Strategy, Structure and Control In the Changing Corporation: A Survey‐Based Investigation

Paul Marginson, Paul Edwards, Peter Armstrong and John Purcell draw on the findings of IRRU's Company Level Industrial Relations Survey to investigate the business structure, budgetary control systems and strategic orientations of large companies in the UK. Companies’ internal structure, and their systems of budgetary control, are shown to be associated with the kind of diversification strategy they are pursuing. Both external change, such as acquisition, and organic change are widespread across all types of firm as is the consequent internal reorganisation. They discuss the implications of the different strategic orientations and structural arrangements, and the rapidity of organisational change, for human resource policy.Paul Marginson and Paul Edwards are respectively Senior Lecturer and Professor of Industrial Relations at the Warwick Business School and Associate Fellow and Deputy Director of its Industrial Relations Research Unit; Peter Armstrong is Senior Lecturer in the Management School at the University of Sheffield; and John Purcell is University Lecturer in Management Studies and Fellow of Templeton College, Oxford.

Restructuring the Personnel Function: the Case of Nhs Trusts1

Stephen Bach, who is Lecturer in Industrial Relations at the Warwick Business School and an Associate Fellow of its Industrial Relations Research Unit, examines the impact of the internal market in the NHS on the role, organisation and influence of the personnel function. He argues that personnel specialists have not been able to fulfil expectations of them and occupy a peripheral role within NHS trusts. This has occurred because of their limited involvement in corporate decision making, the difficulties of decentralising personnel practice and the absence of a strategic direction for the management of human resources at national level. In this context, he argues that the prospects for the personnel function and the potential for an integrated, long‐term approach to the management of staff in the NHS remain at best uncertain.

J. Preston Layton 1919–1992: A guiding light in nuclear space power and propulsion

An eventful, highly productive career ended with the death of James Preston (“Pres”) Layton in December 1992. His career in rockets, which spanned 50 years, is a chronology of developments in the U.S. space program. Layton was instrumental in the development of rocket technologies ranging from the first jet-assisted take off (JATO) boosters used on aircraft to space nuclear power and propulsion. His work on JATOs, during World War II, involved both testing of solid-fueled units on naval aircraft in the Pacific and developing advanced liquid-fueled systems at the U.S. Naval Academy's laboratory under the direction of Robert H. Goddard, the father of American rocketry. It was Goddard who inspired Layton to devote his life to rocketry. In 1948, as chief of propulsion for the Glenn L. Martin company, he became crew chief in charge of testing the first big U.S. rocket, the Viking series. Layton subsequently joined the research faculty at Princeton University where he served from 1951 to 1976, taking a brief leave in 1955 to earn a Masters Degree at Purdue University under the direction of Maurice Zucrow, another American rocket pioneer. As Chief Engineer of Princeton's Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Center, he created the nation's foremost university rocket research facilities, where he conducted the first experimental evaluation of liquid ozone as a rocket propellant. Later Layton led Princeton's Advanced Systems and Mission Analysis Laboratory, which conducted pioneering studies of space nuclear power and propulsion systems. During this period, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (on leave from Princeton), Layton helped develop and test the world's first and only nuclear ram-rocket. During his career, Layton performed many responsible consulting tasks for industry and government in the U.S.A. and abroad. He was chief technical consultant to Mathematica, Inc., whose analyses formed the basis for the current Space Shuttle design. He conducted an AIAA assessment of New Space Transportation Systems; and chaired a projection of space activities into the 2000 to 2020 time period for the National Research Council. More recently, he designed environmental and communications satellite propulsion systems for MATRA Espace and RCA Astro-Electronics. Layton was very active in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). In 1985, he served as International Program Committee Chairman of the 35th International Congress in Stockholm. Layton was a Fellow, American Astronautical Society, Associate Fellow of the AIAA, and a Member of the International Academy of Astronautics.

Accelerators and decelerators for large hypersonic aircraft

H YPERSONIC aircraft will be considerably different from subsonic aircraft. They will be very large, deltoid-configured aircraft with needle noses. Thus their shape will be almost the opposite that of subsonic aircraft which have much higher aspect-ratio wings and raindrop-shaped fuselages. A result of these differences is that hypersonic aircraft will have much higher takeoff and landing speeds, and they will be less efficient when flying at subsonic speeds. To overcome their low-speed inefficiency, more powerful subsonic engines would be required. Since noise increases with power, more noise would be created during subsonic operation. And because of their large size, hypersonic aircraft will generate intense sonic booms when flying at supersonic speeds. With these vast differences it is unreasonable to assume that hypersonic aircraft will be operated the same way as subsonic aircraft, i.e., that they will take off with onboard power and land on a long runway at any large airport. On the contrary, hypersonic aircraft, with their onerous characteristics, will probably be over-the-ocean craft, like the historical flying boats. Thus they will take off and land at only seacoast sites where the noise and sonic boom will be generated over an ocean. With takeoffs and landings at only a few sites, it will be economically feasible to have a considerable amount of ground-based equipment at each site. For good economics the operation of hypersonic aircraft must be very reliable. The use of ground-based, rather than airborne, equipment will increase their operational reliability because: 1) Ground-based equipment does not have the severe weight and volume limitations that airborne equipment has; so it can be designed more conservatively with larger margins of safety. 2) Ground-based equipment does not have to endure the vibrations, large temperature changes, and other hazards of flight. 3) Ground-based equipment will be available for maintenance most of the time. It will not be in the air where it cannot be serviced or repaired. Thus the goal should be to minimize the amount of airborne equipment by developing as much ground-based equipment as can be used. To fulfill this goal it is found that: 1) It is possible to design and build a ground-based accelerator that can precisely control the attitudes of very large aircraft while they are accelerated through the speed of sound and then launch them at a speed of Mach 2. 2) It is also possible to design and build a rotatable, groundbased decelerator that can land a large, fully-loaded aircraft that is traveling at a speed of 450 mph.

