Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the current Naval Supply Systems Command stock point productivity enhancement project known as Engineering the Workplace (EWP). It was found that EWP produce significant efficiencies in physical distribution work methods, employee performance, and material organization and flow. It was also found that EWP is an effective tool for training employees in efficient work methods, monitoring employee performance on a continuing basis, and providing managers with a quantitative decision making control mechanism that is based on objective performance measurement indices. The major conclusion is that EWP is an appropriate methodology to use in other functional areas of a stock point. An aggressively managed application of EWP throughout other segments of the NAVSUP community may significantly improve productivity.

Full textAbstract:
Strength grading of structural timber is a process by which value is added to sawn products. It is to the greater part carried out using machine grading based on statistical relationships between so called indicating properties and bending strength. The most frequently applied indicating property (IP) on the European market is the stiffness in terms of average modulus of elasticity (MOE) of a timber piece, although MOE is a material property that varies within timber. A major limitation of today’s grading methods is that the described relationships are relatively poor, which means that there is a potential for more accurate techniques. The main purpose of this research has been to initiate development of more accurate and efficient machine grading methods. Strength of timber is dependent on the occurrence of knots. At the same time, knot measures applied as indicating properties until today have shown to be poor predictors of strength. However, results from this research, and from previous research, has shown that not only size and position of knots but also fibre deviations in surrounding clear wood are of great importance for local stiffness and development of fracture under loading. Thus, development of new indicating properties which take account of knots as well as properties of surrounding fibres, determined on a very local scale, was considered as a possible path towards better strength grading. In the research, results from contact-free deformation measurements were utilized for analysis of structural behaviour of timber on both local and global level. Laser scanning was used for detection of local fibre directions projected on surfaces of pieces. Scanned information, combined with measures of density and average axial dynamic MOE, was applied for calculation of the variation of local MOE in the longitudinal board direction. By integration over cross-sections along a piece, a stiffness profile in edgewise bending was determined and a new IP was defined as the lowest bending MOE along the piece. For a sample of Norway spruce planks, a coefficient of determination of 0.68 was achieved between the new IP and bending strength. For narrow side boards to be used as laminations in wet-glued glulam beams, the relationship between IP and tensile strength was as high as 0.77. Since the intended use of the narrow boards was as laminations in wet-glued beams, the possibility of grading them in a wet state was also investigated. Grading based on axial dynamic excitation and weighing gave just as good results in a wet state as when the same grading procedure was applied after drying. It was also found that the relationship between the new IP and strength was dependent on what scale the IP was determined. Optimum was reached for moving average MOE calculated over lengths corresponding with approximately half the width of investigated pieces. Implementation of the new IP will result in grading that is more accurate than what is achieved by the great majority of today’s grading machines. The new method will probably also be particularly favourable for development of engineered wood products made of narrow laminations.Hållfasthetssortering av konstruktionsvirke innebär att värdet på sågade produkter ökar. Sorteringen genomförs oftast med maskinella metoder baserade på statistiska samband mellan s.k. indikerande egenskaper och böjhållfasthet. Den indikerande egenskap (indicating property, IP) som är vanligast på den Europeiska marknaden är styvhet uttryckt som ett medelvärde för elasticitetsmodulen (modulus of elasticity, MOE) i ett virkesstycke, trots att MOE är en materialegenskap som varierar i virket. En betydande begränsning med dagens sorteringsmetoder är att de beskrivna sambanden är förhållandevis svaga, vilket innebär att det finns en potential för metoder med högre noggrannhet. Det huvudsakliga syftet med detta doktorandprojekt har varit att initiera en utveckling mot sådana metoder. Hållfasthet hos virke är beroende av förekomst av kvistar. Samtidigt har de kvistmått som fram till idag kommit till användning visat sig vara dåliga prediktorer av hållfasthet. Resultat från såväl denna som tidigare forskning har dock visat att inte bara kvistars storlek och läge, utan också variationen i fiberriktning i omgivande träfibrer, är av stor betydelse för lokal styvhet och brottförlopp under inverkan av last. Utveckling av nya IP som tar hänsyn till såväl kvistar som omgivande träfibrers egenskaper fastställda på mycket lokal nivå bedömdes vara en möjlig väg för att uppnå bättre hållfasthetssortering. I detta doktorandprojekt användes beröringsfri deformationsmätning för analys av det strukturella beteendet hos virkesstycken på såväl lokal som global nivå. Laserskanning utnyttjades för detektering av lokala fiberriktningar projicerade på virkesstyckenas ytor. Med utgångspunkt från skannad information, virkesdensitet och medelvärde för axiell dynamisk elasticitetsmodul kunde variationen i lokal elasticitetsmodul i virkesstyckenas längdriktning bestämmas. Genom integration över tvärsektioner längs ett virkesstycke kunde en profil över hur böjstyvheten i styva riktningen varierade i virkesstyckets längdriktning beräknas. En ny IP definierades som den lägsta elasticitetsmodulen i böjning utmed virkesstyckets längd. För ett urval av granplankor erhölls en förklaringsgrad på 0.68 mellan den nya indikerande egenskapen och böjhållfasthet. För smala sidobrädor avsedda att användas som lameller i våtlimmade limträbalkar var motsvarande förklaringsgrad mellan samma IP och draghållfasthet så hög som 0.77. Eftersom sidobrädorna var avsedda att användas som lameller i våtlimmade balkar genomfördes en studie avseende möjligheten att hållfasthetssortera i vått tillstånd med hjälp av axiell dynamisk excitering och vägning. Det visade sig att sådan sortering gav lika bra resultat som då samma metod användes efter torkning. Sambandet mellan den nya indikerande egenskapen och hållfasthet visade sig också vara beroende av på vilken lokal nivå som egenskapen beräknades. Optimum uppnåddes då den bestämdes som ett glidande medelvärde beräknat över en längd motsvarande ungefär halva virkesstyckets höjd. Implementering av den nya sorteringsmetoden kommer att resultera i sortering som är noggrannare än vad som kan erhållas med det stora flertalet av de sorteringsmetoder som finns idag. Den nya indikerande egenskapen kommer sannolikt att bli särskilt gynnsam att använda för utveckling av ingenjörsmässiga träprodukter bestående av smala lameller.

