    Notes: Formal mentoring programmes have developed in public accountingfirms in order to gain career development and organizational advantagesand, although there is substantial literature concerning problems withformal mentoring programmes, there are few studies which actually havecompared the mentoring process at firms with a programme with thoseusing an informal process. Compares mentoring activities at each levelin two accounting firms, one using a formal mentoring programme and theother an informal approach, to see how they differ. Qualitatively, nosignificant differences were found between the two approaches on theperceived influence for career development. Differences were found,though, regarding the respondents' personal development and the numbersof mentor relationships between the two types of approaches. Concludesthat personal development tended to be rated higher under the informalthan the formal approach at the critical staff and senior levels.Regarding numbers of mentor relationships, the results indicate that thesignificant differences were related to rank.

    Notes: Despite the availability of retail management graduates, retailers continue to recruit graduates from any discipline. A key issue, therefore, is to what extent are retail degrees developing the competences of prime importance to retailers? Conversely, considering retailer graduate recruitment objectives, how well do students understand retailers' priorities amongst competences in graduate selection? As a relatively recent management profession, do the retail competences differ from other more established management disciplines such as finance? This paper examines these issues through the results of a survey of employer and undergraduate perceptions of competence development in undergraduate degrees. Findings suggest that retail degrees provided a high level of perceived competence development. However, the strongest focus was not necessarily on those competences the retailers most wished to see in applicants. Furthermore, the competence profile of placement work was no closer to the retailers' selection priorities than that of academic work. The paper concludes with a discussion of the main implications for retailers and retail management degrees.

    Notes: The study examines the process of international market expansion by a relatively new and small franchisor. Particular emphasis is placed on the company's efforts to identify a suitable partner in the host country, the adaptation of the concept to address differences in the new market, and the multitude of critical decisions that need to be made when franchising in international markets. The authors also discuss the role that strategic alliances play in the success of international franchising efforts. The paper concludes with the implications of this case for both researchers and practitioners.

    A common strategic language for clinicians and senior managers (1997)

    Notes: Effective strategic analysis of existing and potential services requires a framework which is relevant and understandable to both clinicians and senior managers. Our work with NHS trusts has developed a framework based on analysis of services into four principal service streams - emergency general hospital, non-emergency general hospital, specialist general hospital and tertiary. Relating service streams to clinical specialties provides a matrix which can provide a basis for an initial analysis of the current and prospective clinical services portfolio, allowing drilling down into the detail and back up to the overall picture. Portfolio effectiveness is assessed by considering overall viability consisting of three interrelated elements - clinical, market and financial viability. The inter-relationship of service streams, clinical specialties and viability allows the trust board and key clinicians to share insights into the current and potential systemic linkages between these three elements and to develop a vision of future strategic direction.

    Competence based management development provision to SMEs and the providers' perspective (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @journal of management development 18 (1999), S. 557-572

    Notes: It has been recognised that management training and development in SMEs is a relatively poorly researched area and that the influencing factors for SMEs are not well understood. This paper outlines a regional study of the interest in competence based management development amongst SMEs. This is compared with a study of the providers' approach to management development provision for the SME market. It is apparent, from the study, that the value of Management NVQs remains unclear both to the provider and the SME recipient. Unless a means can be found to demonstrate value and benefits to both sides it is unlikely that take-up will improve significantly within the SME community or that quality providers will continue to deliver to the sector. The paper highlights the major issues to be addressed for, and with, both parties if progress is to be made.

    Investment in management training and development by small businesses (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The topic of management training and development (MTD) in small businesses is relatively under-researched, and an increased understanding of the factors influencing the purchase of MTD by small businesses is needed. Therefore, a survey of 551 small businesses in the Midlands region of the UK sought to: identify influences on MTD investment and preferred MTD activities; and establish whether small businesses perceive a link between investment in MTD and business success. Interviews were also conducted with 12 organisations. Results show that the organisational characteristics of ownership, size, number of managers and family management have a significant influence on MTD investment. Of the sample organisations, 85 per cent considered investment in MTD to be linked to business success and 80 per cent of organisations engaged in some form of MTD. However, promoters of MTD to small businesses need to recognise that organisations in this sector are not homogeneous and desire customised training.

    Minimum wages, training wages and youth employment (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: High rates of youth unemployment, worldwide, have led governments to advocate a range of policies designed to increase job offers to young workers. For example, the Australian Government is currently introducing a system of "training wages" which will see effective youth wages set well below adult award wages for a designated training period. This policy is designed to simultaneously increase the human capital of young workers as well as help to overcome the initial barriers to entry into the labour market. However, youth-specific wages have been criticized on the basis of age discrimination and on equity grounds. Also, some US data question the employment-boosting potential of reduced minimum youth wages. In this paper recent international findings on the relationship between youth wages and employment are presented and compared with empirical tests of the relationship using labour market data for Australia as a whole as well as the State of Queensland. The results are used to examine the likely impact of the introduction of the training wage on the youth labour market in Australia and to provide further generalizations on the wider issue of employment and youth-specific wages.

    Own branding in UK and French grocery markets (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    The @journal of product & brand management 5 (1996), S. 48-59

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Undertakes a comparative analysis of the evolution and development of own branding strategies in UK and French grocery markets. Primary research was carried out through semi-structured interviews with senior managers of French grocery companies to determine the nature of their own branding strategies and to draw out comparisons with the strategies of their UK counterparts. Results indicate that it is unlikely that French retailers will develop store brands on the scale of Sainsbury's, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Safeway in the UK. The organizational structure of French grocery business is less conducive to centralized buying and distribution, and conflict between manufacturers and distributors has led to a less efficient supply chain than in the UK. These factors, coupled with a highly competitive price-driven market environment, have resulted in most French retailers using own brands as a defensive strategy to combat strong national brands. The exceptions are companies which are well represented in the high street (Monoprix, Casino and Prisunic) and Carrefour, the only hypermarket operator which has ventured down the route of the UK multiples with a more value-added, differentiation approach.
