Fagan, Dorothy Violet. "Reading competence and Advanced level physics." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1996. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10021630/.
Full textAbstract:
Language, for various reasons, tends to be a neglected area in the school physics curriculum. Discussion of "literacy" in the context of science teaching is limited, and many teachers are unclear about the issues involved. However, so-called "active reading" exercises have had an impact on the science curriculum up to GCSE level as part of a broader campaign for enhancing reading for learning. This has helped to highlight reading in science but without necessarily clarifying the issues or attempting to integrate results with what might be called "standard measures of progress". This study uses reading exercises constructed around topics in the Advanced level physics course, to investigate reading among physics students. Evidence of student progress and achievement such as homework marks and the A level grade, are related to students' responses on the exercises, to obtain an objective assessment of the value of language-related activities. Reasons for the choice of texts and methodologies are two-fold: From the point of view of the physics teacher, to allow an investigation into the range of skills and abilities which students demonstrate on language-based material. For the students involved, to make participating in the exercises useful and relevant to their studies. Analyses are directed at looking at the text, task and responses individually from a linguistic as well as a pedagogic perspective, and more particularly at the relationships between the areas. Connections between reading competence and achievement in physics are shown and suggestions are made on how teachers could encourage reading, monitor the reading competence of students and identify students with problems. Implications for future research into language in physics are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
As organizations grow larger, so does the information base of the organization, and the need to findimportant information increases along with it. However, many organizations are neglecting theimportance of information. Enterprise search lets users search for information in multiple informationrepositories from one single application, without having to know where the information resides. The focalfirm of this research, Findwise AB, is a Swedish IT consultancy firm specialized in delivering searchsolutions to its customers. It has been shown that not many organizations have a strategy for their internalwork with enterprise search. Therefore, Findwise wants to be able to deliver enterprise search strategies toits customers. Such a strategy would facilitate the customers’ development of their internal enterprisesearch management. However, this requires the ability to define an organization’s current and future statewith regard to enterprise search management, something that, up until now has not been possible.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an enterprise search management maturity (ESMM)model, which Findwise’s consultants can use for assessing an organization’s current state, as well aspossible future state within enterprise search management. Through an extensive literature study, incombination with an empirical study consisting of a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, theESMM model was developed. The themes of the identified maturity levels of enterprise searchmanagement are; knowledge, management, priority, standardization, and sustainability. It is concludedthat the parameters to evaluate on each of these maturity levels are the three parameters information,technology, and user. Each of these parameters consists of three specific factors to evaluate, providingguidelines for what to look at in an assessment. This will enable Findwise to define an organization’scurrent and future state within enterprise search management, as well as enable organizations to gain themost benefit out of their enterprise search solution.<br>När organisationer växer ökar även deras interna informationsmängd. I takt med detta, ökar även behovetav att finna relevant information inom organisationen. Tyvärr är detta något som ofta försummas avdagens organisationer. Enterprise search är en sökapplikation som möjliggör sökning i flera olikainformationskällor från endast en applikation. Detta innebär att istället för att söka igenom olikainformationskällor via separata sökfunktioner, behöver användare av en enterprise search-lösning endastgöra en enda sökning. Findwise AB är ett svenskt IT-konsultbolag som är specialiserade på att utvecklasådana enterprise search-lösningar. Ett stort problem är att organisationer ofta saknar ett konkretarbetssätt och en strategi för enterprise search. Detta leder till att det blir mycket svårt att dels realiseravärdet av söklösningen, men även till svårigheter med att definiera hur det interna arbetet kringsöklösningen bör se ut. På grund av detta vill Findwise kunna erbjuda sina kunder enterprise searchstrategier.En sådan strategi skulle underlätta kunders interna utveckling av styrprocesser för enterprisesearch. Detta kräver dock förmågan att definiera en organisations nuvarande och framtida tillstånd medavseende på styrningen av enterprise search, något som fram tills nu ej har varit möjligt. Således varsyftet med detta arbete att ta fram en mognadsmodell för utvärdering av styrprocesser för enterprisesearch. Denna mognadsmodell ska bistå Findwise-konsulter med ett verktyg för att definiera vilkenmognadsnivå en organisation befinner sig på i dagsläget, men även se var man vill befinna sig iframtiden. Från denna utvärdering kan sedan de aktiviteter identifieras, som behöver utföras för att uppnåett framtida mål och skapa en strategi för enterprise search. Denna rapport beskriver utvecklandet av ensådan mognadsmodell för styrning av enterprise search. Modellen utvecklades genom en kvalitativfallstudie på Findwise AB, där resultat från en enkät och semistrukturerade intervjuer utgör grunden förstudien. Fakta och diverse koncept har även grundats i teori. Resultatet blev en mognadsmodell beståendeav fem olika mognadsnivåer: kunskap, hantering, prioritering, standardisering och hållbarhet. Dessaanvänds för att utvärdera mognaden inom tre huvudområden av enterprise search: information, teknik ochanvändare. Inom varje område är tre olika faktorer identifierade, som bidrar med riktlinjer för vad manbör titta på vid en utvärdering av enterprise search. Modellen möjliggör för Findwise att kunna definieraen organisations nuvarande- och framtida tillstånd med avseende på styrning av enterpris search. Dessutom skulle en sådan modell möjliggöra för organisationer att få maximalt utbyte av sin enterprisesearch-lösning.

