Management. A continuing bibliography with indexes

This bibliography cites 604 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system in 1979 covering the management of research and development, contracts, production, logistics, personnel, safety, reliability and quality control. Program, project, and systems management; management policy, philosophy, tools, and techniques; decision making processes for managers; technology assessment; management of urban problems; and information for managers on Federal resources, expenditures, financing, and budgeting are also covered. Abstracts are provided as well as subject, personal author, and corporate source indexes

Integrated double loop data driven model for public policymaking

Public policy is the critical key of the welfare programs. An Integrated Double Loop Data Driven Model is proposed to assist in Public Policymaking in solving public problems in a holistic and complete way. The Integrated Model consists of two components: Data Driven Model and Double Loop Model. The first model utilizes Big Data in E-Government Maturity (EM) for Public Policymaking (PP), in which a new E-Government Maturity Model is proposed to support data driven public policymaking based on Big Data. Subsequently, the second model adopts the double loop learning in System Dynamics (SD) whereby, a case study is discussed to show on how to utilize Big Data and System Dynamics for Public Policymaking. The interaction between Big Data, System Dynamics and Public Policymaking are captured in one conceptual model. A new method, System Breakdown Structure (SBS), to bridge between the two models is introduced in the case study. PLS-SEM test on the relationship between EM, SD and PP supports the positive correlation between EM to SD, SD to PP and EM to PP. The R square of PP is 0.48 indicating a high confidence level of the contribution of EM and SD in PP. The R square of SD is 0.45. Both results are also emphasized by the path coefficient result, whereby the path coefficient between EM to SD and SD to PP is higher than 50%. By comparing the path coefficient of EM to PP with and without the SD, the strong influence of SD puts it as full mediation effect. This result would also be similar if the multi-group analysis were conducted. Only for certain paths, there are significant statistical differences between each group; however they still produce positive correlations. The paths are EM to SD path in multigroup analysis of PNS (civil servant) and non-PNS (non-civil servant) and EM to PP path in multigroup analysis of Java and Sumatera islands (more developed region) and Other islands (less developed region). Based on the case study and PLS-SEM test, the Integrated Double Loop Data Driven Model is recommended to be implemented to assist in solving public problem

Advanced Knowledge Application in Practice

The integration and interdependency of the world economy leads towards the creation of a global market that offers more opportunities, but is also more complex and competitive than ever before. Therefore widespread research activity is necessary if one is to remain successful on the market. This book is the result of research and development activities from a number of researchers worldwide, covering concrete fields of research

Bibliography of information on mechanics of structural failure (hydrogen embrittlement, protective coatings, composite materials, NDE)

This bibliography is comprised of approximately 1,600 reference citations related to four problem areas in the mechanics of failure in aerospace structures. The bibliography represents a search of the literature published in the period 1962-1976, the effort being largely limited to documents published in the United States. Listings are subdivided into the four problem areas: Hydrogen Embrittlement; Protective Coatings; Composite Materials; and Nondestructive Evaluation. An author index is included

Economic data bank management in a developing nation

This dissertation describes the results of a research project which was undertaken at Loughborough University of Technology. The basic objectives of the research project were: (1) to investigate the management elements required for organising the development of an Economic Data Bank (EDB), with particular emphasis on the requirements of a developing nation; (2) to investigate the sociological, political and technical implications associated with organising the development of an EDB in a developing nation. A theoretical framework was established for this study. This was dene after an extensive search and review of literature was performed in the areas of data and data base management systems, management information systems, and computer technology in general.