Influence of far-field boundary on the calculated flowfield and performance of rotors

A experiment was conducted to demonstrate the influence of the physical location of the far-field boundary on the calculated performance and flowfield of a two-dimensional Darrieus rotor. A substantial sensitivity to the extent of the computational domain was noted and a series of calculations and comparisons with other approaches are presented to show the influence on pressure recovery and power estimates. Although the study was restricted to the case of a rotor, the sensitivity to far-field boundary will be of concern to the computation of other momentum devices. Introduction A two-dimensional Darrieus wind turbine, facing a uniform wind and spinning in the anticlockwise direction, is assumed to be placed at the center of a Cartesian domain. The computational domain is subdivided into control volumes by a series of orthogonal grid lines. The rotor-blades paths are circular in any horizontal plane. The velocity and presure field were obtained by solving steady, laminar, incompressible, NavierStokes equations using a primative variable finite-difference procedure known as SIMPLER. The influence of the spinning turbine blades was introduced as momentum source terms Sx and Sy (not known a priori) in the conservation equations. These terms are zero everywhere except at the circle described by the path of the blades. Rajagopalan and Fanucci proved this approach to be feasible in an application to inviscid flow around a two-dimensional vertical axis wind turbine in cylindrical coordinates, and further validation was obtained by Paraschivoiu et al. who compared the predictions with experiments after including dynamic stall effects. In functional notation, for a time-averaged calculation, the source terms can be written as Sx = Sx(Ci,Cd,a,Yabs,<*,R,e,c,p9B) (la) Sy = Sy(Cl9Cd9a9Yabs9u9R,0,c,p,B) (Ib) where Q and Cd are airfoil characteristics of the turbine blade, o: is the angle of attack of the blade to the relative velocity vector, Yabs is the absolute velocity of the fluid at the location (R ,6), co is the angular velocity of the rotor, c is the chord of the blade, and B is the number of blades.

A Conversation with F. N. David

Florence Nightingale David was born on August 23, 1909 in Ivington, near Leominster, England. She received her degree in Mathematics in 1931 from Bedford College for Women. In 1933 she became Research Assistant to Karl Pearson at University College, and in 1935 she was appointed Assistant Lecturer in the Statistics Department, University College, London. She received her doctorate in Statistics from University College in 1938. During World War II, she served as Experimental Officer in the Ordnance Board for the Ministry of Supply, Senior Statistician for the Research and Experiments Department for the Ministry of Home Security, member of the Land Mines Committee of the Scientific Advisory Council and Scientific Advisor on Mines to the Military Experimental Establishment. She returned to the Statistics Department at University College in 1945 where she was appointed Lecturer, Reader and then Professor in 1962. Beginning in 1958, she made regular visits to the United States, principally as Visiting Professor and Research Statistician at the University of California at Berkeley with the Department of Statistics, and the Applied Climatology and Forestry Divisions. She was elected to the International Statistical Institute, Fellow of the American Statistical Association, Member of the University Senate at University College, Governor of Bedford College for Women, and served as Review Editor for Biometrika. In 1968 she became Professor and then Chair of the Department of Biostatistics, at the University of California in Riverside. In 1970 when the Department of Statistics was created, she became Professor and Chair of Statistics. She retired from Riverside in 1977 and moved to Berkeley where she continues to be active as Professor Emeritus and Research Associate in Biostatistics. F. N. David is the author of nine books (a tenth is in progress, on the measurement of natural populations), two monographs and over 100 papers in scientific journals. Many of these are actively referred to today. Combinatorial Chance (with D. E. Barton) contains fascinating combinatorial probability theory (much like Feller's Volume 1) impossible to find elsewhere. Her Tables of Symmetric Functions contains a 50-page introduction that is still the standard reference. Her Probability Theory for Statistical Methods contains the only available treatment of Lexis Theory, a forerunner of contingency table analysis. Her book, Games, Gods and Gambling, is widely recommended as an entertaining and authoritative account of the history of probability. Citations for these and her other five books are at the end of this article. Some of her 100 published papers 1932-1976 involve joint work with co-authors, including notables K. Pearson, J. Neyman, N. L. Johnson, M. G. Kendall, D. E. Barton, C. L. Mallows and E. Fix. To become further acquainted with her work, we can warmly recommend the following semester-long seminar: go to the Index to Statistics and Probability (Ross and Tukey, eds.), look up F. N. David and read through a selection of her papers. This interview took place in the Jerzy Neyman Conference Room at University of California in Berkeley in July 1988.
