For just over 100 years, student unions have served college campuses across the United States. These buildings have changed and progressed over time to offer services to fit the needs of students. Recently, the concept of community building has become increasingly more important to higher educational institutions. Student unions are at the very center of community building on college campuses. This report looks at one model of community building and offers design elements union administrators need to be aware of when designing student union spaces.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The assignment examines the policy positions of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) on restructuring and privatisation. The assignment's theoretical point of departure is found in the work of Levitsky and Way (1998). Levitsky and Way (1998) examines the alliance between a political party and its labour ally in the context of neo-liberal economic reform. The context is usually a political party that has come to power with the aid of a powerful trade union federation. The authors are interested in establishing if the party-union alliance would be sustained if the political party embarks on drastic economic reforms that have the potential to undermine trade union federations. The two cases that are investigated are Poland and Argentina, because in both these cases, a political party has been swept into power with the aid of a powerful trade union federation. Against the background of neo-liberal economic reforms, both trade union federations initially supported the economic reforms. In the medium and long term however, labour defected from the alliance in Poland, whereas the alliance was sustained in Argentina despite the enormous costs to workers. Levitsky and Way (1998) then posit a number of material and institutional factors that explain both the initial convergence and the later divergence between the two test cases. The factors that are included in this framework are social linkages, party strength, leadership overlap, union competition and the degree of autonomy from either party leadership or the rank-and-file. These factors are hypothesised to explain the policy positions and behaviour of the trade union federation. It is this theoretical framework, which will be tested to establish if the framework permits enough conceptual leverage to explain the past and present policy positions of COSATU on privatisation. These factors have been given prominence because of its actual bearing on the status of the alliance relationship. The present study will therefore be using these factors of the framework, and barring one exception, it will be conceptualised in the same way. The second component of the study is to use the South African National Opinion Leader Survey of 1997/98 to study the actual attitudes and opinions of COSATU leaders on a range of privatisation issues. The survey is going to be used to determine if there is any degree of continuity between formal congress resolutions and the attitudes of COSATU leaders in the survey. This is also an indirect way of verifying the ideological loyalty of leaders to the official positions of the trade union federation. The second question returns to the alliance relationship by examining differences, if any between COSATU and ANC leaders on privatisation related issues. Factor analysis is used to build two indexes, namely a "privatisation index" and a "gear index." An interesting finding from the data is the relatively greater policy cohesion amongst COSATU leaders. These results permit speculations that do not necessarily indicate an imminent breaking up of the alliance, but rather continued discussions with possibly various policy compromises by COSATU and the ANC.