Frozen by the green terror

Article Abstract:

Scotland businesses and industries are wary of violating the integrated pollution control provisions of the 1990 Environmental Protection Act. Under this regulation, processing industries which are most likely to create pollution such as paper-making and printing, coal, metal processing and electronics, are required to seek authorization. National and local regulatory agency permission is needed by firms for specific emissions which also cover other strict standards. Waste disposal regulations has made industry suppliers decrease packaging and other possible waste sources. Likewise, industrial sites must register land where manufacturing processes can lead to possible contamination. Fear of potential liabilities has made firms careful of violating strict environmental regulations.

Reid between the lines

Article Abstract:

British Rail Chmn Bob Reid is determined to carry out the privatization of the Channel Tunnel despite administrative and governmental barriers to the transport system's implementation and operation. The main source of complication for Reid is UK Transport Secretary Malcolm Rifkind's decision to undo existing plans for the Chunnel link and to create a new route. The substandard service of the transport system, distrust from railway unions, passenger complaints, and the transport system's under-funding by the Treasury further contribute to the enormity of problems Reid faces at British Rail. Persistence and the refusal to quit, along with the ability to give credit to others for solutions created, are the traits that will carry Reid through his duties at British Rail.

Singling out faces that fit the picture

Article Abstract:

The practice of executive search firms, or headhunters as they are sometimes called, involves looking for the right person for top positions for client companies. Oftentimes, their function is confused with executive selection and recruitment. Unlike selection and recruitment firms, however, headhunters do not have a list of applicants prior to briefing by clients. Instead, they rely on word of mouth from previous customers for potential candidates. Networks andcontacts may also be used although these sources have limited benefits, especially for highly specialized jobs. The best headhunters are those that have full-time researchers who are hired to hunt for names that are highly qualified for specified positions.
