This paper focuses on change in the automotive supply chain, that is, those firms in the industry such as Chrysler or Ford that assemble the vehicles, and those firms that are their suppliers. The data come from in-depth interviews with 26 senior executives in North American automotive companies, from a survey of 175 firms in the North American automotive industry, and from sessions with an advisory board of representatives of leading automotive industry companies. The particular topic in the research reported below is the differentiation of the supply chain into four broad categories, with on-going change in the proportion of all firms in each category. Emphasis is given to understanding the factors driving the differentiation. The changes are interpreted in terms of both firm-level and industry-level factors. At the firm level, explanations draw mainly upon agency theory and transaction cost economics. At the industry level, explanations are grounded primarily in the increasing competition and globalization among all the firms and in the types of networks that link firms in the industry. The changes and their underlying causes allow certain predictions: there will likely be few if any new automotive assemblers in North America in the near future, and only a few new suppliers of the first rank, known as system integrators. Of the two other types of firms, direct suppliers will decrease in number, and indirect suppliers will become more numerous. The process of differentiation will continue at least until 2005. Furthermore, the number of customers each type of supplier serves will decrease, and the type of relationship between the assemblers and both system integrators and direct suppliers is likely to become both more long-term and more complex.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"7 1","pages":"Pages 59-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1068-8595(99)80122-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56460271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the current study was to test the effects of a model of variables on domestic violence, including flood impact, the emotional symptoms, as well as other intervening variables which might act as a buffer against the effects of flood impact. Results of this cross-sectional survey of 140 Grand Forks adults indicated that domestic violence was significantly greater among respondents after the flood. Flood impact led to increased levels of anxiety, depression, and hostility. Whether these emotional symptoms subsequently led to increased domestic violence depended on the level of social support, the age of the respondent, and whether he/she had a history of domestic violence before the flood. Those with lower social support, the elderly, and those with a prior history of violence were most affected. The results have implications for work with the elderly, with domestic violence treatment and prevention programs, and with communities affected by flood.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"7 2","pages":"Pages 199-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1068-8595(00)80020-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56458894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The COR model proposes that threatened or actual loss of valued resources leads to psychological distress. This study tested the hypothesis that <em>threatened</em> resource loss would predict distress during the early stages of a natural disaster, the Red River flood of 1997. Faculty and staff of a Midwestern university were surveyed. The questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, perceived threat to safety and risk of being impacted by the flood, threatened loss of resources, and distress (i.e., negative mood, stress-related physical symptoms, and psychological symptoms). A total of 377 university employees completed the survey (response rate = 22%). Hierarchical multiple regressions were performed to test the relative power of demographics, potential disaster impact, and threatened resource loss in predicting distress. Across three measures of distress, demographic characteristics and disaster exposure explained a small but significant proportion of the variance (R<sup>2</sup>s = .06 to .16). Adding resource loss to the equations significantly increased the prediction of distress (R<sup>2</sup> change = .18, .25, and .31, for physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, and negative mood, respectively). Thus, potential loss of valued resources was a useful predictor of distress for persons living in a community threatened by an impending natural disaster.
