adequate balance between delivery capacity and needs, our second problem statement aims to design a logistics network that can operate under high levels of uncertainty so that for a given level of service in terms of agility, efficiency is maximized. Our study quantifies the impact on costs of various decisions, such as network design, supply strategy or level of service. Contents Contents Introduction v ix I Humanitarian Supply Chains 1 Disaster Management: facts and recent changes 1

e-commerce environment. The proposed integration of the hypothesized independent variables is justified by placing all the variables under the nomological TRA structure and proposing their interrelationships. The resulting research model is tested using data from two empirical studies. The first, exploratory study comprises three experiential scenarios with 103 students. The second, confirmatory study uses a sample of 155 on-line consumers. Both studies strongly support the e-commerce acceptance model

system. Thus general circulation models are the essential tool for understanding past, present and future climate states. Quantification of the likely major errors in using oversimplified models with inadequate turbulence closures and undersampled data becomes the main issue. Determining the past and future circulations is not easy, but hiding the difficulties is not a viable option. 1. INTRODUCTION Physical, chemical, and circulation properties of the ocean are important elements of modern climate

contents of that earlier report.1 The report identifies models and strategies of good practice in urban design to support sustainability in EU and EU-accession countries, and presents a review of best practice and recommendations for action at all levels. It explores the themes of re-designing and retro-fitting existing urban areas, designing for greenfield sites, and knitting the urban fabric together to achieve an integrated city-wide vision. These themes are explored within the broader context

self-interest into organizational goals through the empowerment process. The early years of the decade 2000-2010 have already brought major changes in global and domestic awareness. Not since World War II has there been such an urgent need to link people, thoughts and knowledge (Segil, Goldsmith, Belasco, 2003). Perhaps it is already occurring that, as predicted by Riane Eisler in her book the Chalice and the Blade (1987), after 5 thousand years of living in a dominator society, a new model

with 66 percent of the world’s population, had a meager 19 percent of world income, compared with 58 percent in 1820. In 1950, however, one of the great changes of modern history began, with the rapid growth of many Asian economies. By 1992, fueled by high growth rates, Asia’s share of world income had risen to 33 percent.⁄ This tidal shift is likely to continue, with Asia reemerging by the early 21st century as the world’s center of economic activity. Asia’s sudden ascent has become something of a Rorschach

interviews with relevant actors involved in policy-making. The guiding questions for the desk research were: (a) what have been the objectives of national policies; (b) what is the relationship between internationalisation policies and overall national higher education policies; (c) what have been the instruments; (d) why have these objectives and instruments been chosen; and (e) (particularly) how have governments reacted to/anticipated the ERASMUS programme. Interviews took place to discuss the draft
