Requests come from both domestic ancl foreign shipbuilders and related companies, organizations, and individuals. Numerous inquiries for research information are handled each year over the phone and by e-mail. Appendix B is a list of the groups and individuals that have requested Documentation Center materials during this contract period. Because of its past and present support of the shipbuilding and repair industries, the Documentation Center is viewed by many domestic shipbuilders as being a vital element of the U.S. shipbuilding infrastructure. Also, at least one foreign shipbuilder has credited the NSRDC as playing a key role in its country's successful efforts to become competitive in the world shipbuilding market. The NSRDC was created in the mid-1980s to house research reports, technical papers, symposia proceedings, and audiovisual materials related to shipbuilding technology and methodology. In 1989, The University of Michigan contracted with Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (Contract #N00167-89- 0065) to fund the library under the auspices of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP). In support of the NSRP, the Documentation Center has, in addition to operating the libraries, been responsible for developing and managing the technical program of the annual NSRP Ship Production Symposia since 1987 (except for 1989 and 1996), providing editorial support to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) for the Journal of Ship Production, and writing, desktop publishing, and distributing a newsletter on NSRP research and activities. National Shipbuilding Research and Documentation Center Page 2 Outside of the scope of Documentation Center contracts, NSRDC staff members have also developed and taught several NSRP short courses and workshops on subjects including accuracy control, standards and metrification, ship design for production, and quality function deployment/concunent product development. Because of their combined knowledge of shipbuilding processes, methods, facilities, and related technologies, NSRDC staff members have also been employed in research and analysis of naval and commercial ship-acquisition- and-construction programs. NSRDC staff members have provided technical support for two phases of the mid-term sealift ship research program, in which a simulated shipyard was defined and used as a point of reference for NAVSEA and the participating domestic private yards regarding production engineering, construction schedules, and the effects of process and technology improvement. 11. WORK ACCOMPLISHED Following is a detailed statement of work for each task identified as part of the overall NSRDC scope of work. 1. Technology Transfer. UMTRI-MSD has staffed, managed, and operated a program of technology transfer for the benefit of the shipbuilding and ship repair community, and promoted the understanding and acceptance of productivity-enhancing technologies and methods throughout the industry. This activity included the identification and acquisition of information relevant to the shipbuilding and repair industries. Sources of this information included, but were not limited to, ARPA MARITECH, NSRP, SNAME, NAVSEA, Navy Mantech research programs and Centers of Excellence, NIST, MarAd, and foreign shipbuilders and research organizations. This was done through literature searches and through attendance of Documentation Center personnel, within the given budget limitations, at selected symposia, seminars, education and training programs, NSRP Panel meetings, and MARITECH program activities that were considered relevant to industry competitiveness. All important shipbuilding-related information obtained was made available to the shipbuilding community through the Documentation Center's libraries and newsletter. A list of all travel associated with the transfer of technology during this contract period is located in appendix A. 2. Publications Library. UMTRI-MSD is the central repository for all research publications of interest to the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industries, including research reports that have been acquired through the technology- transfer task described above. UMTRI-MSD has responded to industry requests for paper and microfiche copies of these publications. At the present time there are over 450 documents in the library, several of which are symposia proceedings that contain hundreds of technical papers. Surplus copies of National Shipbuilding Research and Documentation Center Page 3 documents have been distributed upon request free of charge to shipyards and others in the marine industry; documents requiring duplication from masters have been distributed upon request for nominal duplication and shipping charges. To make the Publications Library information more accessible and up-to-date for users in the shipbuilding industry, the library's index was put into an electronic database for distribution on floppy disk. Complete bibliographic information for all publications was entered into a database. Each distributed disk copy included a software engine that allowed users to easily the database without having to purchase their own software. Title, author, publication date, keywords, document ordering number, and a complete abstract was entered for each document, and all fields are searchable. Copies of the database were made available on floppy disk for computers running Windows@ and Macintosh@operating systems. 3. Audio Visual

  • The Case of GEC/Marconi
    The Effect of Corporate Restructuring on the Shareholders’ Value: The Case of GEC/Marconi Magdy Abdel-Kader1* and Vagia Mentzeniot2 1 Brunel Business School. Brunel University. Uxbridge. Middlesex UB8 3PH. UK * Corresponding author: Tel: +44 (0)1895 266739. Fax: +44 (0)1895 269775. Email: [email protected] 2 Finance Division, Piraeus Bank Group, Headquarters, Stadiou & Amerikis 4, Athens, 10557, Greece Abstract GEC/Marconi’s transformation from a diversified conglomerate to a focused telecommunications and information technology company was an eventful and rambling transmission that resulted in the deterioration of shareholders’ value. It represents one of the most dramatic falls from grace in British corporate history and one of the greatest corporate governance fiascos of all time. The study investigates the wealth effects of Marconi’s sell-offs and acquisitions on its shareholders’ value by calculating the abnormal returns on the announcement days of all the disposals/acquisition during 1996-2002. The results support the view that shareholders’ value increases when a company proceeds to corporate sell-offs to pursue a focus strategy. However, the authors conjecture that GEC/Marconi has destroyed shareholders’ value through these disposals/acquisitions because of several mistakes, such as being prone to heavy debt. © 2007 World Research Organization.

Contents Chapter I Page ! Bankruptcy and 'Inefficiency' 9 l Chapter I1 1 Effects of the Bankruptcy Chapter 111 'Efficiency' and the shipbuilding Industry 61 Chapter IV Workers' Control versus Market Rationality Introduction In attempting to measure the likely consequences of the run down of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders detailed assessmentslhave been made of the social costs and benefits whicfi do not enter into the cal- culations of a private company (external economies and diseconomies, employment and other welfare considerations), and which should be taken into account when considering the actions of any private concern from a social point of view. Yet apart from these external factars, does the fact that UCS went bankrupt reflect the fact that it was ineffi- cient within its own private terms? The traditional view is that any individual capita- list in pursuing his own good is also pursuing the good of society.

Ici, l’auteur étudie l’impact de la British Ship Research Association, de la Parsons Marine Turbine Research and Development Association et, de façon tangentielle, d’un groupe de conseil en recherche privé, le Yarrow Admiralty Research Department (Y-ARD), une filiale de Yarrow Shipbuilders établie dans le district Scotstoun de la rivière Upper Clyde, et le National Physical Laboratory (NPL). Il traite également de William Doxford & Sons, avant d’évaluer l’impact individuel et collectif de ces sociétés jusqu’en 1959, ainsi que la situation générale de la construction navale britannique et la fabrication de gros moteurs maritimes. This article follows on directly from Part 1 covering the period 1900-1944, published in the last issue. Here I examine the impact of the British Ship Research Association (BSRA) and Parsons Marine Turbine Research and Development Association (PAMETRADA). Tangentially I review one private research consultancy cluster, the Yarrow Admiralty Research Department (YARD) an offshoot of Yarrow Shipbuilders, Scotstoun, on the Upper Clyde, and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). I also consider Wm Doxford & Sons, before assessing their individual and collective impact up to 1959, and the general situation in British shipbuilding and large marine engine manufacture.
