Abstract

The development and marketing of diary product brands in Europe in the 1990s is described, examining the key success factors which will enable dairy companies to survive, let alone grow profitably through to the millenium. The contribution of strong branding and new product development to commercial success is analysed, featuring some state‐of‐the‐art approaches to segmentation and brand positioning which are likely to become critical to dairy product companies′ success or failure in achieving their full added values in the 1990s.

Abstract

This paper considers the East India Company’s emergence as a territorial power from the 1760s until the revocation of most of its commercial functions in 1834. While this period has been a key episode for historians of the British Empire and of South Asia, social scientists have struggled with the Company’s ambiguous nature. In this paper, I propose that a profitable way to grasp the Company’s transformation is to consider it as a global strategic action field. This perspective clarifies two key processes in the Company’s transition: the enlargement of its territorial possessions; and the increased exposure of its patrimonial network to intervention from British metropolitan politics. To further suggest the utility of this analytic perspective, I synthesize evidence from various sources, including data concerning the East India Court of Directors and the career histories of Company servants in two of its key administrative regions, Bengal and Madras, during this period of transition.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to raise the awareness of business leaders to the opportunity presented by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Design/methodology/approach

The paper provides a brief account of the author’s experience of running workshops which engaged thousands of people from age 7 to well over 70 across three continents. It also points the reader in the direction of several case studies, suggesting that alignment to the global agenda makes business sense.

Findings

The first finding is that most people want the same world to be passed to future generations. Second, this world is consistent with the one described by the SDGs. Third, businesses are discovering that alignment to this vision makes good business sense.

Practical implications

There is significant opportunity for business leaders to consider the world we live in and align their strategies to the global agenda.

Social implications

Failure to deliver the SDGs will cause significant disruption to or even collapse of society as we know it. Getting business involved is good for the future of humanity and the world we inhabit.

Originality/value

There are many papers on the SDGs but, to the best of the author’s knowledge, none make the link between the SDGs and the world most people want for future generations. This factor alone should be enough to inspire business leaders to take note.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the nature of “purpose” emphasizing how it works scientifically and why leaders should invest in bringing it to life as the primary means of inspiring all stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach

The power of purpose makes sense psychologically, organizationally, biologically, energetically and mathematically. By tracking the views of thought leaders in these fields, a compelling case for attention is derived.

Findings

Corporate purpose is not as simple or as static as the author may at first think. Understanding the true nature of purpose empowers leaders to provide a service relevant to all stakeholders.

Originality/value

The paper draws on established thought leadership and assembles this at high level in a way that makes the total case for purpose compelling.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore how local authority child and family practitioners understood and implement the contextual safeguarding approach focusing, in particular, on what practitioners felt supported and hindered implementation.

Design/methodology/approach

This qualitative study drew upon semi-structured interviews and focus groups to explore the perspectives of 18 frontline workers, team managers and senior managers in a London authority. The transcribed accounts were analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings

Participants reported that the strain on services because of sustained budget cuts was overwhelming, even without the additional challenge of implementing this new approach. Further challenges in relation to implementation included parental-capacity focused legislation and conflicting perspectives between stakeholders. This study recommends that proper funding must be committed to safeguarding partnerships if contextual safeguarding is to be successfully implemented. Additionally, child protection practitioners should aim to develop a collaborative and child-welfare focused network of community agencies and organisations if young people are to be safeguarded in their communities.

Research limitations/implications

As the sample required specialist knowledge to participate in this study, this study cannot claim that the findings are generalisable to all social workers.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first external evaluation of the implementation of the contextual safeguarding approach in a local authority independent of the contextual safeguarding team at the University of Bedfordshire since the evaluation of Hackney.

Abstract

A YEAR having now elapsed since I concluded the sale of Clive Bingley Ltd, and the contract of sale having contained, at my insistence, a provision that I would remain with the company for not less than six months (to ensure a satisfactory transfer to the new regime) and not more than twelve months (to prevent the new regime being lumbered with an old fuddy‐duddy), I have now resigned my employment with Clive Bingley Ltd, and with the associated companies set up last year to encompass its projected expansion, namely K G Saur Ltd and KGS Reference Services Ltd. In lieu of my former directorships, I have agreed to act as a consultant to these companies for as long as either of us thinks I can be of service to them, a status which recognises the role 1 have in practical terms been playing during the months since the companies abandoned Pembridge Road for plushier new offices in the West End of London.

Abstract

The Howard Shuttering Contractors case throws considerable light on the importance which the tribunals attach to warnings before dismissing an employee. In this case the tribunal took great pains to interpret the intention of the parties to the different site agreements, and it came to the conclusion that the agreed procedure was not followed. One other matter, which must be particularly noted by employers, is that where a final warning is required, this final warning must be “a warning”, and not the actual dismissal. So that where, for example, three warnings are to be given, the third must be a “warning”. It is after the employee has misconducted himself thereafter that the employer may dismiss.
