Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les évolutions rapides des exigences des clients, des technologies, des organisations, des méthodes et des outils de conception demandent aux concepteurs de développer constamment leurs compétences pour maintenir ou accroître les performances des projets de développement de nouveaux produits. Dans ce contexte, les managers et les concepteurs ont besoin d'outils pour les aider à améliorer le pilotage des compétences mobilisées dans leurs activités. Notre contribution à cette problématique est double : d'une part, une modélisation des situations de travail pour réaliser la traçabilité des activités de conception et d'autre part, une approche floue pour caractériser les compétences. Pour la formalisation du concept de situation, nous avons proposé un cadre conceptuel définissant la situation par un ensemble d'entités qui participent, par des rôles spécifiques, à différentes interactions. Sur la base de ces concepts, nous avons proposé une modélisation UML de la situation pour structurer l'historique des activités de conception. Pour la caractérisation des compétences, nous avons proposé un modèle de la compétence regroupant un ensemble de connaissances techniques et quatre types de capacités estimées par une note relative. Le processus de caractérisation s’effectue sur deux étapes. La première est une qualification des différentes caractéristiques de la situation par des variables linguistiques. La deuxième est réalisée par un système de logique floue qui convertit le résultat de l'étape de "qualification de la situation" en valeur estimée des composants de la compétence associée. Notre première application en milieu industriel ouvre de nouvelles pistes de recherche. Elle nous a permis de confirmer la possibilité d'utiliser ce "principe de solution" pour répondre à d'autres problématiques de pilotage des compétences.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le travail de cette thèse porte sur l'élaboration d'un référentiel pour le développement d'un système de pilotage de la performance cohérent et réactif, interface entre plusieurs méthodes distinctes et complémentaires. Le référentiel proposé intègre des principes clés de pilotage par la performance et propose une alternative améliorée et prometteuse par rapport aux systèmes de mesures de la performance traditionnels. Un système de pilotage de la performance est un outil indispensable pour une organisation. Sa conception demeure par ailleurs une démarche complexe étant donné les différents aspects et éléments que l'organisation doit intégrer dans son processus d'évaluation et d'amélioration de la performance, en particulier les événements perturbateurs, souvent négligés dans la littérature et très difficile à intégrer dans l'élaboration d'un mécanisme de pilotage de la performance. En effet, le choix de la variable de décision pour contrecarrer les effets d'un évènement perturbateur n'est pas toujours immédiate, il possède une certaine inertie qui peut entraîner une perte de la performance globale. Également, les décideurs ne disposent pas souvent des mécanismes et des outils susceptibles de vérifier que les composantes clés de pilotage de la performance (Objectifs-Variables de décision-Indicateurs de performance) engagées par chacun d'eux soient cohérentes et aident à faire évoluer l'organisation vers l'atteinte de ses objectifs escomptés. De ce fait, l'organisation évolue dans un contexte souvent incertain et doivent faire preuve d'adaptabilité pour garantir leur viabilité. Ce projet de recherche est motivé par un besoin criant soulevé suite à une revue de littérature soulignant la nécessité de développer un système de pilotage de la performance qui répond aux défis actuels en terme de pilotage, à savoir : la cohérence entre les composantes clés de pilotage de la performance et la réactivité pour faire face aux évènements perturbateurs. De ce fait, notre volonté dans ce travail a été de proposer un référentiel pour le développement d'un système de pilotage de la performance cohérent et réactif. Les contributions de cette