Full textAbstract:
The case study examines the process of change undergone by the McGill Institute for Learning in Retirement (McGill ILR), a volunteered organization. ILRs have emerged across North America in the past 15 years and their success is attributed to the congenial participatory learning environment and the fact that members volunteer to administer the program activities in collaboration with a host university.<br>Four years after it was founded, leaders sensed the need to evaluate McGill ILR's strengths and weaknesses. Under the aegis of McGill Centre for Continuing Education, a Planning Committee designed and implemented an organizational self-assessment to provide recommendations for change and ensure sustainability.<br>The study revealed: (a) that this community of older adults taught themselves how to respond to change effectively and (b) that the overarching characteristics of an ILR, together with a spirit of dialogue, provided an organizational structure which helped volunteers absorb change.

Full textAbstract:
The general hypotheses is that the Institute for European Defence and Strategic Studies (IEDSS) was not an impartial independent think tank, but that it was part of large scale US public diplomacy and propaganda strategies to influence UK domestic politics, funded by the Central Intelligence Agency and a small group of foundations. This is identified through a focus on think tanks and organisations that aimed to extend the Cold War and, at its close, to further the interests of US capital with the expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe aided by organisations such as the National Endowment for Democracy. The IEDSS' 'Atlanticist' dimension, including its connections to the Heritage Foundation, reveal it as integrated with other US, UK and European covert networks as part of a 'cultural apparatus which stemmed from post-war projections of US power into Europe, and included organisation such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom or Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. In the late 1970s this extended into a network of UK think tanks modelled on and shaped by the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and state intelligence agencies and their proxies. The thesis also identifies the IEDSS as a gathering of actors involved in an ideologically driven sub-culture that influenced the Reagan and Thatcher governments that gathered together other quasi-official anti-left groups such as the Information Research Department and parapolitical organisations typified by the Institute for the Study of Conflict and other organisations run by Brian Crozier, a key actor in this story.

The objective of the dissertation is to examine Young-Jo Lee's (b. 1943) musical language as exhibited in his piano composition, Variations on the theme of Baugogae. Subjects of discussion include Lee's use of direct and indirect musical borrowings from past European composers and traditional Korean folk idioms. Also included are a biographical sketch of the composer and historical overview of modern Korean composers. This dissertation investigates Lee's effort to synthesize traditional Korean music and Western music in one art form and ultimately, to create his own musical language.

Yeh, Eluen Ann. "Comprehensive care : shaping the moral order in a Japanese institute for the treatment of epilepsy." Thesis, McGill University, 1992. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=22504.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about how medical knowledge is constructed by staff for patients and their families in a Japanese 'comprehensive care' facility for the treatment of epilepsy (the JEC). The thesis sets out to explain the possible reasons for differences between the number of surgeries of epilepsy performed at the JEC and the number performed in a Canadian institute. I will argue in the thesis that the fundamental difference between the two institutes lies in cross cultural and cross institutional differences in the uses and interpretations of the polysemic phrases 'comprehensive care' and 'quality of life'. They are ideological constructs embedded in a social process of knowledge production. Uncritical acceptance of these institutional objectives has significant ideological consequences in that it (1) justifies the unequal distribution of services, (2) legitimates the treatment program's objectives, and (3) masks the social relations out of which authoritative knowledge about epilepsy at the JEC is produced.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploratory study of the factors that account for the construction of a local social world around a frontier medical technology. The analysis is based on participant-centred accounts of the structuring of a PET world in the MNI&H. According to local actors, the following factors can be identified to have played a role in the birth, promotion, structuring, and maintenance of the local PET world: the personalities; the institution; the resulting tradition; the assessment of PET; the sense of quality; the size of the local PET world and of the institution; elements of the environment such as cost, finding sources, and manufacturers. The data show that the structuration of the PET world in this elitist research cum hospital institution cannot serve as a model for the diffusion of this frontier technology, although the demarcated pattern exhibits some characteristics common with those described in the literature for similar innovations.

Wang, Kai. "Interdisciplinary research as collective interaction : an investigation of interdisciplinarity in the R&D sector of China's biotechnology industry." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/4106.
