    Notes: The computing occupations are in a state of transition between a technical service and something more central to organizational power and decision-making. This process has had complex implications for the nature of computing work and for careers. There is no certainty that embryonic changes will carry through. But neither should the chances of these occupations of mounting a ‘collective mobility project’ be written off early.

    Notes: The relationship between new information and communication technology and organizations is the subject of considerable debate. So too is the nature of organizational transformation. ‘Business process re-engineering’, with its emphasis upon the strategic deployment of information systems, brings both debates together. But does it resolve any of the issues?

    Notes: This article critically examines the phenomenon of ‘Reengineering’ (or Business Process Reengineering: as it is sometimes called) as a transfer of ‘just-in-time’ techniques developed in manufacturing to the office environment. The article concludes that its most likely diffusion will be for ‘downsizing’ and ‘cost-reduction’, and may result in a modest degree of success in only some of its applications to manufacturing and office environments.

The case study is of the software manual printing industry in Ireland, and its relationship with the major, international software companies.

    Notes: Drawing on empirical material from comparative research on jobbing printing in Iceland and Sweden, the author argues that the typesetting process has been subjected to deskilling, and he stresses that the development has been far more complex than often is realised. He concludes that gender, firm size, and production run and variety, must be considered in order to explain the diversity in the typesetting process.

    Notes: Small and family-owned businesses play an important role in job creation. In this study, perceived barriers to succession planning are examined. Small business owners (most of whom were family businesses) were asked about these barriers to succession planning and the potential interest in educational programs for small businesses. Based on these data, potential tools and seminars were developed.

    Notes: This article summarizes findings from an exploratory investigation of factors related to preference for employment in family-owned firms. The sample for the study consists of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in business management classes. Discriminant analysis was used to identify life history and job characteristic variables that distinguish between groups of individuals who expressed a high and low preference for working in a family-owned firm. Additional findings from the study are summarized, and implications for the management of family firms are discussed.

    Notes: This study models the influence of family relationships on succession variables, using a sample of 130 participants from 109 family businesses. Results suggest that the effects of family adaptability and family cohesion on succession planning and successor training are determined by the family'S commitment to the business and the quality of the owner-manager and successor relationship. The study finds that the influence of family relationships on administrative behavior in family businesses is not always direct, as was previously assumed, but is mediated by various factors.

    Notes: Distinctions among various firm ownership types have gained increasing attention among organizational researchers. The basic premise advanced is that ownership type affects firm processes and outcomes. Extant research, however, has largely addressed the relationship between ownership type and firm performance, with little attention to the means for achieving higher performance. This study investigates the relationships among firms' ownership structure, strategic posture, and firm growth. Strategic posture can provide a firm with a means for attaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace and achieving superior performance. Results indicate that strategic posture does not differ based on the ownership structure of the firm. Additionally, regression analysis demonstrates no effect for ownership structure or strategic posture on firm growth.

    Notes: This study identifies groups of women entrepreneurs who were subject to varying degrees of family influence. The term family intensity was derived to characterize those firms that had family investors and family members employed in the business. Eight hundred thirty-two women business owners were sampled, representing a wide variety of industrial sectors. The findings suggest that family intensity plays a significant role in strategic planning and degree of involvement in the business. Family-intense firms were more likely to engage in growth and expansion planning and to report greater sales performance. Furthermore, the results suggest that family intensity affects careerism and ownership issues confronting the woman entrepreneur.

    Notes: Family businesses are fertile fields for conflict. The influence of the founding families on the basic tenets and culture of the company may be unparalleled in business. When attempts are made to modify the family business as it progresses to another stage of development, conflict may arise. Due to the verlay of the company culture and individual family units, the means to resolve conflict becomes a very intricate process. This article examines a means to predict conflict relative to the phases of development of a family business. In addition, multiple levels of conflict are examined as well as the appropriate resolution process for the differing levels of conflict.

    Notes: Although many streams of management research address leadership, succession, and executive development issues, significant gaps in the literature remain. In particular, few studies have systematically explored the systems by which the future leaders (successors) of family firms are developed. This research presents a descriptive study in which the successor development approaches of small to medium-sized family and nonfamily firms are compared. The findings indicate that (1) family firms favor more personal, relationship-centered approaches to successor development; (2) nonfamily firms prefer formalized, task-oriented development approaches; and (3) company size has no real effect on successor development.

