The article considers the function tracing method that provides project organizational structure systematic construction. Interconnectedness of methodological approaches between organizational design on a company scale and the role-based project structures construction has been described. Based on the existing level of organizational design development and its most frequently used methods, the tracing functions method from the project requirements to the functional roles of a project organizational structure have proposed and formalized. Initial data volume for organizational design and parallels between organizational structures of a company in general and a project in particular have been given. A mathematical scheme of the projected organizational structure functional distribution has been proposed considering a five-stage approach in tracing functions. The approach describes the stages of modeling the project organizational structure. On the basis of distributing the tasks required to be performed during the project realization, the principles description providing the correlation of the functionality to the project roles on the basis of the project realization goals has been offered. The factors that have a positive impact on project implementation and based on the considered approach of organizational structures functional design have been presented.

In the context of globalization, the issue of organizational diversity requires special attention. Organizational diversity is one of the components through which companies try to occupy dominant positions I relation to competitors. Organizational diversity implies differences in organizational culture, strategies or structure. In addition, organizational diversity is expressed in such signs as goals, objectives, norms and values. One key issue is the variety of organizational structures. The type of organizational structure a company uses leads to different approaches to decision making. The organizational structure is an important element in the company’s governance system. It Is the structure that determines the company’s management style, the ways of providing information from the lower to the upper levels of management and the form of communicating decisions from the upper to the lower levels. The formation of an organizational structure concerns a number of issues, including the level of formalization, forms of decision-making (centralized/decentralized), the chain of command and the norm of management. Given the diversity of organizational structures, a company is required to develop the right policy through which it will establish an organizational structure tailored to it. The article delas with the essence of organizational structure, the process of its formation and the factors to be considered in this process. The article also discusses different types of organizational structure, the characteristics and features characteristic of each of them.

Restructuring, redesigning or designing the organizational management structure on a scientific basis at domestic petrochemical enterprises are tools for improving the management system in the context of transition to new management standards, which contributes to the most effective achievement of goals. The article summarizes and analyses methods and approaches for designing organizational management structures and methods for their evaluation. In the development strategy of petrochemical enterprises aimed at resource conservation and the development of new petrochemical products, flexible organizational management structures are recommended, the design of which requires the use of a set of methods with the integration of the advantages of each of them. For proper management decision-making, it is necessary to develop a balanced system of indicators, in connection with which the author proposes the key indicators that characterize the effectiveness of the management system – technological, managerial, economic. The paper develops the functional model of modernization of the organizational management structure according to strategy of development of the enterprise based on the IDEF0 methodology. The study proposes the model of lean strategy for the development of the organizational structure of petrochemical enterprise management, as the integration of business strategic management systems, production organization and personnel training, based on the project management approach.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine whether there is a relationship among leadership, action, social, and personal competencies of managers in modern organizational structure types and whether a relationship exists between a company's organizational structure and performance. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was carried out among top managers in Slovene mid- and large-sized companies. The relationship among managerial competencies, the choice of organizational structure type and the company effectiveness were measured with a value-added approach. The method of structural models was used for establishing the affect among individual variables. Findings – The results support the hypothesized effect of managerial competencies on a company's organizational structure type. The effect of a modern, horizontal organizational structure on a company's performance and growth on the market facilitates the achievement of higher value added as well as has a direct impact of managerial competencies on a company's performance. Research limitations/implications – The study was limited to mid- and large-sized companies in Slovenia. Only top managers were included in the study as they are the ones that are responsible and have the largest influence in creating a company's organizational structure. Practical implications – The paper includes implications to those organizations in the process of restructuring and for those companies that are prepared to modify traditional principles of management participation. Originality/value – To the authors knowledge no research studies were found that examined the affect and relation of top management competencies with respect to different organizational structures.

Universities in Russia are experiencing a dynamic transformation of scientific and educational processes, their structures, and management systems. These changes occur at different rates and levels of transformation; they allow for both positive and negative transformation scenarios. A general trend to develop university’s management systems in the country – as well as in the whole world – lies in the managerialization, which poses risks for transforming a university. Following Mintzberg’s methodology for analyzing organizational systems and Taleb’s concept of “black swans”, the paper aimed to analyze degradation scenarios for developing university’s management systems and identify factors and conditions for these scenarios and their consequences for universities.

