Download or read book From Resource Allocation to Strategy written by Joseph L. Bower and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph L. Bower and Clark G. Gilbert have collected together some of the leading experts on strategy to examine how strategy is actually made by company managers across the several levels of an organization. Is strategy a coherent plan conceived at the top by a visionary leader, or is it formed by a series of smaller decisions, not always reflecting what top management has in mind? Often it is by examining how options for using resources are developed and selected, that we can see how a company's competitive position gets shaped. On the basis of this understanding, we can see better how these processes can be managed. The book's five sections examine how the resource allocation process works, how the way it works can lead a company into serious problems, how top management can intervene to fix these problem, and where the most recent thinking on these problems is headed. A fifth section contains assessments of this work by thought leaders in the fields of economics, competitive strategy, organizational behavior, and strategic management. The implications for those who study firms are considerable. Activity that is normally thought about in terms of substantive outcomes such as market share and revenue growth, or present value and internal rate of return, is seen to be inextricably related to organizational and administrative questions. The findings presented here should inform the research of economists, strategists, and behavioral scientists. Thoughtful executives and those who consult with them will also find the book provocative. The processes described are complex, but clear enough so that the way toward effective management is apparent. The models developed provide a basis for building the systems and organization necessary for today's competitive world.

Download or read book Sustaining Higher Education Through Resource Allocation Learning Design Models and Academic Development written by Makua, Manyane and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations, debates, and policies toward higher education remain in an uncritical mode of normality on issues such as inclusion, exclusion, and equity. In addition, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has starkly highlighted the fragility of the higher education system and has raised salient questions related to inclusivity and quality in all aspects. Sustaining Higher Education Through Resource Allocation, Learning Design Models, and Academic Development fills a gap in the existing literature by introducing current practices and procedures in the face of the new normal as they affect the higher education sector. The book also addresses the various issues of current interest in the higher education sector relative to teaching and learning, student support, staff development, curriculum development, educational technologies, learning design models, and resource allocation. Covering key topics such as student engagement, assessment practices, and academic development, this premier reference source is ideal for administrators, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of computational intelligence has grown tremendously over that past five years, thanks to evolving soft computing and artificial intelligent methodologies, tools and techniques for envisaging the essence of intelligence embedded in real life observations. Consequently, scientists have been able to explain and understand real life processes and practices which previously often remain unexplored by virtue of their underlying imprecision, uncertainties and redundancies, and the unavailability of appropriate methods for describing the incompleteness and vagueness of information represented. With the advent of the field of computational intelligence, researchers are now able to explore and unearth the intelligence, otherwise insurmountable, embedded in the systems under consideration. Computational Intelligence is now not limited to only specific computational fields, it has made inroads in signal processing, smart manufacturing, predictive control, robot navigation, smart cities, and sensor design to name a few. Recent Trends in Computational Intelligence Enabled Research: Theoretical Foundations and Applications explores the use of this computational paradigm across a wide range of applied domains which handle meaningful information. Chapters investigate a broad spectrum of the applications of computational intelligence across different platforms and disciplines, expanding our knowledge base of various research initiatives in this direction. This volume aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry working in all major areas and interdisciplinary areas of computational intelligence, communication systems, computer networks, and soft computing. Provides insights into the theory, algorithms, implementation, and application of computational intelligence techniques Covers a wide range of applications of deep learning across various domains which are researching the applications of computational intelligence Investigates novel techniques and reviews the state-of-the-art in the areas of machine learning, computer vision, soft computing techniques

This book was released on with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several times people on the earth are aicted by the strike of unpredictable phenomena like a disaster. Although some non-governmental organization (NGO) involving in disaster relief operation, prepositioned some resources in disaster-prone areas, but it is not sucient for all times. Sometimes, due to the high intensive devastation, help for providing relief is requested to the other national or international aid. This research has introduced a mathematical model for humanitarian logistic considering two optimization criteria minimize the total cost and total time of the relief logistic operation with a collaboration of resource collection by the NGOs.
