pitfalls in the theory of international trade policy concertina reforms of tariffs and subsidies to High Technology industries
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1998Co-Authors: Peter J NearyAbstract:This paper explores the links between international trade theory and the practice of trade and industrial policy in open economies, with special attention to three areas where theoretical lessons have been misunderstood in policy debates. The author argues that the 'concertina rule' for tariff reform justifies reductions in High tariffs but not moves toward uniformity and particularly not increases in low tariffs. He shows that the basic principles of tariff reform are the same in unilateral, multilateral, and customs union contexts. Finally, the author suggests that the theory of strategic trade policy does not justify subsidies to High-Technology industries.

spatial transfer of knowledge in High Technology milieux learning versus collective learning processes
Regional Studies, 1999Co-Authors: Roberta CapelloAbstract:CAPELLO R. (1999) Spatial transfer of knowledge in High Technology milieux: learning versus collective learning processes, Reg. Studies 33 , 353‐365 . An analysis of the definitions provided so far in the literature shows ambiguities in the conceptualization of collective learning. A parallel analysis of the concepts of learning and collective learning is provided, and similarities and differences underlined. One of the main distinguishing features of collective learning is embedded in the element of ‘club externality', while ‘continuity' and ‘dynamic synergies' are common properties of learning and collective learning. These reflections lead to some interesting empirical questions which are investigated in the empirical part of the paper. In particular, the empirical analysis addresses the questions: (1) is it true that collective learning is not the result of co-operative behaviour, but of a collective behaviour; and (2) is it true that collective learning is the way of achieving new creative resources ...

the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging a systematic review of the qualitative evidence
Radiography, 2011Co-Authors: Zachary Munn, Zoe JordanAbstract:Abstract Background When presenting to an imaging department, the person who is to be imaged is often in a vulnerable state, and can experience the scan in a number of ways. It is the role of the radiographer to produce a High quality image and facilitate patient care throughout the imaging process. A qualitative systematic review was performed to synthesise the existent evidence on the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging. Only papers relating to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) were identified. Inclusion criteria Studies that were of a qualitative design that explored the phenomenon of interest, the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging. Participants included anyone who had undergone one of these procedures. Methods A systematic search of medical and allied health databases was conducted. Articles identified during the search process that met the inclusion criteria were then critically appraised for methodological quality independently by two reviewers. Results During the search and inclusion process, 15 studies were found that were deemed of suitable quality to be included in the review. From the 15 studies, 127 findings were extracted from the included studies. These were analysed in more detail to observe common themes, and then grouped into 33 categories. From these 33 categories, 11 synthesised findings were produced. The 11 synthesised findings Highlight the diverse, unique and challenging ways in which people experience imaging with MRI and CT scanners. Conclusion The results of the review demonstrate the diverse ways in which people experience medical imaging. All health professionals involved in imaging need to be aware of the different ways each patient may experience imaging.

the effectiveness of interventions to reduce fear anxiety and claustrophobia of patients undergoing imaging with High Technology modalities a systematic review
International Journal of Evidence-based Healthcare, 2011Co-Authors: Zachary Munn, Zoe JordanAbstract:Review objective The primary objective of this review is to identify the effectiveness of interventions aiming to improve the patient experience of High Technology imaging, by reducing fear, anxiety, claustrophobia and any other negative emotions that may arise during the scanning process. Additionally, the effectiveness of interventions which result in improved patient satisfaction of High Technology imaging will also be addressed. By addressing these issues, secondary outcomes, such as throughput, sedation rates, and radiographer satisfaction, may also be affected, and thus will also be included in the review. Inclusion criteria Types of participants This review will consider studies that include patients of any age who have undergone High Technology imaging in a medical imaging department. The participants may be receiving imaging for a wide range of indications, and may have any pre-existing condition or disability. For the purposes of this review, MRI, CT, PET and SPECT will be considered to be High Technology medical imaging, and will be searched for specifically. Advanced, High Technology imaging procedures are increasingly prevalent and there is rapid growth in these imaging modalities. These scans are more complex than other basic procedures, and can be more difficult to operate, which may have an effect on the holistic care of the patient, as it distances the imaging technologist from the patient. All diagnostic imaging procedures considered for this review are non-invasive or minimally invasive. Interventional diagnostic procedures were not included. Types of interventions This review will consider studies that evaluate interventions designed to reduce fear, anxiety, or feelings of claustrophobia during scanning compared to usual care. The review will also consider interventions that aim to improve the satisfaction of persons undergoing imaging. These may include a number of interventions delivered individually or in combination, including but not limited to information/education, different positions, manipulation of the environment, prism glasses, lighting levels, movement of air/fans, company, panic buttons, music, open design of MRI, psychological preparation, hypnosis, aromatherapy, sedation, and screening of patients for claustrophobia.

