PDF Juki Girls, Good Girls: Gender and Cultural Politics in Sri Lanka’s Global Garment Industry Caitrin Lynch digsell https://lnkd.in/esnVKNZs When a government program brought garment factories to rural Sri Lanka, women workers found themselves caught between the pressures of a globalizing economy and societal expectations that villages are sanctuaries of tradition. These women learned quickly to resist the characterization of “Juki girls”―female garment workers already established in the urban sector―as vulgar and deracinated, instead asserting that they were “good girls” who could embody the nation’s highest ideals of femininity. Caitrin Lynch shows how contemporary Sri Lankan women navigate a complex web of political, cultural, and socioeconomic forces. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research conducted inside export-oriented garment factories and a … Read More » https://lnkd.in/eb8BjB6f

PDF Crime control as industry: towards gulags, Western style Nils Christie digsell https://lnkd.in/eRTvkGjM Crime Control As Industry, translated into many languages, is a modern classic of criminology and sociology. Nils Christie, one of the leading criminologists of his era, argues that crime control, rather than crime itself is the real danger for our future. Prison populations, especially in Russia and America, have grown at an increasingly rapid rate and show no signs of slowing. Christie argues that this vast and growing population is the equivalent of a modern gulag, run by a rapacious industry, both public and private, with vested interests in incarceration. Pain and confinement are products, like any other, with a … Read More » https://lnkd.in/eNwhsMag

PDF Supply Chain in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Strategic Influences and Supply Chain Responses Rob Whewell digsell https://lnkd.in/e_rNrFRB The pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is hugely complex because it involves so many markets, products, processes and intermediaries. It is also heavily regulated, global, and used by everyone at some stage in their life. No wonder the supply chain for delivery of healthcare services is often fragmented and understood only in discrete sections. Changes in one area impact upon the others, and environmental factors such as pricing, regulatory change or actions by competitors impact the whole supply chain in ways that are not easily understood or managed. Accelerating technology, the commoditization of healthcare, increasing demands from ageing populations all influence … Read More » https://lnkd.in/eZFqWUUE

PDF Seeing What’s Next: Using Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change Clayton M. Christensen, Erik A. Roth, Scott D. Anthony digsell https://lnkd.in/ebwkEz8A Every day, individuals take action based on how they believe innovation will change industries.

Based on proven theories outlined in Christensen’s landmark books The Innovator’s Dilemma and The Innovator’s Solution, Seeing What’s Next offers a practical, three-part model that helps decision-makers spot the signals of industry change, determine the outcome … Read More » https://lnkd.in/eSjaZ6bd
