    Notes: Research on mission statements has shown considerable variability in their value as well as equal disagreement about their value. Mission statements and strategic objectives are often created in the hope that they can help push the organization toward some desired destination. Every person and every organization needs to have a clear destination for their group or organization, but it will require finding better vehicles than simple mission statements. Successful organizations should probably spend 90 percent of their time keeping people focused and 10 percent figuring out how to get there. Ineffective organizations tend to spend 90 percent of their time making rules, regulations, and procedures. Asking good questions is a fine start, but it also takes hard work and continual feedback; otherwise, you end up with a lifeless mission statement. It may not be essential for the entire group to think as one or to reach a complete agreement or singularity about what they are supposed to be about, but the process of continually monitoring and evolving this process is essential.

    Notes: Employee involvement is essential to improving pollution control. Organizations like Dow Chemical have been able to use employee involvement to reduce pollution. It begins by understanding, as Dow does, that "If pollution is a cost to you (my competitor) and a cost to me, I win if my costs are lower". Controlling these costs requires people to think about it - a lot. Everyone must accept ownership for pollution. All the pieces must fit together. Unfortunately, even the most advanced companies are still struggling with these issues. An anonymous survey was sent to some of the top pollution-reducing companies in the world. Responses to the questionnaire that focused on a wide range of issues often proved surprising to disturbing. Executives in charge sometimes felt they had employee involvement but few of the operational conditions for it to exist. Dow Chemical provides a rare example of being able to connect all the pieces, through its three keys.

    Notes: Discusses the importance of environment as it affects organizations in terms of cost containment, dealing with new regulations or reacting to unexpected problems. Looks at the possibilities of "cashing in" on the public's concern for the environment and views the environment as a means by which to gain competitive advantage in the 1990s. Proposes that pollution management is more than controlling cost; it can be a revenue generator. Concludes that some managers are "out of touch" and that their employees have a better grasp of reality. Emphasizes again that the potential for environmental profit extends far beyond customer appeal.

    Notes: Looks at how companies can go about creating a competitive culture using American Express as an example. Provides details of their programme, including their focus of attitudinal training and the role of leadership. American Express has chosen quality service to their customers as their unifying factor and this has worked well, as employees can easily put themselves into the customer's shoes and, if the process is done correctly, take pride in a job well done. Looks at the firm's intrastructure, in-house training sessions, service tracking, reports, transaction-based surveys, establishing of links, performance reviews, attitudinal training, employee involvement, and communications. Concludes by noting American Express confirm that people want to give their best and it is management's job to encourage employees and then empower them so they can do so.

    Notes: The environment is the source of many discussions in America's board rooms. Most of the conversations probably center around cost containment, dealing with new regulations or reacting to unexpected problems. Some conversations may even revolve around how to "cash in" on the public's concern for the environment. All of these discussions are normal, but also are increasingly becoming outdated. Companies that see the environment as a cost rather than a chance to gain a competitive advantage are perhaps missing the best opportunity of the 1990s. In the 1980s, quality was the vehicle that delivered greater profits and market share, but many businesses were late to recognize the fact that quality is a profit issue, not a cost issue. It was only the success of the Japanese and consumer pressure that created the quality revolution. Today, it is the environment that holds enormous potential for business, but until recently business was in a reactive not proactive mode. In order to be able to use the environment as a competitive weapon, business needs to begin where it should always begin, its customers.

    Notes: [Auszug] LORENZ1 has pointed out considerable limitations in the knowledge likely to accrue from the Pavlovian type of experiment on conditioned reflexes. Principally, these stemmed from the fact that the animal was isolated from stimuli other than the one chosen by the experimenter, and this restraint ...