Full textAbstract:
We live in the time of transformations and in response to environmental challenges, traditional forms of organizational designs are changing towards more networked ones. Human resource practitioners claim that ‘Organization of the future’ requires freedom to act, flexible working practices, outcome-based performance management, and high-trust working relationships, however, there is limited empirical attention directed to the elements of organizational structures, and organizational design aspects have not been explicitly addressed. This research aims to identify which organizational design mechanisms facilitate collaboration within organizations and positively contribute to organizational performance. The quantitative study uses data from a structured survey of Latvian organizations. The research findings provide empirical evidence of the positive impact of decentralization, outcome-based performance management and internal trust on collaboration within the organizational boundaries and performance measured as customer satisfaction. Assessing differences between organisations it was found that internal trust appears to be even more important collaboration ensuring factor for large organizations than for smaller ones. Research results show that managers should establish internal trust-based relationships within their organizations since the effect of trust on collaboration could not be overestimated.

The demands made of each of these functions can lead to increasing role confusion in otherwise historically well-defined functions. It is important to understand the reasons for existing practices in defining and utilizing these roles and the functions they perform in today's engineering systems. It is the goal of this thesis to show the motivation for current practices in systems and program management, and to shed light on some of the lessons learned in managing both the technology as well as the encompassing technology programs. We look specifically at existing practices in the aerospace industry as our case-study to understand matrix organizational structures, as well as gain insights from the commercial industry and academic literature on the practices deployed in innovation and new product development and management. keywords: product development, matrix organization, systems engineering, program and project management, engineering management, managing innovation<br>by Talha Siddiqui.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
Using modeling and computer simulation, this research focuses on studying two different views to organizational design and their implications for performance in the context of academic institutions. One view represents the manifest structure that includes resources (students, faculty, administration, facilities, finances, partners, donors, etc.); the other view represents the latent structure that focuses on dissent. The dissertation addresses the following two questions; 1. What are the tangible dynamic interdependencies constituting the manifest structure within academic institutions and their impact on performance? 2. What is the impact of the latent structures composed of intangible organizational processes, especially dissent, on performance? The dissertation proposes generic system dynamics simulation models untangling the complexity of the topic by tackling various slices of the problem in separate papers. The models are based on three different theoretical frameworks addressing resources and their composition, dissent, and stakeholder engagement. It is observed that while both the manifest and the latent parts of the university organization impact its performance, the latent part, being invisible, is often ignored. In the long run, the influence of the latent part of the organization can slowly but seriously compromise intangible performances components like quality, reputation, and attractiveness. When the manifest part of the organization is dysfunctional, its tangible performance rapidly suffers. The damage control policies will often impact the latent organizational performance leading the institution into a vicious cycle. The presence of time delays in this framework may create an oscillatory behavior that might modulate a growth or decline trend. Performance measures addressing intangible performance components must be factored into the organizational design since faculty, students, and other stakeholders are not only driven by financial rewards, but also by the organizational environment. The research, besides addressing the important question of the role of latent elements in organization design and demonstrating this can be done using system dynamics modeling and computer simulation, should also be of value to the design and management of higher education institutions.

Thesis: S.M. in Engineering and Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2018.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 91-94).<br>A project planning phase is critical to the success of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project. The design of a work breakdown structure (WBS) is an essential and effective task in the planning phase. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new way of designing a WBS through the Work Breakdown Design Pattern Generator (WBDPG). Compared to conventional ways of creating a WBS, the WBDPG helps to design a WBS based on the ability to compare the alternatives and their potential benefits. The core hypothesis of this research is that a well-designed and thus better performing - WBS should increase alignment between situational project requirements and the project's product breakdown structure (PBS) or organizational breakdown structure (OBS). In order to consider this alignment and tradeoffs, a method is proposed which uses morphological and domain mapping matrices to conduct a tradespace and scenario analyses. With this "generator" method, combinations of different breakdown rules across several layers of hierarchy lead to predicted varying levels of performance of the project. For example, a WBS made of functional breakdown rules shows high alignment with the PBS, thus such projects result in better performance related to the product structure. In contrast, a WBS driven by resource breakdown rules aligns highly with the OBS, resulting in high performance related to the organizational structure. In a case where locational difference has a big impact on the project, a WBS made of geographical breakdown rules is likely to lead to better performance. The research concludes that the Work Breakdown Design Pattern Generator can forecast different performance given WBSs designed through different combinations of breakdown rules, and resulting variation in alignment across breakdown structures. Given that PPP projects are often complex, with large-scale and many stakeholders, the method demonstrates a way that structural alternatives can be generated so that the various partners in dialogue can shape their work approach efficiency in the early phase. The research has several limitations and opportunities for extension. In this paper, the organization structure and the product structure are assumed as given. Also, any refinement or change loops to the WBS during the project were not considered.<br>by Young-Min, Kwon.<br>S.M. in Engineering and Management

