May 4 to May 7, 2007 1 ABSTRACT As reported extensively in academic literature, companies have been forced by increasing global competition to devise and pursue international purchasing strategies that hinge on reducing prices and optimising quality, fulfilment, production cycle times, responsiveness and financial conditions. As a result, purchase management has turned to improve internationalisation to support companies’ globalisation processes. Specifically, research studies focusing on Multinational Companies’ (MNC) corporate purchasing strategy influence on affiliates’ global supply strategy (GSS) development reveal a strong link between two key dimensions: a) supply source –i.e., the level of supply globalisation as related to MNC’s worldwide operating needs - and b) purchase location –i.e., the level of centralisation in relevant purchasing decisions. In this research, a sample of seven Italian MNCs operating in Latin America’s MERCOSUR (Southern Common Market) region have been studied in an attempt to analyse their purchasing strategy definition and development processes.

The Localism Movement: Shared and Emergent Values Nancy B. Kurland Sara Jane McCaffrey Douglas H. Hill Franklin & Marshall College Franklin & Marshall College Franklin & Marshall College [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Localism, a movement to encourage consumers and businesses to purchase from locally owned, independent businesses rather than national corporations, has grown rapidly in the past decade. With several national, federated organizations and popular “buy local” campaigns, the localism movement has the potential to affect buying patterns, marketing, and distribution in American business. Yet localism remains understudied by researchers. This article, based on data from 38 interviews with localism leaders, identifies four of the movement’s priorities: independent ownership, local buying, local sourcing, and pragmatic partnering.

  • Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Land Acknowledgment for the City of San Jose and Surrounding Region Thámien Ancestral Muwekma Ohlone Territory
    Mákkin Mak Muwékma Wolwóolum, ’Akkoyt Mak-Warep, Manne Mak Hiswi! We Are Muwekma Ohlone, Welcome To Our Ancestral Homeland! Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Land Acknowledgment For The City of San Jose and Surrounding Region Thámien Ancestral Muwekma Ohlone Territory We would like to recognize that while we gather at the Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley located in the City of San Jose, we are gathered on the ethno-historic tribal territory of the Thámien Ohlone- speaking tribal groups, which included the lands of the Paleños - whose tribal region was named after their powerful chief Capitan Pala, and the two Mexican land grants located in the East Hills above San Jose - and who were intermarried with the direct ancestors of some of the lineages enrolled in the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, whom were missionized into Missions Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco. The present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, with an enrolled Bureau of Indian Affairs documented membership of over 600 members, is comprised of all of the known surviving Indian lineages aboriginal to the San Francisco Bay region who trace the Tribe’s ancestry through the Missions Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco, during the advent of the Hispano-European empire into Alta California beginning in AD 1769. The Muwekma families are the successors and living members of the sovereign, historic, previously Federally Recognized Verona Band of Alameda County, now formally recognized as the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of San Francisco Bay Area. Muwekma means La Gente – The People in our traditional Chochenyo-Ohlone language.
