Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: An organizational culture guides members of the organization to think and behave as the organization requires. Project management has its own culture, which could be defined as a set of work related values and beliefs shared by project management members. The research analyzed the Brown (2000) model and dimensions that were used to describe a project management supportive organizational culture. These dimensions were used as the basis of the research. A literature study was performed on articles published after 1997 to determine if the dimensions are still applicable to a project management supportive organizational culture, as described in the earlier literature. Only three of the articles used for the evaluation included a statistical analysis of the dimensions as published by the authors. Most of the authors suggested dimensions that are supportive of project management, from practical experience gained in the industry. A short summary is given of the dimensions of the different articles. The dimensions were then compared to that of Brown (2000) to determine any deviation s. From the comparison it was found that the dimensions correspond to that what was published by Brown, but that there was a movement away from the individual to that of the team dimensions. Virtual team characteristics were analyzed and found that communication and trust are some of the dimensions that contribute to a project management supportive culture.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Organisasie kultuur gee leiding aan hul lede van die professie om te dink en hul te gedra soos wat die organisasie benodig. Projekbestuur het 'n eie kultuur wat gekenmerk word deur werk verwante waardes en opvattings wat gedeel word deur die praktisyns daarvan. Die navorsing analiseer Brown (2000) se model en die gepaardgaande dimensies van organisasie kuItuur wat projekbestuur ondersteun. Hierdie dimensies was gebruik as die basis van die navorsing. Die literatuur studie het gefokus op artikels gepubliseer na 1997 om vas te stel of hulle dimensies verskil van vroeere literatuur. Drie van die artikels wat geevalueer is bevat statistiese analises van die dimensies voorgesit deur die skrywers. Die skrywers het meestal dimensies voorgesit van projekbestuur vanuit hul praktiese ondervinding in die industrie. 'n Kort opsomming is weergegee van die dimensies uit die onderskeie artikels. Hierdie dimensies is dan vergelyk met die van Brown (2000) en verskille was uitgewys. Uit die vergelyking van die dimenisies voorgesit van Brown (2000) en die ander skrywers was daar 'n beweging weg van die individuele na 'n spandimensie gevind. VirtueIe spanne se dimensies het meer gefokus op kommunikasie en vertroue tussen spanlede om 'n projekbestuur organisasiekultuur te ondersteun.

The hospitality industry, with its dynamic business environment, has experienced unprecedented disruption and reconfiguration due to the emergence and success of sharing economy firms and online travel agencies. This turbulence calls for effective governance structures that can motivate managers to act in their shareholders' best interests. Despite the importance of effective corporate governance for firm performance and the topic receiving extensive scholarly attention in the management and finance literatures, there seem to be several gaps and mixed findings in the hospitality academic field. To facilitate scholarly advancement, identify gaps in the current knowledge base, and provide direction for future research, in the first essay I undertake a systematic review of research on corporate governance in the hospitality literature, and find that topics related to institutional ownership, executive compensation determinants, board size, and merger and acquisition (MandA) outcomes are commonly examined, whereas topics related to family ownership, debt, and regulation/law are seldom explored. This review contributes to the literature by taking stock of what we know and offering a one-stop-shop for scholars to understand and extend corporate governance literature published in the hospitality field. In the second essay, I empirically examine whether MandAs are more successful in the hospitality industry than in other industries and what may explain the potential discrepancy in merger performance. I find that overall acquirers gain from MandAs, and hospitality MandAs outperform non-hospitality MandAs. Bidders in the hospitality industry are more likely than non-hospitality bidders to acquire large, related targets, using an all-cash mode of payment. Except for industry relatedness, relative size, cash payment, and unlisted target are all positively related to merger performance. This study contributes to the literature by identifying several factors that can explain the differences in MandA performance between hospitality and non-hospitality firms. In the third essay I examine the relationship between MandAs and CEO compensation in a sample of hospitality firms, and find that CEO compensation is significantly higher in the year after large acquisitions; well-governed firms identified via tenure, the Entrenchment-index, and board independence pay their CEOs higher post-acquisition than poorly-governed firms; the fraction of equity-based compensation is unrelated to MandA propensity; and the fraction of cash-based compensation is negatively related to MandA propensity. The additional analyses indicate that CEOs are rewarded for positive stock returns but not penalized for negative stock returns, and even more so in well-governed firms after acquisition. This study finds that MandAs and corporate governance are determinants of CEO compensation and the form of CEO compensation matters to acquisition decisions in hospitality firms. The findings are of importance for shareholders and the board of directors to design compensation plans that align the interests of managers and shareholders.
