The Relationship between Mission Statement and Firms’ Performance

After two decades of research, the clear relationship between a mission statement and a firm’s performance is not found yet. Past research has demonstrated the meaningful relationship between the mission statement and the performance. Some of these studies, however, have indicated there is no meaningful relationship between the mission statement and the performance. The aim of this paper is to identify the relationship between the mission statement components and the performance components. Moreover, it tries to help managers to state high quality of the mission statement in their firms. Six-component mission statement was developed to measure the completeness of firm’s mission statement, and the BSC was used so as to measure the firms’ performance. The BSC includes four dimensions: financial, customer, internal process and learning and growth. In this research, field research technique was applied, and questionnaires were used in order to gather data. The statistical population was 35 firms. Totally, 1400 questionnaires were passed out, 40 questionnaires in each firm, out of which 1230 questionnaires were returned. SPSS 18 was utilized to analyze the data. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between the components of the mission statement and some of the performance components. The most significant positive relationship was found between the purpose and the financial component, and the least significant positive relationship was found between the vision and the internal presses. In addition, the financial dimension was related to the all the mission components. As a result, improving firm mission statement will improve financial performance, and strategic managers should devote extreme attention to this issue.

Birdcall lures improve passerine mist-net captures at a sub-tropical African savanna.

Field research techniques are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the scientific community. There is a growing need for field biology studies to shift towards increasing efficiency and quality of results while simultaneously decreasing cost in both the researcher’s time and resources. I tested the efficacy of using multiple recorded birdcall lures (n = 172 species) to improve mist-net captures at a subtropical African savanna setting. Capture success was compared between passive and birdcall enhanced mist-nets during winter and summer seasons. Results suggest that the use of birdcalls does significantly increase the total number of birds caught in both seasons and also increases the diversity of passerine species. Conventional passive mist-nets without an audio lure were initially productive but their capture rate subsequently decreased as sampling days progressed. Birdcall lure enhanced mist-nets had a constant capture output during the summer season. The most responsive birds to audio lures were gregarious species (e.g. Pycnonotus barbatus, Dryoscopus cubla, Prionops plumatus, Phoeniculus purpureus, Turdoides jardineii and Lamprotornis chalybaeus) and the aggressive Dicrurus adsimilis and Acridotheres tristis. I conclude that birdcall lures can be used in summer and winter seasons to improve mist-net captures especially for studies focusing on gregarious and aggressive passerine species in a sub-tropical African savanna setting.

A LÓGICA CAPITALISTA NA PRODUÇÃO DO ESPAÇO URBANO E AS SITUAÇÕES DE VULNERABILIDADE SOCIAL NA CIDADE

O presente texto procura discutir a relação entre a produção capitalista do espaço urbano e a situação de vulnerabilidade social na cidade, tomando como exemplo empírico o caso da ocupação das margens do córrego Jaracatiá em Colíder (MT), tendo como base o materialismo histórico e dialético, com o emprego de técnicas de pesquisa de campo e aplicação de questionário junto aos moradores para identificar seu perfil socioeconômico. Entende-se que há relação entre problemas sociais com os ambientais; entretanto, neste manuscrito deteve-se apenas nas questões sociais por tratar-se de resultados parciais de projeto de pesquisa ainda em andamento. As análises realizadas até o momento demonstram que a população possui baixos níveis de rendimentos e de escolaridade e ao ocupar área de fragilidade ambiental está constantemente exposta à riscos e em situação de vulnerabilidade social, como resultado de sua posição marginal na sociedade capitalista.

Expanding Access to Science Field-Based Research Techniques for Online Students through OER

Adoption of open educational resources (OERs) by the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) community has yet to become an integral part of higher education classrooms. Many STEM faculty have been reluctant to develop and use OERs because the process of developing these resources is time-consuming and finding appropriate resources for higher education remains overwhelming. The team, Matias, Woo, and Whitley-Grassi at State University of New York (SUNY) developed a process to help generate OERs for topics that are generally associated with laboratory equipment or field research techniques in ecology and earth sciences, as well as general science. This project draws on the need to develop resources and expand access to scientific field-based research techniques through OERs for students learning at a distance. Engaging in undergraduate scientific virtual field experiences is an educational opportunity for students with a desire for an enriched learning experience in the sciences, particularly in ecology and earth sciences, but that cannot participate in a traditional field-based curriculum. This article discusses the current status of the use of OERs for STEM education and our approach to developing three OERs in the areas of microscopy, geologic history interpretation, and biodiversity. The team concludes by sharing some of the challenges and lessons learned in the process.