Full textAbstract:
Machine strength grading of structural timber is a sawmill process by which considerable value is added to sawn products. The principle of such grading is that the strength of a timber member is predicted on the basis of a so called indicating property (IP) which, in general, represents an averaged value of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) measured over a board length of about one meter or more. A limitation of today’s grading methods is that the accuracy of strength predictions is often rather poor, which results in a low degree of utilization as regards structural potential of sawn timber. However, it has for many years been well known to researchers that much better strength predictions can be made by using localized MOE values, determined over a very short length, as IP. Still, the determination of such values in a sawmill production environment has been technically very difficult to achieve. In the research presented in this thesis, dot laser scanning with high resolution was utilized for detection of local fibre orientation on the surfaces of timber members. Since wood is an orthotropic material with superior structural performance in the longitudinal fibre direction, information about fibre orientation was, in combination with beam theory and measured wood material properties, used to determine the bending MOE variation along boards. By application of an IP defined as the lowest MOE found along a board, more accurate strength predictions than what is obtained by common commercial grading techniques was attained. The thesis also involves flatwise wet gluing of Norway spruce side boards into laminated beams. As side boards, being cut from the outer parts of a log, have excellent structural properties it was not surprising to find that the beams had high strength and stiffness, even when laminations of sawfalling quality were used. The possibility of grading boards in a wet state by means of axial dynamic excitation was investigated with a positive result and application of simple grading rules resulted in considerable improvement of beam bending strength. Finally, bending MOE variation determined on the basis of laser scanned fibre directions was used for identification of weak sections in laminations. Elimination of such sections by means of finger jointing showed that average lamination strength of a board sample could be improved by more than 35 percent.Hållfasthetssortering av konstruktionsvirke är en sågverksprocess som innebär att värdet av det sågade virket ökar väsentligt. Principen för denna typ av sortering är att styrkan hos ett virkesstycke predikteras med utgångspunkt från en så kallad indikerande egenskap (IP) som oftast representeras av medelvärdet av elasticitetsmodulen (E-modulen) mätt över en sträcka av minst en meter utmed virkesstyckets längd. De sorteringsmetoder som används idag ger ofta prediktioner med relativt låg noggrannhet, vilket innebär att endast en begränsad del av det sågade virkets konstruktiva potential kan utnyttjas. Det är dock väl känt att avsevärt bättre prediktioner kan erhållas genom att använda en lokal E-modul, uppmätt över en mycket kort sträcka, som IP. I dagsläget saknas dock teknik för att kunna bestämma ett sådant lokalt värde vid produktionshastighet i ett sågverk. I den forskning som presenteras i denna avhandling har punktlaserskanning med hög upplösning använts för att bestämma fiberriktningens variation på ytorna av virkesstycken. Eftersom trä är ett ortotropt material med högst styvhet och styrka i longitudinell fiberriktning ger skanningsresultaten värdefull information om hur dessa egenskaper varierar längs en planka. Genom att kombinera informationen om fiberriktning med uppmätta virkesegenskaper och klassisk balkteori, kan böjstyvhetens variation utmed en planka beräknas med hög upplösning och därefter omräknas till en E-modul i böjning. Med en IP definierad som det lägsta värdet på nämnda E-modul utmed en planka kan en högre noggrannhet i prediktionen av hållfasthet uppnås, jämfört med vad som kan erhållas med dagens sorteringsmetoder. Avhandlingen omfattar också limträbalkar tillverkade av sidobräder av gran limmade i rått tillstånd. Eftersom sidobräder sågas från de yttre delarna av en stock har de vanligtvis utmärkta konstruktiva egenskaper. Det var därför inte förvånande att balkarna uppvisade hög styrka och styvhet, även i de fall lamellerna var av sågfallande kvalitet. Möjligheten att med hjälp av axiell dynamisk excitering sortera sidobräder i rått tillstånd undersöktes med positivt resultat och genom att använda sorterade lameller kunde balkarnas styrka förbättras avsevärt. Den ovan beskrivna metoden att med utgångspunkt från bl.a. skannade fibervinklar bestämma styvhetens variation längs virkesstycken utnyttjades sedan för att identifiera svaga snitt i lameller av sidobräder. Genom att eliminera sådana snitt med hjälp av fingerskarvning kunde medelhållfastheten för ett stickprov sidobrädor höjas med mer än 35 %.

Full textAbstract:
Limited English proficiency (LEP) amongst non-English-speaking background
(NESB) employees is a major concern for the Government, employers and unions in
Australia. Due to their low levels of English proficiency, NESB employees are often
unable to carry out effectively the required workplace tasks. In the current climate of
rapid change in workplaces, as a result of Award Restructuring, NESB employees
may also lack the communication skills necessary to undertake skill-based training
and, therefore, be further disadvantaged.
In light of these concerns, this study investigated the English learning needs of a
group of NESB non-academic staff at the University of Canberra (UC). It established
that there was a gap between their present levels of English proficiency and the levels
required in their current positions. As a result, these employees are unable to engage
effectively in all communication tasks required in the workplace.
Following a detailed analysis of the current literature on the provision of workplace
English training it is recommended that an English in the Workplace (EWP) program
be provided at the UC for NESB non-academic employees. Specific recommendations
are made regarding the design and implementation of the learning program.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing number of economic and cultural aid programmes for
Vietnam to reconstruct its war-torn economy in recent years from the
United Nations Development Programme and other international and
governmental organizations has created a great demand for English language teaching and learning in Vietnam. The language problems
that face Vietnamese scientists and technicians working in these aid
programmes have been a major concern of many educational
institutions in Vietnam and a reason for the author of this Study
Report to take up this study.
Chapter one of this study covers major stages of development of the
teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and various factors
that influence the teaching of ESP.
Chapter two discusses some current issues in the teaching of ESP in
Vietnam with special reference to course organization, syllabus and
material design at the Hanoi Foreign Language College. It also
points out some misunderstanding and misconception in the teaching
of English to Vietnamese scientists and technicians.
Chapter three looks at major language problems that Vietnamese
students meet when they go to study at different colleges or
universities in English speaking countries. A close investigation
will be carried out over a number of Vietnamese veterinary doctors
studying at the university of Queensland in Australia.
Chapter four is concerned with the selection of suitable syllabus
models for ESP/EAP courses at HFLC and also attempts to work out
appropriate syllabuses for EAP courses for Vietnamese students going
to study overseas.
The final chapter suggests some further considerations for
organizing ESP/EAP courses at HFLC especially for material
production, ESP teacher training and ESP testing.
It is hoped that this Study Report will give language teachers in
the ESP Department at the Hanoi Foreign Languages College a clearer
picture of what ESP is all about and provide some guidelines for
successful organization of teaching ESP and EAP to Vietnamese
students.