This thesis is focused around work toward creating a global, high-level information and material value stream map for a specified pipe assembly. It identifies the largest areas of waste in the value stream and their root causes. The recommendations assist with the reduction and elimination of the major time delays, inventory buildups, re-work, excessive processes and other waste in the system. The pipe assembly chosen as the basis for the enterprise value stream map is part of a system, newly developed for the current aircraft carrier. The pipe assembly is representative of other pipe assemblies fabricated in the shipyard, so challenges experienced with the manufacturing and flow of the selected assembly are likely to be seen in many other pipe assemblies in the facility. A large number of assemblies was examined to determine the root causes of delivery problems. The analysis was based on the criticality of the ship need date. The root causes for the late assembly delivery were found to be inadequate material inventory levels in the warehouses, lack of fabrication timeline coordination between fabrication shops, late engineering drawing revisions, underestimated fabrication durations, late supplier delivery, late material purchase order placement, and lost material. Suggestions are provided to improve operational efficiencies by targeting the elimination of these root causes that result in the delay of assembly fabrication. Some include material ordering process reorganization, shop loading variability elimination, fabrication timeline alignment, metric realignment, and rework system prioritization. Recommendations for future work focus are<br>(cont.) concentrated on the control of the stock material inventory levels, alignment of the incentives across the enterprise, and reorganization of the planning processes.<br>by Yuliya M.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis within economics is examining the impact that remittances could have on the level of new small and medium sized enterprise start-ups. Remittances could be seen as a capital flow and would therefore increase the level of new SME start-ups but is this really the case? A model is developed with a panel data set over 45 countries all across the globe over a two year period. Six businesses environment variables are included in the regressions to see how the businesses environment affects the level of new SME start-ups. This model is also used when testing if the relationship between remittances and the level of new SMEs are stronger in the middle income countries than in the lower income countries. The descriptive statistics shows that both remittances and the number of new SME`s have increased from 2003 to 2005. The level of new SME`s have increased with a larger percentage share in the middle income countries relative to low income countries. The results from this thesis are somewhat difficult to interpret. Although there seems to be the case that remittances are not affecting the level of new SME start-ups when including all the countries in the same regression. As the countries are divided into two groups one can see a stronger relationship between remittances and the level of new SME started in the low income countries than in the middle income countries. One can also see that credit right and the cost of starting a new business is strongly related to the level of new SME.

Full textAbstract:
Information technology has become increasingly important to individuals and organizations alike. Not only does IT allow us to do what we always did faster and more effectively, but it also allows us to do new things, organize ourselves differently, and work in ways previously unimaginable. However, these advantages come at a cost: as we become increasingly dependent upon IT services, we also demand that they are continuously and uninterruptedly available for use. Despite advances in reliability engineering, the complexity of today's increasingly integrated systems offers a non-trivial challenge in this respect. How can high availability of enterprise IT services be maintained in the face of constant additions and upgrades, decade-long life-cycles, dependencies upon third-parties and the ever-present business-imposed requirement of flexible and agile IT services? The contribution of this thesis includes (i) an enterprise architecture framework that offers a unique and action-guiding way to analyze service availability, (ii) identification of causal factors that affect the availability of enterprise IT services, (iii) a study of the use of fault trees for enterprise architecture availability analysis, and (iv) principles for how to think about availability management. This thesis is a composite thesis of five papers. Paper 1 offers a framework for thinking about enterprise IT service availability management, highlighting the importance of variance of outage costs. Paper 2 shows how enterprise architecture (EA) frameworks for dependency analysis can be extended with Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Bayesian networks (BN) techniques. FTA and BN are proven formal methods for reliability and availability modeling. Paper 3 describes a Bayesian prediction model for systems availability, based on expert elicitation from 50 experts. Paper 4 combines FTA and constructs from the ArchiMate EA language into a method for availability analysis on the enterprise level. The method is validated by five case studies, where annual downtime estimates were always within eight hours from the actual values. Paper 5 extends the Bayesian prediction model from paper 3 and the modeling method from paper 4 into a full-blown enterprise architecture framework, expressed in a probabilistic version of the Object Constraint Language. The resulting modeling framework is tested in nine case studies of enterprise information systems.<br>Informationsteknik blir allt viktigare för både enskilda individer och för organisationer. IT låter oss inte bara arbeta snabbare och effektivare med det vi redan gör, utan låter oss också göra helt nya saker, organisera oss annorlunda och arbeta på nya sätt. Tyvärr har dessa fördelar ett pris: i takt med att vi blir alltmer beroende av IT-tjänster ökar också våra krav på att de är ständigt tillgängliga för oss, utan avbrott. Trots att tillförlitlighetstekniken går framåt utgör dagens alltmer sammankopplade system en svår utmaning i detta avseende. Hur kan man säkerställa hög tillgänglighet hos IT-tjänster som ständigt byggs ut och uppgraderas, som har livscykler på tiotals år, som är beroende av tredjepartsleverantörer och som dessutom måste leva upp till verksamhetskrav på att vara flexibla och agila? Den här avhandlingen innehåller (i) ett arkitekturramverk som på ett unikt sätt kan analysera IT-tjänsters tillgänglighet och ta fram rekommenderade åtgärder, (ii) ett antal identifierade kausalfaktorer som påverkar IT-tjänsters tillgänglighet, (iii) en studie av hur felträd kan användas för arkitekturanalys av tillgänglighet samt (iv) en uppsättning principer för beslutsfattande kring tillgänglighet. Avhandlingen är en sammanläggningsavhandling med fem artiklar. Artikel 1 innehåller ett konceptuellt ramverk för beslutsfattande kring IT-tjänsters tillgänglighet som understryker vikten av variansen hos nertidskostnaderna. Artikel 2 visar hur ramverk för organisationsövergripande arkitektur (s.k. enterprise architecture -- EA) kan utvidgas med felträdsanalys (FTA) och bayesianska nätverk (BN) för analys av beroenden mellan komponenter. FTA och BN är bägge etablerade metoder för tillförlitlighets- och tillgänglighetsmodellering. Artikel 3 beskriver en bayesiansk prediktionsmodell för systemtillgänglighet, baserad på utlåtanden från 50 experter. Artikel 4 kombinerar FTA med modelleringselement från EA-ramverket ArchiMate till en metod för tillgänglighetsanalys på verksamhetsnivå. Metoden har validerats i fem fallstudier, där de estimerade årliga nertiderna alltid låg inom åtta timmar från de faktiska värdena. Artikel 5 utvidgar den bayesianska prediktionsmodellen från artikel 3 och modelleringsmetoden från artikel 4 till ett fullständigt EA-ramverk som uttrycks i en probabilistisk version av Object Constraint Language (OCL). Det resulterande modelleringsramverket har testats i nio fallstudier på verksamhetsstödjande IT-system.<br><p>QC 20120912</p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to establish the key factors influencing trade performance at both industry and enterprise-level. The underlying purpose is to consolidate the diverse literature in International Marketing as well as provide new insights. For the industry-level study, trade performance models are developed and tested to explain changes in exports and imports for a cross-section of New Zealand manufacturing industries between 1985 and 1990. Increased exports are associated with larger firm sizes, lower levels of advertising intensity and least trade protection (by either tariff or export subsidy). The largest increases in imports have been in those industries which are relatively highly concentrated, with higher R&D intensities, and higher levels of tariff protection and foreign ownership. The key to raising the export performance of manufacturing in general, seems to lie with increasing the quantity and improving the quality of product-related R&D carried out in New Zealand.
A meta-analysis of 111 studies on export performance conducted during the period 1978-1991 was done to identify the key variables at enterprise-level. A multi-case study of 12 small to medium-sized firms, six from the timber processing industry and six from the electrical industrial machinery industry, was conducted to gather data for this section. The key variables identified in the meta-analysis are confirmed. The findings show that firm size drives export growth at both industry and enterprise-level. The study provides new insights on how the export behaviour process operates. Enterprises in both industries behave in a similar manner but there are significant differences in the behaviour between exporters and non-exporters. There is considerable overlap within export strategies among the group of eight exporters thus ruling out export strategy as an explanation for export performance.