thèse sont présentées en quatre phases. Dans une première phase, à partir du constat réalisé durant la revue de littérature, nous avons souligné la nécessité de proposer une démarche structurale SIPCo (Système d'Indicateurs de Performance Cohérent) pour identifier les composantes clés de pilotage de la performance et assurer leur cohérence à travers deux démarches. Une démarche logique basée sur (1) une approche de modélisation de système décisionnel afin d'identifier les centres de décision et (2) une approche de modélisation de système informationnel afin de d'établir une représentation de la part interactive des composantes clés de pilotage de la performance de chaque centre de décision. La méthode SIPCo repose aussi sur une démarche participative pour accompagner la démarche logique afin de définir les différentes composantes clés de pilotage de la performance auprès des futurs utilisateurs. Dans une deuxième phase, nous avons proposé une démarche procédurale SYPCo-R (Système de Pilotage de la Performance Cohérent et Réactif) en intégrant un élément jamais intégré par les autres systèmes d'évaluation de la performance, à savoir "évènement potentiel". En effet, la plupart des systèmes de pilotage par la performance sont basés sur le triplet "Objectif – Variable de Décision – Indicateur de performance". Alors que, SYPCoR que nous proposons est basé sur le quadruplet "Objectif – Évènement potentiel – Variable de Décision – Indicateur de performance". L'objectif de SYPCo-R est d'apporter une cohérence globale dans l'exploitation des composantes clés de pilotage de la performance et une réactivité en intégrant la notion d'évènement potentiel dans la prise de décision à travers une méthodologie de classement des variables de décision qui permettent de contrecarrer les évènements potentiels susceptibles d'entraver l'atteinte des objectifs. Dans une troisième phase, nous avons proposé un modèle conceptuel MCR (Modèle Conceptuel de Réactivité) qui reprend les propriétés fondamentales de la notion de réactivité sous forme d'algorithme composé d'un ensemble des règles opératoires pour identifier les défaillances de performance en terme de réactivité et leurs origines afin d'ajuster et consolider SYPCo-R. Dans une quatrième phase, nous avons proposé une démarche prédictive basée sur la simulation pour évaluer et apprécier l'impact des valeurs fixées aux alternatives associées à chaque variable de décision choisie parmi le classement résultant de la démarche SYPCo-R. Cette démarche vise aussi à anticiper les défaillances de performance pour ajuster les paramètres de MCR et SYPCo-R. Les décideurs pourront ainsi disposer d'un outil supplémentaire pour garantir la cohérence, la réactivité basée sur l'anticipation et la prédiction. Les travaux de cette thèse apportent des solutions innovantes dans la démarche de l'élaboration d'un système de pilotage de la performance en proposant un référentiel interface entre plusieurs méthodes distinctes et complémentaires qui répond efficacement aux préoccupations des décideurs. Le référentiel proposé permet de cerner la complexité d'un système et de la rendre intelligible par les décideurs. De plus, il s'apprête bien à des extensions futures basées sur une exploitation optimisée des données en temps réel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a ten-year examination of control systems in over 50 U.S. businesses, this book broadens the definition of control and establishes a critical bridge between the disciplines of strategy and accounting and control. In addition to the more traditional diagnostic control systems, Simons identifies three new control systems that allow strategic change: belief systems that communicate core values and provide inspiration and direction, boundary systems that frame the strategic domain and define the limits of freedom, and interactive systems that provide flexibility in adapting to competitive environments and encourage organizational learning. These four control systems, according to Simons, will provide managers with the basic levers for pursuing strategic objectives.