Young, Erin S. "Corporate heroines and utopian individualism: A study of the romance novel in global capitalism." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11460.
Full textThis dissertation explores two subgenres of popular romance fiction that emerge in the 1990s: "corporate" and "paranormal" romance. While the formulaic conventions of popular romance have typically centralized the gendered tension between hero and heroine, this project reveals that "corporate" and "paranormal" romances negotiate a new primary conflict, the tension between work and home in the era of global capitalism. Transformations in political economy also occur at the level of personal and emotional life, which constitute the central problem that contemporary romances attempt to resolve. Drawing from sociological studies of globalization and intimacy, feminist criticism, and queer theory, I argue that these subgenres mark the transition from what David Harvey calls Fordist capitalism to flexible or global capitalism as the primary social condition negotiated in the popular romance. My analysis demonstrates that corporate and paranormal romance novels reflect changing ideals about intimacy in a globalized world that is increasingly influenced, socially and culturally, by the values and philosophies that dominate the marketplace. Each of these subgenres offers a distinct formal resolution to the cultural and social effects of a flexible capitalist economy. The "corporate" romances of Jayne Ann Krentz, Nora Roberts, Elizabeth Lowell, and Katherine Stone feature heroines who constantly navigate the dual and intersecting arenas of work and home in an effort to locate a balance that leads to success and happiness in both realms. In contrast, the "paranormal" romances of Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Kelley Armstrong, and Carrie Vaughn dissolve the tension between home and work, or the private and the public, by affirming the heroine's open and endless pursuit of pleasure, adventure, and self-fulfillment. Such new forms of romantic fantasy at once reveal the tension in globalization and the domination of corporate and masculinist values that the novels hope to overcome.

Full textThe proposition of this academic research is to investigate the representations of female body produced by medical discourse in the 13th century, starting from the analysis of three genres of medical literature in Late Middle Ages: the medical comments to Isagoge of Johannitius from Pedro Hispano, intellectual and physical portuguese, the theoretical treatise assigned to Alberto Magno called De secretis mulierum, and the set of recipes, Thesaurus pauperum, also authored by Peter of Spain. In this context, the medical knowledge rested basically in Aristotle's natural philosophy and in galenism (that had incorporated the medical knowledge and philosophy of the Ancient World), taken up and reinterpreted by the Arabs. For women and female issues, the medicine, under the reasoning of these bases, represented a resumption of a long medical tradition that had distinguished, hierarchized and inferiorized the female body in relation to the male body, likewise the woman's body was intended only for reproduction. Identified mainly regarding to the works of Aristotle and Galen, this understanding has been assimilated and resignified in the writings of the Latin medical tradition (Etimologias, of Isidore of Seville) and in the medieval arabic tradition (De Genecia, from Haly Abbas and Canon of Medicine, from Avicena). As medical scholastics major auctoritates, the images and representations in these differents traditions accounted the main references to think the women and their body in 13th century medicine. It's about these images and representations that we examine for analysis throughout this work.
O presente trabalho tem como proposta a investigação das representações corporais femininas produzidas pelo discurso médico no século XIII a partir da análise de três gêneros da literatura médica produzidos no baixo medievo: o comentário médico ao Isagoge de Johannitius do intelectual e físico português Pedro Hispano, o tratado teórico atribuído a Alberto Magno intitulado De secretis mulierum, e o receituário Thesaurus pauperum também de autoria petrinícia. Nesse contexto, o conhecimento médico assentava-se basicamente na filosofia natural de Aristóteles e no galenismo (que havia incorporado o conhecimento médico-filosófico do mundo antigo), absorvido e reinterpretado pelos árabes. Para as mulheres e os problemas femininos a fundamentação da medicina sob essas bases representou a retomada de uma longa tradição médica que havia diferenciado, inferiorizado e hierarquizado o corpo das mulheres em relação ao masculino, e o associado exclusivamente à reprodução. Identificada principalmente às obras de Aristóteles e Galeno, essa forma de compreensão fora assimilada e ressignificada nos escritos da tradição médica latina (Etimologias, de Isidoro de Sevilha) e árabe medieval (De genecia, de Haly Abbas, e Cânon de Medicina, de Avicena). Sendo as principais auctoritates da escolástica médica, as imagens e representações presentes nessas diferentes tradições representaram as principais referências para se pensar as mulheres e seu corpo na medicina do século XIII. É sobre essas imagens e representações que nos debruçamos para análise ao longo desse trabalho.

