Abstract

Ten common “sand‐traps”, selected by two team‐building consultants from their experiences in team building, are discussed along with the interventions that have worked successfully for them and with their clients, both team leaders and team members, in chipping out of the sometimes unavoidable sand‐trap. The sand‐trap metaphor also points to sharpening skills already apparent in the team, and to increasing alternatives for constructive problem solving. A consultant′s checklist is included for managing a successful team‐building effort.

Abstract

Substantiates the author′s response of “paradoxical” to the titular question through analysing key transcending issues in her consulting practice. Discusses each of the transcending issues cited in terms of expectation vis‐à‐vis experience in reality which led to resolution in development where differentiation and integration were managed. Categorizes the movement as translative (morphostatic) movement within a horizontal level or transformative (morphogenetic) movement between vertical levels, and refers to all movement as a transition. The experiences noted from the basis for gender leadership in the consulting profession in a turbulent developmental time during the beginning of the paradigm era shift.

Abstract

The findings of a study by Auger and Gallaugher (1997), in addition to suppositions and anecdotal evidence provided in a number of articles, suggest that there may be key areas of difference as well as similarities in Internet usage patterns among small and mid‐sized businesses. Since large businesses are both potential customers of and suppliers to small to mid‐sized businesses, it is important to understand their Internet usage patterns as well. The study was designed as a preliminary examination contrasting such usage among large and small and mid‐sized owner‐operated firms. Study findings suggest mid‐sized businesses may be at a competitive disadvantage in their current operational use of the Internet. Small businesses in the study were more likely than mid‐sized or large firms to have a home page and to reveal computer/technology programs as potential Internet services needed to improve current operations. Future research must continue to examine the role the Internet can play in allowing small and mid‐sized businesses to be more competitive in today’s technology based global environment.

Abstract

The librarian and researcher have to be able to uncover specific articles in their areas of interest. This Bibliography is designed to help. Volume IV, like Volume III, contains features to help the reader to retrieve relevant literature from MCB University Press' considerable output. Each entry within has been indexed according to author(s) and the Fifth Edition of the SCIMP/SCAMP Thesaurus. The latter thus provides a full subject index to facilitate rapid retrieval. Each article or book is assigned its own unique number and this is used in both the subject and author index. This Volume indexes 29 journals indicating the depth, coverage and expansion of MCB's portfolio.

Abstract

Postcards have been sold by the billions over the past 100 years or so, but you never would recognize their popularity by checking library holdings. Most libraries ignore them, yet a reporter observed at the 1981 national poster and postcard show: “Postcard collection—a nostalgic pastime that has become a consuming passion for thousands of Americans—is more popular today than when picture postcards first caught on at the turn of the century.” Among the dealers of new cards, Kennard Harris says that “in the past five years there has been an explosion of museum postcard publishing and sales in this country.”

Abstract

Introduction to the Metaindustrial Work Culture, Are human professionals in the forefront of the profound global transition now underway from the industrial to the Information Society? Are they cognisant of the driving forces of new technologies, especially microelectronics and genetic engineering? Are they exercising leadership in the creation of the work environments characterised by information processing and performed by knowledge workers? For these questions to be answered in the positive, the respondent must be aware of the emerging metaindustrial work culture. The term “metaindustrial” comes from an AT and T report on the New Industrial Revolution. It describes the ongoing social or second industrial shift away from the traditional manufacturing industries, organisational models and roles and managerial styles. That industrial way of life not only produced its unique approaches to training, development and education, it was a way of life that enacted social legislation and systems of support. It is rapidly disappearing, and the evidence is present in economic downturns, huge unemployment and bankruptcies. It is evident in the occupational trends toward information/ knowledge/education enterprises — 50 per cent of the US work force is already in the information industries, and this is projected to rise to 66 per cent by the year 2000.

Abstract

This paper reviews how social care contracting in learning disability services has developed in the UK, making use of experience in Berkshire. The monitoring of block contracts for residential care is explored from the perspectives of the keyworker in the home and the purchaser who is monitoring the contract. An action research approach was used to develop monitoring and change subsequent practice in contracting. Particular areas identified as needing improvement were staff induction and training, care planning and review, meeting health needs, and building the setting and measuring of individual service outcomes into all areas of practice, especially provider internal quality‐assurance. The limited role of the service user in the process is highlighted.
