Imai, Thiago Hiromu. "Gestão de crises operacionais em setores regulamentados." Universidade de São Paulo, 2015. http://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/12/12139/tde-16112015-170132/.
Full textAbstract:
O objetivo desta dissertação é compreender a ocorrência de alteração de orientação da operação pós crise operacional (de reativa a proativa). A literatura trata as crises apenas como financeiras ou de relações públicas e não recorre ao termo \"crise operacional\". Por outro lado, junta inapropriadamente as crises operacionais e os desastres envolvendo perda de vidas humanas. Tampouco mostra o lado operacional da solução das crises. Crise operacional foi aqui definida como uma condição abrupta de baixa probabilidade que emerge inesperadamente da deterioração do desempenho operacional (qualidade, rapidez, confiabilidade, flexibilidade ou custo) e conduz a grande impacto negativo ou até a paralisação das principais operações da organização, sem a perda de vidas humanas. A crise operacional pode ser causada por pessoas, sistemas tecnológicos, políticas ou condições econômicas em condição de grande ambiguidade. Ela nasce ao final de dois processos paralelos e acumulativos de imperfeições organizacionais e descontrole gerencial, e requer decisões rápidas. Para analisar as crises operacionais, elaborou-se um novo modelo teórico integrado em fases: \"processo de uma crise\", \"resolução da crise\" e \"aprendizado pós-crise\", assim como um \"evento detonador\" da crise. Como objeto de estudo, escolheu-se examinar duas crises de setores regulamentados devido a evidencia do evento detonador da crise: a interrupção da comercialização de serviços pela agência reguladora e consequente início da resolução da crise. Como metodologia, adotou-se o estudo de casos múltiplo nos setores de aviação e de telefonia móvel. O instrumento de coleta para ambos os casos são entrevistas qualitativas, sendo a análise baseada no confronto dos dados obtidos com o modelo segundo a abordagem Extended Case Method. Sugere-se em ambos os casos que o descontrole sobre os processos operacionais e indicadores de back-office levaram à paralisação das companhias. Observa-se que após a crise, novos processos com medidas preventivas foram adotados, o que indicaria a mudança de orientação das organizações. Claramente, essa mudança para a orientação preventiva requer aprendizagem organizacional e sua incorporação ao repertório operacional mediante inovação em métodos, sistemas e processos operacionais, assim como a formação de funcionários treinados e a criação de departamentos anti-crises.<br>The main goal of this research is the understanding of the post operational crisis\' orientations\' change (from reactive to proactive). The literature consider crises just as financial or public relations and does not call upon the term \"operational crisis\". Furthermore, operational crisis and disasters with loss of human lives are inappropriately treated jointly. In the same way, operational side of crisis solution are not explored too. Operational crisis were defined here as an abrupt condition of low probability occurrence that emerges unexpectedly by the deterioration of one or more performance indicators (quality, speed, reliability, flexibility and cost) and leads to a large negative impact or even the paralysis of major operations without human lives\' loss. Operational crisis emerges at the end of a maturation process originated from two parallel processes of cumulative organizational imperfections and lack of managerial control\'s joint. May be caused by people, technological systems, policies or economics\' conditions in a great ambiguity condition which requires quick decisions To analyze operational crises, a new theoretical model was created, integrating the phases: \"crisis\' process,\" \"crisis\' resolution\" and \"post-crisis\' learning\", as well a crisis\' \"trigger event\". Two operational crises from regulated sectors has been chosen as object study due to crisis\' trigger event evidence: the new sales forbidden by the regulatory agency and the consequent crisis resolution process beginning. The methodology adopted was the multiple case study in the aviation and mobile sectors. The collection instrument for both cases were qualitative interviews and the analysis based on the data obtained and theoretical model\'s comparison in an approach called Extended Case Method. It has been suggested in both cases that the operational processes\' lack of control and back-office\'s indicators\' disregard led to the companies\' standstill. After crisis, new operational processes with preventive measures were adopted, which would indicate a change in organizations\' orientation. Clearly, this shift to a preventive approach requires organizational learning and its incorporation into the operational repertoire through methods, operational systems and processes\' innovation, as well as, trained human resources and anti-crisis department creation.

Santana, Guilherme Guimrães. "Crisis management : towards a model for the hotel industry : an examination of crisis preparedness and stakeholder relationships in crisis situations." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 1997. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/299/.
Full textAbstract:
Crises are inevitable. There is no way to prevent all crises from happening. In fact, in today's business environment crises are an integral part of organizational life. Crisis situations are by nature novel, unstructured, frameworks. Crises are sudden, acute, and demand a timely response. Most man-made crises are in principle preventable. Crisis management is a new field of research that addresses the problems of dealing with crises, and the stress that accompanies crises. Crisis management involves efforts to prevent crises from occurring; to prepare for a better protection against the impact of a crisis agent; to make for an effective response to an actual crisis; and to provide plans and resources for recovery and rehabilitation in the aftermath of a crisis. It is no longer enough to consider "if" a crisis will happen but rather "when" a crisis will occur, "which type", and "how". There is no doubt that the travel and tourism industry is especially susceptible and vulnerable to crises. It is argued that the hotel industry, given its operational characteristics, management practices (which is strongly influenced by long established traditions), and its operating environment, is even more prone to crises. However, very little has been done to understand crisis (that is, how a crisis evolves, crisis typology, anatomy, and management of crisis). This study describes and discusses all major relevant elements and issues to the emerging field of crisis management. Within the domain of crisis management theory, the study describes and elaborates on critical issues such as crisis typology, anatomy of crisis, crisis planning and training, crisis decision making, crisis communication, and crisis management. It is argued in this study that organizational culture is the most fundamental element in crisis preparedness. That is, organizational culture, not organization structure, size, financial history, etc., is the main determinant of crisis preparedness. The research also argue that stakeholders are fundamental in crisis prevention, crisis management and crisis recovery. 2 This study, in a first instance, examines the crisis preparedness of 33 of the 50 top hotel organizations operating in the UK (HCIMA, 1995). Crisis preparedness is examined in the light of organizational culture. For that, top executives in those organizations were interviewed and responded to two questionnaires. A crisis preparedness framework (or continuum) was derived from the application of factor analysis on the questionnaire data. The results suggest that the hotel industry is not prepared for crises. Given that a crisis is a multi-stakeholder phenomenon (it inevitably involves other agents) this study also explores, building upon the results obtained from the crisis preparedness continuum, the notion of stakeholders relationships in crisis situations. More specifically, the research proposition states that organizations that are crisis "prepared" are more consistent on their opinions about stakeholders' role and behaviour in crisis situations than those organizations that are not prepared for crises. The study confirmed both the research question and proposition. The study also presents an operational definition of crisis management and proposes a model for crisis management.

Systems-of-Systems (SoS) have performed an important and even essential role to the whole society and refer to complex softwareintensive systems, resulted from interoperability of independent constituent systems that work together to achieve more complex missions. SoS have emerged specially in critical application domains and, therefore, high level of quality must be assured during their development and evolution. However, dealing with quality of SoS still presents great challenges, as SoS present a set of unique characteristics that can directly affect the quality of such systems. Moreover, there are not comprehensive models that can support the quality evaluation of SoS. Motivated by this scenario, the main contribution of this Masters project is to present a SoS Evaluation Model, more specifically, addressing the crisis/emergency management domain, built in the context of a large international research project. The proposed model covers important evaluation activities and considers all SoS characteristics and challenges not usually addressed by other models. This model was applied to evaluate a crisis/emergency management SoS and our results have shown it viability to the effective management of the SoS quality.<br>Sistemas-de-Sistemas (SoS, do inglês Systems-of-Systems) realizam um importante e até essencial papel na sociedade. Referem-se a complexos sistemas intensivos em software, resultado da interoperabilidade de sistemas constituintes independentes que trabalham juntos para realizar missões mais complexas. SoS têm emergido especialmente em domínios de aplicação crítica, portanto, um alto nível de qualidade deve ser garantido durante seu desenvolvimento e evolução. Entretanto, lidar com qualidade em SoS ainda apresenta grandes desafios, uma vez que possuem um conjunto de características únicas que podem diretamente afetar a qualidade desses sistemas. Além disso, não existem modelos abrangentes para o suporte à avaliação de qualidade de SoS. Motivado por este cenário, a principal contribuição deste projeto de mestrado é apresentar um modelo de avaliação para SoS, especialmente destinado ao domínio de gerenciamento de crises e emergências. Este modelo foi construído no contexto de um grande projeto de pesquisa internacional, e cobre as mais importantes atividades de avaliação, considerando as principais características e desafios de SoS geralmente não abordados por outros modelos. Este modelo foi aplicado na avaliação de um SoS de gerenciamento de crises e emergência, e nossos resultados têm mostrado sua viabilidade para o efetivo gerenciamento da qualidade de SoS.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic had a worldwide economic effect, and it seems to have produced a challenging economic climate for startups to work in. Thus, the aim of this degree project is to investigate how startups survived the financial and organizational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and what was the role of their employees during the crisis. The objective is to look at how early-stage startups in Greece are dealing with the COVID-19 crisis, whether they can utilize crisis management models, and how the crisis encourages creative destruction. Schumpeterian innovation theory has been merged with crisis management theories to achieve this goal. The thesis employs a qualitative methodology and uses a multiple case study design where cases are the individual startups interviewed. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with a top-management representative of each company. The results indicate that the startups under discussion are experiencing significant changes. At the beginning of the crisis, they faced a threatening disengagement and demotivation of their employees, which they managed to overcome by focusing on their wellbeing, coaching them, and guiding them through the crisis. The Caplanian model was utilized to analyze their approach. Based on the companies’ core competencies, they are actively pivoting to emerging business models and new markets. These companies are discovering new possibilities and innovating in a number of areas, following both the Schumpeterian evolutionary theories of creative destruction and creative accumulation. Overall, the findings suggest that in responding to the crisis, startups modified and strengthened their strategies. The shift in customer purchasing behavior was a major reason why businesses needed to develop their strategies. The modified consumer behavior was the outcome of actions taken by the Greek government and the Public Health Agency to avoid the spread of the virus such as social distancing, travel bans, and closed borders.