Full textEste estudo objetiva analisar os romances As parceiras (1980), Exílio (1987) e A sentinela (1994) da obra da escritora do Rio Grande do Sul, Lya Luft. O foco da pesquisa é investigar a visão/construção do feminino, aqui entendido como um efeito de linguagem, resultante da inserção do sujeito na ordem simbólica, elegendo-se as modalidades afetivas amor, ódio, sexualidade, maternidade falhada e as inscrições psíquicas no corpo erógeno ou corpo do desejo das personagens narradoras. Busca-se identificar os traços configuradores do universo feminino da autora a partir do exame das operações discursivas utilizadas para configurá-lo. Respeitando o estatuto ficcional das personagens, intenta-se efetuar uma análise do psiquismo destas, utilizando como referencial teórico basilar a psicanálise, em um diálogo com a mitologia e a crítica literária feminista. Pretende-se demonstrar que a caracterização da posição feminina, na escritura luftiana, aparenta-se ao conceito de Real do psicanalista francês Jacques Lacan, que o define como aquilo que não pode ser simbolizado na palavra ou na escrita e, desta forma, não cessa de não se inscrever.

Full textObjectivo: Sumariar a actual evidência da vibração corporal no equilíbrio em indivíduos idosos, contribuindo para a sistematização do conhecimento sobre esta temática. Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Knowledge e PEDro, de modo a seleccionar estudos randomizados controlados com avaliação sobre o efeito da vibração corporal no equilíbrio em idosos. Resultados: Foram incluídos 11 artigos, apresentando uma qualidade média de 5,55 em 10 na escala de PEDro. Os artigos seleccionados para este estudo utilizaram 3 diferentes plataformas de vibração, sendo que 5 dos referidos artigos utilizaram a plataforma vibratória da marca Galileo (vibração sinusoidal alternada), 5 utilizaram a plataforma vibratória da marca Power-Plate (vibração vertical sincronizada) e 1 utilizou um protótipo de uma plataforma vibratória, Sea-saw (vibração sinusoidal alternada). Conclusões: A vibração corporal parece ter um efeito positivo na melhoria do equilíbrio em idosos, podendo eventualmente contribuir para a prevenção de quedas e consequentemente na melhoria da qualidade de vida. Este método aparenta ser uma alternativa viável para pacientes idosos, independentemente da idade. Objective: To summarize the present evidence of body vibration in the balance of elderly people, therefore contributing to the systematization of our knowledge of this subject. Methods: Computer research in PubMed, Web of Knowledge and PEDro data bases, in order to select randomizes controlled trials with the evaluation of body vibration in the balance of the elderly. Results: 11 articles were considered, presenting an average quality of 5,55 in 10, regarding the PEDro scale. The selected articles for this study used 3 different vibrating platforms, 5 of the above mentioned articles used the vibrating platform brand Galileo (alternated sinusoidal vibration), other 5 used the vibrating platform brand Power-Plate (synchronized vertical vibration) and 1 used a vibrating platform prototype brand Sea-saw (alternated sinusoidal vibration). Conclusions: Body vibration seems to achieve a beneficial effect in improving balance in elderly people, eventually contributing to fall´s prevention and consequently improving life quality. This method seems to be a viable alternative for elderly patients, regardless of their age.
Warner, Theresa A. "Ficciones corporales| Cuerpo y nacion en los cuentos naturalistas hispanoamericanos." Thesis, Temple University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3611190.
