    Notes: Uses a questionnaire survey sent to CEOs of US and Japanesesubsidiaries located in North America to assess the amount of influenceexerted on such companies by corporate headquarters and the effect ofthis influence on leadership styles of subsidiary management. USsubsidiaries are found to be insignificantly influenced by their parentcompanies and to practise a professional style of leadership. However,Japanese subsidiaries are found to be significantly influenced byoverseas parent companies and to practise a corporate style ofleadership (when the CEO is Japan-educated) and a professional style ofleadership (when the CEO is US-educated). These findings reinforce theperceived link between leadership style and cultural upbringing andeducation.

The keys toorganizational excellence in the downsized workplace centres on fourvariables - care of customers, constant innovation, committedpeople, and management leadership. A research study conducted by theauthors has focused on leadership strategies followed by managersdirecting successful downsizing efforts in multinational firms. Thesestrategies are: attention through vision, meaning through communication;trust through positioning; and confidence through respect. Each of thesedownsizing leadership strategies is discussed with some depth ofanalysis.

    Notes: Compares the development and characteristics of three groups ofhighly successful British senior executives - self-madeentrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, and a group of intrapreneurs who aremembers of the family owning the company for which they work, but notthe company's founder. One important common factor within the first twogroups (which distinguishes them from the third group) is the overcomingof adversity in childhood. This seems to set a pattern of behaviourthroughout life which contributes to their success by giving them theability to cope with and learn from different situations and setbacksduring their careers. Other factors which discriminate between thegroups are the degree of risk taking, innovation and political style.All three groups have much in common. They are all good communicatorswho work extremely hard and are intrinsically motivated.

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Analyses the influence of export share and domestic contentpolicies on the level of capital investment undertaken by amultinational firm both in its home country and in the foreign countryin which it operates. These protective policies, in force in bothdeveloping and industrialized countries, require the firm to employ acertain proportion of inputs from the foreign country in which itoperates and to export a certain proportion of its output abroad. Casesexamined in the analysis include those for which the firm facesuncertainty in the production process in the host and home countries;and in neither country. Finds that both of these policies can havespillover effects to the home country as well, i.e. when there isuncertainty in production in the home country, these policies can reducethe optimal level of investment in the home country, too.

    A competitive model of the growth of government (1995)
    [S.l.] : Emerald
    Journal of economic studies 22 (1995), S. 4-20 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3585
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Develops a general equilibrium model of the growth of governmentbased on the attempts of various socio-economic groups to redistributeincome in their own favour. In the non-cooperative equilibrium of ourmodel under free political competition, every group in the economy paystaxes at rates which maximize the net contribution of each to theirgovernment's budget. On the basis of this model, argues that the recentgrowth of government can be explained by the increased role of humancapital as a factor of production; the rise in the population share ofthe elderly; and the reductions in the relative value of non-market usesof labour caused by increased specialization and population pressure.Human capital, which has been both an important source of growth inincome and the main factor behind the expansion of the middle class,seems to be a relatively easy-to-tax asset. This finding may resolve thepuzzle of simultaneous growth of government and increase in incomeequality in developed countries that has challenged recent models ofredistributive taxation.

Examines this contradiction, beginningwith a reflection on the essential elements of the debates on Keynes,Say's law and classical economics. Continues by analysing the statementsof German economists before Roscher on the issues of the general glutcontroversy. Ends with a closer inspection of Roscher's own theory ofcrisis.

Examines the factorcontent of net trade with data on foreign trade between the OECDcountries and then determines average capital-labour ratio as the OECDaverage. Both the hypotheses receive empirical support. Finds that thetwo-factor version of the HOV theorem performs well when applied to theenvironment where it is supposed to apply.

    Notes: Many commentators are contending that modern marketing is in thethroes of a "mid-life crisis". Although it is appropriatethat marketing should be facing such a crisis exactly 40 years afterDrucker's (1954) celebrated statement that "marketing is thedistinguishing, the unique function of business", it is arguablethat these declarations of crisis are both premature and undulypessimistic. Adopts a broader, more historically informed approach tomodern marketing, arguing that "crises" in marketing are notnew, they are not insurmountable and that they are not necessarilyunhealthy. Quite the reverse. Offers an analysis of marketing's currentcrisis of representation; outlines ten key points concerning marketing'spast, present and future; and concludes with a simple model ofmarketing's 40 year development cycle.

