    Continuous causal representation of space–time via sphere orderings (2000)
    College Park, Md. : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Mathematical Physics 41 (2000), S. 6525-6528 
    Details
    ISSN: 1089-7658

    Topics: Mathematics , Physics
    Notes: A space–time can be regarded as a partially ordered set, or poset, where the partial ordering is causal precedence. The question of when this poset can be represented by spheres in Euclidean space is investigated, and it is shown that spaces which can be so represented are rare, if the position and radius of the spheres are required to be continuous functions on the space–time. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    The Designation and Removal of Trustee Stock Status: Wealth Effects (2004)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of business finance & accounting 31 (2004), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This study investigates the impact of trustee stock status announcements on shareholders’ wealth in Singapore. An event study methodology is used to ascertain the abnormal returns around the announcement day. The results show that there is a positive and permanent wealth effect on trustee stocks resulting from designation announcements. Conversely, when trustee stocks lose their status, the significant negative abnormal returns suggest that shareholders’ wealth is adversely affected. This reaction, however, appears to be a temporary phenomenon and is not simply a mirror image of designation announcements. The differences in the underlying regulatory structures partially explain the findings.

    Construction of dwellings and structures in ancient China (2001)

    Notes: Construction works, which contributed to the built environment of the primitive, slave and feudal societies in ancient China, constitute an important component of Chinese history. This paper discusses the nest and cave dwellings as well as the tools used in the primitive society (before 2100 BC) of China. Construction works in the Slave Society (2100-500 BC) encompassed the construction of city walls as well as wood and earth structures, covering roofs, wall and floor facing, and drainage facilities. The invention of new building materials and construction tools as well as standardization in working procedures and material consumption are discussed in "Feudal society" (221 BC-AD 1840). The paper suggests that the more than 5,000 years of rich history of construction works in China should not be ignored.

    Asian management style versus Western management theories - A Singapore case study in construction project management (2001)

    Notes: The Asian financial crisis snowballed in July 1997 following the devaluation of the Thai baht. This triggered off a chain reaction which led to similar crises in many countries in Asia, including Singapore. One of the arguments put forward to explain the financial crisis in Asia relates to the Asian style of management, which purportedly includes kinsmanship and guanxi or family connections. But is this really the case? Is the Asian management style significantly different from the Western style of management? It is shown that the style of management in Asian countries can also be explained and described using contemporary management theories from the West. This is achieved through a case study in construction project management for a typical family-run building firm in Singapore. Field observations on the construction site suggest that the style of management in Asia can be related to modern management theories from the West.

    An exploratory study of Hofstede's cross-cultural dimensions in construction projects (2002)

    Notes: Singaporean construction firms have increasingly invested in China in recent years. It is, therefore, important for Singaporean construction firms as well as their Chinese counterparts to appreciate and understand each other's cultural differences/similarities. Although Singapore culture appears to be one based predominately on Chinese culture, there remain differences between the two, which, if not properly understood, can lead to ineffectiveness and misunderstandings. Using the four dimensions of a national culture established by Hofstede, this exploratory study examines what constitute Singapore culture and Chinese culture. Through a survey of Singaporean and Chinese respondents working in China and an analysis of Hofstede's four dimensions of a national culture, the study extrapolates the cross-cultural dimensions brought about by the two cultures within the context of construction projects.

    Quantifying the relationships between buildability, structural quality and productivity in construction (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 19 (2001), S. 106-112 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Achieving high productivity and quality standards are two important issues in the construction industry. Buildability is an important concept adopted to help raise productivity and quality standards in the industry. While it is generally acknowledged that buildability is able to help raise productivity and quality standards in construction, no study has so far provided quantitative evidence to support the positive relationships between buildability, productivity and quality. Buildability is measured using the buildable design appraisal system in Singapore. Likewise, quality is measured using the construction quality assessment system. Productivity of building projects is measured by means of the floor area constructed per manday. By correlating these quantitative measures, there is empirical evidence to support the positive relationships between buildability, structural quality and productivity in construction.

    Chinese business principles from the eastern Zhou dynasty (770-221 BC): are they still relevant today? (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Marketing intelligence & planning 19 (2001), S. 200-208 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-4503
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper suggests that ancient Chinese business principles introduced by Tao Zhugong during the eastern Zhou dynasty (770-221 BC) are still relevant for modern-day business and management practices at the individual, company and country level. The 24 business principles extracted from Tao Zhugong's original 18 principles are presented in the paper with supporting real life cases drawn from the modern-day business setting. The match between Tao Zhugong's business principles and anecdotal cases suggests that these principles are relevant and are still practised today. The paper concludes by urging Western leaders, managers and businessmen to draw lessons for their own operations, especially if they have business dealings in China and with the Chinese in other parts of the world.

    Techniques for environmental control and structural integrity of buildings in ancient China (2004)

    Notes: China is among one of the oldest civilizations in the world. The massive land mass of China also means that the Chinese people are subject to weather extremes as well as topographical variety in a country which cuts across alpine heights, treacherous deserts, lush valleys, dusty plains and lengthy rivers. With these weather extremes as the backdrop, it is crucial for the Chinese people to develop appropriate environmental control techniques for their dwellings as well as to ensure the structural integrity of their buildings. This paper discusses the protection, heating, anti-seismic and dampness techniques developed and implemented in ancient China. It also documents the measures taken by the ancient Chinese to ensure the structural integrity of their buildings. The examples highlighted in this paper suggest that the building science principles adopted in ancient China remain relevant in the construction industry today.