Full textAbstract:
Cloud computing innovation adoption literature has primarily focused on individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. The functional linkage between cloud adoption and diffusion is instrumental toward understanding enterprise firm-level adoption. The purpose of this qualitative collective case study was to explore strategies used by information technology (IT) executives to make advantageous enterprise cloud adoption and diffusion decisions. This study was guided by an integrated diffusion of innovation and technology, organization, and environment conceptual framework to capture and model this complex, multifaceted problem. The study’s population consisted of IT executives with cloud-centric roles in 3 large (revenues greater than $5 billion) telecom-related companies with a headquarters in the United States. Data collection included semistructured, individual interviews (n = 19) and the analysis of publicly available financial documents (n = 50) and organizational technical documents (n = 41). Data triangulation and interviewee member checking were used to increase study findings validity. Inter- and intracase analyses, using open and axial coding as well as constant comparative methods, were leveraged to identify 5 key themes namely top management support, information source bias, organizational change management, governance at scale, and service selection. An implication of this study for positive social change is that IT telecom executives might be able to optimize diffusion decisions to benefit downstream consumers in need of services.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how regional-level factors combined with firm-level factors influence innovation in an emerging economy – India. Past literature has shown that differences in both country contexts and firm-level factors influence innovation. The bulk of this literature tended to focus on developed economies. The handful of studies that have considered contextual differences have studied these at the country-level or within regional blocks such as regions of Europe or Africa. There is a paucity of research, which investigates how differences in state-level factors within a single country combined with firm-level factors influence innovation within firms. Therefore, it is an open question whether the findings derived from developed economies and country-level studies apply equally to emerging economies, particularly at the state level within a single country. Thus, there is a gap in the literature regarding our understanding of the impact of combined state- and firm-level factors on innovation within a single country.
This thesis aims to contribute to a better understanding of how state and firm-level factors drive innovation in India, an emerging economy. India is selected because it is a fast-growing emerging economy that is increasingly being integrated into the globalized world economy and thus understanding how these factors influence innovation in an emerging economy would complement the literature that focuses on developed countries. Moreover, India is a huge country with substantial varieties in resources, capabilities, institutions (both formal and informal institutions) as well as ethnic, religious, and cultural varieties. Contextually, these state-level differences are quite different from regions in the developed world where institutional differences tend to be relatively consistent (less varieties). Thus, the insights generated from this study of the Indian context complement prior research by identifying the state and firm factors that combine to drive firm-level innovation. This study also extends the innovation literature by focussing on state-level differences within a single emerging economy, for which there is limited research.
The findings could also have practical managerial and policy implications. From a policy perspective, policymakers in India can get a deeper understanding of the relevant factors that influence firm-level innovation so that they can direct policy and resources to promote innovation in their respective states. From a managerial perspective, managers can also get a better understanding of strategies and investments they should take to enhance innovation within their firms.
This study is based on data gathered from various sources including the World Bank Enterprise Survey and several sources from within India (Indiastat.com, NCAER State Investment Potential Index, India Innovation Index). The World Bank Enterprise Survey provides firm-level data while state-level data were obtained from the other reputable sources in India. The data were analyzed using logistic regression and multi-level modeling, given that firms are nested within states, thus, we can simultaneously model the micro and macro levels to assess the relevance of the regional context.
The results of this study show that regional factors such as regulatory quality, corruption, and rule of law barriers negatively influence innovation in firms that invest in internal R&D to promote innovation. The results also show that regions that devote a higher proportion of their gross domestic product to innovation achieve higher levels of innovation. Further, regions that have higher levels of human capital stock (more skilled workers) and export technology tend to be more innovative. At the firm level, investments in both internal and external R&D and those that have highly experienced managers are more innovative than their peers.
These results suggest that governments and policymakers can increase innovative activities of firms by providing a highly skilled labor force, invest heavily in R&D, reduce corruption, regulatory quality, and the rule of law barriers. For firm-level managers, this study indicates that higher levels of managerial capability and greater investments in both internal and external R&D can enhance the technical and innovative capabilities (absorptive capacity) of their firms. This may result in a competitive advantage through increased innovation.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Relevantes mudanças organizacionais vêm ocorrendo nos últimos anos, trazendo diversas conseqüências para as relações de trabalho. Cada vez mais, as empresas precisam se adaptar às novas estruturas de
trabalho e compreender como a flexibilização tem ocorrido nessa nova realidade. O espaço físico organizacional passou a ter uma nova forma de caracterização. Este trabalho procura identificar as percepções dos trabalhadores que atuam em diferentes níveis de presença (ou ausência) no espaço físico de uma organização, além das influências que este nível de presença exerce sobre os elementos que compõem a sua relação com a empresa. Realizou-se estudo de caso em uma empresa multinacional instalada no Rio de Janeiro, na qual co-existem três níveis distintos de inserção de empregados no espaço físico da organização: (a) indivíduos que trabalham em tempo integral no escritório da empresa; (b) indivíduos que atuam nas instalações dos clientes (sistema de outsourcing); (c) indivíduos que trabalham no sistema home office. Foram realizadas 15 entrevistas semi-estruturadas, sendo cinco com cada grupo. Os resultados apontam que determinadas expectativas dos indivíduos, além de outros elementos que influenciam a formação dos contratos psicológicos, diferenciam-se de acordo com o grau de presença física no espaço organizacional. Por outro lado, aspectos como a identidade organizacional dos indivíduos não se mostram tão afetados por essa dimensão espacial.<br>Relevant organizational changes have occurred during the past few years with several impacts on work relations. More often companies need to adapt themselves to the new working environment and understand how flexibility has taken place in this new scenario. Organizational space has
been analyzed from a new point of view. This paper expects to identify the employee s perspectives
based on their presence (or absence) on the physical organizational space. Also it intends to verify how this level of presence can influence the components part of the relations between the employee and the employer. A study case was taken in an international company located in Rio de Janeiro, where
there are three different levels of presence on the physical organizational space: (a) individuals who work
full time in the company s office; (b) individuals who work from customer- site (outsourcing model); (c) individuals who adopted the home office system. 15 semi-structured interviews took place considering five by each group. Results point that specific expectations and aspects related to the physiological contract
differ according to the level of physical presence in the organizational space. From the other side, organizational identity does not seem to be impacted by this spatial dimension.

