Organisational slack, corporate reputation and financial performance
No full textThis discussion paper aims to fill the gap left by the latest research on organisational slack that has been focused on emerging economies or on a single company or on a single industry. Senior executives’ perceptions that contribute to a measure of corporate reputation are tested as a proxy measure of unabsorbed slack. Disaggregating the components that make up reputation enables the perceptions of a company’s ‘ability to innovate’ and how efficiently they ‘use their corporate assets’ to also be tested as measures of unabsorbed, perceptual or discretionary slack. The impact of these variables is considered in terms of company performance

Global Slack and Domestic Inflation Rates: A Structural Investigation for G-7 Countries
No full textRecent papers have argued that one implication of globalization is that domestic inflation rates may have now become more a function of ``global", rather than domestic, economic conditions, as postulated by closed-economy Phillips curves. This paper aims to assess the empirical importance of global output in determining domestic inflation rates by estimating a structural model for a sample of G-7 economies. The model can capture the potential effects of global output fluctuations on both the aggregate supply and the aggregate demand relations in the economy and it is estimated using full-information Bayesian methods. The empirical results reveal a significant effect of global output on aggregate demand in most countries. Through this channel, global economic conditions can indirectly affect inflation. The results, instead, do not seem to provide evidence in favor of altering domestic Phillips curves to include global slack as an additional driving variable for inflation.Globalization; Global Slack; Inflation Dynamics; Phillips Curve; Bayesian Estimation

Japanese Canadian Neighbours and the Celtic Cannery - Interview with Terry Slack:
No full textJapanese immigrants made up an large part of the Southlands community from the late 19th to the mid 20th Century, attracted by the opportunity to work at the Celtic Cannery. Terry Slack, long time Dunbar-Southlands resident, relates a story he heard from members of the McCleery family (original white settlers in the Dunbar Southlands area) that sheds light on why the Celtic Cannery (pronounced with a soft "C") may have changed its name from Keltic Cannery. Note: the story of the Cannery is unverified

On the two essential concepts for SFT: synergetic buoyancy-weight ratio and slack-taut map
No full textIn the submerged floating tunnel (SFT) design and future construction, buoyancy-weight ratio (BWR) and slack-taut performance (STP) are two intrinsic issues with respect to the SFT dynamic response and stability under the structural and external loadings. BWR is defined as the ratio of tunnel buoyancy to the whole tunnel weight. Our experiments and numerical simulations indicate that BWR dominates the dynamic response of SFT and is the most important parameter to be considered in SFT design. For this, we re-state the essential concept of "Synergetic range of BWR". This is regarded as, for an SFT structure with related environmental conditions, a suitable range of BWR value exists, which will lead to less dynamic response and more stable for the SFT. STP is the tether slacking and the related snap force under sea wave conditions. Our simulation results show that SFT tether may go slack and induce snap force at a large wave height at a certain combination of BWR and inclined morning angle (IMA) of the tether. As the second essential concept for SFT, a Slack-Taut Map of SFT is constructed, which describes the occurrences of slack and snap force (under a certain wave condition) as a function of BWR and IMA.

On the slack phenomena and snap force in tethers of submerged floating tunnels under wave conditions
No full textUnder severe sea wave conditions, the mooring tethers of submerged floating tunnel (SFT) might go slack. It may cause the structure failure during the service lifetime of SFT. The paper investigated SFT dynamics when going through tether slacking and the related snap force under wave conditions. Besides the nonlinearity of fluid drag and of structural geometry for a relative large structure displacement, the problem is characterized by the nonlinearity due to the discontinuity in axial stiffness of the tethers. To include these nonlinearities, the method of Lagrange energy is used to build the governing equations of SFT motion, and a bilinear oscillator is introduced to simulate the mooring tether operating in an alternating slack-taut state. The sensitivities of the occurrence of tether slacking to wave height and wave period are investigated. Results show that at a large wave height SFT tether will go slack and snap force occurs. SFT responses are categorized into three types of state according to the dynamic response characteristics of tether tension. Effects of two fundamental structure parameters, buoyancy-weight ratio (BWR) and inclined mooring angle (IMA), on the dynamic responses of SFT are analyzed. A slack-taut map of SFT tethers is built. It intuitively describes the occurrences of slack and snap force with different combinations of the two parameters. An analytical approach for slack prediction by deriving the slack criterion is provided to reveal the mechanism of the presented slack-taut map. By present research, the authors tried to make their effort to provide an alternative philosophy for SFT structural design on concerning preventing the occurrence of tether slacking and snap force.
