The Airborne Mafia explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought. The Airborne Mafia illuminates the power subcultures can have in changing their parent cultures over time, particularly one as set in its ways and as large as the US Army. With a deft touch, deep research, and an unwavering eye for the human stories behind organizational change, Williams helps explain the existence and importance of the paratrooper mystique that remains within the military still today.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensf hrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,3, Universit t Duisburg-Essen, Veranstaltung: Planung und Organisation, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge sich immer komplexer gestaltenden Lieferketten, deren Unternehmen bedingt durch die Globalisierung in vielen F llen ber die ganze Welt zusammen- arbeiten, hat sich der Aufwand f r den Materialfluss erheblich gesteigert. Eine Entwicklung des Nachfrageverhaltens f hrt zudem zu einer steigenden Produkt- vielfalt sowie einer Verk rzung der Produktlebenszyklen. Quellen wie das Internet verschaffen dem Kunden eine immer gr er werdende Informationsdichte, ber Preise, Verf gbarkeit, Qualit t und Lieferzeiten eines Produktes. Die daraus resultierenden h heren Anspr che und Erwartungen der Kunden fordern von den Unternehmen eine gro e Zahl ihrer Gesch ftsprozesse harmonischer aufeinander abzustimmen. Die Bedeutung, ausgehend von einer eingeschr nkten Sicht auf die Strukturen des eigenen Unternehmens, dessen Beschaffung, Produktion und den Vertrieb, hin zu einem integrativen Blick ber die eigenen Unternehmensgrenzen hinaus und da- mit die Wertsch pfungskette als Ganzes zu betrachten, tritt in den Vordergrund. Koordinationsprobleme innerhalb der SC f hren zu enormen und oftmals ver- meidbaren Kosten. Vor allem das Ph nomen des BWEes, worauf in dieser Arbeit der Schwerpunkt liegen soll, nimmt den Unternehmen einer Lieferkette die Chan- ce einer reibungslosen Funktionsweise. Aber gerade im Hinblick auf die Produktionsplanung bei der vor allem die Messgr en der Durchlaufzeit, der Termintreue, der Lagerbest nde und der Kapa- zit tsauslastung als Kostenverursacher zu identifizieren sind, zeichnet sich die Notwendigkeit ab, die durch den BWE entstehenden Kosten, mit Hilfe des SCMs so gering wie m glich zu halten. Nach einer den Leser unterst tzenden Begriffserkl rung der Produktionsplanung und des SCMs sollen zun chst die Ursachen f r die Entstehung des BWEes auf

(Book). Some of the most iconic recordings ever set to vinyl were produced on the Gibson Les Paul with the "Patent Applied For" pickup which, with its glass-like chime and haunting mids, represents the heart and soul of classic rock and the foundation upon which all subsequent guitar tone has evolved. The analysis within these 4-color pages precisely examines that very heart and soul, investigating its origins, development and rise to stardom...leaving no stone unturned in a quest to understand exactly what it is about the mythology of this particular combination of wires, wood and metal that make it so appealing to the ear, and so irreplaceable to the mix. Never before has such a revealing peek behind the scenes of the "Patent Applied For" pickup been attempted, but authors Mario Milan and James Finnerty will take you on a photographic tour of the genesis of the P.A.F. pickup with expert attention to every aspect of their engineering and a precise comparison and explanation of the qualities of pickups emanating from different eras. Along the way, myths are debunked, secrets revealed, and mysteries solved, which, along with an exclusive interview with Ted McCarty offer a deep and thorough analysis of that which makes these creations so uniquely special, as well as an explanation of exactly why replication has been so elusive. Well-known pickup winders offer their own diverse and individual perspectives on the reasons for such compelling and enduring appeal.
