The alkaline nature of most Arizona soils contributes to widespread iron deficiency in exotic ornamental plants, such as pyracantha. An experiment was conducted in 1987 to evaluate the effectiveness of two soil-applied iron fertilizers (FeEDDHA chelate and a jarosite-type iron silicate, Ironite\) and three rates of foliar- applied FeEDDHA in controlling iron chlorosis symptoms in established pyracantha vines. Soil-applied FeEDDHA was the most effective in reducing iron chlorosis symptoms, followed by the foliar chelate treatments. The iron silicate material had no significant effect on iron chloroses symptoms compared to the untreated control. Both soil and foliar applications of FeEDDHA chelate made in the fall can effectively control iron chlorosis symptoms in established pyracantha.

The researchers believe that this process demands planning, organization and accompaniment and it requires sta ff support with preparation to the standard rules and legislation. They report that they learned management in practice without specific training and a major difficulty is the delay in the fund liberation, which affects the research progress.

依產業全球化的發展態勢觀察，產業由初期水準分工結構，生產基地往低成本的區域發展（即生產全球化），協助維持企業在國際產業供應鏈上的競爭力，漸次發展成一方面以開發新市場商機（即市場全球化）為主的成長策略，另一方面則逐步走向以整合全球各地研發資源（即研發全球化），以建構最具優勢的競爭基礎，實現全球的商機。 快速技術變遷與技術擴散而帶來的市場競爭，是促成科技產業廠商致力於事業分工營運的主要因素，在知識產業□由於產品系統規模愈趨龐大，整合度更完整的前提下對透過專業分工整合各地資源可以分散風險，建構獨特與專業的產業影響力。此一趨勢發展，在產業全球化且高度分工的環境下，是廠商發展核心能力，建構競爭優勢的策略作為。 近來大部份台灣廠商以大陸投資策略為其全球化策略的第一步，因此在本研究中，希望採用行動研究方法(action research method)，探討知識產業公司在全球化策略的思維，透過先行在大陸設立協同合作子公司實際經營管理，將所遭遇管理問題，透過擬具之行動方案--創新研發管理、服務管理、人力資源管理等經營管理工作進行操兵演練，經由不斷的調整改變以符合各子公司的經營環境，以達到厚基核心競爭力、強化高執行力之企業目標，以為日後擴及其他國家或地區時可作為典範。 關鍵字：創新研發管理、服務管理、專案管理、知識管理 / According to the industrial globalization trend, the initial models of level-cooperation and low-cost region development (production globalization) have been changed. Instead, the industry has been significantly developed to the new strategy of market opportunity (market globalization) along with worldwide resource integration (research & development globalization) that builds up a competitive foundation for global commercial opportunities. Rapid technology movement and spreading have formed a highly competitive market, which is the primary fact of facilitating the hi-tech manufactures to focus on the business cooperation. In knowledge industry, because the scale of product system is getting grown and completely integrated, a unique and significant production influence has been settled to reduce risks via the professionalism cooperation and resource integration from all regions. Under the trend of industrial globalization and intensive cooperation, the main strategy implementation of manufacture is to develop its core capability as well as competitive superiority. In recent development, majority of manufactures in Taiwan makes their first step to the globalization by investment to Mainland China. As a result, in this research, we apply a mechanism, Action Research Method, to explore the concept behind the knowledge industry’s globalization. It is executed through the management experience from pre-established sub-company to draw up a scheme, including innovation and research management, service management, and human resource management. From the constant adjustments according to running status of sub-company, the ability of core competency is expected to be solid and concreted. In addition, it strengthens the target of paramount execution that can be the standard model using in other countries and business areas in the future.

Die Anpassung allgemeiner Managementprinzipien auf den Wissenschaftsbereich hat in den vergangenen Jahren das Berufsbild des Wissenschaftsmanagers hervor gebracht. Dieser Berufszweig versteht sich als Schnittstelle zwischen Verwaltung und Wissenschaft und muß sich wie jeder andere auch mit aktuellen technologischen Trends wie der Entwicklung von Web 2.0-Werkzeugen und deren Verbreitung in unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Bereiche auseinandersetzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt zunächst die Bedingungen, Potenziale und Grenzen des Einsatzes von Web 2.0 im Wissenschaftsmanagement als einem hierarchisch geprägten und wenig Technik affinen Bereich auf und verdeutlicht die Thesen anhand eines aktuellen Anwendungsbeispiels der Gerda Henkel Stiftung.

Budgetary control has been used and researched for years by both Western academics and practitioners. In China, it is re-emerging as a tool to implement management control, but might be used in different ways both in terms of understanding and operation. The research objective of this thesis is to examine the applicability of Western theories of change in management accounting in the context of budgeting in Chinese corporations. Challenges can exist because of the differences between Western assumptions and Chinese reality. The current thesis focuses on difficulties Chinese companies encounter in practical and deeper ideological ways: firstly, Western market-based ideology conflicts with an ideology which has been shaped by central-planning for decades; secondly, difficulties stem from the different cultural context of China which emphasizes hierarchical politeness, kinship ties, trust based on personal relationships, collectivism and social harmony, diligence and individual modesty, and less developed modern legal regulatory systems – these all contribute to China’s own way of doing things. This thesis also focuses on the transition process in China. Based on the assumption that budgetary changes do not happen in isolation from other management accounting changes, this thesis discusses these changes which synchronically took place while the case-study companies were implementing budgetary systems. This thesis adopts a longitudinal and in-depth qualitative case study research design, after adjustments made during the learning experience of the pilot study. It takes an interpretive and constructive philosophical underpinning, which allows the researcher to observe and understand the process of change, as well as the differences between Chinese practices and Western theories. Findings show that certain Western management accounting theories of change and Western theories of budgeting work in the case study Chinese corporations. Management accounting theories using an interpretive approach (for example, Berry et al., 1985; Scapens and Roberts, 1993; Ahrens and Chapman, 2002) lead the researcher to interpret management accounting practices from the practitioner’s points of view, and they have provided a range of terms to explain success or failure of management accounting changes. This approach together with Scapens et al.’s Institutional theory approach in management accounting have been found especially useful, in explaining the differences between Chinese vs. Western context. Furthermore, the contingency theory approach in management accounting gives a ‘platform’ which allows the researcher to assess a wide range of possible factors and their relationships with budgetary systems in studied companies. This approach is found useful in this thesis to present changes in other management accounting perspectives. Last but not least, this thesis finds existing Western literature in technical perspective of budgetary objectives, budgetary evaluation and participation, and budgetary effectiveness useful in a different context of China. By describing the change management process, an aspect which is not addressed frequently in the research literature, this thesis argues that to sufficiently understand Chinese companies’ budgetary changes, one also needs to understand unique cultural, social-economical and religious circumstances, and to adjust literature and methodology to adapt to these circumstances. This thesis provides an empirical experience concerning these issues. This thesis contributes to the understanding of management accounting change in China, and the tension which exists when Chinese companies are moving into Western management accounting practices.