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die werkstuk ondersoek die beleidsposisie van die Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) oor herstrukturering en privatisering in Suid Afrika. Die werkstuk se teoretiese uitgangspunt word in die werk van Levitsky en Way gevind (1998). Hierdie skrywers ondersoek die alliansie tussen 'n politieke party en sy arbeidsvennoot in die konteks van neo-liberale ekonomiese hervorming. Die konteks is 'n politieke party wat aan bewind gekom het met die steun van 'n kragtige vakbondfederasie. Die skrywers wil vas stel of die party-vakbond-alliansie sal voortgaan wanneer die politieke party drastiese ekonomiese hervorming aanpak wat die potensiaal het om vakbond federasies te ondermyn. Twee gevalle, naamlik Pole en Argentinië word ondersoek. In albei gevalle het die regerende politieke party aan bewind gekom met die hulp van die vakbond federasie. Teen hierdie agtergrond van neo-liberale hervorming het albei vakbond federasies in Pole en Argentinië aanvanklik die proses gesteun. Gedurende hierdie tydperk het vakbonde in Pole weggebreek van die alliansie, terwyl die alliansie in Argentinië ten spyte van die groot koste vir die werkers voortgesit was. Levitsky en Way (1998) verskaf 'n aantal materiële en institusionele faktore wat die aanvanklike samevloeiing en die latere uiteenvloeiing in hul twee voorbeelde kan verduidelik. Die faktore wat in die ontleding gebruik word is sosiale verbindinge, partysterkte, leierskap oorvleueling, vakbond kompetisie en outonomie van of party leierskap en gewone werkers. Volgens die skrywers se hipotese sal hierdie faktore die beleidsposisies van die vakbond federasie verklaar. Dit is hierdie teoretiese raamwerk wat in die studie gebruik word. Daar word gepoog om vas te stel of hierdie raamwerk genoegsame konseptuele reikwydte het om COSATU se privatiserings beleid te verduidelik. Die tweede komponent van die studie is die gebruik van die Suid Afrikaanse Nasionale Menings Opname van 1997/98. Dit word gebruik om die houdings en die opinies van COSATU leiers oor n breë spektrum van privatiserings kwessies te ondersoek. Die doel is om vas te stel of daar enige graad van kontinuïteit tussen formele kongres resolusies en houdings van COSATU leiers bestaan. Dit is ook 'n manier om die "ideologiese getrouheid" van COSATU leiers te verifieer. Tweedens word daar teruggekeer na die alliansie verhouding deur die verskille tussen ANC en COSATU leiers betreffende privatiserings verwante kwessies te ondersoek. Faktor ontleding word gebruik om twee indekse te bou, naamlik 'n "Privatiserings indeks" en 'n "Gear-indeks". Interessante bevindinge wat dui op 'n groter beleidskohesie by Cosatu-meningsvormers as by ANC-meningsvormers kom na vore. Na aanleiding van bogenoemde model word daar gespekuleer dat hierdie meningspatrone nie noodwendig op 'n uiteenval van die alliansie dui nie, maar eerder op voortgesette gesprekke met verskeie beleidskompromisse by Cosatu sowel as die ANC-leierskap.

Full textLa metodologia de la investigació es divideix en dos parts diferenciades:
1. Una part teòrica per estudiar en profunditat la figura de l'UTE.
2. Una part empírica que recull els resultats d'un qüestionari presentat a totes les empreses de la població objecte d'estudi i un anàlisi dels seus estats financers en els exercicis 2001-2003.
Finalment es presenten les conclusions a què s'arriba amb aquesta investigació.
El contingut està estructurat en cinc parts diferenciades:
1. La primera part, conceptual, defineix la figura de l'UTE, el seu origen històric, característiques i objectius. Es tracta de conèixer l'estructura i funcionament d'aquests negocis en participació.
2. La segona part, posiciona la figura de l'UTE dintre del marc jurídic, diferenciant la normativa mercantil i fiscal que afecta a aquesta figura associativa.
3. La tercera part, analitza la problemàtica comptable de les UTE amb especial referència a l'adaptació sectorial de les empreses constructores (PSEC), també en aquesta part es presenten les normes internacionals d'informació financera relacionades amb les UTE i es compara la normativa comptable espanyola, francesa i internacional referida als contractes de construcció.
4. La quarta part, inclou l'estudi empíric mitjançant els resultats obtinguts d'un qüestionari presentat a la població objecte d'estudi i l'anàlisi dels estats financers de la població esmentada. La població objecte d'estudi consta de 30 empreses constructores membres del SEOPAN (Asociación española de empresas constructoras de ámbito nacional) i engloba totes les empreses constructores que cotitzen a les diferents borses espanyoles, és destacable que són empreses que tenen per activitat principal la constructora, tot i que estan diversificant negocis actuant en sectors com l'immobiliari i els serveis. D'altra banda en aquest entorn empresarial es fan diverses fusions, la internacionalització dels mercats és cada vegada més present i aquestes empreses participen en moltes UTE. També és destacable que aquesta població executa la majoria d'obra civil i tota l'exportació espanyola.
