“…I do not claim that power can be fully understood absent reference to preferences. The definition of power used here focuses on "control over events and outcomes" Hart (1976). I agree with Brams (1985, p. 107, note 6) that "a complete definition of power must include both preferences and outcomes.. .that is, power is the causation of outcomes by preferences."…”

“…Yum! Brands operations show an appreciation of the relationship between an emerging economic power, growing national pride and self-esteem, long established by scholars such as Hart (1976), Kwong (1994) and Douglass (2000). We see for example various initiatives by Yum!…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the key practical factors that confront global businesses as they attempt to improve all aspects of their operations including emerging areas of the customer experience. The paper focuses on the way various organisational capabilities such as information systems/information technology have been adopted in order to provide an enhanced operational and strategic control over key areas of business. Design/methodology/approach -The paper adopts a case-based participation observation study which explores the global operations of a major restaurant brand. This approach enables it to explore several concepts which examine the behaviour of global operations at a time of major change. Findings -The paper has focused on the application of change principles in the restaurant and hospitality industry and its importance for business performance and marketing strategy. The paper shows how adapting business strategy to incorporate key cultural sensitivities can pay major dividends for organisations. This strategy appears to be contrary to the general approach of standardisation adopted by other franchises in this key market sector. Research limitations/implications -It will be necessary to increase the range of this research to ensure any real certainty regarding its implications. Originality/value -The paper identifies a number of interesting changes to preconceived ideas of standardising product portfolios in the restaurant sector. It shows the need for a balanced "mix" of menu products to satisfy local and national requirements.

“…For example, territory and population were considered as the most obvious and available indicators to represent power [8]. Other variables, such as gross domestic product (GDP), armed forces personnel, military expenditure, and resource and energy consumption were also frequently employed in empirical studies [9,10]. Single indicators have the advantage of simplicity.…”

This paper presents a new perspective of national power-sustainable national power (SNP)-emphasizing both the traditional comprehensive national power (CNP) and social and environmental sustainability. We propose a measurement to quantify the SNP based on the measurement of comprehensive national power and a sustainable adjusted index. In addition, density-equalizing maps are adopted to visualize the sustainable national power of countries in order to gain a better understanding for its current state and future development from a cartographic perspective. China and its neighboring countries are selected as a case study area. The results show that China outperforms other countries in most of the CNP dimensions but performs poorly in various SNP-adjusted dimensions within the study area. The composite score shows that China is with the highest regional SNP, followed by Japan, Russia, South Korea and India. Furthermore, time series of cartograms reveal evidence showing power transitions among countries. In addition, the effectiveness of cartograms for cartographic communication is discussed.