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the research undertaken was to examine the concept of
program structure design within the context of program management, propose an
ideal-type model for a program design process and use it to assess the 1989-1993
program design activities of Queensland Government departments.
A search revealed a dearth of literature on the topic of program design and the
lack of sound empirically based theory on the topic.
Staff from seventeen government departments were involved in structured face
to face interviews using a questionnaire with a list of forty-three questions.
The framework for the ideal type-model was gleaned from the little available
program management and related literature, and the interviews with departmental staff
who were involved in program management activities.
The research found that the design period was particularly turbulent for the
public sector. It was characterised by the rise to power of the first new State
Government in thirty years, a reduction in the number of departments from 27 to 18,
departmental amalgamations, large scale retrenchments, Public Sector Management
Commission reviews of all departments, a new Public Service Management and
Employment Act, many new operational Standards and the new concept of program
management.
All programs in all government departments and agencies were being designed
almost simultaneously. In the absence of a program design model and under tight
resource constraints, relatively few departments undertook comprehensive and
effective program design activities. Many departments renamed existing
organisational units as programs and a few simply synthesised programs for central
agency financial reporting purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M. in System Design and Management)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2010.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 80-81).<br>A large business requires efficient and effective internal communication among employees to achieve its goals. Dodds, Watts, and Sable (DWS) introduced a communication network model assessing information flow within a business by examining the relative influences of organizational structure, message volatility, and task decomposability on the probability of successful message transmission, but there is no research available that examines this or similar models in the context of a real business. The model predicts optimal message flow in a "Multi-scale" organizational network, a structure which in practice may most resemble a matrix organization. In this study a survey was designed to measure the influence of rank and department on message transfer - particularly the informational attributes of understanding, accuracy, importance, and influenceability - originating from the Balanced Scorecard in a large, matrix-managed aerospace business. The survey data indicated the following results: - Understanding (of the Balanced Scorecard metrics) was significantly influenced by employee rank and exhibited some effects of departmental expertise with certain metrics. - Belief in the accuracy of the metrics correlated highly with Understanding. - Importance rankings of the metric displayed high alignment across both rank and department, an encouraging result for company management. - Influenceability (people's belief they could affect the metric) was heavily influenced by rank and somewhat influenced by department. It also generally exhibited the lowest levels and highest variation when compared to the other attributes. - A deeper analysis comparing the Engineering and Program Office departments revealed consistently better vertical communication for Engineering, and better lateral communication within ranks for Program Office, which may indicate an additional influence of department culture on information flow. When subjected to a DWS interpretation, the survey results provided clues about relative influences of rank and department on message flow and relative values of other DWS model parameters - task decomposability and message traffic volume - could be gleaned from employee comments and post-survey interviews. The study falls short of making absolute characterizations of the DWS attributes, but is able to make inferences regarding the communication of the separate attributes relative to each other. Indeed, one important implication of the work done here to DWS theory is that for different business concerns and for different organizations within the overall company, there are apparently different mappings onto the DWS communication framework. Analysis of the study data for this organization indicates lateral communication may be better than vertical communication for Understanding and Influenceability; Accuracy does not exhibit dominance by either parameter; and Importance is well communicated laterally and vertically. More empirical data on measurable information traffic such as email is needed from different organizations, industries, and national cultures for DWS parameter values to converge upon more absolute values.<br>by James Clayton Kopp.<br>S.M.in System Design and Management

