Item Metadata only Ledger accounts using packages - the experience of the accounting degree at Leeds Polytechnic(Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, 1990) Margerison, JohnItem Metadata only Poetry and Politics: The Spanish Civil War Poetry of César Vallejo(Routledge, 1992-04) Lambie, GeorgeItem Metadata only Out of sight, out of mind: the limitations of traditional information systems planning.(MCB University Press, 1995) Swartz, E.; Elliott, D.; Herbane, B.Item Metadata only Item Metadata only Applied artificial intelligence for teaching numeric topics in engineering disciplines(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1996) Patel, Ashok; KinshukThis paper presents a model of Computer Integrated Learning Environments (CILE) as adopted by TLTP Byzantium and the role of an Intelligent Tutoring Tool (ITT) within this model. It reviews the implementation of artificial intelligence, discussing the methodology used in storing the knowledge rules and their application by the inference engine. An ITT is a fine grain tutoring tool that provides for learning as well as assessing the conceptual knowledge with the help of a student model, a remote expert model and a local expert model. The dominant consideration in the design of an ITT is to keep the feedback short and simple and to drop to a finer grain size, through a suitable interface, wherever necessary. Other aspects of the ITT design are also discussed and some of the main features and weaknesses are identified.Item Metadata only Auditor licensing in the European Union: a comparative study based on cultural differences(European Accounting Association, 1996) Margerison, John; Moizer, P.Item Metadata only The Financial Times marketing casebook.(1997) Wright, Sheila;Item Metadata only Contingency and continua: achieving excellence through business continuity planning.(Jai Press Inc., 1997) Herbane, B.; Elliott, D.; Swartz, E.Item Metadata only Criminal justice policy and practice : the rural dimension.(1997) Dingwall, GavinItem Metadata only Mature SMEs and technological innovation: entrepreneurial networks in the United Kingdom and Portugal(Imperial College Press, 1997) Jones, Oswald; Cardoso, C.

J.Item Metadata only Poor understanding of marketing principles has led to poor marketing management performance: Consideration of four marketing myths.(Leicester Business School, 1997) Pickton, David W.; Wright, SheilaMarketing is accused of poor management practice. This paper argues that this is grounded in a confusion of marketing thinking and marketing action which results from widely held beliefs and myths that surround the marketing management process, making it difficult for marketing to develop as a coherent management discipline and profession. Barriers to its successful implementation are created at both strategic and tactical levels. The paper presents an exploration of four myths which are often perceived as lying at the core of marketing but which, in reality, have led to much of the confusion that surrounds it. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to generate debate concerning these myths. The myths considered are those concerning customer sovereignty, the 4Ps of the marketing mix, the importance of customer orientation, and marketing managers' ability and opportunity to actually manage the marketing function.Item Metadata only The Court of Appeal and "guideline" judgments.(Queens University Belfast School of Law, 1997) Dingwall, GavinItem Metadata only What's SWOT in strategic analysis?(John Wiley, 1998) Pickton, David W.; Wright, SheilaEnvironmental analysis is a critical part of the strategic management planning process. The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) framework is proposed by many as an analytical tool which should be used to categorise significant environmental factors both internal and external to the organisation. If used simplistically, the SWOT framework is a ‘naive’ tool which may lead to strategic errors. SWOT can easily be viewed as a static analytical tool with emphasis solely on its output when the converse is true. SWOT should be a dynamic part of the management and business development process. Adoption of the approach proposed here with emphasis on process values as well as output is strongly recommended.Item Metadata only The Home Office, the Prison Service and the recalculation of release dates for multiple offenders.(Queens University Belfast School of Law, 1998) Dingwall, GavinItem Open Access Swimming with the tide? Britain and the Maastricht Treaty negotiations on Common Foreign and Security Policy(Taylor and Francis, 1998) Blair, AlasdairDespite the importance of the Treaty on European Union, little attention has been paid to the manner in which the negotiations were conducted or to an analysis of particular topics. This article addresses one particular aspect by focusing on Britain’s participation in the Common Foreign and Security Policy negotiations. It emphasises that, notwithstanding London being portrayed as an ‘awkward’ member of the European Union, it was neither awkward nor isolated in the course of the CFSP negotiations. Moreover, Britain eventually accepted a formula which went further than its pre-negotiating position. An important influence on this outcome was the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s stranglehold on the dossier. Conservative MPs were also generally more concerned about symbolic issues, including Economic and Monetary Union, the Social Chapter and the proposed federal goal. Greater freedom was therefore possible for negotiators within the area of CFSP, where Britain formed an effective alliance with other Member States, most notably Italy.Item Metadata only The councillor: representing a locality and the party group.(University of Birmingham., 1998) Copus, ColinItem Metadata only Small business management – business planning(Thomson Learning, 1998) Margerison, JohnItem Open Access UK policy co-ordination during the 1990-91 Intergovernmental Conference(Diplomacy and Statecraft, 1998) Blair, AlasdairDespite the importance of European Union negotiations, the majority of scholarly attention has not been directed towards the means by which policy is co-ordinated in Member States. This article addresses one aspect of this gap by focusing upon the structures which existed for UK policy-making during the 1990-91 IGC negotiations. Particular emphasis is attached to the key role of officials, who often proved crucial to the extraction of compromises at the European level, and the manner by which policy was constrained by the inability of the Prime Minister to dominate Cabinet.Item Metadata only Selective incapacitation after the Criminal Justice Act 1991: A proportional response to protecting the public?(Blackwell Publishers, 1998-05) Dingwall, GavinItem Metadata only Local party groups.(Philip Allan, 1998-11) Copus, Colin
