Innovations In Competitive Manufacturing, Paul Swamidass

Paul Swamidass

Competitive manufacturing in the US was made possible by the progress made in a number of areas. For example, progress in competitive manufacturing is attributable to advances in the strategic use if manufacturing, cellular manufacturing, lean manufacturing, flexible automation, total quality management, supply chain management, design for manufacturing, mass customization, improved costing, and so on.

Pressured by competition, US manufacturers began the journey to competitive manufacturing in the late seventies; their success brought revolutionary changes to US manufacturing.

The book is arranged in 13 different chapters, each covering a major subject within manufacturing management. Each chapter consists of one or …

Theorizing The Connections Among Systems Of Subordination, Nancy Levit

Nancy Levit

Theorizing the Connections Among Systems of Subordination introduces a symposium that addresses issues on the leading edge of identity theory, race theory, and critical social theory. It explains the concepts of anti-essentialism, intersectionality, multiple consciousness, multi-dimensionality, and post-intersectionality. It investigates the ways specific types of oppression - such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia - support and feed off of one another. It explores the dynamics of subordination that make different forms of subordination connected to each other - the mechanisms by which subordinating systems buttress each other. Where one sees sexism, one frequently can find racism; where classism exists, …

Das Innovationsverhalten Der Deutschen Softwareindustrie, Michael Friedewald, Knut Blind, Jakob Edler

Michael Friedewald

In this article we present the results of two empirical studies focusing on the structure and extent of the innovation activities of the German Software Industry and analyze distinctive features of Software Innovations. We distinguish the activities of the primary (core) Software Industry and secondary industries such as Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Motor Industry and Telecommunications. A special focus is put on the question if innovations in Software are sequential, on the role of Open Source Software and the importance of inter- operability.

Applied Monetary Policy And Bank Supervision By The Ecb, Mads Andenas, Lazaros E. Panourgias

Mads Andenas

Monetary policy and banking supervision are closely related and interdependent concepts. Monetary policy and central banking are not defined in such a manner in the Maastricht Treaty that it precludes the European Central Bank from taking on a wider responsibility for financial stability and the handling of banking crises. The article introduced the term 'macro-prudential supervision', explained as 'supervision with a view to safeguarding systemic stability', in a section with the heading 'Default Supervision of Central Banks'.

Misfeasance In Public Office, Governmental Liability And European Influences, Mads Andenas

Mads Andenas

The article deals with the liability of banking regulators in the UK after the BCCI debacle, and provides a wider comparative perspective. It analyses the lack of enforcement culture in the Bank of England, at the systemic failures on the regulatory side that this leads to. The article argues in favour of an extended liability for lack of effective banking supervision, and that banking regulators should be liable where there is a sufficiently breach of the duty to supervise and enforce.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of competitive level on an athletes’ use of imagery in the off-season, and to examine whether their use of imagery was related to their physical and technical preparation.

Beat Patrol Deployment In Hong Kong, Kam C. Wong

Kam C. Wong

On March 14, 2001 a young Hong Kong Police (HKP) Constable (PC) Leung Shing-yan was shot and killed in the line of duty. The incident aroused a fierce public debate as to whether HKP should adopt a one-officer (single beat or SB) vs. two-officers (double beat or DB) patrol deployment policy. This article addresses critical policy issues raised in the SB vs. DB debate. How should such a policy debate be resolved? What are the pros and cons of both patrol deployment measures？More importantly, what immediate and effective remedial steps can be taken to secure the front line police officers’ …

Gender, Ethnicity And Depression: Intersectionality In Mental Health Research With African American Women, Kira Hudson Banks, Laura P. Kohn-Wood

Kira Hudson Banks, Ph.D.

This review synthesizes the current knowledge regarding African American women and depression. After highlighting major findings related to the epidemiology, etiology, symptomatology and treatment, we will discuss the gaps in our understanding of these factors specific to African American women. We will argue that filling in these gaps will require a theoretical framework that takes into account the intersection of race and gender. We will present an empirically defined heuristic for studying mental illness among African American women, in terms of both experiences and outcomes.
