the price mechanism works. In order to bring out what the “nature” of the firm is, the contributions in this literature revolve around one or more of these questions. However, all contributions basically share the core assumption of (more or less) rational, self-interested, and autonomous individuals (Foss, 2000). Under this assumption, it is by no means evident how the surplus resulting from forming an organization can be secured if there are unforeseen contingencies, costs for information, measurement

most people are incapable of being motivated by moral considerations, or that moral judgments are so subjective as to be useless in resolving conflicting claims and in fulfilling the other social functions usually assigned to morality. Whatever its rationale, moral skepticism, and its derivative, skepticism about political ethics, represent a refusal to accept moral ar- l6 A STATE OF NATURE guments as sources of reasons for action. Moral skepticism might take a variety of forms, including a

methyltransferase with a broadened nucleoside recognition capability. The evolution of tRNA methyltransferases methylating the N1 atom of a purine residue is discussed. INTRODUCTION Cellular RNAs possess numerous chemically modified nucleosides, but the largest number and the greatest variety are found in transfer RNA (tRNA). These modifications are introduced by many different enzymes during the complex process of RNA maturation. The functions of these modified nucleosides are not well known, but it seems that modifications

The policy is typically described as a deliberate plan of action to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). It is a set of basic principles and associated guidelines, formulated and enforced by the governing body of an organization, in this case the investor, to direct and limit its actions in pursuit of long-term objectives.

However, it reveals a strong link between cultural diversity and strategic rationale. The findings suggest that cultural diversity should not be understood as differences between stable sets of values and norms, but rather as a way to explain interindividual difficulties. We then propose factors that are likely to influence the impact

ASHRAE Journal.) While that ill-fated document never got past its first public review, it did contain an entire chapter on residential ventilation and actually began to provide useful guidance to the builder. Rather than attempt to resolve the large number of comments that 62R generated, ASHRAE decided, in the summer of 1997, that the better course of action was to change the structure of how it dealt with such High Profile Standards (HPS). At that meeting it was decided to split off the residential

In 1999, the Program for the Harmonization of Federal Legislation with the Civil Law of the Province of Quebec was given permanent resources and at this time has a staff of 50 persons, including a number of jurists for whom the program represents an alternative to the traditional practice of law. The Program is being implemented by the Civil Code Section whose work consists mainly of legal research and the drafting of proposed legislative amendments

The new Cinquecento will combine “emotional appeal with rational buying reasons”. such as lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, says Kevin Gaskell of EurotaxGlass, an automotive consultancy which has done some work for Fiat. Fiat will make the new Cinquecento in the same plant in Tychy, Poland, where it
