Increased population growth, demographic change and technological advancements are some of the challenges facing the healthcare sector in the near future. As new Norwegian hospitals are planned with a lifespan of 50 years, it is crucial that these hospitals both satisfy present and future demands of users and owners. This paper suggests that building viable hospitals is an important step in satisfying...
The distribution of counterfeit, fraudulent and sub-standard (CFS) materials is a global phenomenon that also exists in the Norwegian construction industry. CFS materials are materials that are not in accordance with the expected characteristics and performance stated in the CE marking and/or the declaration of performance. Previous research has revealed the presence of CFS steel materials in Norway,...
The EuroMPM [1] is a pan-European cooperation on Master education in project management with seven well aligned Master programmes in different European countries dealing with the ambition to offer an academic education in project management on EQF level 7 [2]. Connecting several Master programmes in a cross-border virtual Master School is a straightforward approach for high-quality Master education...
Nowadays, under the circumstance of open innovation, R&D organizations of dual-coupled mode have been used in China to solve such problems existing in R&D organizations as repetition and fragmentation of institutions and research programs, low commercialization rate of scientific research results, single operating mode and the phenomenon of research lagging behind the development of industry...
The implementation of any project requires not only the development of project documents: the criteria for the project success, WBS-structure, the Matrix of Responsibilities, the budget, the Gantt diagram, etc., but also an unambiguous understanding of all these documents by all participants in the project process: stakeholders, project manager and movable context. As practice shows, this unambiguous...
This paper summarises Ph.D. research study in strategy, project and programme management at SKEMA Business School of France. The research has been construed as an in-depth case study of a fast-growing hotel chain company in Southern China with 36 hotels to scientifically find the positive impact of Confucian cultural values introduced by the company on the hotel chain management and the proactive...
Globally, there have been growing needs to form a project team structure with the members consisted of diverse talents in order for an enterprise to prompt creative and innovative views on business values created from projects. With this type of multi-cultural team, there are higher risk of conflicts occurred among the team members due to difference in perceptions on a type of team culture that the...
This article suggests the hypothesis that a higher competency in program and portfolio management is required for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) within Special Economic Zones (SEZ), which is the special preferential economic and regulatory conditions for local and foreign companies to develop a programs and projects related to the growth of the social, trade, technological, scientific and innovative...
While managing the project it is important to realize the type and scale of it as well as the influence on the company's strategic goals. It could be useful to know what projects, por-grammes or portfolios are strategic and what of them are not. It is helpful for project managers to know the certain criteria for distinguishing the project, porgrammes and portfolios regarding their strategic (or non-strategic)...
The peculiarities of formation criteria, which provide adequate description of images was considered. The feature of vector-rotor functioning and invariance in special points and segment were investigated. It was received the algebraical expressions for determination of step vector as under direct action of rotor. The obtained results of modeling and investigation of values coefficients of compression...
The solution of the problem of construction of generalized model of production system optimal development is considered. Basis of the model — Bolza variational problem with integrated criterion of the first kind. Solution of the problem by numerical method is based on the method of optimal aggregation of “production, development” structures by simulation method of Hamilton function determination and...
Analytic and experimental averaging over random matrices for the error of the true signal recovery is carried out for the method of solving the discrete ill-posed problems on the basis of random projection.
In this paper PV (photovoltaic) controller system and method of controlling of the buck and boost battery charger is given. The controller is mainly designed to charge the photovoltaic batteries in the mode of preserving the constant charging current. The control system is based on the “fuzzy logic” technique. The simulation results are presented as time waveforms, mainly. Finally, one suggested future...