Download or read book Strategic Management Control written by Fredrik Nilsson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic management control differs from traditional management control in several important respects. First, it supports both strategy formulation and strategy implementation. Second, it is to a large extent based on non-financial information. Third, it deals with both the long and short term and supports not only tactical, but also strategic and operational decision-making. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, strategic management control is designed for, and adapted to, each organisation’s unique strategies. In this context, the book emphasises the importance of dialogues. The authors argue that it is unwise to assume that decisions taken at the top of the organisation will automatically be executed and obeyed throughout the organisation. Instead, they highlight the importance of dialogue and collaboration, both between hierarchical levels within the organisation and between actors in the network. Such communication is essential to making management control processes both strategic and successful. The book follows a clear structure, from the design of strategies to the everyday evaluation and discussion of performance and results. Though primarily intended for professionals working in strategy and management control at organisations, it will also benefit students and academics interested in strategy and management control.

Download or read book Incentives for Helping on the Job written by Gerald T. Garvey and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in incentive theory stress the multi- dimensional nature of agent effort and specifically cases where workers affect one another's performance through "helping" efforts. This paper models helping efforts as determined by the compensation package and task allocation. The model is tested with Australian evidence on reported helping efforts within workgroups. The evidence consistently supports the hypothesis that helping efforts are reduced, while individual efforts are increased, when promotion incentives are strong. Piece rates and profit-sharing appear to have little effect on helping efforts. Contrary to the predictions of some recent theoretical models, task variety and helping efforts are positively correlated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the pressure of growing foreign competition, many American firms are entering into incentive contracts with their employees. As a result, the standard fixed-wage system is gradually giving way to a more diversified system of remuneration in which a significant portion of employee income is based upon some measure of the firm's performance. In this volume, a group of economists, industrial psychologists, and business and labor professionals examine the merits of alternative forms of remuneration. The contributors explore such issues as profit sharing, productivity sharing, bonus systems, and employee stock ownership.

Download or read book Your Mindful Compass written by Andrea Maloney Schara and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

Download or read book Framing Work written by Edmund Heery and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a broad-ranging survey of contemporary writing about work and employment. It identifies three broad traditions of research and commentary on work - the unitary perspective, the pluralist perspective and the critical perspective - and describes the contemporary output of these traditions; i.e. it surveys current research and argument found within these traditions. The book also surveys debate between these traditions, and the second part of the book presents a detailed account of debate over four current issues. These issues are employee participation, customer culture, equality and diversity and the impact of the global financial crisis. The source material for the book comes from the UK, USA and other countries and the arguments contained within it have international relevance. The book provides an overview of recent work on the employment relationship and the debate and controversy that can be seen in this area of study. Framing Work will be of interest to academics researching and writing about employment and to advanced students in Industrial Relations, Human Resource Management, Organization Studies, and Sociology.

Download or read book Multipliers of Change written by Wolf, Tobias and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher Education Leadership and Management have become increasingly important throughout the years due to the complexities that have to be addressed by universities worldwide. This can be seen not only in professionalisation in fields such as faculty management or in areas of quality assurance and internationalisation, but also in the need for exchange and training in academic leadership, such as that of deans or study deans, or of university leadership in general. The Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies (DIES) is addressing this need in emerging countries by building platforms of exchange and offering training courses. Not only is the programme supporting capacity building of human resources, but it is also specifically focusing on inducing change within the universities, such as introducing new instruments or tools in the area of quality assurance and internationalisation, and addressing specific challenges or setting up new structures in the form of projects in the frame of the training. The ‘National Multiplication Trainings’ Programme under DIES is further addressing the sustainability and multiplication of the DIES Programme, that is, alumni are enabled to implement capacity building in higher education leadership and management in their national context. The articles within this volume of the “Potsdamer Beiträge zur Hochschulforschung” (Potsdam Contributions to Higher Education Research) analyse and share the experiences of such training programmes held in Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Malaysia, Kenya, and Uganda. They all revolve around the best ways to address the needs and challenges in higher education leadership and management, and in building capacities in these areas.

Download or read book The New Public Management in Action written by Ewan Ferlie and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses changes which have occurred in the organization and management of the UK public services over the last 15 years, looking particularly at the restructured NHS. The authors present an up to date analysis around three main themes: 1. the transfer of private sector models to the public sector 2. the management of change in the public sector 3. management reorganization and role change In doing so they examine to what extent a New Public Management has emerged and ask whether this is a parochial UK development or of wider international significance. This is a topical and important issue in management training, professional and policy circles. Important analytic themes include: an analysis of the nature of the change process in the UK public services: characterisation of quasi markets; the changing role of local Boards and possible adaptation by professional groupings. The book also addresses the important and controversial question of accountability, and contributes to the development of a general theory of the New Public Management.
