Abstract:
In this study an attempt has been made to explore the role of technology transfer in the economic growth of Iraq, through the change in the technology itself for the period 1960-1978. For this purpose the economy was disaggregated into seven sectors. The experience of developed countries has shown that technical change is one of the most important factors of economic growth alongside, or even overshadowing, such factors as labour and capital. In the light of technology transfer, developing countries have the advantage of introducing high levels of advancement of knowledge which can be used to induce domestic technical change at later stages. Technical change is normally defined as a shift in the production function, and for this reason two forms of production function were estimated and tested, i. e. the constant elasticity of substitution and the Cobb-Douglas function. Also two specifications (constant and variable) were assigned to technical change. To validate the use of these, statistical tests were conducted to establish the optimum fit. Then the selected form was used to simulate output levels for comparison with actual figures. The techniques used for estimation are both linear and non-linear. Data used are time series in real terms of capital stock and output, as well as number of persons employed. Furthermore in order to judge the importance of technical change to the growth of output on aggregate and sectoral levels, as regards economic growth, comparisons were drawn with existing data from other developed and developing countries, including centrally planned economies.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the existing theories and applications of Multivariate Statistical Process Control, outlines areas of difficulty and proposes a new technique of multivariate process control chart with input-output relationship for optimal process control. The process control techniques developed up to the present time focused on the fast detection of out-of-control signals, and achieved considerable success in that respect. The techniques reported on multivariate process control thus far include extensions of univariate process control charts to their multivariate counterparts, ranging from classical Shewharts charts to modern Cumulative Sum Process Control charts. Alternative approaches in this area include Principal Component Approach, Partial Regression approach, Baysian modelling and sequential tests on detection of change points. Although each method has its own limitation, these new developments have significantly contributed to the achievement of a constant high quality of products and services. The techniques of process control are yet incomplete. They require continuous attention, as production and service technologies are being continuously developed.In particular, the level of automation, re-engineering of production processes and ever demanding economic optimality of technology demand the re-engineering of statistical process control. The CFM chart developed in this thesis would open the door to this area of science and lays a critical foundation for future research

Abstract:
Investments in financial and human capital are cornerstones in R&D organizations longing for profitable business in an increasingly competitive environment. However, another aspect to consider for R&D managers to succeed in terms of increased innovation is clan control, which is a widely described subject in management literature, not least by Ouchi. In this study, relationships between financial/human capital, clan control and innovation were examined in a setting of R&D organizations within the Stockholm-Uppsala region. Positive relationships were found between education and patents issued; and stability orientation and projects completed. A negative relationship was found between innovation orientation and patents issued. In the end a brief discussion concludes the results and directions for further research are proposed.

