Xue, Licun. "Coalitional stability in strategic situations." Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=40287.
Full textChapter 1 provides an overview of the theoretical background and motivates the analysis undertaken.
Chapter 2 analyzes strategic situations with diverse coalitional interactions to ascertain the "stable" outcomes that will not be replaced by any rational (hence farsighted) coalition of individuals, and the coalitions that are likely to form. The analysis takes into full account the perfect foresight of rational individuals, which has been overlooked in the literature.
Chapter 3 defines "negotiation-proof Nash equilibrium", a notion that applies to environments where players can negotiate openly and directly prior to the play of a noncooperative game. The merit of the notion of negotiation-proof Nash equilibrium is twofold: (1) It resolves the nestedness and myopia embedded in the notion of coalition-proof Nash equilibrium. (2) The negotiation process, which is formalized by a "graph", serves as a natural alternative to the approach that models pre-play communication by an extensive form game.
Chapter 4 examines the notion of "renegotiation-proofness" in infinitely repeated games. It is shown that imposing renegotiation in all contingencies creates both conceptual and technical difficulties. A notion of self-enforcing agreements is offered: an agreement is self-enforcing if it is immune to any deviation by any coalition which cannot (confidently) count on renegotiation.

Shifts in the US water industry are characteristic of the flux found across all infrastructure sectors. Economic, environmental, market, regulatory and systemic forces are pushing the industry toward a different future where challenges of significant capital formation, competitiveness, efficiency and resource allocation will be prevalent. Amidst these drivers, longstanding assumptions about water provision and management are under scrutiny. The path forward remains unsettled as industry players debate the role of the federal government in financing pending capital challenges. The two sides of the debate describe divergent paths, and the one taken will define the industry's near-term structure. One hand indicates a pending crisis that necessitates substantial federal assistance while the other suggests staying the course towards self-sufficiency.
(cont.) Missing from these discussions is objective evidence concerning the state of the industry. To supply the missing component, this thesis develops and applies a rational methodology to characterize a national cross section of large water systems. The methodology provides a basis for (a) understanding the state of systems within the national portfolio and (b) guiding strategic assessment and policy development. A set of common, core indicators are deployed that rely upon widely available operating and financial data and make use of thresholds that serve as estimates of industry-wide averages or standards. Once applied, the indicators provide grounds for describing an enterprise's structure and core functions as well as assessing both capital needs and opportunities. The evidence indicates that large systems are adequately positioned to handle near-term capital challenges, so an expanded federal role is unnecessary. In addition, alternatives that might improve national water provision remain largely untested, so policies and strategies that support exploration of these approaches are recommended. The work presented is a key step toward normalizing an industry.

Full textNuestro análisis se centra en modelos generales en los que se admite que el resultado de la elección consista en un conjunto de alternativas. Aunque resulta natural suponer que sólo una alternativa será finalmente elegida, existen múltiples situaciones en las que este supuesto es sumamente restrictivo. Por ejemplo, podríamos considerar la elección como una etapa intermedia en el proceso de decisión. El objeto del proceso electoral sería reducir el número de alternativas entre las que la sociedad tendría que escoger. Con esta interpretación, nos centraríamos en situaciones en los que existe cierto grado de incertidumbre sobre la resolución final de la elección social.
En esta tesis seguimos dos importantes ramas de la literatura de la teoría de la elección social, el estudio de reglas decisión social no manipulables y el análisis de los problemas de candidatura estratégica.
En primer lugar, siguiendo el trabajo seminal de Dutta, Jackson y Le Breton (Econometrica, 2001) estudiamos los incentivos de los candidatos para entrar o abandonar la lucha electoral con la intención de afectar al resultado de la elección. Si los candidatos comparan conjuntos de candidatos de forma consistente con los postulados de la teoría de la utilidad esperada, cualquier regla de decisión unánime y no dictatorial provee a algún candidato con incentivos a abandonar su candidatura. Sin embargo, si los candidatos comparan los resultados de la elección de acuerdo con métodos menos sofisticados, sí que se pueden obtener resultados positivos.
Seguidamente, pasamos a analizar los incentivos estratégicos de los candidatos en un entorno complementario: en el que el resultado de la elección es explícitamente probabilístico. En esta situación podemos caracterizar la familia de reglas de votación que nunca incentivan la salida de ningún candidato. Sorprendentemente, aunque la familia de dictadores aleatorios juega un papel central dentro de la caracterización, podemos probar que reglas de decisión más flexibles también satisfacen los requerimientos de estabilidad en las candidaturas.
Finalmente, nos centramos en la posibilidad de construir reglas de decisión no manipulables cuando los votantes comparan conjuntos de alternativas de acuerdo con actitudes extremas ante el riesgo. En este contexto, analizamos la compatibilidad entre la condición de no manipulabilidad y otras condiciones de regularidad que han sido propuestas en la literatura como por ejemplo, Resolución Residual. Además, también presentamos los requerimientos en las preferencias de los votantes sobre conjuntos de alternativas que reducen la posibilidad de reglas de decisión no manipulables a reglas dictatoriales.
When a society has to make a choice from an array of alternatives, it usually relies on certain rules that try to reconcile the opposite interest of the members of the society. These rules define environments in which the agents interact and try to obtain the best outcome according to their preferences. This work is devoted to the study of the strategic incentives of the participants in the social decision processes.
We analyse general frameworks in which the outcome of the social choice process can be multivalued. Even when it seems natural to assume that the result of an election as a singleton, there are many situation in which our assumption should not be precluded. For instance, we can consider the social decision process as an interim stage that narrows the social agenda. Another possibility is to consider the set of the possible equilibria that could eventually arise in the voting procedure as the outcome of the election.
