Downsizing 1 Downsizing Effects on Survivors: Layoffs, Offshoring & Outsourcing

In a representative sample of 13,683 U.S. employees, we compared survivors of layoffs, offshoring, outsourcing, and their combinations to a group who experienced no downsizing. Survivors of layoffs perceived lower organizational performance, job security, affective attachment, calculative attachment, and had higher turnover intentions than the comparison. Offshoring survivors perceived lower pe...

Magnetoencephalography: From SQUIDs to neuroscience

a r t i c l e i n f o Magnetoencephalography (MEG), with its direct view to the cortex through the magnetically transparent skull, has developed from its conception in physics laboratories to a powerful tool of basic and clinical neu-roscience. MEG provides millisecond time resolution and allows real-time tracking of brain activation sequences during sensory processing, motor planning and actio...

Surviving Defense Downsizing

Six years after Congress began reducing defense outlays, small California machine shops and aircraft parts suppliers remain highly dependent on the aerospace industry. Many firms in these two segments of the state's small defense aerospace supplier base have not branched into production of cutting-edge products for commercial customers. And other firms in these segments also may face shortages ...