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the level of economic and trade cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan starting from the beginning of its formation. I have used SWOT analysis tool to show different aspects which influence current level and further possibilities for cooperation. The study finds that, the EU is presently a major investor and trade partner of Azerbaijan. Up to latest time, the main factor of cooperation was the country's energy resources. However, later Azerbaijan has enlarged its participation by enrollment in the EU Eastern Partnership agreement and European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) and is currently closely working with the EU in a number of areas. Azerbaijan is seeking for the membership in the WTO which can potentially facilitate trade flows between the two parties and bring the country closer to the European market.

Full textAbstract:
Seit den Anfängen empirisch-neurowissenschaftlicher Forschung gilt Sprachkompetenz zuvorderst als eine Leistung der Hirnrinde (Kortex), jedoch wurden v. a. im Zuge sich verbessernder bildgebender Verfahren aphasische Syndrome auch nach Läsionen subkortikaler Hirnregionen, insbesondere der Basalganglien und des Thalamus nachgewiesen. Diese Strukturen liegen in der Tiefe des Gehirns und kommunizieren über weit gefächerte Faserverbindungen mit dem Kortex.
In erster Linie werden den Basalganglien senso-motorische Kontrollfunktionen zugewiesen. Dementsprechend werden diverse Erkrankungen, die durch Störungen physiologischer Bewegungsabläufe gekennzeichnet sind (z. B. Morbus Parkinson, Chorea Huntington), auf Funktionsdefekte dieser Strukturen zurückgeführt. Der Thalamus wird häufig als Relaisstation des Informationsaustauschs zwischen anatomisch entfernten Arealen des Nervensystems aufgefasst. Basalganglien und Thalamus werden jedoch auch darüber hinausgehende Funktionen, z. B. zur Bereitstellung, Aufrechterhaltung und Auslenkung von Aufmerksamkeit bei der Bearbeitung kognitiver Aufgaben zugesprochen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde mit elektrophysiologischen Methoden untersucht, ob auf der Ebene von Thalamus und Basalganglien kognitive Sprachleistungen, spezifisch der syntaktischen und semantischen Verarbeitung nachgewiesen werden können und inwieweit sich eventuell subkortikale von kortikaler Sprachverarbeitung unterscheidet.
Die Untersuchung spezieller Sprachfunktionen der Basalganglien und des Thalamus ist im Rahmen der operativen Behandlung bewegungsgestörter Patienten mit der sog. Tiefenhirnstimulation (DBS = engl. Deep Brain Stimulation) möglich. Hierbei werden Patienten mit Morbus Parkinson Stimulationselektroden in den Nucleus subthalamicus (STN) implantiert. Bei Patienten mit generalisierten Dystonien erfolgt die Implantation in den Globus pallidus internus (GPI) und bei Patienten mit essentiellem Tremor in den Nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM). STN und GPI sind Kernareale der Basalganglien, der VIM ist Teil des motorischen Systems. Nach der Implantation besteht die Möglichkeit, direkt von diesen Elektroden elektroenzephalographische (EEG)-Signale abzuleiten und diese mit simultan abgeleiteten Oberflächen-EEG zu vergleichen.
In dieser Arbeit wurden DBS-Patienten aus allen genannten Gruppen in Bezug auf Sprachverständnisleistungen untersucht. Neben der Präsentation korrekter Sätze hörten die Patienten Sätze mit syntaktischen oder semantischen Fehlern. In verschiedenen Studien wurden an der Skalp-Oberfläche EKP-Komponenten (EKP = ereigniskorrelierte Potentiale) beschrieben, welche mit der Verarbeitung solcher Fehler in Verbindung gebracht werden. So verursachen syntaktische Phrasenstrukturverletzungen eine frühe links-anteriore Negativierung (ELAN). Dieser Komponente folgt eine späte Positivierung (P600), die mit Reanalyse und Reparaturmechanismen in Verbindung gebracht wird. Semantische Verletzungen evozieren eine breite Negativierung um 400ms (N400).
In den thalamischen Ableitungen wurden zwei zusätzliche syntaktische fehlerbezogene Komponenten gefunden, die (i) ~ 80ms nach der Skalp-ELAN und (ii) ~ 70ms vor der Skalp-P600 auftraten. Bei semantischen Verletzungen wurde im Thalamus ein fehlerbezogenes Potential nachgewiesen, welches weitgehend parallel mit dem am Skalp gefundenen Muster verläuft. Aus den Ergebnissen der vorliegenden Studie folgt, dass der Thalamus spezifische Sprachfunktionen erfüllt. Komponenten, die Sprachverarbeitungsprozesse reflektieren, konnten in den Basalganglienstrukturen STN und GPI nicht identifiziert werden.
Aufgrund der erhobenen Daten werden zwei getrennte Netzwerke für die Verarbeitung syntaktischer bzw. semantischer Fehler angenommen. In diesen Netzwerken scheint der Thalamus spezifische Aufgaben zu übernehmen. In einem ‚Syntaxnetzwerk’ kommunizieren frontale Hirnstrukturen unter Einbeziehung des Thalamus mit parietalen Hirnstrukturen. Dem Thalamus wurde eine Mediationsfunktion in der syntaktischen Reanalyse zugesprochen. In einem ‚Semantiknetzwerk’ waren keine eindeutig zuordenbaren Prozesse auf thalamischer Ebene nachweisbar. Es wurde eine unscharfe, jedoch aber spezifische Aktivierung des Thalamus über den gesamten Zeitraum der kortikalen semantischen Analyse gezeigt, welche als Integration verschiedener Analysemechanismen gewertet wurde.Since the beginning of empirical neuroscientific research language competence has been primary localized at the brain cortex. Improved functional neuroimaging techniques were able to localize lesions in structures which caused aphasic syndromes. These syndromes were particularly found after lesions of the basal ganglia and the thalamus These structures are located in the depth of the brain and communicate over widespread fiber connections with the cortex. Sensori-motor control functions are primarily assigned to the basal ganglia. Various diseases, which are characterized by disturbances of physiological courses of motion (e.g. Parkinson’s disease, Chorea Huntington) are attributed to function defects of these structures. The thalamus was originally understood as a simple relay station of information exchange between various cortical areas of the nervous system. However, additional functions were assigned to the basal ganglia and thalamus, e.g. maintenance and deflection of attention while processing of cognitive tasks. Within the present investigation thalamic and basal ganglia achievements in language processing were studied with electro-physiological methods to investigate differences between cortical and subcortical processes. The investigation of special language functions of the basal ganglia and the thalamus is possible in the context of the surgical treatment of movement-disordered patients with "Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)". Stimulation electrodes have been implanted to patients with Parkinson’s disease into the subthalamic nucleus (STN), patients with generalized dystonia into the globus pallidus internus (GPi), and patients suffering from essential tremor into the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM). STN and GPi are core areas of the basal ganglia, the VIM is part of the motor system. EEG-signals may be derived directly from these implanted electrodes and be compared to the simultaneously derived signals of a surface EEG. In this thesis DBS patients from all groups mentioned above were examined regarding language understanding achievements. The patients listened to sentences, which were either correct or syntactical or semantical incorrect. Different studies described scalp ERP components (ERP = event related potentials) which occurred after different types of errors in sentences. Thus, syntactic phrase structure violations cause an early left anterior negativity (ELAN). A late positivity (P600) follows this component and was hypothesized as a reflection of syntactical reanalysis and/or repair. Semantic violations evoke a broad negativity around 400ms (N400). In the thalamic EEG two additional syntactic components were identified, which were seen (i) ~ 80ms after the scalp ELAN and (ii) ~ 70ms before the scalp-P600. At thalamic level semantic violations caused a negativity, which parallels largely with the negativity found at the scalp. The results of this study suggest, that the thalamus fulfills specific language functions. In the basal ganglia structures (GPI and STN) no language specific components were found. Due to the collected data two separate networks are suggested for the processing of syntactic and/or semantic errors. In these networks the thalamus seems to fulfill specific tasks. In a "syntax network” frontal brain structures communicate with parietale brain structures via the thalamus. The function of the thalamus in this network is the mediation of the syntactic reanalysis. In a "semantic network” no clearly classified processes were proved at thalamic level, because of a similarity of thalamic and scalp signals. However, during the entire period of the cortical analysis activation of the thalamus was apparent. This activation was rated as integration of different analysis mechanisms.

