12	Securing Government Contracts for Women-Owned Small Businesses Harrison, Janet Harrison 01 January 2017 (has links) Research indicates a variety of factors may inhibit the award of federal contracts to women-owned small businesses; however, a dearth of research exists on the topic from the perspectives of women who own small businesses. The purpose of this case study was to identify the capabilities needed by female small business owners in Atlanta, Georgia to win federal contracts. The framework was based on the theory of representative bureaucracy and the effects of gender differences on individuals' entrepreneurial perceptions. Data were collected via semistructured interviews with 6 women who owned small businesses and competed for federal contracts. Results of the thematic data analysis revealed 3 overarching themes: intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors, and contract procurement experiences. Each of these themes reflected qualities fundamental to participants' successful procurement of federal contracts. Significant intrinsic characteristics included adaptability, work ethic, and networking skills. Stakeholders may use study results to foster positive social change by providing women with resources they need to compete for federal contracts. Female entrepreneurs could improve communities by using strategies from this research to reduce unemployment and increase income for themselves and their employees. Social implications include the development of additional training programs to teach women how to complete contract applications, which may increase their participation in federal contract procurement and positively contribute to the economy. federal contracts female entrepreneurs government contracts local contracts positive social change women owned small business Business Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Women's Studies
13	Changing the Face of the Earth: The Morrison-Knudsen Corporation as Partner to the U.S. Federal Government Blanchard, Christopher S 08 December 2014 (has links) Beginning with reclamation projects in the western U.S., the heavy construction industry helped the federal government grow in size and sophistication in the twentieth century. The Morrison-Knudsen Corporation throughout the twentieth century represented one of the federal government's favored contractors. Following western reclamation projects, the U.S. federal government then used contractors to help move the U.S. economy out of the Depression, prepare for World War II, wage the Cold War at home and abroad, and win the space race. Thus, at key stages in United States history we observe the necessity of the U.S. federal government partnering with the heavy construction industry to achieve its policy objectives at home and abroad. Morrison-Knudsen was once the largest heavy contractor in the United States, participating in the construction of Hoover Dam, Pacific Naval Air Bases, Hanford Engineering Works, the U.S. Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System, and the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center.

14	Government contracts and public values : the case of court administration Konina, Anastasia 01 1900 (has links) Cette thèse examine le rôle du secteur privé au sein du Système de Gestions des Cours et du Greffe (SGCG) qui a pour objectif de fournir un soutien administratif aux tribunaux judiciaires du Canada. Si, jusqu’à présent, cette tâche revenait au personnel des diverses cours, il est finalement apparu nécessaire de réduire les délais de procédure et d’accroître l’efficacité des tribunaux en sollicitant le secteur privé. C’est ainsi que les gouvernements ont pris l’initiative de moderniser le SGCG en investissant dans la transformation numérique, afin de permettre la numérisation et l’indexation des documents, ainsi que l’automatisation du flux de travail. Au coeur de cette étude nous pouvons identifier un certain mécontentement quant à la manière dont le droit public tend à réglementer les services offerts par le secteur privé aux tribunaux. Plus précisément, cette thèse soutient que la méthode employée par les différents gouvernements (fédéral et provincial) concernant la réglementation des contrats, ne permet pas de faire face à la pression croissante que les acteurs privés exercent sur l’indépendance judiciaire, valeur pourtant fondamentale. Cela s’explique par le fait que cette régulation est trop centralisée, et qu’elle ne tient pas compte des besoins spécifiques à chaque institution et aux projets impliquant le secteur privé. Cette thèse suggère donc de s’appuyer sur des instruments alternatifs – tels que le processus d’acquisition de marchés et les clauses contractuelles qui en découlent – afin de combler les lacunes réglementaires existantes. / This thesis examines the role of the private sector in the delivery of courts and registry management services (“CRMS”) for courts across Canada. CRMS represents a segment of court administration that can also be referred to as court support services. Traditionally, such services have been provided by the courts’ administrative personnel. However, the private sector offers an opportunity to digitize and automate many services. Because the modernization of CRMS is instrumental in reducing procedural delays and increasing the efficiency of our courts, governments across the country have been investing money in technology-driven court administration solutions developed by the private sector. At the heart of this thesis is a dissatisfaction with how public law regulates this privatized segment of court administration. Particularly, this thesis argues that the federal and provincial approaches to the regulation of government contracts are not prepared to address the mounting pressure exerted by private actors on the core value of court administration: judicial independence. Largely, this is because the regulation of government contracts is too centralized and does not account for the specific needs of different institutions and privatization projects. This thesis suggests relying on alternative instruments – such as the procurement process and the resulting contract clauses - to fill the regulatory gaps.

