Wild, Andrew M. "Capability Brown, the Aristocracy, and the Cultivation of the Eighteenth-Century British Landscaping Industry." Enterprise & Society 14, no. 2 (June 2013): 237–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/es/kht018.
Full textAbstract:
Capability Brown cannot be identified as the originator of modern landscaping, yet he created a business that achieved an unrivaled impact, outshining those before, during, and after his lifetime. Whether Brown was a great artist, opinions may differ. However, there is evidence that Brown was an outstandingly successful businessman. From humble origins, Brown ultimately created a business that seized the lion’s share of the landscaping market of Britain’s elite in the second half of the eighteenth century, counting half of the House of Lords as his clients. A study of Brown’s surviving account book, bank ledgers, and personal correspondence provides new insight into the rapid development, vast scale, and nature of his business. This research shows that commissions were not just gained due to his skills in landscaping, but through his exceptional business acumen, his method of operations, organizational structure, focus, work ethic, and ability to develop contacts and win trust with both the aristocracy and ultimately the King of England. What emerges is a picture of Brown as an entrepreneur of considerable skill, enabling him to uniquely build a national landscaping business.

Full textAbstract:
This article is based on a semiotic analysis of corporate websites in the lap dancing industry. Forming part of a larger ethnographic study of the UK lap dancing industry, it focuses on how the exchange relationship between dancers and customers is shaped by the industry’s online presence. Methodologically, it draws on Hancock’s semiotic approach to the analysis of organizational artefacts and Brewis’s writing on the importance of understanding how sex work is constructed and perceived. The article shows the importance of corporate websites as virtual spaces that landscape customer expectations of the exchange relationship emphasizing how these expectations perpetuate, on the one hand, a very prescriptive range of body images shaping the performance and consumption of lap dancing work, and on the other, an ambiguous suggestion of open-ended possibility. The article argues that, in combination, this landscaping of prescription and possibility constitutes a powerful organization of anticipation underpinning perceptions of reasonable entitlement within the lap dancing exchange relationship considering how this impacts upon the dancers’ experiences of this relationship. The analysis highlights both the importance of virtual corporate spaces in landscaping interactive service exchanges, as well as the intensification that results from the ambiguity encoded within these spaces, requiring service providers to reconcile anticipation and experience, prescription and possibility, within the exchange relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Tourism management involves using a systematic approach to spatial planning that involves multiple variables in land planning. However, it is common to find multiple approaches for the more negative aspects of tourism, such as its impact on natural spaces. On the other hand, the idea of including tourism in land planning finds unanimous support in academia. Although scientific research on tourism and land planning in natural areas is significant, many topics do not receive sufficient attention and the domain has not yet been subject to a systematic analysis, which is the purpose of the present study. To this end, bibliometric data is gathered from the Scopus database and analyzed through a bibliometric approach involving keyword analysis with Pearson correlation coefficient. The results indicate that development, landscaping, and management are the most researched topics, followed by community and system, natural/nature, and the local community. The results of the detailed analysis of the word “tourism” connected with planning in natural spaces reveal that research in the area defends sustainable management, economic growth, energy management and monitoring, and the adoption of a green economy model by the hospitality industry. By featuring the overall structure of research on tourism and land planning in natural spaces published in Scopus, this study provides helpful and timely information to researchers, scholars, destination managers, industry managers, and tourism and hospitality consultants.

Abstract The ornamental horticulture industry, including nursery production, landscaping, grounds management, and garden center and retail sales is experiencing the greatest growth and sales in its history. The demand for nursery stock, goods, and services has exceeded all expectations, and it will continue. One result of this growth has been an increasing demand for trained horticulturists, but there are not enough to satisfy that demand. Student enrollment in ornamental horticulture is declining at a time when demand for BS graduates exceeds the supply. At present, there are five to 10 job openings for every graduate. Why is this happening? There are several reasons, but the one of primary importance is low income potential, especially low starting salaries. It is difficult to attract students to a profession that offers a marginal income.

Full textAbstract:
The chrysanthemum is a perennial herbaceous flower with a long history of cultivation dating back over 3000 years. The potted chrysanthemum is a significant type and is widely used in landscaping. Expensive substrate costs, complicated management of water and fertilizer, and uneven product quality currently plague the potted chrysanthemum industry. This study systematically investigated the growth status of potted chrysanthemums under different substrates, water, and fertilizer ratios and established a simplified cultivation system for potted chrysanthemums. The substitute substrate experiment demonstrated that coir: moss peat: perlite: pine needle mulch = 2:4:2:2 is the most suitable substitute substrate. Research on fertilizer ratios found that chrysanthemums’ best growth and flowering characteristics were achieved with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations of 336 mg/L, 93 mg/L, and 273 mg/L, respectively. A comprehensive, simplified cultivation system was established when utilizing T4 substitute substrate (2:4:2:2 ratios of coir, moss peat, perlite, and pine needle mulch), 40% water capacity, and F9 fertilizer (336 mg/L nitrogen, 93 mg/L phosphorus, and 273 mg/L potassium). This study comprehensively and systematically explored the cultivation and maintenance schemes in the production of potted chrysanthemums and built a light, simple, and efficient production technology system of potted chrysanthemums in the open field suitable for the climatic characteristics of northern China, which provides feasible technical specifications and a theoretical basis for the refinement and large-scale management of potted chrysanthemums. This experiment lays the foundations for cost reduction and efficiency in the potted chrysanthemum industry.