Full textThis doctoral dissertation examines the intersection between body and nation in the context of Spanish American naturalist short stories from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The many forms of naturalism are useful for exploring national and societal concerns, yet most existing scholarship focuses exclusively on the naturalist novel. By combining the theories of Michel Foucault, Benedict Anderson, and Cesare Lombroso, among others, this dissertation considers the treatment of characters' bodies in their historical contexts and the larger national concerns they portray. Collections by three authors from the Southern Cone are studied: Sub terra, Baldomero Lillo (Chile, 1904); Cuentos de la Pampa, Manuel Ugarte (Argentina, 1903); and Campo, Javier de Viana (Uruguay, 1896).
The prologue introduces the theoretical framework that supports the analyses in subsequent chapters and describes the cultural context of the literary movement. It argues that the short story is a particularly useful tool for exploring this topic because, due to its brevity, characters' bodies must often relay vital information. Chapter one analyzes Sub terra and the Chilean miners it presents, studying its connection to the Chilean national body's exploitation at the hands of foreign capitalists who are solely interested in extracting its wealth of natural resources. Chapter two moves to Argentina and examines Cuentos de la Pampa, exploring those characters who reside in limbo between past and present, civilization and barbarism. Chapter three is dedicated to the study of Campo and the ways in which Javier de Viana uses the degraded gaucho body to represent the societal decay plaguing the Uruguayan countryside.
For all of these authors, naturalist short stories prove an effective means of exploring national concerns. Within the genre of short fiction, every word is of vital importance and, thus, the body frequently serves as a vessel to communicate ideas such as moral and physical decay, weakness, abuse, and excess. Characters' bodies are a microcosm of the national body as a whole, whose maladies these three authors explore in a variety of ways.

Full textThis study was based on the suppostiion that representations of the divergent body gener-ate and/or make possible the cristallization of stereotypes. These stereotypes reveal the existence of prejudices (among other attitudes) against corporeal differences and contribute to maintain stigma and manichaeistic interpretations of those differences. As a consequence of this supposition, it was assumed that it could be found, in the literature written fo child en and young people, elements, implicitly o explicitly argued, that were in acco dance with the kind of representation supposed. To investigate this empirical assumption, the present study analyzed the characteristics of 47 chosen stories, written by Brazilian authors, for child en and young people, and published from 1971 to 1991. The focuses of the analysis were the actions and the attributes of those characters whose bodies were divergent from the more usual one. A two-ply theoretical support for the analysis was sought. In one hand, it was based on the literature concerning the concepts of body. specially conside ing the issues of deviation, difference and disability. On the other hand the support was sought on the conceptual puzzle of attitudes, stereotypes and stigma. Across the criticai reading of this literature, \"the long and winding road\" travelled included the universe of meanings, anomalias, monstrosities and the grothesque appearence. It was necessary to specificate the literary genre studied and the methodological approach best fitted to the pursued goals. The units employed to analyze the corpus were the starting point of the story; the narrator; the narrativa structure; the nar ation itself and the kind of speech used; the character\'s constitutional universe; the kinds of disability and/o co poreal alteration. The characters were also analyzed in the d amatic context, considering their cha acteristics, actions and functions. The fields of attribution of the occurrences were determined at the beginning (etiology) and at the ending of these occurences. Additionally, three other issues were investigated, which are the other person\'s look to the character whose body was different and the lesses and desires of this character.

Full textObjetivo: Avaliar e quantificar o risco de diabetes gestacional (DG) conforme o índice de massa corporal (IMC) materno pré-gestacional. Desenho: Revisão sistemática dos estudos observacionais publicados nos últimos 30 anos. Método: Quatro bases de dados eletrônicas foram pesquisadas em busca de artigos publicados (1977-2007). O IMC foi selecionado como única medida de obesidade e todos os critérios diagnósticos para DG foram aceitos. Os estudos que realizaram rastreamento seletivo para DG foram excluídos. Não houve restrição de línguas. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos primários foi avaliada. Resultados: 1745 citações foram rastreadas e 70 estudos (2 não publicados) envolvendo 671,945 mulheres foram incluídos (59 coortes e 11 caso-controles). A maioria (81,4%) dos trabalhos era de média ou alta qualidade. Comparadas às mulheres com IMC normal, aquelas com IMC baixo tiveram uma razão de chances bruta (odds ratio - OR) para DG de 0,75 (IC 95% 0,69 a 0,82). Os OR para as mulheres com sobrepeso, obesidade classe I e obesidade classe II a III foram de 1,97 (IC 95% 1,77 a 2,19), 3,01 (IC 95% 2,34 a 3,87) e 5,55 (IC 95% 4,27 a 7,21), respectivamente. Para cada aumento de 1 kg/m2 no IMC, a prevalência de DG aumentou 0,92% (IC 95% 0,73 a 1,10). Conclusões: O risco de DG está diretamente associado ao IMC pré-gestacional. Esta informação é importante para o aconselhamento de mulheres que planejam engravidar.