Las organizaciones políticas en el Perú se encuentran en un momento crítico. El 93% de los electores, según la Corporación Latinobarómetro (2018), ha perdido confianza en ellas. Su imagen y reputación están generalmente asociadas con la corrupción. Y no es para menos. Los cuatro partidos políticos más influyentes de los últimos quince años han sido catalogados como organizaciones criminales por el Ministerio Público y enfrentan denuncias por el delito de lavado de activos.
Sin embargo, la percepción negativa que tienen los públicos sobre los partidos políticos es en realidad resultado de las crisis, entendidas como situaciones adversas que afectan negativamente su imagen y reputación y, en consecuencia, dañan su relación con sus militantes y la confianza de sus electores, restándoles legitimidad, poder y participación en los asuntos públicos del país.
Actualmente, en una época donde las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación están cada vez mejor desarrolladas, las agrupaciones políticas son particularmente vulnerables a las crisis, pues existe muy poca información o teoría sobre cómo deben gestionarse en este tipo de organizaciones.
En ese sentido, el autor del presente trabajo de investigación asumió el desafío de diseñar un modelo de gestión comunicacional de crisis para organizaciones políticas. Para lograrlo fue necesario, en primer lugar, analizar cuatro casos: Partido Aprista Peruano, Partido Nacionalista Peruano, Peruanos Por el Kambio y Fuerza Popular. Comprender la naturaleza de estas agrupaciones y los tipos de crisis que enfrentaron, fue fundamental para elaborar la propuesta final.<br>Political organizations in Peru are at a critical moment. 93% of voters, according to Latinobarómetro Corporation (2018), have lost confidence in them. Their image and reputation are generally associated with corruption. It is not for less. The four most influential political parties of the last fifteen years have been classified as criminal organizations by the Public Ministry and face complaints for the crime of money laundering.
However, the negative perception that the public has about political parties is actually the result of crises, understood as adverse situations that negatively affect their image and reputation and, consequently, damage their relationship with their militants and the trust of their voters, subtracting legitimacy, power and participation in the public affairs of the country.
Currently, at a time when information and communication technologies are increasingly well developed, political groups are particularly vulnerable to crises, as there is very little information or theory on how they should be managed in these types of organizations.
Therefore, the author of this research took on the challenge of designing a crisis communication management model for Peruvian political organizations. To achieve this, it was necessary, first of all, to analyze four cases: Partido Aprista Peruano, Partido Nacionalista Peruano, Peruanos Por el Kambio and Fuerza Popular. Understanding the nature of these groupings, and the types of crises they faced, was critical in crafting the final proposal.<br>Trabajo de investigación

nÃo hÃ<br>This study aimed to examine the implementation process of the business model of

entrepreneurship mechanisms. Consonant with our line of research work and
education, we chose a critical guiding framework of analysis of the object of study,
the dialectical historical materialism. The dissertational study aimed at authors such
as Marx (1998), MÃszÃros (2011), Harvey (1999), Antunes (2009), among others, the
theoretical framework to understand the contextual factors related to socioeconomic
sphere; Paro (2012), Behring (2001) and Oliveira (2002), the foundation necessary to
elucidate theoretical conceptions of the school management in the capital of the
times of crisis. The methodology to undertake such a study consisted of qualitative
research, bibliographical and research has also made an empirical character through
case study with the use of techniques such as observation and interview with the
management team a school institution located in Fortaleza. From the data analysis

Full textAbstract:
Problem Crisis management has never been as important as it is today. Considering that criticism is being spread in a fast pace through social media, the reputation of an organisation can quickly be damaged. Several organisations however lack internal knowledge about crisis management. The majority of the previous research about crisis management has been conducted from the organisations’ perspective. There is however relatively little research done from an external actor’s role in supporting an organisation in crisis. Purpose This study aims to contribute in the crisis management and communication field by investigating how an external actor can support an organisation in crisis. Method The study was conducted through a qualitative single case study of crisis management support provided to firms by one external actor, a PR-agency. Primary data for the case was collected from six semi-structured interviews. Conclusion External actors are a suitable helping hand in crises because they possess experience and knowledge in media and crisis communication and can view the situation objectively. Crisis consultants support their clients by providing a response strategy that is built on being honest and open. Proactive and post work are not prioritised by clients but are highly important for crisis preparedness and building a strong reputation. Social media is a standard part of today’s crisis communication but is also a demanding channel that creates incentives for hiring external support.

Tourism and Sport<br>Ph.D.<br>Using a theoretical synergy between the Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) and Behavioral Ecological Model (BEM), the current dissertation research provides empirical evidence to support that organized participant sporting events can play a significant role in building a healthier community. First, using a proprietary U.S. community-based panel data from 2008 to 2014, study 1 examines the incremental effects of participant sporting events (PSE) in promoting active living at the population level. Panel regression with an instrumental variable approach and Multigroup Latent Growth Curve Analysis were administered. The key findings included (1) these population-based interventions have the capacity to impact population health at the state level; (2) such an influence significantly varies across the United States contingent upon a state’s economic development and the geographical region to which a state belongs. In study 2, the Multilevel Mediation Analysis was conducted with a spatially clustered cross-sectional data in 2014. The findings revealed that the access to exercise opportunities at the state level represents the underlying mechanism through which various forms of participant sporting events have the ability to elicit positive effects on health with respects to mental health, physical health, and physical activity participation at the county level. The findings suggested that PSEs represent effective public health platform to create healthier communities through integrating physically active leisure into population’s everyday routines. Overall, empirical results also help us better understand the importance of effectively leveraging community sporting events to deliver required health benefits to the general public and create practical guidelines to inform policy formation on resource allocation.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
Real estate sales significantly declined during and after the 2008 mortgage crisis. In the United States, real estate sales dropped 35% after the mortgage crisis. Guided by the attention, interest, desire, and action (AIDA) model, the purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the strategies successful residential real estate organization managers use to mitigate sales decline in a postrecession environment. Three residential real estate organization managers in Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia participated in semistructured interviews. These participants are currently selling homes, worked in the real estate market before the 2008 mortgage crisis, and developed successful strategies to mitigate declining sales in a postrecession environment. The data collection process for this study included the semistructured interviews, review of archival documents, and member checking to explore successful strategies for mitigating declining sales for residential real estate organization managers. The data analysis included data coding, organizing, and making conclusions with the use of Yin's 5 phase process. During analysis, the 4 themes to emerge were customer service, consistent work ethic, innovation, and market specialization. By implementing the identified successful sales strategies, these residential real estate organization managers were able to mitigate a decline in sales in a postrecession environment. Real estate professionals may use these findings to decrease the delays in the home buying process and increase employees' sales performance. More home sales can improve local economies and the welfare of communities.

Des recherches actuelles ont montré que l'efficacité des dirigeants concerne l'humanité. En raison des connaissances différentes de la nature humaine occidentale et orientale ; il y a une différence significative de tous les genres de dirigeants. Par rapport au sens l'humanité de Ptolémée de l'Ouest avec l'individu comme le centre, la nature humaine est de Galileo dans le contexte de la culture orientale qui souligne la relation étroitement liée entre l'homme et la société. Comme le soleil est au centre de la galaxie, le chef dans les relations sociales est dans le noyau. Sur cette base, nous avons proposé Sunshine Leadership dans le contexte de la culture chinoise. Nous avons fait une enquête en deux étapes de 635 membres de l'équipe de marketing direct de la Chine. Dans la première étape, on a parlé face à face par des entretiens, de responsabilité, d’expérence sur les dirigeants et de la distance de pouvoir. Les analyses de facteur d'exploration et de facteurs de confirmation montrent que Sunshine Leadership est un concept claire de Leadership, comprenant: un sentiment de bonheur, montrer l'exemple, des relations et apporter un changement radical à l'état de choses existant. Ensuite dans la deuxième phase, on explore comment Sunshine Leadership influencer sur la satisfaction et l'engagement de l'Organisation par les influences sur la relation d'échange des membres. Les résultats montrent que c'est une bonne variable pour la prévision de comportement du personnel. Cette étude s'étend de la recherche de la théorie de la direction et fournit une perspective interculturelle et le cadre pour comprendre comment les scénarios de l'Organisation impacter l'efficacité de la direction par l’interaction avec des caractéristiques individuelles<br>Previous studies have shown that Leadership effectiveness is bound up with personality. Because of the significant differences between the East and the West in human nature, there are also great differences in the styles of leadership. Compare to a Ptolemian view of human nature, which is deeply rooted in Western cultural, The Chinese concept of personality more closely resembles a Galiean view of human nature, which recognizes that the individual is embedded in a social network. Just as the sun is the center of the galaxy, leadership is at the heart of the social network. In this way, we have proposed and constructed a sunshine leadership model from the point of view of Chinese Taoism and Confucian culture. A two-phase survey data were collected from 625 Chinese direct-selling employees. In the first survey, the focal employee was asked to provide information about sunshine leadership, Including felt obligations, expectations to leader, and power distance orientation. Consistent with predictions, a simulation study is conducted using the SPSS 15.0 EFA and CFA programs. The EFA results obtained four factors. The CFA results also fit the hypothesized four factor structure model for all methods. Both results showed that the sunshine leadership was an distinctive construct which consists of four dimensions: Guanxi, Happiness, Character and Hold-Crisis. In the second survey, we further examined the influence of sunshine leadership on employee job satisfaction and organizational Commitment mediated by Leader-member exchange(LMX). The results show that the sunshine leadership is a good predictor of employee's work behavior，which had positive effects on both job satisfaction and commitment. Our Research extends theory of leadership by providing a cross-cultural perspective and framework to understanding how organizational context may interact with individual dispositions to affect the effectiveness of leadership in China. Implications for practice and future research are discussed

Full textAbstract:
This study concerns communication in a crisis management exercise with a resilience perspective. The staff’s communication during a crisis management exercise, a simulating a ferry fire, facilitated by DARWIN, a European research project in resilience, is analysed with thematic analysis and understood through the Systemic Resilience (SyRes) model (Lundberg & Johansson, 2015)which combines different aspects of resilience. The main themes found are The Staff’s Decision Making, Operational Care of Affected Persons,and Communication. The staff’s decision makingconsist of the following subthemes: SituationAnalysis, Value of Measuresand Delegation.Operational care of Affected Personsinvolves the themes Transport,and Healthcare. Communicationconsists of the subthemes Stakeholders, and External Communication. The themes are connected in the way that in order to make informed decisions about the operational care ofaffected persons, the staff need to communicate with external stakeholders. The themes could be understood through the functions in the SyRes model as they share elements with, could be seen as parts of, or in another way could fit into the adaptive functions of the SyRes model. This study found themes in the communication of a staff in crisis management. These themes seem to be central for this staff, are reflected in the SyRes model and would reflect what is important for a staff to behave resilient. That is why it would be suggested to examine if the staff’s in crisis management are supported in their work involving these themes.

