Manufacturing companies including a local micro-enterprise - Quality Postform Ltd are persistently facing competitive pressures as a consequence of customers demanding higher quality products. The emergence of Quality Management has been attributed by many researchers and Quality Gurus including Phil Crosby as a strategic imperative for typical organisations to survive within a highly competitive environment. Nevertheless, research carried out throughout the past years is relatively restricted regarding the practicality of micro-manufacturing firms in implementing Crosby's Quality Improvement

ger: Das Thema dieser Arbeit ist die historische und musikalische Analyse der österreichischen Hip-Hop-Szene und ihrer lokalen Adaption des globalen Phänomens Hip-Hop. Sie bietet eine detaillierte und umfassende Darstellung der österreichischen Hip-Hop-Geschichte und liefert - mit Hilfe der musikalischen Analyse - einen Einblick in musikalische Charakteristika der Hip-Hop-Musik. Aber nicht nur allgemeine Charakteristika der Musik und ihrer dominanten Subgenres in Österreich werden aufgezeigt, ein Hauptziel der Untersuchung ist es, mögliche "glokale" Merkmale in der österreichischen Hip-Hop-Musik aufzuspüren."Glokalisierung" in Bezug auf Hip-Hop beschreibt die Verbindung von global vorherrschenden Merkmalen dieser Musik mit dem lokalen kulturellen Umfeld der MusikerInnen. Es wird aufgezeigt, wo diese "Glokalisierung" in der österreichischen Hip-Hop-Musik zu finden ist und wie sie realisiert wird. eng: The topic of this thesis is the historical and musical analysis of the Austrian hip-hop scene and its local adaptation of the global phenomenon hip-hop. It provides a detailed and comprehensive illustration of Austrian hip-hop's history and delivers – through the help of musical analysis – insight into musical characteristics of hip-hop music. But not only general characteristics of the music and its dominant subgenres in Austria are demonstrated, one main aim of the research is to seek out possible "glocal" features in Austrian hip-hop music. "Glocalization" in regard to hip-hop describes the conjunction of global prevalent characteristics of this music with the local cultural environment of the producers. It is shown, where this "glocalization" can be found in the Austrian hip-hop music and how it is realized. Erstmals wird in diesem Buch die für Deutschrap oft impulsgebende österreichische HipHop-Musiklandschaft auf Buchlänge ins Zentrum gerückt. Frederik Dörfler-Trummer zeichnet die Karrieren der wichtigsten Vertreter*innen - von Falco über Money Boy bis RAF Camora - nach und analysiert ihre Musik. Dabei werden genredefinierende Charakteristika des HipHop für die Subgenres BoomBap, Gangsta-Rap, Trap und Cloud-Rap herausgearbeitet. Über den Aspekt der Glokalisierung wird zudem das Zusammenspiel von globaler Verbreitung und lokaler Aneignung von HipHop-Musik demonstriert.

For any market to work properly, certain key elements are necessary: competition, pricing, rules, clearly defined offers, and easy access to information. Without these components, there would be chaos. Orderly Fashion examines how order is maintained in the different interconnected consumer, producer, and credit markets of the global fashion industry. From retailers in Sweden and the United Kingdom to producers in India and Turkey, Patrik Aspers focuses on branded garment retailers--chains such as Gap, H&M, Old Navy, Topshop, and Zara. Aspers investigates these retailers' interactions and competition in the consumer market for fashion garments, traces connections between producer and consumer markets, and demonstrates why market order is best understood through an analysis of its different forms of social construction. Emphasizing consumption rather than production, Aspers considers the larger retailers' roles as buyers in the production market of garments, and as potential objects of investment in financial markets. He shows how markets overlap and intertwine and he defines two types of markets--status markets and standard markets. In status markets, market order is related to the identities of the participating actors more than the quality of the goods, whereas in standard markets the opposite holds true. Looking at how identities, products, and values create the ordered economic markets of the global fashion business, Orderly Fashion has wide implications for all modern markets, regardless of industry.
