Full textThe American healthcare system is being overwhelmed with chronic illnesses. These illnesses account for a significant amount of total healthcare expenditures. Medicare/Medicaid and Managed Care Organizations (MCO’s) are seeking innovative treatment at cost savings. Disease Management (DM) is an intervention intended to reduce healthcare expenditures and advance the quality of life for persons with chronic conditions by preventing or reducing the effects of the disease through integrated care. Companion Pet Therapy 4 U is proposing Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) which is a fluctuating set of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities that are considered to be unconventional. This approach utilizes a combination of Alternative Therapy (AT) and Disease Management (DM) home care services to elderly chronically ill homebound patients. A companion dog/ trainer and a care coordinator/nurse will visit homebound patients, review patient care plans, and educate patients on DM. Companion Pet Therapy 4 U will reduce healthcare expenditures, produce cost savings by empowering chronically ill homebound elderly patients to become pro-active in the treatment process.

Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are social, ground-dwelling rodents native to North American short- and mixed-grass prairie. They are also the main prey of the Federally-endangered black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes). At the same time, prairie dog colonization is highly opposed by most agricultural landowners. Therefore nonlethal population management techniques must be investigated. This paper presents the results of research on the effectiveness of ungrazed vegetative barriers composed of native plants at limiting prairie dog dispersal away from a ferret reintroduction site in northwest Kansas. Data was collected on barrier quality and condition as well as estimates of population densities of immigrant prairie dogs, dispersing through the vegetative barrier to reoccupy previously extirpated colonies on properties surrounding the ferret reintroduction site. Using strip transects and aboveground visual counts to estimate population densities and visual obstruction ranking techniques to sample barrier condition, statistical analysis of the data indicated that while barrier condition increased over time, it was not effective at limiting prairie dog emigration from the black-footed ferret reintroduction site.

Full textPrimary neoplasms of the adrenal gland might represent more than 1-2% of all canine tumours and can originate various worrisome clinical presentations; hence why adrenalectomy is generally the treatment of choice. Identification of prognostic factors with occasional uncertainty or contradictions among different authors renders further investigations welcomed. A retrospective study was conducted in 16 dogs undergoing adrenalectomy with the aim to describe the clinical features, surgical management and outcome. Review of clinical records and interviews with owners and veterinarians involved were performed to register clinical variables, such as, signalment, relevant history, clinical signs, laboratory, imaging and surgical findings, histopathology results, and outcome. The median survival time was calculated through Kaplan-Meier estimate. Intra- (92%) and postoperative (67%) complications, and perioperative mortality (31%) rates were comparable to recent studies; as was the median survival time (419 days), with 64% of long-term survivors living for more than 1 year, up to 3 years, approximately. This case series emphasizes that if dogs survive the immediate perioperative period, long-term outcome is generally good with possibility of prolonged survival times, as local or distant tumour recurrence appears to be low. This study also promotes awareness of adrenal incidentalomas (25%) and emergency clinical presentations (19%). Outcome predictors such as age of patients with phaeochromocytomas, size of tumour, surgeon’s experience in dealing with caval invasion, presence of metastasis at surgery, acute adrenal haemorrhage, major intraoperative haemorrhage, and postoperative disseminated intravascular coagulopathy must be considered in the approach to these cases.
RESUMO - MANEIO CIRÚRGICO E RESULTADO APÓS ADRENALECTOMIA: UM ESTUDO RETROSPETIVO DE CASOS EM 16 CÃES (2008-2018). - Neoplasias primárias das glândulas adrenais poderão representar mais do que 1-2% de todos os tumores caninos e podem originar vários quadros clínicos preocupantes; e por isso é que a adrenalectomia é geralmente o tratamento de escolha. A identificação de fatores de prognóstico com incerteza ou contradições ocasionais entre diversos autores ditam que investigações adicionais sejam bem-vindas. Um estudo retrospetivo foi conduzido em 16 cães submetidos a adrenalectomia, para descrever o quadro clínico, maneio e resultado cirúrgico. Foi feita a revisão de historiais clínicos e entrevistas a donos e veterinários envolvidos de forma a registar variáveis clínicas como identificação do animal, historial relevante, sinais clínicos, achados laboratoriais, imagiológicos e cirúrgicos, resultados de histopatologia, e resultado. A mediana dos tempos de sobrevivência foi calculada através da estimativa de Kaplan-Meier. As taxas de complicações intra- (92%) e pós-cirúrgicas (67%), e de mortalidade (31%) foram comparáveis a estudos recentes; assim como o tempo mediano de sobrevivência (419 dias), com 64% dos sobreviventes a longo prazo a viveram por mais de 1 ano, até 3 anos, aproximadamente. Esta série de casos enfatiza que se os cães sobreviverem o período peri-cirúrgico imediato, o resultado a longo prazo é geralmente bom com possibilidade de tempos de sobrevivência prolongados, uma vez também que a taxa de recorrência local ou distante aparenta ser baixa. Este estudo promove também a consciencialização de incidentalomas das adrenais (25%) e de quadros clínicos de emergência (19%). Fatores de prognóstico tais como idade dos pacientes com feocromocitomas, tamanho do tumor, experiência do cirurgião em lidar com invasão da veia cava, presença de metástases na altura da cirurgia, hemorragia aguda adrenal, hemorragia intra-cirúrgica de maior importância, e coagulopatia intravascular disseminada pós-cirúrgica, devem ser considerados na abordagem a estes casos.