Our study focuses on two important branches of the literature, the study of strategy-proof social choice correspondences and the analysis of strategic candidacy in multivalued voting procedures.
First, we study the possibility of constructing non-manipulable social choice correspondences when the voters have strict attitudes towards risk. We analyse the trade-off between strategy-proofness and some regularity conditions proposed in the literature like Residual Resoluteness. Moreover, we introduce necessary conditions for strategy-proof and onto social choice correspondences. We also present the requirements in voters' preferences over sets of alternatives that reduce the possibility of strategy-proof correspondences to dictatorial ones.
Second, we study the incentives of candidates to enter or to exit elections in order to affect strategically the outcome of a voting correspondence. We show that, if candidates form their preferences over sets according to Expected Utility Theory and Bayesian Updating, every unanimous and non dictatorial voting correspondence violates candidate stability, at least a candidate has incentives to leave the ballot at one profile of preferences. We also analyse the implications of using other extension criteria to define candidate stability that open the door to positive results.
Finally, we analyse the strategic incentives of the candidates to withdraw the election in probabilistic environments. We characterise the family of unanimous and candidate stable probabilistic voting procedures when the candidates are expected utility maximisers. Surprisingly, we show that there are rules that are not probabilistic combinations of single-valued candidate stable voting procedures (random dictatorships) that do not provide incentives to the candidates to withdraw the election.

Full textTo achieve a sustainable development, impacts onbiodiversity of urbanisation, infrastructure, land use changesand other developments must be considered on a landscape andregional scale. Landscape ecology can provide a conceptualframework for the assessment of consequences of long-termdevelopment processes like urbanisation on biodiversity on alandscape scale, and for evaluating the impacts of alternativeplanning scenarios. The aim of this study was to explore theeffects of habitat quality, quantity and connectivity on forestbird diversity in an urban-rural gradient. The purpose of theanalyses was to develop knowledge and methods for integratingbiodiversity issues in planning and assessments in anurbanising environment, on landscape and regional scales.
The study area was situated in and around Stockholm, thecapital of Sweden, covering the city centre, suburbs andperi-urban areas. Data on breeding forest birds were collectedthrough bird censuses in an urban-suburban gradient. In orderto embrace also the peri-urban areas for a more completeurban-rural gradient, data on two fragmentation-sensitiveforest grouse species were obtained through a questionnaire tohunters in the whole study area. Response variables in theanalyses were forest bird species richness and diversity,relative species richness and occurrence of single sensitivespecies like selected sedentary forest birds, including theforest grouse species, and red list species. Habitat quality,quantity and connectivity were analysed using available data onabiotic conditions, including urban disturbances, andvegetation in geographical information systems. In addition, afield study on vegetation structure and composition wasperformed in a subset of the smaller sample sites.Relationships between the response variables and habitatquality, quantity and connectivity were explored usingstatistical methods like multivariate statistics and regressionmodelling. Further, for some models, spatial dependencies werequantified and accounted for. When habitat models wereretrieved, they were used for spatial predictions of habitatsuitability. They were also applied on future planningscenarios in order to predict and assess the impacts onsensitive species. In the urban-rural gradient, the foreststructure and composition changed, so that in more urban areas,coniferous forest on rich soils, wet forests and wetlandsbecame less abundant and more scattered. Sensitive birdspecies, tied to these habitat types, were shown to besensitive to habitat fragmentation caused by urbanisation.Large, well-connected habitat patches and aggregations ofsuitable habitat in the landscape had a higher probability ofoccupancy when compared to other patches. For the forest grousespecies, effects of car traffic added to the explanation oftheir distribution. By contrast, deciduous forest was stillquite common in predominantly urban areas, due to both latechanges in land use and a history of human preferences. Certainred listed bird species tied to deciduous forest did not seemto be affected by isolation, and also occurred in suitablehabitats in some highly urbanised areas. Furthermore, relativespecies richness in the urban-suburban gradient was related tomulti-layered deciduous forest habitats with a large amount ofdead wood. Such habitats were associated with natural shorelineand with old pastures and parks. From the derived statisticalmodels, describing the relationships between sensitive speciesand environmental variables, predictive habitat maps could becreated for the present situation and for planning scenarios.The predictions of the impacts on habitats of sensitive speciesmade it possible to quantify, integrate and visualise theeffects of urbanisation scenarios on aspects of biodiversity ona landscape scale.

Full textUm sistema bancário sólido é de importância fundamental para o bom funcionamento de uma economia, pois estabelece uma ponte entre credores e devedores. A estabilidade financeira, particularmente a estabilidade bancária, tem vindo a ganhar maior foco tanto por parte de autoridades de supervisão como académicos devido à sua relação com a economia real. Esta dissertação pretende utilizar uma ferramenta, o índice de estabilidade bancária agregada (ABSI), para avaliar a estabilidade bancária e seus determinantes em Portugal. Para tal, em primeiro lugar, é construído um índice que reflicta a estabilidade bancária durante o período 2010-2019. Em segundo lugar, com recurso a técnicas de séries temporais, é feita uma análise do impacto dos indicadores macroprudenciais para o sistema bancário português. Os resultados sugerem uma melhoria da estabilidade desde 2017 e, em consonância com a literatura empírica, apontam importantes indicadores macroeconômicos como o taxa de crescimento do índice de preços ao consumidor (% ΔCPI) e indicadores financeiros, como a taxa do multiplicador do segundo dinheiro (M2) em relação ao indicador de produto do produto interno bruto (PIB).