Full textAbstract:
As China has celebrated its economic boom over the past decades, scientific research within the R&D sector of industry has become an active arena for Science and Technology Studies (STS) in understanding how science contributes to social change in China. Two themes are central in this sociological work: the study of secular change in China, in particular, change in its biotech industries exemplified by work in the BGI (formerly known as Beijing Genomics Institute); the investigation of interdisciplinarity in that context. This research sheds new light on explanatory practice in interdisciplinary research (IDR) strategy as patterns of interaction in the social process of scientific knowledge production, and its contribution also includes bridging the sociology of scientific knowledge production and research policy studies. In this thesis, I examine a number of topics at three interrelated levels of analysis. First, it explores the theoretical development of the academic discipline and the notion of interdisciplinarity, with a focus on the balance of normative and descriptive approaches in understanding their social functionality as embodied by what I name as Paradiscipline (the initial stage of IDR project). The second level investigates closely how IDR patterns emerge and evolve in the sequencing-based industrial R&D practice in the case of the BGI. Social, cultural, and institutional factors directing and conditioning collective actions by status groups within interaction network are carefully weighed against the context that scientific expertise speak to power in China's social setting. The last level is dedicated to yield more pervasive implications including the organizational structure of interaction and modelling of scientific research, via comparative analysis of traditional S&T management and governing 'Big Science'. It further addresses the issues around on-site governance of China's biotechnology industry R&D, at both management practice and policy making levels, on the basis of social embedment.

Full textAbstract:
Marianopolis College evolved from a small classical college for Roman Catholic women to a CEGEP-level co-educational and multi-confessional institution. This case study analyses the administrative decision-making that guided the college during three pivotal events in its history. Four aspects of decision-making theory are considered: style, constraints, strategies, and kinds. The major question this case study addresses is: What were the decision-making practices that guided the evolution of Marianopolis College from a Roman Catholic classical college for women to a private coeducational and multi-confessional CEGEP-level college? A secondary question is: To what extent can the decision-making practices adopted to cope with change be supported by models of decision-making theory? The major finding of this study is that at the three pivotal points in the college's history the decision-making strategies depended on environmental and organizational constraints, especially the founding purpose of the institution.

Full textAbstract:
I believe an individual can be profiled by their color preferences, but not indefinitely, for a shorter period of time, a 24-hour period of time. A person's state of mind will change continually based on their experiences. These experiences will affect their perception and preference of color. I developed a model that will map an individual's profile, a portrait, through color. Participants are given a worksheet and a list of terms describing personality traits and states of mind. The worksheet is categorized by event, time of day, duration, impact, and summed term. From midnight to midnight, a 24-hour period, the participant records any event that they encounter providing information-fulfilling categories stated above. I use that information to then map out their portrait of 24-hours through color.

Full textAbstract:
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) assigns efficiency values to decision making units (DMU) in a given period by comparing the outputs with the inputs. In many applications, inputs and outputs of DMUs are monitored over time. There might be a time lag between the consumption of inputs and production of outputs. We develop approaches that aim to capture the time lag between the outputs and the inputs in assigning the efficiency values to DMUs. We present computational results on randomly generated problems as well as on an application to R&<br>D institutes of the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜ<br>BiTAK).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses three issues raised by the application of the general principles of law to commercial arbitration. First, it is essential to assess the core and the substance of the general principles of law. Our first hypothesis purports that the UPICC reduces considerably the uncertainty of the general principles of law in international trade. Secondly, an analysis of the nature of the UPICC is needed, in order to determine whether they have the essential features of a transnational norm and can thus escape the application of national legal norms. We will thus analyse the existing mechanisms to assure the autonomy, of PUCCI, from national law. Thirdly, we will analyse the legitimacy of the UPICC. In doing so, we shall refer to the concept of reflexive legimitacy, a legitimacy obtained through the consensus of the merchant community. This reflexive legitimacy over the UPICC is generally admitted. Two rules within the UPICC, however, raise doubts and concerns over their acceptability in the merchants' community: the hardship and the gross disparity provisions. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Using Kinder zhurnal, an American Yiddish children's literary magazine, as the focus for this thesis, the intimate relationships between the Yiddish cultural movement which began in East Europe and the Yiddish secular school movement in America are explored. As a product of and for the Sholom Aleichem Folk Institute, a now defunct educational organization, Kinder zhurnal demonstrated the key philosophical tenets of the Yiddishist education movement as it evolved.<br>In an analysis of the Yiddishist philosophy of education parallels are drawn between modern Yiddish secular education and that of John Dewey in their humanistic emphasis and underlying pragmatism. Utilizing the parameters of the Yiddishist/Deweyian theory, an assessment to determine the practical viability of the Yiddishist concepts is made. Kinder zhurnal, as representative of Yiddishist philosophy and educational methodology, provides the microcosmic source for much of this discussion. Its close affiliation with the unique educational philosophy of the Sholom Aleichem Folk Institute provides the opportunity to examine the educational implications of teaching Yiddish as part of Jewish education.