15	Government Funding and Failure in Nonprofit Organizations Vance, Danielle L. 15 March 2011 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / For nonprofit organizations, securing and sustaining funding is essential to survival. Many nonprofit managers see government funding as ideal because of its perceived security (Grønbjerg, 1993; Froelich, 1999). However, there is little evidence to support the claim that such funds actually make nonprofits more sustainable, and some research has even suggested that nonprofits receiving “fickle” government funds are more likely to fail (Hager et al., 2004). The primary purpose of this work is to examine the relationship between government funding and nonprofit failure. Its secondary purpose is to understand the relationships between failure, government funding, and the causes for failure suggested by previous research—instability of the funding source and low funding diversification. To examine these relationships, I chose to use survival analysis and employed the Cox regression technique. Here, I analyzed the NCCS-Guidestar National Nonprofit Research Database, which archives nonprofit IRS filings from 1998 to 2003. This data set is noteworthy for its level of detail and its comprehensive nature. I found that organizations receiving government funding are less likely to fail, especially if this funding is part of a balanced portfolio. Organizations with higher percentages of nonprofit funding and organizations with less diversified overall portfolios do not. Furthermore, nonprofit organizations with less diversified portfolios were more likely to fail, and, among organizations receiving government funding, those with the highest percentage of their revenue from the government were more likely to fail than their counterparts with less funding.

16	A Translation of Dominik Nagl’s Grenzfälle with an Introductory Analysis of the Translation Process Keady, Joseph 01 February 2020 (has links) My thesis is an analysis of my own translation of a chapter from Dominik Nagl's legal history 'Grenzfälle,' which addresses questions of citizenship and nationality in the context of the German colonies in Africa and the South Pacific. My analysis focuses primarily on strategies that I used in an effort to preserve the strangeness of a linguistic context that is, in many ways, "foreign" to twenty first-century North Americans while also striving to avoid reproducing the violence embedded in language that is historically laden with extreme power disparities.

17	Social structures of contracts - a case study of the Vietnamese market Nguyen, Quan Hien Unknown Date (has links) (PDF) What makes real life contractual arrangements? How does the law influence real life contractual arrangements? These are everyday questions for businesspeople and commercial lawyers. The traditional ‘imperative’ view of law assumes that business people contract ‘in the shadow of the law’ and contractual arrangements conform to what the law says. But empirical studies on contract practice suggest that contract law may, in fact, play a very insignificant role in real life contractual arrangements. This thesis provides a sociological view of the role of contract law in real life contractual arrangements in the context of the Vietnamese market. Specifically, this thesis applies an institutional law & economics approach to investigate how social structures of the market influence contractual arrangements to marginalize contract law in the Vietnamese market. Drawing on two surveys of contract behaviour in the Vietnamese market, this thesis finds that real life contractual arrangements respond to the institutional structure of the market as a whole, rather than only ‘the shadow of the law’. Institutional changes in the Vietnamese market suggest that there exists a merchant law system, constituted of traditional moral norms and social structures in the market. This merchant law system continues to order contractual arrangements in the market, despite the introduction of a transplanted contract law system. Disagreeing with the imperative approach, this thesis claims that contract law reform should conform to the institutional structure of the market to reduce transaction costs of contracting and to provide an effective framework for real life contractual arrangements.