Les différents chapitres de cette thèse tentent d'apporter des réponses à trois questions importantes : Quels sont les indicateurs macro-financiers qui pourraient aider à mieux anticiper les épisodes de stress budgétaire dans les pays de la zone euro ? Quelles seraient les conséquences de la mise en place d'un système de garantie des dépôts bancaires sur les variables macroéconomiques et sur le comportement des investisseurs, investisseurs qui tiendraient compte du risque de défaut souverain ? Dans quelle mesure une meilleure qualité des institutions, de la gouvernance pourrait-elle aider à améliorer la croissance de long terme d'une économie contrainte sur le marché international des capitaux ? En retenant une approche de court terme, les deux premiers chapitres montrent l'importance de la confiance des marchés dans l'analyse du lien entre déséquilibres macroéconomiques et crises. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous adoptons une perspective de plus long terme pour analyser les effets de cette confiance des marchés sur la dynamique de la croissance. Notre approche est à la fois théorique et empirique. L'approche théorique se base sur les modèles DSGE (modèles d'équilibre général stochastiques dynamiques et la modélisation d'une crise dans une petite économie ouverte. L'approche empirique se focalise sur les modèles Probit/Logit sur données de panel et sur un modèle d'alerte fondé sur des signaux avancés (early warning indicators)<br>This dissertation consists of three essays on how macro-financial imbalances precede crises and to what extent their consideration can help better management of crises in the Eurozone countries. The different chapters of this thesis, try to answer three important questions : What are the macro-financial imbalances that exposed the Euro area countries to fiscal stress before the outbreak of the debt crises in Europe? What are the impacts of sovereign default and deposit guarantee on macroeconomic variables and on the behavior of investors ? To what extent could better institutions/governance help to improve the long-term growth in a constrained economy on the international capital market ? Using a short-term approach, the first two chapters show the importance of market confidence in analysis of the link between macroeconomic imbalances and crises. In the third chapter, we adopt a long-term perspective to analyze the effects of this market confidence on the dynamics of growth. Our approach is both theoretical and empirical. The theoretical approach is based on the DSGE models (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models) and the modeling of a crisis in a small open economy (SOE). The empirical approach focuses on Probit/Logit models for panel data and on Signal model based on early warning indicators

Full textAbstract:
Tourism destinations are particularly vulnerable to crises and disasters and while a number of tourism specific crisis management models exist to assist managers and to provide a reference point for academics, they unfortunately display a number of limitations which reduce their effectiveness. For example, drawing on organisational crisis management theory as a framework, they fail to account for differences in size and scope between a typical business organisation and a tourism destination. At the same time, the prescriptive, linear, one-size-fits-all structure of the models does not consider the unpredictable, unique nature of crises and disasters, the manner in which they evolve and the distinct characteristics of individual tourism destinations. Furthermore, they presume coordination will automatically occur when, in reality, competition and rivalry often act as a barrier to the implementation of measures to achieve such aims. Beyond these specific limitations, perhaps the most pertinent challenge to contemporary models is that they fail to recognise the chaotic nature of the system and its environment. Various commentators have suggested a chaos and complexity theory approach to tourism crisis management. In this way, the tourism system is viewed as a complex adaptive system, similar to an ecological community, which, despite its chaotic exterior, demonstrates an underlying current of orderliness and a particular aptitude for self-organisation. The ability of a system, under the correct conditions, to self-organise and evolve to an improved state of being has implications for the management of crises and disasters. Nevertheless, despite prompts from academia to investigate further, research has been extremely sparse and the potential of chaos and complexity theory as a method to manage tourism crises has remained relatively unknown. This thesis, therefore, seeks to address the gap in the literature. Its overall purpose is to identify whether the proposed limitations of existing frameworks are demonstrated in practice and to consider whether a complexity-based perspective on tourism crisis and disaster management represents a more viable framework for managers of tourism destinations preparing for and responding to crises. To address this purpose, two case studies were conducted in the context of two tourism crises, namely the 2001 UK Foot and mouth crisis and the 2009 Mexican H1N1 Influenza crisis. Following an interpretivist theoretical approach to the research, a series of semi-structured interviews were performed with relevant participants associated with each crisis and the information gathered was analysed along with media and government documentary evidence pertaining to each crisis. The research serves to substantiate the claim that the proposed limitations diminish the effectiveness of contemporary tourism crisis and disaster models, as the limitations are clearly evident in both case studies. Moreover, the case studies also offer the opportunity to observe manifestations of the elements of chaos and complexity, which enables the conclusion to be drawn that had the Foot and Mouth crisis and the H1N1 Influenza crisis been managed using complexity theory based management strategies, facilitated by the implementation of a ‘learning destination’ type structure, then the crisis response would have been improved.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is entitled The Role of Management in the Turnaround Process and is presented for the degree of Doctor of Business Administration at the University of Manchester by Ian Roberts in April 2015. Inquiry into turnaround has largely has been carried forward in two broad areas of study: strategy and management. Strategy research has attempted to identify a single or limited number of strategies which apply in all turnaround situations, while management studies have concentrated on managers themselves or some of the techniques they employ. Neither school has systematically analysed how turnarounds are actually implemented in dysfunctional organisations and both schools are weak in extant theory. As a consequence, a holistic explanation of the process leading from crisis to viability is lacking. This thesis addresses these lacunae in three ways. Firstly, it provides a systematic study of how professional turnaround managers implement the turnaround process over time. Secondly, it applies a unique and complementary mix of extant theory which addresses both cognitive and organisational aspects of strategy formulation and implementation. Thirdly, it presents a holistic turnaround model based on six core constructs which are argued to be necessary and sufficient to explain the dynamics of the turnaround process. The thesis adopts a mixed-methods approach. A survey is used in order to gather data from turnaround professionals on implementation methods. This data is then subjected to statistical analysis in order to identify the most important factors for implementation. These concepts are then blended into a conceptual framework which is tested for its explanatory and predictive power on a matched pair of turnaround case studies of two mid-sized UK manufacturing companies in the household goods sector, one of which executed a successful turnaround and one of which failed in the attempt. The model is able to explain and predict the outcome in both cases. The thesis is one of only a handful of turnaround studies which employs a rigorous case study research protocol. Its principal contribution is that of a middle range turnaround theory of the causal factors leading from organisational crisis to dissolution or viability.

Una mirada al llistat cronològic dels desastres ocorreguts des de la fi de la Segona Guerra Mundial fins als nostres dies mostra una preocupant tendència al fet que accidents molt similars es repeteixin dues o més vegades. Exemples d'aquesta estranya tendència a la «clonació» d'accidents són els del transbordador Challenger de la NASA el 1986 i del transbordador Columbia el 2003 o els terribles abocaments de l'Exxon Valdez el 1989, del vaixell de càrrega Erika el 1999 o del vaixell Prestige davant les costes gallegues el 2002. De la mateixa manera, algunes crisis financeres que van afectar terriblement als petits estalviadors tenen punts en comú, com és el cas de la telefonia Worldcom el 2001, de l'energètica Enron al mateix any o de l'empresa Parmalat el 2003 o la de Lehman Brothers el 2008, per citar només alguna d'aquestes clonacions.
Com és possible que una crisi no generi aprenentatge suficient per evitar que es repeteixi? Podent assumir que les fallades tecnològiques són cada vegada més infreqüents, per què no som capaços de reduir els errors humans? I per què en un món que cada vegada disposa de més dades i de sistemes d'anàlisi més complexos i eficients i que posa a disposició dels gestors programari molt potent i eficient per a la presa de decisions, no som capaços de prevenir millor les crisis i els accidents?
Partint del model sistèmic d'incubació d'esdeveniments crítics en les organitzacions, formulat per Roux-Dufort, conjuntament amb els seus col·laboradors Forgues, Lalonde i Ramboatiana entre els anys 1998 i 2015, aquesta investigació tracta de respondre a les anteriors preguntes mitjançant l'anàlisi del contingut temàtic de les aportacions de directius representatius de diferents tipus d'organitzacions.
Els resultats indiquen que encara hi ha certa tendència a pensar en les crisis com esdeveniments excepcionals i imprevisibles. No obstant això, es va obrint pas la idea que a un esdeveniment fatídic s'arriba després d'un llarg procés de deteriorament per errors no resolts que s'acumulen i van debilitant l'organització. S'ha comprovat que els directius mostren força receptivitat davant aquest concepte. Es conclou que per poder contribuir a la prevenció de les crisis en les organitzacions cal aprofundir en dues línies estratègiques. D'una banda, cal consolidar els canvis revolucionaris que s'han anat produint en les organitzacions en els últims anys a fi de fer-les més adaptables a un món canviant i ple d'incertesa. Per l’altra, s’assenyala que és important dedicar més esforços a recuperar a les persones, els equips i les organitzacions després d'haver patit una crisi. Sovint són els records i les preguntes no resoltes referents a un episodi passat els que obstaculitzen col·locar la prevenció de crisi en un lloc estratègic en el qual formi part de la pròpia cultura organitzacional i no només del Departament de Riscos Laborals.<br>Una mirada al listado cronológico de los desastres ocurridos desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta nuestros días muestra una preocupante tendencia a que accidentes muy similares se repitan dos o más veces. Ejemplos de esta extraña tendencia a la «clonación» de accidentes son los del transbordador Challenger de la NASA en 1986 y del transbordador Columbia en 2003 o los terribles vertidos del Exxon Valdez en 1989, del carguero Erika en 1999 o del barco Prestige ante las costas gallegas en 2002. De la misma manera, algunas crisis financieras que afectaron terriblemente a los pequeños ahorradores tienen puntos en común, como es el caso de la telefonía Worldcom en 2001, de la energética Enron en el mismo año o de la empresa Parmalat en 2003 o la de Lehman Brothers en 2008, por solo citar alguna de estas clonaciones.
¿Cómo es posible que una crisis no genere aprendizaje suficiente para evitar que se repita? Pudiendo asumir que los fallos tecnológicos son cada vez más infrecuentes, ¿por qué no somos capaces de reducir los errores humanos? Y ¿por qué en un mundo que cada ve dispone de más datos y de sistemas de análisis más complejos y eficientes, y que pone a disposición de los gestores software muy potente y eficiente para la toma de decisiones, no somos capaces de prevenir mejor las crisis y los accidentes?
Partiendo del modelo sistémico de incubación de eventos críticos en las organizaciones, formulado por Roux-Dufort, junto a sus colaboradores Forgues, Lalonde y Ramboatiana entre los años 1998 y 2015, esta investigación trata de responder a las anteriores preguntas mediante el análisis del contenido temático de las aportaciones de directivos representativos de diferentes tipos de organizaciones.
Los resultados indican que todavía hay cierta tendencia a pensar en las crisis como eventos excepcionales e imprevisibles. Sin embargo, se va abriendo paso la idea de que a un evento fatídico se llega tras un largo proceso de deterioro por errores no resueltos que se acumulan y van debilitando la organización. Se ha comprobado que los directivos muestran bastante receptividad ante este concepto. Se concluye que para poder contribuir a la prevención de las crisis en las organizaciones hay que ahondar en dos líneas estratégicas. Por una parte, es necesario consolidar los cambios revolucionarios que se han ido produciendo en las organizaciones en los últimos años con objeto de hacerlas más adaptables a un mundo cambiante y lleno de incertidumbre. Y por otra sería importante dedicar mayores esfuerzos a recuperar las personas, los equipos y las organizaciones tras haber sufrido una crisis. A menudo son los recuerdos y las preguntas no resueltas referentes a un episodio pasado los que obstaculizan colocar la prevención de crisis en un lugar estratégico en el que forma parte de la cultura organizacional y no sólo del Departamento de Riesgos Laborales.<br>Taking a look at the chronological list of disasters that occurred from the end of World War II to the present day, it shows a worrying tendency for very similar accidents to be repeated two or more times. Examples of this strange tendency to «cloning» accidents are those of the NASA Challenger shuttle in 1986 and the Columbia shuttle in 2003 or the terrible spills of the Exxon Valdez in 1989, the cargo ship Erika in 1999 or the Prestige in Spain in 2002. In the same way, some financial crises that affected common citizen have a lot of points in common like in the cases of the Worldcom telephony scandal in 2001, the energy company Enron in the same year, the failure of Parmalat company in 2003 or that of Lehman Brothers in 2008, just to name a few of these clones.
How can it be that crisis do not generate enough learning to avoid their repetition? Assuming that technological failures are increasingly rare, why are we not able to reduce human errors? And why in a world that is increasingly able to use more complex and efficient analysis systems, which makes powerful software assisted decision-making available for managers do we still not succeed in better crisis prevention?
Starting from the systemic model of incubation of critical events in organizations, formulated by Roux-Dufort, together with his collaborators Forgues, Lalonde and Ramboatiana between the years 1998 and 2015, this research tries to answer the previous questions by analysing the contributions of representative executives of different types of organizations.
The results indicate that there is still a certain tendency to think about crises as exceptional and unpredictable events. The idea, however, is making its way that a fatal event is reached after a long process of deterioration due to unresolved accumulate errors that weaken the organization. Managers have been found to be quite receptive to this concept. It is concluded that in order to contribute to the prevention of crises in organizations, it is necessary to delve into two strategic lines. In one hand, it is important to consolidate the revolutionary changes that have taken place in organizations in recent years in order to make them more adaptable to a changing world full of uncertainty. In the other hand, it would be important to dedicate greater efforts to recovering people, teams and organizations after having suffered a crisis. Very often, memories and unresolved questions about a past episode are the reasons why crisis prevention are not placed at an strategic level, where it would be part of the organizational culture and not just within the Occupational Hazards Department.