Objective: Assess and quantify the risk for gestational diabetes (GDM) according to pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index (BMI). Design: Systematic review of observational studies published in the last 30 years. Methods: Four electronic databases were searched for publications (1977- 2007).BMI was elected as the only measure of obesity and all diagnostic criteria for GDM were accepted. Studies with selective screening for GDM were excluded. There were no language restrictions. The methodological quality of primary studies was assessed. Results: 1745 citations were screened and 70 studies (2 unpublished) involving 671,945 women were included (59 cohorts and 11 case-controls). Most studies (81.4%) were of medium or high quality. Compared to women with a normal BMI, the unadjusted pooled OR of an underweight woman developing GDM was 0.75 (95% CI 0.69 to 0.82). The OR for women with overweight, class I and class II to III obesity were 1.97 (95% CI 1.77 to 2.19), 3.01 (95% CI 2.34 to 3.87) and 5.55 (95% CI 4.27 to 7.21), respectively. For every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the prevalence of GDM increased by 0.92% (95% CI 0.73 to 1.10). Conclusions: The risk of GDM is directly associated with pre-pregnancy BMI. This information is important when counseling women planning a pregnancy.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar os poemas que compõem Memória Corporal, livro publicado por Roberto Pontes em 1982, contendo quarenta e cinco poemas produzidos ao longo do tempo e da experiência lírica do autor, apresenta uma reflexão amadurecida sobre o mais intenso sentimento humano: o amor. Francisco Roberto Silveira de Pontes Medeiros, em destaque seu nome literário, é um autor importante às letras brasileiras. Escritor atuante, Roberto Pontes produz poemas, críticas e ensaios. Atualmente é professor do Departamento de Literatura da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Integrou o Grupo SIN de Literatura, que em 1968 imprimiu novo rumo às letras do Estado do Ceará. De 1995 a 1998 foi Orientador das Oficinas de Poesia da Biblioteca Nacional no Rio de Janeiro. Ao longo do trabalho, apresentamos um estudo sobre a mentalidade e os aspectos residuais presentes nos poemas, tendo como base a Teoria da Residualidade Cultural e Literária. A Teoria da Residualidade, formulada pelo Prof. Dr. Roberto Pontes, é registrada junto à Pro - Reitoria de Pesquisa e de Pós-graduação da - Universidade Federal do Ceará e ao Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa – CNPq. Roberto Pontes empregou o termo residualidade inicialmente em sua dissertação de mestrado, hoje publicada em livro, cujo título é Poesia insubmissa afrobrasilusa (1999), para demonstrar a presença de resquícios do passado que se acumulam na mente humana e são refletidos no texto de forma involuntária através de diferentes estruturas e temáticas. A teoria aqui trabalhada parte, então, do pressuposto que na cultura e na Literatura nada é original, tudo em sua origem é um resíduo. Assim, resíduo vem a ser o compósito de sedimentos mentais que remanescem de uma cultura em outra As principais contribuições da Teoria da Residualidade são: 1. Reconhecer as mentalidades nas várias épocas e estilos fora de contribuições estanques; 2. Solucionar a perplexidade teórica dos estudiosos da cultura e da Literatura ante a complexidade estética das obras de muitos autores; 3. Equacionar a escorregadia questão da periodologia literária. Com o capítulo “Poética e Teoria Literária desenvolvidas pelo autor”, caracterizamos a produção poética de Roberto Pontes. Além disso, também comentamos os fundamentos da teoria utilizada e seus conceitos conexos: mentalidade, cristalização e hibridação cultural. O capítulo seguinte, “A poética de Memória Corporal”, expõe a análise da poética característica do poema a partir do estudo do caráter erótico da obra, bem como de seus aspectos residuais advindos da tradição bíblica de Cântico dos Cânticos e da lírica medieval trovadoresca, mais especificamente, das cantigas lírico-amorosas.

