Aerospace management techniques: Commercial and governmental applications
A guidebook for managers and administrators is presented as a source of useful information on new management methods in business, industry, and government. The major topics discussed include: actual and potential applications of aerospace management techniques to commercial and governmental organizations; aerospace management techniques and their use within the aerospace sector; and the aerospace sector's application of innovative management techniques
Management Contributions of Space Technology; An Analytical Report
The Denver Research Institute (DRI) currently is engaged in a major research-onresearch effort to improve understanding of the technology transfer process, transfer barriers, and methodology successful in promoting transfer. The research is sponsored by NASA. All aspects of technology are under study, including the broadly applicable area of management . The paper describes and analyzes several recent cases of transfer of space-related management technology found during this research program, as well as certain cases from the literature.
The transferred management techniques are widely diverse in subject matter. To aid analysis and understanding, they have been subdivided into four subject categories: conceptual contributions; planning contributions; administrative methods; and evaluation methods. The paper evaluates the progress made to date in transferring aerospace management techniques, and discusses the prospects for future transfer
Individual Transferable Fishing Quotas And Antitrust Law
Around the world, the allocation of individual rights in the fisheries has proved to be a successful fisheries management tool. To date, the Individual Transferable Quota [ITQ] approach has been adopted for only a few fisheries in the U.S., although there is strong support for extending the approach to others. The basic goal of the ITQ approach is to create well-defined, exclusive property rights in a fishery, giving holders of those rights the incentive to fish efficiently and manage the resource for long-term sustainable yield. The property rights allocated are often percentage shares of the total annual allowable harvest or quota for the particular fishery. The transferability of these shares is key to the ITQ approach-being marketable, the shares will come to be owned by those who will most efficiently utilize them. Analysis of the ITQ approach, however, gives rise to the question of whether ITQ programs will have effects resulting in violations of U.S. antitrust law. The Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act all serve to protect consumers from anticompetitive activity. Once shares in a fishery are placed on the market, will trading result in single-owner accumulation of shares approaching monopoly in violation of these statutes? Will impermissible domination of competition and pricing result from concentrations of shares in the hands of a few? This Article examines the legal implications of ITQs with regard to antitrust law. It begins by identifying the benefits of the ITQ approach and considering the potential anticompetitive effects of an ITQ system. It then discusses the legal requirements for finding of monopoly, illegal price restraints and other impermissible restraints on competition. The Article concludes that ITQ systems can be designed to avert the possibility of excessive accumulation of shares in the hands of a few, and that such ITQ systems are unlikely to have effects that will result in antitrust violations

Letter from J. Milliken to James B. Finley
Milliken responds to a letter from Finley regarding a young inmate at the prison. He tells Finley that the young man (not named) will not be prosecuted when he returns to Paducah. Finley can tell the young man that he need not be uneasy about it. Abstract Number - 1050https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/2034/thumbnail.jp
George Eliot Highgate Cemetery
LARGE woman soul, sure of unfading bays,
It little boots o\u27er thy too early tomb
To puff our little breaths of passing praise -
Dead in the deepest of Midwinter\u27s gloom,
Ere thine own Autumn\u27s mellow fruitage failed!
We mourn a Larger Light, eclipsed too soon
By the all-darkening Shadow; we who hailed
Its rise, its rounding to the plenilune
Of finished force and chastened grace, lament
The passing of a Power.Thou perchance
Bearest it all unstained, as still unspent,
To spheres unclogged by earthy circumstance.
So be it! Not among the tricksy mimes
Who glitter out a glowworm\u27s hour and fade,
Fame sets this large-orbed glory of our times,
Who, whilst good store of lesser lights are laid
In our King\u27s Sepulchre, makes royal ground
Of that green Northern Graveyard\u27s simplest Mound
Letter from J.F. Milliken to Adjutant General John L. Hodsdon, August 19, 1861