Full textThe acute abdomen syndrome is characterized by an acute onset of abdominal pain, usually associated with general signs such as vomiting, diarrhoea, postural and gait changes, anorexia, lethargy and shock. Success results from a proactive approach to management, including rapid stabilization of major body systems, early identification of the inciting problem(s), attention to comorbid conditions, and timely definitive therapy. Herewith comes decision making, whether to take a patient to surgery or manage the patient medically. A thorough and systematic approach requires the use of diagnostic imaging modalities, including radiology and ultrasonography, performing diagnostic peritoneal lavage or abdominal paracentesis techniques, and blood work evaluation, including complete blood count and biochemistry profiles. In some cases, the results of diagnostic tests may lead to surgical versus medical management, particularly when a patient fails to respond to medical management alone. In other cases, rapid surgical management is necessary for patient survival. Also it must take into account the capabilities and equipment of the clinic, as well as the staff skills. This may be extremely effortful, time-consuming and expensive so the owners must be informed about the prognosis for survival as they frequently face the dilemma of euthanasia. In an attempt to make more valid prognostic assessment in cases of acute abdomen syndrome, many individual predictive factors and univariable analysis where investigated. A retrospective study was carried out on 28 dogs presented with acute abdomen. Medical records were reviewed and information regarding dog signalment, history, clinical and laboratory data, surgical findings and outcome was collected. After analysis, several easily measurable parameters were found to be outcome predictors in dogs with acute abdomen, these being creatinine and alkaline phosphatase values, skin tent evaluation and dehydration.
RESUMO - ABORDAGEM, MANEIO E PREVISÃO DE PROGNÓSTICO NA SÍNDROME DE ABDÓMEN AGUDO EM CÃES. ESTUDO DE PREVISORES DE PROGNÓSTICO EM 28 CASOS - A síndrome de abdómen agudo é caracterizada por dor abdominal de início repentino, normalmente associada a sinais clínicos gerais tais como vómito, diarreia, alterações de postura e equilíbrio, anorexia, letargia e choque. O sucesso na resolução desta síndrome resulta de uma abordagem proactiva ao maneio médico, incluindo estabilização rápida dos sistemas vitais, rápida identificação, atenção a situações concomitantes e terapia definitiva realizada atempadamente. Posto isto, a decisão de submeter o paciente a cirurgia ou de o tratar conservativamente tem de ser tomada. Uma abordagem completa e sistemática passa pela imagiologia, incluindo raio-x e ecografia, lavagem peritoneal diagnóstica ou abdominocentese, e análises sanguíneas, incluindo hemograma e bioquímicas. Por vezes, os resultados dos testes diagnósticos podem levar ao maneio médico versus o cirúrgico, especialmente quando não há resposta à terapêutica conservativa por parte do paciente. Noutros casos, o maneio cirúrgico urgente é necessário para a sobrevivência do doente. É também necessário ter em consideração as capacidades e equipamento do centro de atendimento médico veterinário, bem como as competências dos veterinários responsáveis. Isto pode ser extremamente trabalhoso, demorado e caro para os proprietários, devendo estes ser informados acerca do prognóstico, visto que muitas das vezes deparam-se com o dilema da eutanásia. Na tentativa de tornar a avaliação prognóstica mais eficaz na síndrome de abdómen agudo, foram avaliados previsores individuais de prognóstico e realizada a respetiva análise univariada. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo em 28 cães que se apresentaram com abdómen agudo. A anamnese foi feita e a informação sobre os sinais clínicos, os dados do exame físico e laboratoriais, os achados das cirurgias e prognóstico foram colhidos. Após análise, alguns parâmetros facilmente mensuráveis, mostraram contribuir para a previsão do prognóstico em cães com abdómen agudo, sendo estes os valores de creatinina e fosfatase alcalina, a avaliação da prega de pele e a desidratação do animal.