Full textAbstract:
In data intensive applications deployed in enterprise networks, especially applications utilizing peer-to-peer technology, locality is of high importance. Peers should aim to maximize data exchange with other peers where the connectivity is the best. In order to achieve this, locality information must be present which peers can base their decisions on. This information is not trivial to find as there is no readily available global knowledge of which nodes have good connectivity. Having each peer try other peers randomly until it finds good enough partners is costly and lowers the locality of the application until it converges. In this thesis a solution is presented which creates a logical topology of a peer-to-peer network, grouping peers into clusters based on their connectivity metrics. This can then be used to aid the peer-to-peer partner selection algorithm to allow for intelligent partner selection. A graph model of the system is created, where peers in the system are modelled as vertices and connections between peers are modelled as edges, with a weight in relation to the quality of the connection. The problem is then modelled as a weighted graph clustering problem which is a well-researched problem with a lot of published work tied to it. State-of-the-art graph community detection algorithms are researched, selected depending on factors such as performance and scalability, optimized for the current purpose and implemented. The results of running the algorithms on the streaming data are evaluated against known information. The results show that unsupervised graph community detection algorithm creates useful insights into networks connectivity structure and can be used in peer-to-peer contexts to find the best partners to exchange data with.<br>I dataintensiva applikationer i företagsnätverk, speciellt applikationer som använder sig av peer-to-peer teknologi, är lokalitet viktigt. Klienter bör försöka maximera datautbyte med andra klienter där nätverkskopplingen är som bäst. För att klienterna ska kunna göra sådana val måste information om vilka klienter som befinner sig vara vara tillgänglig som klienterna kan basera sina val på. Denna information är inte trivial att framställa då det inte finns någon färdig global information om vilka klienter som har bra uppkoppling med andra klienter och att låta varje klient prova sig fram blint tills de hittar de bästa partnerna är kostsamt och sänker applikationens lokalitet innan den konvergerar. I denna rapport presenteras en lösning som skapar en logisk vy över ett peer-to-peer nätverk, vilken grupperar klienter i kluster baserat på deras uppkopplingskvalitet. Denna vy kan sedan användas för att förbättra lokaliteten i peerto-peer applikationen. En grafmodell av systemet skapas, där klienter modelleras som hörn och kopplingar mellan klienter modelleras som kanter med en vikt i relation till uppkopplingskvaliteten. Problemet formuleras sedan som ett riktat grafklusterproblem vilket är ett väldokumenterat forskningsområde med mycket arbete publicerat kring. De mest framstående grafklusteralgoritmerna är sedan studerade, utvalda baserat på kravspecifikationer, optimerade för det aktuella problemet och implementerade. Resultaten som produceras av att algoritmerna körs på strömdata är evaluerade mot känd information. Resultaten visar att oövervakade grafklusteralgoritmer skapar användbar information kring nätverkens uppkopplingsstruktur och kan användas i peer-to-peerapplikationssammanhang för att hitta de bästa partnerna att utbyta data med.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design & Management Program, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 210-214).<br>Continually declining Navy surface combatant acquisitions, the war on terror, shifting Congressional priorities and a consolidated shipbuilding industrial base are forcing fundamental changes in the defense shipbuilding market. Shipbuilding in the United States is a mature industry that requires an experienced workforce and a predictable workload to design and construct an extremely complex product. However, naval planning and Congressional appropriations are volatile and discontinuous processes governed by a broad array of exogenous forces. Substantial changes will be required at Bath Iron Works (BIW) to enable the company to more nimbly and flexibly support the U.S. Navy customer as the environment continues to change and new threats emerge. There is no one, integrated, approach for implementing enterprise-level change from conception through implementation. Large-scale change must be tailored to the requirements of the individual organization and executed in a manner that is acceptable to the prevailing culture, even if the culture itself is an objective of the change. Successfully changing the processes and culture of an enterprise takes time, significant planning, technical and business acumen and must employ elements of organizational behavior and processes, project management, and system design, to name a few. BIW's change effort, known internally as BIW 2011, will be a substantial, complex endeavor requiring a rigorous, systematic approach to design, integration and planning before any implementation begins. This thesis explores the exogenous and endogenous elements affecting BIW and applies the principles of change management and systems-thinking to design an integrated, systematic plan for approaching enterprise-level change.<br>by Andrew S.

