September, 1980, on the campus of the University of Strathclyde (hosted by the Department of Shipbuilding and Naval Architecture). The School offers a choice oftwoout of the following three modules: Week 1 : Key Topics in Ship Production Week 2: Computer Applications in Production a Modern Management Techniques b and the aim is that participants will develop techniques of analysis which will lead to greater efficiency at a time when this is of paramount importance if yards are to remain in production. To this end, the outstanding features of the programme are the emphasis on case-study, and the opportunities for interaction, both amongst the participants themselves and with experts drawn from much of Western Europe. Active co-operation from local industry and related services will provide opportunities for relevant plant-visits. All teaching will be in English. WEGEMT (West European Graduate Education in Marine Technology) is a recently formed organisation to pool facilities for short-term specialised training at post-graduate level for young graduates and also more experienced staff in shipbuilding and marine technology generally. Previous Schools have covered "Advanced Aspects of Offshore Engineering", and "Advanced Ship Design Techniques", and others are planned on "Ocean Transportation" and "Ice Technology". Representatives from six countries in Western Europe are sharing with the U.K. in planning the September 1980 programme. Module 1 of this School will consider Management Styles and various aspects of Production. Module 2(a) deals comprehensively with Computing in this field, while Module 2(b) focuses on the important issues of Corporate Strategy, Finance, Marketing and Industrial Relations. Each module is complete in itself but preference will be given to those who apply for the two weeks. Enquiries should be addressed to: The Secretary, WEGEMT Graduate School Dept. of Shipbuilding & Naval Architecture Livingstone Tower University of Stratchclyde GLASGOW G1 1XH Scotland TEL: 041-552 4400 Ext. 3907 TLX: 77472
Seminar on Management and Management Information Sys. terns in the Chemical Industry Varna (Bulgaria) - S e p t e m b e r 2 2 - 2 6 , 1980 The Seminar on Management and Management Information Systems in the Chemical Industry is organized by the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nation's Organization. The seminar will be held from 22 to 26 September 1980 at the Cherno More (Black Sea) Hotel in Varna, Bulgaria. During the seminar an excursion will be organised to the Chemical Complex "Devnja" in the town of Devnja (about 20 km from Varna).
Objectives The purpose of the Seminar is to consider: the state-of-the-art in the field of management theory, the results from applying modern methods of management, and specific examples of the use of management information systems in the chemical industry. The Seminar is means to provide a forum for the exchange of information and views, to increase the efficiency of various methods and systems of management used and to be used, for the future development of the chemical industry, as welt as its markets in the ECE member countries. During the preparatory meeting it was suggested that an opportunity should be provided to discuss the role of innovation in the management of the chemical industry and this has been done by including a special session to follow the afternoon working session of September 24th.
Participation Participation in the Seminar is open to interested persons from countries of the ECE approved by their Governments, or, under the relevant articles of the terms of reference of the ECE, other member governments of the United Nations, representatives of specialized agencies, intergovernmental, international and non-governmental organizations normally participating in activities of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