Full textO otohematoma canino é uma entidade clínica comum em Medicina Veterinária. Este caracteriza-se como uma tumefacção flutuante, tensa e por vezes dolorosa, que varia em tamanho e posição. Embora se possa encontrar em ambas as faces da orelha, geralmente, localiza-se apenas na superfície côncava. Os principais factores predisponentes do otohematoma que têm sido investigados são o tipo de orelha, a raça, a idade, o sexo e presença de outras afecções concomitantes. A importância da otite externa, do trauma, da hipersensibilidade e das alterações imunológicas e degenerativas na patogénese desta afecção é controversa. Têm sido usados vários métodos cirúrgicos e conservativos no tratamento do otohematoma canino, com resultados variáveis. Realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo, utilizando os dados recolhidos das fichas clínicas de 24 cães com otohematoma, diagnosticado no período entre 6 de Janeiro de 2003 e 1 de Agosto de 2008, visando estabelecer um padrão epidemiológico do otohematoma canino na população estudada. O sexo masculino foi o mais afectado, com 70,8% dos casos e a faixa etária mais representada foi a dos 3 aos 9 anos de idade (69,4%). A raça Indeterminada obteve maior incidência de otohematomas (20,4%), seguindo-se a raça Serra da Estrela (16,9%) e a Labrador Retriver (12,7%). A maioria dos animais afectados apresentou um peso corporal superior a 25 Kg (58,3%). Quanto à distribuição temporal, obtiveram-se 3 picos de maior incidência de otohematomas, que corresponderam aos meses de Janeiro, Setembro e Novembro. A otite externa associada ao otohematoma foi diagnosticada em 45,8% dos animais e a dermatite atópica em 8,3%. Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo sugerem que o otohematoma canino tem como factores de risco: a idade adulta, o porte elevado do animal, orelhas do tipo pendente e existência de factores passíveis de desencadear traumas auriculares. Foram, ainda, avaliadas retrospectivamente 3 técnicas terapêuticas quanto à sua eficácia e prognóstico. Dos 4 casos tratados por aspiração com agulha e injecção local de corticóides, 3 recidivaram e o resultado estético foi bom em todos. Quanto às técnicas cirúrgicas, a que envolve a incisão, drenagem e sutura com esponja obteve 25% de recidivas, e a que recorre à incisão, drenagem e sutura com botões resultou em 16,7% de recidivas. O resultado estético só não foi positivo num dos casos resolvidos através de cirurgia com botões, em que ocorreu espessamento da orelha. Esta última técnica foi a que originou mais complicações. Nos 5 casos em que não se efectuou tratamento do otohematoma, ocorreu fibrose e espessamento da orelha.
ABSTRACT - CANINE AURAL HEMATOMA: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND TERAPHEUTIC Canine aural hematoma is a common condition in veterinary medicine. It is a floating, tense and sometimes painful swelling, which changes in size and position. Although it can be found on both aspects of the ear, usually is located only on the concave surface. Main factors that may predispose to aural hematoma are type of ear, breed, age, sex and presence of other concurrent diseases. The importance of otitis externa, trauma, hypersensitivity, immunological changes and degenerative diseases in the pathogenesis of this condition is controversial. It has been used several conservative and surgical methods in the treatment of canine aural hematoma, with different results. It was performed a retrospective study, using data collected from clinical bulletin of 24 dogs with aural hematoma diagnosed between January 6, 2003 to August 1, 2008, to establish an epidemiological pattern of canine aural hematoma in studed population. Males were more affected than females with 70.8% of cases and dogs between 3 to 9 years were the most represented (69,4%). Crossbreed dogs had highest incidence of aural hematomas (20.4%), followed by Serra da Estrela (16.9%) and Labrador Retriver (12.7%). Most affected animals had a weight exceeding 25 kg (58,3%). Temporal distribution obtained was 3 peak with highest incidence of aural hematomas, which corresponded to the months of January, September and November. Otitis externa associated with aural hematoma, was diagnosed in 45.8% of the animals and atopic dermatitis in 8.3%. The results of this study suggest that adult age, large size of the animal, pendular pinna and presence of factors that can trigger auricular trauma are risk factors of canine aural hematoma. It were also evaluated retrospectively 3 therapeutic techniques, as to its effectiveness and prognosis. Of the 4 cases corrected by needle aspiration and local injection of steroids, 3 relapsed. Surgery which involves incision, drainage and suture with sponge had 25% of recurrences, and surgery with incision, drainage and suture with buttons resulted in 16.7% of recurrences. Cosmetic result wasn´t good in one case resolved through surgery with buttons, which developed thickening of the pinna. This last technique originated more complications that the others. In 5 cases without aural hematoma treatment, fibrosis and thickening of the pinna was always present.

