Economic Discrimination against International Minorities
Scientific Management and the American Hotel
In the early 20th century, the values associated with Frederick Taylor and scientific management affected the American hotel industry through three different avenues: Modern architecture was regarded as the reification of theTaylorist ideal, and secondly, the internal management of hotels reflected theTaylorist ethos.Thirdly, the occupation of traveling sales representative (commercial traveler), who comprised the key market niche for many hotels…
Irrational optimism in a declining industry
Sir Adam Beck, best known for his advocacy of publicly owned electric utilities, in 1920 sought to build a network of electric interurban railways in southern Ontario. Such ‘interurbans,’ often referred to as ‘radials’ in Ontario, were essentially long-distance trolleys and would have been entirely separate from conventional railways. Beck failed to recognize that the interurban industry was already in a state of decline by 1920, and the resultin…
Toward a psychological and cultural model of downsizing
Organizational downsizing is often counterproductive and applied irrespective of past financial performance. The popularity of this tactic leads to the question of whether an executive's propensity to downsize is linked to characteristics such as uncertainty avoidance and risk tolerance, which can be examined at either an individual or societal level.

Minority Representation in Higher Education
The impact of population composition on phenomena of racial relations has intrigued scholars for generations, yet in the U.S. context, such research has focused disproportionately on the issue of black-white relations. As U.S. racial diversity increases, bilateral models of race relations are being replaced by multilateral approaches. This study applies one such multilateral model, Blau's |1~ theory of heterogeneity, to the issue of student admis…

Religion and Achievement Motivation in the United States
According to McClelland (1961), Protestants should show greater achievement motivation than Catholics due to Weber's thesis of the Protestant work ethic. This proposition was tested using a sample of 144 U.S. counties. Partial correlation analysis indicated that there was no relationship between religion and achievement motivation when the latter was expressed as income per capita. However, when achievement motivation was operationalized as educa…
