    Learning more from crossing levels: Investigating agility at three levels of the organization

    Full text link
    Scholars have tried to explain how organizations can build agile teams by only looking at one level of analysis. We argue in this short paper that lessons can be learned from organizational science results explaining variance on three different abstraction levels of organizations. We suggest agility needs to be explained from organizational (macro), the team (meso), and individual (micro) levels to provide useful and actionable guidelines to practitioners. We are currently designing such studies and hope that they will eventually result in validated measurements that can be used to prevent companies from investing in the wrong areas when trying to move towards more agility

    Get PDF
    The Software Engineering Process Simulation (SEPS) model is described which was developed at JPL. SEPS is a dynamic simulation model of the software project development process. It uses the feedback principles of system dynamics to simulate the dynamic interactions among various software life cycle development activities and management decision making processes. The model is designed to be a planning tool to examine tradeoffs of cost, schedule, and functionality, and to test the implications of different managerial policies on a project's outcome. Furthermore, SEPS will enable software managers to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of software project development and perform postmodern assessments

    The Mediating Effect of Innovation on The Relationship between Strategic Management Dimensions and Construction Project Development: A Conceptual Framework

    Get PDF
    Innovation becomes a crucial factor to the project development; a factor which is ignored by the previous strategic management models that focused more on the physical resources of the project. This paper aims to investigate the improvement of the linkage in between the competitive advantages’ roots and the projects’ development. A comprehensive review has been done wherein several previous strategic management models are discussed. The reviews found out that there are some pillars of strategies that contribute to the project development. Even more, this review focuses on how to strengthen the direct relationship between the competitive advantages’ roots and the project development. This paper is significantly important because it adds innovation factor as a mediator between the competitive advantages and the project’s development. Hence, this paper provides an effective project development model linkage for the project’s strategic plan.Keywords—Competitive advantages; resources; value; capability; innovation; project developmen

    Much attention is now being paid to the development of offshore oil and gas fields. Fields located on the continental shelf of the Sea of Okhotsk are of great value as they contain significant volumes of oil and gas. In addition to maintaining production from existing offshore fields on the Russian continental shelf, it is important to engage in the development of unexplored or poorly explored areas. The Sakhalin 1 and Sakhalin 2 projects have been in production for some time. Oil and gas production from these projects continues to this day. The Sakhalin 3 project is developing the Yuzhno-Kirinskoye gas condensate field, which was discovered in 2010. In 2017 and 2018, exploration work led to the discovery of two oil fields, Neptun and Triton, with total reserves estimated at 500 million tonnes. The Triton field was among the top 3 largest fields discovered worldwide in 2018. Today, oil and gas companies strive to develop fields in the safest, most technologically efficient, and environmentally friendly way. Therefore, the assessment of the field potential, the proposal of the field development option and the preliminary version of the production profile calculation is an important task, which can later be used as the basis for selecting the field development option when specifying the field data. The purpose of this master's thesis is to identify a technical feasible option of developing the Triton field. In Chapter 1 a review of the different phases of an offshore field development is described. The master’s thesis includes in Chapter 2 a description and analysis of the natural, climatic, and geographical conditions in which the field is located. In addition, in Chapter 3, the geology of the Triton field reservoir is described. An estimate calculation using Python programming language of potential geological reserves are made in accordance with the data obtained seismic exploration was performed, and the first well was drilled. Based on data from neighbouring fields and relative phase permeability curves, an approximate value of the oil recovery factor that can be achieved by implementing existing technologies is hand-calculated in Chapter 4. Also, in this Chapter excel calculations were conducted to calculate and plot production profiles for V-0, V1-1, and V1-2 layers (production profiles for layers V1-2 and V-0 are provided in Appendix 2). Next, Chapter 5, screening of existing concepts for the development of offshore fields on the shelf of Sakhalin and Norway is carried out. A comparative analysis of different field development options is done, and each concept is evaluated. A subsea production system with pipeline fluid transfer to the Moliqpaq platform with further transportation to onshore processing facility is suggested as a result of the concept’s analysis. Finally, in Appendix 4 the maximum allowable wire tension during the lifting operations of subsea template is estimated. A summary is prepared, and an extensive list of references is enclosed. This master's thesis does not include an economic analysis due to the volatility of oil prices and the prevailing economic uncertainty. The absence of a specific investment date further hinders the ability to conduct a comprehensive economic analysis to estimate prices for oil products leading up to the investment date. The economic can be calculated once the approximate start date of the project has been established, in order to assess whether the project will be economically viable to implement

    Everyone\u27s learning is increasing in this competitive environment, to the point that professional chances are becoming scarce. Companies desire the greatest personnel in their areas. It was difficult to find persons who were bright enough to be recruited at the time. Companies’ attempts to find qualified employees are also increasing. The purpose of this application is to provide a system that allows employers and candidates to communicate with one another. The idea is to speed up the recruiting process by facilitating contact between interested parties. A career engine is a website that offers recruiters and job seekers with online information. Our application helps both job searchers and recruiters choose the finest company for their workers. For job seekers, the employment site presents a list of companies based on their educational credentials, experience, and interests. Furthermore, it offers appropriate candidates from a pool of shortages to recruiters. In this project, we utilized MySQL to store the data, and the frontend is constructed using HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and the backend for PHP is made with the MVC CodeIgniter framework. In our application, we use the technological stacks listed above. Our application presented three responsibilities: job searchers, recruiters, and administrators. The responsibility of the job seeker is to apply for the position and offer feedback to the business. The following recruiter\u27s role is to publicize job vacancies, contact job seekers, and conduct interviews on their behalf.
