Full textAbstract:
The key focus of this work is on developing manager’s personality. The author, using scientific methods, came to a proposal of an ideal career course of such personalities since their first training for managerial posts to the time when they are able to educate their successors, and therefore, enhance their careers to a higher level. There were used two methods of collecting data – observation and qualitative interviews. The observation took over seven years. Based on evaluation of data, the author reached an embedded theory which he then verified by qualitative interviews with people working in the field. The theory developed by the author was adjusted and divided into two parts based on the processed data from the qualitative research. There emerged two parts of the resulting theory when the dividing aspect was the necessity to arrange some phenomena in terms of time while others pervade through the whole growth period of the manager’s personality. In conclusion of his work, the author had his newly emerged theory evaluated by managers in field to get feedback on its merit. According to the results of the feedback, a compliance with the theory defined by the author can reduce the time needed for educating a manager by half.

Full textAbstract:
This research studies the competencies of International Development (ID) project managers from their perspectives, taking into consideration the contextual factors and the challenges that they face when managing ID projects. The study adopts a constructionist ontological viewpoint and an interpretivist epistemological philosophical assumption. The nature of the research is exploratory with an inductive approach, using qualitative research method. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with experienced project managers in International Development projects. Template analysis strategy was used to analyse the data. The findings show that contextual factors have a significant influence on the challenges that ID project managers face when managing projects. Contextual factors are operating environment, large network of stakeholders and intangible goals of ID projects. Five challenges were identified as the results of the context, namely stakeholder management challenge, beneficiary needs analysis challenge, the challenge of balancing strategic and operational views, capacity building and training challenge and sustainable funding challenge. To overcome these challenges, seven ID project manager competencies were identified management skills, personal qualities, interpersonal skills, stakeholder engagement skills, capacity building skills, and change management skills. These competencies are found to be interrelated and complementary. While the role and responsibilities of ID project managers were also uncovered during the research, the findings on contextual factors, challenges and competencies help to better understand the ID project manager role and responsibilities. This study makes the contributions from both theoretical and practical point of view. With regards to theoretical contribution, our findings expanded on ID project manager competencies as well as relating them to the context and challenges in ID projects. The role and responsibilities of ID project manager is another theoretical contribution in this study. From a practical point of view, this thesis’s findings would be useful for various organizations who deliver ID projects, particularly human resources management. In addition, it can act as knowledge sharing with ID project managers and help in designing and enhancing educational programmes in ID project management. Overall, this could result in better delivery and overcoming the challenges of International Development projects.

Full textAbstract:
WirelessHART standard is becoming a reference as a wireless solution in industrial process automation and control. The WirelessHART network performance is mainly determined by its main component: the Network Manager, responsible for creating and configuring the WHART network, as well as managing routing and scheduling communications between devices. Due to the novelty of the WirelessHART standard (2010), there is not an opensource design or implementation of the WirelessHART Network Manager available. Only Dust Networks has a commercial Network Manager in the market. This fact makes the WirelessHART Network Manager an interesting area of research. In this thesis, we present a layered interface-oriented component-based architecture and the software design for the WirelessHART Network Manager. Furthermore, we give solution to some of the question marks left by the WHART specification regarding the Network Manager operation. Due to the modularity of the proposed design and architecture, the software components can be reused in other WirelessHART devices such Gateway or Field Devices.

Full textAbstract:
ITC/USA 2014 Conference Proceedings / The Fiftieth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 20-23, 2014 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CANetwork-based telemetry systems have unprecedented amounts of flexibility due to the ability to monitor, control, configure, coordinate, and visualize the operations of the flight test system. As a result of this flexibility, multiple tests can be conducted in a single flight; all it takes is reconfiguration of portions of the system. However, management of such a dynamic system is a complex task. As such, the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) Program is currently developing a System Manager application to provide a model for coordinated management of networked telemetry. The System Manager provides a user application for monitoring, controlling, configuring, coordinating, and visualizing the operations of the Telemetry Network System (TmNS) network. This paper describes the key requirements, capabilities, and development approach of the System Manager.