    Notes: Marketing knowledge and expertise are a critical corporate resourcefor carrying out strategic decision making that supports marketingfunctions. Intelligent marketing information systems (IMkIS) can offer away for marketing managers to share knowledge and expertise. Suchsharing could help improve the economics and effectiveness of themarketing function. Traditional marketing information systems (MkIS) arelimited in their managerial support capabilities. Unlike MkIS, an IMkISincorporates, among other features, the use of a knowledge base ofmarketing strategies. Discusses the shortcomings of an MkIS and thenoffers a framework of IMkIS relationships illustrating informationexchanges among various subgroups of the organization. Furthermore,offers a design of an IMkIS based on this framework. Demonstrates thecreation of a knowledge base by capturing the strategic marketing movesof a corporation for the case of PepsiCo, by using published informationsources. Of course, production versions of such systems will make use ofin-house corporate knowledge. Provides illustrative queries. Discussesimplications for IMkIS for the present and future.

Provides a contribution to the literature since,although a large body of literature exists on the areas of exporting,SMEs, and to a lesser extent business practices of ethnic minority-ownedbusinesses (from different disciplines such as sociology, economics,etc.), there is a need to bring these research topics together in theform of a single study. With this in mind, discusses empirical resultsfrom an exploratory study investigating aspects of the export behaviourof SMEs owned by managers of an Asian origin in the UK clothingindustry. The results provide a foundation on which future academic workcan build, in addition to offering managers and policy makers an insightinto selective aspects of the behaviour of these firms.

Combines the highlights of a literature reviewwith an empirical study of Queensland firms. The empirical study yielded708 usable responses. Results suggest that the stage of development ofMDSS in Australia is clearly behind those in the northern hemisphere.Suggests that there is a need to develop training for people in the areaof marketing information design, and that governments at the federal andstate levels should develop ways of informing Australian business peopleof the value of MDSS along with the potential for developing adistinctive competence compared with firms which do not have an MDSS.Government and trade associations are in a unique position to stimulatethrough information, training and finance these important areas of amarketer's strengths.

    A convergence of Western marketing mix concepts and oriental strategic thinking (1995)

    Notes: The mundane and expanded marketing mix concept has an importantrole in Western marketing literature for both tangible products andintangible services. The nine Ps - namely promotion, product,price, place, process management, personnel, physical facilities, publicrelations and power - are now the foundation for strategicplanning in many companies. While the marketing mix concept remains animportant framework for the Western world, its contribution towards thelatter's declining economic prowess in recent years appears minimal. Onthe other hand, the East Asian economic powerhouse has grown fromstrength to strength. This can be attributed in no small way to certainoriental traditions and philosophies - not the least of which isSun Tzu's The Art of War. Although The Art of War is nowmore than 2,000 years old, it remains the cornerstone for strategicplanning in the East. Attempts to integrate the Western marketing mixconcept with The Art of War from the East using examples drawnfrom the construction industry in Singapore. The lessons to be learnedtherefore should be useful for strategic planners in the Westernmarketing community.

Presents the results of an exploratory studyexamining the relationship between product-line-specific environmentalknowledge and attitudes for multiple green product lines, testinghypotheses generated from the literature, utilizing a questionnairemeasuring self-reports of environmental knowledge and attitudes. Theresults show no direct relationship exists between product-line-specificenvironmental knowledge and attitudes, and that consumers do not simplybelieve that a green product is good for the environment without alsoknowing how the product impacts on the environment.

    Notes: McCarthy's 4Ps mix has increasingly come under attack with theresult that different marketing mixes have been put forward fordifferent marketing contexts. Contends that the numerous and ad hoc conceptualizations undermine the concept of the marketing mix andproposes that Booms and Bitner's (1981) 7Ps mix for services be extendedto other areas of marketing. Shows how the 7Ps framework can be appliedto consumer goods and reports the results of a survey of UK and Europeanmarketing academics which suggest that there is a high degree ofdissatisfaction with 4Ps. Also suggests that the 7Ps framework hasalready achieved a high degree of acceptance as a genericmarketing mix among both groups of respondents. Overall provides fairlystrong support for the view that Booms and Bitner's 7Ps framework shouldreplace McCarthy's 4Ps framework.

