Abstract

SONIC boom is the name which has been given to the sound heard on the ground immediately following the passage of an aircraft overhead at supersonic speeds. This sound, which has been compared to nearby thunder, results from the passage of the aircraft's shock‐wave field over the observer.

Abstract

Presents the research frame, methods and results of a study of top team competences in small‐ to medium‐sized enterprises sponsored by the Training and Employment Agency in Northern Ireland. Explores a “postulated” framework of competence using a modified version of repertory grid with 31 successful companies who have a working top team. The results confirmed the framework and give core competences at two linked levels: competence domains, areas of activity regarded as an important focus for performance excellence and competences, integrated sets of behaviour which can be directed towards successful goals achievement within competence domains. Validation of the results is given by the outcomes of follow‐up interviews and the comparison with other work. Holds that the results emphasize a radical insight into the notion of managerial competence in the smaller company.

Abstract

Increasing demands in university management in the 1990s in the UK requires a re‐examination of the head of school’s role. The Standards are part of a radical change in the system of vocational education and training in the UK which began in 1982. A questionnaire was distributed to deans and senior officers, heads and staff. Respondents gave their ratings of importance of 62 activities in the effective leading and managing of a school derived from the Standards. In feedback workshops heads and deans commented on changes to the proposed model. The validity of the standards and their future usefulness is evidenced by few changes to the proposed model and willingness by heads and deans to use the model as the platform for future development.

Abstract

Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is a set of techniques designed to make you better at what you do. NLP helps you to understand yourself and others and teaches you how to communicate effectively with others in order to build better relationships with them. Reports on a longitudinal study of the effect of a two to three day NLP course on managers and staff in the hospitality industry. The evaluation is unique as it is the only known longitudinal research into the effects of NLP. Measurements were taken on four psychometric measures at four time periods. The four constructs measured are all positively linked to performance. Three show increases over the start of course measure. Self‐efficacy does not. The verdict on the efficacy of NLP is unclear. Draws some conclusions on the extension of the research.

Abstract

Forms a part of a larger project aimed at developing a framework of managerial competence applicable to top teams in small – to medium‐sized enterprises in Northern Ireland. Reports on an investigation into the development of a process of “translation”, whereby cross‐company competence frameworks could be transformed into company‐specific frame‐works. A systematic, ten‐step translation process emerged, involving drawing out reactions to, and checking understanding of the generalizable frameworks, modifying framework items through additions, deletions, aggregation, disaggregation, and changes to the small print; identifying priorities; drawing out examples from practice; distinguishing actual from ideal; introducing a time dimension; challenging underlying reasoning and implications; and finally, checking the fit of the adapted frameworks. The developed translation process maintained the integrity of the generalizable frameworks while enabling full account to be taken of specific company differences. The process also served as a means of identifying individual team, and organization development issues, and laid the ground for the introduction of competence‐based management development initiatives.

Abstract

For the past twenty‐five years or so, the writings of George Orwell — especially his final novel 1984 — have been a popular topic for student research. From junior high through graduate school, interest in Orwell has been consistent. Book reports, term papers, and even seminars on Orwell are common‐place in the national curriculum. Now, as the year 1984 arrives, librarians at all levels — public, school, academic — must brace themselves for a year‐long onslaught of requests for biographical and critical material on Orwell.

Abstract

IN A PAPER TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, at their Oil and Gas Power Conference, Philadelphia in May, 1958, a paper by J. E. Cox and P. D. Hobson, Engineers of the Shell Oil Company, U.S.A. provided some valuable information regarding the lubrication of large diesel engine cylinders. The authors describe field trials using radioactive tracers to map the route and extent of combustion‐product contamination of crankcase oil and go on to state how this evidence was employed to provide orderly development of a highly basic emulsion lubricant which gave outstanding performance in engines using low quality fuel.
