Raytheon Canada in Waterloo, Ontario offers a very interesting but challenging research case. As one of the international divisions of Raytheon Corporation, the company has a business model similar to its parent company. The company however is facing new trends in its business environment which have characteristics different than those of its parent company. The main focus of this thesis is to identify the key missing elements in the company's current business model and propose solutions in order to assist the company to adopt the best strategy to successfully operate in this evolving market.The company's interactions with the rest of Raytheon are limited due to the recent tightening of ITAR regulations. Although the company's organization structure is still tightly integrated to the rest of Raytheon, Raytheon US restricts the company's access to the best practice from the rest of the corporation in US. Another interesting observation relates to the company's two major product lines. ATM, Raytheon Canada's legacy product line is being disrupted by the recent arrival of ADS-B technology. This new technology has the potential of providing a major threat to company's sustainability. At the same time Raytheon Canada is introducing HFSWR, which is a disruptive technology, to maritime surveillance market. The company is facing the challenges of commercializing this breakthrough technology to a highly regulated and fragmented market. Raytheon Canada needs to operate in this complex business environment. This makes the company a remarkable research case for analyzing its current business model and ways to improve it through integrating the latest business knowledge from both industry and academia.
(cont) The goal of the thesis is to assist Raytheon Canada to transform its business model by determining the key characteristics of its future business model through detailed assessment of the company's current business model and study of the enterprise future business environment. This is obtained by studying the market research data, the strategic goals of parent company, trends in the technology and product landscape, and the customer behavior. Solutions are proposed for developing a realistic roadmap to transform the current business model of the company to address the future business environment challenges.

Texto completoThe Federal Constitution determines the exemption of export revenues regarding the Social Security Contributions. However, Brazilian Federal Tax Administration advocates that this exemption in what concerns the Employer Social Security Contribution is only applicable to direct exports, without any intermediaries, in accordance to Regulation nº 971/09. This point of view onerates small business more significantly, which, by factual reasons, are the most dependant of trading companies to sell their goods in the international market. Analyzing the constitutional prescriptions concerning this matters, as well as the basis of these tax favors, it is concluded that the restrictions on the use of the exemption offends not only the constitutional prescriptions regarding the tax exemption, which never differentiate direct export from indirect export, but also the constitutional demand of the favored legal treatmant of small firms. By analyzing other taxes it is possible to note an uniform tendency of treating both direct and indirect exports equally, so that the present treatment regarding the Employer Social Security Contribution is inadequate.

Texto completoHow is it possible for organizations to manage the fast paced changes and imperative demands that increased globalization implies? In order to become successful in the global market, it is vital to be aware of cultural influence on business and how to approach diversity. Consequently, management plays a significant role, and the challenge is therefore to cultivate a global way of thinking among managers.
The main purpose of this thesis, which is to create a deeper understanding of a company’s global approach has lead to the following question:
How can managers increase their global mindsets so as to improve a company’s global approach?
As Permobil is an international company eager to expand, we have focused on understanding their global approach using a hermeneutic perspective. In order to do this, ten interviews with managers at Permobil have been conducted. A comparison between managers in Sweden and the United States has been performed, and furthermore we have searched for signs indicative of a global mindset. The method of reasoning has been deductive, which implies that the empirical results have been analyzed together with recognized theories.
This research shows that managers in Sweden and the United States possess a number of valuable qualities that contribute to a global way of thinking, although there are differences between the two countries. A prerequisite is that managers understand the value of a global way of thinking. In order to stay successful internationally, the Permobil Corporation should for instance increase the global communication, strive for a more diverse workforce and attain a better balance between local and global focus. Our conclusion is that the managers more actively have to look for improvements and stay open-minded when facing diversity. This would contribute to the development of their global mindsets, which in turn would meliorate the company’s global outlook.

Texto completoToday outsourcing is a widely-used method for companies to face the problem of a more and
more competitive business world. Especially offshore outsourcing to a distant country, where
the labour costs are comparatively low, is quite popular in the media. Nevertheless, a lot of
companies fail in accomplishing the high gains they hoped for. One reason for this is the
miscalculation of the effects of outsourcing on the company which leads to a wrong
behaviour of the management during the outsourcing process. Hence, a better
understanding of the impact of outsourcing is crucial for the success of a company. To
improve this, one way is to analyse the planning environment and the resulting planning
method of a company before and after outsourcing.

