    • A fallen idol? : Japanese management in the 1990s 

      Haslam, Colin; Johal, Sukhdev; Williams, Karel; Williams, John (1996-01-01)
      The authors argue that the elevation of Japanese manufacturing management in the West rested on the idea that superior performance resulted from new productive techniques and different systems of management. The object of ...

    • Restructuring for shareholder value and its implications for labour 

      Froud, J.; Haslam, Colin; Johal, S.; Williams, K. (2000-01-01)
      This paper provides an accounting analysis of the implications for labour of restructuring for shareholder value. It presents argument and evidence from the UK which suggests that activity-specific limits on cost recovery ...

    • Sinking ships? Liberal theorists on the American economy 

      Froud, J.; Haslam, Colin; Shaoul, J.; Williams, Karel; Johal, S. (1996-01-01)
      In the Asia-Pacific region, the conditions and consequences of East Asian success have understandably attracted more attention than the causes and implications of North American failure. In the American case, any failure ...

    • Deconstructing car assembler productivity 

      Williams, Karel; Haslam, Colin; Williams, John; Johal, S. (1994-06-01)
      Two generations later in history, social science and management the question is not whether to measure but how to measure and how to evaluate the results of measurement. This paper aims to make a contribution to this debate: ...

    • Johnson 2 : Knowledge goes to Hollywood 

      Williams, Karel; Haslam, Colin; Cutler, Tony; Johal, Sukhdev; Willis, Robert (1994-09-01)
      This paper evaluates Tom Johnson's analysis of the causes of American uncompetitiveness which leads him now to recommend TOM where previously he endorsed the reform of management accounting. It argues that, although the ...

    • Why Are Only High-Redshift Obscured AGN Bright Submillimeter Sources? 

      Carrera, F. J.; Page, M. J.; Stevens, Jason; Mittaz, J. P. D. (Springer Nature, 2005)
      The bulk of the QSO luminosity density was produced at 1<z<3, and with 0.5-2 keV luminosities close to the break of the X-ray luminosity function [6,5]. We have used sensitive submillimetre (submm) observations [8,9,12] ...

    • The new competition and the new economy: Poland in the international division of labour 

      Hardy, Jane (2007)
      This article examines the role of Poland in the international division of labour where the context of transformation is increasingly competitive, based on knowledge and innovation. It is argued on the basis of statistics ...

    • In the front line: women, work and new spaces of labour politics in Poland 

      Hardy, Jane; Kozek, Wieslawa; Stenning, Alison (2008)
      Pessimistic accounts of women's lives in post-communist Poland view women as powerless and passive victims of the transformation process. In contrast, this article argues that while political change and the restructuring ...

      Hoge, J. C.; Stevens, Jason; Moriarty-Schieven, G.; Tilanus, R. P. J. (2003)
      Observations have been made of the infrared afterglow candidate to GRB 030115 (GCN 1818) using the SCUBA bolometer array on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The observations took place on ...

    • A design study of economically viable PEM fuel cell 

      Scott, Paul E.; Calay, Rajnish; Bhinder, Fateh S. (Research Publishing Services, 2010)
      This paper critically examines the conventional design of the low temperature (up to 80°C) Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell and a manufacturing design that does not depend on bi polar plates is presented. The fuel ...

    • Group collaboration effects and the explicitness of children's knowledge 

      Pine, K J; Messer, D J (1998)
      In a recent model of cognitive development, Karmiloff-Smith (1992) alerts us to levels of cognitive development at which children's understanding of a problem can be implicit, or can be particularly resistant to input and ...

    • The effect of explaining another's actions on children's implicit theories of balance 

      Pine, K J; Messer, D J (2000)
      Children and adults often hold naive intuitive theories about how the physical world around them works, and their misconceptions can be difficult to change. Self-explanations have been found to be effective in producing ...
