto Kerins
Sole Survivors: How Exceptional Companies Survive And Thrive At The Edge, Anto Kerins
Books / Book chapters
Some companies seem born to fail, while others manage to survive and thrive despite great adversity. What are the secrets of the survivors?. Sole Survivors puts nine such companies under the microscope to discover what sets them apart from their less-successful competitors, what make them "exceptional". But these nine are neither blue-chip multinationals nor high-tech operators. They are small to medium-sized European companies in a traditional section that has been decimated in recent times-footwear manufacturing. This book tells the stories of these companies in detail from their historical development through to their current business strategies, from their organisational structures to …