Texto completoSammanfattning Användandet av uthyrd arbetskraft från bemanningsföretag har ökat avsevärt de senaste decennierna. EU:s bemanningsdirektiv 2008/104/EG har tillkommit med anledning av att arbetsvillkoren och den rättsliga regleringen med avseende på bemanningsarbete idag skiljer sig kraftigt bland EU:s medlemsstater. Bemanningsdirektivet har ett tudelat syfte, dels syftar det till att förbättra arbetsvillkoren för bemanningsanställda genom införandet av en likabehandlingsprincip av bemanningsanställda. Därtill syftar direktivet till att skapa större acceptans och undanrö-ja hinder för bemanningsföretagen. Inom EU:s medlemsstater finns en rad olika arbetsmarknadsmodeller representerande. Den svenska och nordiska modellen karaktäriseras av minimalt med statlig reglering, och en hög grad av reglering genom kollektivavtal som förhandlas fram och sluts mellan arbetsmarknadens parter. Den kontinentala modellen som kan sägas var den härskande inom övriga EU och så även för EU:s reglering, bygger på reglering genom lag och en lagfäst möjlighet till att allmängiltigförklara (utsträcka) vissa kollektivavtal. Vilket innebär att arbetsgivare som inte är bundna av kollektivavtal, tvingas tillämpa ett visst avtal. För Sveriges del uppkommer ett potentiellt problem i genomförandet av bemanningsdirektivet, då det följer av äldre rättspraxis från EU-domstolen att vår svenska typ av kollektivavtal inte är ett fullgott sätt att implementera EU-direktiv. Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda om och hur det går att genomföra bemanningsdirektivet inom den svenska modellen, och samtidigt leva upp till de krav som följer av EU-rätten. Enligt min bedömning kommer det krävas att en bakomliggande lagstiftning införs, som garanterar direktivets skydd för samtliga arbetstagare. Den nödvändiga lagstiftningen kan dock utformas på ett sätt som inte undergräver den svenska modellen.

The subjects of collective competence and information technology are related within the organizational context, as a way of competitive advantage to the companies. Given the necessity of knowing and analyzing the collective competence of working teams, in order to give subsidies for the organizations to maintain their most talented workers, hire employees with adequate profiles and reach the organizational strategies, this study has been made with the main objectives of investigating what kind of collective competences in the information technology teams of big companies and also how the articulation of individual competences happens, integrating and interacting to the benefit of the whole. The theoretical reference is composed with the concepts of individual competences, organizational competences, collective competences and information technology. The collective competences are understood in a macro form, as the ability of a group to act collectively to reach a common goal. This study is outlined by its applied nature, exploratory-described and quantitative and qualitative approach. In order to collect the needed data, an instrument of research has been developed, which has been applied to 132 employees of the information technology department of Grendene S.A.. When it comes to analyzing the results, techniques of statistic analysis such as descriptive analysis, factorial analysis, correlation analysis and Regression and variables analysis have been used. The discussion of the results has identified that the explanatory variables of the collective competences in the information technology in the analyzed company are: proactivity, communication, cooperation and interpersonal relationship. It has also showed that proactivity is the variable that owns the most intensity of association. Other bounded elements of all the factors have been identified and the significant differences related to collective competences and the profile of the analyzed people. Through this study, one would conclude that individual competence and collective competence are a two way street. They work dependently of each other and are the base for the organizations to identify their competences so they can pursue actions to make them stronger. This study has also helped expanding the knowledge of the kind of profile the professionals of information technology have.

Due to the increasingly competitive among small medical companies and the expectations of customers in this market, this study aims to discuss ways of marketing being a value generator for small companies providing medical services. Thus, we developed a case study of the Pediatric Clinic and Vaccinations Dr. Paul Rose Ltda. At this company was made the application of the philosophy of strategic management and guided by the fundamentals of marketing which resulted in significant expansion of the offer value to the public and consequently a higher potential for profitability and market share of the Taubaté City the São Paulo State, which has 603 health facilities, and of these, 384 are isolated clinics and 124 are clinics and specialization centers. For this qualitative research, with a unique case of study, the triangulation of data was made through in-depth interviews with workforce (managers and employees),with external public (costumers) and documentary survey (database of the company and external). The theoretical foundation in marketing as value generator was essentially guided by concepts which call for building business value through the provision of differentials that are grounded in the needs of the market and consider the corporate capacity. Were adopted, too, concepts and authors who value building lasting relationships between companies and their customers. The main results are related to the possibilities of differentiation of small business in the medical field through the application of marketing. The main findings of this study indicate that the consequences of the application of marketing are financial, market positioning, brand building, development of personal skills and, especially, the value perception of the final customer
Em função do cenário cada vez mais competitivo entre as pequenas empresas da área médica e das expectativas dos clientes desse mercado, este estudo tem como objetivo discutir os meios do marketing ser gerador de valor para pequenas empresas prestadoras de serviços médicos. Desta maneira, desenvolveu-se um estudo de caso único, da Clínica Pediátrica e de Vacinações Dr. Paulo Rosa Ltda. Nessa empresa foi realizada a aplicação da filosofia da gestão estratégica e orientada pelos fundamentos do marketing o que resultou em significativa ampliação da oferta de valor ao público e, como consequência, a elevação do potencial de rentabilidade e da participação no mercado do Município de Taubaté, interior do Estado de São Paulo, que conta com 603 estabelecimentos de saúde, destes, 384 são consultórios isolados e 124 são clínicas/centros de especialidade. Para esta pesquisa qualitativa, com um estudo de caso único, a triangulação dos dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com o público interno (gestores e colaboradores), com o público externo (clientes) e levantamento documental (bancos de dados da empresa e externos). O embasamento teórico sobre o marketing como gerador de valor foi pautado essencialmente por conceitos que preconizam a construção de valor para o negócio por meio da oferta de diferenciais que estejam focados nas necessidades do mercado, que gerem a percepção de qualidade em seu público e que considerem a capacidade corporativa. Foram adotados, também, conceitos e autores que valorizam a construção de relacionamentos duradouros entre empresas e seus clientes. Os principais resultados são referentes às possibilidades de diferenciação da pequena empresa da área médica por meio da geração de valor resultante da aplicação do marketing. As principais conclusões desse estudo apontam que as consequências da aplicação do marketing são de ordem financeira, de posicionamento de mercado, de desenvolvimento das competências pessoais e corporativas e, principalmente, da percepção de valor do cliente final

