This thesis looks at two back-to-back disruptive supply chain events, one due to a sole-supplier's bankruptcy and the other caused by Hurricane Rita, that occurred at a specialty chemical company, and uses these examples to demonstrate how managing crises is more costly than managing risks. In examining the events surrounding the sole-supplier bankruptcy, managing a crisis cost this specialty chemical company 45% more money than managing a risk. Through the findings of these two disruptive events, a framework, the Eye of Providence, is created to manage supply chain risks. First, an organization must determine how developed its risk-management protocol is. Next, by studying past disruptive events and determining the key impact factors, an organization could calculate and learn about the opportunity cost of managing crisis. Then, by continuously evaluating its suppliers and rigorously applying those key impact factors to the analysis of its supply chain practice, an organization could evaluate and identify its current vulnerabilities.
(cont.) Finally, by proactively monitoring event-based warning signals, or disruption indicators, an organization could assess its potential supply chain risks, and plan accordingly. Whether a company is low on the risk-maturity level or has already integrated risk management into its corporate culture, the process developed in this thesis serves as a versatile tool that can help businesses structure a more dynamic, resilient supply chain.

Full textAny economy is based on the production and consumption of material or immaterial goods. Development is the process that creates a concise concept of a product. To develop good products within a given frame of time and resources is one of the most challenging and most important tasks within an economy. We state the common features within development project management for several different kinds of products. Most general issues are the model transformation and decision making process at phase transitions.

Full textAs traditional data acquisition systems give way to network-based data acquisition systems a new approach to instrumentation configuration, management and analysis is required. Today, most flight test programs are supported by traditional instrumentation systems and software. Pockets of network-based systems exist but are typically entirely new, closed systems. Relatively soon, test articles will emerge with a mixture of equipment. The merger of traditional and networked instrumentation is inevitable. Bridging the gap in software tools is a non-trivial task. Network-based data acquisition systems provide expanded flexibility and capabilities well beyond traditional systems. Yet pre-existing equipment requires traditional configuration and analysis tools. Traditional flight test software alone cannot fully exploit the added benefits gained from such mergers. The need exists for a new type of flight test software that handles existing instrumentation while also providing additional features to manage a network of devices. Network management is new to flight test software but a thoughtful implementation can facilitate easy transition to these modern systems. This paper explores the technologies required to satisfy traditional system configuration as well as the less understood aspects of network management and analysis. Examples of software that meet or exceed these requirements are provided.

Full textCon la popularidad de la Web y, mas recientemente, el amplio uso de las redes sociales, la necesidad de procesar y encontrar información en grafos muy grandes impone varios desafíos: Cómo procesar grafos muy grandes e cientemente, dado que probablemente son muy grandes para la memoria disponible, o incluso si la memoria es su ciente, realizar un paso sobre el grafo es todavía caro computacionalmente? Cómo almacenar esos grafos e cientemente, para ser archivados, o para ejecutar algoritmos de grafos? Cómo descubrir información relevante tal como componentes densos, comunidades, u otras estructuras? Se han propuesto tres enfoques para manejar grafos grandes. El primero es usar formatos de grafos comprimidos que permiten consultas de navegación básicas directamentee sobre la estructura comprimida, sin la necesidad de descompresión. Esto permite simular cualquier algoritmo de grafo en memoria principal usando mucho menos espacio que la representación plana. Una segunda línea de investigación se focaliza en usar modelos de stream o semi- stream de datos de manera de procesar secuencialmente, idealmente en un paso sobre el disco, usando una cantidad limitada de memoria principal. La tercera línea es el uso de sistemas distribuidos y paralelos donde la memoria es agregada sobre múltiples unidades de procesamiento para procesar el grafo en paralelo. En esta tesis presentamos varios enfoques para manejar grafos grandes (con arcos sin etiquetas) considerando los tres enfoques. Primero, buscamos por patrones que aparecen en grafos de la Web y redes sociales los que podemos representar en forma compacta, en particular mostramos como generalizar algoritmos para encontrar cliques o bicliques para encontrar sub-estructuras densas que comprimen ambas. Segundo, basado en estos subgrafos densos, proponemos esquemas comprimidos que soportan consultas de vecinos directos y reversos, así como otras consultas mas complejas sobre subgrafos densos. Algunas de las contribuciones combinan técnicas del estado del arte mientras otras incluyen representaciones comprimidas novedosas basadas en estructuras de datos compactas. Encontrar subgrafos densos es una tarea que consume tiempo y espacio, así que proporcionamos algoritmos de streaming and algoritmos de memoria externa para descubrir subgrafos densos, asi como también algoritmos distribuidos para construir las estructuras básicas que usamos para las representaciones comprimidas.

Full textProvisional Liquidation? The results depict a perspective of the utilisation of a performance management approach to managing people in a very uncertain environment as well as the learning that took place, and also provides a review of the context in which the research methodology, which in this case was Action Research, was firstly chosen and then utilised. The format of the work was done in an Action Research format due to the ongoing nature of the work that was being done as well as the involvement of the researcher as a participant in the work. The research took place through a number of learning cycles, which were mapped out relative to a model of management; to show the reflection and inquiry that took take place. The chapters are designed to generate a greater understanding of the key concepts being used in the thesis. The Introduction paints the background to the thesis, the Methodology explains the philosophy behind the research project, Systems Thinking describes a few of the tools used in interpreting the situation, Models of Performance Management takes us through the established bodry of knowledge, Action Research Learning details some of the cycles of action followed by learning that takes place, Creating a Model of Performance Management attempts to synthesize the learning in such a way that the body of knowledge about Performance Management is enriched, and lastly the Conclusion summarises the paper and provides some implications.

This dissertation investigates how choices by managers in research and entrepreneurial settings affect innovation and entrepreneurial outcomes. In the first three chapters, my coauthors and I consider the role of grant-makers in inducing exploitation or exploration among grant recipients at ARPA-E. We use internal data from ARPA-E project selection and quarterly performance reviews to show how active project management enables risk mitigation across a portfolio of projects. In the fourth chapter, we consider a set of decisions made by entrepreneurs related to technology commercialization. Specifically, this paper reconceptualizes the Technology S-Curve not as a technological given but as an envelope of potential outcomes derived by managerial action. We define and investigate a choice-based approach along several key dimensions of technological options, including the tradeoff between exploration versus exploitation, generality versus specialized versions of a technology, and modular versus systems-oriented innovations. In the fifth chapter, I empirically assess I-Corps, an entrepreneurial training program at the National Science Foundation. Using data from the last 11 years of NSF-grant awardees, I find that entrepreneurial training reduces perceived barriers for academics to commercialize their research, resulting in the formation of more innovation-driven enterprises. The results are particularly important for early-career academics, for example graduate students and post docs. The results also confirm that barriers to commercialization are higher for women and academics in locations that are not traditional hubs of entrepreneurship.

Full textThis research was undertaken primarily to develop a conceptual model of service quality showing the Organizational Socialization-Service Quality linkage. Two organizational socialization strategies, namely, Formal and Informal socialization were conceptualized to influence the participants in the service encounter (the service customer and service employee), and the customers' perception of service quality. Since the literature suggested that a number of variables mediate or intervene in the organizational socialization-service quality linkage, the following variables were also included in the conceptual model, namely, organizational climate, role ambiguity and role conflict.