Resumo: Esta dissertação descreve um experimento prático do qual participaram três grupos de alunos universitários matriculados na disciplina de Língua Inglesa Instrumental da Universidade Federal do Paraná em 1984. O experimento foi elaborado a fim de investigar até que ponto o uso de textos específicos relacionados às áreas de estudo dos alunos poderia resultar num melhor desempenho dos mesmos na compreensão
de leitura. Assim, o principal objetivo do estudo foi o de descobrir um procedimento satisfatório e eficaz para desenvolver a habilidade de leitura que possibilitaria aos alunos um aperfeiçoamento na compreensão de leitura. 0 método experimental constituiu-se de três tipos de procedimentos ao ensino da compreensão de leitura aplicados a três grupos de alunos. O Grupo A (grupo misto) trabalhou com textos considerados de 'interesse geral', o Grupo B (grupo misto) trabalhou com textos relacionados â área de estudo de cada aluno, enquanto o Grupo C (grupo específico) trabalhou com textos relacionados â área de Nutrição. Os modelos psicolingüísticos do processo de leitura de Goodman e Smith foram usados como base teórica para o planejamento do curso de leitura especialmente elaborado para esta pesquisa. Um pré-teste e um pós-teste foram aplicados para medir o desempenho inicial e final dos alunos na compreensão de leitura. Os resultados da análise estatística demonstraram que grupos homogêneos levando-se em consideração o ano acadêmico, a área de estudo e interesse dos alunos, desempenham melhor do que grupos heterogêneos, especialmente quando trabalham com textos específicos relacionados a suas áreas de estudo. Embora os resultados obtidos não nos ofereçam conclusões mais definidas sobre os grupos heterogêneos, eles nos fornecem diversas implicações pedagógicas úteis ao ensino e aprendizagem da compreensão de leitura.

O Modelo Estrutura, Conduta e Performance - Social (ECP-Social) foi construido como alternativa para a avaliação da performance social empresarial. O framework do modelo ECP-Social considera que a pressão exercida pela estrutura de mercado sobre as empresas faz com que elas ajam ou reajam adotando determinado comportamento social, o que promove a performance social. A definição dos indicadores de estrutura de mercado foram baseados no modelo ECP de Scherer e Ross (1990). A partir deste modelo foram feitas adaptações e inclusões para se desenhar a estrutura social do mercado, considerando as características econômicas dele. Já, os indicadores de conduta social fazem referência às funções gerenciais tendo sido estabelecidos indicadores sociais para as funções de administração geral, marketing e comunicação, gestão da cadeia logística, pesquisa e desenvolvimento, manufatura, meio ambiente, finanças, gestão de pessoas, assuntos políticos e assuntos jurídicos. Por fim, os indicadores de performance social apontam os reflexos dos comportamentos empresariais e da pressão sobre a estrutura da indústria através dos impactos sobre os a. & i. internos e externos. Para tornar operazionalizável o framework do modelo ECP-Social foi criada uma ferramenta que permite determinar o nível de conduta social em cada uma das funções gerenciais da empresa. Esse nível de conduta social é confrontando com a pressão exercida pela estrutura de mercado sobre a empresa, de onde se obtem o perfil social empresarial. O modelo foi testado em indústrias avícolas e calçadistas brasileiras. A partir do uso do modelo ECP- Social e sua ferramenta as empresas podem visualizar as áreas de maior e menor comprometimento social e a partir disso direcionar suas ações para as áreas estratégicas em investimentos sociais.

