This thesis focuses on the identification of experience required for solving IT (Information Technology) problems in small to medium sized enterprises. It is aimed to utilize information retrieval and data mining techniques to automatically extract information from publicly available experience data on the internet to automatically generate a knowledgebase for dynamic IT management support. In this thesis, similarity distance measures as Jaccard Index, Cosine Similarity Measure and clustering algorithms as K-Means, EM, DBScan, CES, CES+ are employed on three different datasets to evaluate their performances. CES+ algorithm gives the highest performance results in these evaluations. Moreover, Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is used and is evaluated on three different data sets to aid the usage of CES+ in real life senarios by a...

One of the most critical issues for building innovation capacity in organisations is the acquisition and maintenance of knowledge. As knowledge is the basis of human capital, then the ability to attract, retain and engage talent is argued to be an important element of innovation. By attracting and retaining good staff, the organisation is retaining organisational knowledge
which is necessary particularly for exploitation of current capabilities, but will also contribute to capacity for exploration for future innovation. This paper
addresses the importance of retaining and developing staff as a critical issue for knowledge management and addresses the issue of retaining talent through effective succession management practices. The findings from an exploratory
study into current practices in the Australian rail sector, provides furthe...
Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Education's financial management problems, focusing on: (1) Education's fiscal year (FY) 1999 financial audit results; (2) the relationship between the audit findings and the potential for waste, fraud, and abuse, and (3) the results of GAO's review of the Department's grantback account."
In a world of fast changing environments for business, the need for innovation is one of the most stable items. On the other hand, innovation is influenced by more and more factors, like increasing products and service complexity ore growing numbers of partners, involved into a single product innovation. This paper introduces interoperability problems related to simultaneous business and product development.Purpose – This paper introduces the L-modelAgile, an advancement of the V-model. Due to interoperability is essential during the product development process, overall aim of the L-modelAgile is to improve the quality and rate of innovation within complex systems during the early stages of a stable and simultaneously agile innovation process.Design/methodology/approach – The basis of the L-modelAgile consists of the interoperability b...
Information plays a very significant role in the economic development of the
enterprises. It is increasingly used as a corporate resource to improve productivity,
efficiency and effectiveness. This means that information in the form of records, is a
strategic weapon to gain competitive advantage for the enterprise that creates and
receives them. The study explores the problems that are facing terminology in the
study of information management and records management. The problems that
exist in terms of terminology are so intense that there is yet no universally acceptable
definition for records and records management.
The basic elements of records management are explored in attempt to position
records management as an information management function. It demands records as
vital information resources be managed throughout their...
Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "As part of its work to improve the management and performance of the federal government, GAO monitors progress and continuing challenges related to the President's Management Agenda (PMA). The Administration has looked to GAO's high-risk program to help shape various governmentwide initiatives, including the PMA. GAO remains committed to working with the Congress and the Administration to help address these important and complex issues."
Urbanization, which is ever increasing on a global scale, can negatively affect wildlife and habitat as well as biotic realms including air, soil, and water. One of the impacts of urbanization is urban runoff. A method commonly employed to mitigate runoff is the construction of stormwater management ponds (SWMPs). These ponds have created new habitat for urban wildlife, especially waterfowl such as Canada geese and mallard ducks. In some municipalities, increased numbers and densities of waterfowl near SWMPs are considered a nuisance due to their large numbers, considerable amount of fecal matter and because they may create health hazards. This research specifically examines the influence of species composition and height of vegetation around SWMPs on waterfowl use and whether changes in Escherichia coli counts are attributed to w...
This course will introduce concepts and techniques for design, planning and control of manufacturing and service operations. The course provides basic definitions of operations management terms, tools and techniques for analyzing operations, and strategic context for making operational decisions. We present the material in five modules: Operations Analysis Coordination and Planning Quality Management Project Management Logistics and Supply Chain Management
The study presents a monographic description based on a personal experience. We identify the three main steps : * The reasons that lead a researcher in management to become an action-researcher; * The action of transformation of the SME that welcomes the researcher; * The process that leads action-researcher to become the General Manager of the SME and daily mixes research and management as intellectual intrapreneur. Then we analyse the consequences of this process through two key questions: * Is action-research designed to lead research in Management or research for Management? * How to maintain the external validity of an action-research that transforms the researcher into an intrapreneur?