Full textThe Ph.D. research project is based on a wide qualitative study aimed at building a theoretical framework of the communication processes along the SC identifying how communication supports strategic and operational SCM and providing managerial insights on how to make an effective and efficient use of communication resources over time. The project emphasizes how relationships and processes are affected by communication flows, depicting the links among SC processes, communication and SC performance dimensions. More specifically, the project methodological design is articulated in three subsequent interrelated research phases: 1. a systematic and critical literature review on SC and communication providing a focused analysis of the international debate on SC relationship-based processes highlighting communication as an enabler of social, information and physical flows among SC partners; 2. a two-step exploratory inductive-deductive study aimed at building a preliminary conceptual mapping of communication roles and channels supporting strategic and operational SCM; a comprehensive Grounded Theory (GT) study designed according to emergent insights from both the preliminary inductive-deductive analysis carried out and an in depth empirical research investigating widespread SC communication representations, practices and aspirations.

Full textLiteracy is inextricably connected with the practise of any academic discipline. The skill to properly use the linguistic register and rhetorical conventions of the research genre is important to achieve academic success and professional development in researcher careers. This is why, when students join a research community they have to become proficient not only in the lexical-grammatical characteristics of academic language, but also in the specific discursive conventions of each disciplinary community. The present dissertation has two general aims. Firstly, the creation of a corpus of academic research projects written in Catalan, from Baccalaureate and University Master Degrees, in the fields of biology and history. This corpus is called TARBUC (Treballs Acadèmics de Recerca de Batxillerat i Universitat en Català)1 and has been digitised so as to be available to the research community. Secondly, by using this corpus, I have attempted to characterise the development of academic writing at different stages throughout students’ school lifetime. For this reason I am presenting two studies. In the first of these, I transversally compare a corpus of research projects written in Catalan from Baccalaureate and end of University Master in the fields of biology and history. In study 2, I longitudinally compare end of University Master research projects, again in Catalan, with biology articles published in English. Specifically, I characterise the register and meta-discourse. When analysing the register I use the following lexical-grammatical features: (i) lexical diversity, (ii) lexical density and (iii) syntactic complexity. Regarding meta-discourse, I examine the meta-discursive interactional function through linguistic markers, which indicate, on the one hand, the authorial voice as self-representation in writing, that is, stance, and, on the other, those markers used by the writer to involve the reader, that is, engagement. The results of these implications are discussed in linguistic, cognitive and socio-cultural terms and suggest that ability to adequately display linguistic register and rhetorical conventions in accordance with a specific disciplinary community is in itself a lengthy process. 1 Baccalaureate and University Academic Research Reports written in Catalan.

Full textMany companies have a large assortment, where most are incapable of correctly handling their products. Result of such assortment usually is overload of customers with an abundance of options. Every company needs to question themselves how to handle their assortment when customers has to many choices to pick. In this situation assortment reduction helps to increase efficiency and profitability of organizations. A well-planned assortment is an important factor for the customers purchase decision as too many choices in the assortment can lead to overload. This study is a thesis written with the purpose of developing factors and processes to take into account for a products assortment reduction at a producing company. This study is limited to studying product assortment reduction at a Swedish company that manufactures office furniture. The purpose and questions are answered through four semi-structured interviews and a study visit accompanied by employees with relevant knowledge to thesis. In the method, abduction has been adopted as a scientific approach. A theoretical frame of reference was developed through literature searches through databases and books, which were the discussed in a comparison with the compiled empirical data that were analyzed and discussed. The study´s conclusion showed which factors and processes companies should take into account in an assortment reduction. The factors developed were assortment depth and breadth, corporate image, flexibility, category management, implementing modular and standard products. By integrating these factors, companies can make a reduction effective. The study showed three processes using models with regard to product assortment reduction that could be implemented in companies. These models are the ABC-analysis, Porters five forces and the assortment planning model. By integrating the various factors and processes for product assortment reduction, the company can make a profitable reduction in the assortment.
