Bar Coding And The Construction Industry In Georgia And Alabama, Herbert Marion Barber Jr.

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations (1964–2006)

Effective construction project management relies on data that can be processed into information (Bernold, 1990). Therefore, information on the construction project plays a key role in construction project management (Abudayyeh, 1991). Consequently, information management on the construction project is vital to the success of the construction project (Rasdorf, 1990). Bar coding is one option that can be used in the construction industry as an effective means of managing information (Stukhart, 1987).

The retail and manufacturing industries have used bar coding technology for several years to manage information (Bell, 1988) although the use of bar coding technology to manage information in …

Managing Creativity For Corporate Excellance By Pn Rastogi : Macmillan India, 1996., Nina Jacob

IIMB Management Review

This particular book has a few sections which are best skipped by readers who are unfamiliar with the subject matter of creativity. Chapter 2 begins, “Creativity has come to be recognized as a valuable resource influenced by competitive factors”. What in effect Rastogi implies is that the capacity o be creative can imbue  an organisation with a competitive edge over its rivals, as is borne out after reading the section entitled “creativity as a competive resource”. For executives who want to outperform their peers, simply having a high need for achievement is not enough. Managers should know how to creatively …

Shouldn’T Management Processes Be Reengineered, Too?, K B C Saxena

IIMB Management Review

When organisations reengineer their business processes, they generally tend to concentrate on operational processes rather than management activities. This is because organisation management is traditionally regarded as a function, rather than a process. Process orientation provides an opportunity to improve organisational performance and has been at the root of organisational improvement philosophies such as ‘total quality management’ (TQM) and ‘business process reengineering’ (BPR). The changing business environment poses challenges to management in terms of better coordination, timeto- market, management control, organisational learning, etc. In order to meet these challenges, it is imperative that process orientation should be extended to management …

A Model For Comparative Analysis Of Business Community Expectations Of Printing Companies And Printer Perceptions Of Those Expectations, Kevin Lloyd Hudson

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations (1964–2006)

The problem of this study was to compare the Statesboro, Georgia business community's expectations of printing companies to the expectations printers perceive the businesses have. All of the local printers, and a sample of the local Chamber of Commerce corporate members (non-printers) were given identical survey forms which measured their expectations and perceptions. The forms were hand-delivered, picked-up the next day and tabulated to put the data in graphical form. A comparison of the two groups revealed some agreement and some disagreement in expectations and perceptions. After completing the study, it was determined that the research method is valid and …

A Framework For Mapping And Managing Creativity And Innovation, S Mohan

IIMB Management Review

Organisations and individuals live in an era of constant change. Growth and survival are dependent on coping with these trends and changes. Many organisations suffer from increasing costs, stagnating productivity and shrinking profits, mostly due to lack of original thinking by the management and the employees. In today’s business, organisations face new problems, unique opportunities and the unexpected. The corporate management, apart from coping on a reactive basis, must develop sheer power of new innovative ideas. New products and services, effective marketing strategies and new technologies need to be developed using creative ideas.