Full textAbstract:
Companies are always trying to enhance their functioning to achieve a competitive advantage in a given market. Some of the tools that are used to improve organizational functioning include ERP systems. In fact, ERP systems are becoming very popular among firms, to the point where they are considered by some as an ailing business savior. Nevertheless, despite the attractive functions that an ERP system may display to an interested company, implementing such a system successfully is a task that is far from being easy. Several problems may arise in the implementation phase, and a failure to address them correctly can have terrible consequences on the general functioning of a firm. Two of the main factors that contribute to a failed ERP system implementation are training and resistance to change. A tool that may actually help with the ERP system implementation failure is ERP simulation.
The main purpose of this thesis is to study the potential effect that ERP simulations can have on a potential ERP system user skills and knowledge, and thereafter find the potential impact that they may have while being used during an ERP implementation to facilitate training and reduce resistance to change.
The tools that were used to successfully accomplish this research were a personal interview with an ERP simulation expert, a detailed survey with ERP simulation participants, and various information that were collected from books, articles, reports and websites.
This thesis main results show that ERP simulations can enable ERP users to improve their knowledge of ERP systems effectively, and also have potential to contribute during the implementation phase by reducing the possible problems that may arise from the training and the resistance to change perspectives.

This thesis is concerning with problems of using database systems in ERP / ERP II software packages. The goal is to define position of ERP / ERP II systems in the Information System market. With this topic are also connected characteristics of database systems and definition of their specific position towards ERP / ERP II solutions. Except classical solutions, when the whole Information System is situated "inside" a company, there are also analyzed new attitudes, which respect external provider of ERP / ERP II and database services, particularly SaaS and Cloud Computing technology. This thesis also deals with evaluation of contributions and threats of these new business models, respecting different size of ERP / ERP II solutions. After introductory theoretical chapters, we choose respondents from groups of producers and distributors of ERP / ERP II products and we implemented a survey through questionnaire research. The goal is to clarify main reasons of choice of specific database platforms, used with different types of ERP / ERP II solutions. Afterward, with the aid of defined hypothesis, I'm trying to explain a degree of platform independence of robust ERP / ERP II software packages, towards database platforms. In closing parts of the thesis, there are compared individual database platforms among each other, respecting their suitability of usage in ERP / ERP II systems. Database systems are closely analyzed from several points of view. On the basis of ascertained theoretical and empirical frequency of particular database solutions we determine dominant market players and with the aid of multicriterial comparison we clear up reasons of their success among other competitors. Finally, we outline an anticipated trend, where the database systems market destined for ERP / ERP II products should grow in.

Installing an electrical submersible pump can be a way to increase the production in a well. This report will explain some ways the electrical submersible pump can be installed and describe the different components in an electrical submersible pump. The report will also give an insight in how electrical submersible pumps have been used and improvements done to the electrical submersible pump on two different fields. The main part will describe a method to screen wells and find out if installing an electrical submersible pump will be profitable. The method is to estimate future oil production, based on real-time production, with and without an ESP installed, and calculate the net present value. The method takes into account costs of installing, running and removing an electrical submersible pump. The ESP screening tool is screening the wells automatically. In addition it does an ESP simulation to find applicable pumps. For the ten wells screened by the ESP screening tool, the net present values have been negative, due to weak water cut estimation.

Full textAbstract:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) was developed from the fifties of the last century. Mainly used was for accounting. Another milestone was seventies when there was added functionality of material management. The biggest extensions came in the nineties when there was a significant increase of servers performance and ERP systems could be more complex. Suppliers began to develop new modules for Customer Relationship Management (CRM), analytics named Business Intelligence (BI), Warehouse Management System (WMS) and others. Expansion of Internet and secure connections began also cause of develop the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ERP systems are more complex so implementation of this systems are more complex too because it extends to most processes in the company. Implementation starts by selecting an ERP system in relation to the processes maps of the company. Then it is necessary to manage whole process of the implementation and write target concepts of each parts. Equally important is the data preparation and cleaning of data base for migrate to a new ERP system. After programming, editing and parameterization of the required functions and processes following phase of testing. If all goes as expected and acceptance document is approved, ERP system is prepared to productive mode.

Full textAbstract:
With the proliferation of Internet, ERP systems like all the domains of Information Technology have known an important evolution. This final thesis project is a study about the evolution of ERP systems, more precisely about their migration to the Web giving birth to a new generation of systems: the Web-Based or Web-enabled ERP systems. This migration to the Web is justified by the difficulty of making possible the communication between partner’s legacy systems and the organizations’ ERP systems. A historical evolution of these systems is presented in order to understand the reasons that lead vendors to adopt the Web Service Technology. Based on different studies, the main technologies such as Web services, Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Application server are also presented. From an interpretative research approach mySAP ERP has been chosen as a case study. This Master’s thesis has been led into AIRBUS France Company within the framework of the SAP Customer Competence Center (SAPCCC) Web site project. The project is aimed at re-building the SAPCCC Web site. The new characteristic of the Web site is to make it accessible by all AIRBUS partners working with SAP applications. To make the Web site accessible by the partners from their own applications located on their own platforms the development has been done thanks to mySAP ERP which is an ERP using the Web service technology. Finally, this thesis presents a comparative study between traditional ERP systems and the new generation of Web-based ERP systems.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the work in progress regarding an international research project based on an empirical survey. It focuses on the early stages of making the adoption decision, thereafter evaluating and selecting an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system prior to implementation in Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). The project seeks to close some of the identified gaps in ERP research. In addition, it attempts to link the results of the early stages of decision making to implementation, usage and evolution success in order to allow important conclusions to be made, for example, on the best practices in decision making or decision quality and success. This project will be restricted to the case of ERP software but will also give insights into the potential of integrating ERP and other important applications such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Supply Chain Management (SCM). The proposed research seeks to identify any differences and similarities contributing to the analysed research areas between British and Austrian companies. The choice of companies originating from two different regions in Europe is an important precondition in order to formulate results that will be applicable to the European Union in general. Due to the pervasive nature of ERP systems, our research results should be of interest to a wide range of professional and scholarly communities (from software engineering to accounting), in addition to the Information Systems (IS) field. The results presented should especially help practitioners in SMEs facing the important task of introducing an ERP system into their company.