Previous issue date: 2011-02-07<br>Fundo Mackenzie de Pesquisa<br>This study examines how the organizational structure, mechanical or organic, and guidelines for exploitation and exploration of organizational knowledge can explain the innovations in technology research and development institutes (R & D),focused on products and services related to the Internet, software, hardware, telecommunications (Telecom), information technology (IT) and automation. This study aims to characterize and classify these institutes, according to the models and guidelines adopted at the organizational knowledge. For this, the research has two phases: the first one, a qualitative phase and the second a quantitative phase. The qualitative phase used a semistructured script in four case studies, two cases of national institutes, one private institute and the other a public one, and two private multinational institutes situated in Brazil. For data analysis, we adopt the content analysis, analysis of the dimensions and non-participant observation. Based on the findings of this phase, we carried out the quantitative phase, through the application of a questionnaire to the whole population of 44 R & D institutes, however, only 17 of those institutes respondend. This questionnaire is structured with closed question, and it had incorporated a set of assertions measures, using a Likert scale with seven points. Thie analysis presented is descriptive and it was supplemented with secondary data, by searching the website of these 17 institutes. Therefore, the analysis adopted the technique of data triangulation in order to obtain more reliable results. The results revealed a predominance of organic model in 19 of 21 of the institutes studied, using both steps. However, it appears that, despite the strong orientation towards the organic model, there are elements of the mechanical model: the ability to combine bureaucracy without loosing the necessary flexibility. Two of the institutes have not demonstrated the mechanical configuration combining ability, i.e., the base is the bureaucracy, standardization, formalization and specialization. Whereas guidelines for exploitation and exploration is possible to identify and conclude that the institutes tend to have guidelines for exploration, however, some institutes show focus on exploitation, such as the relative efficiency of the processes and standard work routines. Of the four propositions for this stage of the research institutes in 14 were confirmed and ratified the findings of the qualitative phase. Regarding the classification of the 21 institutes surveyed, it can be stated that the focus is mainly on services and products. With regard to the vocation of the institutes, eleven reveal themselves facing R & D and radical innovations and incremental. However, for nine of these institutes it is possible to affirm that the vocation is D, development. The contribution of this thesis for the academic point of view, reveals that when discussing the role of models of organizational structures and guidelines for exploration and exploitation in search of possible lag between theory and application. The contribution for the business standpoint is that to understand how these factors are fundamental to the development of innovation and competitiveness. It is assumed that these factors may have implications on the performance and the economic viability of the R & D Institutes, since innovation is its business.<br>Este estudo examina como a estrutura organizacional, mecânica ou orgânica, e as orientações para exploitation e exploration do conhecimento organizacional podem explicar as inovações em institutos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D) tecnológicos concentrados em serviços e produtos ligados à internet, software, hardware, telecomunicações (Telecom), tecnologia da informação (TI) e automação. Tem como objetivo caracterizar e classificar esses institutos, de acordo com os modelos e as orientações relativas ao conhecimento organizacional adotados. Para tanto, a pesquisa apresenta duas etapas: qualitativa e quantitativa. A etapa qualitativa foi conduzida com a utilização de quatro estudos de casos, sendo dois institutos nacionais, um privado e um público, e mais dois privados estrangeiros sediados no Brasil, mediante a utilização de um roteiro semiestruturado. Para análise dos dados, adota-se a análise de conteúdo, análise das dimensões e observação não-participante. Com base nos achados desta fase, realizou-se a etapa quantitativa, por meio da aplicação de um questionário em 17 institutos de P&D, cujo universo era de 44. Este questionário está estruturado fechado e incorporava um conjunto de assertivas mensuradas, segundo uma escala tipo Likert, com sete pontos. Esta análise é descritiva e complementada com dados secundários, por meio da pesquisa nos website dos institutos. Neste sentido, para as análises, é adotada a técnica da triangulação dos dados, visando