Letter from Robert M. MacGregor to Hubert Creekmore (29 September 1953)
No full textMacGregor writes from New York City on New Directions Publishing Corporation letterhead to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding Creekmore\u27s translation of Forty-One Provencal Lyrics. He does not express much hope that it will be published, because New Directions has recently published The Goliard Poems and plans to publish a number of other poetry collections in the future, including Kenneth Rexroth\u27s translation of 100 Japanese Poems, a Kenneth Patchen volume, and a poetry volume by Vernon Watkins. MacGregor states that James Laughlin will make the final decision on the matter. MacGregor explains that he sent Creekmore copies of Corvo, The Dragon and the Unicorn, and New Directions XIV. He plans to send Camino, Lamiel, and Argol. He discusses financial issues at New Directions. Includes envelope.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/creekmore/1170/thumbnail.jp
Letter from Robert M. MacGregor to Hubert Creekmore (12 May 1953)
No full textMacGregor writes from New York City on New Directions Publishing Corporation letterhead to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding a royalties discrepancy. He states that Creekmore is owed more free books and plans to send Kenneth Rexroth\u27s The Dragon and the Unicorn, New Directions XIV. MacGregor states that New Directions will not be republishing Geoffrey Gorer\u27s The Marquis de Sade, because of a pirated edition by Jake Brussel. The company has not been able to get a script of Camino Real from Tennessee Williams. MacGregor states that James Laughlin is in New York doing work for Perspectives, Intercultural Publications, Inc., and New Directions. He mentions Creekmore\u27s novel will be published in July and passes a message along to Eudora Welty. Includes envelope.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/creekmore/1136/thumbnail.jp
Plan for Internal Branding Campaign 'One Team' for MacGregor
No full textIn July 2019, MacGregor (part of Cargotec Corporation) completed its acquisition of TTS, which meant changes for the combined ~3000 employees. The biggest worry that rose from Risk Management assessment, was the risk of MacGregor and TTS staying separate instead of building together the new MacGregor. The risk was especially with the personnel, who could have issues identifying themselves as one team.
The goal of this thesis was to create a campaign that would start the process of unifying the internal brand after the acquisition. This campaign would touch everyone working in the new MacGregor, and would be commenced about six months after the acquisition. In order for this campaign to succeed, broad background research was to be conducted also. The thesis was started before the acquisition completion in March 2019 and the last edits were finished in October 2019.
The relevant subjects around M&A integration, internal marketing and branding, and change was first researched from literature and web articles. The main findings were that in order to establish a coherent external brand, the work must start internally; and that there are a certain pattern of reasons why employees leave, which usually comes down to the employer either not liking their employer or seeing their future in the company.
Based on the collected theory base, interviews were planned and conducted. Four people with experience in either working in a company that was acquired or managing acquisitions were interviewed. Ideas on how bringing people together, having open communication and finding creative ways to discuss about the brand and its personal meaning to the employees were collected.
Based on the research a plan for Internal Branding Campaign ‘One Team’ was created using the SOSTAC® planning system. This plan concluded in three main activities: organising local workshops, training great managers and increasing online discussion. This plan was then passed to the Director of Communications, who would implement it when the time was right.
Overall the thesis dives into how to unify personnel in potentially hostile environment, how to deal with the change the people will have to face and what is the role of internal marketing in all of this. In conclusion, the main thought that drives all the way through the thesis, is that in order to take care of your business, you have to take care of the people running it

Letter from Robert M. MacGregor to Hubert Creekmore (14 May 1954)
No full textMacGregor writes from New York City on New Directions Publishing Corporation letterhead to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi. He states that Kenneth Patchen\u27s The Famous Boating Party has been ordered for Creekmore, and he can include a copy of Dylan Thomas\u27s Under Milk Wood. He asks if Creekmore would be interested in Tennessee Williams\u27s Hard Candy. He mentions Creekmore\u27s essay on Memphis, Tennessee, in Holiday Magazine, and Williams\u27s grandfather Walter Daken. He praises The Chain in the Heart and relays a conversation with Frank Taylor about the Huntington-Hartford Foundation. He states that James Laughlin is in Japan.

The Campbells: lordship, literature and liminality
No full textThe Campbells have the potential to offer much to the theme of literature and borders, given that the kindred’s astonishing political success in the late medieval and early modern period depended heavily upon the ability to negotiate multiple frontiers: between Highlands and Lowlands; between Gaelic Scotland and Ireland, and, especially after the Reformation, with England and the matter of Britain. This paper will explore the literary dimension to Campbell expansionism, from the Book of the Dean of Lismore in the earlier sixteenth century, to poetry addressed to dukes of Argyll in the earlier eighteenth century. Particular attention will be paid to the literary proclivities of the household of the Campbells of Glenorchy on either side of what appears to be a major watershed in 1550; and to the agenda of the Campbell protégé John Carswell, first post-Reformation bishop of the Isles, and author of the first printed book in Gaelic in either Scotland or Ireland, Foirm na n-Urrnuidheadh (‘The Form of Prayers’), published at Edinburgh in 1567

Use of marine controlled-source electromagnetic sounding for sub-basalt exploration
No full textThe problem of imaging sedimentary structure obscured by high-velocity layers, such as carbonate, basalt or salt, using conventional seismic techniques is well known. When this problem is encountered in offshore areas, marine electromagnetic data can provide valuable, alternative and complementary constraints on the structure. We concentrate on the use of marine controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) sounding in the frequency domain. The feasibility of mapping sub-basalt sedimentary structure using this technique is explored by means of modelling studies which mimic a type of survey which could readily be employed in practice. As a starting point the problem is addressed in terms of 1D resistivity structure. We show that sub-basalt sediments can be detected and their depth of burial quantified to within 200 m in the examples shown. The presence of small-scale inhomogeneities in the basalt (which cause much of the scattering in seismic data) is shown to have no appreciable effect on the ability of the CSEM data to detect the sediments. The modelling is then extended to 2.5 dimensions. Again the presence of sub-basalt sediments can be readily detected and their properties and geometry quantified, especially if the electromagnetic data are combined with constraints from complementary geophysical techniques
