Many companies worldwide are implementing and applying for registration for the ISO 9000 series of quality standards. This implementation has the same effect on an organization as any other process that is changing the methods, procedures, or the basic culture of the company. The management style necessary to make these changes successful is the same as that which is necessary for any other transformational process. If the correct management style is present, ISO 9000 implementation, and any other change being attempted, will be successful. Change can be accomplished without transformational management but the overall effect and the cost benefit will not be maximized. This transformational management is the most important element. The technical aspects (the ISO 9000 hows and whys) are just a matter of someone within the organization learning them and developing a plan and system for management. The correct management style to achieve change is the most difficult. Strategies need to be clearly defined and methods developed in order to control the projects. Roadblocks need to be clearly identified and action planned to compensate for any shortcomings.

Corporate management is facing a world full of transformational challenges. How might theory development contribute to a more transformative vision of management? While there have been attempts by theorists to move beyond conventional conceptualizations, more innovative and, in particular, more integrative theoretical frameworks are still needed. Conventional and new paradigm management theories take contending sides in the change debate and often define their approaches in terms of dichotomous oppositions. Using an integrative approach to metatheory building, this article proposes that the application of a relational lens overcomes many common polarities and oppositions present within current theorisings. The relational qualities that emerge from this metatheoretical approach are presented as useful guides for developing innovative theories that address the operational and transformational challenges of 21st century management. The metatheoretical analysis not only provides an integrative framework for exploring more visionary conceptualisations of management it also shows that metatheorising has powerful critical capacities for assessing scientific theories in the social sciences.

In this study, behavior sequence analysis was applied to analyze behavior transformation pattern of students’ online study after the introduction of animation design in the course of International Trade Practice. As an effective method to study online study behavior, behavior sequence analysis can be used to track learners’ online learning path and describe their behavior sequence so as to explore their learning habits. Based on the analysis of 240 students’ online learning log data, it is found that multiple behavior sequences are significantly related to learning effect. In this paper, the theory of behavior sequence analysis was adopted to analyze the learning effect of International Trade Practice after the introduction of animation design. The result shows that the introduction of animation design can enhance students’ learning initiative.

Stevensite is a Mg-trioctahedral smectite with layer charge stemming from vacancies in the octahedral sheet. In the present work we studied the thermal behavior of Jbel Ghassoul stevensite from Morocco, known as Ghassoulite or Rhassoulite, free of talc layers. The clay fraction of the material was separated by sedimentation, it was subsequently heated from 250° to 800° C and the end products were examined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The influence of heating on the stevensite structure begins at 400°C and is completed at 500°C. It involves irreversible collapse of the layers at ~10Å, which do not re-expand in ethylene glycol (EG) vapors. In contrast, heating at lower temperatures does not affect the stevensite layers, which expand completely in EG. The FTIR spectra indicate the formation of talc-like (kerolite) layers after heating at temperatures exceeding 400°C. Within the current experimental setup, the transition to kerolite layers takes place without the formation of an intermediate mixed-layer stevensite/talc phase. Heating at higher temperatures does not change the transformation pattern, until 800°C where complete dehydroxylation of the 2:1 layer takes place, which is associated with the formation of enstatite. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that opposite to common trioctahedral and dioctahedral smectites, stevensite converts to another layer silicate prior to dehydroxylation.
