The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s mission is to work with the Legislature, Governor, governing boards, higher education institutions, and other entities to help Texas meet the goals of the state’s higher education plan, Closing the Gaps by 2015, and thereby provide the people of Texas the widest access to higher education of the highest quality in the most efficient manner. Philosophy of the Coordinating Board The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will promote access to quality higher education across the state with the conviction that access without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access is unacceptable. The Board will be open, ethical, responsive, and committed to public service. The Board will approach its work with a sense of purpose and responsibility to the people of Texas and is committed to the best use of public monies. The Coordinating Board will engage in actions that add value to Texas and to higher education. The agency will avoid efforts that do not add value or that are duplicated by other entities.

Whether to standardize or adapt marketing operations in international markets is the major decision companies marketing their products or services overseas need to make. This decision concerns firms beginning to market in foreign countries and those already operating internationally that are considering expanding into additional markets. Despite significant research on this topic over the last three decades, there are significant knowledge gaps that still persist: (1) do companies operating internationally favor a standardized or adaptive strategy, (2) is the level of standardization or adaptation consistent across the various elements of firms ’ marketing mixes and (3) what are the internal and external factors that drive companies ’ standardization/adaptation decision? A survey of 154 companies marketing food products internationally was conducted to address these issues. The results of this study call into question some of the most widely-accepted notions concerning the deployment of firms ’ standardization/adaptation strategies and the factors supposedly related to this decision for companies marketing non-durable consumer products internationally. Possible explanations for these surprising findings are offered as are recommendations as to what future research needs to be done so that a more insightful understanding of this important international topic can be achieved.

Most trees experience shock after transplanting because of the disturbance to the root system. In balled and burlapped transplants, it is estimated that 4 to 9 percent of the original root system and about 2 percent of the soil volume occupied by the root system in the nursery is contained in the root ball. Trees try to keep a balance between the above-ground portion of the tree and the root system (Perry 1982). When the amount of the root system is reduced during transplanting, the above-ground portion of the tree is also affected. The tree either is stimulated to regenerate more roots to balance the top, or the top partially dies back, or both so that the shoots and the roots establish equilibrium. Thus, transplanting success depends primarily on the