Full textDog and cat population management is a set of strategies to control and prevent problems related with the coexistence between those animals and human beings. In this thesis it is proposed a work-fiow based on quantitative methods to support the planning, implementation and mo- nitoring of companion animal population management programs. Following the work-fiow, it is possible to collecf data to characterize populations, analyze that data to propose interventions and assess the effect of interventions. The proposal was based on the articulation of five rese- arches. In the first research, a complex sampling design was implemented to characterize the owned dog and cat populations of Votorantim, São Paulo. In the second research, which was based on data from the first one, public opinion profiles regarding dog and cat abandonment were identified using multiple correspondence analysis. In the third research, the validity of the sampling design used in the first research was assessed through stochastic simulations. In the fourth research, a mathematical model of population management was developed. With that model, it is possible to prioritize interventions according to the effect they produce. In the fifth research, a mathematical model was developed to assess the efficiency of reproductive control based on contraceptives with reversible effect. The models of the last two researches were based on systems of coupled differential equations, and on global and local sensitivity analysis. The proposal was implemented in an open source software, the R package capm, that can be incorporated in the working routine of sectors involved with companion animal population management

Full textWe are researching the implications of animal assisted therapy within a social care facility in an attempt to respond to the legal and managerial controversies surrounding the scheme. Our research is part of a societal trend towards recognizing the citizen rights of dependent elderly people, and in particular their social and cultural rights. We are studying important questions relating to the power of ageing people to make their own decisions about their lives. That is our main aim in researching the use of companion animals, which may be a revealing tool when used in an institutional setting.We will begin our work by discussing the practical and theoretical implications of the plan to introduce a trained dog into a nursing home for dependent elderly people. We will first discuss the issues related to the knowledge and understanding of the users which will be highlighted through animal assisted therapy (1st part). Secondly, we will develop the managerial implications related to the implementation of this idea in an institutional framework and the possibility of introducing a new space for reflection and the construction of meaning (2rd part). These elements will be used to develop specifications for the animal assisted therapy project

The aim is to answer the following question : how does a population of innovation projects live and die ? This study is based on three independant theoretical currents : innovation management, nonlinear dynamic system theory and population ecology. Six types of interactions between innovation projects have emerged from me search for determining me evolution underlying laws. Competition is the main form of interaction : projects are competing for limited resources available within organizations. Hence, the law governing the observed evolution is a function of population density, illustrated by a kind of natural selection of projects : projects corresponding to their environment are the only ones likely to survive

