Повний текст джерелаThis research report sets up a model of policy development at Traditional Authority level in Namibia that is then used in examining the Ovambanderu constitutional case. Reference to the Generic Model, as used by de Coning (2000) and the Moore (1995) Strategic Triangle is not new or original to this thesis. These models have been used elsewhere and were considered as appropriate for this case study due to the complexity of the issues under consideration. This study attempts to demonstrate the importance of applying public policy models and theories to policy making in Namibia. Firstly, the author has applied the generic model to the Ovambanderu case to elicit information pertaining to the process followed in drafting the constitution. Secondly, the Moore Strategic Triangle was used in furthering discussion on the importance of considering phases and stages in the public policy process, which touch on such aspects as political feasibility, substantive value and administrative feasibility (Moore, 1995). The emphasis here was on the importance of dynamism in the policy-making process, not as a once off event but as an ongoing process. This research report shows that public policy/constitution making needs specialised skills in order for it to be a success. Capacity needs to be sourced and used appropriately, while objectives of the policy/constitution are communicated clearly to the stakeholders. Again the fear amongst the community that once a policy/constitution is implemented it becomes binding and difficult to change needs to be addressed by clearly informing people that a policy remains a statement of intent until it is put to use and once it is implemented there is always room for improvement on issues that may create problems for the affected parties. Another important lesson is the fact that public policy making has been and remains a process as it involves bargaining, issue prioritisation, issue filtration, advocacy, reporting and consultation before decisions are made. The Ovambanderu constitutional problem has now set a scene for better policy planning at Traditional Authority level and the government needs to consider this as a serious phenomenon that can lead to major problems if ignored

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Differentiating between health and disease of the respiratory system becomes more challenging due to the tendency of population aging and the need to identify themselves senescence changes. Pulmonary function tests are important tools for respiratory evaluation. Its interpretation is based on reference equations derived from healthy people studies that possibly not accordingly express the behavior at this particular age group, due to the low representativity of elderly individuals in the studies that postulated such equations. Objective: To verify the accuracy of reference equations available for pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary exercise tests in comparison to values obtained in a sample of healthy elderly subjects and assess the clinical impact on functional interpretation based on these equations. Methodology: Cross-sectional observational prospective study in healthy volunteers, aged over 65 years, non-smokers, urban living. Demographic, anthropometric and clinical data, were collected and pulmonary function tests at rest (spirometry, lung volumes measures and diffusing capacity pulmonary), and the maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) were performed. Results were compared to the expected values according to reference equations routinely used for interpretation (paired t-test and evaluation agreement by Bland-Altman plot) and the frequency of cases outside the reference ranges were determined. New reference equations elderly-specific were generated using multiple linear regression. Results: 95 subjects (55 women), age (years) 75 ± 6 (female) and 74 ± 6 (male) were included. Significant difference between the mean lung function parameters observed versus predicted by at least 2 of 3 tested equations for FVC, FEV1, TLC, RV for both sexes were identified. The same occured for exercise measurements (load and VO2 at peak exercise) for 3 of 4 tested equations. There was no homogeneity of a particular author to predict more accurately values observed in the sample tested for all functional parameters in both sexes. There was high rates of out of reference range classification for all evaluated equations. New elderly-specific reference equations were presented from the data obtained. Conclusions: The use of existing reference equations had limited applicability to the sample of healthy elderly studied, generating high rates of under and overestimated values, potentially compromising the sensitivity and specificity of the tests. Age-specific equations were derived from a sample of Brazilian healthy elderly, aiming to represent the physiological changes in this age group

Повний текст джерелаCapacity remuneration mechanisms (CRMs) are widely implemented as an attempt of correcting the real-world imperfections of electricity markets and aligning market outcomes with social optimality. Mainly, many observers doubt theability of the EOM to provide sufficient investment incentives to ensure the security of supply, and CRMs are expected to mitigate the risk of failure. Unfortunately, the numerous real world experiences have led to limited academic publications.In addition, the abundant theoretical literature fails to deliver clear take away messages with respect to the performance ofCRMs in real life conditions. The empirical assessment of CRMs is all the more necessary as their performance depends on a number of country-specific, structural, technical and behavioral parameters, as well on the details of implementation that structure the incentives. Reducing the literature gap from both ends, this doctoral thesis represents the first attempts to empirically discuss CRM performance and design choices. It provides a conceptual reflection on the evolution of CRM designs over time (Chapter 1) and discusses the divergences existing in the quantitative literature (Chapter 2). It also contributesto the discussion on the net cost of such intervention thanks to an econometric cross-country analysis (Chapter4). From a theoretical stand point, an analytical model analyses the preferences for the precision of information available under different capacity market designs (Chapter 3)