Abstract:
Increased numbers of women, people of color, and older workers will soon begin to fill positions once held and dominated by European-American men. To aid in such demographic expansions it is estimated that diversity management and/or sensitivity training programs of some sort take place in over half of the U.S. companies with over 100 employees at an approximate cost of 10 billion dollars per year (Lubove, 1997). Such programs are thought to alter attitudes and prepare firms for multicultural staffs and market places. Organizational benefits of such programs are well documented. However, the impact of these programs on employees remains unanswered. Discovering the effectiveness and impact of diversity management training programs on mangers in the lodging industry was the challenge put forth in the present study. The study sought to gain a better understanding of the usefulness of diversity management training programs in the hospitality industry. Specifically, the present study investigated the perceived benefits of diversity management training programs on the individual level by addressing two research questions. The first research question asked if there was a relationship between diversity management training involvement and the personal inputs of various lodging managers. The second question asked if there was a relationship between diversity management training involvement and the personal outputs of lodging managers. The present study used a combination of Adams’ Equity Theory Model, Cox’s Interactional Model of Cultural Diversity, and Charles’ Relationships of Factors Affecting the Recruitment, Retention & Promotion of Blacks Into Upper-Level Management Model. The proposed Diversity Management Training Effectiveness Model identified four major constructs to describe and communicate the potential impacts of diversity management training programs on individuals. Personal inputs, diversity climate (organizational), and personal outputs were utilized to predict lodging managers' involvement in diversity management training programs. Regression analysis, analysis of variance, Pearson Product Correlation Coefficients, Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficients, and Two Mean T-tests were used to analysis the 11 hypotheses generated by the two research questions. The analysis revealed that three personal inputs (age, educational level, and gender) had no relationships with the diversity management training involvement of lodging managers. While loyalty and seniority, also personal inputs did have relationships with the diversity management training involvement, and thus could be used to predict the managers' involvement in such training programs. Revealed also in the study were the relationships between involvement with diversity management training programs and employee personal outputs. Relationships were not found with job/career satisfaction, job involvement, and compensation. Opportunities for advancement were found to be correlated with a lodging managers' involvement in diversity management training programs. While, organizational identification received partial support for the relationship with diversity management training involvement. The model tested in this study provides a means of evaluating the effectiveness and impacts of diversity management training programs on individuals. Forty-nine percent of all managers surveyed felt diversity management training programs were effective to very effective with regards to minority employees, while 50% felt that these same programs were effective to very effective with regards to non-minority employees. The findings also suggest that the involvement in diversity management training programs can increase the overall general satisfaction and organizational commitment of lodging managers.

Abstract:
O objetivo desta dissertação foi avaliar a estrutura e as potencialidades da indústria moveleira do Município de Boa Vista (Roraima). Para a obtenção dos dados, foram aplicados questionários a empresas filiadas ao Sindicato das Indústrias de Marcenaria do Estado de Roraima – SINDIMAR; de um total de 19 empresas, 15 responderam aos questionários, representando 78,9% da amostra. Procurou-se levantar dados de forma simplificada, mas que retratassem a real situação do setor. Além desses dados, se obteve outros de fontes secundárias e de estudos empíricos anteriores sobre o setor, além daqueles fornecidos por instituições como SEBRAE. A idéia foi efetuar sugestões visando o aumento da competitividade do setor, através de melhorias nas matérias-primas, mão-de-obra, tecnologia e design, para agregar maior valor ao produto final. A revisão da literatura focou a teoria da localização, a teoria dos pólos de crescimento e a teoria do desenvolvimento local endógeno, centrada no papel das inovações e dos atores locais. Ao visitar as empresas, procurou-se detectar suas deficiências e potencialidades. Com o diagnóstico da situação atual do setor, se identificou os fatores de seu sucesso e os que vêm dificultando o seu avanço, com o objetivo de motivar os empresários a investir nessa atividade. Constatou-se que a matéria-prima utilizada é oriunda de outros municípios do Estado de Roraima e que cerca de 80% da produção é destinado ao próprio Município de Boa Vista, enquanto que os outros 20% destina-se a outros municípios do Estado. Concluiu-se que o setor moveleiro de Boa Vista necessita de muitas melhorias, tanto no plano tecnológico, com máquinas mais modernas, como do ponto de vista de gestão e logística. As principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelo setor são a carência de mão-de-obra qualificada, a falta de capital de giro para investir em equipamentos apropriados, já que a produção é feita na maior parte de forma semi-artesanal, entre outros fatores. Nesse sentido, o setor necessita de mais apoio de órgãos oficiais de assistência e de crédito, a fim de promover o desenvolvimento do setor, independentemente do porte das empresas.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the structure and the potential of the furniture industry of the City of Boa Vista (Roraima). To attain the data, member companies of the Union of the Woodwork and Furniture Industries of the State of Roraima - SINDIMAR were given questionnaires; of a total of 19 companies, 15 answered and returned the questionnaires, representing 78.9% of the sample. The objective was to get data in a simplified form, but which portrayed the real situation of the sector. Besides the data obtained from the questionnaires, other secondary sources and previous empirical studies on the sector, was used as well as the data supplied by institutions such as SEBRAE. The idea was to effect suggestions aiming at the increase of the competitiveness of the sector, through improvements in the raw materials, man power and workmanship, technology and design, to add greater value to the final product. The revision of literature focused on the theory of the location, the theory of the growth in industrial poles and the theory of the endogenous local development, centered on the role of innovation and local actors. When visiting the companies, researchers sought to detect their deficiencies and potentialities. With the diagnosis of the current situation of the sector, the factors of success and the impairments that make it difficult to advance were identified, with the objective of motivating entrepreneurs to invest in this activity. Evidence shows that the raw material used is sourced from other cities within the State of Roraima and that about 80% of the production is destined to the very City of Boa Vista, while the other 20% goes to the other cities of the State. It was concluded that the woodwork and furniture sector of Boa Vista is in great need of improvement, as much in the technological field, with more modern machines, as in the area of logistic and management. The main difficulties faced by the sector are the lack of qualified labor, the lack of capital to invest in appropriate equipment, since the production is done for the most part on a half-artisan basis. With this in consideration, the sector needs more support from official agencies of assistance and credit, in order to promote the development of the sector, independent of the size of the companies.

