Besides managing its internal activities, the supply chain management has the challenge of coordinating and managing its partners, including suppliers and customers. The references indicate some organizational and management tools that can help in performing those activities, and in this paper, they will be called coordinating practices to suplly chain management. This paper focus is to analyse the application of some tools in the automotive channel, and the main objectives are: identify and evalute the benefits performance reached through the use and application of some coordinating practices in automotive supply chain, focalizing the relationship between industry and channel, formed by car dealerships. The secondary objectives are: identify power, dependende and conflict relationships between OEM and channel; define the leadership and control; verify the main franchising contracts characteristics; identifiy the impact and the benefits of coordinating iniciatives in different car dealership sizes. Among its reasons, this paper aims to fill out the gap in researched literature, marked by few academic studies with unit of analysis in car vehicles distribution or in industry-distribution channel relationship. In this paper, the research type is a exploratory survey in one of the four main automotive industries in country, and in its respective channel. Expecting that the research results improve the practices applicability, and also help both industry and dealerships in managing the existing relationship. / A principal mudança na gestão das empresas atuais está voltada à construção e à gestão das cadeias de suprimentos, decorrente da necessidade de tornálas mais competitivas, resultado do reconhecimento de que, a competição no mercado atual ocorre no nível de cadeias e não mais apenas entre unidades de negócios isoladas. Além da necessidade de gerenciar suas atividades internas, a gestão da cadeia de suprimentos tem como desafio a coordenação e a gestão de todos seus elos, o que inclui os agentes à montante e à jusante. A literatura indica algumas ferramentas gerenciais e organizacionais que podem auxiliar no desempenho destas atividades, que nesta dissertação, são chamadas de práticas de coordenação à gestão da cadeia de suprimentos. O foco do trabalho está na análise de algumas ferramentas no canal de distribuição automotivo, e os principais objetivos são: identificar e avaliar o desempenho dos benefícios alcançados com o uso e aplicação de algumas práticas de coordenação utilizadas à jusante na cadeia automotiva, focando as relações entre montadora e canal de distribuição, formado pelas concessionárias de automóveis. Como objetivos secundários procura-se: identificar as relações de poder, dependência e conflito existentes entre montadora e concessionárias; verificar as formas de liderança e controle do canal; verificar as características dos contratos de concessão; identificar o impacto e avaliar o desempenho dos benefícios das práticas de coordenação em concessionárias de diferentes portes. Dentre suas justificativas, o trabalho procura preencher a lacuna existente na literatura pesquisada, marcada pela pequena quantidade de estudos acadêmicos em que a unidade de análise seja a distribuição de veículos ou a relação montadora-rede de distribuição. Nesta dissertação, o tipo de pesquisa é um survey exploratório em uma das quatro principais montadoras instaladas no país e em seu respectivo canal de distribuição. Espera-se que os resultados apresentados sirvam para aprimorar o funcionamento das práticas utilizadas, bem como, auxiliar tanto a montadora, quanto as concessionárias, na gestão dos relacionamentos existentes.

Magister Philosophiae (Land and Agrarian Studies) - MPhil(LAS) / This was an original case study that aimed to locate South African post-apartheid rural land social movements within existing theoretical approaches. The land social movements organize around land rights and access for landless people and for those whose land rights are weak or threatened. The study analyzed conditions contributing to the emergence of land social movements in the post-apartheid South Africa and struggle methods they employ, using a case study of the Tenure Security Coordinating Committee in KwaZulu-Natal. / South Africa

A signalization in an Internet protocol environment is commonly used for monitoring quality of service and other parameters of a network. This thesis is involved in transmission of signalization through internet protocol networks and proposes scalable solution for small and even for large-scale internet television broadcasting. The main contribution of this thesis lies in design and validation of optimal hierarchical tree on the basis of resources assigned. This is done in respect to geographical distance, network distance of each particular member of the hierarchical structure. For the design of algorithms simulations and global experimental network were used.