Повний текст джерелаThe intensification of cross-sector collaboration phenomena has occurred in multiple fields of action. Organizations in the private, public and social sectors are working together to tackle society’s most wicked problems. Some success has resulted in a generalized belief that cross-sector collaborations represent the new paradigm to manage complex problems. Yet, important knowledge gaps remain about how cross-sector alliances generate value for society, particularly to its beneficiaries.
This study answers the question: How does cross-sector collaboration affect its beneficiary’s capacity for collective action? It uses a qualitative embedded case study design, and theoretical sampling of two general cases of alliance-based interventions in a developing country: Colombia. Two embedded cases within each general case identify evidence of collective action capacity of the beneficiaries.
The study’s findings speak to the management literatures studying collective action at different levels of analysis. Key contributions include a Beneficiaries’ Capacity Building and Expressing Model, which identifies the drivers that lead to collective action, and provide a conceptualization of collective action as installed and realized capacity. Findings also identify and explain alliances’ contributions to beneficiaries’ capacity building: alliances are trust brokers and they create spaces. Alliances also enable beneficiaries to release or actualize that capacity by building bridges, allowing capitals’ circulation and becoming a relational buffer to protect people’s initiatives. Beneficiaries increased capacity for collective action is an outcome that becomes an alliance input, leading overtime to further benefits involving systemic change. Beneficiaries’ increased collective action capacity is a prerequisite to produce changes in larger systems of public policy and/or markets, but beneficiaries need to continue working in collaboration with the alliance as a whole system. The research features a complex collaborative system that changes how actors mobilize resources to generate systemic change. Building on those findings the study also offers an outcome-based conceptualization of alliances value creation at the beneficiary level of analysis.

Повний текст джерелаFor financial advisers, the Risk Profile is a crucial component of delivering the best possible experience to the client. This Risk Profile is composed of Risk Capacity, which relates to the socio-economic situation that the investor finds themselves in, and Risk Tolerance, which is associated with the psychological composition of the investor. Risk Tolerance is vague and of questionable use to the adviser in terms of determining the Risk Profile. Risk Capacity, conversely, can be measured objectively using data that is easy to obtain and process. Risk Capacity then, rather than Risk Tolerance, should be both the focus of academic research and the foundation of the Risk Profile. However, this is not true in reality. This project attempts to correct this misallocation of attention by quantita- tively assessing the determinants of Risk Capacity. It measures the effect that investment horizon, goals, net income, and net assets have on the ability of the investor to take risks using simulations via Monte Carlo methodology, mathematical derivation utilising prob- ability theory, and logical analysis. The conclusions of this project are that investors with a long investment horizon, small and flexible goals, small and stable expenses, and large and liquid net assets are able to take more risk. These findings have varied implications for advisers and supply the framework from which a model of Risk Capacity could be based on.

The intent of this thesis is to conduct a case study on the optimization of blending soft red winter wheat, prior to processing into flour, in order to meet specific solvent retention capacity, SRC, specifications, based on predetermined customer specifications. The thesis will provide the company with a greater understanding of how to effectively manage the customer’s demands, and the costs associated with these activities in order to create greater customer value. If optimizing wheat blends is successful, the company will be able to provide similar SRC information to other customers as a value added service. (Solvent retention capacity) is a test that provides analytical data that measures three specific physical components within soft wheat flour. Traditionally, wheat flour is sold according to moisture, ash, protein content, and basic dough characteristic data; though this information is important, SRC provides specific flour functionality information that will aid customers. SRC examines the: glutenin characteristics of the flour, pentosan content and gliadin characteristics, and the starch damage from the milling process. These values describe the functionality of the flour and provide information regarding the flour’s ability to absorb water during the mixing process and the flour’s ability to release that water during the baking process. SRC quality endpoints include: reduced mixing and baking times, reduced levels of breakage after baking, and greater overall ingredient consistency throughout all the customer’s commercial bakeries. This thesis develops a process that the company may use to meet SRC quality specifications determined by the customer. The company gains customer loyalty by supply a consistent product to the customer. This product in turn yields savings for the customer in the areas of lower water use, shorter baking time and consequently lower energy use.