Full textAbstract:
Increasingly Manufacturing Enterprises (MEs) need to perform competitively to survive in today s global markets. This thesis investigates the notion that competitive product realisation is not simply dependent on deploying state of the art operational and infrastructural support processes but also depends upon the adoption of management processes that ensure efficient and effective use of human and non human resources. Having an experience of more than two decades working in a public sector ME located in Pakistan the author has observed that improvements in timelines, quality and profit begins from measurement; followed by goal, problem & solution understanding, then planning and control of needed change. Therefore, a desire to enhance best practice qualitative and quantitative measurement of management processes triggered and focussed this research. Consequently the aim of this research has been to contribute to knowledge by using state of the art modelling techniques to structure and enable quantitative measurement of management processes within MEs. Subsequent research of the author has conceived, implemented and case tested a modelling methodology that is designed to measure the Level of Application of Management Process (LAMP) in pursuit of ME productivity improvement. In order to achieve the aim of this research, a semi generic model of management processes deployed in MEs was defined and explicitly modelled by using an ISO Enterprise Modelling technique. The definition of this semi-generic model was realised consequent upon (1) a literature review and (2) conducting semi-structured interviews with experts (n=42) in three public sector MEs located in Pakistan. Use of the Enterprise Modelling technique enabled decomposition and classification of management processes into so called Domain Processes, which subsequently were explicitly defined as Business Processes at a more detailed level of modelling abstraction. Then during subsequent research the author conceived and developed the use of a methodology to apply a LAMP scorecard the use of which was tested whilst conducting structured interviews with project managers (n=25) in three public sector MEs located in Pakistan that operate on project oriented management structures. The case study results partially validated the fitness for purpose of the model driven measurement methodology, identified opportunities for future methodological research and illustrated how LAMP identified and enabled measurements can help to define, quantify and direct potential opportunities for ME enhancement.

Full textAbstract:
Although ERP systems have been depicted as a solution in many organizations, there are many negative reports on ERP success, benefits, and effect on user’s performance. Previous research noted that there is a lack of knowledge and awareness of ERP systems and their overall value to ERP organizations. ERP systems have been widely studied during the past decade, yet they often fail to deliver the intended benefits originally expected. One notable reason for their failures is the lack of understanding in users’ requirements. This dissertation study was designed to understand the relative importance of system quality (SQ), IQ (IQ), service quality (SVQ), and their influence on ERP users. The dependent variable individual impact (II) was used to represent the ERP success at the individual level of analysis. The research by Petter, DeLone, and McLean (2008) established the basis for this research. In addition, this study examined the moderating effect of users’ characteristics variables (age, gender, experience, and position) on the II variable. The study further compared the results of this research with Petter et al.’s (2008) research to test whether the overall findings of this research differ from their research. A web-based survey was used to collect data for this study. A number of ERP users from private and public sectors in the Middle East participated in this survey. The survey screening process provided 218 usable responses for further analysis. Using SPSS 23, the researcher determined the validity and reliability of the items. The result of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) via principal component analysis (PCA) loaded SQ items on four components, IQ on three components, SVQ on one component, and II on one component. Following the EFA results, the researcher investigated the items’ reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Hypothetical relationships were examined using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on the partial least squares (PLS) technique. The moderating effect was examined using the multigroup analysis (MGA) method. This dissertation study contributed to the body of knowledge by highlighting the importance of SQ, IQ, and SVQ in impacting ERP users’ learnability, awareness/recall, decision effectiveness, and individual productivity in an ERP environment. The results of this research can be used by ERP vendors to deliver an integrated and customized ERP system to organizations based on region. This research bridged the gap in the literature on the need to conduct more ERP research in the Middle East. Understanding the relative importance of information systems (IS) success factors brings the attention of ERP organizations and vendors to focus their efforts on the leading issues perceived by end users. Assessing the level of IS impact from multiple users may help organizations to offer all types of training to develop better attitudes toward ERP systems. Organizations can also build a rigorous approach to assess the impacts of IS on ERP users’ performance and productivity. As a result, this could help in improving productivity, learnability, awareness, and decision effectiveness of the end users.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable manufacturing is becoming increasingly important due to scarcity of natural resources, stricter regulations and increasing customer demand for sustainable products. Sustainable manufacturing involves the use of sustainable processes and systems to produce more sustainable products. In order to meet these demands for sustainable products, manufacturing companies have to adopt numerous strategies to achieve sustainable manufacturing. The approach for evaluating sustainable products and processes have been investigated in previous work where product/process sustainability indices were proposed. However, no comprehensive methods are available for sustainable manufacturing performance evaluation at the system level. This work aims to develop two alternate methods for evaluating sustainable manufacturing performance at enterprise, plant and production line levels. First, requirements for a sustainability metrics framework are identified through studying and reviewing existing literature where the three pillars of sustainability, total life-cycle stages, and 6R concepts are concurrently addressed. Then index-and value-based methods are proposed to evaluate sustainable manufacturing performance by conducting assessment on economic, environmental and societal aspects. Finally, the application of these two methods is illustrated for a representative enterprise producing consumer electronics at the enterprise level; a case study for a satellite television dish production is used to demonstrate the application of these methods at the production line level. Results obtained from these two methods are compared and analyzed at the enterprise level. The proposed methods can provide information to a company to identify improvement strategies and for decision making for sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
Civil organisations play a key intermediary role in the middle layer between high- level policies and individual-level outcomes in international development. By triangulating among seven Chinese HIV civil organisations with varying organisational models, I examine intermediary activity that illuminates the mechanisms by which civil organisations operate and extends theory about organisations and civil society. Development studies research can benefit from multi-level analyses of organisational processes, which provide insight into how civil organisations shape institutions and networks. My case studies show several new mechanisms that enable organisations to survive and operate in politically fraught conditions, and they offer insight into the complex interactions that allow civil organisations to operate in such contexts. First, HIV civil organisations manage associative stigma resultant from their core activities. I observe that market relationships can buffer against associative stigma transfer for organisations, with many leaders re-positioning their organisations relative to stigmatised individuals, recasting them as employees, customers, and users rather than constituents. Second, these groups use hybrid organising to better manage political risks and build partnerships through selective coupling of organisational components. Hybrid strategies can provide resilience to threats and improve resource management in institutionally plural environments. Third, HIV civil organisations engage in detached, informal, and interactive collaboration with state actors, enabling greater autonomy and innovation among civil actors and reducing risk for state actors. I trace interactions between these strategic activities at the levels of organisational activities, structures, and networks, finding that reproducing ambiguity can sustain new types of collaborations. These findings suggest a need to reconsider the role civil organisations play in society, calling attention to organisational processes that allow these actors agency in brokering flows of information and shaping formation of networks. By viewing civil organisations as intermediaries, new directions can be identified for development policy and practice.