Full textAbstract:
Diversity has entered the leadership arena, as it has all other aspects of life. As we prepare leaders to lead in a more diverse world and train managers in the skills needed to succeed in a competitive society, we must understand what managers’ activities consist of and how leadership styles differ. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the activities of Chief Executive Officers in businesses from a variety of sectors, document differences in male and female leadership styles, and compare these findings with previous studies. Data were collected through observation and creative interviews with three female and three male CEOs, one of which was a minority. The CEOs had been employed in his or her position for at least two years, and the organizations were diverse, successful, and well-known.
Observation notes, dialogue and creative interviews were analyzed using Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) constant comparative method. Variety, brevity, and fragmentation were found in the activities of a contemporary manager, and attitudes toward scheduled breaks, interruptions, outside activities, outside businesses, reflection, communication, technology, and identity were found to be similar between male and female leaders. The CEOs tended to value the importance of breaks, have tolerance for interruptions, participate in outside activities, and establish outside business relationships. Also, they tended to value reflection, have informal and formal ways of sharing information with employees, have been impacted for the better by technology, and have a multi-faceted identity.
Additional qualitative and quantitative research was recommended to further explore how studies can help prepare leaders by understanding the activities and leadership styles of contemporary managers.

Chase, Linda Kay. "Nurse manager competencies." Diss., University of Iowa, 2010. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2681.
Full textAbstract:
Building on a previous 1994 study, this descriptive study reflects on the ever-shifting sands of the nurse manager role. This national survey is based on the Katz (1955) conceptual framework of interrelated technical, human and conceptual competencies. An instrument developed by the investigator for determining important nurse manager competencies was validated using an expert panel of AONE nurse manager Fellows. The research used a web-based survey to collect information from hospital nurse managers via a self-administered competency instrument. Eighty one completed the online survey with complete data for a response rate of thirteen percent.
Findings suggest the highest self-reported nurse manager competency ratings included effective communication, retention strategies, effective discipline and decision-making. In contrast, the lowest self-reported nurse manager competencies included nursing theory, case management and the research process. The associations of nurse manager competencies with individual and organizational variables were studied. The impact of organizational variables of hospital size and span of control had a medium effect. Magnet status impact was unremarkable. Individual variables of gender, age, education, tenure as an RN, and tenure in current position also did not significantly impact competency ratings. A large and medium effect was noted between tenure in the management role on all the competency ratings within the five constructs. The Chase Nurse Manager Competency Instrument underwent psychometric testing as none had been done since the original 1994 study. The 1994 and the 2010 study data was used to determine reliability and validity assessments with positive results. A crosswalk was also completed between the Chase Instrument and the 2005 AONE Nurse Manager Leadership Collaborative Framework and due to the similarities in the five categories the Chase Instrument was revised to reflect the parallel similar headings support the consistencies between the models.
Study findings reveal Nurse managers have to deal with finance and budgeting, patient safety, quality improvement, staff retention, and many other tough topics. They are expected to achieve a blend of clinical and business management with little to no training. Based on the findings the following ten recommendations are provided and include, Provide realistic expectations of the role; Provide a skill assessment and form a plan based on competency development; Provide a structured orientation and development program which includes 30/60/90 day checkpoints; Establish long term mentorship building on the key ingredients of inspiration and role modeling; CNO involvement is critical; Teach Influence; Teach implementation strategies; Create the culture; Invest in Nurse Manager support for Development of Staffing, Financial Acumen and Compliance; Enhance communication skills at every level. Among nursing leadership, the nurse manager role has been identified as critical in the provision of high-performing, effective and efficient care in the patient care delivery setting. This individual is the unit-based CEO responsible for quality, safety, satisfaction and financial performance in alignment with regulatory and accrediting body requirements. Excellence in horizontal and vertical communication is required as this role represents the voice of the direct care nurse at the leadership table as well as the voice of the board of trustees at the unit level.

Full textAbstract:
Project management is entering into every aspect of our work with high speed but a relatively low success rate. Based on research into the current project management literature, this thesis concludes that three elements - a competent project manager, right project definition and right project organization are the key factors that determine the project success. This study focuses on the first of these three factors: selection of a competent project manager. The research process uses a web formed questionnaire based on the 102 Project Management Institute competency elements designed to measure Project Manager Knowledge, Performance and Personal competency. This questionnaire was used to gather data concerning real-world experience of critical project management skills from 16 people who have professional project experiences. Based on this data, a new project management tool was developed to highlight effective project manager selection considerations and effective organizational use of project management analysis and problem solving processes. This new tool attempts to assist the combination of project manager capabilities and organizational capabilities to achieve more effective project success.
As a pilot survey, 16 respondents who have project experiences using a project-management approach were invited to complete the study project management questionnaire. The responses concerning the importance of the various elements named in the questionnaire were analyzed.
The analysis resulted in a profile representing the critical skills associated with project management from the view of the expert respondents. This thesis proposes this profile as a project manager selection method. It also analyzes organizational project management problems in light of the selection model proposed as a way of helping the project manager, project, and organization move toward more sustainable development. As a part of future research, the effectiveness of this tool in distinguishing between effective and less effective project managers will form the basis of potential future research.