à obtenção de maior fidedignidade nos resultados. Os resultados revelaram predominância do modelo orgânico em 19 de 21 dos institutos estudados, compreendendo as duas etapas. Contudo, verifica-se também que, apesar da forte orientação para o modelo orgânico, há elementos do modelo mecânico: revelam capacidade combinatória em utilizar a burocracia sem, no entanto, deixar de ser flexível. Dois dos institutos apresentam a configuração mecânica não demonstrando capacidade de combinação, isto é, a base é a burocracia, a padronização, a formalização e a especialização. Considerando as orientações para exploitation e exploration é possivel identificar e concluir que os institutos tendem a ter orientações para exploration, mas apresentam focos em exploitation, como é o caso de eficiência relativa aos processos e às rotinas de trabalho padronizados. As quatro proposições levantadas para esta etapa da pesquisa, foram confirmadas em 14 institutos e ratificadas nos achados da etapa qualitativa. Quanto à classificação dos 21 institutos pesquisados, pode-se afirmar que o foco de atuação é predominantemente em serviços e produtos. No que diz respeito à vocação dos institutos, onze se revelam voltados para P&D com inovações radicais e incrementais. Entretanto, em nove destes casos é possivel afirmar que a vocação é D, desenvolvimento. A contribuição desta tese se revela, do ponto de vista acadêmico, na discussão do papel dos modelos de estruturas organizacionais e de orientações para exploitation e exploration na busca de possíveis lacunas entre a teoria e a aplicação: do ponto de vista empresarial, destina-se ao entendimento de como esses fatores são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da inovação e da competitividade. Supõe-se que estes possam ter implicações no desempenho e na viabilidade econômica dos Institutos de P&D, uma vez que inovação é o seu negócio.

Full textAbstract:
La période 1960 – 1990 a été agitée et féconde aux États-Unis malgré l’échec du projet de Grande Société et de lutte contre la pauvreté du président L.B. Johnson. L’Amérique a profité des retombées de sa domination économique et militaire pour financer l’éducation, le logement (G.I. Bill) ainsi que les arts (N.E.A.). De 1960 à 1990 la photographie est entrée massivement à l’université, dans les musées et dans le marché de l’art. Le paysage a toujours été un genre artistique privilégié aux États-Unis, de la peinture du dix-neuvième siècle à la photographie depuis son invention qui coïncide avec la découvertes de nouveaux territoires qui crée le pays. Le médium a documenté le développement territorial du pays puis s’est affirmé sur la scène de la photographie créative occidentale. Les années considérées vont voir la photographie créative américaine passer d’une période « romantique » tournée vers l’abstraction et le monde intérieur de l’artiste, conséquence des persécutions politiques de l’immédiat après-guerre, vers une réflexion ontologique et expérimentale, pour finalement traiter de problèmes de société tout en restant connectée aux réflexions esthétiques et philosophiques communes aux autres arts. Au sortir des années 1980, la photographie américaine de paysage, celle des grands espaces mais également celle des espaces humanisés, urbanisés, domine la scène internationale inspirant un renouveau du genre en Europe, au Canada, au Japon,…. Lancé par une exposition alors jugée mineure en 1975, le phénomène New Topographics est devenu planétaire et perdure. Ces quinze dernières années, de nombreuses expositions des paysagistes américains de cette période ont circulé à travers le monde, phénomène révélateur de leur rôle dans notre culture occidentalo – planétaire ainsi que pour l’histoire du médium<br>During the 1960 – 1990 period, in spite of the psychological and economical fall-outs of the various wars (Cold War, Korea and Vietnam ) undermining L.B. Johnson’s hopes and plans for a Great Society and his War on Poverty, the American government used its world supremacy and the derived wealth acquired in the wake of W.W. II (the USA was the only western country whose industrial production was impacted positively) to finance popular housing, adult education (G.I. Bill), and the arts (N.E.A.). During those years photography crashed the doors of academia, museum and art institutions, and entered the art market. Landscape has always been a major genre in the American visual arts, from the paintings of the nineteenth century (the Hudson River School, the Luminists) to photography. An interesting synchronicity can be observed between the birth, growth and coming of age of both the medium and the country. Landscape photography participated in the creation of an American identity. A century later, during what we can now call the Golden Age of American landscape photography from New Topographics in the 1970s to the advent of color photography in the 1980s, photographers turned their lenses back toward the east at the damage done and the state of the landscape left behind. The production of wall-size prints followed, competing for attention with paintings on the walls of museums and galleries that welcome them. Since the Culture Wars of the late 1980s and the 1990s, and the defunding of the arts that ensued, the rest of the world has caught up, influenced by the traveling exhibitions and publications of that generation of American photographers