Full textAbstract:
The daily life of Barnaul during the Great Patriotic War is considered based on private origin sources, primarily the memories. In total, the materials of 15 published memoirs were used, among the authors are ordinary citizens, both local residents and evacuees, industry workers and cultural figures, including theater actress Alice Koonen. The author of the article reveals aspects about the Barnaul appearance and landscaping during the Great Patriotic War, the construction of defense plants, the housing problem, the food supply to the population, the cultural space of the city in that period. In particular, evacuation to Barnaul of the famous Moscow Chamber Theater under the direction of A. Tairov, creation of the regional Philharmonic society, tours in the city of outstanding Soviet artists and creative collectives were considered. Contemporaries fixed in their memoirs the transformation processes of a provincial (in the pre-war period) city into a major industrial and cultural center. At the same time, the difficulties caused by wartime conditions are shown.

Full textAbstract:
In the conditions of technological development and informatization of social relations, the formation of effective organizational support for the processes of investing in green technologies is becoming more and more actualized. The object of the research is the management processes of green investment of the countries of the world by various stakeholders in the conditions of increasing movement and development of productive forces towards Industries 4.0 and 5.0. Among the problems that need to be solved, the following should be noted: – low level of management decision-making and implementation of green investment in countries with transition economies and developing countries; – high level of divergence in technological development among the countries of the world in the system of technological structures. Effective organizational and economic support for green investment at the level of the state, investor, manufacturer, and client should be included among the tools for solving these problems. A comparative analysis of green investment of the countries of the world was carried out. The factors of positive and negative impact on the green investment management process in countries with different levels of economy and technological development were formed. Modern trends in the development of green investment were investigated. The effects of the implementation of green technologies by companies of the world were noted. The benchmarking approach has been improved, with regard to the selection of constituent countries-leaders, which can be used in the management of green investments. The criterion indicators of the SWOT analysis of the green investment management system were formed on the example of the innovative project of the university. The necessary conclusions have been drawn based on the research results. The obtained results are explained by the possibility of their application in the system of implementation of projects and programs regarding investment in green technologies (solar stations, wind stations, sewage treatment system, landscaping and greening of territories, geothermal energy). Practical implementation is possible in various countries of the world under the conditions of sustainable technological development from Industry 3.0 to Industry 5.0.

Full textAbstract:
Singapore’s Progressive Wage Model, introduced in 2012 and mandatory in the cleaning industry since 2015, is a skills- and productivity-based approach to redesigning jobs and restructuring wages in the largely outsourced cleaning, security and landscaping sectors. Focusing on cleaning work in the food and beverage industry, this case study examines some early outcomes of this national drive to reduce wage inequality by improving the pay and conditions of commodified work in a sector subject to outsourcing-based cost competition. Based on interviews with cleaners, supervisors and managers, the findings suggest that in general, government and the trade union and employers’ association have worked together, to set wages and conditions transparently. Nevertheless, enforcement issues mean that cleaners remain vulnerable. They have limited information about their employment benefits and face various types of poor conditions, some sanctioned by and others in violation of labour laws. These vulnerabilities have structural roots, including rent imbalances and cheap sourcing, factors that commodify jobs. The implementation of the Progressive Wage Model may have helped de-commodify cleaning jobs for Singaporeans and permanent residents, but such outcomes are still dependent on non-systemic and unenforceable factors such as the kindness of individual supervisors. While a promising start has been made, Singapore’s initial efforts to improve incomes and conditions in low-wage work will nevertheless require stronger regulatory commitment.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A business cannot exist without a customer. The most important aspect of any business is understanding its customers' needs. For a business to succeed in highly competitive markets, it must supply products an~ services which satisfy its customers needs and wants. Supplier firms must continually examine, reinforce and personalise customer relationships. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) focuses on providing solutions which brings together information and people across the client and service provider spectrum using computer technologies, especially the Internet. The growing demand for electronic interactions between customers and suppliers has led to the rapid development of CRM. Although e-Commerce is expected to become the norm in business activities, people-to-people interactions will, however, be most important in providing exceptional customer service and satisfaction. In future, however, business will be defined more by their relationships with their clients than by their products. Good customer relationships and customer satisfaction are directly related to increased profits. Satisfaction is generally conceptualised as an attitude-like judgement following a purchase act. Conformation or disconformation of pre-consumption product standards is the essential determinant of satisfaction. A number of models have been developed to enhance the understanding of satisfaction and to predict if a product or service will meet or exceed customer expectations. As a result of the many different attributes that contribute to customer satisfaction, models to predict customer satisfaction were often too simplistic to provide a comprehensive overview of all determinants that exert an influence