Facilitating low level human supervisory control of mission management is highly challenging because of concerns regarding system stability and performance. Previous implementations of mission managers based on C. S. Draper Laboratory?s All-Domain Execution and Planning Technology (ADEPT) are based on an architecture that can be verified to act deterministically with scripted human interaction opportunities. This thesis describes the Human Interactive Mission Manager (HIMM), a general software architecture to facilitate human supervisory control level of interaction based on ADEPT. The HIMM provides operator insight and mission designer interaction mechanisms. These features provide interaction in a controlled but asynchronous way as a baseline service of the HIMM system. The design separates the information used by the operator from the data used by the mission manager so that the addition of asynchronous human interaction will not adversely affect normal execution. To explore the interaction mechanisms and exercise the system, the software was applied to a space domain application. This prototype system facilitates asynchronous input from a human operator to the mission manager.

Mestrado em Ciências EmpresariaisO Social Media Marketing (SMMkt) está a ser cada vez mais utilizado e o número de empresas a desenvolver a sua presença em social media está a crescer. Como consequência, aparecem novos perfis profissionais como o de Community Manager e de Social Media Manager. Este trabalho teve como objetivo compreender o perfil profissional de Comunity Manager e Social Media Manager, a composição e estrutura das equipas de agência onde se inserem os Social Media Managers e Community Managers, e as barreiras e dificuldades percecionadas por estes profissionais na gestão de social media nas agências em Portugal. A abordagem metodológica foi exploratória e qualitativa com recurso a entrevistas semi-estruturadas para recolha de dados primários, complementada com a análise de anúncios de emprego enquanto dados secundários. Os resultados indicam que as agências revelam ter já umas noções das competências e perfis necessários para estes profissionais que gerem o Social Media Marketing. Apesar disso, existe ainda um trabalho a ser feito na divisão de funções e responsabilidades nas equipas de social media em Portugal. Compreendeu-se também que as principais barreiras e dificuldades com que estes profissionais se deparam nas agências são geradas pelo cliente e portanto torna-se essencial existir uma maior noção e preparação por parte destes para o mundo digital.
Social Media Marketing (SMMkt) is being increasingly used and the number of companies developing their presence in social media is growing. As a consequence, new professional profiles such as Community Manager and Social Media Manager appear. The objective of this work was to understand the professional profile of Comunity Man-ager and Social Media Manager, the composition and structure of the agency teams that integrate Social Media Managers and Community Managers, and the barriers and difficulties perceived by these professionals in the management of social media in agencies in Portugal. The methodological approach was exploratory and qualitative using semi-structured interviews for primary data collection, complemented with the analysis of job advertisements as secondary data. The results indicate that the agencies reveal that they already have some notions of the skills and profiles required for these professionals who manage Social Media Marketing. Despite this, there is still work to be done in the division of roles and responsibilities in social media teams in Portugal. It was also understood that the main barriers and difficulties faced by these professionals in the agencies are generated by the client and therefore it is essential to have a greater understanding and preparation by the client for the digital world.

