Pushing back the frontiers of space

Article Abstract:

Many companies are looking to cut costs by reducing the amount of office space they use. This trend can sometimes be incompatible with the growing pressure put on employees by companies as the business environment becomes increasingly competitive. A report from PA Consulting Group highlights a number of key challenges that businesses will have to manage if they are to derive benefits. These include regarding the workplace as an integrated environment, providing quiet space, home working and the use of computers.

Backwards is not the way forward

Article Abstract:

The Royal Society for Arts, Manufacture and Commerce (RSA) launched an investigation into 'Tomorrow's Company.' Government expects increasing participation in the community and education by business. The Performance Measurement Foundation was established by RSA in Jul 1992 to bring together employers trying to include quality, market share and consumer satisfaction in calculating success. Accountants can advise companies on information technology for practising this measurement.

City lawyers start to feel the pinch

Article Abstract:

Solicitors in the City of London were protected from the recession by privatisation work and advising liquidators and receivers, but by Nov 1992 they were having to cut jobs. Over 1,000 assistant solicitors and some salaried partners have lost their jobs in 1992. Corporate clients have objected to high charges and use competitive tendering. Some companies have restricted the career progression of their employees.