Hunting Success on Albany, Georgia Plantations: The Albany Quail Project's Modern Quail Management Strategy

The Albany Quail Project began in March 1992 as a cooperative between Auburn University’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences and the private quail plantation community surrounding Albany, Georgia. The goal of this collaboration was to increase population densities and hunting success of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) on these properties. Issues important to the plantations were investigated via field research techniques (e.g. radio-telemetry) and then modifications in management regimes were put into practice. From 1992-2006 over 8,000 wild bobwhites were radio-tagged to study various demographic and population mechanism of bobwhites. The result has been a change in management style based on science creating the concept of Modern Quail Management (MQM) techniques. Bobwhite population densities and hunting success during the last decade on these properties have been higher and more stable than witnessed during any previous period in their history. On our primary study site during 1980-1996 the average number of coveys seen per hour was 3.9 (SE = 0.265) with a range of 2.7 - 6.5 (CV = 0.28). Following the implementation of MQM techniques this average during 1997-2005 increased to 7.7 (SE = 0.317) with a range of 6.9-9.7 (CV = 0.12) and population density has been maintained at or near 5 birds per ha. This manuscript provides a brief history of the Albany Quail Project, describes how results from these studies have contributed to the evolution of new management philosophies over the last decade, outlines what these changes have been, and describes how they have been successfully applied on numerous properties in the Albany area to improve bobwhite populations and hunting success.

Criteria for the Formation and Dynamics of Sport Land through Urban Non-Place (with a Focus on the Experiences of Mashhad)

Open, arid, unbuilt spaces by roadside, in neighborhoods and urban areas are of hidden urban areas that despite numerous potential, they are left unused. Due to lack of proper public sport places in the cities, by changing into open sports ground, these spaces can be a good opportunity to improve the quality of life, organization of urban spaces, neighborhood orientation, and development of public services and welfare. Although transforming the urban non-spaces into spaces to dynamic sports spaces has happened in some cities based on article 110 of the Municipal Act, the neglect of social and economic structure of consumer groups, non-functional hierarchy of sports grounds, lack of attention to the texture and the absence of clear standards and criteria to choose the kind of exercise in proportion to the size and orientation of user groups have reducing the productivity of the land. The aim of this study is to identify criteria to categorize temporary outdoor sports grounds and classify them according to the criteria extracted. The method of study is based on field research methods and techniques of hierarchical analysis, fuzzy logic models and integrating layers. The results of this research is to develop different standards in terms of social, economic, physical, environmental and management issues about grouping these lands to increase productivity and efficiency. The criteria are determined in terms of location analysis, evaluation and grouping of land. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n4S1p65

The Effectiveness of Saskatoon's Bicycle Boulevard

Saskatoon, like many cities, is attempting to diversify the transportation options available to its citizens and take advantage of the benefits that urban cycling provides through an increased investment in bicycle infrastructure. The recent development of a bicycle boulevard, a street that gives priority to cyclists over motor traffic, is an example of Saskatoon’s shift. This study examines the effectiveness of Saskatoon’s bicycle boulevard by taking an inventory of bicycle infrastructure on this route, measuring demographic information of boulevard users, performing traffic counts, and conducting intercept surveys of boulevard users. This data was analyzed through the lens of National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) boulevard design standards. The data gathered from these methods indicates that Saskatoon’s boulevard is successful in some areas and needing improvement in others. While the boulevard appears to be successfully address design considerations relating to signage/pavement markings, route planning, and traffic speeds, the City has been less successful in managing traffic volumes and dealing with areas where cyclists must compete with motorists for road space. This study recommends that Saskatoon install motorist volume control measures at key areas of perceived danger throughout the boulevard to increase its effectiveness. Repaving the street and tackling perceptions of crime in the area were additional recommendations based on the findings of this study. AcknowledgementsThis project owes could not have happened without the guidance of Dr. Jill Gunn in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Saskatchewan. Her knowledge of field research techniques formed the basis of this report. Special thanks must also be extended to Sean Shaw of Saskatoon Cycles for introducing the author to the study site.

Недостоверность ответов респондентов в вопросах о доходах

The article analyses the problem of respondents answers’ veracity on the basis of empirical data. The sociological research on retirees over the age of 80 proves that there is lack of coincidence between the income records based on the survey data and the factual payments made by the Department of Social Protection. The article contains the description of a sampling procedure, a field research technique and a data acquisition tool. Nonresponses to income questions were analyzed. The difference between factual and declared amounts of retirees’ incomes was revealed; its distribution pattern was statistically estimated. The article concludes by stating that the difference between factual and declared income data is not as large as it is thought by some researchers, at least for the retirees.