China continues to invest in natural resources in Africa to fuel its economic growth.China’s expanded presence in Africa has contributed to growing tensions within the Sino-African relationship. This thesis examines a variety of historical factors that have contributed to the increased presence of China in Africa, and how these factors have evolved into the foundations of the tensions observed today.
By exploring the historical patterns of the Sino-Zambian relationship, this thesis will shed light on the foundations of the underlying tensions between the two countries. With the Zambian election of 2006 as a focal point, China faced a political crisis that threatened their broader economic future. Using a double-pronged economic and political approach to mitigate the crisis, China avoided losing its economic interests in the 2006 Zambian election. But in the long run, China has continued facing the same anti-Chinese sentiments in Zambia which questions the viability of their political risk management strategy.
This thesis argues that for China to mitigate a political crisis in another African country most effectively, they must modify their strategic decision making model for managing political risk. This thesis proposes an alternate framework which would most effectively address underlying tensions between China and Africa.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The interest rates market has changed dramatically since the 2007 credit
crunch with the explosion of basis spreads between rates of different tenors
and currencies. Consequently, the classical replication of FRA rates with spot
LIBOR rates is no longer valid. Moreover, the 2007 credit crunch yields a separation
between the curve used for discounting and the forward or projection
curves that estimate all future cash-fl ows. Another impact of the credit crunch
in risk management is that market participants have started to give more importance
to the difference between collateralized and uncollateralized trades.
Nowadays, the wide spread use of collateral, especially in swap contracts, has
made the overnight index swap (OIS) rate the appropriate benchmark for
discounting collateralized trades. Inspired by the seminal works of Mercurio
(2010a,b), Kijima et al. (2008), Fujii et al. (2011), Bianchetti (2010b), with
the contributions of other authors, and motivated by the evolution of the interest
rates market and models, this thesis examines a new framework that uses
multiple-curves to value interest rate derivatives which is compatible with the
current market practice.
Firstly, we discuss the roots of the 2007 credit crunch and its serious consequences
for pricing interest rate derivatives. We underscore the necessity of a
multiple-curve pricing framework for interest rate derivatives. This is followed
by a discussion on the importance of collateralization and OIS discounting in
pricing Over-The-Counter (OTC) derivatives. The central part of the thesis
discusses the modern theoretical framework and the practical implementation of the multiple curve pricing method. We present a bootstrapping algorithm
used to construct and fit the multiple-yield curves to market prices of plainvanilla
contracts.
Secondly, starting with the single-currency economy, the extended version
of the LIBOR Market Model, developed by Mercurio (2010a,b), which proposes
a joint model of FRA rates, implied forward rates and their corresponding
spread is investigated. Analogously, the extended version of short-rate model
in a multiple-curve setup and in the presence of basis spread, proposed by
Kijima et al. (2008), is presented and discussed. This work provides a detailed
analysis of these extensions and the corresponding closed formulae for liquid
products such as caps and swaptions. Finally, in the multiple-currencies case,
the HJM model with stochastic basis spreads, introduced by Fujii et al. (2011),
consistent with the foreign exchange and cross-currency swaps markets that
includes the effect of collateralization is examined thoroughly.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die rentekoers mark het dramaties verander sedert die 2007 krediet krisis met
'n ontplo ng van basisverspreidings tussen koerse van verskillende looptye
("tenor") en geldeenhede. As gevolg, is die klassieke replikasie van FRA koerse
met LIBOR sigkoerse nie langer geldig nie. Verder het die 2007 kredietkrisis
'n skeiding veroorsaak tussen die kromme wat gebruik word vir diskontering
en die voorwaardse of vooruitskattings krommes wat toekomstige kontantvloei
voorspel. 'n Verdere impak van die kredietkrisis in risikobestuur is dat mark
deelnemers begin het om meer klem te lê op verskille tussen aangevulde en
onaangevulde handel. Deesdae, met die algemene gebruik van kollaterale sekuriteit, veral in ruiltransaksiekontrakte,
is die oornagse indeks ruiltransaksie (overnight index swap, OIS) koers die geskikte maatstaf om aangevulde handel te diskonteer. Geïnspireer
deur die gedagteryke werk van Mercurio (2010a,b), Kijima et al. (2008),
Fujii et al. (2011), Bianchetti (2010b), met bydrae van menige outeurs, en
gemotiveer deur die evolusie van die rentekoers markte en modelle, ondersoek
hierdie tesis 'n nuwe raamwerk wat multikrommes gebruik om rentekoers
afgeleide effekte te waardeer wat versoenbaar is met die lopende mark praktyk.
Eerstens, bespreek ons die oorsake van die 2007 kredietkrisis en die ernstige
nagevolge vir die waardering van rentekoers afgeleide effekte. Ons beklemtoon
die noodsaaklikheid van 'n multikromme waarderings raamwerk vir rentekoers
afgeleide effekte. Dit word gevolg deur 'n bespreking oor die belangrikheid
van aanvulling en OIS diskontering in die waardering van oor-die-toonbank (over-the-counter, OTC) effekte. Die teoretiese raamwerk en die praktiese
implimentering van die multikromme waarderings metode word bespreek. Ons
stel ook ten toon 'n skoenlus ("bootstrapping") algoritme wat gebruik kan word
om meervoudige opbrengs krommes saam te stel en die dan te pas op mark
pryse van vanielje kontrakte.
Tweedens, met 'n enkel geldeenheid ekonomie as beginpunt, word die uitgebreide
weergawe van die LIBOR Mark Model (ontwikkel deur Mercurio
(2010a,b), wat 'n gesamentlike model van FRA koerse voorstel), geïmpliseerde
termyn koerse en hul ooreenstemmende verspreiding bestudeer. Ooreenkomstig
word die uitgebreide weergawe van die kort koers model in 'n multikromme
opset en in die aanwesigheid van basisspreiding (voorgestel deur Kijima
et al. (2008)) uiteengesit en bespreek. Hierdie werk verskaf 'n uitvoerige
analise van hierdie uitbreidings en die ooreenstemmende geslote formules
vir vloeibare produkte soos perke en ruiltransaksie opsies. Ten slotte, in die
multi-geldeenheid geval, word die HJM model met stogastiese basisverspreiding
(voorgestel deur Fujii et al. (2011)), nie-strydig met buitelandse valuta en
kruisvaluta ruiltransaksie markte wat die effekte van aanvulling insluit word
deuglik bestudeer.

Face aux risques qui menacent le territoire français, l’échelon local est le premier niveau de réponse à la crise. Or, il est aussi le maillon faible de l’organisation de sécurité civile. Au niveau communal, l’organisation de la réponse à la crise est inégale et souffre d’un manque d’opérationnalité. Face au manque de moyens et d’expertise des communes dans ce domaine, les intercommunalités sont amenées à jouer un rôle de support, encore peu étudié aujourd’hui. Notre thèse explore alors la trajectoire de progression d’un collectif intercommunal dans la préparation de la réponse à la crise.

Grâce au travail d’accompagnement fourni par le risk-manager intercommunal (ou gestionnaire de risques), le Plan Communal de Sauvegarde (PCS) devient l’élément central d’une stratégie collective de montée en fiabilité, qui repose à la fois sur une dimension organisationnelle, cognitive et politique.