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>生物科學系研究所<br>93<br>Many ecologists are struggling to quantify the species richness in a particular landscape or region. The number of species increases with sample area. Species-area relationship is often used to estimate species richness of a particular region. This study used species-log (area) curves, corrected with Jaccard’s coefficients for within-vegetation type heterogeneity, to estimate species richness and to describe vascular plant species composition in Taiwan Forestry research Institute Tai-Ma-Lee Experimental Forest.
In the study area, the author recorded 748 plant species, including 98 endemic species, 21 rare species and 36 naturalized species.
There are estimation of 701 species (95％ CI＝651~758 species) in the 583-ha natural forest area, 819 species (95％ CI＝744~889 species) in the 291-ha plantation area, 560 species (95％ CI＝508~641 species) in 8.1-ha forest road. As plantation area is not well-sampled, the total species number in the 947-ha study area could not be estimated. When use 0.1 Modified-Whittaker sampling techniques to assess plant diversity, it is possible to use elevation division, instead of vegetation type, to estimate species richness.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>人力資源管理研究所碩士在職專班<br>94<br>In today’s knowledge-based economy, traditional enterprises relying on land, labor and capital are being replaced by knowledge-creating enterprises based on knowledge capital. Knowledge-creating enterprises have become primary sources of competitiveness for Taiwan in particular, but there are relatively few studies on the competences needed by R&D personnel. Thus, this empirical study explores the required competences for outstanding R&D Professionals and discusses how the results can be applied to human resources practices such as selection, training, development and performance management, in order to increase the overall competitiveness of knowledge-creating organizations.
The research sample targets an R&D institute in Taiwan. Data is collected through literature surveys, structured interviews, questionnaires, and discussions with managers of the R&D institute as well as from external consultants including HR professionals and academics. From this data a competency research model is built, and ten core competences are identified. Furthermore, pre-test and formal test are carried out through sociological statistical analysis method. Accordingly, confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis using Principal Components Analysis are carried out to extract common factors. After data analysis, four competences are found to be significantly and positively related to job performance (p<0.01): innovation and excellence, planning and analysis, teamwork operations and continuous learning. The item analysis shows a significant level, Cronbach’s Alpha for these four dimensions of competence ranging from 0.87 to 0.93.
Finally, hierarchical regression analysis is used to explore the effects of age, education level, seniority, and competences on job performance. Age, education level and seniority are found to have no significant effect on job performance, but the competences do have a significant effect. The findings indicate that the competences can effectively predict the job performance, implying that people with higher competences have higher job performance. Thus it is suggested that the competence model can be applied in the practices of human resource management to upgrade the competitiveness of organizations.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立交通大學<br>經營管理研究所<br>89<br>Because of imperfect market for technology, insufficient innovation, and needs for development, many governments, including developed and developing countries, attempt influencing industrial technology by technology policy to assist domestic industries maintaining and elevating their competitiveness. Government-funded research institutes (GFRI), aiming to develop industrial technology directly, play an important role in technology policy. Constrained by expanding technology activities and shrinking public budget, performance evaluation of R&D project of GFRI is increasingly demanded. To evaluate effectively the performance of R&D project, many models conforming to the property of R&D project are elaborated. However, with the complexity of R&D project, evaluation would be faced with a lot of problems, and so many evaluation activities and models would not be properly justified.