However, the full continuum of care in the U.S. military for PTSD and related disorders is reported to be insufficient to meet the current and future needs of service members and their beneficiaries. The influence of external factors such as pre-traumatic risk factors and the availability of unit-level and enterprise-level resilience resources on eventual mental health outcomes have been previously considered individually, but not together in an enterprise-wide context. Although systems thinking has been applied to transform general health care systems in the United States and recommended for the military health system, there has been limited application of such ideas to the military health care system at large. This thesis expands on previous systems thinking work to transform health care systems in the United States by building a multi-level, dynamic model of the military psychological health enterprise from accession and deployment to future psychological health screening and treatment. The model demonstrates the relationships between stress, resilience and external unit-level and enterprise-level resources, and the influence of pre-traumatic risk factors, effectiveness of predeployment resilience resources and the availability of psychological health treatment in theater are evaluated using sensitivity analyses in order to formulate recommendations for upstream initiatives to improve downstream health outcomes. Increasing participation in pre-deployment resilience training and increasing unit support would have the largest effect on decreasing the number of service members predicted to develop symptoms of PTSD. Thus, it is recommended that the military consider fitting potential at-risk service members to resilience training, developing concurrent strategic short-term and long-term operational policymaking processes, and linking accession data to health outcomes to inform future psychological health policy creation.<br>by Judy Y.

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The consumerisation of mobile technology is driving the mobile revolution and
enterprises are forced to incorporate mobile solutions into their business processes
in order to remain competitive. While there are many benefits relating to the
investment in and use of mobile technology, significant risks are also being
introduced into the business. The fast pace of technological innovation and the rate
of adoption of mobile technology by employees has, however, created an
environment where enterprises are deploying mobile solutions on an ad hoc basis.
Enterprises are only addressing the risks as they are occurring and resulting in
losses. The key contributing factor to this lack of governance and management is the
fact that those charged with governance do not understand the underlying mobile
technology components.
The purpose of this research is to improve the understanding of the underlying
components of mobile technology. The research further proposes to use this
understanding to identify the significant risks related to mobile technology and to
formulate appropriate internal controls to address these risks. The findings of the
research identified the following underlying components of mobile technology: mobile
devices; mobile infrastructure, data delivery mechanisms and enabling technologies;
and mobile applications. Based on an understanding of the components and
subcategories of mobile technology, a control framework was used to identify the
significant risks related to each component and subcategory. The significant risks
identified included both risks to the users (including interoperability, user experience,
connectivity and IT support) as well as risks to the enterprise’s strategies (including
continuity, security, cost and data ownership). The research concludes by
formulating internal controls that the enterprise can implement to mitigate the
significant risks. This resulted in two matrixes that serve as quick-reference guides to
enterprises in the identification of significant risks at an enterprise specific mobile
technology component level, as well as the relevant internal controls to consider.
The matrixes also assist enterprises in determining the best mobile solutions to
deploy in their business, given their strategies, risk evaluation and control
environment.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die mobiele revolusie word deur die verbruiker van mobiele tegnologie aangedryf en,
ten einde kompeterend te bly, word ondernemings gedwing om mobiele tegnologie
in hul besigheidsprosesse te implementeer. Terwyl daar baie voordele verbonde is
aan die investering in en gebruik van mobiele tegnologie, word die besigheid egter
ook blootgestel aan wesenlike risiko’s. Die vinnige tempo waarteen mobiele
tegnologie ontwikkel en deur werknemers aangeneem word, het egter ʼn omgewing
geskep waarin ondernemings mobiele tegnologie op ʼn ad hoc basis ontplooi.
Besighede spreek eers die risiko’s aan nadat dit reeds voorgekom het en verliese as
gevolg gehad het. Die hoof bydraende faktor tot die tekort aan beheer en bestuur
van mobiele tegnologie is die feit dat diegene verantwoordelik vir beheer, nie
onderliggend mobiele tegnologie komponente verstaan nie.
Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om die begrip van die onderliggende komponente
van mobiele tegnologie te verbeter. Die navorsing poog verder om die wesenlike
risiko’s verbonde aan mobiele tegnologie te identifiseer en om toepaslike interne
beheermaatreëls te formuleer wat die risiko’s sal aanspreek. Die bevindinge van die
navorsing het die volgende onderliggende komponente van mobiele tegnologie
geïdentifiseer: mobiele toestelle; mobiele infrastruktuur, data afleweringsmeganismes,
en bemagtigende tegnologieë; en mobiele toepassings. Gebaseer op
ʼn begrip van die komponente en subkategorieë van mobiele tegnologie, is ʼn kontrole
raamwerk gebruik om die wesenlike risiko’s verbonde aan elke komponent en
subkategorie van die tegnologie, te identifiseer. Die wesenlike risiko’s sluit beide
risiko’s vir die gebruiker (insluitend kontinuïteit, gebruikerservaring, konnektiwiteit en
IT ondersteuning) sowel as risiko’s vir die onderneming se strategieë (insluitend
kontinuïteit, sekuriteit, koste en data eienaarskap) in. Die navorsing sluit af met die
formulering van die beheermaatreëls wat geïmplementeer kan word om die
wesenlike risiko’s aan te spreek. Dit het gelei tot twee tabelle wat as vinnige
verwysingsraamwerke deur ondernemings gebruik kan word in die identifisering van
wesenlike risiko’s op ʼn onderneming-spesifieke tegnologie komponentvlak asook die
oorweging van relevante interne beheermaatreëls. Die tabelle help ondernemings
ook om die beste mobiele tegnologie vir hul besigheid te implementeer, gebaseer op
hul strategie, risiko evaluering en beheeromgewing.

This dissertation explores the development of a human capital concept that is here referred to as "Âgreen footprint competence" among workers and members of organizations that position themselves as "Âgreen"ÂÂ, "Âorganic"ÂÂ, or "Âenvironmental solutions providers"ÂÂ. The research contributes to the studies of social and environmental change by analysing three aspects of this change: a) the institutionalisation of the global green and low-carbon discourses as values, norms, and discursive practices within organizations in Kyrgyzstan and China; b) the emergence of the green organizational identity; c) and the development of the new competences for the climate change adaptation and mitigation along with the "Âgreen identity" of workers and members of greening organizations. The key argument formed as a result of this research is that the development of standards for measuring and reporting of the Personal and Organizational consumption of Earth Resources (i.e.,. personal and organizational carbon and/or ecological footprints), requires a more democratic and inherently more participative approach through developing green competences of organizations workers.