Relatório de projeto do Mestrado em
Informática de GestãoA evolução tecnológica a nível da indústria e de metodologias utilizadas torna imperativo que as organizações adotem novos mecanismos e que estas novas tecnologias reflitam uma maior eficiência para as mesmas. Neste contexto, as organizações apostam cada vez mais na gestão da qualidade, encarando-o como uma ferramenta eficaz para fazer face à competitividade nacional e internacional. Não menosprezam toda a atividade relacionada com a inovação, mas consideram que é fundamental uma base com qualidade, permitindo assim atingir patamares superiores. O presente relatório visa abordar a metodologia e o processo de implementação das normas internacionais a nível geral. O conhecimento adquirido ao longo do percurso profissional no desenvolvimento de um software, bem como em outras competências intrínsecas, permitiram idealizar o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma capaz de gerir e implementar um sistema de gestão de qualidade. com o intuito de que este seja capaz de evoluir e de ser mantido de forma organizada. Com a implementação da ISO 27001, neste contexto, e após a análise de soluções existentes no mercado e da estrutura de implementação e certificação das normas internacionais, surgiu a necessidade de apresentar uma solução que vise facilitar este mesmo processo e que também ajude na manutenção de um sistema de gestão. Para este desenvolvimento foi necessário efetuar um levantamento de alguns sistemas que já existiam nesta área, sendo que as soluções encontradas no mercado não satisfaziam a necessidade de um sistema de gestão de qualidade. Apesar destas permitirem gerir este tipo de sistemas de qualidade, não estão focadas no processo de implementação e certificação das ISO. Deste modo, o QMS4.0 tem como objetivo minimizar esta lacuna identificada e facilitar o processo interno das empresas.
Technological developments in industry and in the methodologies used make it imperative for organizations to adopt new mechanisms and new technologies and to reflect on greater efficiency. In this context, organizations are increasingly focusing on quality management, seeing it as an effective tool to address national and international competitiveness. They do not underestimate all innovation-related activity, but considering that, a quality base is fundamental, thus allowing to reach higher levels. This report aims to address the methodology and process of implementation of international standards at the general level. The knowledge acquired along the professional career in software development as well as in other intrinsic skills allowed us to idealize the development of a platform capable of managing and implementing a quality management system in order to be able to evolve and to develop. be kept in an organized manner. With the implementation of ISO 27001 in this context, and after the analysis of existing solutions in the market and the structure of implementation and certification of international standards emerged the need to present a solution that aims to facilitate this same process and that also helps in maintaining a system management. For this development, it was necessary to make a survey of some systems that already existed in this area, and the solutions found in the market did not satisfy the need for a quality management system. Although these allow the management of such quality systems, they aren’t focused on the ISO implementation and certification process. This QMS4.0 aims to minimize this identified gap and facilitate this internal process of companies.

Full textAbstract:
This report describes an examination project made for the IT consultingcompany Sogeti. The purpose of the project was to develop and modify the translation tool Language Manager (LM) built by Sogeti to be used for translating applications. Employees at Sogeti considered some disadvantages with Language Manager, version 1.0 which among others was that language files for projects were saved at two locations. Partly in resource maps among with the source code of the applications and partly in a database. This was dual work for employees at Sogeti and it also caused redundancy inthe system. Also employees at Sogeti thought that the managing of projects and versioning did not adapt to how the system was needed to be used. The destination by the examination project was to remove the database and only use XML-files to handle languages, and also to make the new Language Manager easier to work with. New users should easily understand how to handle terms and translation in the new application and no manual should be needed to perform tasks. Language Manager version 2.0 should be written in C# .Net Framework 4.5 and the graphical user interface should be created with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Sogeti wished for the Model-View-ViewModel pattern (MVVM) to be implemented. The new tool was supposed to be robust and simple with a future-safe architecture.Den här rapporten beskriver ett examensarbete som genomfördes åt IT-konsultbolaget Sogeti med syfte till att vidareutveckla och omarbeta översättningsverktyget Language Manager (LM) som var tillverkat av Sogeti och som användes till att översätta applikationer. Anställda på Sogeti ansåg att det fanns vissa nackdelar med Language Manager version 1.0 som bland annat var att språkfiler för projekt lagrades på två platser. Dels i resursmappar tillsammans med applikationernas källkod och dels i en databas. Detta medförde dubbelt arbete för de anställda på Sogeti när de arbetade med Language Manager och det orsakade även redundans i systemet. På Sogeti ansåg man även att hanteringen av projekt och versionshanteringen av språkdata i Language Manager version 1.0 inte passade ihop med hur man arbetade med programmet. Målet med examensarbetet var att avlägsna databasen och endast arbeta med XML-filer som förvaring av språk och att Language Manager version 2.0 skulle bli enklare och mer lättarbetat. Nya användare skullemed lätthet förstå hur hantering av termer och översättning skulle göras utan hjälp av manual. Det nya översättningsverktyget skulle skrivas i C# .Net Framework 4.5 och Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) skulle användas för att implementera det grafiska gränssnittet tillsammans med Model-View-ViewModel-mönstret (MVVM).Särskild inriktning skulle framför allt vara mot robusthet, enkelhet och med en framtidssäker arkitektur.

