Abstract

This thesis examines the transfer, reception and implementation of community policing in Abu Dhabi between 2000 and 2016. It was undertaken during a period of extensive organisational reform, which was informed by a process of policy transfer, primarily from the United Kingdom. These reforms were driven by regional insecurity and increasing awareness that more needed to be done to improve police and community relations to prepare for anticipated future risks and threats to the security of the state. The reform programme included the introduction of a community policing model. This was encouraged by an elite network of international actors and Abu Dhabi Police officers, who embarked on extensive policy transfer processes to select good practice to be adopted and implemented locally. This study aims to understand more fully why the community policing policy transfer was taking place, what policies were being transferred, the mechanisms through which policy was being transferred, what facilitated or constrained the process, and the outcomes of any adaptations made to the model that resulted from its implementation. This thesis illustrates the argument that, in practice, the transfer of community policing from one context to another as a type of package that can be copied rarely occurs. Through processes of policy transfer, as part of a package of reforms, policy design mutates by purposefully adopting or amending aspects of 'the' policy, and by implementation. In Abu Dhabi, this resulted in a centralised structure with specialised community police teams undertaking a social welfare role, with minimal use of police powers. This translation, rather than transfer of policy, resulted in a bespoke model of community policing designed to support local citizens, but simultaneously acknowledging the need to engage with the wider expatriate population to share community information in order to prevent crime and maintain security.

16. Ethics policies and gratuity acceptance by purchasers

Abstract

Most purchasing professionals generally agree that the acceptance of significant gratuities is inappropriate and should be discouraged. Managers need effective methods of monitoring and controlling such activities. This study examined the impact of certain individual and organizationally controlled variables on the acceptance of gratuities. Consequently, the study was able to identify some approaches that can be used by management for control purposes. The results indicate that formal, written policies do have a significant impact on reducing the acceptance of gratuities. However, if these policies are not also applied to sales personnel in the same organization, their impact may be diminished significantly, if not lost altogether. The engagement of upper level management in questionable activities was found to be positively related to the acceptance of gratuities by buyers and purchasing supervisors. Ironically, while it seems logical that input from purchasing personnel in the development of purchasing ethics policies should reduce the propensity to accept gratuities by department personnel, the study produced no evidence that supported this conclusion., INTRODUCTION The acceptance of gratuities from suppliers is an issue of major concern within the purchasing function. Most purchasing professionals agree that such actions are inappropriate and should be discouraged.(1) [...]

Abstract

Business educators are challenged daily to provide fresh ideas in the classroom and to use new methods to stimulate active learning. One option is to use manufacturing plant tours, company museums, and company visitor centers to supplement traditional classroom activities. This manuscript details this growing type of tourism (known as Consumer Experience Tourism) and identifies the product categories of greatest interest to today's students in Business and Economics. Business educators are encouraged to more fully embrace this under-utilized resource to promote active student learning and to select those destinations of greatest interest to their particular student audiences.

Abstract

The outlook for patients with pancreatic cancer has been grim. There have been major advances in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer, leading to a dramatic reduction in post-operative mortality from the development of high volume specialized centres. This stimulated the study of adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatments in pancreatic cancer including chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy. Initial protocols have been based on the original but rather small GITSG study first reported in 1985. There have been two large European trials totalling over 600 patients (EORTC and ESPAC-1) that do not support the use of chemoradiation as adjuvant therapy. A second major finding from the ESPAC-1 trial (541 patients randomized) was some but not conclusive evidence for a survival benefit associated with chemotherapy. A third major finding from the ESPAC-1 trial was that the quality of life was not affected by the use of adjuvant treatments compared to surgery alone. The ESPAC-3 trial aims to assess the definitive use of adjuvant chemotherapy in a randomized controlled trial of 990 patients.

38. EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCES IN QUALITY PRACTICES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

Abstract

Companies around the world are moving towards outsourcing some or all of their operations in order to remain in business or to gain a competitive edge. However, one of the dilemmas that companies face is that even though quality is now considered an order qualifier instead of an order winner, quality practices might not be embedded into operations in other regions of the world. Therefore, from a strategic and operational perspective, it is paramount to identify if differences exist among countries traditionally considered candidates for outsourcing from a quality practices perspective. In this research, we investigate the quality practices and the outcomes of these practices in three countries located in different regions of the world: Taiwan, Costa Rica and Mexico. The main purpose of the study is to find out the similarities and differences in quality practices and results among the countries previously mentioned. Based on previous research in the Quality Management area, several constructs representing quality management practices and quality results were conceptualized to develop a survey instrument. Data was analyzed using a number of different statistical techniques, including MANOVA, ANOVA and t-tests. The research findings indicate important differences with regards to quality practices and results, which are analyzed and discussed. Implications for decision-makers considering outsourcing and/or joint ventures with international companies as strategic alternatives are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