Full textAbstract:
Mobile Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is still a very young topic which is in the pro-cess of developing in practice and research. Reviews of the topic of mobile ERP are lack-ing. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the concept of “Mobile ERP” has evolved by reviewing scientific articles on the topic from 1998 until June 2013. The total amount of articles we found when using the search term “Mobile ERP” was 246 articles and we could access 129 articles. These are the articles used for the literature review. We found, based on a framework used in previous studies for ERP that there are nine topic categories in which the articles can be divided and each category has a different evolution-ary level compared to the research area of “non-mobile ERP”. Mobile ERP has a signifi-cantly smaller number of results compared to ERP which had 886 articles in Schlichter & Kraemmergaard (2010). The nine topic categories are the following: Implementation of Mobile ERP, Management and Mobile ERP issues, Mobile ERP and Supply Chain Management, Optimisation of Mo-bile ERP, Mobile ERP and education, Studying Mobile ERP, The mobile ERP Market and Industry, The Mobile ERP Tool and Other. The topic with the most articles is “The Mobile ERP tool” followed by the topic “Other”, in which we have included both articles that have no relevance and articles that are very general and which cannot be categorized in only one category clearly. In third place comes “Optimisation of Mobile ERP” followed by “Implementation of Mobile ERP”, “Manage-ment and Mobile ERP issues”, “The Mobile ERP market and industry”, “Mobile ERP and supply chain management”, “Studying Mobile ERP” and last comes “Mobile ERP and ed-ucation” which is the only topic in which we did not manage to categorize any articles.

The purpose of this Thesis was to create a framework of 11 risk factors, investigate which of them are the most critical for the company and to find relationships between them Research questions What continuing risks will the company experience after ERP implementation? What relationships and measures can be constructed to better understand and manage risk factors of post-implementation? Some years ago ERP was a novelty in doing business, but nowadays companies have advanced from the implementation to the exploitation phase. Discussions about ERP post-implementation have just started to appear and many researchers see it as a second wave of ERP research. Undesirable risks in post-implementation stage of ERP can affect not just ERP area, they can lead to a total business failure. ERP post-implementation is a very important topic that requires attention, because understanding potential risk factors and their dependence on each other can facilitate managing process and help to avoid negative consequences. Knowledge of the risks can help to bring forth better practices that are consistent with a company’s internal context.

Current trends in ERP system were studied by conducting research and analyzes to see to what degree are current ERP trends reflected in existing ERP solutions that are being developed by both Czech and multinational vendors. For the purposes of the research a set of hypotheses was formulated and used to analyze the selected solutions. The research found two trends that are represented in the majority of selected ERP solutions. The application of cloud computing technology and the suitability to use particular solutions as two-tiered ERP. It was also found that all researched vendors to a certain degree implement the principles of Green ICT, although no vendor specifically labeled their software as Green ERP. It was also found that the term Social ERP doesn't appear to be an acceptable term for ERP vendors, although Social ERP functionality of some degree was found to be present in ERP solutions from multinational vendors.

An implementation project of an ERP system results in large changes. Organizations
that face an ERP implementation project have several risks to
consider in order to avoid problems that cause failures. The purpose of
this research is to extend existing models and create a method for implementation
of ERP systems. The method has then been employed to an
ongoing project at the department of Procurement and Supply at Ericsson
Mobile Platforms in Lund. Objectives for the research are to consider
which implementation strategy can be used and how an organization can
minimize risks.
The research approach and methodology is influenced by the qualitative
research method since it was necessary to gather qualitative facts instead
of quantitative facts. Included is also a case study due to the research is
executed within Ericsson Mobile Platforms in Lund.
There are two main opposite implementation strategies, Big Bang and
Step-by-Step. The choice of implementation strategy depends on number
of factors like the size of the organizations, complexity and resources.
A method of ERP implementation has been put forward as a result of the
integrated models. The method includes an overall model and a check list.
Risk identification is a problem that many implementation project faces, a
way to solve this is to make a careful risk analysis, a risk matirx with several
identified risks are putted forward throughout this study.

Auszug:
Aphasien sind variable Sprachstörungen, die auf umschriebene Hirnläsionen zurückführbar sind und die Produktion und Verständnis separat oder kombiniert betreffen (Weniger 2003). Hierbei wird das klinische Syndrom oft mit der Lokalisation der morphologischen Gehirndefekte (z. B. durch Hirn-infarkte oder -blutungen oder Tumoren) korreliert. Sprachkompetenz gilt in erster Linie als eine Leistung des Kortex, jedoch wurden v. a. im Zuge sich verbessernder bildgebender Verfahren aphasische Syndrome auch nach Läsionen subkortikaler Hirnregionen, insbesondere der Basalganglien und des Thalamus nachgewiesen (Wallesch & Papagno 1988; Friston et al. 1993; Nadeau & Crosson 1997; Zoppelt & Daum 2003; DeWitte et al. 2006; Wahl in Druck). Diese Strukturen liegen in der Tiefe des Gehirns und kommunizieren über weit gefächerte Faserverbindungen mit dem Kortex.
In erster Linie werden den Basalganglien senso-motorische Kontrollfunktionen zugewiesen (Alexander et al. 1986). Diverse Erkrankungen, die durch Störungen physiologischer Bewegungsabläufe gekennzeichnet sind (z. B. Morbus Parkinson, Chorea Huntington), werden auf Funktionsdefekte dieser Strukturen zurückgeführt. Hierbei wurde der Thalamus häufig als Relais-Station des Informationsaustauschs zwischen anatomisch entfernten Arealen des Nervensystems aufgefasst. Basalganglien und Thalamus jedoch können darüber hinausgehende Funktionen, z. B. zur Bereitstellung, Aufrechterhaltung und Auslenkung von Aufmerksamkeit bei der Bearbeitung kognitiver Aufgaben, zugesprochen werden (Cavedini et al. 2006; Piguet et al. 2006; Klostermann et al. 2006; Marzinzik et al. 2008).