the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging a systematic review of the qualitative evidence
International Journal of Evidence-based Healthcare, 2011Co-Authors: Zachary Munn, Zoe JordanAbstract:Background When presenting to an imaging department, the person who is to be imaged is often in a vulnerable state, and out of their comfort zone. It is the role of the medical imaging technician to produce a High quality image and facilitate patient care throughout the imaging process. Qualitative research is necessary to better inform the medical imaging technician and to help them to understand the experience of the person being imaged. Some issues that have been identified in the literature include fear, claustrophobia, dehumanisation, and an uncomfortable or unusual experience. There is now a small but worthwhile qualitative literature base focusing on the patient experience in High Technology imaging. There is no current qualitative synthesis of the literature on the patient experience in High Technology imaging. It is therefore timely and worthwhile to produce a systematic review to identify and summarise the existent literature exploring the patient experience of High Technology imaging. Objectives To identify the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging. Inclusion criteria Studies that were of a qualitative design that explored the phenomenon of interest, the patient experience of High Technology medical imaging. Participants included anyone who had undergone one of these procedures. Search strategy The search strategy aimed to find both published and unpublished studies, and was conducted over a period from June – September 2010. No time limits were imposed on this search strategy. A three-step search strategy was utilised in this review. Methodological quality All studies that met the criteria were selected for retrieval. They were then assessed by two independent reviewers for methodological validity prior to inclusion in the review using standardised critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument. Data extraction Data was extracted from papers included in the review using the standardised data extraction tool from the Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument. Data synthesis Research findings were pooled using the Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument. Results Following the search and critical appraisal processes, 15 studies were identified that were deemed of suitable quality to be included in the review. From these 15 studies, 127 findings were extracted, forming 33 categories and 11 synthesised findings. These synthesised findings related to the patient experience, the emotions they felt (whether negative or positive), the need for support and information, and Highlighted the importance of imaging to the patient. Conclusion The synthesised findings in this review Highlight the diverse, unique and challenging ways in which people experience imaging with MRI and CT scanners. All health professionals involved in imaging need to be aware of the different ways each patient may experience imaging, and provide them with ongoing support and information.

r d marketing integration in japanese High Technology firms hypotheses and empirical evidence
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 1993Co-Authors: Michael X Song, Mark E ParryAbstract:The authors review studies of U.S. High-Technology firms and hypothesize that, in Japanese High-Technology firms, the perceived level of achieved integration reflects perceptions of organizational structure and climate. To evaluate these hypotheses, the authors examine the perceptions of marketing managers from 264 Japanese High-Technology firms. Findings indicate that managerial perceptions of information-sharing and integration in budgeting were negatively correlated with perceptions of formalization. The authors also find that perceptions of information-sharing and integration in the early stages of new product development were positively correlated with perceptions of employee participation in decision-making and with perceptions of the value placed by senior management on R&D-marketing integration.

the r d marketing interface in japanese High Technology firms
Journal of Product Innovation Management, 1992Co-Authors: Michael X Song, Mark E ParryAbstract:Abstract Gupta, Raj and Wilemon [11,12] have examined the R&D-marketing interface in US High-Technology firms. X. Michael Song and Mark E. Parry explore the generalizability of those findings to Japanese High-tech firms, specifically, comparing the perceptions of 223 Japanese R&D and marketing managers regarding activities that require R&D-marketing integration, the level of achieved integration in Japanese firms and the types of integration related to variations in new product success rates. Their analyses reveal a number of consistencies between the perceptions of US and Japanese managers.
