Conventional WisdomOne of the most widely accepted assumptions in the literature on rural development during the past two decades has been the belief that 'favouring the progressive farmer' is prudent policy. The safest way of investing rural development funds, it has been argued repeatedly, is to allocate them to those who have already succeeded in farming or business, or who have had relevant training or education. They are the people who are the most likely to achieve increased levels ofb production and income.

The point of view of the EDF (French National Electricity Company) must be considered, but should not be predominant, as it has practically been up to now : the national energy policy which depends on long range previsions is the Government's business. But as there is no general agreement about the aims and the priorities, and about tomorrow's Society, the Government should keep different possibilities open for the future and not be bound by non reversible choices in the field of energy production.

The best argument for socialism is that which extends the defense of political democracy, going from abolition of direct subjection to abolition of indirect subjection. This can be linked to the medieval maxim 'what touches all should be decided by all.' The state is not the only common enterprise in present society; & the entrepreneurial arguments often applied to business operations & policies also apply to those of towns & communities. Different constitutional arrangements are needed in communities & economic enterprises, but not different basic concepts. W. H. Stoddard.

When a capitalist exploiter dies, he is usually survived, apart from his heirs, by his cars, banking accounts, businesses, stocks and bonds. The victims of his exploitation do not survive him; they outlive him. Aware that the masses of the world—once beyond his predatory habits, greed and blood-sucking—are anxious to forget him, he leaves behind a will calling for the construction of a huge foundation, library or museum to perpetuate his name, a name which is usually engraved deep into the walls.

Organisation of the physical distribution function within business firms is a recent development in the United States. The development of physical distribution organisational structures has generally taken the form of a firm transferring the warehousing, traffic, order processing, inventory, and purchasing responsibilities from many individual departments to a single management unit headed by a distribution manager. The reason for this departmental re‐shuffling has not been just to streamline decision making, but rather, to make the firm's physical distribution operations more effective and efficient.

Later information confirms our February estimate that real economic growth in the OECD area last year was around 5 3/4 per cent. Our figure for 1973 has, however, been raised further and now stands at 7 per cent. Consumer demand should again be very strong and though housing investment is likely to increase more slowly, and even to flatten out in the United States, business investment in Western Europe has become much more buoyant in the last six months or so. Some slowing down still seems probable in 1974.

Over the past year there has been much rhetoric on regulation, particularly in the Westminster Parliament regarding the need for deregulation. Professor James Curran MBE and Chief Executive Officer of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) discusses regulation from the perspective of regulation being good for the individual as well as for business. In this lecture, Professor Curran talks about new and better ways of delivering regulation, ways that involve every single one of us and make us all healthier and happier.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to critically describe when and how one applies simulation to business systems.Throughout, the discussion is based on a realistic example of a grocery checkout counter.

Important topics covered include: the advantages and disadvantages of simulation, the formulation of system simulations, the methods of moving time, the concept and use of random numbers, tests of validity, and the analysis of results.

The high degree of instability in the colleges and universities today poses the question of whether the source of the problem is in society itself or in the type of administrative leadership at the academic helm. The two main foci of criticism are: one, the belief that outsiders, especially successful business men, might better provide economical and stable leadership; or two, that a professional preparation for leadership itself would bring forth more capable administrators. The answer to these questions is the purpose of this paper.