    Notes: The current business rate system came into force in 1990,introducing a non-domestic rating multiplier across England and Walesand committing the Government to five-yearly revaluations. Rateablevalues are based on rental levels and, at the 1990 revaluation, officeoccupiers in London and the South East recorded huge increases in theirrate liabilities, while occupiers in the North had their rate billsdecreased quite significantly. In the five years since the lastrevaluation there has been a downturn in both the UK economy and in theproperty market. Calculates an estimate for the multiplier, examines howrental values have changed between the revaluation dates and what impactthis has on the geographical distribution of rate liabilities and theshifting burden between the sectors.

The project wasmanaged and implemented by property, not computer, people and focuses onthe do-it-yourself approach to system development which has been madepossible by the advent of the latest generation of software developmenttools. The system itself is briefly described: a series of relationalfiles with a GIS "front end" interfacing to a rule-baseddata capture system. Recommends the extension of the approach andhighlights both the need for appropriate training and the cultural andorganizational benefits and dangers which flow from such an approach.

    Notes: The total capital value of the tenanted non-residential property ofEnglish and Welsh local authorities is immense, more even than the totalholdings of the top eight, UK-based, property companies. However, whileproperty investment companies own tenanted property for financialreturns, the primary reason for its ownership by local authorities isfar from clear. A survey of councils revealed that while many consideredmuch of their tenanted non-residential property was held for investment,it rarely formed part of wider financial investment aims. Moreover,investment objectives and management strategies were not clearly stated,prioritized, effected, or measurable. These failings were true of bothindividual properties and overall portfolios. Where property does notprimarily meet a function of a statutory local authority, it must atleast be regarded as non-operational. The opportunity for a council tocreate a credible investment property portfolio is markedly restrictedby the absence of the statutory objective of "propertyinvestment". If, after review, property remains unsuited forassisting any real function of local government, it should be classed assurplus. It is proposed that local authority investment property maytherefore justifiably be considered surplus to the functional objectivesand requirements of a statutory local authority. If also unsuitable foroperational use, such property should be programmed for disposal.

Two surveys have been carried out.First, a questionnaire was sent to all 136 licence holders in theproclaimed region, responses being obtained from 56 per cent, whichgives a good indication of how present management plans have influencedland use and land and water management and how farmers intend to reactto the new management plan. Research finds that the new management planwill achieve its objectives. Second, 60 land transactions within theproclaimed region, during the period 1986-1992, have been identified andthe purchasers interviewed. Based on this survey, the value ofirrigation water has been established using financial calculations ongross margin figures for irrigation and non-irrigation farming.

    Notes: Northern Ghana still has vast supplies of undeveloped land, withenormous potential for commercial agriculture, agro-industries, housingestates, shopping centres and hotels. Yet its regional economy remainsweak. Ignoring the historical and colonial origins of themarginalization of the North generally, examines the tenurial issues andland management practices of the region and their implications forinvestment mobilization. The evidence suggests that the chequeredhistory of land tenure not only resulted in social unrest and thedisplacement of helpless villagers, but also induced the destruction ofinvaluable investments, particularly in agriculture. To promoteinvestments in the landed property sector more certain land tenuresystems, secure and speedier land title documentation processes andimproved management practices are required. For sustainable investments,however, tenurial security must of necessity be combined withimprovements in technical and social infrastructure, financial support,widened markets and guaranteed prices, appropriate technology andenvironmental security. Government commitment and investment incentivepackages, along with international financial and technical supportshould also facilitate the development process.