But it is also the weak link in the civil security organization. The organization of crisis response among municipalities is uneven and lacks operational capability. Given the lack of municipal resources and expertise in this area, intermunicipal organizations have come to play a supporting role, yet little studied today. Our thesis then explores the collective progression of the whole inter-municipality in the preparation of the response to the crisis (the inter-municipal structure and all the municipalities). How to overcome a well-established planning logic in organizational processes? How to harmonize the level of preparedness within a very diverse group of municipalities? Our thesis suggests an answer through the joint logic of anticipation and resilience, thanks to the contribution High Reliability Organizations theories (HRO). Thanks to the managerial work of the inter-municipal risk-manager, the municipal emergency preparedness plan becomes the central element of a collective strategy to increase reliability. This strategy is based both on an organizational dimension, on a cognitive dimension and on a political dimension. In return, our thesis offers HRO theories an opportunity to think reliability as a manageable progression, an opportunity to think reliability in an inter-organizational context, and proposes to enrich the analysis by including a political dimension

There has been an increase in research on the internationalization of so-called born-globalfirms. However, this research primarily focused on the internationalization process duringcalmer times. So far, little attention has been paid to internationalization during times of crisis.Especially for the recently happened COVID-19 crisis, research on the implications for bornglobal internationalization has been neglected. Nonetheless, born-global firms face manyliabilities in their internationalization processes, even getting more severe in times of crisis.This study aims to fill the existing knowledge gap by examining the internationalization ofSwedish born-global firms and their challenges due to COVID-19. Finally, we seek to makerecommendations for firms and entrepreneurs on how to cope with those hurdles.This research was conducted using qualitative semi-structured interviews with the founders orco-founders of six Swedish companies that fit the specifics of a born-global firm.The empirical findings show that all firms internationalize quickly abroad by using variousstrategies. While some follow relatively gradual approaches, others internationalize withintheir home regions or globally from the beginning. Also, the firms faced challenges due toilliquid customers, funding issues, or impeded networking. On the other hand, many companiescould discover new opportunities due to the crisis that supported their survival in abroadmarkets. Herewith the digital infrastructure and being online was distinctive. Eventually, it waspossible to conclude supportive behavioral patterns for entrepreneurs and firms when facingcrises.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: To date, there has been significant research completed on the topic of corporate financial distress. Two pioneering researchers in the field of predicting financial distress was Beaver in 1966 and Altman in 1968. More recent research, based on companies listed on the JSE has been that of Steyn-Bruwer and Hamman (2006).
This project, based on the latter authors’ work, has been formulated with one main research objective and two subordinate research objectives. The main research objective is to prove that different modelling techniques provide better prediction accuracies than others. The two subordinate research objectives are firstly to prove that there is a difference in the overall predictive accuracy if the data (provided by Steyn-Bruwer and Hamman) is subdivided according to “year before failure” and not according to economic period and secondly to prove that more optimised, independent variables would provide a better overall predictive accuracy. This research report summarises several significant papers on the topic; and draws the conclusion that research on financial distress is fragmented with very little consensus on any of the major definitions, assumptions and findings. In order to contextualise these differences; this research report defines and discusses corporate financial distress and considers the major issues associated with the field of research. An interesting observation from the literature survey was the fact that existing literature does not readily take consideration of the number of Type I and Type II errors made. As such, this research report introduces a novel concept (not seen in other research) called the “Normalised Cost of Failure” (NCF) which takes cognisance of the fact that a Type I error typically costs 20 to 38 times that of a Type II error.
In order to satisfy the main research objective several different modelling techniques were selected based on their popularity in the literature surveyed. They are: Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA), Recursive Partitioning (RP), Logit Analysis (LA) and Neural Networks (NN). A summary of each of the different techniques is provided in Chapter 4 of this research report.
The research by Steyn-Bruwer and Hamman forms the departure point for this research and their work is summarised in Chapter 5 of this report.
Chapters 6, 7 and 8 use the data from Steyn-Bruwer and Hamman along with the above mentioned modelling techniques to verify the main and subordinate objectives. In terms of the main research objective, the results of these chapters show that the different analysis techniques definitely produce different predictive accuracies. Here, the MDA and RP techniques correctly predict the most “failed” companies; and consequently have the lowest NCF. This research report also shows that LA and NN provide the best overall predictive accuracy.
In terms of the first subordinate research objective; this research shows that using the year before failure rather than the economic period as a subdivision provides superior predictive accuracy.
With regard to the second subordinate research objective: there is no difference in the predictive accuracies if the independent variables are further optimised. These results were disappointing and consequently disprove the second subordinate objective that widening the number of input variables actually improves the predictive accuracy. In fact, the results indicate that the information contained in the independent variables seems to saturate after the most important (key predictor) independent variables have been included in the model.
It is important to take cognisance of the fact that each predictive technique has its own strength and weakness. It is proposed by the author that the strengths and weaknesses of these predictive techniques be combined to provide a better overall predictive methodology.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Heelwat betekenisvolle navorsing oor die onderwerp van maatskappye se finansiële verknorsing is tot op hede voltooi. Twee baanbreker-navorsers op die gebied van vooruitskatting van finansiële verknorsing was Beaver in 1966 en Altman in 1968. Meer onlangse navorsing, gebaseer op maatskappye wat op die JSE genoteer is, was dié van Steyn-Bruwer en Hamman (2006).
Hierdie navorsingsverslag, gebaseer op die voorgenoemde outeurs se werk, is geformuleer met een hoofnavorsingsdoelwit en twee ondergeskikte navorsingsdoelwitte. Die hoofnavorsingsdoelwit is om te bewys dat verskillende modelleringstegnieke beter voorspellingsakkuraatheid as andere het. Die twee ondergeskikte navorsingsdoelwitte is, eerstens, dat daar ʼn verskil is in die oorhoofse voorspellingsakkuraatheid as die data (verskaf deur Steyn-Bruwer en Hamman) onderverdeel word volgens die “jaar voor mislukking” eerder as volgens die ekonomiese tydperk; en tweedens, om te bewys dat meer geoptimiseerde, onafhanklike veranderlikes kan lei tot ʼn beter oorhoofse voorspellingsakkuraatheid. Ten einde hierdie verskille te konseptualiseer, het hierdie navorsingsverslag finansiële mislukkings van maatskappye bespreek en gedefinieer en aandag geskenk aan die belangrikste aspekte geassosieer met die navorsingsveld. ʼn Interessante waarneming uit die literatuurstudie was die feit dat die huidige literatuur selde indien enige, oorweging skenk aan die aantal Tipe I- en Tipe II-foute wat gemaak word. As sulks het hierdie navorsingsprojek ʼn nuwe begrip (nog nie in ander navorsing gesien nie) ontwikkel, wat beskryf word as die “Genormaliseerde Kostefaktor”; wat die feit dat ʼn Tipe I-fout tipies 20 tot 38 maal die koste van ʼn Tipe II-fout beloop, in ag neem.
Ten einde te voldoen aan die hoofnavorsingsdoelwit is verskillende modelleringstegnieke wat op grond van hul gewildheid in die literatuur voorgekom het, gekies. Hulle is: Meervoudige Diskriminantanalise (MDA), Herhalende Verdeling (RP), Logit-Analise (LA) en Neurale Netwerke (NN). ʼn Opsomming van elk van hierdie verskillende tegnieke word in Hoofstuk 4 van hierdie navorsingsverslag verskaf.
Die navorsing wat deur Steyn-Bruwer en Hamman gedoen is, vorm die vertrekpunt van hierdie navorsing en hulle werk is gevolglik in Hoofstuk 5 van hierdie verslag opgesom.
Hoofstukke 6, 7 en 8 gebruik die data van Steyn-Bruwer en Hamman tesame met die bovermelde modelleringstegnieke ten einde die hoof- en ondergeskikte doelwitte te bewys. In terme van die hoofnavorsingsdoelwit, het die resultate van hierdie hoofstukke getoon dat die verskillende analitiese tegnieke definitief verskillende voorspellingsakkuraatheid oplewer. Hier het die MDA- en RP-tegnieke die grootste aantal mislukte maatskappye korrek voorspel, en gevolglik die laagste Genormaliseerde Kostefaktor gehad. Die navorsingsverslag toon ook dat LA en NN die beste oorhoofse akkuraatheid van voorspelling het.
In terme van die eerste ondergeskikte navorsingsprobleem het hierdie navorsing getoon dat, om die jaar voor mislukking te gebruik as onderverdeling, eerder as die ekonomiese tydperk, beter voorspellingsakkuraatheid het.
Wat die tweede ondergeskikte navorsingsdoelwit betref, is daar bevind dat daar geen verskille in die voorspellingsakkuraatheid bestaan as die individuele veranderlikes verder geoptimaliseer word nie. Hierdie resultate was teleurstellend en het gevolglik die tweede ondergeskikte probleem, naamlik dat as die aantal inset-veranderlikes sou vergroot word, dit die vooruitskattingsakkuraatheid behoort te kan verhoog, verkeerd bewys. Tewens, die resultate het getoon dat die inligting soos vervat in die onafhanklike veranderlikes klaarblyklik versadiging bereik nadat die belangrikste (hoof-vooruitskatter) onafhanklike veranderlikes in die model opgeneem is.
Dit is belangrik om kennis te neem van die feit dat elke vooruitskattingstegniek sy eie sterk en swak punte het. Die skrywer stel dus voor dat hierdie sterk- en swakpunte gekombineerd gebruik word om ʼn beter oorhoofse vooruitskattingsmetodologie daar te stel.

