Abstract

The adoption of more participative styles of management is one of our current goals: they are preferable because they enable the subordinate to improve his contribution and thereby gain more satisfaction in his job. By contrast authoritarian styles of management are limiting to the subordinate. To abandon an authoritarian style and substitute for it a more participative style is not easy. It has to be carried out in all activities which involve inter‐personal relationships. In this article Mr B Maude describes what is involved in changing from an authoritarian approach to the participative approach in the business of running a meeting.

Abstract

A German businessman is telling an English sales director about an international conference he attended. He says that if the Englishman had been there he could have made a valuable contribution — he even suggests some subjects he might have covered. The Englishman accepts the compliment then changes the subject and gets down to business. But something has gone wrong. The German behaves strangely — as if he's been affronted — and breaks off the interview soon after. Later it emerges that the communication breakdown was caused by a simple grammatical slip. The German had used the past tense thinking that this was the correct grammatical form for the future. The conference had not yet taken place and the German was extending an invitation not expressing a compliment.

Abstract

Purpose

Despite the prevalence of technology in health care, marketing research on social media in the birthspace is limited. The purpose of this paper is to explore how birthing women leverage social media for transformative well-being in the liminal context of birth.

Design/methodology/approach

A qualitative study of women who had recently experienced birth was undertaken. Thematic analysis of data from in-depth interviews reveals birthing women’s digital practices and social media capabilities for well-being in a liminal space.

Findings

Within the birthspace, women use social media and digital platforms in an effortful and goal-directed way for role transitions and transformation, curating self and other history, goal striving and normalizing experience. These digital practice styles facilitate consumer integration of the liminal digital birthspace and in situ service encounter enabling diverse value outcomes. Drawing on liminality and social presence theories, the authors interpret these practices as demonstrating three interactive liminal stages of suspending, comprehending and transforming. Multi-modality and rapid connection afforded by digital devices and social media platforms provide social presence (according to perceived immediacy and intimacy) enabling transformative well-being outcomes.

Originality/value

This study is unique, as it provides insights into the traditionally private health service experience of birth. Further, the authors extend the understanding of liminal spaces and use of digital technology, specifically for transformative outcomes, by proposing a framework of consumers’ digital practice styles for well-being in liminal spaces.

Abstract

Partnerships and collaborative projects between universities and colleges in higher education have the potential to increase diversity in education and can prepare students for international experiences in the workplace. With this in mind and through the Erasmus plus program, this chapter sets out to discuss the collaborative project between Institute of Technology Carlow, Ireland and Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, Finland, with international business students. The academic objective of the project was for the students to research and compare the marketing of a similar product in both countries. Underpinning this was the objective of providing the students with experience on working online in international teams, and thus preparing them for their career in international business while further engaging them with the module content.

Many challenges were identified during and after the project was complete. There were communication issues and cultural differences identified throughout. From the lecturers viewpoint, there was a need for clear, concise, hands on instruction from start to finish.

These challenges, however, were outweighed by the many benefits to the project. This project offered the students and lecturers with the opportunity to network, learn, gain experience, liaise and collaborate with new cultures. It presented them with a chance to develop their knowledge on international business, culture and communication.

Abstract

The INSTITUTE OF PETROLEUM HELD their Annual Dinner at Grosvenor House on February 22nd, when over 1,300 Members and Guests were present. The Rt. Hon. Aubrey Jones, M.P., Minister of Fuel and Power, in his speech proposing the toast of The Petroleum Industry and The Institute of Petroleum had something to say about coal and warned against taking the reports of statisticians too literally. He said that he was distressed to hear, on assuming ministrial office, that coal had no future and unfortunately this was a popular opinion. The facts are, however, that even with all the aid of nuclear energy for as far ahead as we can see, we shall still need more coal than we are now getting. “But it also seems to me”, he said, “a most disastrous impression to convey. We all want a good performance from coal in the present. I put it to you, how can you expect from any industry a performance in the present unless at the same time you can offer it a future?” The Minister said that we should get away from the idea of a fixed energy requirement, of so much being contributed by coal and, therefore, so much having to be contributed by oil. “The figure of requirement” the Minister said “is not fixed. The figure of our requirement is what our energy supplies make it. Produce more coal, produce more oil, in excess of the target. The demand will be there. The lighter industries will be able to be carried forward”.

Abstract

A similar parallel between function and dietary properties can be drawn in the case of the highly specialized muscle tissue on the one hand and the actively metabolizing glandular tissues on the other. The muscle tissue has dietary properties almost identical with the seed, tuber or root in all respects except its richness in protein. It lacks sufficient calcium, sodium and chlorine, fat‐soluble A, water‐soluble B, and water‐soluble C. The glandular organs such as the liver and kidney are much more nearly complete foods. Indeed, they have all the complexes which are essential for the construction of living tissue, and when supplemented with a carbohydrate, such as starch, approximate much more nearly a complete food than would a similar amount of muscle tissue with starch.

Abstract

The effect of the Merchandise Marks Act, 1953, on habits and customs in the food and drug trades may prove greater than is immediately obvious. The scope of the earlier Merchandise Marks Acts (1887 to 1938) is greatly widened, first by their extension to trade descriptions which are “misleading”, and, secondly, by roping in trade descriptions of quality and descriptions of “fitness for purpose, strength, performance or behaviour ”. The standard of “quality” is to be based on “a classification commonly used or recognised in the trade”. These extensions are to come into effect on January 31st, 1954. Meanwhile, manufacturers of food and drugs may well need to reconsider the wording of their advertisements and labels—for there is no exemption in favour of what has hitherto passed as legitimate, if somewhat exaggerated, puffing. Manufacturers of proprietary medicines, in particular, and of special brands of infants' and invalids' foods may need to exercise more restraint if they are to keep on the right side of the law—though it is, of course, a fact that peaceful persuasion by the Labelling Division of the Ministry of Food during the past ten years has accomplished much by securing the modification of extravagant claims which might be held by a court of law to be misleading.