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUPPLY NETWORK CONFIGURATION, INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION SHARING AND PERFORMANCE By MARCIA DALEY August 2008 Committee Chair: Dr. Subhashish Samaddar Major Department: Decision Science Critical to the success of a firm is the ability of managers to coordinate the complex network of business relationships that can exist between business partners in the supply network. However many managers are unsure on how best to leverage their resources to capitalize on the information sharing opportunities that are available in such networks. Although there is significant research on information sharing, the area of inter-organizational information sharing (IIS) is still evolving and there is limited research on IIS in relation to systemic factors within supply networks. To help fill this gap in the literature, a primary focus of this dissertation is on the relationship between the design of the supply network and IIS. The design of the supply network is characterized by the supply network configuration which is comprised of (1) the network pattern, (2) the number of stages in the supply network, and (3) where the firm is located in that supply network. Four different types of IIS are investigated, herein. These types of IIS are a function of the frequency with which information is shared and the scope of information shared. Type 1 (Type 2) IIS is the low (high) frequency state where only operational information is shared. Similarly, Type 3 (Type 4) is the low (high) frequency state where strategic information is shared. The argument is that the type of IIS varies depending on the configuration of the supply network and that this relationship is influenced by the coordination structure established between firms in the network. The second focus of this dissertation deals with the relationship between IIS and performance. Research findings on the benefits to be gained from IIS have been ambiguous, with some researchers claiming reduced cost in the supply network with IIS, and others finding minimal or no benefits. To add clarity to these findings, the role that uncertainty plays in the relationship between IIS and performance is examined. The thesis presented is that the positive relationship between IIS types and the performance of the supply network is impacted by process uncertainty (i.e. the variability in process outcomes and production times), and partner uncertainty. Social network theory and transaction cost economics provide the theoretical lens for this dissertation. A model is developed and will be empirically validated in a cross-sectional setting, utilizing a sampling frame randomly selected and comprised of supply management executives from various industries within the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, February 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-62).<br>Innovation has been long known to be difficult to accomplish in large companies that have well structured processes. Structured processes (such as the use of Six Sigma) can provide significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity. However, it can also hinder innovation in that it zones in on local, incremental solutions too quickly. This thesis explores different strategies corporations may take in incorporating innovation at their organizations. First, background and theory are presented to guide the discussion, grounded on ecological psychology. Second, a case study (VisionPRO Thermostat) is presented that provides insight in how innovation can work in large structured organizations; in this case, outsourcing and the use of common tools were used as the innovation strategy and transfer mechanism. Third, the discussion is expanded to broader corporate strategies that can inject innovation in product development processes. Innovation and structured processes are at odds with each other and need to be managed with different approaches. Innovation processes require creative isolation from high structure to open degrees of freedom and the design space; this can be accomplished through multiple strategies such as outsourcing, buying, injecting, incubating, co- locating, spinning-off, and distributing. Structured processes should rely on a high level of constraints that are highly predictable to push productivity and efficiency; this can be accomplished through Six Sigma and lean processes. Interfaces between the two sets of processes are critical to mediate effective transfer and insertion in product lines; in the case of the VisionPRO, common language (i.e., the common use of certain Six Sigma tools) and people played the interface role. Finally, conclusions, contributions, limitations, and future research are presented.<br>by John Roman Hajdukiewicz.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of recent developments in resilience research in organization and management studies, with a particular focus on cooperatives. The chapter highlights the importance of moving away from understanding resilience as a defensive and reactive measure and emphasizes the need for organizations to proactively design their capabilities to anticipate and respond effectively to adverse events while reducing overall vulnerability. Cooperatives, owing to their democratic principles, shared ownership, and community engagement, have developed organizational traits that foster resilience. The chapter presents three cases of the cooperative logics that demonstrate how organizations have leveraged their historical and structural factors to build problem-solving and adaptive capabilities that enable them to anticipate and respond effectively to adverse events while reducing overall vulnerability. The chapter concludes by discussing how decision makers across various organizational contexts can gain insights into how to balance flexibility and stability and develop their own resilience-enhancing logics and practices by examining the experiences of cooperatives.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The construction industry accounts for 40% of global energy consumption and greenhouse gases emission, emphasizing the need for sustainable solutions. This research proposes an automated BIM-based approach to optimize embodied carbon (EC) and material costs at the production stage (A1-A3) by incorporating low-carbon materials during the design phase. Using Dynamo scripts, it connects the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization materials database and costs with Revit models to quickly and accurately calculate the embodied carbon and cost values. A case study of a two-storey residential building was analyzed. The embodied carbon and cost values are significantly reduced from 309.47 kgCO2e/m² and 3929.81 THB/m² to 265.25 kgCO2e/m² and 3581.68 THB/m² resulting in a total reduction of 14.30% and 8.85% respectively. The results are visualized in Power BI to support environmentally conscious design decisions.</p>

