Evaluation of Industrial Policy: The Case of the Swedish Textile and Clothing Industry
- 1994
-
Ingår i: Small Business Economics. - 1573-0913 .- 0921-898X. ; 6:6, s. 465-475

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper evaluates the Swedish industrial policy for the textile and clothing industry and provides an interview-based method for assessing the rational for and the effects of state intervention. The rational for government intervention was analyzed based on the existence of possible sources of market failure, such as the function of the capital market; high risk aversion in firms; shortcomings in available information or in business/entrepreneurial competence; and finally, also positive external effects such as demonstration effects were considered. It was found that the Swedish industrial policy, in the period 1970-1990, was general and defensive in character. In the majority of firms interviewed, government policy had either no effect at all on firm behaviour or where effects were found there were no underlying market imperfections. Only in a minority of firms was it found that the policy alleviated market imperfections and changed firms' investment behaviour in a way which was judged to be beneficial for the firms' competitiveness. Therefore, the Swedish industrial policy for the textile and clothing industry was associated with very substantial inefficiencies in the use of sizeable resources.

The New Paradigm for Industrial Practices - Total Quality Management
- 1994
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Various concepts have been used to describe the new paradigm for industrial practices that has evolved in the 1990s. A Japanese version has been called TQC (total quality control),CWQC (company wide quality control) or Toyota management system. This approach was later transferred to the West and described by concepts such as "lean production", "innovation-mediated production" or, maybe the most commonly used term, TQM (totalquality management).TQM consists essentially of systematic management principles that make the best use of all resources. The key in the new paradigm is that the potentials of all employees should be used to achieve demanding goals, set by a committed top leadership, and built on customerrequirements. These demanding goals, in turn, require changes in organizational and reward principles.The model of TQM presented in this paper has been derived from a review of literature, definitions used by the quality awards, and by empirical data from a number of companies in the USA, Europe and Japan (ABB, Motorola, Pitney Bowes, Rank Xerox, Toyota and Xerox).The aim has been to integrate the common aspects from literature and what is present in the front line companies in 1994.The model that was created was developed through the use of an affinity diagram. Six categories were found: Customer focus, Leadership, Total approach, Continuous learning, Process orientation and Standardization for creativity.

Lateral cutting force during machining of wood due to momentary disturbances in the wood structure and degree of wear of the cutting tool
- 1994
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Wood and Wood Products. - 0018-3768 .- 1436-736X. ; 52:3, s. 198-204
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper presents a study of the effect of momentary disturbances due to variations in wood structure on the lateral cutting force. Density, shape and fibre-direction of the disturbances, and the degree of wear of the cutting tool are taken into consideration. The paper shows that high density gradients result in high lateral forces. The highest momentary lateral force noted has a value of approximately 40 N. The geometrical shape of the cutting tool in terms of degree of wear has a big impact on the lateral force. The work indicates a potential to increase the cutting performance by a more accurate supervision of the condition of the cutting tools.
