  • Toyota's Willing Stooges: the Trend of Narcissism in Us
    New York Journal of Sociology, 2008, Vol. 1, pp. 92-117 NY JS TOYOTA’S WILLING STOOGES: THE TREND OF NARCISSISM IN US SOCIETY * George Lundskow Grand Valley State University This paper explores the exaltation that Toyota buyers grant the corporation, beyond simply commitment to their cars as desirable product. Although once superior in reliability, mile- age, and other measurable factors in the 1980s, American and European manufacturers have matched or exceeded Toyota in these areas. Toyota devotees still declare these areas as important, but Toyota’s following also includes a type of devotion beyond measurable quality and mileage issues. As a company, Toyota enjoys a type of uncritical acceptance that it exploits with marketing techniques that cross into the realm of propaganda. The pa- per identifies these techniques, but also argues that such techniques only succeed among a willingly submissive and willfully uncritical, i.e. emotionally devoted following premised on narcissistic insecurity and indulgence. The paper finishes with broader conclusions about contemporary American culture, specifically the search for stability and meaning. In this way, Toyota serves as only one example of a larger trend in US society. * Direct all correspondence to George Lundskow, Department of Sociology, 2170 AuSable Hall, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401 or via e-mail: [email protected] © 2008 George Lundskow. Lundskow 93 Today, Toyota enjoys a stellar reputation for quality and reliability, as well as for leading the auto industry, and society in general, towards an envi- ronmentally ‘green’ future. Far beyond the supposedly unscrupulous greed of the Detroit Three—GM, Ford, and Chrysler—Toyota voluntarily sacrifices profit for consumer satisfaction and the environment.

  • Logistics and Supply Chain
    Manawatu Region Sector Profiles 2010: Logistics and Supply Chain Providing you with a better understanding of the different components of the Manawatu Region economy and the contribution each sector makes to the demographic and economic growth of the region. Images below are courtesy of KiwiRail and NZ Post The sector profiles for the Manawatu have been developed by the Palmerston North City Council to provide a better understanding of the different components of the Manawatu economy and the contribution each sector makes to the demographic and economic growth of the region. Even within the broad industrial sectors of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) 2006 there can be a diverse range of activities undertaken and it is useful to understand which sectors are growing and are likely to grow in the future and their overall contribution to jobs and incomes in the region. The profiles are drawn primarily from Statistics New Zealand data. Background material on the logistics sectors was drawn from the book The Handbook of Logistics and Distribution Management (3rd edition) by Alan Rushton, Phil Croucher and Peter Baker. Valuable advice was also given by Walter Glass, Corporate Logistics 2010 Ltd.

  • Case Study 1: OTI Issue
    Case study 1: OTI issue Product description Previous price Current price International student fees – $14 300 $15 800 Bachelor of Business at AUT This item is priced from a publication “Study in New Zealand” which is published annually by Education New Zealand. In the 2003 publication there is no Bachelor of Business degree but there is a Bachelor of Commerce degree. The Bachelor of Business degree was a 4 year full time course in the previous year’s publication, whereas the Bachelor of Commerce degree is a 3 year full time course in the 2003 publication. No mention was made of any changes to the content of the course. This component feeds into the OTI services index. HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THIS? ANSWER TO CASE STUDY 1: The respondent phoned me back and explained that the course itself and what the student gets out of it is not different but the content was downsized a bit to bring it in line with other universities. The credits were lowered to make the course a three year course. He also advised that the students do commercial law, business economics and e-business in addition to the subjects I mentioned. He doesn't think we should be making any adjustment on the content but should account for the period because in effect the student now pays $15 800 p.a. over three years ($47 400) instead of $14 300 p.a. over four years ($57 200). (Assuming the price don't change again). Solution: So this quarter we should show the saving over the total period of $10 200 which equates to a fall of 17.13% ((47300/57200)-1*100).

The Round was the first for the tender of motor vehicles, parts and accessories. Licences to a total value of $56. 7 million were tendered. These were made up of $49.2 million for motor vehicles on a global basis; $3.0 million for parts and accessories; $4.5 million for motor vehicles of Australian origin. Results of the tenders were notified to individual bidders in letters posted on 24 February; invoices were despatched on 12 March and · are therefore payable by 11 September 1985; the import licences are valid from 12 March 1985 to 11 March 1986. A 5-day period was allowed between the notification of individual results and their confirmation. During that time some bidders notified the Registrar that incorrect bids had been made and where these explanations were accepted adjustments were made to the results. The results published here are therefore as amended. Licences for motor vehicles from global and Australia sources will be tendered again probably in July 1985. Omnibuses and vehicles of Australian origin, all the parts and accessories will not be tendered again until January 1986. Residual Licence THE amendments referred to above have resulted in some residual licence being available in tender No.