The prosperity and decline of the real estate industry will affect the economic development of the whole society. The reason is because during the complicated production process, large amounts of production factor have to be invested in order to get the finished product. When the production factors of the various stages of the real estate reach the optimal scale, the optimal scale curve of the real estate production chain would be the result of the series connection. At the same time, it would result in the real estate operator’s production of value maximization so that the customers would be lured to buy. In other words, when the customers are willing to spend money in order to buy this item, they would approve of the item’s value. Concurrently, the profit of the real estate would be increased. Therefore, consumers would buy not only the real estate itself, but also the various production factors. Through the combination of production factors into complete commodity, the real estate operator would pass on the value of the product to the consumer. This research used the economic production factor theory and the value theory as the basis to discuss the various value variables produced from the developmental process of the real estate. In addition, various variables and the relative intensity of the product value were analyzed. The research subjects were the members of Taichung Real Estate Investment Association. The open-ended questionnaire and in-dept interview were used to verify the relationship between the product value and the production factors.This research discovered that the real estate’s product value was the result of the addition of the various production factors in the production chain, especially the name brand and image. Besides, during the research process, the real estate operators considered some issues as commercial secrets; therefore, first hand sufficient samples were unable to be obtained as a way of verifying the hypothesis “value comes from the price that the customers are willing to pay”. However, this could be verified from some other data. Also, it was discovered that the current Taichung population and urban development have largely moved to the Situan District and the Nantun District. Thus, the commercial activities and living requirements in these two areas are becoming more complete. From the outer appearance, they possess the basic real estate production factors, causing the consumers to be willing to pay a higher purchasing price compared to other areas.

Abstract:
The transformation of China's economy since 1978 is one of the most profound economic transformations in history. Among the most important dimensions of China's transformation is the way rapid economic growth drove energy consumption. All economic activity depends in one way or another upon energy but there is now overwhelming evidence that much of the way we use energy has undesirable externalities, including potentially destabilising effects on the earth's climate system. China is already the world's largest energy user and prospects for future economic growth and therefore energy consumption remain strong. China's energy use is therefore a critical area of analysis. The thesis addresses three core questions. Why has China's energy consumption grown so rapidly since 2002? Is China's economy peculiar in its huge and rapidly growing energy consumption or does it conform to the experience of other countries when they were at similar stages of development? What are the implications for China's energy future? Input-Output Analysis (lOA) and Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) are employed to isolate energy relationships with rural and urban household consumption, government expenditure, investment, trade and production. Data from the 2002 IO table (122 sectors) and the 2007 IO table (135 sectors), China's energy statistical yearbooks and a variety of supplementary sources are used. One key contribution of the thesis is to place analysis of energy use in the context of China's broad economic development, drawing on economic growth literature to do so. The second central contribution in contrast to existing literature is extensive interpretation of results. The results indicate China's very rapid energy use growth between 2002 and 2005 may have been a temporary effect linked to China's WTO membership. China's manufacturing export boom beginning in 2002 drove a large portion of the energy use growth, while energy-saving technological improvements declined between 2002-2005. Longer-term drivers are urbanisation, increasing household consumption, and resumption of policy- as well as market-driven energy saving technological progress. Technological progress has been most evident in traded goods sectors, especially importing sectors. A shift to petroleum rather than coal-based energy was observed. The 12th Five Year Plan calls for significantly slower energy use growth. The analysis suggests implementing changes required to meet energy-use targets will be challenging. In particular, the plan calls for a substantial reduction in investment growth and a shift in production toward services that has so far been elusive. China's energy future carries very important strategic implications. Hundreds of millions of Chinese are now aspiring to higher standards of living, inevitably requiring ever more supplies of energy. Understanding the drivers of China's energy-use growth is crucial if it is to be managed so as to ameliorate the problems associated with energy use while still ensuring the Chinese people can realize their aspirations toward a healthier, more comfortable and more fulfilling life.

