First Time

In 1903, one hundred years after the Prix de Rome had been created in music composition, women were allowed to participate in the competition for the first time. In 1913, Lili Boulanger became the first woman to win the prize, crowning the efforts of three others-Juliette Toutain, Hélène Fleury, and Nadia Boulanger-to achieve this goal. Their stories are fascinating case studies of the strategies women employed to achieve success and public recognition within the complex framework of French cultural politics at the beginning of the twentieth century.

AbstractThis article provides an introduction to the special issue onMapping Shia Muslim Communities in Europe.1 With six empirically rich case studies on Shia Muslim communities in various European countries, this issue intends: first, to illustrate the historical developments and emergence of the Shia presence in Europe; second, to highlight the local particularities of the various Shia communities within each nation state and demonstrate their transnational links; and third, to provide for the first time an empirical comparative study on the increasingly visible presence of Shia communities in Europe that fills an important gap in research on Muslims in Europe.

Huge Variation

This chapter examines to another aspect of executive order management. It turns out that the average executive order takes some seventy-five days to move from draft proposal to the Federal Register, with huge variation around that figure. What affects that timing? What makes an executive order take longer to issue? What characteristics of orders and agencies, of interagency interaction and requirements of the management process itself, are associated with delay? Quantitative analysis, elaborated by case studies, helps us explore these questions for the first time as the duration of the formulation process is tested as a proxy for executive collective action problems.

The research question is “How can firms approach synchronization in strategic planning?”, aiming to investigate opportunities for improved synchronization within strategic planning. The focus is on roadmapping, as a relatively simple, flexible and widely used method that includes time as an explicit dimension. The adopted methodology is a process approach, consisting of literature review, exploratory interviews, practitioner interviews, and case studies with large multinational firms based in the UK that are familiar with roadmapping. As a result, four types of synchronization have been identified and discussed, including generic forms of each type, illustrated with industrial examples from the case studies.

Practical Implications

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The year 2016 will in part be remembered, like all years divisible by four since 1896, by the Olympic spectacle that emanated for the first time from Brazil’s most famous city, Rio de Janeiro. But will it be the success, or the scandal that lingers longest in the memory? As with all modern Olympics, it was a blend of astonishing achievements, colorful celebration and sudden scandals – banned athletes, drug cheats, badly behaved swimmers and dodgy decisions all formed part of the rich canvas that enthralls millions each time it is held. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Conditions for new parties’ participation in a founding election in a democratic transition

First Time

The literature on democratic transitions considers the participation of new parties in the first pluralist election in a post-authoritarian context (founding election) as something to be taken for granted. As such, it is never questioned. Specialists in democratic transitions ignore the research on “new parties,” which is, nonetheless, essential to the understanding of the particular characteristics of a post-authoritarian situation. Using an original qualitative study on Algeria, this article proposes to bring to light the political, organizational, and legal conditions of new political parties’ participation or nonparticipation in a founding election. In particular, this research allows us to grasp the dilemmas and difficulties faced by leaders of new parties and the types of support on which they rely to engage for the first time in an electoral competition. The analytical framework stemming from this “case study” is applicable to other national case studies.

Landslide Retrogression

Theoretical considerations and case-studies are presented to show that, in many cases, the severity of retrogression of an unstable valley slope, in areas of sensitive muddy sediment, is controlled by the topography of the valley. A formula is offered to predict the distance of retrogression from topographic attributes of valleys. It is suggested that most retrogressive landslides in sensitive sediments involve only limited liquefaction of the spoil, and it is for this reason that retrogression is controlled by this topographic constraint. Those situations in which retrogression stops before this limit is reached are also discussed: one important factor which can determine whether or not such aborted retrogression will occur appears to be the nature of the first-time slide. Those situations in which retrogression can exceed this topographic limit are briefly examined as well: attention is focussed on the importance of spoil liquefaction as a prerequisite for such excess landslide retrogression. Data are presented which indicate that the initial undrained strength of the sediment exerts a major control on the degree of spoil liquefaction. Finally the possibility is considered that some assumed retrogressive failures were in fact flake slides in which the slide mass disintegrated after failure. Such 'retrogressive facsimiles' are considered to be rare.