    Notes: Although South African landowners have been subject to variousforms of land tax in the past, the ownership (or occupation) ofagricultural land is not taxed at present. Despite the fact that whiteagricultural landowners are strongly opposed to the possibleintroduction of a rural land tax, political and fiscal pressures inpresent-day South Africa seem to suggest that the imposition of such atax is inevitable. It is suggested that it could be equitable, and wouldbe administratively feasible, to levy, assess and collect a rural landtax at local government level within the commercial farming sub-sector,but that levying such a tax on subsistence farmers occupying communalland poses serious problems.

Aliterature review of similar studies in the field and of sciencetheories and techniques is applied in the study of 38 differentpublications describing features used to manage real estate in a widerange of public and private organizations. The main groups of featuresare structured in a framework which classifies the concepts, methods,tools and techniques quoted in the publications. The methodology used toclassify these models can be applied in other models to increase theknowledge base in which the framework is built.

    Notes: Is China's "land use rights" legislation whichdistinguishes transferable "land use rights" and inalienable"land ownership", a novel concept unknown to human kindbefore, or a pragmatic reversion to the private property rights systemabolished by the communist revolution? Advocates the view that thelatter is a more correct interpretation. As part of a "goingcapitalist" economic reform programme, such a reversion ismanifested in the legal recognition of the leasehold tenure after the"responsibility system" in privatizing agriculturalproduction had proved to be successful. As the development of privateproperty rights is a prelude to market transactions, the Chinese landuse rights reform should be conducive to the success of the economicliberalization policy of China, provided that there is a contemporaneousadvance in the development of the rule of law and technical know-how,such as valuation and land surveying.

    Notes: Use of statistics in property research is increasing, althoughlittle emphasis has traditionally been placed on knowledge ofstatistical techniques by property professionals. Three levels ofcomplexity are identified for the statistics used to identify propertyissues: simple descriptive statistics, comparative statistics usingmethods available as standard, and "leading edge"techniques. Housing is used as an example to discuss the limitations ofstatistics at all three levels in relation to property researchgenerally. Recent research to overcome these limitations has includeduse of behavioural techniques and of artificial intelligence, as well asadvances in statistical methodology. Suggests four possible means ofmaking property research more accessible to practitioners: higher-levelstatistical training; advances to make statistics more comprehensible topractitioners; greater reliance on qualitative research techniques; anduse of IT to disseminate expert knowledge. Practitioners will need touse the results of research to remain competitive, which means eitheracquiring new skills or becoming dependent on receipt of expertknowledge.

    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: The basic aim of any training intervention is to effect some formof change. In assessing change that occurs after a period of training,researchers may tap one or all of three conceptually different kinds ofchange: alpha, beta and gamma. In alpha change, the participant's reportof change is unbiased between time one and time two (the pre - andpost-ratings) because it is based on an instrument that has beencontinuously calibrated. Beta change refers to an apparent change wherethe measuring instrument has been recalibrated by the participant duringthe measurement intervals, that is, individual perceptions of theresponse scale have changed. Gamma change refers to a situation wherethe participant redefines or reconceptualizes some other relevantinformation. Although pre-test, post-test evaluation designs continue tobe used, the problems of beta and gamma change are apparent in themajority of experimental interventions looking at individual changeusing self-report pretest and post-test ratings. Discusses alternativeways of avoiding the problems which might result from beta and/or gammachange.

    Notes: Describes how there are unsolved problems within the philosophy ofthe social sciences, which cannot provide a coherent account of a styleof science which is based on either explanation or understanding. Noeasy combination of elements from the empiricist and hermeneuticapproaches is possible because of radically different epistemologies.Shows how, against this background of philosophical insecurity, actionscience seems to offer new possibilities by incorporating a form ofpractice of research which is aimed at understanding meaning, while atthe same time retaining enough of the characteristics of the ideal ofscientific reliability (hard data, explicit inference, public testing)to free it from the danger of uncritically adopting the internalviewpoint of participants. It is free from commitment to empiricistepistemological principles, so that it can combine elements of theexplanatory and interpretative poles in a coherent way. Argues that itis a valuable contribution which can advance the discussion within thephilosophy of the social sciences.