    Notes: Should a family business stay in the family? The question is really academic, since families appear to be in business to stay. But, when the management moves from one generation to the next, the transition is often far from orderly. In addition, as the company develops, there is a need for a management style that goes beyond survival thinking, and entrepreneurs tend not to be reorganizes. In fact, while a sometimes bitter power struggle is peaking, the fortunes of the company may be sliding downhill. In other cases, power struggles are part of a healthy transition. According to these authors, family and company transitions will be more productive when they are simultaneous. The eternal problem involves the older generation's making use of the flexibility and new ideas of the succeeding generation. Third party involvement may help to prevent irreparable family rifts and company stagnation. Dialogues between all the parties–family managers, relatives, employees, and outsiders–can also help.

    Notes: Over 600 family firms were involved in this examination of the impact of human resource management (HRM) and professional governance practices on family business success and survival. Our findings identified some of the most prevalent family firm HRM practices and found significant positive correlations among HRM practices, gross firm revenues, and CEO personal income levels. The results support prior arguments for competitive advantage in the marketplace gained through effective use of HRM practices. An interesting additional finding was that while boards of directors, strategic planning, and frequent family meetings were correlated with business longevity over multiple generations, succession planning was not. Such practices are important. for current competitive advantage and may also be crucial to the longevity of the business.

    Notes: Although there is increasing reason to believe that the organizational goals of family businesses distinguish them from nonfamily businesses, there has been little development of these implications for marketing management. This study demonstrates the applicability of family business theory to marketing management by assessing the organizational buying behavior of high-end family businesses through a process of segmenting them by organizational goals that include family as well as business objectives. Results confirm that insights from the rapidly developing body of knowledge in the family business field have relevance to providers who have targeted the family business market.

    Notes: There has been little empirical research investigating the performance differences between family-owned and non-family-owned businesses. This study investigated differences in efficiency between family-owned and non-family-owned nursing homes in the State of Oregon, as defined and identified by data envelopment analysis (DBA) and by selected traditional financial measures. More family-owned nursing homes than non-family-owned homes were identified as inefficient, and family-owned nursing homes were found to have significantly fewer assets and more liabilities than non-family-owned homes. Suggested reasons for the results are discussed.

    Notes: The development of information technologies has led to the restructuringof the boundaries within and between organizations in a number of areasof social life. Examines the impact of a specific form of informationtechnology being introduced in the field of punishment and control– the electronic monitoring of sentenced offenders. Electronicsurveillance and home imprisonment are features of the currentrestructuring of the boundaries between prison, work and family life. Itis both the physical and the cultural boundaries between "home" and"prison" that are being readjusted. Over the past 200 years these twospheres of social life have been constructed around incompatible sets ofvalues. However the complex contradictions involved in making theboundaries between these two spheres more permeable have not been fullyexplored in current penal discourses.

    Notes: The difficulties in designing and implementing successful technologicalsystems which support business objectives, good work practices and highquality outcomes are well known. Discusses the "modernisation" of theAustralian Taxation Office - an ambitious ten-year programme oforganizational and tech-nological change - which has its origins in theneed for re-equipment and the recognition that the new systems mustsupport the way in which the Taxation Office would work in the future.Review of the programme mid-term shows considerable success, but alsoareas where it has been difficult to achieve some of the aims. In spiteof the participatory framework, participants tend to feel thattechnology has driven the process, rather than business or workplacerequirements. In particular, some initiatives have impacted negativelyon workers, and it has been difficult to integrate the implementation ofnew systems with the design of better work practices. Recognition ofthese problems has encouraged the development of new approaches to workand systems design, and considerable further organizational andstructural change.

