Exploring the contemporary sources, scope and intensity of
nationality conflicts in the context of a disintegrating Soviet
Empire, the authors address themselves to the resurgence of
ethnicity and nationalism within the former Soviet imperium,
Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria and China, and the consquences of
perestroika and glasnost. Kumar Rupesinghe has also written
"Conflict Resolution in Uganda" and "Ethnic Conflicts and Human
Rights". Olga Vorkunova is also the author of "Konflikti v 'Tretem
Mire' i Zapad" (conflict in the "Third World" and the West) and
"Skandinavia i Mezhdunarodnie Konflikti" (Scandinavia and
international conflict).
Major changes which have occurred since this book was first
published have been included in this edition. In particular, the
chapter on Germany has been substantially revised and now includes
a separate section on easter Germany. The other five countries
covered in the book have also witnessed changes in their business
culture and these have been taken into consideration. This book
examines the background to business practice in Europe of six major
countries: Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Spain and the
Netherlands. Each chapter tracks the commercial development of that
country in the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, focusing on the
business environment, special features affecting business, and the
response to the EC's single market. The business culture section in
each is divided further into business and government, business and
the economy, business and the law, business and finance, business
and the labour market, business and trade unions and business
training, education and development. The test is organized in such
a manner to enable cross-referencing between countries, and maps
have been included in the new edition.
This book consists of a single essay that speculates on the
question what is housing?, and its opposite question, what is not
housing? The essay is organised around two distinct discourses
around which housing can be framed. The first, which is the
dominant discourse, is what I term policy thinking. This is where
housing is seen solely in terms of policy formulation and action.
The second discourse is private dwelling, which describes housing
in terms of a private space used by households. Private dwelling
might be seen as a product of policy, but, in actuality, it
precedes policy thinking in being the very purpose of policy.
Having made this distinction between policy thinking and private
dwelling, and so stated in principle what housing is, the
subsequent sections of the essay explore the nature of private
dwelling in more detail and so substantiate the distinction between
the two forms of discourse.
This book is aimed at manufacturing and planning managers who
struggle to bring a greater degree of stability and more effective
use of assets to their operations, not realizing the degree to
which production scheduling affects those objectives. It has been
reported that 75% of the problems on the manufacturing floor are
caused by activities outside the plant floor. Poor production
scheduling strategies and systems are often the biggest
contributors to the 75%. The book explains in detail that no
scheduling strategy, and especially no transition to a different
and better scheduling strategy, will succeed without strong
commitment and guidance from senior leadership. Leadership must
understand their active role in the transition, that people will
feel uncomfortable and even threatened by change, and that they
will need to be measured by different standards. Effective
scheduling requires that following the schedule and production to
plan is more important than trying to maximize each day's
throughput. The book explains the advantages of a structured,
regularly repeating schedule: how it can increase throughput,
right-size inventory based on cycles and variabilities and
therefore make it more usable, and improve customer delivery. It
will explain the trade-offs between throughput, inventory, and
delivery performance, how those trade-offs are actually decided in
production scheduling, and how an appropriate scheduling strategy
can make the trade-offs and their ramifications visible. It
discusses several popular structured scheduling concepts, their
similarities, and differences, to allow the readers to decide which
might fit best in their environments. In addition, the authors
discuss what makes an appropriate scheduling software system, and
why a package designed for structured scheduling offers
capabilities well beyond the Excel workbooks used by many
companies, and how it offers much more design capability and ease
of use than the finite scheduling modules in SAP or Oracle.
Finally, the authors offer a proven roadmap for implementation,
critical success factors necessary to achieve the full potential,
and give examples of operations that have done this well. In
addition, a guide for leaders and managers post-implementation is
provided to help them fully exploit the advantages of a structured,
repeating scheduling strategy.