    Notes: Reflects how relatively little has been written about the"working note" as a tool of consultants involved inorganizational change. Shows how such notes are used to feed backpreliminary findings and working hypotheses as a basis for dialogue withand within the client system. Grounds their use in the action researchand psychodynamic approach of The Tavistock Institute. Compares thepractice with that of the formal report of the "expert"consultant, showing how the working note engages the client moreactively in diagnosis and in design of changes, often surfacingunderlying resistances which can be worked at ahead of implementation,and also promoting a culture of dialogue more widely within the clientsystem.

    Notes: Argues that with increasing global competition it has become ofutmost importance for organizations to address business issuescreatively. Creativity is best defined as the degree to which anemployee demonstrates new ideas or applications for activities andsolutions at work. Risk taking is an integral part of the creativeprocess. There are obstacles to the full development of the creativepotential of both organizations and individuals. These obstacles can beovercome with various exercises suggested by psychologists. Newdevelopments in developing creativity that have become popular in recentyears include: the brain skill management programme; use of Fisherassociation lists; game-playing in small groups; and establishing areward-for-creativity programme in organizations. It is equallyimportant to implement the proposed solution to determine itseffectiveness for solving organizational problems.

    Notes: Examines various problems concerning the practical implementationof the principle of free choice. These are exemplified in a specificeveryday context - the consumer's freedom to choose food and drinkproducts. Identifies a number of actual constraints on that freedombefore the main question is tackled: what further restrictions might beconsidered justifiable and desirable? Suggests three categories offactor which might justify such restrictions - psychologicalfactors associated with the maximizing of freedom of choice; safetyfactors concerned with the minimizing of risk; and ethical/socialfactors involving such issues as animal welfare and socio-economicneeds. Concludes that certain restrictions on the consumer's freedom ofchoice may at times be justified by an appeal to other principles andconsiderations.

Thepicture is characterized by a number of serious nutritional concerns,including health, weight control, food safety and food ethics. There isalso familiarity with official nutritional guidelines, despite awidespread perception of contradictory and confusing nutritionalmessages. Finds mistrust of farmers, food companies and the governmentas far as the provision of safe food for the public is concerned. Suchnegative findings by no means represent the whole picture, however.Shows that, in the midst of such perceived contradiction and mistrust ofexternal agencies, there is a personal confidence in dietary decisionmaking and pleasure in food and eating.

    Notes: There has been an increase in the consumption of pork in recentyears. Reports on a survey of the attitudes of Dublin consumers to pork.Identifies the quality factors which consumers consider when purchasingand eating pork, in particular pork chops. Determines the relativeimportance of these factors and ascertains consumer attitudes to thequality of pork available. Examines the responses of different marketsegments. Finds that most consumers are happy with the quality ofavailable pork, and leanness is by far the most important quality factorfor consumers when buying pork chops. Marbling should not be visible.Identifies tenderness and flavour as the most important attributes ofthe eating quality of pork chops. Juiciness was the third most importanteating quality factor and many consumers perceived pork to be dry.Suggests that the production of leaner meat must observe any effectsthat proposed changes in procedure may have on these eating qualityattributes. Concludes that payment systems should reflect the consumerdemand for leanness, and ways of payment that reflect consumer needs intenderness and flavour also need to be developed. Finds that, inrelation to market segments, males and the ABC1 socio-economic groupwere more likely to be satisfied with the tenderness of pork chops thanfemales or consumers from other socio-economic groups.

    Notes: Reports on a study to establish the range of foods eaten by a groupof 215 elderly people, living in sheltered housing in Scotland, based ona validated 24-hour recall and using a nutrient check-list devised bythe British Dietetic Association's Nutrition Advisory Group on theElderly (NAGE). Though it might be expected that the high levels ofsupport which sheltered housing tenants receive would reduce theprevalence of poor nutrition, indicates that, while nutritional supportwas available to tenants in sheltered housing, the facilities and themethods by which such support was provided varied considerably betweendifferent housing centres. Suggests that the nutritional support offeredmay, however, play a vital role by stimulating interest in food and,indeed, by supplementing the diet.

