Workplace chaplains: filling a need traditional EAPs can't meet

More organizations are finding secular counseling provided by employee assistance programs (EAPs) is inadequate for many employees.

A Multisectoral Econometric Model with Markets for Commodities and Financial Assets

The paper illustrates a multisector econometric model for the Federal Republic of Germany. A new model concept has been realized in two respects. First the model combines a disaggregated real system with a disaggregated monetary system. Second, both systems are disaggregated functionally (commodities) and institutionally (industries). This demands a specific theoretical structure and an appropriate database.; First a synopsis of the theoretical structure of the model is given. Afterwards an ex post solution of the model is discussed, which shows that the system works. Finally a simulation examines which effects a fall of the dollar has on the structure and the level of production and employment in the Federal Republic of Germany.     

Trends in the development of information technology and their effects on the production structure in Europe

In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to build a scenario of how technology can have an impact on the Production structure i n Europe, and how these changes will effect the international division of labour. The authors start from the premise that the applications of new product and process technologies are leading to stepwise changes in production structures. They borrow from economic and managerial theories, present a number of scenarios for two types of technologies (biotechnology and information technology). From these scenarios some implications are proposed.     

Guidelines for Corporate Trademark Licensing

Licensing a trademark in many firms, if it occurs at all, is an incidental ad hoc arrangement. An unorganized approach can mean trouble. It can also mean the firm is losing an opportunity to exploit fully a valuable asset. Tom Meyer, Cathie Tinney, and Terry Tinney argue that trademark licensing is deserving of careful attention and planning.