Full textAbstract:
After the latest reforms in higher education according to the NPM (New Public Management), the autonomy of universities and the organizational perspective have been strengthened. According to predominantly used neo-institutional research in higher education, organizations adapt their structure by the pressure of legitimacy from outside. So the research question arises, if universities are actors and if so, what are the influencing factors on organizational structure. The goal is to point out the reasons for organizational design and if they act on their own or only adapt changes by pressure from outside. For this, interviews with 16 experts in faculty management are conducted and interpreted using qualitative content analysis according to Mayring and Grounded Theory. The results show that it is possible for faculties to change and design their organizational structures. There is staff responsible for this task. They work in the faculty between management and administration. Reasons to change the organizational structure are not caused by legitimacy. Much more, the new tasks cause a real need for new positions. This argumentation is not in line with neo-institutionalism. So the results strengthen the thesis that neo-institutionalism is not sufficient anymore to explain the organizational change of universities.

Full textAbstract:
Management of product design projects becomes increasingly difficult as the complexity of products increases. For better management of such projects, well-considered preliminary coordination of design processes is essential. This paper proposes a method for coordination in the design process, which comprises two phases: 1) division of the design work into smaller tasks and sequencing them and 2) establishment of management activities. To facilitate this coordination, an integrated model of a product, process, and organization is proposed. The division and sequencing of design tasks is based upon analysis of the product model. The method utilizes rational prioritization of design parameters, which means identification of parameters that must be first considered for changes. The resulting design processes can show where coordination among design tasks is needed. This, in turn, implies the necessity of management. It is preferable for a different style of management to be adopted for each part. Here, the importance of management and organizational structure prescribe the style of management that should be adopted. In this paper, two approaches to management are discussed: 1) the formation of a pre-agreement, and 2) integration and after-approval. Throughout the paper, the example of a solar boat design is used to explain how the proposed method works and to demonstrate its feasibility.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing competition in the organizational environment and strengthening human capital can greatly contribute to the ability to close existing gaps in the development process and ensure a more competitive level, and the professional development process includes not only setting career goals and training agreements, but also evaluations and the feedback needed to assess progress. By optimizing nonverbal skills and forming impression management strategies promoted by psychological training in enhancing the knowledge and skills of police employees, they serve as a basis for organizational projects designed to facilitate self-realization of internal potential and stimulate their involvement in the organization. Organizational behavior is the study of the behaviors of individuals, which involves understanding, predicting and controlling human behavior, models and structures, in order to improve the environment, performance and efficiency of the organization. The original of this paper is that the research results led to the identification of components and mechanisms for producing change at the macro-, meso- and microsocial level, which uses a perpetual mobilization of social actors in organizations. Another novelty, for a wider geographical area of scientific research, is the application of an intervention methodology in the training impression management strategies through nonverbal communication, with the purpose and purpose in developing relational skills and optimizing professional activity. The information obtained in research on nonverbal communication and impression management tactics on the organizational environment, can be applied for the development of programs for organizational counseling activities, business coaching and large-scale developmental training, promoted through managerial and corporate profile.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this article is the methodology of designing the organizational structure of the enterprise. The aim of the research is to summarize many years of theoretical and empirical research on the organizational structures of enterprises and the methodology of their design, especially the design of organizational structures of enterprises operating in a turbulent environment. Theoretical research has led to the definition of a multidimensional organizational structure design space (Pawlowski E., 2009). In parallel, this multidimensional concept was used to develop an organizational structure design methodology for Agile Enterprises (Pawlowski E., Pawlowski K., 2008). The next step was to develop a methodology for designing an organizational structure in the context of the Knowledge Based Economy (Pawlowski E. , 2010). In 2015-2016, an empirical study was conducted on the flexibility of the organizational structure of Polish enterprises (Pawlowski E., 2016). In 2018-2020, a methodology for designing organizational structures was developed for the Management Systems of of Intelligent, Autonomous Environment (Pawlowski E. , Pawlowski K. 2020). This article focuses on the design of organizational structures of enterprises operating in a highly changeable, turbulent environment. The methodology is described in a five-dimensional design space: 1. Interpretation of organizational structure, 2. Methodology of organizational structure modeling, 3. Methodological approach to organizational design, 4. Procedures of organizational structure design, 5. Principles of organizational structure design