The objective of this paper is to explore the nature of intellectual capital and to investigate relationship between intellectual capital and corporate value in Taiwan manufacturing firms. Input-output theory was used to clarify the relationship between the intellectual capital measurement indicators, and to explore the impact of intellectual capital on enterprise value creation process. In this study, we define human capital, process capital, innovation capital and relationship capital as four constructs of intellectual capital. The corporate value is measured by using two different indicators:market-to-book value & Value Added Intellectual Coefficient(VAICTM). The sample included 699 technique-intensive & 658 manufacturing industries,which are listed on the stock market, and all data are collected from Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ). We apply Structure Equation Model to analyze the relationships among four constructs of intellectual capital , and the relationship between intellectual capital and corporate value. The following discoveries were made: 1. 21 key intellectual capital indicators were collected; 2. we find that human capital is the main driver of in the valuation creation process, it includes the so-called “spill-over” effect; 3. the process capital and human capital have indirect effect on corporate value; while innovation capital and relationship capital have direct and positive effect on it 4. we find 11 different channel to create corporate value. Enterprises can use this finding to establish a intellectual capital system model suited to the characteristics of the industry in which the enterprise operates; they should conduct ongoing monitoring and improvement of this model, and should continue to allocate resources to enhance the value of the enterprise’s intellectual capital system.

This study employes the Input-Process-Output ( IPO) framework to examine the roles of competition and performance climate in the relationship between transformational leadership and unit performance. By applying a two-stage dyadic approach to collect research sample from 496 employees and their supervisors in 111 units in a state-owned bank, regression results show that competition and performance climate indeed play mediating roles in the relationship between transformational leadership and unit performance. The study represents an initial effort in an integrated consideration of competition and performance climate, and in so doing, extends the theoretical contexts of the IPO framework. Research results highlight the importance of both leader behaviors and working climate. Research implications and future directions are discussed.

