Drone-Mounted Lidar Survey of Maya Settlement and Landscape
We conducted unmanned aerial vehicle lidar missions in the Maya Lowlands between June 2017 and June 2018 to develop appropriate methods, procedures, and standards for drone lidar surveys of ancient Maya settlements and landscapes. Three site locations were tested within upper Usumacinta River region using Phoenix Lidar Systems: Piedras Negras, Guatemala, was tested in 2017, and Budsilha and El Infiernito, both in Mexico, were tested in 2018. Thes…
Something axiomatic on the nature of articulacy
Scholarly study of the British author Don Paterson’s work may be in its infancy, but the poem ‘An Elliptical Stylus’, from his first collection of poetry Nil Nil (1993), has already attracted a considerable degree of critical attention. This essay discusses various appraisals of the poem, within a detailed exploration of the ways in which divides between, and anxieties surrounding, social classes in contemporary Britain are re-evaluated and redre…
Over the Weberian Wall
Overseas Chinese businesses have been characterized as possessing unique cultural attributes or being embedded in specific institutional environments that constrict their growth and lead to them taking on limited economic roles. Familism, particularism, nepotism and the lack of state support (among other cultural and institutional features) it is argued, stand in the way of the emergence of large, successful and enduring firms, and problems of in…
Guanxi and supplier search mechanisms in China
Supply localization is an expressed desire among western MNCs with manufacturing subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China (PRC), but poor information coding and diffusion poses problems in identifying suitable local supply firm partners. This article investigates the mechanics of personal connections, and in particular guanxi, in local supplier search and appraisal within a large sample of UK-and US-invested manufacturers in China. The resu…
A state-wide senior parallel programming course
In this paper, we describe an undergraduate parallel programming course based upon networked workstations. The course is offered on the North Carolina Research and Education Network (NC-REN), a private telecommunications network which interconnects universities in North Carolina and provides multiway, face-to-face video, and audio communications. Course materials are described and made available in a new textbook. Topics are divided into basic te…
“Front‐end reflections”
The Japanization debate in the UK has moved considerably since first mooted in 1987. On the one hand academics ‐ advocates as well as sceptics ‐ have questioned its continued usefulness as an analytical framework. On the other, there has been greater sophistication, refinement and clarity on what is being studied, and particularly surrounding aspects of the transferability of the Japanese model. This paper reports on a study of production supervi…
Factories or Warehouses? A Welsh Perspective on Japanese Transplant Manufacturing
MUNDAY M., MORRIS J. and WILKINSON B. (1995) Factories or warehouses? A Welsh perspective on Japanese transplant manufacturing, Reg. Studies 29, 1–17. Critics of Japanese direct manufacturing investment have argued that the Japanese transplant manufacturing sector (TMS) represents an attempt to circumvent trade barriers rather than a genuine globalization of Japanese capital, and that host regions will find themselves with warehouses or low value…
Japan and Northeast Asia
Pushing back the frontiers
Drawing on primary and secondary sources the authors argue that the JIT/TQM manufacturing system intensifies work as a result of increased surveillance and monitoring of workers' activities, heightened responsibility and accountability, the harnessing of peer pressure within ‘teams' and via ‘customers', and the fostering of ‘involvement’ in waste elimination and the continuous improvement of the production process
Someone to Watch Over Me
Theory and observations are used to argue that JIT/TQC regimes both create and demand systems of surveillance which improve on those of previous factory regimes by instilling discipline and thereby enhancing central control. For its theoretical inspiration this paper draws upon the work of Michel Foucault, especially his conception of Power/Knowledge as articulated in his book Discipline and Punish. This theoretical framework is extended to provi…
Japanese Influences on British Industrial Culture
Social engineering in Singapore
National ideology, technology and employment
An understanding of the changes taking place in Singapore's construction industry is not achieved simply by reference to ‘technological imperatives’. Changes in technology, work patterns and employment are closely bound up with the ideological orientations of the ruling elite. This article analyses these changes and examines the implications for the workforce
The Shopfloor Politics of New Technology
From Old School Hunches to Departmental Lunches
Despite the steady supply of books on management we still have very few sociological accounts of managerial work and organisation within particular firms and industries. Through first-hand observation and over twelve months intensive interviewing, the authors were able to uncover a virtual anthropology of managerial ideology, generational conflict, career and intra-managerial politics and arbitration in four manufacturing firms. One such case-stu…
The Shopfloor Politics of New Technology
Technologie, compétences et formation
A partir d'une étude de cas portant sur l'introduction de machines-outils à commande numérique (MOCN) chez le premier constructeur britannique de machines-outils, l'auteur rend compte des enjeux que représente cette nouvelle technologie pour différents groupes d'ouvriers, en matière de qualifications, d'organisation du travail, de répartition des tâches et d'exercice du contrôle. Wilkinson montre en effet comment les machines MOCN contribuent à m…