Texto completoSammanfattning
För att vända den globala uppvärmningen grundlades i Kyotoprotokollet tre marknadsmekanismer som syftar till att på olika sätt åstadkomma minskade utsläpp av vissa växthusga-ser. Den enda av dessa mekanismer som i nuläget är aktiv, är handeln med utsläppsrätter som hänför sig till utsläppen av koldioxid.
Eftersom EU är part i Kyotoavtalet antog Europaparlamentet och Europeiska Unionens råd ett direktiv (2003/87/EG)(handelsdirektivet) för att uppnå de åtaganden som antagits i protokollet. Handelsdirektivet implementerades i svensk rätt genom lag (2004:1199) om handel med utsläppsrätter. Innehavet av en utsläppsrätt medför en rätt att släppa ut ett ton koldioxid. Enligt handelsdirektivet skall 95 % av utsläppsrätterna delas ut gratis till utvalda företag med höga nivåer av utsläpp. Dessa utsläppsrätter lämnas i form av näringsbidrag. Resterande andel av utsläppsrätterna är direkt tillgänglig för handel på den öppna marknaden. Genom att vidta utsläppsminskande åtgärder kan företag minska sitt behov av utsläppsrät-ter och därigenom få möjlighet att sälja dem. På motsvarande sätt kan ett företag, istället för att vidta utsläppsminskande åtgärder, välja att köpa in extra utsläppsrätter. På så sätt uppnås Kyotoprotokollets mål på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt. Antalet tillgängliga utsläppsrät-ter kommer framöver att minskas med varje ny handelsperiod för att på så vis motivera fö-retagen till att reducera sina utsläpp.
Handelssystemet syftar till att på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt minska de totala utsläppen av koldioxid. Vidare är handelssystemet uppdelat i olika handelsperioder där den första testpe-rioden löper mellan åren 2005 och 2007. Efterföljande handelsperioder kommer att löpa med fem års intervaller. Nästa handelsperiod kommer således att starta år 2008 och avslu-tas år 2012, denna period kommer att infalla samtidigt som Kyotoprotokollets första åta-gandeperiod. Varken handelsdirektivet eller svensk lag innehåller någon vägledning i hur utsläppsrätterna, som ny rättsfigur, skall passa in i övrig existerande lagstiftning. Det finns således möjligheter till att ett stort antal nationella och internationella oklarheter uppstår inom alla juridiska aspekter av handeln med utsläppsrätter.
Enligt vår analys resulterar användningen av OECD:s modellavtal, applicerat på utsläpps-rätter, i att beskattningsrätten allokeras på samma sätt, oavsett vilken artikel som anses omfatta transaktionen. Konsekvenserna av handel med utsläppsrätter kommer således slutligen att bestämmas av nationell lagstiftning. Tack vare de gemenskapsrättsliga förordningarna och direktiven som antagits inom de redovisnings- och mervärdesskatterättsliga områdena är behandlingen av utsläppsrätterna delvis harmoniserad mellan EU:s medlemsstater. Inom Sverige har många av de problem och frågeställningar som väckts gällande utsläppsrätter kunnat lösas på nationell nivå.
Handeln med utsläppsrätter har dessutom till syfte att inkludera även stater som inte är medlemmar i EU vilket innebär att den harmonisering som skett idag är långt ifrån tillräcklig. Dessutom kommer under den kommande handelsperioden även de två övriga meka-nismerna Clean Development Mechanism och Joint Implementation att aktiveras, vilket innebär att ett stort antal nya frågeställningar kan väntas uppstå på både nationell och in-ternationell nivå. Det finns således även under kommande år ett stort behov att utreda de juridiska konsekvenserna av Kyotoprotokollet.
I denna magisteruppsats ställs därför ett antal frågor angående hur artiklarna i OECD:s modellavtal skall appliceras på den internationella handeln med utsläppsrätter och vilka mervärdesskatterättsliga regler som skall anses omfatta sådan handel. Slutligen analyseras även hur innehav av utsläppsrätter skall behandlas i de berörda företagens redovisning.
Abstract
To reverse the increasing global warming the Kyoto Protocol established three market mechanisms intended to reduce the emissions of green house gases. The only currently active mechanism within the Protocol is the Emission Trading System.
Since the EU is a member of the Kyoto Protocol, in order to achieve the goals agreed in the Protocol, the European Council approved a Directive (2003/87/EG) setting the framework for an EU-wide system of green house gas emission allowance trading. The Directive was implemented into Swedish legislation through lag (2004:1199) om handel med utsläppsrätter. One emission allowance grants the possessor a right to emit one tonne of car-bon dioxide into the atmosphere. The purpose of the system is to reduce the emissions of green house gas in a cost effective manner and thereby decrease global warming. The European Emission Trading System is divided into different commitment periods where the initial period runs from 2005 to 2007. This commitment period is also regarded as a learning-by-doing period for Member States. Subsequent periods will be of five years be-ginning in 2008, concurrently with the first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol.
As many as 95 % of the emission rights will be distributed as government grants to certain companies with high emission levels. Remaining emission rights will be immediately avail-able for trading on the open market. Through emission reducing procedures, companies can reduce their need of emission rights, enabling them the opportunity to trade with the remaining units. This aims to create an incentive for companies to reduce their need of emission rights, thus decreasing the number of tradable units.
However, neither Swedish law nor the Directive contains any guidance regarding how the existing legal regulations should be applied to Emission Trading Units. This lack of guidance may result in a number of national and international uncertainties regarding the legal aspects of emissions trading.
In our application of the model tax convention to international transactions with emission rights, we will show that it is irrelevant which article is chosen to include emission units. Therefore the final consequences of such transactions will be determined within the national law of the taxing state.
Since community law legislation has been enacted by the EU legislative council, the ac-counting and value added tax rules that apply to emission rights trading have been partially harmonized.
Due to the partial harmonization, many of the current issues regarding emission rights have been clarified on a national level in Sweden. Nevertheless, since the trading system is in-tended to extend also to non EU-members, the present level of harmonization still remains insufficient. In addition, the future activation of the remaining mechanisms, Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation, can also be expected to give rise to a number of new uncertainties. Hence, the legal consequences of Emission Rights Trading re-main in need of further investigation.
In this master’s thesis we will address several questions regarding how the articles in the OECD Model Tax Convention should be applied to the international trade with Emission Rights. We will also analyze the value added tax rules that are applicable to such trade and how possession of Emission Trading Units will affect business accounting procedures.