A solid banking system is of key importance for the well-functioning of an economy, as it establishes a bridge between lenders and borrowers. Financial stability, particularly, banking stability,has been gaining a greater focus from supervisory authorities and academics due to its interconnectedness with the real economy. This dissertation aims to use a tool, the aggregate banking stability index (ABSI), to assess banking stability and its determinants in Portugal. In order to do so, firstly, an index reflecting banking stability during the 2010-2019 period is constructed. Secondly, with recourse to time series techniques,an analysis is made on the impact of macroprudential indicators, for the Portuguese banking system.Findingssuggest for an improvement of the stability since 2017 and, in line with the empirical literature,point significant macroeconomic such as the growth rate of the consumer price index (%916;CPI)and financial such as theratio of the secondmoney multiplier (M2) to gross domestic product (GDP) early warning indicators.

Full textThis paper considers the use of indicators dashboards in order to solve business analysis problems. It allows improving the quality of solving the management and analysis problems related to enterprise activities. The relevance of this research is defined by the need for continuous improvement of business performance of Ukrainian and foreign organizations due to the constant calls of the competitive environment. Therefore, this paper discusses the foundations of using dashboards in business analysis, their purpose, and role in organizational management. According to the considered survey, modern organizations tend to be interested in applying dashboards systems. This growing interest depends on huge analytical abilities of operational, tactical, and strategic dashboards that provide information for management decisions on each level of organizational governance. As the example, this work considers the prototype of the operational dashboard intended to visualize the selected indicators of the supply process. The common procedure of building the dashboard system based on indicators is outlined.

Full textIn the first essay, we present a general out-of-equilibrium framework for strategic thinking in sequential games. It assumes the agents to take decisions on restricted game trees, according to their (limited) foresight level, following backward induction. Therefore we talk of limited backward induction (LBI). We test for LBI using a variant of the race game. Our design allows to identify restricted game trees and backward reasoning, thus properly disentangling LBI behavior. The results provide strong support in favor of LBI. Most players solve intermediate tasks - i.e. restricted games - without reasoning on the terminal histories. Only a small fraction of subjects play close to equilibrium, and (slow) convergence toward it appears, though only in the base game. An intermediate task keeps the subjects off the equilibrium path longer than in the base game. The results cannot be rationalized using the most popular models of strategic reasoning, let alone equilibrium analysis.
In the second essay, a subtle implication of the model is investigated: the sensitivity of the players’ foresight to the accessibility and completeness of the information they have, using a Centipede game. By manipulating the way in which information is provided to subjects, we show that reduced availability of information is sufficient to shift the distribution of take-nodes further from the equilibrium prediction. On the other hand, similar results are obtained in a treatment where reduced availability of information is combined with an attempt to elicit preferences for reciprocity, through the presentation of the centipede as a repeated trust game. Our results could be interpreted as cognitive limitations being more effective than preferences in determining (shifts in) behavior in our experimental centipede. Furthermore our results are at odds with the recent ones in Cox [2012], suggesting caution in generalizing their results. Reducing the availability of information may hamper backward induction or induce myopic behavior, depending on the strategic environment.
The third essay consists of an experimental investigation of farsighted versus myopic behavior in network formation. Pairwise stability Jackson and Wolinsky [1996] is the standard stability concept in network formation. It assumes myopic behavior of the agents in the sense that they do not forecast how others might react to their actions. Assuming that agents are perfectly farsighted, related stability concepts have been proposed. We design a simple network formation experiment to test these extreme theories, but find evidence against both of them: the subjects are consistent with an intermediate rule of behavior, which we interpret as a form of limited farsightedness. On aggregate, the selection among multiple pairwise stable networks (and the performance of farsighted stability) crucially depends on the level of farsightedness needed to sustain them, and not on efficiency or cooperative considerations. Individual behavior analysis corroborates this interpretation, and suggests, in general, a low level of farsightedness (around two steps) on the part of the agents.

Full textDefinir e executar uma estratégia de longo prazo é um dos grandes desafios de um gestor. O Balanced Scorecard foi criado nos anos 90 do século passado, apresentando-se primeiramente como uma ferramenta de avaliação de performance, mas hoje é utilizado como um sistema de gestão estratégica. O contexto atual de enorme globalização dos mercados e crescente competitividade entre as empresas desperta cada vez mais os gestores para a importância dos ativos intangíveis para atingir vantagens competitivas. A metodologia do BSC explica, através das relações causa-efeito entre objetivos estratégicos, traduzidos em indicadores financeiros e não financeiros, a forma como os ativos intangíveis podem potenciar os ativos tangíveis. Esta combinação possibilita coordenar e alinhar a estratégia global da organização com as tarefas do dia-a-dia. O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta de Balanced Scorecard para uma empresa da indústria farmacêutica. A partir da missão, visão e valores da empresa são definidos objetivos, indicadores e metas. Pretende-se que esta proposta de BSC seja implementada e permita à empresa o acompanhamento da estratégia, a sua comunicação a todos os níveis organizacionais, e a consequente monitorização dos resultados obtidos.
Defining and executing a long-term strategy is one of the biggest challenges for a manager. The Balanced Scorecard was created in the 90´s of the last century as a performance evaluation tool; however it has evolved to a strategic management system in nowadays. The current context of enormous market globalization and growing competitiveness among companies is increasingly alerting managers to the importance of intangible assets in achieving competitive advantages. The BSC methodology explains, through cause and-effect relationships between strategic objectives, which are translated into financial and non-financial indicators, how intangible assets can leverage tangible assets. This combination allows coordinating and aligning the organization's overall strategy with operational tasks. The present work develops a Balanced Scorecard proposal for a company in the pharmaceutical industry. From the mission, vision and values of the company are defined objectives, indicators and targets. The goal is to provide the company with a BSC proposal that can be implemented, allowing the company to follow the execution of its strategy, to communicate that strategy to all organizational levels, and to monitor the results obtained.