Full textAbstract:
Les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit s’appliquent au domaine de la gestion de crise française, et notamment à la phase de réponse qui suit un évènement majeur, comme une crue ou un accident industriel. Suite à l’évènement, des cellules de crise sont activées pour prévenir et traiter les conséquences de la crise. Elles font face, dans l’urgence, à de nombreuses difficultés. Les parties-prenantes sont nombreuses, autonomes et hétérogènes, la coexistence de plans d’urgence engendre des contradictions et des effets en cascade se nourrissent des interconnexions entre réseaux. Ces constats arrivent alors que les données disponibles sur les réseaux informatiques ne cessent de se multiplier. Elles sont, par exemple, émises par des capteurs de mesures, sur des réseaux sociaux, ou par des bénévoles. Ces données sont l’occasion de concevoir un système d’information capable de les collecter pour les interpréter en un ensemble d’information formalisé, utilisable en cellule de crise. Pour réussir, les défis liés aux 4Vs du Big data doivent être relevés en limitant le Volume, unifiant (la Variété) et améliorant la Véracité des données et des informations manipulées, tout en suivant la dynamique (Vélocité) de la crise en cours. Nos états de l’art sur les différentes parties de l’architecture recherchée nous ont permis de définir un tel système d’information. Ce dernier est aujourd’hui capable de (i) recevoir plusieurs types d’évènements émis de sources de données connues ou inconnues, (ii) d’utiliser des règles d’interprétations directement déduites de règles métiers réelles et (iii) de formaliser l’ensemble des informations utiles aux parties-prenantes. Son architecture fait partie des architectures orientées évènements, et coexiste avec l’architecture orientée services du logiciel développé par le laboratoire Centre de Génie Industriel (CGI). Le système d’information ainsi implémenté a pu être éprouvé sur un scénario de crue majeure en Loire Moyenne, élaboré par deux Services de Prévision des Crues (SPC) français. Le modèle décrivant la situation de crise courante, obtenu par le système d’information proposé, peut être utilisé pour (i) déduire un processus de réponse à la crise, (ii) détecter des imprévus ou (iii) mettre à jour une représentation de la situation en cellule de crise<br>The present work is applied to the field of French crisis management, and specifically to the crisis response phase which follows a major event, like a flood or an industrial accident. In the aftermath of the event, crisis cells are activated to prevent and deal with the consequences of the crisis. They face, in a hurry, many difficulties. The stakeholders are numerous, autonomous and heterogeneous, the coexistence of contingency plans favours contradictions and the interconnections of networks promotes cascading effects. These observations arise as the volume of data available continues to grow. They come, for example, from sensors, social media or volunteers on the crisis theatre. It is an occasion to design an information system able to collect the available data to interpret them and obtain information suited to the crisis cells. To succeed, it will have to manage the 4Vs of Big Data: the Volume, the Variety and Veracity of data and information, while following the dynamic (velocity) of the current crisis. Our literature review on the different parts of this architecture enables us to define such an information system able to (i) receive different types of events emitted from data sources both known and unknown, (ii) to use interpretation rules directly deduced from official business rules and (iii) to structure the information that will be used by the stake-holders. Its architecture is event-driven and coexists with the service oriented architecture of the software developed by the CGI laboratory. The implemented system has been tested on the scenario of a 1/100 per year flood elaborated by two French forecasting centres. The model describing the current crisis situation, deduced by the proposed information system, can be used to (i) deduce a crisis response process, (ii) to detect unexpected situations, and (iii) to update a COP suited to the decision-makers

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the impact of applying different covariance modelling techniques on the efficiency of asset portfolio performance. The scope of this thesis is limited to the exploration of theoretical aspects of portfolio optimisation rather than developing a useful tool for portfolio managers. Future work may entail taking the results from this work further and producing a more practical tool from a fund management perspective. The contributions made by this thesis to the knowledge of the subject are that it extends literature by applying a number of different covariance models to a unique dataset that focuses on the 2007 global financial crisis. The thesis also contributes to the literature as the methodology applied also enables a distinction to be made in respect to developed and emerging/frontier regional markets. This has resulted in the following findings: First, it identifies the impact of the 2007–2009 financial crisis on time-varying correlations and volatilities as measured by the dynamic conditional correlation model (Engle 2002). This is examined from the perspective of a United States (US) investor given that the crisis had its origin in the US market. Prima facie evidence is found that economic structural adjustment has resulted in long-term increases in the correlation between the US and other markets. In addition, the magnitude of the increase in correlation is found to be greater in respect to emerging/frontier markets than in respect to developed markets. Second, the long-term impact of the 2007–2009 financial crisis on time-varying correlations and volatilities is further examined by comparing estimates produced by different covariance models. The selected time-varying models (DCC, copula DCC, GO-GARCH: MM, ICA, NLS, ML; EWMA and SMA) produce statistically significantly different correlation and volatility estimates. This finding has potential implication for the estimation of efficient portfolios. Third, the different estimates derived using the selected covariance models are found to have a significant impact on the calculated weights and turnovers of efficient portfolios. Interestingly, however, there was no significant difference between their respective returns. This is the main finding of the thesis, which has potentially very important implications for portfolio management.

Full textAbstract:
The following dissertation contains two unique empirical studies that contribute to the overall literature in the field of Financial Economics in the areas of mutual fund investing and financial intermediation and regulation. The first Chapter, entitled “The Impact of Macroeconomic Stress on the U.S. Financial Sector”, examines the relative impact of macroeconomic stress on financial and non-financial U.S. firms. Empirical results show that macroeconomic shocks appear to have a larger impact on financial firms. Additionally, the sensitivity of financial firms to macroeconomic events can be traced to the influence of non-depository institutions, or “shadow banks”, like finance and investment companies, which are less regulated than depository institutions. The results coincide with several trends in the financial sector including increased competition, complexity and interconnectedness and highlight the need for governance mechanisms that account for the risks associated with these factors. The second chapter, entitled “Partial Adjustment Towards Equilibrium Mutual Fund Allocations: Evidence from U.S.-based Equity Mutual Funds”, examines the relative efficiency of equity mutual funds in terms of speed of portfolio adjustment by applying a partial adjustment model. Empirical results show that mutual fund managers are able and willing to quickly adjust their portfolios when results have been sub-optimal, implying that the cost of persistent poor performance is perceived as being high. Managers can offset about 106 percent of the deviation within one period. Additionally, results show that funds that typically engage in the costly production of specialized information, like emerging market and sector funds have more efficient speeds of portfolio adjustment than more passive funds, like market index funds. The results imply that actively managed funds may have efficiency advantages that have been previously ignored in the empirical literature.

Previous issue date: 2014-09-19<br>Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>This dissertation aims to deepen knowledge about society transformations resulting from contemporary crises, the neoliberal trends and the new models of public health management. It also aims to show the research conducted in the Northwest region in São Paulo state with social workers who work in healthcare, in order to know what they think about the public / private partnerships in the health management and their repercussions on professional interventions. We start this research by presenting the cyclical capitalist crises, its consequences and the neoliberal trends nowadays. Subsequently, we discuss social policies specifically health policy and the new models of public health management, especially the mix that is so present in the health policy management, that is, public / private partnerships in the implementation of health services. The work of the social worker in health is also discussed, considering many spaces of professional activities in health, beyond its legal apparatus governing the profession. The methodology included the bibliographical, documentary and quantitative and qualitative field research with professionals who work in healthcare in order to know their opinion about the public / private partnerships in the health policy management and also the repercussions to the professional category. All this displayed route was necessary to conclude that the present times are preoccupation times in front of the direction the society is heading, and that public / private partnerships are neoliberal strategies that favor private interests at odds with the concept of health as a public good, a citizen´s right and duty of the state<br>Esta dissertação pretende aprofundar conhecimentos sobre as transformações societárias decorrentes da crise capitalista contemporânea, as tendências neoliberais e os novos modelos de gestão da saúde pública. Objetiva, também, apresentar a pesquisa realizada na região noroeste paulista com os assistentes sociais que atuam na área da saúde, a fim de saber o que pensam a respeito das parcerias público/privado na gestão da saúde e os rebatimentos nas intervenções profissionais. Iniciamos o trabalho apresentando as crises cíclicas do capitalismo, suas consequências e as tendências neoliberais presentes na atualidade. Posteriormente, discutimos as políticas sociais, especificamente, a política de saúde e os novos modelos de gestão da saúde pública, principalmente o mix, que é tão presente na gestão da política de saúde, ou seja, as parcerias público/privado na execução dos serviços de saúde. O trabalho do assistente social, na área da saúde, também é discutido, levando-se em consideração os diversos espaços de atuação profissional na saúde, além das referências legais que regem a profissão. A metodologia adotada abrangeu a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e a pesquisa de campo quanti-qualitativa com os profissionais que atuam na área da saúde, a fim de conhecer sua opinião a respeito das parcerias público/privado na gestão da política de saúde e, também, os rebatimentos para a categoria profissional. Todo esse percurso permitiu concluir que os tempos presentes são de preocupação diante dos rumos que a sociedade está seguindo e que as parcerias público/privado são estratégias neoliberais que favorecem interesses privados, em desacordo com a concepção de saúde como bem público, direito do cidadão e dever do Estado

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas<br>O agravamento da situação económica que Portugal tem sofrido nos últimos anos tem levado os sucessivos governos a implementar medidas de contenção da despesa nos diferentes setores que compõem o Estado. O setor da saúde não é exceção, tendo-se verificado sucessivos cortes nos últimos anos.
Ao nível da farmácia comunitária, a realidade tem-se alterado profundamente. As sucessivas alterações legislativas que têm sido aprovadas desde o ano de 2005, não só vieram aumentar a concorrência no setor, com medidas como a liberalização da propriedade, a possibilidade de fazer descontos nos medicamentos e a venda de MNSRM fora das farmácias, como também vieram diminuir a rentabilidade das farmácias com as reduções sucessivas dos preços dos medicamentos e das suas margens de comercialização, a aplicação de margens regressivas em vez de margens fixas e o aumento de stock por imposição legal, entre outras medidas.
Tais alterações fizeram com que o setor das farmácias atravesse agora uma grave crise económica e financeira, havendo mesmo farmácias a fechar. Como consequência, tem havido também uma redução da assistência às populações.
Para responder a estas dificuldades, as farmácias e os farmacêuticos devem unir-se em torno de objetivos comuns, defendendo uma nova forma de pensar a farmácia, em que o atendimento ao doente ganha uma maior importância face à venda do medicamento.
The worsening of the economic situation that Portugal has suffered in the last years has lead the successive governments to implement measures to curb spending in the different sectors that compose the state. The health sector is no exception, and in recent years there have been successive cuts.
In what community pharmacy is concerned, reality has profoundly changed. The successive legislative amendments that have been approved since 2005, not only have increased competition in the sector, with measures such as property liberalization, the possibility of making discounts on drug sales and the sale of non-prescription drugs outside pharmacy, as they also decreased the profitability of pharmacies with successive reductions in drug prices and their sales margins, the application of regressive margins instead of fixed margins and the stock increase by legal imposition, between other measures.
Such changes caused a severe economic and financial crisis in the community pharmacy sector, with pharmacies having to shut. As a consequence, there has also been a reduction in assistance to populations.
To address these difficulties, the pharmacies and pharmacists should unite around common goals, advocating a new way of thinking the pharmacy, where the patient’s care gains greater importance when compared to the drug’s sale.