Texto completoDue to the necessity of insertion of sustainable development politics within the context of organizations, companies invest in resources expecting that the adoption of these actions may bring strategic and economical benefits, reflected in the image of the organization as well as in its valorization in the market. In this setting, Sustainability Indexes were created in a global scale, and these indexes, in general, evaluate several dimensions of the organization relations with society, environment and with the suppliers of capital to companies. In Brazil, specifically in 2005, the created the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) to gather the shares of companies that incorporate in their business objectives, social responsibility as well as company sustainability. Due to what was mentioned above, this paper has the objective of verifying what is the impact in the actions of the sample from 43 companies before the entrance and the exit of CSI funds. The methodology of event study aimed identifies the abnormal returns after the divulgence of the CSI funds, from the editions 2005 to 2009, according to the search, the risk-adjusted return and the market-adjusted return were used. The financial data, before and after the event, were extracted from the data base of São Paulo Stock Market. The results demonstrated the positive relation among the participation of some companies in the portfolios of the ISE and the financial performance of their share value. Moreover, the results showed that the necessary investments in sustainable development did not result in loss, once it could be noticed the predominance of positive abnormal returns in all situations analyzed in this paper.
Diante da necessidade de inserção de políticas de desenvolvimento sustentável dentro do contexto das organizações, as empresas investem em recursos esperando que a adoção dessas práticas possa trazer benefícios econômicos e estratégicos, refletidos na imagem da organização e na sua valorização no mercado. Neste cenário, Índices de Sustentabilidade foram criados em escala global, e estes índices em geral, avaliam várias dimensões das relações da organização com a sociedade, meio ambiente e com os provedores de capital para a empresa. No Brasil, especificamente no ano de 2005, foi criado o Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) para reunir as ações de empresas que incorporam em suas diretrizes de negócio práticas de responsabilidade social e sustentabilidade empresarial. Com isso, a presente dissertação tem por objetivo verificar qual o impacto no valor das ações de uma amostra de 43 empresas perante a entrada ou saída das mesmas das carteiras do ISE. A metodologia de estudo de evento buscou identificar os retornos anormais após as divulgações das carteiras do ISE, de 2005 a 2009, através do modelo de retorno ajustado ao risco e ao mercado. Os dados financeiros, antes e depois do evento, foram extraídos da base de dados da Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo. Os resultados alcançados indicaram relação positiva entre a participação de algumas empresas nas carteiras do ISE e o desempenho financeiro das suas ações, além de mostrar que os investimentos necessários em desenvolvimento sustentável não acarretam perdas, visto a predominância de retornos anormais positivos em todas as situações analisadas neste estudo.