    Notes: Many information systems involve data about people. In order reliably toassociate data with particular individuals, it is necessary that aneffective and efficient identification scheme be established andmaintained. There is remarkably little in the information technologyliterature concerning human identification. Seeks to overcome thatdeficiency by undertaking a survey of human identity and humanidentification. Discusses techniques including names, codes,knowledge-based and token-based identification, and biometrics.Identifies the key challenge to management as being to devise a schemewhich is practicable and economic, and of sufficiently high integrity toaddress the risks the organization confronts in its dealings withpeople. Proposes that much greater use be made of schemes which aredesigned to afford people anonymity, or which enable them to usemultiple identities or pseudonyms, while at the same time protecting theorganization's own interest. Describes multi-purpose and inhabitantregistration schemes, and notes the recurrence of proposals to implementand extend them. Identifies public policy issues. Of especial concern isthe threat to personal privacy that the general-purpose use of aninhabitant registrant scheme represents. Speculates that, where suchschemes are pursued energetically, the reaction may be strong enough tothreaten the social fabric.

    Notes: Broad coalitions of companies, governments, and research institutions inseveral countries are currently designing massive electronicinfrastructures for their roadways. Known collectively as intelligentvehicle-highway systems (IVHS), these technologies are intended to easetoll collection and commercial vehicle regulation, provide drivers withroute and traffic information, improve safety and ultimately supportfully automated vehicles. Although many aspects of IVHS are uncertain,some proposed designs require the system to collect vast amounts of dataon individuals' travel patterns, thus raising the potential for severeinvasions of privacy. To make social choices about IVHS, it is necessaryto reason about potentials for authoritarian uses of an IVHSinfrastructure in the hypothetical future. Yet such reasoning isdifficult, often veering towards Utopian or dystopian extremes. To helpanchor the privacy debate, places IVHS privacy concerns in aninstitutional context, offering conceptual frameworks to discuss thepotential interactions between IVHS technologies and the computer designprofession, standards-setting bodies, marketing organizations, the legalsystem and government administrative agencies.

    Notes: Examines the power-related properties of professional and organizationalsystems and considers their influence on reactions to sexual harassment.It is argued that, when the socio-cultural power model of male dominanceoperates within pluralistic/political professional and organizationalsystems, these systems can become breeding-grounds for sexual harassmentbehaviours that are tolerated rather than told on. A contrast betweencareers within systems and less systems bound jobs illustrates theinfluence of context on decisions to tell or tolerate.

    Notes: Sets out to look at the career experiences of women in personnel. Asurvey was undertaken of 149 women studying for examinations leading tomembership of the Institute of Personnel Management. The results showthat the issues facing women in personnel were the same as those facingother women in organizations. Women in personnel face a glass ceilingaround Personnel Officer level. In addition, however, these womenidentified that the personnel role often lacked status in organizationsand that the qualities they possessed, which had attracted them into thepersonnel profession, were not particularly valued in organizations.However, with the take-up of human resource policies and the emphasis on"people skills" women in personnel could be in a key position tocapitalize on the changing needs of organizations and play an importantrole in the process. In order to ensure that women in personnel haveequality of opportunity, there is a need for positive action from thetop of organizations, from the Institute of Personnel Management andfrom women in personnel themselves.

    Notes: Reports the findings of a combined survey of 42 mixed retailers, using apostal questionnaire and personal interviews solicited from 16companies. Researchers sought information regarding the numbers of womenholding senior management positions in the responding retailers and theapproach and attitude of retail companies to the advancement of women.Results reveal no shortage of goodwill towards the provision of equalopportunities for women, with many responding companies activelypursuing policies aimed at improving the gender balance of theirworkforce. Six senior women interviewees confirmed that workingconditions in retail were a factor in the statistics, but they suggestedthat negative attitudes from staff and customers also play a part. Theisolation of lone senior women was confirmed by personal interviews, andin-company mentors were identified as a possible help in that regard.The problem of balancing a family and career remains while storemanagers are believed to be omnipresent.

    Notes: Very little Australian literature looks at women as leaders ineducation. Using theoretical viewpoints emerging out of a biographicaland historical analysis, it is possible to construct a more inclusivemodel of leadership which includes both men and women in the past.Mapping such a process historically and biographically can give adetailed assessment of the social, historical and political dimensionsof particular women leaders' lives and also develop a theoreticalframework, which gives equal status to the leadership experiences morecommon to women. Presents a historical narrative where recording livesraises critical questions at the same time as it unearths new evidenceof the history of women educationists in Australia.

