    Target pricing: a marketing management tool for pricing new cars (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Pricing strategy & practice 5 (1997), S. 61-69 
    Details
    ISSN: 0968-4905

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Over the past 15 years, many UK car manufacturers have learned that quality must be designed into cars before they are manufactured - it is expensive, if not misguided, to create quality by inspection after the car has left the production line. Examines the rigorous cost management technique which helps prevent senior managers from launching low-margin cars which do not generate enough returns on investment. Finds that most UK-based car manufacturers employ the logic of target costing as a marketing management tool to determine the prices of new car models. Suggests that before a new car is launched, senior managers must determine its ideal selling price, establish the feasibility of meeting that price, and then control costs to ensure that the set price is met. Reports the conclusive evidence that when target costing works well, quantifiable hurdles are established in a transparent process, and senior managers are more likely to commit themselves to what the statistical numbers show.

    Notes: The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 established theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and charged it to"provide for the widest practicable and appropriate disseminationof information concerning ... its activities and the resultsthereof". The search for innovative methods to distribute NASA'sinformation led a grassroots team to create the NASA Technical ReportServer (NTRS), which uses the World Wide Web and other popularInternet-based information systems.

    Occupational stress in different organizations: a Saudi Arabian survey (1995)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 10 (1995), S. 24-28 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Reports on a study which utilized responses from 442 employeesworking in 23 different Saudi organizations to assess stress levels andtheir differences with respect to nationality (Saudis, Arabs, Asians andWesterners), age, tenure, type of organization (public, semi-private,private), and organizational size (small, medium, large). The findingssuggest that: the main source of stress for employees working in privateorganizations is the lack of knowledge about their performanceevaluation results, while this is not the case for employees working inpublic organizations; Saudi employees have the highest levels of stress,with Arabs second, Asians third, while Westerners (Europeans and NorthAmericans) registered the lowest levels of stress; employees who areless than 30 years old experience the highest levels of stress;employees with six-to-ten years of experience show the highest levels ofstress; and there is a significant inverse relationship betweeneducational level and stress level.

    Metal concentration of atmospheric inhalable particles in Jedda (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Environmental management and health 6 (1995), S. 7-13 
    Details
    ISSN: 0956-6163
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Medicine , Economics
    Notes: Presents the measured concentrations of iron, zinc, cobalt,chromium, nickel, lead, manganese and sodium in atmospheric inhalablecoarse and fine particles for the period September 1984-April 1986 inJedda, Saudi Arabia. The results show that iron and sodium have thehighest concentrations, indicating that inhalable particles are of soiland sea origin. The metal concentrations of fine inhalable particles aremuch smaller than those of coarse inhalable particles, so that humanhealth is hardly affected.

    Retail influence on food technology and innovation (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Details
    ISSN: 0959-0552
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Food technology and innovation have had a large impact on Britishfood retailing affecting suppliers, retailers and their markets.Technology has invaded many areas of the British food industry providingefficient technical knowledge and new products. Innovative retailershave anticipated the food market metamorphosis and have repositionedtheir retail activities to take advantage of the changing marketenvironment. The central objective of this study was to assessretailers' technical innovations in food manufacturing, and to achievethis a research technique was adopted and conducted with leading UK foodretailers. The results suggested that food retailers' technologicalcapabilityi affects the method of own-label procurement and choice ofsuppliers. Those retailers who were able to influence food innovationall have large food technology departments, employing food technologiststo meet consumer food requirements and legal obligations, and whocollaborate with their suppliers to develop new products. Concludes thatinnovation is vital to the future of both food manufacturers andretailers, and novel and significantly different new products and/orservices will ensure success either way.

    Applications of QFD within a concurrent engineering environment (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of agile management systems 1 (1999), S. 88-98 
    Details
    ISSN: 1465-4652
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Technology
    Notes: Companies needing to establish competitive advantage must ensure their products are brought to market quickly, with the quality features sought by potential customers. Concurrent Engineering techniques can reduce time scales, but quality issues are more difficult, as customers' needs are not readily available to the project team throughout the design process, so design effort may focus on satisfying a functional specification, imperfectly translated from customer requirements, rather than on satisfying the real customer needs as perceived in the market. The research reported here demonstrates how a Concurrent Engineering environment and Quality Function Deployment techniques can be brought together to provide an extended design team with valuable, shared information throughout the design process.

    Design for customer satisfaction: an information modelling approach (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Integrated manufacturing systems 10 (1999), S. 199-209 
    Details
    ISSN: 0957-6061
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics , Economics
    Notes: The role of market information is critical to the success or failure of new product introduction. The challenge of bringing market information to design engineers throughout the design process is addressed, using an information modelling approach. This allows valuable quality function deployment (QFD) information to be captured alongside other product design information, within an object-oriented database. An environment that facilitates the collection, modification and evaluation of information for QFD analysis is provided. This integrated software environment allows valuable market information to be shared between multi-discipline project team members. Use of the decision support system is demonstrated through a case study.

    Gilsonite varnish from acid sludge produced by the recovery of used lubricating oil (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Pigment & resin technology 26 (1997), S. 221-224 
    Details
    ISSN: 0369-9420
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition Technology
    Notes: Acid sludge produced from regeneration of used lubricating oil was chemically treated in order to convert it in to a saleable product. Investigates treatment with different inorganic formulations. Determines and discusses the optimum formulation composition. Characterizes the spectroscopic analysis, thermogravimetric and rheology behaviours, and hydrocarbon type analysis (asphaltene, oil and resin) of the extracted multicomponent resin (MCR-1). Uses the MCR-1 for the preparation of gilsonite varnish. The physico-chemical properties of the latter were determined and compared with those of a standard gilsonite varnish. Concludes that treatment of acid sludge with different salt formulations provides a potentially lowest cost source of gilsonite varnish for news ink and also helps reduce an environmental problem created by re-refining used oil.
