Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag wird der finnische Tangotanztourismus unter Berücksichtigung des Konzeptes des verkörperten Raumes (Low 2003) und des Raumverständnisses von Lefebvre (1991) auf den vielschichtig miteinander verbundenen Ebenen von Körper, Kultur und Raum analysiert. Die...

This paper focuses on the importance of chemical patents as an information source. After an outline of this importance, the discussion concentrates principally on the area of structural information, highlighting some of the special characteristics that are found in the generic (Markush) type of...

Purpose Despite the fact that business model innovation (BMI) has attracted intense attention from scholars and practitioners alike, practicable knowledge on the organizational implementation of BMI efforts in large multinational corporations is rather rare. This paper aims to investigate how...

Japan’s chemical industry is currently amidst mega‐competition in the paradigm shift from an industrial society to an information society that emerged in the 1990s and consequent globalizing economy. The checkered development trajectory of Japan’s chemical industry has resulted in a...

Evidence suggests that the recent interest in competitive strategy and competitive positioning, while good in itself, has resulted in the management of many firms placing too much emphasis on competitive performance and too little emphasis on customer expectations. This research in the chemical...

Considerable emphasis is put on service to customers of Engineering Polymers (Du Pont) making rising logistics increasingly important. The current supply chain serving customers in the UK and Eire was developed when service was considered less important. Analysis of this supply chain revealed...

The implementation and use of statistical process control in a chemicals and plastics firm are examined. The essential external factors are focused upon, which are associated with the practical implementation of statistical process control. The important components of a Statistical Process...

How to describe, reliably and effectively, the quality of a continuous stream is a problem facing many companies in the chemical industry. The average quality estimated from an average of individual test sample values is most useful if its distribution is known or can be estimated. A simple...

There is a growing need for safety analysis of chemical processes. Risk analysis techniques capable of evaluating dangerous transient conditions together with the reliability of the protective systems need to be devised. Analyses a flash separator used for the raw separation of a naphtha stream...

Safety analysis of hazardous processes requires the use of models to simulate dangerous transient conditions and to assess the availability of the relevant mitigating and protective systems. As this article shows, these two needs can be fairly well satisfied by the application of DYLAM, which is...
