Abstract

More than a decade after the first officially reported case in the United States, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) now poses a major challenge for American organisations. Despite the plethora of coverage by the news media and an emerging literature in academic and practitioner journals, managers and business educators still lack clear and accurate information about the disease, the legal rights of its victims, and how organisations should deal with employees who have AIDS or who are infected with the HIV (AIDS causing) virus, but who remain asymptomatic.

Abstract

Introduction In September 1991, the Centers for Disease Control reported that, since AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was first diagnosed in 1981, 195,718 active cases have been reported in the United States, with 126,159 of these resulting in death. Health agencies estimate that as many as 1.5 million Americans are already infected with the HIV (AIDS‐causing) virus, and that as many as 250,000 to 300,000 active cases will occur in the US. The World Health Organization estimates that about 10 million people worldwide are now infected with the HIV virus.

Abstract

Purpose

Although many in academe have speculated about the effects of pressure to publish on the management discipline – often referred to as “publish or perish” – prevailing knowledge has been based on anecdotal rather than empirical evidence. The aim of the present paper is to shed light on the perceptions of management faculty regarding the pressure to publish imperative.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors surveyed faculty in 104 management departments of AACSB accredited, research‐oriented US business schools to explore the prevalence, sources, and effects of pressure to publish.

Findings

Results indicate that pressure to publish affects both tenured and tenure‐track management faculty, although the latter, as a group, feel significantly more pressure than those who are tenured. The primary source of this pressure is faculty themselves who are motivated by the prospects of enhancing their professional reputation, leaving a permanent mark on their profession, and increasing their salary and job mobility. The effects of pressure to publish include heightened stress levels; the marginalization of teaching; and research that may lack relevance, creativity, and innovation.

Research limitations/implications

The sample was intentionally restricted to faculty from management departments affiliated with research‐oriented US business schools and does not include faculty from departments that are less research‐oriented and, therefore, would be expected to put less pressure on their faculty to publish.

Practical implications

Although the effects of pressure to publish are not necessarily always negative, the paper offers some fundamental suggestions to management (and other) faculty who wish to mitigate the deleterious effects of pressure to publish.

Originality/value

Although the findings may not be surprising to more seasoned faculty, to the authors' knowledge this is the first time they have been documented in the published literature. As such, they advance discussions of “publish or perish” beyond mere conjecture and “shared myths” allowing management faculty to more rationally debate its consequences and their implications for academic life.

Abstract

Since first identified in June 1981, 315,390 cases of AIDS have been reported in the United States and 194,354 Americans have died of the disease, as of 30 June 1993. Worldwide, 718,894 cases of AIDS have been reported and 13 million people are believed to be infected with the HIV (AIDS‐causing) virus. Since autumn 1988, the authors have conducted five independent studies to determine US organizations′ response to AIDS in the workplace. Reviews those and similar studies conducted by others, summarizes their findings, and offers suggestions to practising managers worldwide for dealing with AIDS in the workplace.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the laminar transfer of heat by forced convection where the velocity profile is taken to be parabolic. In the advection dominated case the problem is described mathematically by a singularly perturbed boundary value problem with a non‐slip condition. It has been established both theoretically and computationally that numerical methods composed of upwind finite difference operators on special piecewise uniform meshes have the property that they behave uniformly well, regardless of the magnitude of the ratio of the advection term to the diffusion term. A variety of choices of special piecewise uniform mesh is examined and it is shown computationally that these lead to numerical methods also sharing this property. These results validate a previous theoretical result which is quoted.

Abstract

Aim of the present monograph is the economic analysis of the role of MNEs regarding globalisation and digital economy and in parallel there is a reference and examination of some legal aspects concerning MNEs, cyberspace and e‐commerce as the means of expression of the digital economy. The whole effort of the author is focused on the examination of various aspects of MNEs and their impact upon globalisation and vice versa and how and if we are moving towards a global digital economy.

Abstract

Investigates the differences in protocols between arbitral tribunals and courts, with particular emphasis on US, Greek and English law. Gives examples of each country and its way of using the law in specific circumstances, and shows the variations therein. Sums up that arbitration is much the better way to gok as it avoids delays and expenses, plus the vexation/frustration of normal litigation. Concludes that the US and Greek constitutions and common law tradition in England appear to allow involved parties to choose their own judge, who can thus be an arbitrator. Discusses e‐commerce and speculates on this for the future.
