Local culture

The best way to ensure that your plan for PSM design, development, and installation will mesh with local culture is to rely heavily on local management in formulating your initial plan. In some situations, the best approach may prove to be direct importation of PSM systems developed elsewhere, while in other situations you may serve as a resource to a local team that engages in its own design process. 

A prospective location may appear to be right in all other respects but fails because of the manpower resource. This refers to not only the economic aspects such as the availability of labor and skills but also to the qualitative ones of being able to understand the local culture and customs, appreciation of people s attitudes and values. It also refers to the confidence in the ability to blend these with the culture and aspirations of the company to form a cohesive production unit that will work. A successful processing concept in one cultural environment may not be a success in another.

For the Paris and the London-Manchester schools, the local culture, educational tradition, laboratory research programs, theoretical systems, and personal networks that helped forge a school identity and a disciplinary identity are worked out in some detail. In addition to constructing an account of a new branch of theoretical chemistry, focused on organic reaction mechanisms, these chapters suggest important differences in national traditions within the disciplinary field of physical organic chemistry. 

UPS s growth has historically been evolutionary and organic. The company had trouble in its initial international expansion efforts because it tried to export UPS people to foreign countries and to override local culture and customs. But it learned. UPS has now reinvented itself by moving from the package or document delivery business to serving the entire supply and distribution chain. 

Worldwide cultural eutrophication is most commonly seen in marginal seas and bays. In Europe, observations since the 1950s have documented increased cultural eutrophication in the North, Baltic, Adriatic, Irish, Mediterranean, Black, and Kattegat Seas. In the United States, cultural eutrophication hot spots include the Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, Florida Bay, and Tampa Bay. In most of these locales, cultural eutrophication has progressed such that hypoxia is now a seasonal or persistent feature. 

Since the same chemical in different contexts induces hallucinations of local cultural significance, there is unlikely to be a specific mechanism related to spiritual or religious experience. While most would assume visions induced by chemical hallucinogens result from released memories or associative processes.

Participant Businesses should avoid being lock-stepped with their customers. Often they don t have very many customers, and their fortunes are tied very closely to their customers. If you do have a new idea that is not in the line of your present market, take it out of your company. Set it up separately so the project is not infected by the local culture, which doesn t allow anything beyond the norm. Move the idea to one side, set up a warehouse somewhere, and do it. Universities are another area where new ideas can be found that are worth funding. As an acquisition strategy, look for small companies for which you provide value, such as distribution. You may provide some good marketing information to them, but your new project should be a whole new technology. Get on the board of some small company and pay attention to that. 

Kava originates from the root of the Piper methysticum (kava) plant that grows predominately in the South Pacific islands. This drug has been used for centuries by various local cultures because of its sedative and antianxiety effects. Kava has likewise gained popularity in western societies, and studies suggest that kava extracts can be used as an alternative to traditional sedative-hypnotic and anxiolytic drugs, such as benzodiazepines (see Chapter 6).21,39 Kava may also produce... 

Social Issues (People). The sustainable development of society concerns needs.

The development of sticky rice is a good example of how plant breeders choose modified plants in response to local cultural preferences. 

Aldrin from Rice. An important off-take for aldrin is in the treatment of rice seed to protect the seedling against grape colaspis larvae and rice water weevils. The seed is usually sprayed with sufficient volume of an aldrin-hydrocarbon solution to give 2-4 oz. of aldrin per bushel of seed. The seed is either flown onto flooded fields or drilled into dry fields and then flooded. The planting rate, which determines the amount of aldrin applied per acre, will vary with the variety and local cultural practices. The fields are drained and reflooded a few times before harvest, the frequency depending upon the amount of rainfall and degree...

It follows from the foreword that teaching sustainable development shonld be the complete opposite of that which applies to monothematic discipUnes. Of course, it should include one-dimensional aspects such as the assessment of energy flows (i.e. power) essential for populations to achieve certain objectives (in particular the quality of life, a purely subjective notion, whose appreciation also depends on location, local culture as well as moment in human history) which requires the quantification (measurable) of energy demands as well as the consequences (often measurable, for some aspects at least) of producing and using this energy.
