Sharing Transportation Gis Data, Kenneth Dueker, Paul Bender, Jihong Zhang

Center for Urban Studies Publications and Reports

Updating and maintaining Geographic Information Systems-Transportation data (GIS-T data) is proving difficult. Different database formats needed to support diverse applications leads to inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and duplication in updating. Dueker and Butler (1998) have proposed an Enterprise GIS-T data model that unbundles the various components of transportation data (network links, cartography, and attributes) to facilitate generating application-specific networks, and which eases updating and maintenance. However, developers of existing application-specific databases that employ integrated data models that bundle the network link with cartography and attributes are reluctant to step back to an intermediate form for managing their data. Consequently, attention is …

Enabling Business - Community Partnerships, Seema Gupta

IIMB Management Review

The decade of the 1990s has perhaps seen the most profound changes in global economic structures. The effects of structural adjustment and globalisation and the emergence of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) have meant that the role of business has dramatically changed throughout the world. Statistics of the number of corporations that are larger than nation-states abound and only illustrate the importance of the corporate sector and its impact on the world order.

Liberalisation And Human Resource Management: Challenges For The Corporations Of Tomorrow: By Arun Monappa And Mahrukh Engineer, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., Sanjib Kumar Hota

IIMB Management Review

The book under review is an attempt to assess the role of human resource management in both public and private sector corporations in coping with liberalisation in India. Through a survey of CEOs and senior professionals in 22 Indian corporations, Monappa and Engineer have assessed the impact of liberalisation and discussed the paradigms and techniques of human resource management for managing the change effectively. They also highlight the need for reframing the worker-management relationship or human resource policies by Indian companies in view of the new HR paradigms. Finally, the authors examine the impact of enabling technology on the organisations …

Organisational Development Revisited, Vijay Padaki

IIMB Management Review

The liberalisation in the Indian economic environment in the 90s has been accompanied by a quiet but firm demand for better management in all spheres of work. The liberalisation process has also opened up the marketplace for all kinds of goods and services, not excluding packaged management systems. We can expect a lot of management being marketed in the new dispensation more suppliers, more products, more brands, more aggressive selling and, lest we forget, more dumping. The consumer needs help in the supermarket to make informed choices. In the management bazaar, too, the consumer could do with some guidance.

Evaluative Inquiry For Learning In Organizations: By Hallie Preskill And Rosalie T. Torres, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., Lakshmanan Prasad

IIMB Management Review

As a Professor of Organisational Behaviour, I frequently meet persons doing surveys in their organisations on employee attitudes, satisfaction, and so on. Because of their lack of experience, these are usually not very well executed. The questionnaires used to collect data are generally inadequate, making it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions. By the time they approach me after the fact, it is too late to rectify matters. Therefore, I have often wished to recommend a book that could help individuals who would like to do their own surveys and interventions in their organisations. This book by Preskill and Torres should …

Psychology For Trainers: By Alison Hardingham, London: Universities Press, 1999, Vasanthi Srinivasan

IIMB Management Review

Trainer effectiveness is a critical dimension in successful training programmes. In recent times, a number of self-help and how-to books have tried to address some aspects of trainer effectiveness. The University Press series on ‘training essentials’ is an addition to the subject. The books in the series written by experts are intended to act as core readings for trainers who wish to obtain competency in the area of training. The current book differs from the other books in the series mainly in the emphasis. While most of the other books focus on the training function in the organisation (as evident …

The Effects Of Role-Taking And Embarrassability On Undergraduate Drinking: Some Unanticipated Findings, Lizabeth A. Crawford, Katherine B. Novak

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This paper focuses on the relationship between role-taking, affect, and alcohol use among college undergraduates. Role-taking is the process through which people anticipate the perspectives—expectations, evaluations, and behaviors—of others (Mead, 1934). Reflexive role-taking (i.e.,viewing oneself through the eyes of others) was significantly related to four distinct types of embarrassment. However, in opposition to our hypotheses, embarrassment resulting from becoming the center of others’ attentions was the only form of embarrassability significantly related to undergraduate drinking. Moreover, it was those students least susceptible to this type of embarrassment who were the most likely to be drinkers. While role-taking, in general, was …