Full textAbstract:
An increase in the number and type of disasters has seen a steady rise in human and financial losses to various communities in Australia. In response to these hazards, during the 1950s many communities implemented civil defence programs. These programs have evolved into technically complex emergency/disaster management disciplines, which are often supported by emergency/disaster managers. In Australia, there are various types of industries that employ emergency managers including business, and various levels of government. There is a paucity of research into the emergency manager and the individuals who fill this role in Australia. To fulfil this fundamental gap, this thesis examines the qualifications, training, knowledge, competence and confidence of emergency managers across Australia. It reviews the existing literature and then compares this through the triangulation of interviews, surveys, job advertisements, legislation and recent disaster reports. The findings from this study indicate that the role of the emergency manager within Australia lacks social cohesion, identity and governance. Underlying these factors are several key issues that include lack of support, financial and physical resources, time restrictions, apathy, industry–specific tertiary qualifications and misunderstandings of the role that often includes emergency services and response as synonyms. Furthermore, it revealed a lack of engagement by organisations to include appropriately qualified emergency managers in the development of key materials, including job advertisement, legislation, and disaster reports. All of which can act as barriers to effective disaster risk reduction and increase costs to communities. Despite the growth and complexity of the emergency manager’s role, there are currently no standards or qualifications required for this position.

Thesis (MBA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2007.The regard for project management as a very effective toolset to handle the rapid changing business environment where organizations have to cope with globalisation, the creation and production of more innovative products in shorter time spans to remain competitive, has grown in popularity. The project management framework offers the organization time, cost, and quality management functions that high lights the project progress reporting to project stakeholders and decision makers. The organization is assured of a higher probability of project successes, and the creation and communication of the perception of project success, as experienced by all project stakeholders through a single point of accountability, and the inclusion of the client in the various stages of the project life cycle. Despite the highly regarded results, the project management paradigm promises its implementers, project management can fail to satisfy the expectations of the project stakeholders. Many authors and researchers alike have identified "leadership" as one of the critical dimensions of a project that can have a great influence on the success of projects. leadership as a concept has been taught by Aristotle many centuries ago to a select few in contrast today leadership is taught by thousands to masses of students at many intuitions. The perception of leadership has evolved over time and this democratisation of leadership has made the concept available to all, at all levels of the organizational structure. The successes of organizations in projects beyond the previously imagined and set boundaries of the past are ample proof of this. Leadership is the key to the creation of human capital through the application of project management.