Full textAbstract:
The first chapter of this thesis begins with an introduction to the background associated with the research project and an overview of significant issues in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and its assessment. This leads on to an explanation of the need for EAP Assessment Literacy. It is clarified, through reference to the research questions, that this study has been undertaken in order to investigate the extent to which the views of EAP teachers, on the topic of EAP testing and assessment, reflect language testing research and practices which comprise Assessment Literacy. Statement of the research questions and the hypothesis under investigation also explains that the thesis aims to ascertain how EAP Assessment Literacy can be sustained or enhanced. Chapter 2 of the study presents the Literature Review which examines the conceptual frameworks surrounding Assessment Literacy and the context of EAP. The views of key proponents of Assessment Literacy are discussed alongside a review of associated research in the fields of Education, Applied Linguistics and EAP. Other resources and mechanisms available for the enhancement of Assessment Literacy through formal training or in-service learning opportunities are also discussed. In the third chapter, the Research Design and Methodology, the researcher’s philosophical approach is rationalised and an appropriate set of research methods for this enquiry into EAP Assessment Literacy is identified. For this particular study the choice of a pragmatic paradigm is clarified. A mixed methods approach is also described in addition to the design of a questionnaire and an interview protocol for data collection purposes. Chapter 4 presents the Findings section of the research. Features of the research participant population are described and, in the case of the questionnaire, a method for filtering the total number of respondents to provide a more representative group is outlined. The results from the two main research tools are then presented in terms of key sets of data. These data sets include different question types and investigate the key areas of Assessment Literacy in EAP. Through Chapter 5, Analysis and Discussion, the meaning revealed within the Findings chapter is interpreted further. This will serve to identify key information relating to EAP teachers’ views on EAP testing and assessment practices and the extent to which these reflect language testing research practices which comprise Assessment Literacy. A synthesis of the main outcomes of the research is then provided in Chapter 6, Conclusions and Recommendations. Suggestions regarding what needs to be undertaken in order to sustain or enhance EAP teacher Assessment Literacy are also provided in the recommendations. In addition, the limitations of the study are also acknowledged, so that the scope of the research is appropriately contextualised. In Chapter 7, a list of references is provided detailing resources which have been cited during the research. Finally, an Appendix is included in Chapter 8 which includes the full questionnaire and the full set of interview questions. Access is also provided to transcripts from each of the interviews, the series of open question responses from the questionnaire and number of charts and diagrams which are not included in the main body of the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Network administrators typically employ di erent methods for authenticating and authorizing the access to their networks. A exible and scalable network access method is needed to combat the ever increasing network ubiquity brought on by technological advancements. The IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Network Access is a technology that allows transparent authentication to a network. It uses EAP-methods in order to authenticate against a server. There are a lot of di erent EAP-methods to choose from, and they vary in complexity and security. This report will bring up the di erences between the most commonly used authentication methods regarding the authentication time depending on di erent delay and network load. Results showed that EAP-methods that are less complex take less time to perform authentication than their counterparts. When there is no delay, or a very small delay, this might not matter, but when the delay is higher complex EAP-methods take signi cantly longer time to perform the authentication process. This is very negative considering the nature of transparent authentication, and could lead to users becoming annoyed. A general formula for determining how long time an EAP-authentication process will take is presented.

Mestrado em FinançasA EDPR é uma empresa que opera no sector da energia renovável e é hoje uma das mais importantes a trabalhar nesta área. O seu principal objectivo consiste em ser uma referência na indústria, por desenvolver, construir e operar as melhores centrais eólicas e solares no mundo. Ao contrário de muitas outras empresas que estão a ter alguns problemas com a actual conjuntura económica, a EDPR, ao investir num moderno e atractivo sector, tem conseguido ultrapassar com sucesso as dificuldades e por isso, está a construir um crescimento significativo e sólido. A elaboração deste estudo tem o propósito de obter o valor intrínseco das acções da EDPR, assente numa análise do seu desempenho operacional e do seu ambiente exógeno. O método adoptado para determinar este valor consiste no Free Cash Flow to Firm, uma vez que, de acordo com a revisão da literatura, é o mais adequado a aplicar à EDPR. A avaliação realizada levou à conclusão de que em 31/12/2014, as acções da EDPR tinham um valor intrínseco de - 6.49, estando dessa forma subvalorizadas, uma vez que a sua cotação era - 5.40 na data referida. Deste modo, com uma potencial valorização de 20.2%, foi possível dar uma recomendação de compra aos investidores interessados.
EDPR is a company that operates in the sector of the renewable energy and it is today one of the most important working in this area. Its main goal consists on being a reference in the industry for developing, building and operating the best wind farms and solar plants in the world. Unlike many other companies that are having some problems with the present economic framework, EDPR, by investing in a modern and most required sector, is successfully managing to overcome the difficulties and therefore it is building a significant and solid growth. The elaboration of this study has the aim to achieve the intrinsic value of EDPR stocks, by making a research of the operational performance and its exogenous environment. The method adopted in order to determine this value consists on the Free Cash Flow to Firm, since, according with the literature review, this is the most suitable one to apply to EDPR. The valuation performed led to the conclusion that on 31/12/2014, EDPR shares had an intrinsic value of - 6.49, being thus undervalued, since its quotation was - 5.40 at the time referred to. Therefore, with a potential appreciation of 20.2%, it was able to give a buy recommendation to the interested investors.

Mestrado em FinançasTitular de uma posição preponderante no sector petrolífero, a Sonangol E.P é a maior empresa pública a operar em Angola e umas das maiores a operar em África. Detentora uma linha de negócios que integra toda a cadeia de valor referente ao negócio petrolífero, nomeadamente, desde a extração de petróleo e gás natural, até a sua transformação, distribuição e venda ao consumidor final. Contudo, sendo o principal veículo de desenvolvimento económico-financeiro em Angola, fruto dos avultados investimentos que realiza tanto no mercado doméstico como no internacional, a Sonangol E.P. depara-se com inúmeros desafios futuros consequentes da atual conjuntura macroeconómica vivida no País bem como a recente queda dos preços do petróleo. Assim, este Trabalho Final de Mestrado tem como objetivo avaliar a Sonangol E.P. e determinar o valor intrínseco das suas acções, através de um processo exaustivo de análise do Grupo, da indústria e das previsões de crescimento. A avaliação foi realizada pelo método do Free Cash Flow to Firm que de acordo com a revisão de literatura abordada pretende conciliar a teoria e prática de modo a se apurar o valor intrínseco das acções da empresa. Como resultado desta avaliação, foi possível concluir que a Sonangol detém um enterprise value de aproximadamente 15 mil milhões de euros, estando o valor intrínseco de cada acção a rondar os 9.23 euros. Concluindo, este trabalho providencia uma base sólida de análise para uma possível venda parcial ou total da empresa pelo estado Angolano, assim como para o lançamento de um possível IPO.
With a Key position in the sector of Energies, Sonangol E.P. (hereinafter "Sonangol" or "Group") is the largest state-run oil company operating in Angola, the Africa's second-largest crude producer. Holder of a business line that integrates the entire value chain of oil & gas business, since its extraction to its distribution and sale to the final costumer, Sonangol holds investments and interests in other sectors (transportation, real estate, education, healthcare, etc) which places the company on top of the largest firms in terms of assets and revenues operating in Angola. However, as the main driving force of the Angolan economy, Sonangol presents large future challenges due to the current macroeconomic situation lived in the country as well as the actual fall in oil prices. This Master's Final Work aims to determine the underlying enterprise value of Sonangol, through a thorough analysis of the Group and the industry as well as its growth prospects. The valuation was based on Free Cash Flow to the Firm methodology, which according to the established in the literature review, conciliate the theory and practice to reach the real value of Sonangol's share price. With this evaluation it was possible to conclude that Sonangol's enterprise value is EUR 15.566bn, being the intrinsic value of each share EUR 9.23. Therefore this study provides a solid basis of analysis, for possible sale of the company by the Angolan state, as well as turning the Group public through an IPO process (Initial Public Offer).