Une démarche de conception évaluation sur le territoire irrigué de l'Aveyron aval." Thesis, Toulouse, INPT, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014INPT0133/document.
Full textAbstract:
Dans les territoires irrigués exposés aux crises de gestion quantitative de l’eau, la sévérité des étiages dépend des interactions entre systèmes de culture, situations pédoclimatiques, hydrologie, lâchers d’eau et restriction d’irrigation. Dans de nombreuses situations, l’absence de nouvelles solutions de stockage et les tensions entre gestionnaires et usagers de l’eau rendent nécessaire la planification des étiages. Mes travaux explorent le potentiel de « la gestion spatiale » de l’eau pour mettre en adéquation la dynamique des prélèvements pour l’irrigation avec celle de l’offre en eau disponible (naturelle et stockée). Je propose une méthodologie participative de conception-évaluation d’organisations territoriales des activités agricoles, déployée sur l’aval du bassin versant de l’Aveyron (800 km²), en trois étapes: (1) modéliser le système socio-agro-hydrologique, (2) concevoir des alternatives de distribution spatiale des systèmes de culture, (3) conduire une évaluation intégrée des alternatives face à la variabilité climatique observée. Ces travaux combinent des méthodes, connaissances et outils « hard and soft », et font usage de la plateforme de simulation multi-agent MAELIA. Le processus a permis de formaliser des visions d’acteurs et de poser les bases d’une concertation multi acteur. Cependant la simulation des impacts de ces alternatives a montré leurs limites pour régler le problème de déficit structurel en eau. Cette démarche pourrait être prolongée pour aboutir à des propositions opérationnelles<br>In irrigated landscapes exposed to quantitative water management crisis, the intensity of low flows depends on interactions between cropping systems, pedoclimatic situation hydrology, water releases and withdrawal restrictions. In many situations there are no opportunities for more water storage, thus tensions occur between water managers and users, which makes the planning of water demand dynamics necessary. My work explores the potentials in the “spatial management of water” to align the water demand dynamics with natural and stored water availability. I present a 3 step, participatory method to design and assess agricultural landscapes: (1) model the Social-Agro Hydrological system, (2) design alternative spatial distribution of the cropping systems, (3) carry an integrated assessment of those alternatives based on observed climatic variability. This method combines “hard” and “soft” methods, knowledge and tools, and uses the MAELIA multi-agent simulation platform. I tested the method tested in the downstream area of the Aveyron River (800 km² Southwestern France). It allowed to formalize the actors’ visions on alternative distributions of the cropping systems. However they showed to be limited in solving the water deficit issue. The method could be continued to reach operational proposals

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche vise à développer une méthode pour l'analyse de la robustesse des plans de secours industriels. Des défaillances peuvent survenir lors de la mise en œuvre de ces plans, qui peuvent entrainer à un fonctionnement en mode dégradé des dispositifs. Les approches existantes d’analyse de ces plans ne permettent pas une analyse structurée du dispositif de gestion de crise. La méthodologie proposée dans le cadre de ce travail repose sur une formalisation structuro-fonctionnelle et générique des plans de secours industriels, décrivant à la fois les fonctions et les ressources permettant la réalisation de ces fonctions. De plus, ce travail s’est accompagné de retours d’expérience à partir de 159 rapports d’accidents et de 61 exercices POI/PPI, qui ont permis d’identifier des défaillances pouvant survenir lors de la mise en œuvre des POI/PPI. Le modèle développé et les informations obtenues par le retour d’expérience permettent de structurer l’analyse des dysfonctionnements pouvant se manifester lors de la mise en œuvre des plans. Cette analyse de la robustesse est basée sur une évaluation du risque de défaillance des fonctions du plan. La probabilité de défaillance est estimée à partir des questions d’évaluation et des arbres de défaillances des ressources et des fonctions. La gravité de la défaillance de chaque fonction est déterminée en utilisant les études de dangers de l’installation, en suivant la règle des dommages maximum qu’elle peut provoquer. La criticité de défaillance de chaque fonction est ainsi obtenue, et la criticité du plan résulte de l'agrégation des criticités de ses fonctions. Cette méthodologie constitue ainsi une boite à outils qui peut être utilisée à la fois pour l’évaluation des plans existants, mais aussi pour l’élaboration du dispositif défini dans un plan de secours industriel<br>The objective of this research thesis is to develop a methodology for the analysis of robustness of industrial emergency plans. Failures can occur when these plans are put into action; they can result to deteriorated operating conditions for these systems. Existing emergency plan analysis approaches do not allow for a structured analysis of the emergency response mechanism. The methodology developed in this research project is based on a structuro-functional and generic formalization of industrial emergency plans, which describes both the functions of the plans and the resources necessary for accomplishing them. Furthermore, lessons learned through the analysis of 159 industrial accidents and 61 internal and external industrial emergency plan exercises have led to the identification of failures that may occur during the use of industrial emergency plans for emergency response. The model that was developed and the information obtained through experience feedback result in a structured analysis of failures of these plans. This robustness analysis is based on the failure risk assessment of the plan’s functions. The failure probability is estimated through assessment questions and the plan’s functions and resources fault trees. The failure severity of each function is determined by using the facility’s hazard study and by applying the maximum damage rule. The failure criticality of each function is hence obtained, and the plan’s criticality results from the aggregation of the criticalities of the plan’s functions. The approach followed is hence based on a failure risk analysis, which in turn is built upon lessons learned and the critical analysis of the plan’s model. This methodology therefore constitutes a toolbox that can be used both for the analysis of existing plans and the development of emergency response mechanism

碩士<br>明志科技大學<br>工業工程與管理研究所<br>99<br>With a highly developed science and technology popularity of advanced information and communication, contributions of rising of environmental awareness, social expectations of the business are different too. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues previous focus on the interests of employees of corporate governance, corporate commitment to quality products and services, to community involvement and environmental protection. In recent years the global financial crisis and ongoing economic slowdown, businesses face the difficult operating environment without the slightest mishap. That is, the enterprises have crisis management capability will be relatively important to avoid fall into the body crisis. Question is: enterprises face of crisis, whether it can be transformed into an opportunity?
By means of a number of case studies and secondary data collection, with a dynamic decision-making model perspective, this study explores the concept of corporate social responsibility crisis management. Summarized from these case studies, the results of this study can be found: (1)dynamic decision-making model can help case corporates to develop their crisis management plan；(2)case corporates in face of crisis, the first activities should take planning decisions to think about how to resolve the crisis；(3)through the implementation of planning decisions, case corporates can dynamically adjust the repair activities, quickly reduce the harm caused by the their crisis management; and (4) the case corporates should address the impacts of crisis to their staff and conduct staff training activities, to prevent the same crisis situation occurred. As the result, case corporates should learn how to solve the crisis. The results of this study show that through the concept of corporate social responsibility and dynamic decision-making model constructed by the crisis management mechanisms, case corporates can earn the public and the media both by goodwill for the corporate. It is also believed that dynamic decision-making model can directly and indirectly enhance case corporates’ reputation and enhance their competitiveness, and create overall value.

碩士<br>元智大學<br>管理研究所<br>97<br>As the widely repeated medical cliché that prevention is better than cure, crisis management is also the best control mechanism before crisis coming. An effective crisis management model can eliminate all dangerous factors in advance, and, as if the crisis outbreaks, lower the damages it brings according to various emergency response procedures.
This study focus on collecting thesis literatures related to crisis management, analyzing, and site observing at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital (FEMH). By means of thesis literature reviewing, this study is based on the three-stage crisis management theory of Jay Nunamaker, pre-crisis stage, in-crisis stage, and post-crisis stage, combing with the nine steps of Hospital Emergency Response Planning and Management suggested by Dr. Fun-Yuan Shin. Through two action plans of “Influenza A (H1N1)” and “Elevator Malfunction”, the study observes the operation model of crisis management of FEMH and concludes the following:
I. Crisis prevention is the most necessary measure of crisis management. It is important to establish and practice all crisis prevention mechanisms. Besides regular checking procedures of facilities, the crisis prevention mechanisms also include:
1. Exercise: Simulate various crisis conditions and check the operation of response plans and management system normally. Furthermore, it drives staff to be familiar the response procedures and thus increases their confidences.
2. Review: For crisis happened, use Root Cause Analysis to find out the cause and solve it. For crisis not happen yet, use Failure Mode and Effect Analysis to figure out the reason and prevent it.
3. Organize different authorities for different damages. Observe the changes of inner and outer environments and become aware of damages at the first time.
4. Establish unusual incident reporting system. In addition to notifying staff the unusual incidents, it acts as a database for event statistics and analysis.
II. Consciousness of crisis is the top requirement of crisis management. Due to the complexity of hospital organization and variety of crisis factor, each staff should own high consciousness of crisis – observe the change of environment carefully and alert relevant personnel immediately when damage happens.
The smooth of information communication leads to the success of crisis management system. All information of characteristic of crisis, progress of crisis process, crisis response procedure and damage need be passed by sound communication system.