By literature review, this study explores the meanings of performance evaluation, and infers that evaluation activity contains five elements: entity evaluated, measurement criteria, measurement activity, judgement criteria, and judgement activity. Thence, complicated problems facing performance evaluation could be clarified by inducing all the problems to three categories: problems of entity evaluated, problems of measurement, and problems of judgement. Furthermore, to elucidate the performance evaluation of GFRI, all the three kinds of problems should be paralleled with characteristics of GFRI.
Performance evaluation models in literatures are developed to solve the predicament of performance evaluation. In spite of the fact that each model is distinct from each other in connotation and purpose, some common properties could be deduced. That is, R&D activity could be divided into five stages: input, operation, output, diffusion, and effect. For practical usage, performance evaluation models, being conceptual ones, should be adjusted to characteristics of entity evaluated. To apply effectively the concept of evaluation model for GFRI evaluation, our study associates performance evaluation model with characteristics of GFRI.
After inducing the recipe of performance evaluation from problems facing performance evaluation and accommodating the recipe to performance evaluation model associated with characteristics of GFRI, we conclude a multidimensional evaluation method by adjusting performance dimension according to evaluation purpose.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立交通大學<br>科技管理研究所<br>105<br>This study proposes an R&D technology roadmapping (TRM) process, which consists of four phases: Identification of Strategic Areas, Technology Assessment and Selection, Technology Portfolio Planning (TPP) and Generation of Development Plan. The first phase was to use the STEEP (Social, Technology, Economic, Ecological, Political)/SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) tool to find five Strategic Areas (SA) for a research organization. The second phase was to decompose the five strategic areas into 101 technology items through literature survey and industry consultation. A fuzzy Delphi method was utilized to select 34 items which have reached the consensus from industrial experts based on two major factors: (a) future potential; (b) Taiwan advantage. The third phase was to employ strategy map in TPP model to cluster the technology items located in the medium-risk and medium-impact zone, which were considered as the potential topics to establish the main streams of KTDP “Advanced Functional Fibers and Textiles” for the institute. The last phase was to draw up a TRM framework along the timeframe, adopting Phaal T-Plan tool, to link market needs, product functions, and technology solutions for the program. Furthermore, the TRL adopted from NASA, were used to find their Critical Technology Elements (CTEs) and TRLs of the technology elements, where the research efforts should be dedicated to and the research resources should be allocated. Thus, a technology maturity plan (TMP) should be put forward to solve the problems of key technological gaps that CTEs have been identified. A case study was applied at the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) to validate the process by aligning with their strategic goal, and a comprehensive R&D planning roadmap suitable for the TTRI was presented from 2017 to 2020.

碩士<br>中原大學<br>企業管理研究所<br>95<br>Facing with the age of the emergence of globalization, information technology, Internet and knowledge-based economy, the involvement in technological research and development has become the major indicator for driving the national economic growth and is also the lifeline of sustainable development of industries. Various countries in the world also recognize that the basic national policy is innovative technology and autonomous technology. Importance is placed on the effect of technological development and extensive financial resources, material resource and manpower are put into the national defense technology domain continuously. In addition, the main national resource is put into the technological research and development hoping that this can be helpful in enhancing the national economic growth.
Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology “CSIST”, a national defense research and development organization, strives for the research and development of the national defense industry in long term and strides across multiple domains. However, in order to cope with the international political situation and to consider the present stage of national defense arms procurement and as the financial deficit of our country is expanding day by day resulting in more shrinkage in the budgets of various departments of our government, the result is the technological research and development resource is being edged out. At present CSIST is facing the organization transformation and the pressure from the change in the internal and external environment and CSIST is encountering serious challenge. Organizational change will result in discomfort and opposition from personnel and this will further affect the overall operation and performance of the organization. It is hoped that with this research and analysis, the key factors for enhancing the performance of the national defense research and development organization can be found so that such organization can stride towards the goal of sustainable operation.