5. En la quinta part i última part, es detallen les conclusions.
De la revisió realitzada de les UTE es poden deduir les conclusions següents pel que fa a la imatge fidel de la informació comptable d'aquestes associacions temporals en el sector de la construcció:
· La informació comptable de les UTE que es presenta en els estats financers de les empreses constructores partícips no segueix amb exactitud la normativa comptable del PSEC, concretament la informació de les UTE en la memòria és insuficient i dispersa, amb la conseqüència d'una difícil interpretació econòmica d'aquests negocis conjunts.
· Així doncs, la informació comptable de les UTE hauria de millorar i l'UTE hauria de presentar uns estats financers propis segons la legislació mercantil amb un reglament propi com el que pautava l'article 16.2 de la Llei 18/1982 mai publicat. A tal efecte, la futura reforma comptable espanyola pot ser una bona oportunitat per a introduir una major transparència informativa.
· L'UTE és molt utilitzada en el mon empresarial però és en el sector de la construcció on ha proliferat notablement en els últims anys, de manera que aquest sector punter de l'economia per l'efecte multiplicador sobre les restants activitats econòmiques i per la capacitat generadora d'ocupació ha de ser comptablement fidedigne.
· L'UTE és molt utilitzada per realitzar obra pública, però cal millorar la responsabilitat de l'UTE donant personalitat jurídica pròpia a aquesta associació temporal, doncs desenvoluparia la seva activitat com una unitat econòmica més, amb totes les facultats i responsabilitats pròpies, sotmeses als principis de control jurídic i comptables del resta d'ens jurídics.
· La responsabilitat de l'UTE ha de cobrir suficientment els riscs relacionats amb el tràfic empresarial, mitjançant els avals individualitzats per cada UTE, les corresponents provisions i els informes de responsabilitat social que posteriorment assumeixen les empreses partícips.
· Les empreses partícips en UTE en un 80% utilitzen el mètode del percentatge de realització per valorar l'obra en curs si els ingressos i les despeses es poden estimar raonablement i no hi ha riscs extraordinaris, si no és així el PSEC assenyala utilitzar el mètode del contracte acomplert i aquest no és admès per la NIC 11, però és seguit per un 20% de la població objecte d'estudi. D'altra banda l'estimació d'ingressos més utilitzada és la relació valorada, però la normativa internacional en limita l'ús i a més en la memòria no es detalla com s'apliquen aquests criteris.
· Hi ha una falta de control analític en les UTE, ja que les empreses membre poden utilitzar comptabilitats de gestió diferents i el control analític de l'obra realitzada en comú, junt amb la falta de transparència informativa financera pot provocar una liquidació poc fidedigne. Així doncs, el control de l'UTE ha de millorar des del punt de vista analític, de responsabilitats i financer, per reflectir amb exactitud les operacions realitzades en comú.
· La UTE és una figura diferent de l'AIE i els contractes de comptes en participació, en canvi les UTE s'assimilen als joint ventures que regula l'IASB en la NIC 31: "Informació financera d'empreses controlades conjuntament".
· Les empreses partícips en UTE haurien de tenir present la futura reforma comptable derivada de l'harmonització comptable a les NIIF i el seguiment del PSEC per part de les empreses partícips hauria de ser més estricte per poder portar a terme la citada reforma comptable.
· De l'anàlisi comparat de la normativa espanyola, francesa i internacional respecte els contractes de construcció es dedueix, que amb el procés de globalització calen informacions comptables harmonitzades i en sintonia amb les normes de l'IASB, per tant queda un important treball en l'àmbit estatal per aconseguir la necessària convergència normativa.
· Les UTE han de procurar l'execució d'un projecte i l'aplicació de noves tecnologies en el seu desenvolupament, amb la corresponent informació en els estats financers, per aconseguir qualitat i una bona posició en el mercat competitiu conjugant variables econòmiques i socials.
· Actualment la informació comptable derivada de les UTE no reflecteix la imatge fidel del patrimoni, de la situació financera i dels resultats d'aquestes associacions temporals.