Program management is the art of creating success in a complex and ever changing environment. It is fueled on knowledge work. Trust and the relationships are the foundational enablers that must be actively managed and nurtured. The Department of Defense Acquisition System is vast and as with any large system, it contains a multitude of issues. This examination focuses on program management challenges faced by the Government Program Manager and their Defense Contractor counterpart, and how each introduce trust-based relationship barriers and enablers impacting an actor's ability to establish trust and a relationship. This inspection explores trust-based relationship barriers and enablers derived from five different bodies of knowledge. First, I establish a barrier and enabler baseline based on my own professional experience. Second, I capture literature research and theory based barriers and enablers, which provide a diverse and rich understanding of trust and relationships. Third, I conduct a process research study of two major programs and inspect readily available and secondary information to determine trust patterns, common themes, and unique perspectives. Fourth, I survey Acquisition Professionals to determine trust-based relationship barriers and enablers at the Executive, PM-to-PM, and Program Level. Concluding, I interview Acquisition Professionals to garner a deeper understanding of the Department of Defense Acquisition System. Throughout each body of knowledge, I compare barriers and enablers to identify common themes, which produces the basis for each recommendation. Recommendations are focused on improving a PM's skills and the environment in which he or she operates. Actors within the DoD Acquisition System are trained on process routines but are not adequately trained on enablers such as leadership and communication, which build a capability to intelligently execute the routine. Intelligent application of the process routine introduces program management flexibility and trust. This in turn allows an actor to leverage the process to build trust and success system wide. Without actors, trust, and relationships, the process will never produce 'art of the possible' results.

For almost 70 years, actual costs of Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) in the Department of Defense (DoD) have exceeded on average between 20% and 506% of their life cycle cost estimates, which are official expectations of actual program costs prior to completion. Despite numerous DoD acquisition reform efforts and implementation of sophisticated cost estimation techniques, this cost growth continues to exist. Accurate cost estimates are vital to the capital budgeting process for the DoD since they are used to set the affordability cap for each MDAP and across DoD Component weapon system program portfolios. Affordability is defined as the upper limit a DoD Component can allocate for a program without reducing costs or shifting resources between programs. To improve affordability in the DoD, a method that quantifies and adjusts for the persistent cost growth to enhance the accuracy of cost estimates is needed to promote more responsible and sustainable MDAP capital investment decisions. This thesis presents a simple yet powerful method of quantifying and correcting for systemic cost estimation risk in MDAPs to improve cost estimate accuracy and, consequently, affordability. Cost estimation risk is defined as the difference between estimated and actual MDAP costs (on average a deficit), and it consists of systemic and program-specific components. This dichotomized risk framework is similar to the one used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in which the growth rate in value of any one of a set of assets comprising a market in equilibrium is proportional to its systemic risk exposure to that market. In the CAPM, systemic risk aggregated risk from multiple economic factors - pervades the market and is unavoidable, and asset-specific risk is considered unpredictable due to idiosyncratic uncertainties. By analogy, the growth rate in cost estimates for a program belonging to the "market" of MDAPs is assumed proportional to that MDAP's systemic risk exposure to the market. Like in CAPM, systemic cost estimation risk - aggregated risk from 26 systemic factors identified in this thesis - pervades the market for MDAPs, as evidenced by historical cost overruns, and program-specific cost risk is considered unpredictable and best mitigated by program-dedicated professional cost estimators in the DoD and defense industry. From this analogy, the expected growth-beta relationship of CAPM may be adapted to determine for MDAPs the systemic cost risk-adjusted growth rates for the defense commodity classes of aircraft, electronics and software, missiles, ships, space and satellites, and vehicles. These classes are the same used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis to segment defense commodities into distinct price index "baskets" based upon common inflation risks among commodities within each class. Based on this rationale, each MDAP is assumed to share systemic cost risk within its respective class; this risk is measured by beta in the expected growth-beta relationship. Defense commodity class beta values are calculated by linear regression of historical percentage cost estimate changes of member MDAPs with those of all MDAPs, and then averaging these beta values over the appropriate defense commodity class. Next, the expected cost estimate growth rate for any MDAP may be calculated by first estimating the future expected growth rate in all MDAPs using the arithmetic mean of historical annual cost estimate percentage changes, and then scaling this rate by the particular MDAP's systemic cost risk exposure - the defense commodity class beta value for which it is a member. Finally, the Systemic Risk Factor (SRF) for each defense commodity class is calculated from these growth rates and the forecast time horizon, adjusted for compounding effects over relatively longer time horizons, and then applied to current MDAP cost estimates to form systemic risk-adjusted cost estimates to improve affordability. This method was applied to an empirical retrospective case study using a set of cost data from six MDAPs, one from each commodity class, as a partial validation of the method. The results of this study show an overall 57% enhancement in estimation accuracy when comparing the initial and SRF-adjusted MDAP cost estimates to the final estimates, indicating quantifying and adjusting for systemic cost risk can improve cost estimation accuracy. To show the effectiveness of this method on improving affordability, these six programs were combined to form a hypothetical acquisition portfolio and assessed for affordability over a five year period. While the unadjusted portfolio was not affordable four out of five years, the SRF-adjusted portfolio was affordable in all but the last year, illustrating the benefit of adjusting cost estimates for systemic risk. However, the benefits of improved cost estimate accuracy and affordability come at the cost of potentially over-budgeting for priority MDAPs thereby leaving less funds available for other, lower priority programs. Additionally, this method is not shown to be optimal in the sense of minimizing cost estimate errors to maximize affordability. Still, empirical results are promising and warrant further research into the idea of using SRFs to adjust life cycle cost estimates and ultimately improve MDAP affordability for the DoD.