Through collective arrangement of relevant documents and the suggestions of relevant professional personnel integrated using Delphi Method, a decision-making hierarchy structure is established to enhance the performance of the national defense organization. This includes four large aspects:”Human Resource”,”Research And Development Result”,”Organization Innovation”,”Learning And Growth” and eighteen standards. Aiming at the three groups including level 1 principal and deputy in-charge and level 2 principal and deputy in-charge and relevant managing and handling person, the Analytical Hierarchy Process “AHP” is utilized to analyze the aspects of enhancing the organization performance by different group and the corresponding level of emphasis on the evaluation criteria and also the degree of common consensus is analyzed. This is to seek for a point of balance that can be provided to decision maker as reference. In addition, evaluation on the performance value of four feasible plans including:”Organization Structure Adjustment”,”Manpower Structure Adjustment”,”Intensified Rotational Transfer System”,”Establishment of Personnel Management System” is conducted based on Fuzzy Theory and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution “TOPSIS”.
The research results shows that the aspect mostly emphasized by level 1 principal and deputy in-charge group is “Manpower Resource”because members of this group are decision makers. The first and most important consideration for them is how to effectively improve the utilization of human resource so that it can bring the maximum effect into full play. The mostly emphasized aspect for level 2 principal and deputy in-charge is“Organization Innovation”. Members of this group have good opportunity to become a high level in-charge in the future and therefore the most emphasized factor for them is how to enable the organization to continue to innovate and to adapt to the changing environment. The aspect that is mostly emphasized by the managing and handling person is the“Research and Development Result”. This is because whether the result of the research and development is successful or not will affect the work performance of the basic level personnel. Therefore this group emphasizes this aspect most. In respect of plan appraisal, the level 1 principal and deputy in-charge mostly prefers the“Manpower Structure Adjustment” plan; the level 2 principal and deputy in-charge mostly prefers the“Intensified Rotational Transfer System” plan and the managing and handling person mostly prefers the“Organization Structure Adjustment” plan.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>立德大學<br>科技管理研究所<br>98<br>The science and technology development strategy has great influences on the success of an R&D institution. Establishing an effective science and technology development strategy is critical for an R&D institution to not only lead the industry forward but also allocate its time and resource efficiently.This study attempts to define a process to establish an effective science and technology development strategy. The first step is to use the PEST analysis to identify the external opportunities and risks as well as the strength and weakness of the R&D institution.The second step is to perform SWOT analysis and use the result to narrow down a few proposals. Lastly, the proposals are sorted by The analytic hierarchy process. The process defined by the study provides a clean and effective way for R&D institutions to establish their science and technology development strategies.This process can be further deployed by the government's supervisory division on allocating R&D resources nationally.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>企業管理學系<br>85<br>Recently the government and the popular emphasized on R&D activities.They embark a large expenditure on R&D activities. They have the same goal that is getting a better R&D effect. R&D is a incentive of ecomomic development and social progress today. Many countries make R&D activities as an important topic in their government''s policies.
This paper focuses on ten R&D sectors of the Industrial Technology Research Institute(ITRI), and they have their positions and tasks. This paper uses data envelopment analysis(DEA)which is a systematic, proper, objective method to evaluate efficiency of R&D sectors. BY using DEA, we can obtain results to realize these R&D sectors'' efficiency, find a gap between practical state and desired goal to adjust these efficiency. Through this efficiency evaluation, let ITRI''s R&D efficiency be improved.
This paper has some findings:
1. In the technical efficiency''s analysis: In the evaluated R & D sectors, efficient unit and non-efficient units are the same rate.
2.In the dummy multiplier''s analysis: Overall, the importance of patent rights is better than the importance of technologic innovation and transfer.
3.In the slack variable analysis:Through the slack variables, we could realize a improved way in the future. Values of the slack variables represent a amount of decreasing inputs or increasing outputs in nonefficient units. This information can realize a thing where does a improved space does have.
4.In the pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency analysis : On the whole evaluated units is a non-technical efficiency sector because of more scale efficiency, less pure technical efficiency. In this R&D sectors, eight units are located in the scale returns to increasing, and tow units are located in the scale returns to decreasing.
5.In the Andersen & Petersen model : Through this model, we can realize their reference sets and ranks in efficient unit. This order is Electronics Research & Service Organization, Union Chemical Laboratories, Computer & Communication Research Laboratory, Center for Measurement Standards, Mechanical Industrial Research Laboratories.