    Notes: Since the beginning of the 1990s, nutrition education and healthpromotion have increasingly focused on the influence of diet on thequality of life in old age. The Government's Health of the Nation policy in 1991 and the COMA report on The Nutrition of ElderlyPeople in 1992 both emphasized the need for older age groups toadopt the dietary changes recommended for the population as a whole. Inorder to promote healthier eating habits and consequently improve healthstatus, it is first vital to understand what makes elderly people followparticular dietary patterns and, equally, which factors constrain theirchoice. Reviews the current state of research on the social, economic,psychological, physiological, educational and personal factors whichmediate food choice in later life. Indications are that it is thestructural influences on choice which have the greatest impact –education, income, class and access to good health care. As a result,action at national level in the form of health and social policydesigned to take into account the needs of older generations ishighlighted.

    Notes: It is common in discussions about human resource management (HRM)to distinguish between "rhetoric" and what is regarded as aclearly separate "reality". This is naïve in that itfails to recognize the way those researching the human aspects ofmanagement and those practically involved in it influence each other. Italso fails to recognize the power of recent developments in socialscience theorizing which focus on the relationship between discourse andaction. The concepts and language of HRM are perhaps most usefully seenas discursive resources which both managers and academic writers makeuse of - or refuse to make use of - in their occupationalpractices. Illustrates this argument with ethnographic material gatheredin an organization in which many of those activities frequently labelled"HRM" occur but where the notion of HRM is not used. The dogdoes not bark.

    Notes: Describes the writer's experiences as "author" of aprocedures manual for a large contract cleaning company. The seniormanagers were anxious to take control over what they saw as an unwieldyorganization with unclear procedures that badly needed streamlining. Themanual reflected senior managers' need to set up an illusion of controlover the organization; in its production process and in its style, itsuggested both that a coolly analytical, rational and logical approachwas being taken to organizational description and rationalization, andthat it was morally right to follow the procedures described. Yet infulfilling senior managers' requirements, the manual did not reflect themess of organizational procedures, and its smooth,"seamless" descriptions implied that employees had nothingoriginal to add to organizational procedures. Concludes that proceduresmanuals might be seen as inimical to individuality, as a force forcontrol by senior management, and as a means of inhibiting employeecreativity.

    Notes: Originates from a management development programme which was runfor a statutory water authority over a period of two-and-a-half years,which sought to facilitate a change in management style away from adirecting and controlling paradigm towards a supportive and trust-basedparadigm. A significant requirement of the programme, as specified bysenior management, was the empowerment of middle management. However,the implications of this were not fully appreciated by senior managementuntil late in the programme when issues of control came back intoprominence. Eventually, the programme was curtailed and middle managerswere consequently disillusioned rather than empowered. Offers insightsinto the nature of the dynamics of the change process and drawsattention to the phenomenon of senior management resistance to change.Suggests, however, a more pervasive ambivalence in change management ingeneral and "empowerment" in particular. This hassignificant implications for the regulation and limitation of learning.

    Notes: Examines recent developments in organization theory and considerstheir relevance for personnel practitioners. Suggests that an importantcontribution of these developments has been their challenge to theauthority of established analyses in which there has been a tendency tooverlook the constructed and fundamentally political nature of thisknowledge. More specifically, provides a critical appraisal of the workof Stewart Clegg and, in particular, his Modern Organizations.Argues that the commitment in earlier work to extend and enrich theanalysis of organizations has been displaced and diluted in hisexamination of "things postmodern". In ModernOrganizations, the critical thrust of earlier books is blunted by anobjectivism which dilutes or suspends their concerns in favour of anattempt to provide seemingly more refined or accurate maps oforganizational reality. It is difficult to see how this move iscompatible with a commitment to develop theory which by challengingestablished ways of thinking about organizing, may contribute to thefostering of less divisive and destructive organizational practices.

    Notes: Total quality management (TQM) principles are now being applied inservice industries in the UK, following their perceived success inmanufacturing industries, with the particular aim of improving servicequality. In financial services the impetus behind the adoption ofquality programmes is increased competition and higher customerexpectations. Studies of the introduction of quality programmes intoservice organizations in the UK are as yet few, but both these and thelarge number of studies of TQM in manufacturing point to the need forhigh levels of motivation and involvement by staff, and the significanceof job satisfaction and of employment policies. Reports on aninvestigation into the introduction of TQM into two major banks in theUK, with a special focus on the reactions of employees. Highlights theirsuccess and limitations in two case studies, and draws out the lessonsto be learned by senior management and human resources departments.

