...If the author’s name occurs naturally in the sentence, only the year of publication is given: eg This concept is discussed by Jones (1998) … If there is no author, use a brief title instead: eg (Burden of anonymity, 1948) For websites, if there is no author or title, use the URL: eg (http://www.xxxxxxx.org, 2010) If the date cannot be identified, use the abbreviation n.d.: eg (Labour Party, n.d.) Page numbers should be included when there is a need to be more specific, for example when making a direct quotation. Use the abbreviation p. (for a single page) or pp. (more than one page): eg As Kelvin stated (1968, p.100) ‘the value of…’ If referencing a secondary source (a document which you have not seen but which is quoted in one of your references) the two items should be linked with the term ‘cited in’: eg …economic development (Jones, 2000, cited in Walker, 2004, p.53). NB for above example of secondary sources: You would only be able to include the source you have actually read in your reference list – in the above example you could only give full details of Walker unless you have read Jones yourself. It is good practice to try to read the original source (Jones) so that you can cite and reference it in addition to the source which quoted it (Walker). Handling Quotations in the text Short quotations may be run into the text, using single quotation marks: eg As Owens stated (2008, p...

...Citing your references using the Harvard (Author-Date) system Is this the correct guide for you? Before using this guide, please check whether your Department, School or Faculty specifies the use of a particular referencing system and, if so, if it provides its own guidelines to that system. Note that some Departments,Schools or Faculties may expect both a list of (cited) references and a (general) bibliography, rather than one single reference list/bibliography. Why is it important to cite references? • It is accepted practice in the academic world to acknowledge the words, ideas or work of others and not simply to use them as if they were your own. Failure to do this could be regarded as plagiarism - see http://www.brookes.ac.uk/library/skill/plagiarism.html • to enable other people to identify and trace your sources quickly and easily • to support facts and claims you have made in your text 1. In-text citations The in-text citation is placed at the exact point in your document where you refer to someone else’s work, whether it is a book, journal, online document, website or any other source. It consists of author (or editor/compiler/translator) and publication year, in brackets: eg Agriculture still employs half a million people in rural Britain (Shucksmith, 2000). An author can be an organisation or Government Department (common with websites): eg (English Heritage, 2010) If there are 2 authors, both...

Increasing Profits by Opening the Books Financial transparency and giving workers at all levels a direct stake in a company's success can help boost efficiency and earnings, says Jody Heymann By Jody Heymann Open Source Software Open Innovation Open Government E-Book Readers All 213 employees at Great Little Box know exactly how profitable the business is. Executives at the Canadian packaging manufacturer discuss the company's finances, production, and sales performance in detail at monthly meetings with staff that ranges from machine operators on the factory floor to senior managers. Such open-book management is tied to the company's profit-sharing strategy: 15 percent of pretax earnings are split equally among everyone at Great Little Box. The company started profit sharing in 1991 because they believed employees would work harder if they felt "they matter and their work matters," says Margaret Meggy, who co-founded the company with her husband and now serves as its human resources chief. She's right. Our research shows that sharing financial information and profits with low-skilled workers helps boost both efficiency and profits. Yet while sharing profits and financial data with top managers is common, it is rare at the bottom...

...The Role and Measurement of Quality in Competition Analysis 2013 The OECD Competition Committee discussed the role and measurement of quality in competition analysis in June 2013. This document contains an executive summary of that debate and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by the OECD staff and written submissions: Australia, Canada, Chile, the European Union, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom, Ukraine, United States and BIAC. A note by Theodore Voorhees Jr. as well as a detailed summary of the discussion are also included. Competition policy is just as concerned with quality as it is with prices. While the importance of quality is undisputed and issues about quality are mentioned pervasively in competition agency guidelines and court decisions, there is no widely-agreed framework for analysing it which often renders its treatment superficial. There are a number of reasons why in practice, courts and competition authorities rarely analyse quality effects as rigorously as they analyse price effects. First, quality is a subjective concept and therefore much harder to define and measure than prices. In addition, microeconomic theory offers little help in predicting how changes in the level of competition in a market will affect quality and it is usually up to empirical analysis to determine how quality will change in response to varying degrees of competition in the context of particular markets. Given difficulties in terms of the evaluation...

While I do not want you to memorize the lists contained in Chapter 1, I think that they provide a useful model for thinking about M&A. Bruner opines that M&A outcomes (see #2) are driven by “structure” and “conduct”, but that structure and conduct also interact with each other. a. In the case of “structure”, Bruner is referring to “what exists.” He is thinking of exactly the kinds of issues one contemplates when looking at a “SWOT” analysis. As you will recall, the “SW” side of the analysis deals with issues that are INTERNAL to the company (its resources—both capital and labor, and what it is capable—and incapable—of doing) while the OT side of the analysis deals with...

...the scales in a what is perceived as a fair way. Procedural Justice – is about justice also being seen to be done. Is about people’s perceptions of fairness about the procedure used to determine outcomes. It is a cognitive assessment of a variety of criteria. It can be improved by: * Voice in the making of decisions (to have a say in decisions affecting them) * Consistency in applying the rules (same standards for judging all answer papers) * Accuracy in use of information (e.g. of paying overtime to the driver) * Opportunity to correct errors (even our legal system has something called a review mechanism) * Safeguard against bias – a person cannot be judge in their own case or in a case in which they have an interest (non-comp entry of my student when I am a judge) If not present, people are unlikely to adhere to rules they perceive as arbitrary and unfair – e.g. traffic rules? So much corruption in the system Interpersonal justice – people’s perceptions of fairness are also impacted by how they feel they have been treated – with respect? E.g. of letting someone go. When present. It leads to a positive feeling about one’s leader or organization. Informational justice – people’s perceptions of fairness of information used to decide something – e.g. smoking ban There is some evidence to show that training can help people influence perceptions of justice and this in turn can reduce some of the negative outcomes of...