6.In the sensitive analysis : In this analysis, we can realizea variation of efficiency scores when variables are deleted. In the overall, the primal efficiency scores is larger than the changed efficiency scores.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>元智大學<br>工業工程研究所<br>88<br>In order to have a high economic and social development, both public and private sectors need to continuously allocate resources on basic and applied research. However, as we know, the performance of R&D is hard to evaluate, because its impact often takes a long time. Instead of measuring the results of R&D directly as indicated in the past literature, we tried to use the concepts and the tools of Just-In-Time (JIT) to design a R&D project management system.
In this study, we not only propose a framework but also have a system design of R&D project management by using the concepts of pull and seamless system of JIT. Particularly, we use many tools of JIT in the stage of system design, such as, the free-quality-inspection, color management, 5S management, etc. In order to make sure the feasibility of the proposed system, we conduct a case study by using the project management of the R&D institute of an electricity power plant. The results reveal that less paper work and less time are needed. We have a further discussion in the following regarding to the results of this case study.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>企業管理研究所<br>94<br>The Dual-Use Technology Industrial Cooperation and Development Program is to utilize available defense technological capabilities and experiences effectively to help the domestic industries upgrade their products, explore both domestic and global markets, and enhance international competency. After the Two Defense Acts enacted and enforced, ‘Regulation of Technological /Industrial Organizations of MND Undertaking R&D, Manufacturing and Maintenance Activities’, ‘Regulation of Technological/Industrial Organizations of MND Marketing Affairs’, and ‘Regulation MND’ are created in accordance with the 22nd article of National Defense Act. To comply with the national policy, the CSIST planed to combine the defense technology with Technology Development Program of MEA. The CSIST has established the materiel outsourcing mechanism, standard operation procedures and regulations to integrate its defense technologies and capabilities to realize the national policy on materiel outsourcing.
Due to that the financial deficit keeps growing in recent years, government agencies’ budget shrinks year after year, which squeezes the science and technology R&D resources, technology research in MND and Technology Development Program in MEA, for instance. How to fight for more funding under the limited resources condition is the main issue to be investigated in this research. After surveying all the references from related subjects and studying the theoretical basis from academic reports, combing with the characteristics of The Dual-Use Technology Industrial Cooperation and Development Program in CSIST, there are four hierarchies can be finalized: environmental factor, organizational factor, technical factor and personality; And fourteen evaluation criteria are further derived from consideration of the suitability of each factors. These are used to build up an analytical model, and then design a survey form with the management level officers and staffs being the surveying object. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the individual weight of each factor in decision-making process.
Among the important factors which are thought to affect the Dual-Use Technology Industrial Cooperation and Development Program performance, the research result shows that ‘organizational factor’ was chosen by most people, a consensus between different group; ‘environmental factor’ next, ‘technical factor’ the third, and ‘personality’ is not as important as the others. The three most important evaluation criteria are expertise and innovative capability, support from management level, and industrial requirements, which show a consensus of opinion. Being at different positions, management officers often have to face industry sectors directly to fight for projects and funds, thinking ‘industrial requirements’ the most important factor, and staffs are responsible for achieving project goals and carrying out missions under command, thinking ‘support from management level’ the most important factor. In respect to the overall performance evaluation, unit E was the best, a certain level of consensus; other units have to improve in individual weakness measured by performance evaluation criteria.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國防管理學院<br>後勤管理研究所<br>92<br>Earned Value Management (EVM) provides a method to evaluate organization performance by using the management skill of project management to integrate cost, schedule and quality of works. Nowadays, EVM has been effectively implemented in major project management among U.S., U.K, Canada, Sweden, Australia, Japan, and some developed countries and has been recognized as one of the best tools for project management.
Past researches of EVM are mostly focused on “application methodology” and “procedure of implementation,” however, the researches of “appropriate users” and “organization culture” for EVM are seldom found. Besides, we also need to practically consider the properties of projects as well as the accounting system in an organization.
In my research, I use the triangulation method through referring the trials of implement of EVM performance evaluation method in Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) , surveying the EVM model developed by Eun Hong Kim, and, then , investigating 111 project managers by using questionnaires. The result shows that applying EVM of project management in Taiwan is still not popular. The conditions needed for implementation of EVM include the characteristics of organization, budget system, skills of project management, incentives, and information technology.