Full textAbstract:
The present day world has been experiencing rapid technological advancement on the one hand and increasing number of diseases afflicting the human beings on the other. To deal with the later, medical devices are innovated and introduced in to the market (making use of the technological advancements), on a continuous basis across the world. However, taking an innovated medical device to the market poses innumerable challenges and therefore, these have to be clinically trialled before its launch to ensure safety and efficacy. Of late, India has emerged as one of the preferred destinations to carry out clinical studies due to numerous advantages, primarily its diverse human gene pool and cost-competitiveness. However, there is very little understanding on the landscape of medical devices clinically trialled in India. It is to throw light on this critical issue with respect to the selection of participants in the clinical trial process, selection of locations and determination of trial duration that the present study has been carried out. In addition, the role of patents associated with the introduction of new medical devices in relation to the key challenges is examined. Furthermore, we studied the characteristics of clinical trials by industry and non-industry sponsors and between cardiovascular and other disease related trials. The present study has been carried out based on secondary data covering 108 medical device clinical trial registrations accessed from Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI) database pertaining to the period 2008-2014. At the outset, the pattern of trials related to the most prominent diseases such as cardiology and cardiovascular diseases and those which are invasive and non-invasive are examined. Our findings indicate that almost 50% of the trials are related to diseases of cardiology, cardiovascular diseases and those which are invasive in nature. For studying the patenting aspect, we proposed a conceptual grouping of sponsors as Incumbent, Potential Entrant and Supporter, based on their patent holdings in the domestic market and in PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) filings. Patents owned by Primary Sponsor (PS) showed significant variations in their clinical trial characteristics particularly the invasiveness of device, disease type, locations and participants. Three quantitative models are developed to identify the factors that influence the selection of number of participants, locations and time taken to execute medical device clinical trials using multivariate statistical techniques. The results of the three conceptual models on number of participants, locations and trial duration showed invasiveness of device and disease type playing significant roles in all the three models. The number of PCTs owned by PS was found to be influential in selecting the number of locations and participants but not the patents owned in IPO (Indian Patent Office). We also observed significant differences between industry and non-industry sponsors in terms of their clinical trial characteristics. The findings of the study formed the basis to understand the medical device clinical trial landscape and other pertinent issues in the Indian context, which enabled us to derive appropriate inferences and policy implications.

Full textAbstract:
Biogas solutions in the Nordics is undergoing rapid developments and the demand for biogas is ever increasing because of the Russian war on Ukraine and the transition to fossil free industry and transportation. Furthermore, with the introduction of several multi-national companies into the biogas sector in the Nordics and with more and more biomethane being traded across national borders, it becomes increasingly important to view biogas solutions in the Nordics as a whole and to go beyond the confines of each individual nation. Since the transition and the current energy crisis require a quick response, understanding what could be done with current technologies and established substrates is important to guide decision-making in the short-term. This study aims to do just that by presenting the current biogas potential for the Nordics, including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The potential was estimated for eight categories: food waste, manure, food industry waste, sludge from wastewater treatment, landscaping waste, straw, agricultural residues, and crops with negligible indirect land use effects (such as ley crops and intermediary crops). Two categories were excluded due to a lack of appropriate estimation procedures and time to develop such procedures, and these were marine substrates and forest industry waste. Furthermore, several categories are somewhat incomplete due to lack of data on the availability of substrates and their biogas characteristics. These include, for example, crops grown on Ecological focus areas, excess ley silage, damaged crops, and certain types of food industries. The specifics of each category is further detailed in Section 2 of the report. In the report, the biogas potential includes the biomethane potential, the nutrient potential, and the carbon dioxide production potential, capturing all outputs of a biogas plant. The results of the potential study show that the current biomethane potential for the Nordics is about 39 TWh (140 PJ) per year when considering the included biomass categories in the short-term perspective. In relation to current production, realizing this potential would mean a roughly fourfold increase in yearly production, meaning that a significant unexploited potential remains. On the nutrient side, the biogas system in the Nordics would, given the realization of the estimated potential, be of roughly the same size as current mineral fertilizer use (about 75 percent for nitrogen and 160 percent for phosphorous). While this represents the management of a significant portion of nutrients used in agriculture, the potential to replace or reduce mineral fertilizer use through biogas expansion remains unexplored in this study since a significant portion of nutrients come from biomass that is already used as fertilizer (e.g., manure). Finally, on the carbon dioxide side, about 4.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide would be produced, which could be either captured and stored or captured and utilized, thereby further increasing the positive environmental effects associated with biogas solutions. In conclusion, there remains a large unexploited biogas potential in the Nordics, even when only considering current technologies and established feedstock that could be realized in the short-term (the theoretical potential is much larger since many substrate categories are excluded and the potential is limited to established technologies). Such a realization would bring large increases to biomethane production but would also mean that a significant amount of nutrients would be recirculated through the biogas system. This means that the biogas system has a key role to play in increasing both the food and energy security in the Nordic countries, in addition to its many positive environmental effects.
