Erik Kopač INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo Ljubljana 2007 INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo obravnava spremembe v evropski obrambni industriji vse od konca 2. svetovne vojne. Na začetku predstavi proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v času hladne vojne v treh časovnih obdobjih. Sledi predstavitev trendov povezovanja obrambne industrije po koncu hladne vojne, podkrepljenih z vzroki, ki spodbujajo in zavirajo proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v Evropi. Omenjeni proces, voden s strani obrambnih podjetij, je prikazan s pomočjo koncentracije, privatizacije in internacionalizacije obrambne industrije. Obravnava tudi liberalističen in merkantilističen pristop k integraciji obrambne industrije na primeru Velike Britanije in Francije. Proces institucionalne integracije obrambne industrije, ki predstavlja poskus meddržavnega povezovanja obrambne industrije, prikaže v študiji primerov najpomembnejših institucij na tem področju. V zadnjem poglavju s predstavitvijo slovenske obrambne industrije v obdobju po osamosvojitvi leta 1991 umesti obrambno industrijo v Sloveniji v evropsko dogajanje na tem področju ter nakaže možnosti za njen nadaljnji razvoj.

Trends in Space Commerce
Foreword from the Secretary of Commerce As the United States seeks opportunities to expand our economy, commercial use of space resources continues to increase in importance. The use of space as a platform for increasing the benefits of our technological evolution continues to increase in a way that profoundly affects us all. Whether we use these resources to synchronize communications networks, to improve agriculture through precision farming assisted by imagery and positioning data from satellites, or to receive entertainment from direct-to-home satellite transmissions, commercial space is an increasingly large and important part of our economy and our information infrastructure. Once dominated by government investment, commercial interests play an increasing role in the space industry. As the voice of industry within the U.S. Government, the Department of Commerce plays a critical role in commercial space. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Commerce licenses the operation of commercial remote sensing satellites. Through the International Trade Administration, the Department of Commerce seeks to improve U.S. industrial exports in the global space market. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Commerce assists in the coordination of the radio spectrum used by satellites. And, through the Technology Administration's Office of Space Commercialization, the Department of Commerce plays a central role in the management of the Global Positioning System and advocates the views of industry within U.S. Government policy making processes. I am pleased to commend for your review the Office of Space Commercialization's most recent publication, Trends in Space Commerce. The report presents a snapshot of U.S.

Pakistan Aviation Management By
1 Ph.D. Thesis COST EFFECTIVE LOW COST CARRIER (LCC) PAKISTAN AVIATION MANAGEMENT BY UNIFIED AIRCRAFT POLICY Dewan Abdullah Farooqui Department of Business Administration, Research Scholar, Greenwich University Karachi Contact: [email protected] Mobile: +92300-8225651 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Hiro Takahashi at Greenwich University 2 Abstract The study conducted for this thesis analyzes the aviation industry from the global perspective in general and from the Pakistan perspective in particular. The initial part of the research comprises of the in-depth study and the historical analysis of the global aviation scenario i.e. how the aviation industry has become a major and fastest source of transportation globally since the inception of regular air services in the earlier 20th century till to-date. Later part of this research focuses on the cost effective Low Cost Carrier (LCC) aviation model in Pakistan. To achieve the cost saving management, unified aircraft operation policy was proposed. To select right aircraft for Pakistan’s domestic and regional markets, multiple evaluation factors were considered for better matching of physical requirements. The unified aircraft fleet is a biggest factor to reduce the total operating cost. Moreover, the research on cost effective management by employing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) LCC based aviation business in Pakistan was also undertaken. An elaborated analysis of the operations and functioning of ERP in LCCs’ different business divisions with real-life analysis was conducted. It was concluded that ERP modified for unified aircraft policy will give the significant improvements of the value of operation compared to the Traditional Management, General ERP, and combination of both of them.
