A mitotic role for BRCA1/BARD1 in tumor suppression? (2006)
Journal Article

The tumor-suppressor protein BRCA1 is thought to act by preserving genomic integrity. In this issue of Cell, Joukov et al. (2006) demonstrate that the BRCA1/BARD1 heterodimer participates in mitotic spindle assembly, a process conducted by the GTPase...

Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects (2006)
Journal Article

This paper puts forth the somewhat controversial position that what is needed to improve project management in practice is not more research on what should be done or the frequency and/or use of traditional project management practices. We argue that... Read More about Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects.

The importance of 'process' in Rethinking Project Management: The story of a UK Government-funded research network (2006)
Journal Article

This paper tells the story of a UK Government-funded research network called Rethinking Project Management, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council between 2004 and 2006. The story is significant because of the considerable a... Read More about The importance of 'process' in Rethinking Project Management: The story of a UK Government-funded research network.

The threat to core competence posed by developing closer supply chain relationships (2006)
Journal Article

Supply bases have been rationalised and now fewer “preferred” suppliers are in direct contact with customers, who demand more personal attention and greater responsiveness from them. In developing closer supplier relationships, the exchange of propri... Read More about The threat to core competence posed by developing closer supply chain relationships.

In search of gazelles using a research DNA model (2006)
Journal Article

Though considerable attention in the extant literature has been devoted to growth and performance of firms, there is a dearth of research on rapidly growing and high-performance companies or gazelles, in small to medium sized firms. This paper examin... Read More about In search of gazelles using a research DNA model.

The impact of transformational leadership on project success: An empirical study using structural equation modeling across twenty-eight nations (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper documents an empirical analysis of leadership study on project management practices, one that examines 153 projects across 28 nations through a two-phase research study. During phase one, I studied 46 projects involving 14 nations; during...

Nup214-Nup88 nucleoporin subcomplex is required for CRM1-mediated 60 S preribosomal nuclear export (2006)
Journal Article

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) conducts macromolecular transport to and from the nucleus and provides a kinetic/hydrophobic barrier composed of phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeats. Nuclear transport is achieved through permeation of this barrier by tr... Read More about Nup214-Nup88 nucleoporin subcomplex is required for CRM1-mediated 60 S preribosomal nuclear export.

Journal Article

This paper aims to highlight the underlying factors that contribute to the effective management of a global supply chain from the perspective of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Global competition has placed considerable pressure on SMEs t... Read More about Managing the global supply chain: A SME perspective1.

High resolution analysis of mammalian nuclear structure throughout the cell cycle: Implications for nuclear pore complex assembly during interphase and mitosis (2006)
Journal Article

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the gateways for both active and passive bidirectional molecular transport between the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm. These mega-dalton assemblies are composed of multiple copies of approximately 30 distinct proteins ter...
