Profits and Principles: Global Capitalism and Human Rights in China

Michael A. Santoro


  Profits and Principles: Global Capitalism and Human Rights in China  Michael A. Santoro  After the Tiananmen Square massacre, a vigorous international debate erupted, not only about human rights in China, but also about the role of multinational firms. Should corporations do business in China at all? Should corporations take a stand on such issues? Revelations about serious and pervasive human rights violations in Chinese factories raised even more questions about the clash of profits and principles in China. Michael Santoro investigates these and other dilemmas, exploring the democraticvalues firms impart to their employees and the values firms often compromise in pursuit of profits. His interviews with foreign business executives, Chinese employees of foreign firms, human rights advocates, and foreign consular officials provide a range of perspectives. His examination of business responsibility for human rights in China also serves as a unique framework for assessing the broader social trends--both positive and negative--arising from globalization.

So why do the vast majority of quality improvement efforts fail?William Roth knows from experience: as a Ph.D in systems theory, an ex-corporate manager, a professor-and the designer (with the AQP) of a national program to deliver training for quality credentials in the systems approach. His belief: enduring quality improvement is an "all or nothing" situation-requiring a systemic approach, with all the key components and integrations in place andfully integrated right from the start. Quality Improvement: A Systems Perspective explains the sometimes surprising historic roots of the quality improvement movement, and outlines the systems theory on which successful models must be built. Readers thengain access to the hands-on, nuts-and-bolts, how-to-get-it-done details of the five critical phases. Three case studies (two in industry, one in health care) support this traditional but currently shunned model.Along with his unique......

Service Provision - Technologies for Next Generation Communications (Wiley Series on Communications Networking & Distributed Systems)

Kenneth J. Turner, Evan H. Magill, David J. Marples


  Service Provision - Technologies for Next Generation Communications (Wiley Series on Communications Networking & Distributed Systems)  Kenneth J. Turner, Evan H. Magill, David J. Marples  This book provides the first overview of the service technologies available to telecoms operators working in a post-convergence world. Previous books have focused either on computer networks or on telecoms networks. This is the first to bring the two together and provide a single reference source for information that is currently only to be found in disparate journals, tool specifications and standards documents. In order to provide such broad coverage of the topic in a structured and logical fashion, the book is divided into 3 parts. The first part looks at the underlying network support for services and aims to explain the technology that makes the user-visible services possible. This section covers multimedia networking, both traditional (legacy) and future (softswitch) call processing, intelligent networks, the Internet, and Wireless networks. Part 2 deals with how these services may be analysed and managed. Chapters cover topics such as commercial issues, service...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин This book provides the first overview of the service technologies available to telecoms operators working in a post-convergence world.
