Achieving Excellence in Management Identifying and Learning From Bad Practices
No full textMost books on management principles focus on particular rules of thumb and best management practices. While the latter approach provides useful guidance and insights, it does not give executives much of an understanding of what bad management can entail and the damage that it can produce. Indeed, good management makes the most sense when it can be directly contrasted with examples of bad management and its implications. To ? ll this critical gap, this book adopts a fresh approach, identifying cases of bad management from real-life business situations experienced by the author (chapter 3) and contrasting them with good management practice as concisely de? ned in chapter 2. The sound management principles so developed can subsequently be applied to a broad range of settings for personal careers in traditional enterprises or adapted to management of small ? rms (chapter 5) or international companies (chapter 6). Also, they can be used to establish role models and mentor topics for individuals (i.e., ideal managers) and excellent companies (chapter 4). The last chapters show how good management practice can be applied to better handle a wide range of current world problems faced not only by companies (chapter 7) but also by national governments and international institutions (chapters 8 and 9) during these particularly uncertain times. Finally in the appendices, there are two speci? c cases illustrating the usage of rigorous management techniques to analyze events and situations outside the company business arena. This book will be of interest to practicing managers and to students of management. It can be a useful support to mainstream academic books for current students but is of greatest value to postgraduates in their ? rst or second job, for older managers who have not previously been exposed to this kind of material, and for various researchers or counselors who could further develop certain of the novel themes proposed here.

Geophysical survey of the Paringa River valley, South Westland
Get PDFDescription: [iv], 104 leaves : ill., maps ; 30 cm. + 1 CD-ROM (4 3/4 in.) and 1 map (folded). Notes: CD-ROM and map in pockets inside back cover. University of Otago department: Geology. Thesis (B. Sc. (Hons.))--University of Otago, 2005. Includes bibliographic references.The Paringa River valley runs perpendicular to the Alpine Fault, the dominant structural feature of the South Island, New Zealand. Previous geological mapping has contributed much to the understanding of South Westland geology, but a number of questions about the geology, structure and evolution of Paringa River region have been left unanswered. In this study a review of this region's geology was undertaken, together with new gravity and magnetic surveys of the Paringa River valley. Work included modelling the basement profile beneath the river flats, identifying origins and evolution of specific valleys, completing the geological map of the region and analysing Western Province intrusives in the Paringa River valley.
Mapping of Blackwater Creek showed amphibolite facies, quartzofeldspathic protomylonites with a prominent S-C fabric exposed in Blackwater Creek grading eastwards into schist at the eastern margin of exposure. Pseudotachylytes discovered within the protomylonites indicated minor, high stress seismic ruptures at depth within the Alpine Fault zone.
The geochemical analyses of Paringa Western Province intrusives indicated the South Westland region may have paired Paleozoic I- and S-type granitoids which parallel the well-recognised Cretaceous paired plutonic belts. Intruded lamprophyre dykes are thought to be associated with the same subduction episode as the granitoid plutons.
The magnetic survey unfortunately did not contribute to increased understanding of the region. The gravity survey provided valuable data, although the normal uncertainties in interpretation of gravity data were compounded by the two-dimension modelling in an area of rapidly changing basement topography.
Gravity modelling of the Paringa River valley and the NE trending valley indicated significantly deep (400-600 m) U-shaped, glacially excavated valleys. The Alpine Fault was imaged in the gravity profiles beneath the valley fill, concurring with Simpson's (1992) mapping of the Alpine Fault trace.
The Paringa River is postulated to have drained through the NE trending valley northwards before switching to its present southwards course in response to progressive strike-slip offset along the Alpine Fault. This proposal forms the basis of a theory of sequential reoccupation of drainage west of the Alpine Fault

A study of ship wave resistance from an analysis of the wave pattern using close range photogrammetry
No full textBibliography: pages 156-162.In this thesis the wave pattern generated by a moving ship is investigated experimentally using close range photogrammetry. The author has been primarily interested in validating a new approach in the determination of the wave making resistance of a ship by means of the energy contained within the wave pattern. Secondary considerations were the measurement of the total ship resistance and other dynamically related applications; squat and trim, bow and stern wave profiles and their interactive effects. The proposed theoretical approach in this analysis of the wave resistance from the wave pattern is essentially phenomenological. As a ship proceeds through the fluid, it generates a set of waves radiating from the bow and stern due to the pressure differences along the hull. Energy is needed to maintain this system and is supplied at a constant rate by the ship, this being the energy required to overcome wave-making resistance. If the total change in energy within the wave pattern can be evaluated over a time interval associated with a known ship movement, then the energy difference will be a related to the wave making resistance