    Notes: Introduces the concept of strategic decision making as a key managementrole and the lack of women's involvement in this role as a means forunderstanding the organizational barriers faced by women in moderntimes. Studies strongly suggest that the shortage of women managers instrategic decision-making positions is due to the barriers they facewithin organizations. Furthermore, that these barriers emerge as a primefactor for limiting their effectiveness. Despite the increasing numberof women working in organizations, they still remain a minority or mere"tokens" when it comes to senior or strategic decision-making positions inmost organizations. Describes some of these barriers and suggests theway forward.

    Notes: Computer matching is a mass surveillance technique involving thecomparison of data about many people, which have been acquired frommultiple sources. Its use offers potential benefits, particularlyfinancial savings. It is also error-prone, and its power results inthreats to established patterns and values. The imperatives ofefficiency and equity demand that computer matching be used, and theinformation privacy interest demands that it be used only wherejustified, and be subjected to effective controls. Provides backgroundto this important technique, including its development and applicationin the USA and in Australia, and a detailed technical description.Contends that the technique, its use, and controls over its use are veryimportant issues which demand research. Computing, telecommunicationsand robotics artefacts which have the capacity to change societyradically need to be subjected to early and careful analysis, not onlyby sociologists, lawyers and philosophers, but also by informationtechnologists themselves.

    Notes: At one level, the function of a marketplace is to enable sellers andbuyers to meet, to agree to terms and conditions, and effect contracts.At another level, however, a marketplace is a mechanism for ensuringthat information which might affect the terms and conditions is readilyavailable to all participants, so that the pricing for sales will not beunduly influenced by participants with special information or otheradvantages, but rather will approach the theoretical price at which themarket will settle. Information technology is increasingly being appliedto support the exchange of goods and services. It may be used simply toautomate existing practices. Alternatively, the introduction oftechnology into the market may provide an opportunity to rationalize thearrangements. In some instances, however, the implementation of IT maybe grasped as a strategic weapon, by a buyer, a seller, or by anorganization which provides marketplace services to buyers and sellers.Considers another kind of strategic use of IT in relation tomarketplaces. This is the enforcement of fairness in the setting ofprices, by drawing participants into a marketplace in which keydifferences in market power are equalized. Evaluates the outcomes of anelectronic exchange supporting trading in chilled and frozen meat.

    Notes: The evolution of information technology is likely to result in intimateinterdependence between humans and technology. This fusion has beencharacterized in popular science fiction as chip implantation. It is,however, more likely to take the form of biometric identification usingsuch technologies as fingerprints, hand geometry and retina scanning.Some applications of biometric identification technology are nowcost-effective, reliable and highly accurate. As a result, biometricsystems are being developed in many countries for such purposes associal security entitlement, payments, immigration control and electionmanagement. Whether or not biometry delivers on its promise ofhigh-quality identification, it will imperil individual autonomy.Widespread application of the technologies would conflict withcontemporary values, and result in a class of outcasts.

    Notes: Considers the role of women within academia and outlines theirexperience of decision making within this context. Outlines thesignificant results of a study on female academics within one instituteof higher education. In particular, women are found to experience anexclusion from informal networks and a consequent lack of access toreal-time information via the grapevine. They also perceive themselvesto have less influence on organizational decision making than their malecounterparts and suffer from a greater feeling of intimidation ofauthority, finding it difficult to make themselves heard indecision-making meetings.

    Notes: Investigates the lending needs of the self-employed and of micro-basedbusinesses. Describes the lack of coherence between the evaluativecriteria used in traditional lending models and the needs of businessowners. Findings suggest that the standard "5 C" model for assessing theviability of loan applications does not meet the needs of the presentbusiness environment. Women business owners may be at a disadvantagewhen applying for a business loan as the supposedly "objective" criteriaare applied in a "subjective" manner to the detriment of femaleentrepreneurs. Presents information on the characteristics of micro-loanprogrammes and proposes a market approach to micro-loan practices thatis better adapted to changing finance opportunities.