Developing a wind farm involves many variables that can make or break the success of a potential wind farm project. Some variables such as wind data (capacity factor, wind rose, wind speed, etc.) are readily available in map form. However, other variables such as complications that may arise while working with landowners and local governments, and negotiating with utility companies for a power purchase agreement can be challenging, particularly when there are other competitors involved. This thesis discusses an analysis tool that could potentially be used by wind developers to look at large areas of land, and be able to predict when an area that previously was not considered to be attractive for wind development could suddenly become attractive if for instance the government passes a law mandating new subsidies that were not in existence before. The analysis tool would allow the user to input the new subsidy or any other new variable and see how this affects the feasibility of wind development in an area.

Повний текст джерелаToday’s dynamic environment requires firms to adapt their business models as a new source of competitive advantage. This poses significant challenges to firms that are locked in their long-established structures, like family firms. These firms are often confronted, during their life cycle, to evolutions in their business models due to organizational constraints, but also threats and opportunities of their environment. The objective of this research is to explore, by qualitative multiple case study, the BM evolution process and dynamic capabilities that allow the configuration of family business models to evolve over time in order to create and increase value. For this purpose, dynamic capabilities are essential for firms to exploit opportunities and respond to environment changes in general. They are particular important for family firms due to the desire to succeed for future generations. Given that family involvement in business creates idiosyncratic motivations and long-term characteristics that considerably affect the firm’s behavior, this research shows that family businesses reduce environmental uncertainty and dependence by developing their business model, changing the logic of creating and capturing value through their activities. The characteristics of these firms allow them to promote simultaneously exploration and exploitation processes leading to an organizational ambidexterity. Furthermore, our findings reveal strong sensing and seizing as well as transforming capabilities as relevant antecedents of business model evolution and stress upon the important role played by family in balancing internal and external influences, shaping the scope and complexity of business model evolution, and creating specific path dependencies

The factors that generate this scenario are related to the incorrect distribution of work areas, the absence of standardization of the production process and unorganized workstations in the production line. The application of 5S’s tool, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and a proposal for plant design are presented to solve the problem. After the application of the design solution, it was identified that 1 h and 23 min can be saved in transfer times, which can be invested in the manufacture of more products, improving the use of the plant’s capacity.

Revenue management has been applied to the restaurant industry, but restaurant operators have been disinclined to apply various types of RM approaches, due to apprehension for customer's possible expressions of dissatisfaction. To relieve this reluctance, restaurant operators may need to understand how their customers perceive capacity limitations. While customers are more familiar with RM practices in traditional RM industries (e.g., airlines or hotels) with fixed capacities, perceptions of capacity limitations in restaurants (relatively flexible capacity) may influence customers' perceptions of RM practices. In addition, the price difference between high-demand periods and low-demand periods may have differential impacts on customers' perceptions of value of the restaurant's expected offering and the fairness of RM practices. Based on commodity theory and equity theory, this study hypothesizes that two main effects, perceived scarcity of space in a restaurant and price differences between high-demand and low-demand periods, influence perceived value of a restaurant's offering and fairness perceptions of a restaurant's RM practice. As hypothesized, the negative effects of price difference on fairness perceptions are supported by the results, but the effect on perceived value has support only from the results of structural equation modeling. Unexpectedly, the main effect of perceived scarcity of space does not influence either perceived value of a restaurant's expected offering or fairness perceptions for a restaurant's RM practice. Interesting results arose found from supplementary analyses and suggest future research directions.