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this research is to qualitatively explore the role of leadership in designing a flexible model of organizational structure in conditions of frequent market regime-switching, tail behavior, and jumps, based on the Galbraith’s Star model. Designing a flexible organization can be achieved by changes not only in the organizational structure, as previously believed, but also by changes in each of the design elements such as corporate strategy, structure, organizational culture, leadership, and human resource management. The paper focuses on understanding how to achieve organizational flexibility by changing the leadership factor, while assuming ceteris paribus. Moreover, this work attempts to gauge the contribution of leadership in the process of transforming a rigid, vertical company organization into a shallow, horizontal company organization. By adjusting the leadership input, the organization may be able to ensure stability and dynamism while being subjected to turbulent business environment.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted employees’ lifestyles as well as organizational service experiences. Disrupted service experiences have led to changes in employee well-being, behavior, and responses, disrupting existing organizational structures and leading to diminished effectiveness of workplace and workforce management. Employee satisfaction at work has become more crucial post-pandemic for retaining employees in the organization. To thrive in the postpandemic situation, offering improved flexibility and adaptability in the employee lifecycle will enable employees to respond and recover faster and better. In this paper, we analyse the employee service experience problems and disruptive scenarios that have occurred due to the pandemic. We propose a Rapid Service Design (RSD) approach to mitigate gradually unfolding challenges, accelerate the service design process cycle time, and creatively and iteratively respond to service continuity in pandemic-like disruptions.

Full textAbstract:
Reef fish populations play a vital ecological and economic role in the coral reef ecosystems of Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). However, these populations face significant threats from habitat degradation, rising global temperature, coral diseases, and increased fishing pressures. Traditional fishery-dependent data have proven inadequate for accurately assessing reef fish populations, necessitating the development of standardized, fishery-independent methodology. This document presents the Cooperative Multiagency Reef Fish Monitoring Protocol, a unified methodology designed to assess reef fish populations through visual census techniques. The protocol represents the consolidation of two distinct monitoring programs in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands, refining over 40 years of research and survey design improvements. Utilizing a single-stage stratified random sampling design, this methodology optimizes data collection by segmenting survey areas into 50 × 50 meter (164 × 164 feet) grid cells based on habitat type, depth, and management status. Surveys are conducted by region biennially using the Reef Visual Census (RVC) stationary point count method, which allows divers to record fish abundance, size structure, and habitat characteristics efficiently. Key objectives of the monitoring protocol include tracking relative fish densities, spatial distributions and size structures of both target and non-target species. The protocol also facilitates the evaluation of marine protected areas (MPAs) and other fishery management regulations. Data collected contribute to understanding sustainable fisheries management and conservation efforts and the impacts of environmental stressors and human activities. Findings from previous surveys indicate significant declines in economically important species such as snappers and groupers due to overfishing and habitat loss. Additionally, factors such as coral bleaching, hurricanes, invasive species (e.g., lionfish), and coastal development have altered reef fish communities. By standardizing monitoring efforts, this protocol provides robust, comparable data that inform fishery stock assessments, regulatory changes, and adaptive management strategies. This initiative is a collaborative effort among federal and territorial agencies, academic institutions, and conservation organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the University of Miami, the National Park Service (NPS), and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). NOAA serves as the data management and survey design lead, ensuring data integrity and accessibility for research and policy applications. As reef ecosystems continue to face ecological challenges, this protocol remains essential for guiding effective conservation and management decisions. Ongoing refinements in methodology, expansion into deeper reef habitats, and integration of advanced data collection technologies will further enhance monitoring efforts, ultimately contributing to the long-term sustainability of reef fish populations and their ecosystems.

