In a paper presented at a conference on Manitoba politics in fall 2008, education professor Rodney Clifton argued that the U of M needs to recognize students are "price-conscious customers" and should be treated accordingly. What this suggests, Clifton argues, is that deans and department heads of favoured faculties have been very successful at "rent-seeking." They are able to secure a disproportionate level of funding from the university central administration, compared to less favoured faculties, in order to reduce their student-teacher ratios and put more resources into teaching graduate students. Clifton also advocates the heretical notion that students be "empowered" and pay the proportion of their tuition that goes toward teaching directly to their own faculty, rather than to the ...

A carbon tax and a cap-and-trade program both put a price on pollution -- they're much more similar than Mr. [Jack Layton] suggests," said Clare Demerse, a senior climate change policy analyst at the Pembina Institute. "Our poll does support Mr. Layton's call for investments in energy efficiency programs like home retrofits, but it also shows that Canadians want those investments to be in addition to carbon tax programs like BC's. Canadians understand the urgency of global warming and they see that we need both approaches. The federal Liberals and the Green party both support a cap and trade system, but are also proposing to introduce a "tax-shifting" policy that would impose a carbon tax for everyone in the economy, including consumers, that would be offset by reductions in other are...

Materials used by businesses for both production (direct) and accompanying administrative or operational (indirect) activities can be purchased via both offline and also online methods, such as electronic marketplaces (e-Marketplaces). Our paper examines the performance of such online e-Marketplaces under different types of governance structure (market or relational) and over time. This examination allows us to understand better the dynamic relationship between governance and purchasing performance. This provides important results for management in a variety of locations and over different times and stages of operations.
