Benchmarking corporate headquarters
Article Abstract:
The Ashridge Strategic Management Centre offers practical advice on benchmarking corporate headquarters. Based on surveys it conducted, the organization stresses that there is no standard model for corporate headquarters as a result of the substantial differences among headquarters. The center recommends studying the factors that can account for these differences before determining benchmarks that are suitable for specific conditions. The center also offers guidance on how to interpret benchmarks, decide the number of staff members, and determine the level of influence the headquarters should have.

Feminism and the academy - four case studies
Article Abstract:
The implications of a feminist ethic for academic life based on four case studies written by women who have studied or are presently studying theology and ethics are discussed. The first case study is presented from the point of view of a student of Masters of Divinity program. The second recounts the experiences of a graduate student of feminist theology and ethics. The third describes the experience of an adjunct faculty member who is pursuing a full-time teaching position. The last case study discusses the implications of motherhood for a full-time university professor.