If we want to make sure that ample and safe food is available to future generations, then it is time that we produce food without damaging the soil. Many widely used soil management techniques like tillage and leaving the field bare can harm the soil and decrease productivity in the long run. One potential technique to produce food while protecting the soil and environment is conservation agriculture, which can include reduced tillage and cover cropping. Reduced tillage is a technique in which we grow food without majorly disturbing the soil, while cover crops are planted when cash crops are not in the field in order to improve or sustain the soil. Understanding the soil-related benefits of conservation agriculture practices is important to encourage farmers to adopt these practices. In this study we tested the effects on soils of reduced tillage and cover crop practices versus conventional tillage and bare soil practices, using five locations across Virginia. We also developed improved methods for measuring two informative soil parameters. We found that, when looking at all of our five sites, the stability of soil aggregates, the rate at which water enters soil, and the nutrients in surface soils were all affected by the type of management that the soils were subjected to. Reduced tillage increased stability of soil aggregates when compared with conventional till. This increased stability of aggregates indicators lower potential for surface water runoff, erosion, and flooding when we practice reduced tillage. Cover cropping also increased stability of soil aggregates, especially when the cover crops attained substantial above-ground mass. Soil nutrients (which are essential for plants to grow) were also overall higher in the surface soil layers under no-till. Since the stability of soil aggregates was found to be an important benefit of CA practices, we also perceived a need for a better method for measuring stability of these aggregates. In response, we developed a new index called Integrated Aggregate Stability (IAS). IAS was found to give similar results as established methods, but the time required to get IAS result is about 10 minutes, whereas the time required for established methods like wet sieving is around 2 days. IAS measurements are therefore both accurate and quick to perform. We also focused on developing an inexpensive tool for measuring soil respiration. Soil respiration-based measurements help us to understand the activity of microbes in the soil. These microbes are very important for soils to function. Our tool, Soil Microbial Activity Assessment Contraption (SMAAC), was very consistent with a currently used tool and shows high potential for future use. Altogether, we found that no-tillage and cover cropping can increase stability of soil aggregates even within 1-3 years of starting those practices. No-till can also increase nutrient concentrations in the top soil layer. The tools and innovations developed in this study have the potential to increase the ability of farmers to assess soil health and also encourage greater adoption of conservation agriculture practices.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: South African municipalities are under pressure to improve the current state of the water andwastewater service delivery industry. Knowing that there exists a need for improvement within the municipal water and wastewater industry, the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) launched a municipal strategic self-assessment (MuSSA) initiative to evaluate the business health of the industry. MuSSA asks high level technical management staff five key questions about sixteen key business attribute areas. This study seeks to determine if theMuSSA data can be used to aid municipal decision making, by way of drawing correlations between key performance indicators contained in the MuSSA questions. The correlations are to bring forth areas thatmust be focussed on to improve selected attribute areas requiring attention within municipalities. Three areas have been chosen from theMuSSA data to be investigated in this research project namely; (i)staff skill levels and capacity, (ii)non-revenue water and (iii)the execution of planned water services activities. In the MuSSA questionnaire there are questions addressing each of (i), (ii) and (iii) to determine the municipality’s performance in each of the three areas. Non-parametric statistics are used to determine with which of the MuSSA questions’ answers the relevant questions’ answers significantly correlate for (i), (ii) and (iii). Engineering judgement and expert opinion are used to determine if the questions correlating with the relevant questions for (i), (ii) and (iii) either affect, are affected by or have no relation with the question. These results are then organized using a flow diagram and are discussed in detail by way of a bivariate histogramof each correlation. The investigation revealed that municipalities not having sufficient technical management capacity are not performing well on at least one of the five questions asked on eleven of the sixteen MuSSA business attributes. The skill level of water and wastewater treatment works staff were found to be strongly affected by technical management capacity and skill, water services planning and financial sustainability of the organization. Municipalities training technical management and operational staff showed a high percentage of skilled operational staff employed at treatment works. Water and wastewater treatment works staff capacity are very dependent of the level of skill and capacity of technical management employed by the municipality. Municipalities having appropriate budgets and funding to appoint and train staff showed a tendency to be better at operational staff capacity building than those lacking funding. The reduction of non-revenue water (NRW) showed strong correlations with technical management and network operational repair staff skills and development. Municipalities employing staff with correct skills and experience combined, with commitment from management to reduce NRW by way of monitoring and practicing of pressuremanagement programs, significantly reduced NRW percentages. Equally crucial to the reduction of NRW, as revealed from the investigation, is the practicing of infrastructure asset management within the municipality. It was concluded that municipalities should strive to reach a NRW percentage of 30% or less to become financially stable, due to correlation between funding of routine operations and building up of cash reserve versus NRW percentages. Municipalities wanting to improve the execution rate of planned water services activities are recommended to address, among other factors, technical management skill levels and capacity. Municipalities lacking technical management skill and capacity reported a low percentages of planned activities being executed. Also of high significance, is the technical operational staff skill levels and capacity, due to their involvement in the execution of planned activates. The involvement of council members in water and wastewater planning and the reporting of data and issues to council greatly enhancesmunicipalities’ abilities to execute planned activities. This can mainly be contributed to increased funding in situations where council members support planned projects. The