Full textAbstract:
Under rapid urbanization that took place from around 1960 to 1990, the Republic of Korea has been facing various urban problems such as the expansion of urban slum, traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Among the various responses to these challenges, New Town development can be regarded as one of the most successful and effective strategies, which hasover 50 years of development history in five phases. Korea's New Towns were developed with three main purposes according to the periodic needs: industry support, housing supply, and nationwide balanced development. Phase I New Towns (1962-81) responded to the country's need for industry promotion. Phase II (1967-86), Phase III (1989-95) and Phase IV (2001-present) New Towns were built in response to the severe lack of housing emerged due to over-concentration in the capital and later its metropolitan area, by providing large-scale housing inside Seoul, in the outer ring of Seoul, and in the Capital Area respectively over time. Finally, the most recent Phase V New Towns (2005-present) provided response to the issue of equitable and balanced development across the country. These development yielded outcomes such as housing market stabilization, improvement of housing condition, securement of public and green spaces, economic effect on related industries, and expansion of urban infrastructure. The paper suggests three success factors of Korea's New Town development. First is feasible planning and concrete implementation strategies that enabled the implementing organizations to overcome conflicts and carry on with the project until completion. The second factor is institutional driving force and legal support which involved establishing a dedicated bureau, defining clear organizational structure and stakeholder roles, and providing timely Acts to support the land acquisition and construction. The third success factor is reasonable land acquisition methodologies which evolved over time from Land Readjustment to Publically Management Development. This paper also presents Sustainable New own Design Criteria as an important implication for the LAC to consider, which includes social, economic and environmental sustainability that pursue outcomes such as social inclusion, self-sufficiency, connectivity, green space and smart resource management. Exchanging these experience of Korea and promoting mutual cooperation would be highly valuable for the cities in LAC to minimize the trial and error and maximize the success factors experienced by Korea as an attempt to relieve the challenges of rapid urbanization they are faced with at present. In this regard, it is anticipated that Korea can actively share its accumulated New Town experience and knowledge and act as one of the promising development partners of the countries in LAC.

Despite the existence of Supply chain strategies put in place by Njeiforbi Supermarket to increase their performance there have still been faced with problems of stock-outs, low customer satisfaction, low profits and long lead times still hamper Njeiforbi Supermarket Buea. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effects of Supply chain management on Organisational performance of Supermarket in Buea case of Njeiforbi The research design adopted for this study was descriptive research survey. A stratified sampling technique was used for this study with a sample size of 35 respondents from Njeiforbi Supermarket, Buea. Pearson's correlation was used to test the hypothesis of the study using SPSS version 21. The finding revealed that there is a positive relationship between supply chain management of Supermarkets, Buea; case of Njeiforbi and their organizational performance. The results conclude that Supply chain management strategies (that is; supply chain integration, customer relationship management, information sharing, strategic supplier partnerships, supply chain collaboration and outsourcing) are actively carried out in Njeiforbi. Also, supply chain integration and collaboration were concluded to be greatly impacting organisational performance of Supermarkets, Buea case of Njeiforbi. The study also concludes that Njeiforbi faces lots of problems like high complexity of supply chain, poor inventory management techniques, poor customer service, and high supply chain volatility. The study therefore recommends that management should ensure a constant review and implementation of supply chain management practices especially lean practices which has not been exploited by the supermarket to enable them avoid obsolescence, auction sales, stock out, increase customer service and suppliers' relationship to maintain a constant trend of profit growth in the organization.

Full textAbstract:
The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) is a multi-institutional research and education center with headquarters at the University of California, Berkeley. PEER’s mission is to develop, validate, and disseminate performance-based seismic design technologies for buildings and infrastructure to meet the diverse economic and safety needs of owners and society. The year 2016 began with a change of leadership at PEER. On January 1, Professor Khalid Mosalam became the new PEER Director as Professor Stephen Mahin completed his 6- year term. Also in early 2016, Dr. Yousef Bozorgnia stepped down from the position of Executive Director, after serving as a key member of PEER’s management team for over 12 years. Several accomplishments of the Center during the leadership of Director Mahin were recounted during the PEER Annual Meeting on January 28–29, 2016. This meeting also set the course of the Center with several new thrust areas identified for future research. During the past year, PEER has continued its track record of multi-institutional research with several multi-year Mega-Projects. The PEER Tall Buildings Initiative (TBI) was recently expanded to include assessment of the seismic performance of existing tall buildings. The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) awarded a $3.4 million, 3.5-year research contract to PEER to investigate the seismic performance of wood-frame homes with cripple walls. The project will directly contribute to the improvement of seismic resiliency of California’s housing stock. Former Director Mahin will lead a broad effort for computational modeling and simulation (SimCenter) of the effects of natural hazards on the built environment. Supported by a 5-year, $10.9-million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the SimCenter is part of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) initiative, a distributed, multi-user national facility that will provide natural hazards engineers with access to research infrastructure (earthquake and wind engineering experimental facilities, cyberinfrastructure, computational modeling and simulation tools, and research data), coupled with education and community outreach activities. In addition to the Mega Projects, PEER researchers were involved in a wide range of research activities in the areas of geohazards, tsunami, and the built environment focusing on the earthquake performance of old and new reinforced concrete and steel structures, tall buildings, and bridges including rapid bridge construction. As part of its mission, PEER participated in a wide range of education and outreach activities, including a summer internship program, seminars, OpenSees days, and participation in several national and international conferences. The Center became an active board member of two prominent international organizations, namely GADRI (Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes) and ILEE (International Laboratory of Earthquake Engineering). PEER researchers and projects were recognized with awards from several organizations. Going forward, PEER aims to improve the profile and external exposure of the Center globally, strengthen the Business-Industry-Partnership (BIP) program, engage the Institutional Board (IB) and the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) to identify new areas of research, and explore new funding opportunities.