    Notes: In 1992 the Australian Federal Government established an Industry TaskForce on Leadership and Management Skills to make recommendations forimproving the skills of managers. The task force commissioned theproduction of a core MBA curriculum unit on Effective Organizations:Gender Issues in Management. Although gender stereotyping has nottraditionally been considered as a strategic business issue within MBAprogrammes, this topic was considered a critical component of thedevelopment of leadership and management skills, and a fundamentalelement in the drive towards greater organizational effectiveness. Indeveloping the unit, the researchers identified both a reluctance andlack of preparedness on the part of both academics and industrymanagement to deal with these issues. The resulting package thereforerecognizes the sensitivities associated with the subject, and thedifficulties of addressing gender issues in management. It also offers arange of delivery options, and has potential for uptake in countriesother than Australia. Briefly describes the origins, focus and contentof the package produced for the task force in 1994, and discusses theimplications of the material for the career development of womenmanagers.

    Notes: The growth of women in management positions has largely been at juniorlevels. This has been particularly so within the education sector, wherethe growth in the number of women employed has had little impact on theproportion of women in senior positions. One explanation for the lack ofwomen in senior management positions has been the male stereotyping ofthe manager role. Reports on a survey, using the Schein DescriptiveIndex, which was carried out among academics in 19 UK business schoolsor management departments of the new universities which showed differentpatterns of stereotyping from that found among managers in otherorganizations. Male academics at lower levels did not stereotype themanager role at all, but those in senior positions stereotyped themanager role as male. Among the female academics the results showed noassociation between the characteristics of successful managers and thoseof women in general, but some association between the characteristics ofmanagers and men in general.

    Notes: A number of articles have appeared in the Harvard Business Review(HBR) in recent years in which reference is made to the traditional viewthat male = manager, and how this has worked against women makinginroads into senior management positions. The HBR often interspersescartoons among the articles - cartoons which appear to perpetuate themale-as-manager norm. The results of a content analysis of the cartoonsappearing in the HBR over the five-year period, 1988-1992 are presented.The content analysis suggests women appear as marginal players in thecartoon images of the organizational world. Not only do women appear insubstantially fewer cartoons than men, there is also a wide divergencein how men and women are portrayed. The most common representations ofwomen are as wife or secretary, although there is the occasional nurse,air hostess and fortune-teller! The images of men, however, areoverwhelmingly associated with paid work. The images of women and menportrayed in the HBR perpetuate and reinforce the expectation that"male = manager". It may be that such cartoons can be considered trivialon their own, but cumulatively they can play a powerful role in definingthe "appropriate" person for the manager's job.

    Notes: Presents evidence from a research study into the impact of gender onmanagement styles, using repertory grid as a methodology. Generalizeddifferences were identified in the approaches of women and men todefinition of the job, overall style, decision making and interpersonalrelationships. Men had greater visibility to other men, while a broaderinsight was offered by women interviewees into the women managers'approaches. In the context of patriarchal power relations, in whichmasculinity is defined as opposite and superior to femininity, feminineworking styles are perceived as less effective in organizations, whilemasculine attributes tend to be regarded as normatively the way tomanage. Such values can imbue recruitment, selection and developmentpractices with gender bias. Recent management and leadership theory hasadvocated the value of a people-centred approach, which traditionallyand stereotypically has been associated with women. This might appear toopen up opportunity for women. Concludes that there is a need to bealert to a redefinition of patriarchal relations as men seek to maintainstatus.

    Notes: There is growing evidence in Australia that cultural factors are thefinal impediment to women's progress into senior management. Examinesthe "cultural dilemma" that women managers present from organizational,managerial and personal perspectives. It is felt that women can assisttheir situation by altering their mode of operation from a "victim"mentality to one of a "power" mentality: by making up their minds whetherthey want to "share" power or get the male managerial culture to"yield" power; by making a concerted effort to close the nexus on theeconomic front; by educating chief executive officers as to imperativefor cultural change; and by both using and supporting various governmentagencies and Equal Employment Opportunity Officers.

    Notes: As the workforce evolves in the twenty-first century, more women areentering higher-level management positions. The traditional hierarchicalstructure associated with male-dominated management ranks is inadequateto accommodate properly this trend. Looks at alternative managementstructure theories which support the view of a genderless managementstructure. Recommends that managers should begin to adopt an androgynousstyle which will not only foster a blend of so-called masculine andfeminine behaviours, but also lead to better managers.