Title: Combating climate change – a case study of Statoil’s climate strategy
Problem: The world is facing an environmental situation where we no longer can ignore problems like climate change, losses of species and an overall environmental degradation. Many actors have to take their responsibility and do as much as they can for a sustainable development. One crucial actor is the business world. Often, they both have the knowledge and financial power to make a difference. Higher environmental regulations and pressure from stakeholders, such as the Swedish government or the EU, forces companies to consider the environment while doing business. This requires a strategy.
Purpose: The purpose with the essay is to identify and study Statoil’s climate strategy. We also want to identify the most important internal and external factors that are affecting the strategy.
Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative method made up by two parts, interviews and literature studies. We made one informant interview and two respondent interviews with two environmental executives from Statoil AB.
Results: Statoil has a mainly pro-active strategy and are very ambiguous in the climate question, although their strategy is highly affected by the surrounding. Developing new technologies, cooperation and profiling are the main parts of their strategy. They are affected by the dominating discourse ecological modernization, as well as by the organizational field. They are in turn affecting the field by their offensive strategy. The customers and the legal framework are the most important external factors of impact. Whereas the corporate group StatoilHydro and financial resources are the most important internal factors.
Keywords: Climate strategy, environmental strategy, responsible company, greening, ecological modernization

Texto completoNASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is continually looking for methods to reduce cost and schedule while keeping the quality of work high. MSFC is NASA’s lead center for space transportation and microgravity research. When supporting NASA’s programs several decisions concerning the avionics system must be made. Usually many trade studies must be conducted to determine the best ways to meet the customer’s requirements. When deciding the flight data system, one of the first trade studies normally conducted is the determination of the data bus architecture. The schedule, cost, reliability, and environments are some of the factors that are reviewed in the determination of the data bus architecture. Based on the studies, the data bus architecture could result in a proprietary data bus or a commercial data bus. The cost factor usually removes the proprietary data bus from consideration. The commercial data bus architecture’s range from Versa Module Euro card (VME) to Compact PCI to STD 32 to PC 104. If cost, schedule and size are prime factors, VME is usually not considered. If the prime factors are cost, schedule, and size then Compact PCI, STD 32 and PC 104 are the choices for the data bus architecture. MSFC’s center director has funded a study from his discretionary fund to determine an optimal low cost commercial data bus architecture. The goal of the study is to functionally and environmentally test Compact PCI, STD 32 and PC 104 data bus architectures. This paper will summarize the results of the data bus architecture study.

Texto completoThis research deals with the influence of verticalization on urban thermal sensation, within a context of city compaction guidelines, applied to the city of Maringá / PR, whose climate is humid subtropical. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the increase in the model of the buildings in the mentioned region, in order to respect the parceling and the use and occupation of the soil, interferes with the urban thermal comfort by checking the equivalent Physiological Temperature Index (PET). Its development will be carried out based on the analysis of results obtained through computational tools, especially the ENVI-met software, following the following steps: 1. Urban History, in which the initial plan of the city and its current profile will be evaluated; 2. Climatic Characterization, in which the climatic archive of the municipality, its chart of winds, as well as all the necessary treatments for the application of the software will be elaborated; 3. Modeling and Simulation, in which the scenarios will be defined and constructed, for later simulation; 4. Environmental Assessment, in which the thermal sensation of the results of the simulation will be analyzed. Finally, by means of the evaluation of the obtained results, it will be shown that the verticalization, in humid subtropical climates, can be used as attenuation of the thermal sensation.

This paper investigates the Taiwan stock index difference of corporate governance between Taiwan 50 Index , Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 index and Matching companies using Pearson correlation analysis, ANOVA and Logistic regression analysis. The samples period from 2003 to 2009. The empirical results in logistic regression find that Taiwan 50 Index and Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 Index groups show that Taiwan 50 Index’s director and supervisor of pledge ratio and director compensation was significantly highter than Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 Index. However, Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 Index’s manager shareholding ratio, shares in multiples of earings deviate and CEO as general manager significantly higher than Taiwan 50 Index. Taiwan 50 Index and matching company groups show that matching company’s the number of directors and CEO as general manager significantly highter than Taiwan 50 Index. Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 index and matching company groups show that matching company’s manager ownership, percentage of independent directors and CEO as general manager significantly higher than the matching company.

