Abstract

Many people on this side of the ocean have greeted the hullabaloo over Japan's miraculous achievements in manufacturing over the last decade with a yawn. ‘So what else is new?’ they say. ‘Deming said this years ago.’ W. Edwards Deming is the godfather, if not the real father, of plant productivity. He was mainly responsible for instituting in plants the statistical control procedures that the Japanese have so adroitly adopted. This article describes the Deming approach to productivity and quality: because only management has the authority to change the production system to eliminate them, product defects are a managerial responsibility. To change the system, management first needs to distinguish abnormal from normal variation. It also needs to specify operationally what the system is supposed to produce. With these controls in hand, the organization can predict performance, costs, and quality levels, and managers can communicate effectively with customers and people on the shop floor. And this is most important, for when management sees the system and not the worker as the cause of problems, many of the morale-sapping results of poor decisions, targets no one believes in, and motivating slogans that implicitly blame workers disappear.

35. The Globalization of America's Research Universities: Does the Globalization Mission Pose a Moral Dilemma?

Author

Gitlow, Abraham L. and Gitlow, Howard S.

Subjects
*RESEARCH universities & colleges, *ETHICAL problems, *PSYCHOLOGY of students, *MASTER of business administration degree, *UNIVERSITY & college administration
Abstract

A dilemma resides in the interaction between intellectually free and independent universities and colleges that exist in areas with repressive governments/regimes. Given a repressive indigenous cultural, religious, and political climate, can and/or will those governments keep their hands off the curriculum, the conduct of instruction and research, the contents of libraries, as well as the composition of faculty and student bodies? The academic mission of America's research universities is tripartite in nature, embracing: (1) the transmission of existing knowledge, i.e. teaching; (2) extending the boundaries of knowledge, i.e. research; and (3) the development of a capacity for critical thinking in student minds, and the exercise of that capacity by the faculty.

48. Outcome and Cost for Stroke Patients in Academic and Community Hospitals: Comparison of Two Groups Referred to a Regional Rehabilitation Center

Author

Feigenson, Joel S., Feigenson, Walter D., Gitlow, Howard S., McCarthy, Mary Lou, and Greenberg, Susan D.

Abstract

Patients transferred to a regional stroke rehabilitation center from academic hospital centers (124 patients) and from community hospital centers (315 patients) were compared for outcome and cost of treatment. The two groups were matched for Amended International Classification of Disease diagnostic category, age, sex, distribution of weakness, types of neurological deficits, time from the onset of the stroke symptoms to admission to the rehabilitation unit, and the concurrence of major medical problems thought to contribute to cerebrovascular disease. There was no statistically significant difference in functional outcome or length of stay, but acute health care costs for patients treated in community hospitals were about 50% less.(JAMA 240:1878-1880, 1978)