Повний текст джерелаIn the increasingly dynamic environment of information technology, it has become imperative that organizations continue to seek ways to effectively capture and measure knowledge in order to survive. With the emergence of a global economy and information networks, the knowledge creating capacity within organizations has grown tremendously. As a result, organizations are now shifting their focus to management of the knowledge used in executing processes and producing products. As demand for quality products and services continues to grow, companies must now find ways to effectively manage knowledge intensive processes in order to increase overall process capacity. Through business process reengineering and the KVA methodology, this thesis will seek to identify ways in which the performance of knowledge assets can be measured and make recommendations to improve the capacity of knowledge intensive processes, better enabling organizations to meet increased demand.

Повний текст джерелаIn Information Technology (IT) service management, the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) has been established as a standard and framework for managing IT services within private and public sector. However, in South African public sector, the value of this framework including the capacity management process has not been determined. The aim of the study was to assess the capacity management process within the service design stage of the ITIL framework in managing IT services at a selected public organisation in South Africa. Assessing capacity management in the context of this research was to judge whether it adds value to the organisation. Main questions asked were: to what extent has ITIL been implemented in the public sector in South Africa?, what benefits have been achieved through the implementation of ITIL in the public sector in South Africa? and how effective is the capacity management process of ITIL in the South African public sector? The study adopts a qualitative approach based on primary and secondary data. A purposive sampling method was used to collect data through interviews of ICT officials in Pretoria and Western Cape regions. It is evident in terms of the findings that capacity management within the organisation is practiced, but the organisation still has challenges in managing the process. Findings reveal challenges around user account management, ICT skills shortage and capacity constraints, information, network monitoring tools, and ITIL implementation. DeLone and McLean theoretical framework was used to analyse the capacity management process to explain the findings. A lack of clear ICT planning among the leadership is a contributing factor. Lack of adhering to standards, procedures and processes make it almost impossible to manage capacity. Efforts to address the technical and organisational challenges such as technical skills and stakeholders immediately reporting the users that need to be terminated on systems prohibit the success of capacity management process. Drawing the conclusion, it is recommended that efforts to address challenges should move beyond just ICT, into a comprehensive action by all stakeholders in respective of inter departmental units and executive who make decisions. Solutions should be embedded with ICT being able to manage technology, auditing of processes, and capacity to ensure excellence through reduced risk, increased efficiency, confident forecasts, and cost effectiveness is essential.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis proposes a reflection on the values of work based on the work of Martha C. Nussbaum, her conception of capabilities, good life and justice. We defined the value of work in terms of its effects on the abilities of the worker and other stakeholders. Defining work values based on relational capacities makes it possible to account for essential dimensions that work allows to develop and that each human being values: self-respect, the quality of interpersonal relations or positive interactions with the natural and cultural environment, so as to preserve the good life today and tomorrow. In this way, we shed light on the challenges and aims of good working life, based on an anthropology and relational ethics inspired by Aristotle and Kant. Following this approach, the work is also part of an institutional framework that aims to guarantee access to capacities for all, and in particular for those excluded from them.As a counterpoint to purely instrumental approaches to the value of work, utilitarian and neoclassical in inspiration, this conception of work values is centred on its aims, in terms of human functioning and good life, on an individual and collective scale.The practical scope of this research consists in highlighting the tensions to which contemporary work is subjected and in proposing an approach to evaluate, in a more accurate way, the capacities of the human beings who are committed to it. It thus opens the way to reflection for economic players - teams, entrepreneurs, investors - who would like to draw inspiration from the proposed framework to change their business practices and models, by promoting an economy that would be more attentive to the quality of relationships between stakeholders

Method – Effects of legislative changes have been studied through a case-study of how HCT would affect the Swedish transport system. In order to study business model implications for both vehicle manufactures and hauliers, interviews have been held with transport buyers, hauliers and drivers within long distance haulage of break bulk cargo. This has been complemented by continuous contact with the commissioning vehicle manufacturer and participation in HCT conferences. Findings – Findings indicate that there will be no major modal shift between railway and road since the railway infrastructure determines the modal choice and is unaffected by HCT. Furthermore findings show that vehicle manufactures risk to sell fewer vehicles in case of HCT allowance but a business model adaption can increase the value per vehicle. This can be achieved by reducing customer operating costs, increasing vehicle uptime and being the voice of the customer against authorities. Practical implications – The study has resulted in a HCT business model framework for vehicle manufactures. The framework shows that all present value areas should be included in a future business model and that several areas will increase in importance. In the effect of new conditions several areas will become more difficult to fulfill. Furthermore new areas will be added. Theoretical implications – This study expands current theories within business model changes by increasing knowledge about how legislative changes affect business models. Furthermore this study highlights the importance of studying the whole supply chain in the event of these changes. The reason for this is that legislations affect the conditions for several players with strong peer relationships. Thereby effects due to changed legislations will spread to other players in the chain.

