Epilogue

This history of Avon and Avon Ladies is one story amid a much longer history of women and business in the twentieth century. Coming of age in the 1980s, I grew up in a family in which my mother, a mid-level manager at a telephone company, encountered the glass ceiling in a slow-motion reality show. One by one, men she had trained became her boss, while her ideas and reports were appropriated by others and then used to justify their promotions and pay raises. The experience showed me how a business’s assumptions about appropriate gender roles could shape its management philosophy, daily communication, and corporate values. When I learned that Avon had made gender central to its business model, my curiosity was piqued. Its deep-seated language about women and business ownership revealed a company that thought about how women and men might create a corporation that assumed and relied on women’s agency as integral to success. Throughout the twentieth century, Avon’s championing of women’s economic potential was its hallmark contribution to business history....

An important aspect in the budgetsetting process is the tendency for budgeting managers to create budgetary slack. However, there is a limited study investigating the budgetary slack in non-profit oriented organization, such as local government. Therefore, this study address the gap in the literature by investigating the effect of budget participation and trust on budgetary slack. Besides, this study also analys the moderating effect of regulation understanding on the relationship the determinants (budget participation and trust) and budgetary slack. Final sample of this study is seven-eight (78) respondents who represented the lower level manager in organization. Structural equation model (SEM-PLS) is applied. The result show that only one hypothesis is accepted and other are rejected. the significant hypothesis is the effect of trust on budgetary slack. This study has practical and theoritical implication and it discussed in detail. Keywords : budgetary participations, trust, regulation understanding, budgetary slack

HR

This case study follows the career of Robert Peters (pseudonym), a middle level manager who faces numerous challenges as a team manager during his fledgling years. He is constantly questioning his role as the managerial representative who has to take care of his team members, their interests, and professional welfare. Scenarios such as the ethicality of senior management in ordering their lower level managers to spy on the employees during unfolding of trade unions activity, employees' rights during various change processes, disciplinary actions taken on employees which may lack human compassion, and issues pertaining to equity due to bias and nepotism are explored. This is an effort to understand the unequal quotient between labor and management, hidden depths in human resources (HR) role and functions, and ethical dilemmas which HR managers confront during their corporate career. This case study will enable readers to critically reflect on the responsibilities of HR, including its challenging role as the intermediary between the labor and management.

Proposal of an Automated Mission Manager for Cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for ocean interventions. Typical operations imply the pre-loading of a pre-generated mission plan into the AUV before being launched. Once deployed, the AUV waits for a start command to begin the execution of the plan. An onboard mission manager is responsible for handling the events that may prevent the AUV from following the plan. This approach considers the management of the mission only at the vehicle level. However, the use of a mission-level manager in coordination with the onboard mission manager could improve the handling of exogenous events that cannot be handled fully at the vehicle level. Moreover, the use of vehicle virtualization by the mission-level manager can ease the use of older AUVs. In this paper, we propose a new mission-level manager to be run at a control station. The proposed mission manager, named Missions and Task Register and Reporter (MTRR), follows a decentralized hierarchical control pattern for self-adaptive systems, and provides a basic virtualization in regard to the AUV’s planning capabilities. The MTRR has been validated as part of the SWARMs European project. During the final trials we assessed its effectiveness and measured its performance. As a result, we have identified a strong correlation between the length of mission plan and the time required to start a mission ( ρ s = 0.79 , n = 45 , p 0.001 ). We have also identified a possible bottleneck when accessing the repositories for storing the information from the mission. Specifically, the average time for storing the received state vectors in the relational database represented only 18.50% of the average time required for doing so in the semantic repository.

Dynamic Capability of Private Universities: The Role of Middle Managers

Achieving the quality of tertiary institutions as part of continuous quality improvement, the role of managers, especially at the middle level manager in business processes in higher education becomes very crucial in orchestrating the dynamic capabilities of the organization, because in this implementation the middle manager becomes the technical executor of the intended achievement process. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the elements consisting of sensing, seizing and reconfiguring the middle manager for continuous improvement growth. The results of the study confirm that the middle manager Sensing variable has a significant positive effect on continuous improvement growth, the variable middle manager does not affect continuous improvement growth, and the reconfiguring middle manager variable does not significantly influence continuous improvement growth. Research in the future can be re-implemented the seizing and reconfiguring variable on continuous improvement growth in different research objects, for example in manufacturing companies or at least samples in research, in further research can add a wider object of research, not only one institution but can use many institutions similar