Full textAbstract:
Cisco 2014 Annual Security Report clearly outlines the evolution of the threat landscape and the increase of the number of attacks. The UK government in 2012 recognised the cyber threat as Tier-1 threat since about 50 government departments have been either subjected to an attack or a direct threat from an attack. The cyberspace has become the platform of choice for businesses, schools, universities, colleges, hospitals and other sectors for business activities. One of the major problems identified by the Department of Homeland Security is the lack of clear security metrics. The recent cyber security breach of the US retail giant TARGET is a typical example that demonstrates the weaknesses of qualitative security, also considered by some security experts as fuzzy security. High, medium or low as measures of security levels do not give a quantitative representation of the network security level of a company. In this thesis, a method is developed to quantify the security risk level of known and unknown attacks in an enterprise network in an effort to solve this problem. The identified vulnerabilities in a case study of a UK based company are classified according to their severity risk levels using common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) and open web application security project (OWASP). Probability theory is applied against known attacks to create the security metrics and, detection and prevention method is suggested for company network against unknown attacks. Our security metrics are clear and repeatable that can be verified scientifically.

Different solutions have been used for each security aspects (access control, application security) to
secure enterprise web applications. However combining "<br>enterprise-level"<br>and "<br>application-level"<br>security aspects in one layer could give great benefits such as reusability, manageability, and
scalability. In this thesis, adding a new layer to n-tier web application architectures to provide a
common evaluation and enforcement environment for both enterprise-level and application level
policies to bring together access controlling with application-level security. Removing discrimination
between enterprise-level and application-level security policies improves manageability, reusability
and scalability of whole system. Resource Access Decision (RAD) specification has been
implemented and used as authentication mechanism for this layer. RAD service not only provides
encapsulating domain specific factors to give access decisions but also can form a solid base to apply
positive and negative security model to secure enterprise web applications. Proposed solution has
been used in a real life system and test results have been presented.

Full textAbstract:
Master Education - Med<br>Skills development is essential for every country to keep abreast with, at least one aspect of globalisation, namely, changes regarding production in the modern world. The way in which each country implements its skills development programme will depend on the unique history and circumstances of that country. Germany and Japan are amongst those countries that opted for a high skills strategy, whilst the United Kingdom opted for a low skills strategy. Kraak (2005) argues that South Africa would benefit by implementing a ‘multi-pronged’ skills strategy because many of its citizens are unskilled or have very low skills. This approach would cater for lowskills, intermediate-skills and continue to develop high skills. South Africa’s inputs-based education and training system has been replaced by a controversial outcomes-based approach. Many authors view an outcomes-based programme as lacking theory or content (Kraak, 1998; Young, 2004; Brown & Keep, 2000; Boreham, 2002), as reductive and mechanistic (Bates & Dutson, 1995, in Boreham, 2002) and mainly work-based and assessment-driven (Boreham, 2002). These criticisms question the quality of outcomes-based programmes. New laws promulgated by the South African government have introduced learnerships that form part of this new Skills Development strategy. This study reviewed the general policy on skills development and explored the experiences of learners who completed a Wholesale and Retail Learnership in the context of the structured college-based learning, the practical work-based learning as well as the integration of theory and practice, in South Africa. A qualitative approach was selected to enhance the researcher’s understanding of the personal perspectives and experiences of learners who completed the learnership. The case study approach was used with a focus on analysing the subjective opinions of this group of learners. The research methods employed to clarify the understanding of how these learners experienced the learnership were semi-structured interviews, observations and analysis of documents. The research shows that South Africa’s multi-level National Qualifications Framework provides for academic as well as vocational training and promotes a ‘multi-pronged’ skills strategy. The findings suggest that the learners on this learnership experienced the theoretical learning in the college and the practical learning on the job as an integrated whole. The study concludes that the structured college-based learning enabled the learners on this learnership to implement what they learnt at college in the workplace.<br>South Africa