博士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>工業教育與技術學系<br>95<br>ABSTRACT
This study aimed to construct a model for school crisis management, developed crisis management capability indicators in vocational industrial high school, and examined the difference of the variables and the indicators. As a result, this study verified the indicators of school crisis management capability.
This study utilized interviews and Delphi Technique to identify the indicators of school crisis management capability and the weight system by Analytic Hierarchy Process. Stratified random sampling was conducted for “The questionnaire of school crisis management status” and “The questionnaire of school crisis management capability” to survey the principals and teachers in vocational industrial high schools. Moreover, principal’s cognition of indicators, factor analysis and canonical correlation were also verified for suitability.
The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, MANOVA, canonical correlation, and factor analysis to test hypothesis. According to the suitable model of school crisis management, this study applied the model to develop the indicators of school crisis management capability and to analyze the weight of indicators.
a. A model of school crisis management of vocational industrial high school should involve school crisis prevention and core school crisis management. The school crisis prevention involved school culture and crisis sense, human and public relationship. The core school crisis management involved crisis preparedness, crisis response, crisis recovery, crisis learning.
b. According to model of school crisis management, developed the weigh system of school crisis management capabilities. The study established school crisis management capability indicators for vocational industrial high school from two levels. The first level involves two indicators such as school crisis prevention capability, school crisis management core capability.
c. The indicators in the second level were six, which involve school culture and crisis sense (.35), crisis learning (.18), crisis preparedness (.14), human and public relationship (.13), crisis respond (.10), crisis recovery (.08). (ordered by their importance)
d. Principals had quiet unanimous view on the crisis management capability indicators. As the result of questionnaire, it verified school crisis management capability indicators. From the factor analysis result, it can get a variation of the explanation to 74%; from the canonical correlation, it can get a variation of the explanation to 68%.
e. The critical incident of the school had happened in a half of school in the past four year. There were only less than half of principals who trained during the term of service; the status of school crisis management was fine in vocational industrial high school.
f. The most annoying problem of school crisis management was an improper report in the media. Secondly, the shortage of colleague’s crisis sense to school; the rule of relevant decrees was too difficult to understand totally; less critical incidents training in the daily lift; Insufficient experiences of the school critical incident.
g. The principals thought the meanings of crisis of the school were disasters, difficult to predict and happening promptly, the positive meanings were an opportunity, preventable, learnable, news, could be managed, and could be detected.
h. The principal didn’t achieve to the obvious significance differences in the sense of school crisis management capability, variable of population, and the environment background.
i. There was no significant difference in the status of school crisis management to the difference variables of teachers, such as education variable, school property variable, school location variable. There was significant difference in the sense of status of school crisis management to the difference variables of teachers, such as age variable, year of service variable, position variable, and school scale variable.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>景文科技大學<br>觀光與餐旅管理研究所<br>99<br>There are increasing numbers of people travel abroad as a group package tour ever since the government lifted the ban for people to travel abroad for the purpose of pleasure. To travel around the world is quite often Taiwanese people’s dream. On the other hand, those who passed the governmental exam and attended relevant vocational training on tour management would be entitled to obtain a licence to perform as professional tour leaders. As a result, many green-hand tour leaders would begin to lead tours to foreign countries under the situation of lacking in practice and experience. Once they encounter crisis during travel, the members in the group tour as well as leaders themselves would run the risk to lose their lives or their properties. This will of course bring disputes about the issues and damage the reputation of the travel agency in the end.
This study aimed to probe into the justification of the current vocational training for the tour leaders facing the travel crisis. The research is processed .by conducting in-depth interviews among 12 selected professional tour leaders. Data and information on crisis management when travelling were collected from the interviews, followed by evaluation on relevant vocational training and reference model of travel crisis management.
Results of the study are as follows:
1. Current pre-professional training could benefit the tour leaders when handling the travel crisis, however the relevant on-the-job training is insufficient. Tour leaders tend to gain relevant knowledge by consulting the experienced ones, reading books or retrieving information on websites.
2. Travel crises often happen at the scenic points and hotels on youngsters and elderly, and most cases are accidents such as loss by theft, injury caused to the tourists, etc.
3. The relevant vocational training such as first-aid processing would be helpful handling the crisis. Besides, the key managing the travel crisis is to make appropriate decision on the spot.
4. Provide a model of travel crisis management for tour leaders reference by sorting the types of travel crisis and relevant solution based on the interviewees’ experience, for example, if the tour group meets an armed robbery, the tour leader should be calm and cooperative to safeguard the lives of the group members.
5. Propose a systematic training to use simulation of case study, periodical workshops held within the company, and mentor system to coach the green hands. These would enable the effective crisis management of tour leaders.

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>全球華商經營管理數位學習碩士在職專班<br>97<br>To make profit is the basic demand for an Enterprise. Each person has to learn some skill to survive in social jungle since leaving school, but in the end only a few of people can win the highest reward in the long-term race. How they can be successful, how to face failure where they encountered great difficulties during their working time? Through a profound understanding of the horizontal’s M & A activities (Merger and Acquisition), it helps us to stand on an invincible position in this kind of games, and then get a higher feedback than others business. By this motivation, this article will examine the following topics:
Through the procession of studying the subject, it needs to dig out the purpose in this paper by the following four questions.
1. The successful entrepreneur how to evaluate the possible risk before M & A process.
2. How entrepreneurs could successfully deal with an unexpected crisis during the procession of M & A?
3. To prove whether the failure experience is the mother of the next success of mergers and acquisitions when the chance comes out again.
4. To study how an entrepreneur to successfully integrate the different cultures among companies in mergers and acquisitions.
In the literature review section, it is not only to explore the past literature where there has been a similar topic in the research, but also to find out the useful theory to match my study findings. In my paper, I adopted three types of literature, namely the "M & A literature," "corporate crisis literature" and “how to Build an Evergreen Enterprise”. From the accounting, legal, patent and labor points of view, it was discovered some failure factors and solution strategy. A successful entrepreneur can obtain more values from others who neglected the enterprise value, and thus he can expand his business map by a fully skilled planning before the mergers and acquisitions.
After the research, found that the domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises are consistent at the motives of M & A, but when the mergers and acquisitions happened there exist a significantly different attitude to identify the value of the combined company. In the face of the crisis generated by mergers and acquisitions, the domestic and foreign companies have a consistent agreement that is honesty is the best policy to face all crises. If crisis happened, entrepreneurs can accurately determine the impact, the scope, the depth, and the size of the crisis at the beginning, it will much help to resolve the crisis. In the process of M & A integration of organizations, for all enterprises of respondents are agreed that the experience of past failures which would be a great helpful power for the next M & A process to avoid making the same mistake, On the final stage in the acquisition, integration process of different companies, there are existing quite different styles between the oriental and the West.
In this study, in-depth interviews with six companies’ chiefs, the respondents provided a lot of valuable first hand practical experiences, which are quite worthful information, and these are echoed by the following objectives:
A.The successful entrepreneur how to evaluate the possible risk before M & A process.
1. First, they should assess whether their employees can accept the new concept - mergers and acquisitions.
2. In advance to check or mine all related information/data from the target company is very important.
3. All procedures should abide by the legal legitimacy.
B.How entrepreneurs could successfully deal with an unexpected crisis during the procession of M & A.
1. To face the crisis honestly can be the best policy to save the parent company, and don’t care too much of personal diginity at this stage. Be sure to take decisive action to stop bleeding is the most and first matter that could have the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.
2. In order to set up an ad hoc group for M & A task, it is necessary to assemble special staff from each department, and the CEO is of course the team leader.
3. As the crisis emerging out, to estimate the problem’s scope and assess the damage’s size and depth would be at the first time. The shorter and the sooner is the better.
C.Whether the failure of M & A is to be proved it is a cornerstone of success for the next mergers and acquisitions.
1. It has been proved that the failure is the mother of success.
D.To understand the practical operations how to integrate different cultures in mergers and acquisitions
1. To respect the local culture.
2. To let overseas company’s staff to identify the parent company’s culture.
We also found that some past literature, such as from a financial and many other subjects have a number of clues for legal loopholes for further application on the M & A activity which will help to provide a positive and negative direction of thinking in the future.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>高階經理人企業管理碩士在職專班(EMBA)<br>103<br>Crisis management is always an important issue that cannot be neglected for corporations, governments and even individuals. The aim of this research is to study the government's crisis management through the applications of the theories to reflect the real practices. Ting Hsin’s Oil Crisis in 2014 is used as the case study to examine the government’s strategic model in dealing with the crisis.
The “Risk&; Crisis Management Manual” issued by Executive Yuan is referred to for the three courses of crisis which are “Latency Stage”, “Outbreak&; Management Stage” and “Recovery Stage”. The crisis detection system and plan can be generalized at the stage of “Latency” ; the “Emergency Response Team”, “Crisis Communication” and “Crisis Strategies Alliance” should be developed during the stage of “Outbreak&; Management”; the restoration and adjustments are happened at the stage of “Recovery”. We’ve found out that there’re still other influential factors such as leadership and ethical culture after the Documentary Analysis and Case Study were done.
Take the case of Ting Hsin’s Oil Crisis in 2014 to examine our government’s Crisis Management Model, it is found that the detection system and plan for crisis had already existed; however, the operation of the system was not complete enough to determine the crisis for earlier management to prevent the spread out of the damage. The “Emergency Response Team” was also organized to deal with it positively; however, the communication skills were not applied properly with empathy, correctness and unity of the information. The connections among the concerned units need to be improved as well, including the cooperation made with the local laboratories to speed up the testing time. As for the “Recovery Stage”, the related offices should be established by the government for the supervision of food security and the crisis management ability should be learned from these experiences.
We’ve noticed that the government’s strategic model of integrated crisis management raised from this research is different from enterprises and “Political Confrontation” has played an essential role in it.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>工業工程與管理研究所碩士班<br>90<br>In recent years, economy grows rapidly in Taiwan resulting in the increasing expectation for medical service quality. Therefore, patients hope that hospitals should supply much better equipment and service. Once the medical results were not as the patients’ expectations, complains will arise. If the hospitals did not deal well about the patients’ complains or even ignore their complains, a medical dispute then could arise.
This research reviewed the literature to realize the factors causing the medical dispute. By applying the concept of crises management, five phases of health service are divided as showed in the follows: waiting for health service, supplying health service, finishing health service, waiting for medicines, and leaving hospital. By summing up the factors causing the medical dispute, we can use the concept of crisis management to draw a distribution chart about medical dispute system, and four levels of preventive sign for medical dispute in hospital are divided as showed in the followings: the observation period, the incubation period, the warning period, and the dangerous period. The distribution chart could show the trend of dispute about what phases of health service that a hospital does not prepare enough.
This research applied the diagnosis questionnaire for the sign of medical dispute （DQSMD）in two hospitals, and shows the practicality of the DQSMD. After discussing the result of the DQSMD with people who handle medical dispute in the hospitals. The result shows that the DQSMD analysis is the same as the situation of the hospitals. Therefore, the DQSMD of this research could be as references to prevent medical dispute in hospital.

D.Ing.<br>For executive management to guide an enterprise, strategic planning is essential. Using Enterprise Wide Risk Management (EWRM) as an input to Scenario Analysis (SA) for Strategic Planning (SP) allows for improved accuracy over conventional methods. This would allow for greater realism from the executive management perspective of possible outcomes in scenario modelling by providing a solid quantitative base founded on real operational information. Emerging regulatory legislation for corporates also require quantitative risk management in the enterprise for reporting and rating purposes, providing a wealth of information for scenario modelling purposes. From the outset this research focuses on the industrial sectors in South Africa, though the model could be applied to any industry sector internationally. The core of any industrial enterprise is made up of the Operational Support Systems (OSS) that provide the hardware and software infrastructure to operate the business. The smooth operation and efficient handling of any unforeseen events in the OSS impacts the very survival of the en- terprise in a highly competitive environment. The development of an OSS risk management (RM) strategy to provide an efficient and effective way to recognise, classify and mitigate the risks involved in OSS is thus crucial to any enterprise that seeks to remain competitive. To implement this RM strategy and provide information regarding likely loss events, a quantitative risk model is required to simulate different scenarios. This research investigates the development of a Sector Wide Risk Model (SWRM) to simulate stress events in an industry sector and their impact on sector members.