Texto completoThis study provides a framework for customer-supplier relationships and service quality measurement in a precast concrete manufacturing firm with the use of the universally accepted SERVQUAL model. Within an increasingly competitive precast concrete market, customer satisfaction is a critical goal for manufacturers of all types. Customer-supplier relationships and service quality were therefore investigated in this study. A quantitative research approach was used in the study to analyse the data. This approach enabled the researcher to obtain an accurate measure of all constructs that relate to service quality improvement for the particular concrete manufacturing firm amongst contractors, civil consultants, government institutions and end users. A sample size of 246 respondents from Gauteng Province was used. Descriptive statistics were used to explain the characteristics of sample data. In addition, factor analysis was used to condense the variables into five factors in order to capture the essence of service quality within a cementitious products organisation. Five dimensions, responsiveness, problem- solving, physical aspects, service personnel and physical appearance were extracted to measure service quality. Results showed that satisfied customers tend to re-patronise suppliers who enhance their service outputs provided to the customers. Thus it is imperative to enhance customer satisfaction and ultimately customer loyalty. These results suggest that improved service qualities can be useful for building customer loyalty and long- lasting relationships. The reliability analysis produced a Cronbach alpha which ranged from 0.700 to 0.815 which were deemed acceptable. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that service quality is associated with customers' future buying behaviour in terms of their decisions to purchase and recommend the supplier to others. Customers felt that service personnel were friendly, courteous and possessed the knowledge to answer customer questions. They exhibited a favourable image of the company and its services. This service dimension was ranked first in terms of importance by the customers therefore, the precast concrete manufacturer ought not be complacent but rather seek innovative ways in maintaining the service personnel dimension of service quality. The overall mean score of expectation of service quality by customers was 4.71. This indicates that the service provided by this company is satisfactory. It therefore suggests that, it is necessary for managerial intervention to prioritise in all these areas to develop a strategy of service quality improvement. Training of personnel is an essential component of service quality enhancement especially with complaints and the complaints-handling procedures. The management team of the organisation needs to play an active role in ensuring that all personnel are adequately trained and highly motivated to understand the user‟s specific problems and in the process to provide competent solutions to problems. Based on literature and results emanating from the empirical survey, these findings may assist the organisation in the enhancement of its service-quality levels. Hence, service-quality levels should be monitored carefully on a continuous basis.

Texto completoIn 1970, Serge Novikov made a statement which is now called, "The Novikov Conjecture" and is considered to be one of the major open problems in topology. This statement was motivated by the endeavor to understand manifolds of arbitrary dimensions by relating the surgery map with the homology of the fundamental group of the manifold, which becomes diffi cult for manifolds of dimension greater than two. The Novikov Conjecture is interesting because it comes up in problems in many different branches of mathematics like algebra, analysis, K-theory, differential geometry, operator algebras and representation theory. Yu later proved the Novikov Conjecture holds for all closed manifolds with discrete fundamental groups that are coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space. The class of groups that are uniformly embeddable into Hilbert Spaces includes groups of Property A which were introduced by Yu. In fact, Property A is generally a property of metric spaces and is stable under quasi-isometry. In this thesis, a new version of Yu's Property A in the case of locally compact groups is introduced. This new notion of Property A coincides with Yu's Property A in the case of discrete groups, but is different in the case of general locally compact groups. In particular, Gromov's locally compact hyperbolic groups is of Property A.

The Taiwan Stock Exchange announced Taiwan High Compensation (HC) 100 Index in August 2014. The objective of Taiwan HC 100 Index is to encourage employers to improve compensation of employees, thereby retaining and attracting outstanding employees. Thus, such Index will contribute to an equilibrium that all involved parties, employees, employers, and investors, will be better off. Based on analysis of the constituent stocks of Taiwan HC 100 Index, this paper attempts to examine correlation between the structure of personnel expenses and performance of enterprises. Let the stocks of HC100, EC100, and OC100, each of which representing a distinct structure of personnel expenses in enterprises. The results show that structure of HC100 cannot affect performances, structure of EC100 increases Return on asset (ROA), adjusted ROA, Return on equity (ROE) and adjusted ROE significantly and structure of OC100 is harmful to ROA, adjusted ROA, ROE and adjusted ROE. So we conclude that the structure of personnel expenses prefers to give relatively high salaries to executives can attract more talented person and stimulate working efficiency by the tournament theory. Therefore, high salaries to executives increase the performances of enterprise further.