    Notes: Analyses union membership trends in the UK since 1979. Confirms theconventional wisdom that overall there has been a substantial membershipleakage from UK trade unions for almost a decade and a half. Summarizesand discusses reasons for this. Goes on to show, however, that thisoverall trend masks a surprisingly steady and sustained growth ofemployee membership of "non-affiliated" unions ofprofessional workers and of staff associations, during the 1980s andearly 1990s. Examines this stark contrast between falling membershipamong highly unionate traditional unions and lowly unionate,"non-political" employee organizations. Explores thecharacteristics of the "new moderate unionism" in terms ofits membership, size, sectoral, gender and industrial distributions anddiscusses the future prospects of this remarkably resilient group ofemployee organizations. Classifies them as "publicsectorprofessional associations" and "privatesector staffassociations". Finally, evaluates the nature and ideologies of the"new moderate unionism" in the context of recent managerialemployment strategies.

The survey indicates that the primary purpose ofa pension scheme is the retention of staff but that there are also anumber of significant secondary objectives. Goes on to assess howsuccessful a pension scheme may be in achieving these objectives in thelight of recent legal developments. Concludes that their effect has beento raise the cost of pension provision and to undermine the ability ofemployers to meet their stated objectives through the operation ofoccupational schemes.

    Does total quality management make a difference to employee attitudes (1995)

    Details
    ISSN: 0142-5455

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: TQM is generally seen as depending on employees having a highawareness of quality issues and a willingness to engage in continuousimprovement. Many total quality programmes have, implicitly orexplicitly, attitudinal change as one of their initial objectives.Reports the results of a study which aims to assess the effects of a TQMprogramme in a medium-sized factory in the North of England. TQMinitiatives are invariably multidimensional and there is here a specificconcentration on assessing the relative impact on employees' qualityconsciousness of the programme's various components. The results showthat those individuals whose attitudes changed most were more likely tohave been involved in certain aspects of the programme than were others.In particular they were more likely to have been appraised, made asuggestion under the revamped suggestion scheme, and to have attendedspecific briefing sessions about the aspects of the programme. They werealso more likely to view the regular monthly departmental briefings in apositive light. This suggests that appraisal, suggestion schemes, andteam briefings in particular, can impact on employees' attitudes towardsquality, though in the case of the departmental briefings only if theyare done well and viewed favourably by employees.

    Notes: Using new survey data for Bulgarian executives during 1989-1992,presents some of the first evidence on the nature of managerial labourmarkets for a country in transition. Finds that internal labour marketsfor managers are quite underdeveloped, suggesting insufficientfirm-specific human capital accumulation by managers, weak incentiveeffects of promotion tournaments, and an inability to use promotions asa job assignment mechanism; the use of incentive pay schemes (ascompared to traditional fixed wage payments) is limited and isdeclining; and internal wage structures are relatively flat, leading toweak incentive effects for all contenders in the CEO promotionaltournament and to an inability to ensure that the most able contenderswill win. All these findings point to potentially serious inefficienciesand thus to serious public policy concerns. There exists an urgent needfor a strategy to promote internal labour markets for managers, whichwould include both incentive pay systems for managers and steeperinternal wage structures.

Data for the late 1970sand the late 1980s document this increase, then a decline, pointing tothe dire consequences associated with not investing in technology andnot making proper use of highly skilled human resources. Also shows thatthe national System of Innovation is deficient in Greece, therebycontributing to the underdeveloped conditions of technology.