Diese Dissertation untersucht das Verstehen figurativer Sprache, im Besonderen die zeitliche Verarbeitung von verbaler Ironie. In sechs Experimenten wurde mittels ereignis-korrelierter Potentiale (EKP) die Gehirnaktivität beim Verstehen ironischer Äußerungen im Vergleich zu entsprechenden nicht-ironischen Äußerungen gemessen und analysiert. Darüberhinaus wurde der Einfluss verschiedener sprachbegleitender Hinweisreize, z.B. von Prosodie oder der Verwendung von Satzzeichen, sowie außersprachlicher Hinweisreize, wie bspw. pragmatischen Wissens, auf das Ironieverstehen untersucht. Auf Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse werden verschiedene psycholinguistische Modelle figurativer Sprachverarbeitung, d.h. 'standard pragmatic model', 'graded salience hypothesis', sowie 'direct access view', diskutiert.This dissertation investigates the comprehension of figurative language, in particular the temporal processing of verbal irony. In six experiments using event-related potentials(ERP) brain activity during the comprehension of ironic utterances in relation to equivalent non-ironic utterances was measured and analyzed. Moreover, the impact of various language-accompanying cues, e.g., prosody or the use of punctuation marks, as well as non-verbal cues such as pragmatic knowledge has been examined with respect to the processing of irony. On the basis of these findings different models on figurative language comprehension, i.e., the 'standard pragmatic model', the 'graded salience hypothesis', and the 'direct access view', are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Uno dei moduli più utilizzati in ambienti come grandi impianti di stoccaggio o siti di produzione con annessi magazzini per la gestione dei processi di trasporto in entrata e in uscita oltreché i movimenti all'interno di esso, è SAP Extended Warehouse Management. SAP EWM offre varie funzionalità tra le quali l'utilizzo di transazioni in radiofrequenza che non sono altro che interfacce utente semplici e altamente specializzate che supportano l'operatore di magazzino nelle attività. Tra le circa 1600 transazioni RF manca però una transazione standard che permetta all'operatore di inserire i numeri seriali dei prodotti in arrivo al magazzino potendo quindi gestire i numeri di serie a livello della delivery. Salvare a sistema sin dall'arrivo merci i seriali dei prodotti può essere molto importante perché rende possibile tener traccia dell'intero ciclo di vita all'interno del magazzino dei prodotti serializzati. In questa tesi viene progettata e implementata quindi una transazione in RF che permetta all'utente di non esser costretto a svolgere un compito stazionario dovendo utilizzare una transazione standard attraverso un PC fisso ma poter sfruttare il palmare a sua disposizione per scannerizzare in maniera molto più veloce e accurata i codici seriali dei prodotti in fase di ricezione merce. Questa transazione una volta implementata è stata testata su dati reali di un sistema EWM di una nota azienda di macchine di caffè. Lo scopo però è stato quello di realizzare una funzionalità in aggiunta a quelle che lo standard SAP propone, che possa funzionare per una qualsiasi azienda che adotta il modulo SAP-EWM, ma che comunque prima sia stata testata in un database reale. L'unico cambiamento nel caso in cui questa transazione voglia essere utilizzata da un’azienda diversa da quella per cui si è testata è quello di cambiare semplicemente la parte di gestione del seriale in base alla propria strategia.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie utforskar hur organisationer kan undvika tillkortakommanden vid ERP- implementationer. Studien bygger på två forskningsfrågor: i) “Hur arbetar projektledare med meningsgivande handlingar vid ERP-implementationer?” samt ii) “Vilka faktorer upplevs vara viktiga för systemanvändares meningsskapandet?”. För att besvara frågorna undersöker studien ERP-implementationer utifrån en socialkonstruktivistisk lins där teorin om meningsskapande appliceras. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ metod där 16 projektledare och systemanvändare inom åtta svenska organisationer intervjuats. Resultaten tyder på att projektledare använder fyra kommunikationskanaler i sitt meningsgivande: i) intranät/mail, ii) möten, iii) utbildningar samt iv) superanvändare. Vidare indikerar de även att de kanaler som möjliggjort social interaktion bidraget till en mer positiv uppfattning hos systemanvändarna. Systemanvändarnas meningsskapande upplevs påverkas av fem faktorer: i) generationstillhörighet, ii) förändringsförståelse, iii) avstånd till förändringen, iv) engagemang samt v) förändringskultur. Studien adderar till tidigare forskning genom att fördjupa kunskapen om hur ett socialkonstruktivistiskt synsätt kan användas för att studera ERP-implementationer.This study explores how organizations can mitigate ERP failures. The study is based on two research questions: i) “How do project managers apply sensegiving during ERP implementations?”, and ii) “What aspects are perceived as important in the sensemaking process amongst systems users?”. Pursuing these questions, the study examines ERP implementations through a social constructivist lens and the theory of sensemaking. The study is based on a qualitative method, in which 16 project managers and system users, among eight Swedish organizations, are interviewed. The findings suggest that project managers use four channels of communication in their sensegiving: i) intranet/mail, ii) meetings, iii) education, and iv) superusers. It is also found that channels that enable social interaction contributes to more positive attitudes amongst system users. The sensemaking amongst system users is perceived to be affected by five aspects: i) generational affiliation, ii) understanding of change, iii) distance to change, iv) commitment, and v) change culture. The study adds to previous research by deepening the knowledge of how a social constructivist approach can be used to study ERP implementations.
