Developing the evidence base for UK film strategy: the research process at the UK Film Council     

David Steele 《Cultural Trends》2004,13(4):5-21

The UK Film Council established a Research and Statistics Unit in order to gather data relating to film to inform the development of UK Film Council strategy and to provide an information service to the industry, government, the arts and cultural sector and the wider research community. The Research and Statistics Unit draws data from both official and unofficial sources and commissions its own special-purpose studies to gather information relevant to the strategic objectives of the Council. Key tasks are the measurement of the size of the market for film and the various elements of the film value chain, the performance of films supported by the UK Film Council and the performance of UK films in general. Special-purpose research projects currently include a detailed survey of the film production workforce, a study of the economic impact of the UK screen industries and studies of the social impact of local cinemas and the experience of Black- and Minority-led film production companies. A range of industry and official partners are collaborating in these studies. The Research and Statistics Unit also provides statistical and policy analysis relating to the wider policy environment of UK film, including issues such as the future of film tax incentives. This analysis has been developed within the HM Treasury ‘Green Book’ framework with particular reference to understanding market failure in relation to film. Central to the market failure argument is the cultural value of film in both its qualitative and its quantitative aspects. UK Film Council research is placed in the context of the literature on hedonic pricing and contingent valuation. The industrial challenges of increasing cultural value are discussed. Finally, consideration is given to the potential of film to contribute directly to ‘public value’.  相似文献   

The publishing imperative: the pervasive influence of publication metrics     

Colin Steele  Linda Butler  Danny Kingsley 《Learned Publishing》2006,19(4):277-290

This article summarizes the effects of the increasing global trend towards measuring research quality and effectiveness through, in particular, publication‐based metrics, and its effects on scholarly communication. Such metrics are increasingly influencing the behaviour patterns of administrators, publishers, librarians, and researchers. Impact and citation measures, which often rely solely on Thomson Scientific data, are examined in the context of university league tables and research assessment exercises. The need to establish alternate metrics, particularly for the social sciences and humanities, is emphasized, as is an holistic approach to scholarly communication agenda.  相似文献   

Quantitative Research Attitudes and Research Training Perceptions Among Master's‐Level Students     

Jane M. Steele  Glinda J. Rawls 《Counselor Education & Supervision》2015,54(2):134-146

This study explored master's‐level counseling students' (N = 804) perceptions of training in the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs ( 2009 ) Research and Program Evaluation standard, and their attitudes toward quantitative research. Training perceptions and quantitative research attitudes were low to moderate, with no statistical differences across program accreditation or specialty area. Implications and possibilities for future research are discussed.  相似文献

Making the Case for Early Identification and Intervention for Young Children at Risk for Learning Disabilities     

Marcee M. Steele 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2004,32(2):75-79

The early identification of children with learning disabilities (LD) is difficult but can be accomplished. Observation of key behaviors which are indicators of LD by preschool and kindergarten teachers can assist in this process. This early identification facilitates the use of intervention strategies to provide a positive early experience for children at risk for academic difficulties.  相似文献   

抓住潜在顾客

不要忽略那些接近潜在顾客的机会,你完全有机会将随便看看的顾客转化为实际购买者。去年秋天,我四处寻找iPad保护套。我在Twitter和Facebook上征询他人的意见,当时有人建议我到Dodocase的网站上看看,这家公司采用美国最传统的书籍装订技术生产iPad保护套,他们生产的Moleskine笔记本如雷贯耳。  相似文献   

担负正确的责任     

Michael Porter 《职业圈》2014,(31):80-81

主张企业承担社会责任的人士所援引的理由,概括起来有四个方面,即道德义务、可持续发展、经营许可和企业声誉。所谓道德义务,就是认为企业有责任做一个良好的企业公民,并且“做正确的事”。这种诉求在商务社会责任协会（美国在社会责任领域内最大的非营利性企业协会）的目标中有明确体现。该组织要求它的成员“用尊重道德观念,尊重人类、社区和自然环境的方式取得商业上的成功”,可持续发展强调的是企业对环境和社区负责。  相似文献