Business rescue provisions are meant to assist a financially distressed company. It seems that the success of business rescue rests on three factors, namely a competent business rescue practitioner and a practicable business rescue plan; the consent and cooperation of shareholders and creditors. However, academics and case law point out concerns as to the regulation of the aforementioned essential ingredients. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the level of the efficacy of the Companies Act provisions on business rescue as contained in Chapter 6. The researcher compares the current business rescue regime and the previous judicial management procedure to find out how the current regime can be improved. Since the business rescue regime was adopted from other jurisdictions the researcher also compares the practices in some of those jurisdictions with that of South Africa to establish the goals and expectations of business rescue in modern corporate operations.

Texto completoIn 1854 the United States Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska bill which left the question of slavery in the territory up to a vote of popular sovereignty. Upon the passage of the bill, New England’s most elite class of citizens, led by Eli Thayer, mobilized their networks of philanthropy in New England to ensure the Kansas-Nebraska territory did not embrace slavery. The effort by the New England elite to make the territories free was intertwined in a larger web of philanthropic motivations aimed to steer the future of America on a path that would replicate New England society throughout the country. The process and goal of their philanthropy in the Kansas-Nebraska Territory was not dissimilar from their philanthropy in New England. Moral classification of those in material poverty mixed with a dose of paternalism and free labor capitalism was the antidote to the disease of moral degradation and poverty. When Missourians resisted the encroachment of New Englanders on the frontier, the New England elites shifted their philanthropy from moral reform to the funding and facilitation of violence under the guise of philanthropy and disaster relief. For six years, until the outbreak of the American Civil War, New England philanthropists facilitated and helped fund the conflict known as Bleeding Kansas.

Texto completoThe word “Perception” seems to be intuitive and maybe the most straightforward problem for the human brain because as a child we have been trained to classify images, detect objects, but for computers, it can be a daunting task. Giving intuition and reasoning to a computer which has mere capabilities to accept commands and process those commands is a big challenge. However, recent leaps in hardware development, sophisticated software frameworks, and mathematical techniques have made it a little less daunting if not easy. There are various applications built around to the concept of “Perception”. These applications require substantial computational resources, expensive hardware, and some sophisticated software frameworks. Building an application for perception for the embedded system is an entirely different ballgame. Embedded system is a culmination of hardware, software and peripherals developed for specific tasks with imposed constraints on memory and power. Therefore, the applications developed should keep in mind the memory and power constraints imposed due to the nature of these systems. Before 2012, the problems related to “Perception” such as classification, object detection were solved using algorithms with manually engineered features. However, in recent years, instead of manually engineering the features, these features are learned through learning algorithms. The game-changing architecture of Convolution Neural Networks proposed in 2012 by Alex K [1], provided a tremendous momentum in the direction of pushing Neural networks for perception. This thesis is an attempt to develop a convolution neural network architecture for embedded systems, i.e. an architecture that has a small model size and competitive accuracy. Recreate state-of-the-art architectures using fire module’s concept to reduce the model size of the architecture. The proposed compact models are feasible for deployment on embedded devices such as the Bluebox 2.0. Furthermore, attempts are made to integrate the compact Convolution Neural Network with object detection pipelines.

Texto completoThis dissertation argues that the Edison Institute (presently known as The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan) survived internal and external challenges through the evolution of the Ford family’s leadership and the organization’s funding strategy. Following Henry Ford’s death, the museum complex relied upon the Ford Foundation and the Ford Motor Company Fund as its sole means of philanthropic support. These foundations granted the Edison Institute a significant endowment, which it used to sustain its facilities in conjunction with its inaugural fundraising program. Navigating a changing legal, corporate, and philanthropic landscape in Detroit and around the world, the Ford family perpetuated Henry Ford’s legacy at the Edison Institute with the valuable guidance of executives and staff of their corporation, foundation, and philanthropies. Together they transitioned the Edison Institute into a sustainable and public nonprofit organization by overcoming threats related to the deaths of two generations of the Ford family, changes in the Edison Institute’s administration and organizational structure, the reorganization of the Ford Foundation, the effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1969, and legal complications due to overlap between the Fords’ corporate and philanthropic interests. The Ford family provided integral leadership for the development and evolution of the Edison Institute’s funding strategy and its relationship to their other corporate and philanthropic enterprises. The Institute’s management and funding can be best understood within the context of philanthropic developments of the Ford family during this period, including the formation of the Ford Foundation’s funding and concurrent activity. This dissertation focuses on the research question of how the Edison Institute survived the Ford family’s evolving philanthropic strategy to seek a sustainable funding and management structure. The work examines its central research question over multiple chapters organized around the Ford family’s changing leadership at the Edison Institute, the increase of professionalized managers, and the Ford’s use of their corporation and philanthropies to provide integral support to the Edison Institute. In order to sustain the Edison Institute throughout the twentieth century, it adapted its operations to accommodate Henry Ford’s founding legacy, its legal environment, and the evolving practice of philanthropy in the United States.