Full textSince the beginning of the 1980's the quality of the products has been considered as a great asset for the national firms in today's economical context. A first part will show the reasons why the competitive components of quality prove pertinent, whether in a strategy of domination by costs, or in a strategy of differentiation. To obtain quality, however, new attitudes and competences, which open on to new proceedings, are required from the staff. A participative management, by its structures as well as by its means, meets the social requirements of a search for quality (second part). Facts have shown that the "participative management-quality" relationship has not always had the positive results that have been expected. The gap between the facts that be observed, and the prevailing discourse can be explained. The later usually conveys an exaggeratedly simplifying and mechanist idea of the firm. Moreover, it shows, participative management as an easily transposable technique systematically leading to success. The search for quality recalls that a firm is above all a human organization which can't be entirely determined by any means of management

Full textHundar är en av de mest spridda karnivorerna och det tredje mest invasiva däggdjuret, efter katter och gnagare. Gatuhundar påverkar vilda djur negativt genom predation, störning, spridning av sjukdomar, konkurrens och hybridisering med andra vilda hunddjur. Även i urbana miljöer har gatuhundar en negativ påverkan, genom störning, förorening, trafikolyckor, bett och sjukdomsrisk. Serbien är ett av många länder i Balkanregionen som har för stora populationer av gatuhundar. I detta arbete undersöks populationsdynamiken hos gatuhundar i Bor, Serbien och diskuterar olika metoder för att hantera gatuhundpopulationen. Totalt inventerades 361 gatuhundar, 111 hanar, 85 honor och 165 med obestämt kön. 55 hundar (15.23%) uppskattades vara äldre än 7 år, 262 hundar (72.57%) uppskattades vara mellan 3-7 år, 30 hundar (8.31%) uppskattades vara mellan 6-24 månader gamla och 14 hundar (3.87) uppskattades vara mellan 0-6 månader gamla. Inga hundar visade tecken på rabies eller CDV (canine distemper virus) och 241 gatuhundar (66.75%) föreföll friska. Däremot visade 120 hundar (33.25%) någon typ av nedsatt hälsa. För att uppnå ett stopp i populationsökningen krävs minst 70% steriliseringstakt samt att man lär ut ansvarsfullt hundägande. Gatuhundarna visade olika reaktioner mot människor, 164 hundar (45.42%) var neutrala och 100 hundar (27.70%) visade ingen rädsla eller aggression för människor och interagerade gärna. Eftersom gatuhundarna är lättillgängliga, skulle de kunna ingå i populationshanteringar som TNR (trap-neuter-release) och hanhundar bör prioriteras med tanke på deras spridningsmönster.