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (p. 97-98).
We have designed and implemented a software library, called Identity and Certificate Manager (ICM), for managing, using, and exchanging application-level usernames, users' digital certificates, and cryptographic username-certificate bindings. ICM can be used in a variety of personal communication applications, such as chat, email, VoIP telephony, and web browsing. As part of ICM, we designed and implemented a communication-efficient protocol, called Identity and Certificate Exchange (ICE), for exchanging certificates, usernames, and bindings within applications. The protocol avoids sending redundant information by remembering what information has been sent to whom; this feature is critical in low-bandwidth networks. The protocol also implements a robust fail-over mechanism for handling out-of-sync situations. To illustrate the benefits of ICM and ICE, we used ICM in a plugin for a popular chat-client, called Pidgin. The plugin allows users to engage in authenticated communication over any of the chat protocols supported by Pidgin, such as Jabber and Oscar (AIM). The plugin relies on ICE to provide assurances about users' identities and to efficiently disseminate users' certificates.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper investigates fund manager performance in order to determine whether some fund managers are better than others. The focus of the paper is to examine if fund performance is related to the characteristics of fund managers that may indicate ability, knowledge, or effort. The data consists of South African regulated unit trust growth and growth-and-income funds investigated over a seven-year period, and comprehensive and detailed information on the various fund managers supplied by the MoneyMate database from the University of Stellenbosch. The research objective has been to find out whether fund manager characteristics help explain fund performance and risk. Stepwise regression analysis as the research methodology is applied, where the two dependent variables, performance and risk, are regressed on the eight independent variables; manager age, tenure of the manager with the fund, years of education, whether the manager hold a MBA or CA/CFA qualification, management team size, fund age and fund objective. The findings of the study are highly significant and show that fund performance and risk are impacted upon by managers' qualifications. One can expect better risk-adjusted performance from a fund manager who holds a CA/CFA and/or MBA qualification. Results show that these managers outperform managers without these qualifications.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek fondsbestuurder prestasie met die doel om te bepaal of sommige bestuurders beter is as ander. Die fokus van die studie ondersoek of fondsprestasie verband hou met die eienskappe van fondsbestuurders. Die data bestaan uit Suid-Afrikaanse effektetrust groei en groei-en-inkomste fondse bestudeer oor 'n periode van sewe jaar, en omvattende besonderhede van die fondsbestuurders soos verskaf deur die MoneyMate databasis van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die doel van die navorsing is om bewyse te vind wat mag aandui dat fondsbestuurdereienskappe wel fondsprestasie en risiko's kan beïnvloed en verduidelik. Die metode van stapsgewyse regressie word toegepas, waar die impak van die agt onafhanklike veranderlikes (ouderdom van die fondsbestuurder, sy jare by die fonds, sy aantal jare van tersiêre onderrig, of die bestuurder 'n MBA of CA/CFA kwalifikasie besit, spangrootte, ouderdom van die fonds en die fonds se doelstelling) op die twee afhanklike veranderlikes (prestasie en risiko) ondersoek word. Die bevindinge van die studie is hoogs betekenisvol en dui daarop dat 'n fonds se prestasie en risiko's wel beïnvloed word deur die kwalifikasies van die fondsbestuurder. Beter risiko aangepaste prestasies kan verwag word van bestuurders wat 'n MBA en/of CA/CFA kwalifikasie besit. Die resultate toon wel dat fonds bestuurders ander bestuurders uitpresteer wat nie daardie kwalifikasie besit nie.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To assess the effect of upward feedback on the perception gap of manager-rated and subordinate-rated managerial behavior scores using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ).
Design: Phase I questionnaires assessed the use of upward (subordinate to manager) feedback and were used to form Feedback and Comparison groups. Phase II questionnaires included feedback, attitudinal, and demographic questions and the MLQ. MLQ scores were compared between the two groups.
Subjects/setting: Directors of Food and Nutrition Services and Clinical Nutrition Managers and their respective subordinates in a hospital setting.
Statistical analyses performed: General Linear Model (using SAS Version 9.2, Cary, NC) was used to determine the relationships between MLQ scores and questions of interest.
Results: Upward feedback practices in both the Feedback and Communication groups did not correspond to the Phase I reports. Feedback managers did not have higher MLQ scores based on feedback group, manager tenure, and manager implementation of feedback. Managers whose subordinates who enjoyed their jobs had higher subordinate-rated MLQ scores.
Conclusions: Policies and practices of upward evaluation methods are not clear and need to be studied further in a hospital dietetics setting.

Full textAbstract:
Locking primitives are one of the mechanisms used by distributed systems to synchronize access to shared data or to serialize their actions. Depending on the design, the locking service may constitute a single point of failure. This requires the manager itself to be distributed. Distributed solutions that address this using weak consistency models might lead to diverging states which in some cases are not possible to merge within acceptable effort. Solutions that are based on strong consistency models dictate the requirement of a static cluster. We propose a design that combines Multi-Paxos algorithm with a reconfigurable state machine for a locking service. The primary goal of the service is strong consistency with availability and performance as secondary requirements. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a design by implementing it in Erlang and testing it to check if it conforms to specified requirements. We demonstrate that it can provide the throughput required for a large web application while guaranteeing strong consistency.

Full textAbstract:
Women in the Swedish labor market have lower wage than men on average. There are multiple reasons for this gender wage differential. Among other things, processes at the organizational level have been stressed. Some researchers argue that the gender of the manager has an effect on wages and that this effect might differ for men and women. Prior studies have analyzed the potential effect of manager gender on wages, but few empirical studies have scrutinized the question. The studies that exist use the proportion of female versus male managers in the organization as a measure of the effect of manager gender on wages. This paper however offers a direct test of the association of the gender of the immediate manager with men’s and women’s wages. Specifically, two hypotheses were tested: that (i) a female manager is negatively associated with women’s wages (ii) a female manager is negatively associated with men’s wages. To address the hypotheses, the analysis provides OLS regressions (for men and women separately) using survey data from European Social Survey (ESS) 2004 and 2010. The analysis includes theoretically and empirically relevant variables clustered in block of human capital, organizational and individual level variables. The results show that men’s wages are negatively influenced by having a female manager once human capital was adjusted for. There is no evidence that women’s wages are affected by having a female manager, since the share of women in the occupation and in the firm fully explains the negative association between female manager and wages for women. For female respondents, organizational factors seem to be of greater importance for wage determination than the gender of the immediate manager.