Abstract:
Rock slope stability is a particularly important topic in rock engineering. The circular failure of highly fractured rock slopes is a critical failure mode that can cause severe damage. Over the past decades, significant research has been devoted to soil slopes and failure modes of rock slopes controlled by discontinuities. However, there have been few attempts to systematically study the circular failure mode of rock slopes. Circular failure is controlled by the strength of the rock mass. While the strength of a rock mass is difficult to measure directly, the Hoek-Brown (HB) strength criterion has proved effective and convenient for its estimation. This research presents a systematic study of the stability of highly fractured rock slopes using the HB strength criterion. Both deterministic analyses and probabilistic analyses are included. The relationship between the input (GSI, mi, σci, and their variability) and the output, Factor of Safety (FS) and Probability of Failure (PF), is investigated. Slide6.0 and a limit equilibrium model programmed in Matlab are used for FS calculations; Monte Carlo simulations are applied for PF calculations. The deterministic analysis aims to characterise the sensitivity of FS to the changes in HB parameters (FS sensitivity). A sensitivity graph analysis and an equation fitting analysis are developed. The sensitivity graph analysis displays the relationship between HB parameters and FS directly. The equation fitting analysis fits a large amount of data generated by Slide6.0 with an equation connecting HB parameters and FS, and then determines FS sensitivity from the derivatives of this equation with respect to HB parameters. It is found that slopes with the same geometry and the same FS (but different combinations of HB parameters) can have quite different sensitivity and GSI is the most critical parameter in this respect. With the increase in GSI, FS becomes increasingly sensitive to the change in GSI and that in σci. The probabilistic analysis investigates the relationship between the variability of HB parameters (quantified by the coefficient of variation COV and scale of fluctuation θ) and PF. Its effectiveness in assessing the impact of FS sensitivity on slope stability is also studied. A series of parametric studies are implemented. It is found that there is a strong relationship between FS sensitivity and PF: for slope cases with identical FS and the same COV of input HB parameters, a slope of higher FS sensitivity has a higher PF, indicating a higher risk. The relative contributions of the variability of HB parameters to PF are also compared. It is found that when the COV of GSI, mi, and σci are identical, the variability of GSI makes the largest contribution; however, when these COV are set to their upper-limit values observed in engineering practice, the high variability of σci makes the largest contribution. Finally, the investigation demonstrates that spatial variability of HB parameters (applicable to mi and σci in this study) has significant influences on slope stability. For a slope with FS > 1, the PF increases as the scale of fluctuation θ of HB parameters increases. Also, larger θ makes the effect of FS sensitivity on slope stability more significant.

Above-knee amputees are unable to climb up stairs by prostheses step by step as normal people. This research attempts to observe the motion of normal people when walking up stairs and analyze the kinematic parameters in sagittal plane, including trunk forward tilt angle, hip and knee flexion angles, ankle dorsiflexion angle, and the displacement of center of mass (COM), so as to find the relationship between parameters. Kinematic data are collected using 3-D Motion Analysis system with Helen Hayes Marker Set. A normal male ascends a four-step custom-made stair where two AMTI force plates underneath to measure the foot reactions. The result shows that the trunk tilts forward with almost the same angle. All angles of lower limb joints have significant angular changes. The COM keeps moving upward but moves forward only in two periods during the gait cycle. The gait cycle is divided into nine stages which include two outputs, prosthetic knee and ankle, and five inputs, intact hip, knee, ankle, upward displacement of COM and distance between COM and center of pressure (COP) of intact foot. The relationship between inputs and outputs are thus found through comparison. This may help establish the moving strategy of above-knee amputees to ascend stairs by prostheses and provide design specifications of control of prostheses in the future.

This research is focused on developing a computerized adaptive diagnosis evaluation system of C++ language to diagnose and evaluate the problems students encounter in learning C++ language. This can provide the students a tool to self-evaluate and know where they problems in learning language is. In addition, this gives teachers a reference to supplement the teaching. According to expert structure, we find out knowledge-structured computer programming courses. In my personal teaching experience, after analyzing and summarizing, C++ language is knowledge-structured and hierarchical. Therefore this article takes C++ language as the research subject. As we all know, computer evaluation takes less time, comparing to paper work evaluation. So, in this research we try to develop a module of C++ language diagnosis and evaluation according to ability point and knowledge structure. This will help latter transformation of computer evaluation. We also discover how to divide students into 2 groups: one is class room teaching group and the other is computer assisted learning group to supplement teaching according to individual student evaluation. This research is a self-designed computer assisted diagnosed student learning software to know for a junior college student’s problem in learning C++ language. We use knowledge structure to observe the process of student learning. This contributes very good positive benefit to learning. This research has the following summary: Knowledge structure diagnosis evaluation program is a useful and assisting tool to improve the teaching methods. We suggest that the courses of other field can also use the application of knowledge structure evaluation to supplement teaching, make the reference to teaching material, and suggest the following-up research.
