admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:39:59 +0000

To thrive in today's competitive market midsize organizations need to be agile, responding quickly to changing market conditions and exceeding customers' demands. This implies flexibility in their underlying ICTCT infrastructure and business processes.

Honda's minivan and sport utility vehicle assembly plant in Lincoln, Ala., is reminiscent of a medical center. That could be the result of the grounds. The beautifully designed and landscaped exterior - the green grass and colorful foliage, and covered circular drive - gives the impression that you're entering a professional office complex, not a 4,500-employee manufacturing plant.

maddy — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:40:01 +0000

Europe is expected to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. These are crucial priorities of the Lisbon Strategy (Renewed Lisbon Strategy: Implementing the Renewed Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, 2007). According to the EU public sector development initiatives in the period 2008-2009, European Council (European Council, March 2005; MTM Program, 2007) reiterated that simplifying EU legislation and improving the efficiency and transparency of public administrations will significantly strengthen economic competitiveness through encouraging business confidence and improving standards of public service. The challenges of new, knowledge-based public sectors in Europe are forcing developed countries to seek and expand comparative advantages mainly through the intellectual capital of the management of public service institutions so as to be able to continuously incorporate strategic change management issues.

Project Management and Cultural Change: a case study at the University of Western Australia Library

maddy — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:40:27 +0000

Over the years the management of projects at the University of Western Australia Library has generally been poor. With some exceptions, projects were badly scoped, had no clear direction, would proceed in fits and starts, and some would not be completed at all. On occasions a project would get to a stage where implementation was due and there would be no resources available. On completion loose ends would be left and the transfer of the project to operational stage would be unplanned and ad hoc. Reporting was also poor so managers often had little idea of the status of a project. In 2005 a project management method – PRINCE2 – was implemented across the library, staff were trained, and its use was mandated. Read more to know how it has helped.

Privatization in Germany: Lessons from a Third Side Case Study

maddy — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:40:04 +0000

As Germany (re-) unified itself in the months and years following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and as east German companies were privatized, the usual process was for the nationally organized "Treuhandanstalt" (Trust Agency or THA), as formal owner of all former assets of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), to sell off companies by negotiating directly with western German or foreign buyers. The companies themselves (management and employees) were only rarely included in the discussions or even consulted. This usually resulted in fruitless and acrimonious negotiations between buyer and seller, as both were far removed from and ignorant of the realities “on the ground”. The onsequences for those affected (the company) were dire. In a very few cases, however, company management or even employees managed to get involved (classic "third side" activity) and thus deescalate the conflict and mprove the outcome. One such scenario was that of the Agricultural Machinery GmbH in Leipzig (AMG), a loss-aking entity in a troubled industry, with little initial outlook for economic success. Read more....
