In this paper a new analytical framework is developed to examine the emergent spatial and functional reorganizations of large firms that are intimately related to the use of corporate networks. The framework is developed through a systematic analysis of the various types of relationships between information technology and corporate reorganization, and the identification of the key elements and dimensions of corporate reorganizations. It allows for specific organizational changes to be understood within the overall context of corporate reorganization in the firm, and most of all, to be easily seen as in some way related to the use of corporate networks. Unlike previous studies in which the role of space and place has mostly been marginalized, in this inquiry geography is regarded as an integral part of the development of corporate networks and corporate reorganizations. By centrally focusing on the intersections between corporate networks, large firms, and geography, I conceptualize a wide range of phenomena that are observed in real organizations, and speculate on their implications for the future form of organizations and urban and regional development.

This chapter examines the policy role of advertising, marketing, and the media in corporate strategy. This area was shown by our network analysis to be central to corporate networks at the EU level. We examine the extent to which the advertising, marketing, and media industries co-operate with addiction-related industries in their lobbying and related political strategies; how addiction-related industries engage in debate and strategic action in relation to questions of advertising, marketing, and media; and how corporations engage with the news media to protect their interests. In the course of this, we examine case studies of the World Federation of Advertisers, MediaSmart, and the Advertising Education Forum amongst other lobby groups.

Networks of computers are everywhere. The Internet is one, as are the many networks of which it is composed. Mobile phone networks, corporate networks, factory networks, campus networks, home networks, in-car networks, both separately and in combination, all share the essential characteristics that make them relevant subjects for study under the heading distributed systems. Most organizations use a wide variety of applications for the smooth functioning of their businesses that includes homogenous as well as heterogeneous systems. Heterogeneous systems run on different platforms, use different technologies or sometimes even run on a different network architecture altogether. The essential role of Middleware is to provide a simple environment to manage complex, heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. The main goal of this paper is to use Java-RMI middleware to build a distributed system for scheduling the threads. The system comprises two separate programs, a server, and a client. A typical server program creates some remote objects, makes references to these objects accessible, and waits for clients to invoke methods on these objects. A typical client program obtains a remote reference to one or more remote objects on a server and then invokes methods on them.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