Full textAbstract:
A Gestão de Riscos Corporativos (GRC) tem despertado interesse da academia desde a década de 1990, quando foi definida como uma administração abrangente e holística dos riscos empresariais, em contraste à Gestão Tradicional de Riscos que objetiva proteção. Desde então, a maior parte dos estudos empíricos disponíveis sobre a GRC pretenderam associá-la a desempenho ou eficiência e pouco há sobre sua relação com o processo de internacionalização de empresas. O menor foco da literatura sobre essa relação desperta atenção, uma vez que o processo de internacionalização implica na exposição a riscos inerentes às diversas geografias e frequentemente atípicos nos países de origem das empresas. Dessa forma, a GRC pode ser uma vantagem competitiva no processo de internacionalização. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação investigou a relação entre Grau de Internacionalização (GI) e Nível de Maturidade em Gestão de Riscos Corporativos (NMGRC) de empresas brasileiras. Para isso, utilizou-se de análise de conteúdo dos Formulários de Referência de 72 empresas listadas nos três níveis de governança corporativa da BM&F Bovespa no ano fiscal de 2013. Por meio da técnica estatística multivariada de Análise de Componentes Principais foram definidos três construtos para a composição do GI (Receita do Exterior, Recursos Físicos e Humanos no Exterior e Participação em Sociedades no Exterior) e três para NMGRC (Liderança na Gestão de Riscos, Suporte Externo para Gestão de Riscos e Prática de Gestão de Riscos). Os construtos então foram agrupados em um índice composto para NMGRC e GI, seguidos de propostas métricas aplicáveis a dados primários. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas de forma associativa, por meio de correlações, entre grupos, com a análise de quatro agrupamentos ordenados por GI; e de forma preditiva, com emprego de Regressão Logística Ordinal. Os resultados mostraram uma relação direta e proporcional entre o Nível de Maturidade em Gestão de Riscos Corporativos e o Grau de Internacionalização das empresas pesquisadas pelos três métodos de análise. Quanto ao efeito da GRC no GI, esta última teve maior relação com Liderança na Gestão de Riscos, seguida em importância por Prática de Gestão de Riscos. O construto Suporte Externo para Gestão de Riscos não foi conclusivo. Quanto ao efeito da internacionalização no NMGRC, a maior relação foi encontrada para Receita do Exterior, seguida de Recursos Físicos e Humanos no Exterior. O construto Participação em Sociedades no Exterior não foi conclusivo. Com esses resultados, esta dissertação encontrou indícios de que o engajamento da alta direção com a GRC pode trazer vantagem no atingimento dos objetivos de internacionalização das empresas brasileiras de capital aberto, principalmente quando as receitas do exterior aumentam ou há alocação de recursos físicos e humanos fora do país.<br>The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has been of academic interest since the 90´s when it was defined as a wider and holistic management of business risks, in contrast to the Traditional Risk Management practice, which intends to protection. Since then, the vast majority of available empirical researches on ERM aimed to associate it with performance and efficiency and scarce literature is found on its relationship with the internationalisation process. The absence of this connection draws attention as the internationalisation process involves the exposition of a firm to risks derived from the array of involved geographies, frequently unusual in its origin country. Then, the ERM is potentially a competitive advantage in the internationalisation process of a firm. This research investigated the relationship between the Degree of Internationalisation (DI) and the Maturity Level of Enterprise Risk Management (MLERM) thru empirical data. To meet this objective, a documental research on 72 listed companies in the three top tier corporate governance index of the Brazilian Stock Exchange was conducted. Data was extracted from the forms officially submitted to the government market authority in the fiscal year of 2013 by an extensive content analysis. Using the multivariate statistic method of Principal Component Analysis, three constructs were defined to DI (Revenues from Abroad, Physical and Human Resources Abroad and Interest in Societies Abroad) and three to MLERM (Leadership in Risk Management, External Support to Risk Management and Risk Management Practices). These constructs were then used to build composite indexes to MLERM and DI, followed by a proposition of counterpart indexes applicable to primary data. The statistical analysis were made in three ways: associative, with use of correlations; between groups, with the analysis of four clusters ranked by their DI; and predictive, with the use of Ordinal Logistic Regression. The results have shown a proportional and direct relation between the Maturity Level of Enterprise Risk Management and the Degree of Internationalization of researched companies by the three applied methods. As for the effect of ERM on ID, the later shown greater relation to Leadership in Risk Management, followed in importance by Risk Management Practices. The construct External Support to Risk Management was inconclusive. As for the effect of internationalization on MLERM, the greater relation was found to Revenues from Abroad, followed in importance by Physical and Human Resources Abroad. The construct Interest in Societies Abroad was inconclusive. With these results this research has found indications that the engagement of the higher directive board towards ERM may be an advantage in achieving the internationalization targets of Brazilian public companies, mainly when the revenues from abroad increase or there are human or physical resources invested out of the borders.

Full textAbstract:
During the last decade, firm-level entrepreneurship as an important phenomenon that may influence the corporate performance, attracted the attention of many researchers and a number of measurements were developed to gauge the entrepreneurial intensity at the firm level such as entrepreneurial orientation, corporate entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial management. EO and CE found more popularity and researchers employed them to investigate the phenomenon of firm-level entrepreneurship. Incrementally, a contradiction was emerged in the literature regarding the proper measurement of FLE. A number of studies recommended integrating EO and CE in a more comprehensive measurement to develop a deeper understanding of firms’ entrepreneurial intensity. In fact, EO and CE complement each other. While the former focuses on the proclivity of firms to have entrepreneurial behaviors and activities, the latter is the output- based construct and points out to the actual entrepreneurial actions such as innovation, venturing and strategic renewal. This study develops an integrative model of EO and CE to classify the companies in four different categories includes non-entrepreneurial, forced-entrepreneurial, latent-entrepreneurial, and actual entrepreneurial firms. The primary objective of the study is to investigate if the actual entrepreneurial firms show the higher degrees of internationalization or not. The research has performed in two different steps to confirm the integrative model and testify the research hypotheses. In the first step, the multi-case study approach is primarily applied to investigate if the model categorizes companies that are actually different or not. To conduct this step, four companies were selected that each one was the representative of a unique category of the model. Then deep interviews were performed to assess their behaviors on some especial characteristics, which were previously mentioned as the different characteristics of entrepreneurial versus non-entrepreneurial firms. To testify the research hypotheses, a questionnaire was designed that was included of questions, which were applied and validated by former studies.

Mestrado em Economia Internacional e Estudos Europeus<br>Hoje em dia, as empresas estatais, têm um importante papel no desenvolvimento da economia global. O crescimento exponencial das empresas estatais chinesas nos últimos anos surpreendeu o mundo. No entanto, existem algumas preocupações com estas empresas chinesas, nomeadamente na sua falta de transparência, devido sobretudo ao seu contexto obscuro. As suspeitas de que estas não operam justamente no mercado global são recorrentes, pois podem receber algum tipo de tratamento preferencial concedido pelo governo. Esta tese, tem como objetivo, tentar compreender melhor se as empresas estatais chinesas estão a operar em condições justas no mercado global. Com base em estudos anteriores, e a compreensão de disputas ocorridas desde 2002, na Organização Mundial do Comércio, concluímos que as mesmas não operaram justamente a tempo inteiro, mesmo sabendo que muitas investigações sobre estes casos não são conclusivas. Apenas quando houver mais clareza sobre a vida das empresas estatais chinesas, poderemos concluir verdadeiramente se existe alguma ameaça real ao equilíbrio neste setor comparativamente à concorrência justa do mercado global.<br>Nowadays, state-owned enterprises are playing a considerable role in the global economic development. The spectacular growth of Chinese SOEs in the last two decades has specially shocked the whole world. However, there are also concerns for the global market due to their murky background. It is always suspected that they are not operating on a level playing field because they might receive some preferential treatment from the government. The purpose of this paper is to study whether Chinese SOEs are operating on a level playing field in the global market. Based on previous studies about Chinese SOEs and the case study about dispute cases involving Chinese SOE at the World Trade Organization since 2002 until now, we conclude that Chinese SOEs may not be operating on a level playing field all the time, even if the dispute cases analyzed are not always conclusive. Only when there is more sunshine over Chinese SOEs could we see better if there is any real threats from Chinese SOE sector to the fair competition in the global market.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