This study compares the perceptions of presidents and academic and fiscal vice presidents of Texas public senior colleges and universities and with those of (appointed) members of the Texas Coordinating Board. A survey instrument was developed, based upon appropriate coordinating board functions discussed in the literature review, A five-point scale was used to measure intensity or agreement or disagreement. Responses were subjected to one way analysis of variance to determine differences between administrators and board members. Differences significant at the .05 level are reported. Administrators and board members differed significantly on all statements related to centralized control versus internal autonomy. Board members endorsed a greater variety of roles and a higher level of activity for the board than did administrators, although members were not expansionistic. Administrators indicated diverse opinions regarding the board's role. Responses related to formula funding were similar. Board members believed that requests to the legislature for higher education funding needs should be presented in terms of a statewide system; administrators indicated uncertainty. Both agreed on the increasing importance of long-range planning in formula development, but administrators were unsure whether such planning would help provide stability and realistic expectations in funding. Both groups endorsed a greater role for the board in collecting, interpreting, and disseminating information regarding higher education institutions. Neither subgroup offered an opinion regarding subjection of higher education budget requests to the criteria used for other state agencies. Board members and administrators disagreed as to whether private business standards were appropriate for higher education institutions. The relationship between funding recommended by the board and appropriations passed by the legislature was not considered appropriate for evaluating board success. State appropriations for higher education were seen as an investment in the state's economic future. Administrators did not believe college and university faculties understood the board s role in funding; board members were undecided.

The 8-inch wafer Fab. landing China or not evoked highly concerned in the worldwide, and even evoked the misdoubt if Taiwan clash with Wassenar Agreements . On New Year¡¦s Day, President Chen Shei-Ben reiterated the Policy of Economy and Trade across the Taiwan Straits, ¡§Proactive liberalization with effective management¡¨, which also evoked controversy in the worldwide. While UMC (United Microelectronic Corporation) ¡¥s He-Jan investment was been debating hotly, we considered if it also had great effect of production race between Taiwan and China, besides business benefits. Moreover, we considered if it resulted in the technology illegal landing, and conflicted with Wassenar Agreements, by avoiding to threaten the national security. If Taiwan was a launching pad of America high tech to China, it would cause other high techs importing forbiddance from America. Because of that, Taiwan gets more a loss than gains. Suppose ¡§Economic globalization¡¨ is the lifeblood of Taiwan; The semiconductor industry is not only holding on the advantages of past , but also trying to approach to the market. Furthermore, it should create production competitiveness. The government should follow the market rules, develop the reciprocal relationship with business and reach the goal of looking after both sides, economic developing and national security. In this study, it expects to discuss the influence of The Sensitive Scientific Technology Draft Bill legislation of funding, technology, equipment, brain-import abridged in semiconductor production in Taiwan to the competitive advantage of production; (1) Understanding the status and meaning of The Sensitive Scientific Technology Draft Bill in Taiwan. (2) Does tech-import controlling of The Sensitive Scientific Technology Draft Bill in Taiwan has connecting to international relative laws? (3) Analyzing the impact of the protect mechanism of The Sensitive Scientific Technology Draft Bill to competitive advantage of semiconductor industry. The first study step is to comparing analyze the aims, effects, targets of international relative laws by documents study, especially according to the international relative laws of high-tech import controlling, for example, the administration rules and complement actions of COCOM and Wassenar Agreements, for understanding the reasonable and objective of The Scientific Technology Draft Bill (The Sensitive Scientific Technology Draft Bill). Moreover, base on profound interview with business to processing the situational analysis of business, production, people, society, government and the national security. This study conclusion and the suggestions from business experience can offer the reference resources for lawmaking and revising.

In the early 1960s, African-American residents of southwest Georgia cooperated with organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to launch a freedom movement that would attempt to battle white supremacy and bring all Americans closer to their country's democratic ideals. Movement participants tried to overcome the fear ingrained in them by daily life in the Jim Crow South, and to reconstruct American society from within. Working within a tradition of black insurgency, participants attempted to understand the origins of the intimidation and powerlessness that they often felt, and to form a strong community based on mutual respect, equality, and trust. Black women played fundamental roles in shaping this movement and African-American resistance patterns more generally, and struggles such as the southwest Georgia movement reveal the ways in which black people have identified themselves as American citizens, equated citizenship with political participation, and reinterpreted American democratic traditions along more just and inclusive lines. This thesis begins with a narrative of the movement. It then moves on to discuss SNCC's efforts to build community solidarity and empower African-American residents of southwest Georgia, and to consider the notion that SNCC owed its success to the activism of local women and girls. Next, it proposes that in the southwest Georgia movement there was no clear distinction between public and private space and work, and it suggests that activism in the movement emerged from traditional African-American patterns of family and community organization. Finally, this thesis asserts that the mass jail-ins for which the movement became famous redefined and empowered the movement community. This analysis reconsiders the analytical categories with which scholars generally study social movements. Instead of employing a linear narrative structure that emphasizes formal political activity and specific tactical victories, this thesis suggests that political participation takes diverse forms and it highlights the cycles of community building and individual empowerment that characterize grassroots organizing. It underscores the sheer difficulty of initiating and sustaining a mass struggle, and argues that the prerequisite to forming an insurgent movement is the ability of individuals to envision alternative social and cultural possibilities.