lack of funding was found to be a major inhibitor of the execution of planned activities. Even though a great deal of municipalities indicated that they are effectively spending allocated budgets, this positive indication is not seen in the percentage municipalities executing planned activities and leads to the conclusion that there is a lack of funding. Municipalities taking actions in other areas of their business such as infrastructure assetmanagement and planning were more effective at executing planned activities. In all, it was concluded that technicalmanagement and operational staff skill levels and capacity need to be present for amunicipality to function properly. Municipalities also are in need of funding to execute planned activities and need to become financially self sustainable. One way of working towards the goal of financial self sustainability is the reduction of NRW percentages. The data from this investigation shows great similarity with the literature consulted on the current state and functioning of South African municipalities. The statistical analysis of the MuSSA data accurately revealed correlations among key performance indicators in municipalities. The conclusion can be drawn that investigation of correlations amongMuSSA questions can be used to help aid municipal decision making.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrikaanse munisipaliteite is onder druk om die huidige toestand van die water en afvalwater dienslewering te verbeter. Met die wete dat daar ’n behoefte vir verbetering in die munisipale water en afvalwater bedryf is het dieDepartement vanWaterwese ’n munisipale strategiese self-assessering (MuSSA) projekte geïnisieer omdie welstand van die bedryf te evalueer. MuSSA vra hoë vlak tegniese bestuurs personeel vyf kern vrae oor sestien sleutel besigheids aspekte. Hierdie studie poogomvas te stel of dieMuSSA data gebruik kan word om munisipale besluitneming te help verbeter, deur middel van die evaluering van korrelasies tussen die sleutel prestasie aanwysers soos vervat in MuSSA vrae. Die korrelasies bring na vore gebiede waar op gefokus moet word om geselekteerde kenmerk areas binne munisipaliteite, wat aandag vereis, te verbeter. Drie areas uit die MuSSA-data is ondersoek in hierdie navorsings projek naamlik; (i) personeel vaardigheidsvlakke en kapasiteit, (ii) nie-inkomste water en (iii) die uitvoering van die beplande waterdienste aktiwiteite. In die MuSSA vraelys is daar vrae wat elk van (i), (ii) en (iii) aanspreek om die munisipaliteit se prestasie op die drie gebiede te monitor. Nie-parametriese statistiek word gebruik om die oorblywendeMuSSA vrae wat se antwoorde met die relevante vrae se antwoorde korreleer vir (i), (ii) en (iii) vas te stel. Kundigheid en oordeel van ingenieurs word gebruik om te bepaal of die vrae wat korreleer met die relevante vrae vir (i), (ii) en (iii) die relevante vraag beïnvloed, beïnvloed word deur die relevante vraag of geen verhouding het met die relevante vraag nie. Hierdie resultate word dan georganiseer met behulp van ’n vloeidiagram en word in detail bespreek deur middel van ’n tweeveranderlike histogram van elke korrelasie. Die ondersoek het aan die lig gebring dat munisipaliteite wat nie genoegsame tegniese bestuurs kapasiteit het nie swak presteer op ten minste een van die vyf vrae van elf van die sestienMuSSA besigheid eienskappe. Die personeel vaardigheidsvlakke van water en afvalwater behandelings werke word sterk beïnvloed deur die tegniese bestuurskapasiteit en -vaardigheid, waterdienste beplanning en die finansiële volhoubaarheid van die organisasie. Munisipaliteite wat opleiding van tegniese bestuur en operasionele personeel uitvoer het ’n hoë persentasie van opgeleide operasionele personeel werksaam by suiweringswerke. Water en afvalwater behandelingswerke se personeelkapasiteit is baie afhanklik van die vlak van vaardigheid en kapasiteit van tegniese bestuur in diens van die munisipaliteit. Munisipaliteite met toepaslike begrotings en befondsing om personeel aan te stel en op te lei het ’n neiging om beter te presteer met kapasiteitsbou van operasionele personeel as die wat aan ’n gebrek ly van befondsing. Die vermindering van nie-inkomste water (NRW) het sterk korrelasies met tegniese bestuur en netwerkherstel personeelvaardighede en ontwikkeling. Munisipaliteite wat personeel met die korrekte vaardighede en ervaring in diens het, gekombineer met bestuur wat dit nastreef om NRW te verminder by wyse van monitering en uitvoering van druk beheer in water netwerke het aansienlik kleiner NRWpersentasies. Ewe noodsaaklik vir die vermindering van NRW, soos geopenbaar deur die ondersoek is die beoefening van interne infrastruktuur batebestuur deur diemunisipaliteit. Daar is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat munisipaliteite daarna moet streef om ’n NRW persentasie van 30% of minder te bereik om finansieel stabiel te word, as gevolg van die korrelasie tussen befondsing van roetine bedrywighede en die opbou van kontant reserwe teenoor NRWpersentasies. Munisipaliteitewat die uitvoeringskoers van beplande waterdienste aktiwiteitewil verbeter, word aanbeveel om onder andere, tegniese bestuurs vaardigheids vlakke en kapasiteit aan te spreek. Munisipaliteite wat nie tegniese bestuursvaardigheid en -kapasiteit het nie, berig dat ’n lae persentasie van beplande aktiwiteite uitgevoer word. Die tegniese operasionele personeel vaardigheidsvlakke en kapasiteit, as gevolg van hul betrokkenheid in die uitvoering van beplande aktiwiteite is ook van groot belang. Die betrokkenheid van lede van die raad by water en afvalwater beplanning en die rapportering van data en kwessies aan die raad verhoog baiemunisipaliteite se vermoëns om beplande aktiwiteite uit te voer. Dit kan hoofsaaklik toegeskryf word aan verhoogde befondsing in situasies waar raadslede beplande projekte ondersteun. Dit is gevind dat die gebrek aan befondsing ’n groot inhibeerder van die uitvoering van beplande aktiwiteite is. Alhoewel ’n meerderheid van die munisipaliteite aangedui het dat hulle begrotings effektief spandeer, word dit egter nie weerspieël in die persentasie munisipaliteite wat beplande aktiwiteite uivoer nie en lei dit tot die gevolgtrekking dat daar n gebrek aan befondsing is. Munisipaliteite wat klem lê op ander gebiede van hul besigheid soos, infrastruktuur batebestuur en beplanning was meer effektief met die uitvoering van die beplande aktiwiteite. Daar is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat tegniese bestuur en operasionele personeel vaardigheidsvlakke en kapasiteit noodsaaklik is vir ’n munisipaliteit om behoorlik te funksioneer. Daar is ook ’n behoefte aan befondsing by munisipaliteite om beplande aktiwiteite uit te voer en munisipaliteite moet finansieel onafhanklik en lewensvatbaar word. Een manier om te werk te gaan om finansiële self volhoubaarheid te bereik, is die vermindering van NRW persentasies. Die data van hierdie ondersoek toon groot ooreenkomste met die literatuur wat geraadpleeg is oor die huidige stand en funksionering van Suid-Afrikaanse munisipaliteite. Die statistiese analise van die MuSSA data het akkurate korrelasies geopenbaar tussen die sleutel prestasie-aanwysers inmunisipaliteite. Die gevolgtrekking kan gemaak word dat die ondersoek in terme van die korrelasie tussen MuSSA vrae gebruik kan word om munisipale besluitneming te help verbeter.

