A Nottingham County Surveyor, Edgar Purnell Hooley, discovered tarmac by accident in the early 20th century. He found a barrel of tar had spilled onto the road at a local ironworks. This had mixed with waste slag from the furnaces. The result was a dust-free, strong surface. Hooley created and patented the product that could take the weight of the new automobile. In 1903 the Tarmacadam syndicate was formed, its name taken from the developer of the road construction system, John MacAdam. The Tarmac Group is now a large and complex company and is organised into three businesses: 1) Tarmac Quarry Materials – ready mixed concrete, asphalt, aggregates, lime, cement and contracting services 2) Tarmac Building Products – mortar, screed, masonry, packed and 3) Precast products International. This case study focuses on how the people in Tarmac Quarry Materials deliver the highest value for customers, communities, employees and investors. Read more...

Why Taj Employees Offered Their Lives to Save Guests During Terrorist Attack

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:13:38 +0000

Under terrorist attack, employees of the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower bravely stayed at their posts to help guests. A new multimedia case by Harvard Business School professor Rohit Deshpandé looks at the hotel's customer-centered culture and value system. Key concepts include: * Underlying the case is a central conundrum: Why did the Taj employees stay at their posts, jeopardizing their safety in order to save hotel guests? And is this level of loyalty and dedication something that can be replicated and scaled elsewhere? * Taj employees carry a sense of loyalty to the hotel, and a sense of responsibility to the guests. * In India and the developing world, there's a much more paternalistic equation between employer and employee that creates a kinship. Long length of service is recognized and rewarded by top management. Read the case. For discussions on this case & reader comments refer hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6602.html

Want to Lead a Business Revolution? Study the Real Thing

Thomas A. Stewart is the chief marketing and knowledge officer of Booz & Company, a leading global management consulting firm. Opinions expressed in this blog are his and may not be those of the firm. Formerly the editor and managing director of Harvard Business Review, Stewart is the author of Intellectual Capital: The New Wealth of Organizations and The Wealth of Knowledge; Intellectual Capital and the 21st Century Organization. Though the rhetoric’s false, you can find some truly smart ideas by taking it literally. Real revolutionaries know that you can’t just topple the old regime; you have to prevent its coming back. Noel Tichy, the University of Michigan leadership expert, worked closely with Jack Welch early in his tenure as the CEO of General Electric. Welch immediately put his stamp on three GE functions: communications, executive education (Tichy ran GE’s leadership development center, now named for Welch), and the corporate audit staff. As Tichy told me, “All good revolutionaries know that you can’t win unless you seize control of the broadcasting stations, the schools, and the police.” So what’s that mean?