The military is the midst of significant change, due to the DoD transformation guidance and movement to Network-Centric Warfare/Operations. Unfortunately, both the guidance given, roadmaps produced and the level of espoused support for the transformation have caused fundamental change to occur slowly and at increasing expense. The military material development process was designed around a platform-centric system and worked well, but now the information age is causing a move to network-centric systems. This fundamental shift is not aligned with the DoD development process and reform will require broad changes in both organization and policy. This paper reviews the NCW Transformation goal, the DoD transformation guidance and compares them to the Transformation Roadmaps of the Army, Navy and Air Force. These guidance documents are then compared with actual transformation changes and the associated factors effecting the change, using J. Forrester type system dynamics models. The systems dynamics analysis studies numerous transformation factors for their effects and yields recommended alternative development architecture.
(cont.) The goal of the paper is to align the DoD development process with the transformation guidance goals to result in a process which speeds prototype testing, development and fielding of new military systems, while integrating state-of-the-art business practice and theory. This resulted in the creation of several models which describe the various acquisition systems and a new model which addresses the issues found in the other models. The new model represents a reconfigured architecture for the DoD acquisitions system and a new organization to implement the transformation.

Full textAn economic crisis is always a management crisis. The new management of two schools, American and Japanese, shows that the utilization of the workers and the mode of organization federating their activity make the difference. California represents individualism, risk, innovation, change. Its future depends on its capacities to diversify itself. The formidable economic presence of japan makes anxious the occident country. What is the secret of its success? Everyone thinks of the specific character of its culture without realizing that the japan narrowly allies enterprises and administration with a primordial objective: the unlimited economic growth. Conscious of this dynamism, the American leaders worked up a project of strategic alliance between the two countries to assure a real "sharing-monopoly" on the high-tech markets. Thus the real prize in pincers of EEC by the USA and japan appears. The traditional management of the European enterprises is lost. The European nations and their enterprises must understand that their common objective is the struggle for the international competition. Employers, syndicates and state need to have a new spirit which combines the technological innovation and the social innovation. The research of this new spirit, in order to an effective result, must cross the change of rules of the economic, social and politic environment. The totality of the competition and the technical progress advance much more quickly than the European formation

Full textThe comparative management theory can't offer a viable solution to the problems underdeveloped countries stumble across when it comes to transferring and applying modern management techniques. As yet researchers have done only little exploring of cultural dimensions. The traditional problem setting can be best summed up by raising the question "can we conceive of a fully objective knowledge?", and we showed the answer could only be negative, in every knowledge whichever lies a subjective part, that is connected to the interactions occurring between culture, personality, behavior and attitudes. Let us now dwell on the cultural factors. Studying a good lot of reading material enabled us to outline the opposition between French and Egyptian cultural models. The working up of the French type of management clearly showed the dependence interrelations exiting between (causal) cultural variables and managerial variables. We have studied and analyzed the possibilities of transferring and implementing the French model, taking into account the cultural factors, though a comparison between philosophies and practices

Full textIn an effort to control cost and schedule growth, the US Department of Defense mandates that defense acquisition programs perform Technology Readiness Acquisitions (TRAs) during the acquisition cycle. Technology maturity is widely believed to correlate with cost and schedule risk in complex development programs, with the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) the metric currently used for assessing technology maturity. However, while a schedule-related correlation has been demonstrated, no research has shown a statistically significant correlation between a system’s overall technology maturity and cost growth. This study demonstrates that an acceptable system level metric can be constructed with the available TRLs that aids in controlling cost growth. This work validates this metric as a useful tool for program managers and system engineering professionals. Utilizing published data on US Department of Defense acquisition programs, this study defines a System Maturity Level (SML) metric that can be computed from existing TRLs and is a statistically significant predictor of cost risk. A System Maturity Level cost-risk curve is also introduced in order to help engineering managers make cost-risk decisions.