Повний текст джерелаPotato virus Y (PVY, genus Potyvirus) is transmitted by aphids in a non persistent manner. This constituted by an increasing proportion of the especially damaging necrotic isolates (PVYN). To improve sanitary selection procedures, a new tool allowing the detection and characterisation of PVY genotypes has been developed. For the first time, this tool, based on SNaPshot technology, targelets molecular determinants involved in PVY necrotic ability (polymorphisms A/G2213 and A/C2271). This innovative tool i) allows the characterisations of PVY isolates according to their ability to induce necrosis, ii) allows the characterisation of viral genomes in groups (PVYo, PVYN) and sub-groupes (PVY NTN, PVYN-W) in single or dual interactions and iii) has an especially low detection threshold (10 copies). For a better comprehension of the mechanisms which have led to the epidemiological observations, the impact of the necrotic ability of PVY fitness has been measured. Two isolates and three genotypes mutated at position 2213 and/or 2271 have been used. Experiments were performed during single and mixed infections, serial passages and aphid inoculations. Obtained results show i) a cost of necrosis property of fitness, ii) a serial passages and aphid inoculations. Obtained results show i) a cost of necrosis property on fitness, ii) a serial passages and aphid inoculations. Obtained results show i) a cost of necrosis property on fitness, ii) a major role ov viral genetic background, PVYN-605 genome being associated to a higher competitiveness than major role of viral genetic background, PVY N-605 genome being associated to a higher competitiveness than PVYo-139, iii) interactions between nucleotides 2213 and 2271, and viral genetic background, iv) host dependant compensatory effects between these two factors

Повний текст джерелаToday, the business affair tends to replace the organization as a unity of activity. It becomes the center of performance and costs management. In the industrial organizations managed by business affair, using a management system of the performance of engineering of business affairs, in terms of creation of value, is a pregnant need expressed by a great number of business engineers. The new term of “piloting” is linked to the rising of constructivist thinking which brings to the fore the function of the actors of the organization in the interpretation and the representation they have of the indicators measurement. To move from control to piloting, we are changing simultaneously of paradigm from measurement to interpretation, and in the meantime from decision to action. In front of conceptual, methodological and temporal limits of the actual cost methods, generally set up in the organizations to manage the process of creation of value, to balance from a cost logic to a value logic, our research suggests substituting the cost management control for the value management control. Our works are based on resources and competences theory, the dynamic capacities approach and the cognitive of value based view in the process of creation of value. The thesis defended is: the global performance of a business affair has to be managed with a single indicator and as a source of creation of value, a Meta Key Performance Indicator (MKPI), which, with the appropriation by the actors of the structural elements (reflexive piloting), transcends the organization and the architecture of the management control system. Our empirical research approach is based on an exploratory case study followed with an engineering research in an industrial firm of the aeronautical sector

The extent of this research paper has been limited to one of the functions in the company’s operating procedures, involving external collaboration partners’. With a qualitative approach the researchers’ have examined the company’s procedures and analysed it against relevant theories. The researchers’ have investigated the importance of the gathering and absorbing of external information for value-creation. The result shows that the gathering of external information is extremely important and the researchers’ have constructed a business model in order to systematically conduct external knowledge sourcing to create value and innovation.

