Loyalty

In celebrating the centenary of the birth of Anatoly K. Babko we appreciatively recall his diligence, scientific, pedagogical and organizing talents. His active and purposeful character will always feature in our strikingly kind memory of Anatoly K. Babko - who through all his life maintained a love and loyalty to science. 

One of us (C.L.L.C) would specially like to thank her many research students (past and present) for their unwavering support, friendship and loyalty, which enabled her to achieve what she now has. She wishes also to thank her family for their love, and would particularly like to dedicate her contribution towards this book to the memory of her brother Andrew who had said that he should have been a scientist. 

Most producers believe in the adage quality pays in terms of better reputation and sales, customer loyalty, lower reject rates, service and warranty costs. They should also realize that safety pays in terms of reducing the legal exposure and the tremendous costs that this can incur, both directly and indirectly, for example from compensation, legal fees, time and effort, increased insurance premiums, recalls and publicity (Wright, 1989). Few manufacturers understand all the cost factors involved, and many take a shortsighted view of the actual situation with regard to the costs of safety.

But if the property is unlike any the world has yet seen, then it is not clear how such property should be regarded, let alone protected. In other words, the question of just what sort of property software is has not been satisfactorily answered, which contributes to the debate on the uniqueness question. Nonetheless, devices such as copyrights, patents, encryption, trade secrets, and oaths of confidentiality and standard virtues like trustworthiness and loyalty have been tried to protect ownership and the right to property [17, 23].

Trust, which implies respect, is the fundamental source of high morale and productivity, loyalty, and enthusiasm. A common corporate aphorism is that "no one is irreplaceable". In fact, the loss of even the least efficient member of one s team to some degree scars the whole. While everyone may be replaceable, one must ask whether replacing people is worth the price in trust lost. There may be cases in which an employee proves incapable of performing at a minimal level of competence. In such cases, transfer or termination should be performed promptly for the benefit of the group, the corporation, and the employee. The recent trend toward solving corporate performance problems by dismissal of employees, however, is unwholesome.

In order to supply organic food of a consistently high quality on a regular basis, it is necessary to have an overproduction on the farm. Only in this way can sufficient selection be made to ensure high quality, which in turn helps to maintain consumer loyalty. It also means that another outlet needs to be found for the seconds. 

Sire, do you think I would feed her back at the mews, if I knew she d had so much in the field Wat has taught me better than that No, I know you would not. But she s wild, don t forget. She s not a dog, or a man. You cannot teach her loyalty. She has none, and she s no use for yours. You are not her liege lord, nor she your servant to command. She will not work for you now in the hope or certainty of favors or protection later. All she knows is that today she was hungry, and we helped her to her food. Tomorrow Who knows ...

Until the past few years, whenever the engineer spoke of ethics he meant loyalty to company. Now some are speaking about what is good for mankind. This trend could add a new dimension to process engineering just as great as the changes that occurred around 1958.

Frameworks Across the business models and system specification, there often are generic problem frameworks that appear in specific forms. For example, the business description (and hence system spec) for a seminar company might have frameworks for resource allocation (assign instructors and rooms), inventory and production (maintain course notes inventory for deliveries), and customer loyalty (monitor product preferences...

To my more than 50 fellow-researchers, from recent graduates to Senior Lecturers on study-leave, I owe much for their part in the master-apprentice collaboration which for me has always been one of the most interesting of human relations. All of them, and their quirks, I remember with varying degrees of irritation and admiration, and with gratitude for their hard working, hard thinking and loyalty.
