Privatization Methods And Productivity Effects In Romanian Industrial Enterprises, John S. Earle, Álmos Telegdy Apr 2002

Privatization Methods And Productivity Effects In Romanian Industrial Enterprises, John S. Earle, Álmos Telegdy

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

Comprehensive panel data on privatization transactions and labor productivity in Romanian industrial corporations are used to describe the post-privatization ownership structure, and to estimate the effect of Romania's diverse privatization policies on firm performance. The econometric results show consistently positive, highly significant effects of private ownership on labor productivity growth, the point estimates imply- ing an increased 1.0 to 1.7 percentage growth for a 10 percent rise in private shareholding. The strongest estimated impacts are associated with sales to outside blockholders; insider transfers and mass privatization are estimated to have significantly smaller—although still positive—effects on firm performance.

"Especiallly The Mulato Ones Like To Dance” Cuban Films And Discourses Of Ethnic Difference, Shannon N. (Shannon Nicole) Budelman Apr 2002

"Especiallly The Mulato Ones Like To Dance” Cuban Films And Discourses Of Ethnic Difference, Shannon N. (Shannon Nicole) Budelman

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

This paper examines the meaning of ethnicity in contemporary Cuba. By conceptualizing inequality as structured in both the public and private realms of society, I argue that the private realm should be given equal weight in social research on ethnic inequality. The paper differentiates between structural inequality in the public realm, which has been largely addressed by the previous literature on Cuban society, and the meaning of ethnic difference at the cultural level, which shapes the nature of social interactions in the private realm. Drawing on both the sociology of culture and cinema studies, I analyze Cuban films for representations …

A Pilot Study On Job Satisfaction And Conflict Resolution Of Female Employees Working For Female Employers, Keanan B. (Keanan Breanne) Jacobson Apr 2002

A Pilot Study On Job Satisfaction And Conflict Resolution Of Female Employees Working For Female Employers, Keanan B. (Keanan Breanne) Jacobson

WWU Honors College Senior Projects

Whether in business, volunteering, family life, personal friendships or daily interactions, employers view individuals who manage conflict successfully as competent communicators and capable leaders. “Indeed, those who are unable to manage conflict effectively may have trouble reaching organizational goals (Mathur & Sayeed, 1983; Nicotera, 1995), maintaining positive relationships and cohesiveness (Canary, Cupach & Messman, 1995; Coser, 1956), and solving problems (Hall, 1986). Individuals who have difficulty handling conflict are also more likely to be dissatisfied with their jobs (Infante & Gorden, 1985a, 1985b, 1991; Infante, Anderson, Martin, Herington, & Kim, 1993). Thus, it is imperative that researchers determine how competent …

Ukrainian Mine Action, Sergio Pashinsky Apr 2002

Ukrainian Mine Action, Sergio Pashinsky

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

There is no doubt that the Ukraine is a mine and UXO affected country. This fact is well known but still not recognized by the international mine action community. Perhaps the biggest issue is that the Ukrainian government has not acknowledged this national challenge, and consequently, international assistance has not been given.

National Mine Action: Problems And Predictions, Vernon Joynt Apr 2002

National Mine Action: Problems And Predictions, Vernon Joynt

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

I recently received an e-mail with real good bait on the line so I would commit to sticking my neck in the noose once more. The questions included: Will technology ever improve speed and safety in Humanitarian Demining (HD)? What is the comparative efficiency among commercial, military and NGO clearance? Will dogs be more or less integrated into HD programs? When will land use priorities determine clearance priorities? Is "donor fatigue" a reality? If so, how do we fix it? These questions are right in the middle of my current pet struggle to give technology its rightful role and place …