Повний текст джерелаThe need for a basic level of stability in the value flow has been emphasized in several studies, as a prerequisite for the implementation of sustainable principles and practices of lean production (LP). In view of the lean production, the stability is multidimensional, and should include all the production elements that are excessive variability potential sources. In this context, this research proposes guidelines to evaluate the stability of a value flow from the perspective of lean production. Besides, indicators are proposed for the evaluation of a value stream of prefabricated materials for the building industry. With this aim, the research was conducted in the following steps: bibliographical review; exploratory study and study case. The collection of field data was developed in the company that produces pieces of concrete precast, destinated to for the building industry. In the exploratory study, it was possible to identify mechanisms to assess the stability of the value flow for one product family, considering the stability of manpower, materials, machines and methods (4M). In the case study, evaluation mechanisms were applied, re-interpreting the data already available in the company and creating new data when necessary. Based on field studies results, and literature review, there are identified five steps to evaluate the stability of a value flow: (a) to develop a value stream mapping of the current state (VSM); (b) to evaluate the 4M stability and capacity in each stage of the value flow; (c) to develop improvements that contribute to the stability and capacity, representing them in the VSM future state; (d) to establish an action plan to deploy the new VSM. It is also important to mention that, as explained in steps (b) and (c) the assessment of stability must necessarily be followed by the capacity assessment, because it is not enough that the processes are stable if they do not follow the internal and external customers’ targets.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this grounded theory research is to explore ‘to which extent firms can achieve value from big data analytics (BDA), in order to improve firm performance’. BDA is dramatically influencing the way firms perform and compete within the digital era. In this light, BDA has become the trending issue that generates innovative solutions and valuable insights through predictive approach. Despite the hype surrounding BDA value creation, it has not fully understood the features drive value and sustain competitive advantage from BDA. Using the classic grounded theory, this thesis conducted interviews with twenty-two executives from different firms. Through substantive theory, BDA capability is conceptualized as the core competency, which enables firms to accomplish value from BDA, transform the business into the data-driven approach, and subsequently enhance firm performance over-time. The core contribution of this grounded theory research focuses on capability building to implement and manipulate BDA. The findings of this study contribute to the knowledge of BDA value creation and digitalization through the following discussions: 1) while the conventional approach about BDA focuses data collection or investment on technologies, the findings indicate the various dimensions (internal and external resources and capabilities) should jointly contribute to building the overall BDA,2) furthermore, these dimensions and their properties create the integrative network, which is incomplete in the absence of individual dimension or their properties, 3) To identify the variables that are influenced by BDA capability, enhancing organizational learning is introduced as the “hidden value” of BDA capability, which is the dynamic process, and consequently develops sustained competitive advantage, 4) Within the digital era, BDA is the primary digital asset, as well as, digital lever. In this light, BDA capability fosters digital transformation through providing prerequisite capabilities, 5) Drawing resource-based view, knowledge-based view, and dynamic capability the conceptual model of this research is addressed through the combination of different resources (tangible intangible and personnel-based resources) and capabilities.The conceptual model demonstrates the direct effect of BDA capability on firm performance, as well as, the indirect effect that is mediated by organizational learning

Повний текст джерелаThe two case studies concern an approach of the strategic dashboard of a hospital and the reorganization of an IT department in a services company. We have, in this research, analyzed the brakes which appear in the technological and managerial change approaches. In the first study case, we have showed how the Balanced Scorecard model can be adapted to pilot a projects program and to promote a cooperative way of working, under the condition of an evolution of the managers role. In the second case we have shown how the quality approaches lock themselves in a counter-productive logical of quality-conformity which is not due to a lack of training or implication. In the both cases we have noticed that the insufficiency of methodological capacity of the managers strengthens their resistance to change and their difficulties in complex situation We have noticed that the organizational resistance express itself in two times : first level difficulties, nomopathic drifts, appear as a methodological impoverishment of the choosen model, then the corrective actions are followed by second level difficulties who form a phenomena of computo-cogitational deviancy, a kind of organizational resistance who transforms the awaited final state to a hybrid final state. These methodological grants, after a historical analysis of the evolution of quality concepts then of the evolution of the managerial roles, succeeded to meso level reports joining the macro-economic level (financial domination in companies, numeric revolution, bureaucratic revival) to the micro-economic level in companies (paradoxical orders, juridical transformation of society and generalized conformity). A last, several modellings are proposed, in particular the cyclic concept of information-value, and the three-pole figure of the engineer-strategist, towards the sketch of a future model of management of intangibles