Full textThe study introduces the strategic planning and the use of performance evaluation through indicators for the improvement of service processes in a physiotherapy clinic, with the proposal of systematization of a structured model from the MIDDLE - Model Strategy and Indicators operations proposed by Müller (2014), in two of its three pillars: strategic planning and performance evaluation. The third element of the MID model is management by processes, which was minimally used to support the use of indicators in the study. The study was applied in two stages, as follows: Step 1 - Strategic Planning, organized in four phases and Step 2 - Performance Evaluation indicators, divided into 6 stages. The results of the systematization of strategic planning enabled the company to develop an organizational identity with defining mission, vision, values and vision, plus the involvement of all employees in building strategic objectives able to guide the proposal from step 2, where performance measurement indicators have been structured into three perspectives, namely (i) management, (ii) assistance of physical therapy and (iii) employees. It was concluded that this arrangement was adhering to the characteristics and needs of the company studied and that the MID model can be applied in small business health care, if the physiotherapy clinic, once your application is detailed and easy to understand.

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi verificar se a metodologia do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) permite o alinhamento das diferentes diretivas adotadas pelo Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Bahia (IFBA), visando à definição de uma estratégia única. Para o alcance do objetivo geral, três objetivos específicos foram definidos: (1) identificar e analisar criticamente a missão, a visão, o planejamento estratégico e demais diretivas adotadas pela gestão estratégica do IFBA, (2) entender a relação existente entre o Planejamento Estratégico, o Termo de Acordo de Metas e Compromissos-TAMC e os Indicadores de Gestão do IFBA sob a ótica do BSC e (3) construir e validar uma proposta de mapa estratégico para o IFBA. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, o método adotado foi o estudo de caso, desenvolvido a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os temas que constituíram a fundamentação teórica das análises realizadas foram o planejamento e a gestão estratégica, o Balanced Scorecard-BSC e os indicadores de gestão. A pesquisa documental e a observação participante proporcionaram o alcance do primeiro objetivo específico da pesquisa. Com base nos critérios de abrangência, nível de obrigatoriedade perante instâncias hierárquicas superiores, e compatibilidade com a metodologia do BSC foram definidas as principais diretivas adotadas pela gestão estratégica do IFBA e que serviriam de base para as análises realizadas nesta pesquisa. Para alcance do segundo objetivo especifico, buscou-se entender a relação existente entre estas diretivas selecionadas. O resultado foi a construção de um quadro, o qual demonstrou que a partir das perspectivas do BSC era possível promover o alinhamento entre as diretivas que inicialmente apresentaram-se desconexas. A representação gráfica do quadro resultou no alcance do terceiro objetivo específico, quando então foi construído o mapa estratégico proposto para o IFBA, o qual foi validado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com a alta gestão do Instituto. Como produto desta validação surgiu o mapa estratégico ajustado conforme sugestões dos entrevistados. Como produto desta validação surgiu o mapa estratégico ajustado conforme sugestões dos entrevistados. Assim, apesar das lacunas encontradas, a pesquisa concluiu que a metodologia do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) permite o alinhamento das diferentes diretivas adotadas pelo IFBA por meio da utilização de instrumentos a exemplo do quadro e do mapa estratégico Este alinhamento foi desenvolvido a partir do estabelecimento das relações de causa e efeito entre os objetivos do PDI e as metas do TAMC, sob a lógica das perspectivas do BSC e dos indicadores de gestão. Por fim, alguns fatores limitadores e sugestões de pesquisas futuras foram apresentados. The objective of this research was to determine whether the methodology of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) allows the alignment of the different policies adopted by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Bahia (IFBA), in order to define a single strategy. Three specific goals were defined to achieve the general objective: (1) identify and critically analyze the mission, vision, strategic planning and other policies adopted by IFBA’s strategic management, (2) to understand the relationship between strategic planning, Targets and Commitments Agreement Term-TAMC and IFBA’s management indicators from BSC perspective and (3) to construct and to validate a strategy map proposition for IFBA. This research holds a qualitative nature and adopts the case study method, developed from literature, documentary review, participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The constituent themes of the theoretical basis concerning the performed analysis were: planning and strategic management, the Balanced Scorecard-BSC and management indicators. Documentary review and participant observation provided the achievement of this research first specific goal. Based on criteria including coverage, level of subordination to hierarchically superior cells and compatibility with BSC methodology, the main policies adopted by IFBA’s strategic management were defined, those of which would serve as a base for the analysis performed within this research. In order to achieve the second specific goal, it was necessary to comprehend the relation between those selected policies. This process entailed the construction of a framework that has shown that, from the perspectives of the BSC, it was possible to promote the alignment between said policies, which, at first, seemed unconnected. The graphical representation of the framework resulted in the achievement of the third specific goal, when it was built the strategic map proposed for IFBA and validated through semi-structured interviews with the high management of the Institute. As a product of this validation, the adjusted strategy map emerged, in agreement with suggestions from respondents. Therefore, despite gaps found, this research concluded that BSC methodology allows the alignment of the different policies adopted by the IFBA through the use of instruments such as the framework and the strategic map. This alignment was developed through establishing cause-and-effect relations between PDI objectives and TAMC goals, from BSC and management indicators rationale. Finally, some limiting factors and suggestions for future research were presented.