Abstract In Taiwan, long-line fishing has been the major technique in fishery. With the enhancement of fishing techniques, the fishing zone of Taiwan has spread all over three of World Oceans, and Taiwan has been regarded as one of five largest pelagic fishing countries. Pelagic long-line fishery plays a crucial role in economic development in Taiwan. In recent years, the fishery environments, whether in domestic or foreign fishing zone, have been dramatically changing. Since the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has been resulted, all of coastal nations have subsequently set up the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or marine economic development zone, which is stretched out 200 nautical miles from a nation’s coast. However, the establishment of marine economic development zone also brings about the high seas’ largely shrinking. Since the past, the increasing extinction of fish species is mainly resulted from illegal fishing techniques, fishing in the fishing-prohibited zone or during the prohibited period, catching fingerlings and using illegitimate fishing gear. Under such a decreasing fishing circumstance, those Taiwanese long-line fishing vessels under 100 tonnes, mostly fishing in the South Pacific Ocean, are struggling with many changes, such as international fishing limitation, the fishing vessels decreasing policy, the diminishing amount of fish caused by climate changes, the raising oil price and cost. Respecting the situation that most of long-line fishing vessels are managed by ship owners instead of fishery companies, and the fishing-related records are too scarce to provide for reference, this research will explore how the 100-tonne-under long-line fishing vessels owners can manage their business in South Pacific Ocean. All information in this study is acquired from Fisheries Agency in Taiwan and interviews with long-line fishing vessels owners. The questions asked in those interviews mainly target fishing benefit, cost, method of supplies, and the policy on captain and crew management. Based on the analysis of those cases mentioned above, we can figure out the practical operation and management of the 100-tonne-under long-line fishing vessels owners in Taiwan. Furthermore, this study also points out current difficulties in fishery management, providing for those vessels owners as the crucial reference of increasing competitive advantages.

Texto completoThis history investigates the beginnings of community foundations in general and the creation of the Indianapolis Foundation specifically and its eventual funding of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. My findings reveal that, contrary to previous histories that have been written, the creation of community foundations was not driven by benevolence but by changes in federal and state banking laws starting in 1913 that allowed banks to have trust departments that broke the monopoly that trust companies had long enjoyed. In response, trust company executives chartered community trusts to publicly position themselves as benevolent, community-minded businessmen. This distinguished them as trustworthy compared to the greedy bankers of the day, which helped trust companies gain trust customers. Community trusts were responsible for identifying and disbursing funds to deserving beneficiaries, thereby relieving trust companies of a costly and time consuming burden. Even more important, the trust companies retained control over the community trusts by appointing surrogate board members. In addition, none of the trust companies that chartered the Indianapolis Foundation donated their own money, yet appeared charitable. All of these factors made community foundations a very lucrative arrangement. Funding the areas of arts and culture was not designated in the Indianapolis Foundation’s original purpose statement, yet the Indiana State Symphony Society was funded at the height of the Great Depression while many Indianapolis citizens went hungry. The love of music played a very small part in efforts by the wealthy elite to garner support from the Indianapolis Foundation for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The public justifications for funding the symphony began with giving psychological relief to the citizens of Indianapolis from the pressures of the Great Depression, to the need of employment for musicians, then the importance of musical education of children, expanding to the importance of the symphony to the city’s reputation, and finally, in the 1980s, the symphony as a community asset that helped rejuvenate downtown Indianapolis. However, the real reason for funding was that the wealthy elite wanted the symphony to use as a flattering cultural institution that would elevate their social status and attract fellow elites and businesses to Indianapolis.

Texto completoIn the 1830s, Indiana undertook an ambitious internal improvements program, building the state’s first railroad and multiple canals. To complete the projects, Indiana used Irish immigrant laborers. The Irish laborers developed a reputation for brawling amongst themselves, highlighted by a riot involving 600 laborers working on the Wabash and Erie Canal in 1835. Multiple volumes of Indiana history identify the Wabash and Erie riot as a one-time event inspired by Protestant and Catholic animosity imported from Ireland. A review of the historical record, however, contradicts these long-held assumptions. Inspired by Irish traditions of faction fighting and peasant secret societies, Irish immigrant laborers formed secret societies that used violence against competitors in hopes of securing access to internal improvement jobs for their own membership. The rival secret societies, the Corkonians and the Fardowns, organized based on their provincial origins in Ireland. Examples of Corkonian and Fardown violence occurred throughout the country. In Indiana, a pattern of Corkonian and Fardown conflict resulted in skirmishes on at least three different construction sites between 1835 and 1837. In contrast to the traditional narrative, the Corkonians and Fardowns were both pioneers of the first wave of large-scale Irish Catholic immigration whose rivalry centered on job protection and economic grievances.