    Notes: Considers the impact on the HR function of the strenuousrestructuring and redeployment of resources brought about by the currentneed for organizational change. Argues that the transformation of the HRfunction, while interesting in itself as a research concern, is perhapsmore usefully approached from the wider angle of the generaltransformation of the business environment. Organizational restructuringprogrammes invariably impose strategic decisions on and within the HRdomain. The consequent changes, in turn, require a re-evaluation of thecurrent HRM approach, together with modifications to behaviour andaltered activities. Examines the choices facing HR managers through astudy of the strategic decision-making process and the impact on it ofmajor organizational restructuring. This approach exposes the optionsavailable for the re-orientation of HRM after organizational change.Develops a theoretical framework to address impacts on HRM inrestructuring contexts and applies this contextual framework to evaluatean empirical study of an industrial company of US origin, based inBrazil, which has undergone major structural change.

    Notes: Compares the productivity record of 30 manufacturing industries inUK and Germany in 1979 and 1989. Discusses the relative stocks of threeforms of capital: physical capital, human capital and R&Dexpenditure. Standard growth accounting framework is used to estimaterelative multi-factor productivity levels. Concludes that, althoughGermany had a strong labour productivity advantage in 1989, Britain'srelative position had improved considerably since 1979. By 1989 Germansuperiority could largely be explained by greater capital resources.

    Notes: Uses a model of technical change embodied in capital equipment toanalyse average labour productivity growth. Determinants of productivitygrowth identified in this analysis are: (1) the rate of labour-savingtechnical change; (2) the differential in the rates of change of wagesand the rental price of capital; and (3) the rate of growth of industryproductive capacity. Finds evidence that each of the identified factorshas a positive and statistically significant relationship to averagelabour productivity growth in a cross-section of Australianmanufacturing industries.

    Technological change and productivity in the UK food, drink and tobacco industries: a translog cost function approach (1995)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Analyses the production function of the UK manufacturing industriesby estimating a translog cost function for the period 1955-1981. Aims toestimate technical change parametrically. Among the conclusions arisingfrom this estimate are: that indications are that technological changeis input biased in the food, drink and tobacco industries; and thatthese industries seem to have experienced deterioration in scaleeconomies during the 1970s. Also finds that energy and capital inputsare complementary. This supports the argument that reductions in energyprice will be accompanied by higher levels of investment.

    Contracting with a trade union leader interface (1995)

    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Looks at a union model where a trade union leader represents unionmembers in dealing with the firm. The union leader is risk neutral andderives his utility solely from the union fees. The employment level isefficient, and equivalent to the contracts without a union leader, whenthe unemployed receive severance pay and wages and employment isincluded in the contract. In this case the outcome of the contract doesnot depend on whether severance pay is paid by the firm or is as aresult of internal redistribution of income from employed to unemployedmembers. In contrast with the efficient bargaining literature, less thanefficient levels of employment arise if severance pay is excluded. It isin the interest of the union leader that the unemployed receive noseverance pay. This leads to a conflict of interest between the unionleader and the members of the union.

    Notes: The commercial emergence of knowledge-based information technologyrepresents a tremendous opportunity to enhance the practice of humanresource management. Unfortunately, much of the potential ofknowledge-based systems (KBS) to leverage expertise and promoteorganizational learning remains unrealized because of poor managementand piecemeal adoption of the technology. With the impending shortage ofskilled professionals in many economies, it is imperative to considerthis technology in the human resource planning process. Criticallyexamines the applicability of KBS to HRM activities. Defines basicconcepts while benefits, costs and limitations are considered. Profilescurrent applications which help to manage and leverage human resources.

    Notes: For nearly 20 years, equal treatment of men and women in the labourmarket has been enshrined in British law. This was due to the twin actssupporting this: the Equal Pay Act and the Sex Discrimination Act. Therewere amendments in 1983 to allow equal pay to be claimed in comparable,rather than identical, jobs. By the 1990s, therefore, pay discriminationagainst women ought to have become a thing of the past. Investigateswhether this is so, taking evidence on men and women in their early 30sat two points during this period.

    Notes: There has been, and continues to be, a heated debate about thetake-up and significance of human resource management (HRM) across theeconomy. Much of that debate has proceeded at the conceptual andnormative levels with very little recourse to empirical data. Reports onfindings from two extensive pieces of fieldwork conducted over twodifferent time periods (1987-89 and 1992-94), which show considerableexperimentation with many elements of the HRM model. Discusses thefactors inhibiting a fuller embrace of HRM.