Full textO intenso crescimento econômico que o Brasil tem experimentado nas últimas décadas e seu consequente explosivo processo de motorização resultaram em um impacto indesejado: a tendência contínua do aumento do número de mortes no trânsito. Este estudo apresenta uma pesquisa acerca de índices e indicadores com o objetivo de fornecer evidências gerais e desagregadas sobre o desempenho da segurança viária e metas de redução no número de mortes no Brasil no âmbito estadual, levando a exposição em consideração. A intenção é embasar uma análise estratégica da segurança viária no país e contribuir para melhorar este cenário crítico. A estrutura metodológica desta tese consiste das seguintes três partes principais: (I) diagnóstico da situação da segurança viária no nível estadual utilizando informações relacionadas ao resultado final, em particular dados de risco de morte no trânsito; (II) estabelecer uma meta para o número de mortes no trânsito para cada estado; e (III) sugerir domínios para melhorias baseado em pesquisa de indicadores de desempenho da segurança viária voltada a três domínios (usuário da via, ambiente e veículo). Sob a ótica do benchmarking, dividiram-se os estados brasileiros em três clusters para proporcionar comparações mais realistas dos desempenhos estaduais. Após uma etapa de coleta e seleção de indicadores, utilizou-se o método de Data Envelopment Analyis (DEA) para executar as diferentes etapas, com a aplicação de quatro tipos distintos de modelos especialmente desenvolvidos para os propósitos da pesquisa. Além disso, por meio de bootstrapping dos escores obtidos com a DEA, mediu-se a sensibilidade dos resultados a possíveis variações nos dados de entrada, no que diz respeito a, por exemplo, qualidade e disponibilidade dos dados. Como resultado, propicia-se, a partir de diferentes perspectivas, um diagnóstico da segurança viária por estado, assim como metas no número de mortes: para todo o grupo de usuários (motorizados e não-motorizados), ocupantes de veículos motorizados, e finalmente uma avaliação desagregada por meio de quatro modelos separados (para motocicletas, automóveis, caminhões e ônibus). Adicionalmente, a pesquisa de indicadores de desempenho da segurança considerando a hierarquia de 27 indicadores expressou os desempenhos relativos dos estados nos principais domínios da segurança viária. Por fim, perfis estaduais compilando todas estas informações resumem os resultados para os estados.
Rolfsdotter, Karlsson Annika. "Managing Performance Measurement : A study of how to select and implement performance measures on a strategic, tactical and operational level." Thesis, University of Gävle, Department of Technology and Built Environment, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-662.
Full textThe main purpose of this study is to define important criteria to consider when selecting and implementing performance measures on a strategic, tactical and operational level. The thesis is built around the questions "What to measure" and "How to measure". Generally within the thesis the question of "what" concerns different frameworks and working procedures that can be used to determine what to measure, while the question of "how" concerns criteria to consider when implementing performance measures, such as how to design measure formulas and targets, how to communicate measures, etc.
The study has been conducted as a qualitative study, where the empirical data has been collected through interviews and by using information material from the case company. The purpose of the case study was to test the theoretical framework. The studied case company was Sandvik Process Systems, a product area within the Sandvik group. The case study was complemented by two minor comparative studies of companies also belonging to the Sandvik group. In total the study comprised interviews with 15 persons within different organizational levels.
Several different frameworks aiming to help organizations to answer the question of what to measure have been developed during the last decades. The frameworks differ more or less, but theorists appear to agree on several matters. My conclusions of the most important criteria to be taken into consideration when answering the question of what to measure is:
* Complement the outcome measures, i.e. the financial measures that show the results from past efforts, by pro-active performance drivers - the measures that drive the future performance
* Ensure linkage between performance measures and company vision and strategic objectives
* Involve the co-workers in the process of developing measures
* Use an overall comprehensive view and methodic approach
* Limit the amount of measures
* Retain the methodic approach – manage the performance measurement system
After answering the question of what to measure there are also a number of important criteria to consider when it comes to how to measure and implement measures into the organization:
* Define measure purposes
* Assign reasonable targets to the measures
* Consider the field of application when designing a performance measure
* Communicate the performance measures
* Specify the measures
Despite attempting to simplify a complicated reality the frameworks aiming to help organizations to select measures are all rather complex. Hence, to develop and implement a PMS (Performance Measurement System) by the book will imply an extensive project for any company. How time- and resource demanding the project will become will differ from one company to another. Thus, a general conclusion of this study is that a company must start out from its own conditions in order for the development and implementation not to become too complex a project, where the organization loses focus and fails to manage the project all the way through.