Six pipeline incident reports were systematically analyzed using a two-phased approach developed in the Abnormal Situation Management (ASM�) Consortium research program. The first phase of the incident analysis approach used the TapRoot methodology to chart the event sequence, identify contributing factors, including organizational practice failures, and identifying root causes of the organizational practice failures. The second phase of the analysis characterized the organizational failures as Common Failure Modes based on the HCS Effective Operations Practices and the specific expression of the root causes in terms of Common Root Cause Manifestations based on the Dirty Dozen human factors taxonomy. The Dirty Dozen taxonomy of human factors was found to have the potential to provide a tractable root cause framework for human and organizational factors. Specific limitations of the Dirty Dozen taxonomy as a HOF framework are discussed. Learning Outcomes: � Understand the potential impact of human and organizational factors on pipeline process safety incidents. � Understand the potential applicability of a human factors classification framework, the Dirty Dozen, developed in the aviation maintenance industry to the pipeline industry. Expected Benefits: � Increased awareness of the potential role and impact of human and organizational factors within the pipeline industry � Catalyst for ideas on how to improve the incident reporting system within your organization to better characterize the impact of human and organizational factors. Target Audience: � Risk engineers � Pipeline design engineers � Pipeline construction, operations and maintenance management and personnel Related report: PR-624-173901-R01 Human Organizational Factors in Pipeline Incidents

Full textAbstract:
The Realignment defined four key goals to respond to a perceived loss of Bank relevance and presence in LAC: sharpening sector focus and expertise, sharpening country focus, strengthening risk- and results-based management, and enhancing institutional efficiency. To achieve these goals, it proposed adjustments to the Bank's structure, processes, and human resources and incentives which included, among other things, the introduction of a new matrix organization, the delegation of additional responsibilities to country offices and project team leaders, the updating of operational and corporate processes, and changes in staffing and HR policies. This evaluation concludes that the Realignment's underlying direction toward a matrix structure and greater decentralization were appropriate, but it has not yet achieved all of its objectives. There are several noteworthy trends on the positive side. The technical skills of Bank staff have improved, the capacity to generate and disseminate knowledge has increased, and more authority has been delegated to country representatives and team leaders, bringing IDB closer to the client. The collaboration between staff in the same sector in country offices and headquarters has increased, as has the continuity of project team membership over the project cycle. However, the matrix is not yet functioning well. VPC has limited authority and few mechanisms to coordinate Bank inputs at the country level to ensure delivery of a coherent and efficient program. VPS and VPP have limited opportunity or incentive to bring their knowledge and influence to bear in country strategy and programming. Sector silos are tall and the pressures to lend and disburse greater than ever. As a result, the Bank and its borrowing countries are not reaping the full potential gains from cross-matrix coordination and collaboration in country strategy and program formulation, project design and implementation, and knowledge sharing. Moreover, the evaluation did not find conclusive evidence of improved efficiency. Some processes (such as quality control at the project level) appear unnecessarily time-consuming and uncertain, and the lack of full cost accounting or binding budget constraints for task teams weakens incentives for the efficient use of resources. The report offers five broad recommendations: (i) to enhance country focus, further strengthen the country program management function in country offices; (ii) to enhance inter-VP coordination and country program coherence, strengthen the role of VPS and VPP in country strategy-setting and programming; (iii) To enhance development effectiveness, strengthen mechanisms for quality control of Bank operational products; (iv) to enhance efficiency, continue to strengthen budget processes and information systems to ensure full and accurate cost accounting; and, (v) to promote effectiveness and efficiency, fill a significantly higher share of management positions through transparent competitive processes. Under each recommendation the evaluation proposes specific measures Bank management should consider (among other options) to move in the directions recommended.