Companies must consider factors such as the size and complexity of the organization, how the business is controlled and managed as well as the structure and control of an already existing PMS. For large organizations, already possessing a rather unstructured PMS, the best approach could be to look upon the development as a constantly on-going activity in the spirit of continuous improvements, rather than a complex project running over a limited time. A vital success factor is also to communicate the intentions to the whole organization at an early stage. If the whole organization is aware of the intention and the purpose this will facilitate the process of developing and implementing a successful PMS.

Full textWith the oscillations of political and economic order, more attention is needed in corporate management. The lack or improvement of the use of management tools in gaucho cooperatives was the origin of this study, which is characterized by being an exploratory and descriptive survey research, with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through the application of questionnaires to the directors of 192 first-degree cooperatives from the OCERGS/SESCOOP/RS System of 2017, or 49,23% of the cooperatives in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The main objective is to identify the management and corporate governance practices used by the cooperatives, some of them are: the "Chairman of the Board of Directors" and the "Chief Executive Officer" positions are divided into 54,01% of the cooperatives in Rio Grande do Sul; 46,45% of them do not have committees; cooperatives are aligned with the principles of governance: transparency, fairness, accountability and corporate responsibility. The specific objectives are to map the profile of cooperatives by branches of cooperativism, to raise the most used performance indicators and to verify the frequency with which performance indicators are measured by state cooperatives. As to the mapping of the profile of the cooperatives in the branches of cooperativism, it can be observed that in "number of associates", "number of employees", "number of cooperatives", "annual turnover" and "working time in cooperative". Branches that stand out in all the questions are agricultural and credit. The other two specific objectives relate to performance indicators and were measured with a nominal scale ranging from "up to 1 month" (1) to "never" (6). The financial indicators used by 100% of the cooperatives are the "general default index". "Net income/ gross monthly income" is the indicator measured with a higher frequency, followed by "gross margin/ net revenue" and "operating expense/ net revenue". The indicators of clients measured by cooperatives more frequently are "effective sales/ number of contracts" and "number of associates". The customer indicator used by 96,8% of the gaucho cooperatives is "number of associates". The indicators of the most frequently used internal processes are "administrative costs/ return" and "percentage of deliveries made on time". The indicator of internal processes used by the largest number of gaucho cooperatives is "leftovers for associates". The indicator of learning and growth used by the largest number of cooperatives (178 and corresponds to 96,7%) is "turnover". The indicators of learning and growth measured more frequently (up to 1 month) by cooperatives in Rio Grande do Sul are "production" (111 cooperatives and corresponds to 60%) and "revenue/ number of employees" (109 cooperatives and corresponds to 59,2%). In short, although some practices already exist in the cooperatives in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, it has been found that the management and corporate governance system in accordance with the Code of Best Governance Practices still needs to be implemented. Both theory and practice have shown that management and governance actions intertwine, but there are shortcomings in cooperatives, such as the need for more professionalism; training policies; implementation of committees; use of management control mechanisms and standardization of codes, among them, the code of best practices by branches of cooperativism. The adoption of more management and governance practices would lead RS cooperatives to greater growth, development and better results. The leaders were receptive to the research and reported the need for new, frequent and continuous research, which demonstrates the importance and the lack of cooperativism.

Full textO sucesso das organizações no longo prazo está cada vez mais aliado a capacidade da sua estratégia se adaptar aos desafios e ameaças que se lhe deparam. Para isso, torna-se fundamental a existência de feedback constante sobre o desempenho estratégico, que é facilitado com a utilização de indicadores financeiros e não financeiros que reflictam as áreas críticas em que reside o êxito no longo prazo. Estes podem estar integrados em sistemas de controlo e gestão estratégica como é o exemplo do Balancea Scorecard. É um dos sistemas com maior aplicação e que se ostenta com qualidades para atingir esses objectivos. Inclui normalmente quatro perspectivas; financeira, clientes, aprendizagem e desenvolvimento e processos internos, que por sua vez são compostos por diversos indicadores. Com a realização deste estudo exploratório descritivo identificamos e averiguamos de que forma as empresas da Região Autónoma da Madeira efectuam a gestão de alguns aspectos da estratégia, especialmente a avaliação e o controlo estratégico e que indicadores utilizam. Procuramos igualmente estudar o grau de utilização do Balanced Scorecard neste pequeno e periférico território e a forma como este é aplicado nas empresas. Concluímos com o estudo que o Balanced Scorecard tem uma utilização reduzida ao contrário do Tableaux de Bord com uma implementação considerável. Grande parte das empresas do estudo utiliza a conjugação de indicadores financeiros e não financeiros. Nos primeiros destacamos a não utilização de indicadores como o EVA, nos não financeiros destacamos a satisfação do cliente.
Long term organizational success is increasingly associated to the ability of organizational strategy to adapt to all kind of challenges and threats. In order to do so it is vital to have a constant feedback on the strategic performance. This task has become simpler with the use of both financial and non-financial indicators to identify critical areas for long lasting success. These indicators are part of the control and strategic management systems. The Balanced Scorecard is probably the system with the wider application and display quality. Typically, it includes four perspectives: financial, customer, learning and development, and internal processes, each one comprehending several indicators. This dissertation runs an exploratory study on Madeira Island Autonomous Region (MIAR) largest companies identifying and classifying their strategic management process, and their use of strategic indicators. In this study we were able to access level of the Balanced Scorecard use in the MIAR's largest companies, which is reduced, contrasting with the employ of the Tableaux de Bord that presents considerable implementation. The majority of companies in the study use a combination of financial (mostly EVA) and non-financial indicators (generally on customer satisfaction).
