In this article, a novel platform is addressed for modeling and simulating cause and effect relationships of strategy map. Our work is constructed from two components. First, we identify and model the causal relationships among strategic objectives using adaptive fuzzy cognitive maps. Then, we will recognize and simulate the interrelatedness of causalities using fuzzy inference system. In a real case...
This paper presents a case study of what we believe to be the first commercial product to use interval type-2 fuzzy logic in a computing with words application to the digital economy. The Discovery Investing Scoreboard is a free online service for evaluating the investment potential of companies in a manner distinct from more traditional styles of investment analysis. It is particularly applicable...
This is a qualitative empirical study that contributes to the field human capital and brand innovation in China with regards specifically to the top level management of Chinese grown and owned enterprises. Using a tri-pronged framework of analysis based on grounded theory, critical discourse analysis and visual semiotics, this study focuses in particular on the recent growth of Geely Automobile, that...
This study was conducted to measure the readiness of PT Pertamina in implementing e-learning, where the study refers to the theories and methods of measurement have been developed by Aydin & Tasci. The results showed that PT Pertamina as a whole is ready for e-learning, but still need some improvement especially in the field of human resources. In addition, this study confirms that personal characteristics...
The sustainability concern has shaped a new approach to product innovation in 21st century. Greening the product innovation (GPI) is believed to positively impact the environment, as well as the economic growth. However, review of literatures indicates that firms are still ambiguous to embark on GPI, partly because they do not know what capabilities are required for such an effort. This paper aims...
Office politics or politicking is the option for those who wish to influence decisions and it is common to find organizational members or units engaging in influence tactics to protect or further their own interest, especially if their workplace is characterized by uncertainty, limited resources and lack of trust. Although organizational politics can work either for or against an organization, it...
Over the last decade organisations have taken a keen interest in retaining tacit knowledge as it is a very important asset for organisations. This has led to the adoption of knowledge management practices that provide innovation in decision making, product and process efficiency. However as organisational knowledge is greatly dependant on the tacit knowledge that its employees possess, it is important...
As network attacks have increased in number and severity over the past few years, intrusion detection system (IDS) is increasingly becoming a critical component to secure the network. Due to large volumes of security audit data as well as complex and dynamic properties of intrusion behaviors, optimizing performance of IDS becomes an important open problem that is receiving more and more attention...
BACKGROUND -- whilst substantial effort has been invested in developing and evaluating knowledge-based techniques for project prediction, little is known about the interaction between them and expert users. OBJECTIVE -- the aim is to explore the interaction of cognitive processes and personality of software project managers undertaking tool-supported estimation tasks such as effort and cost prediction...
Electrical safety incidents and injuries can be the result of inappropriate work behavior or what is referred to as “unsafe acts.” This occurs even though training and education have been provided on the electrical hazards and the possible consequences. Providing training to people is not enough to motivate them to follow the procedures. When unsupervised, those people who are aware of the hazards...
The objective of this study is to examine why and how operators usually achieve a normal operational level. The author focuses on Threat and Error Management (TEM) in aviation as a key concept for finding an answer. Following this approach, the author conducted a participant observation of railway drivers and explored the above-stated question with reference to some of the behaviour he observed. The...
A key characteristic of a knowledge economy is the shift from an economy dominated by tangible assets to one that is based on intangible, knowledge-based assets, which consist primarily of human capital and innovation. The success of a regional knowledge economy is, in turn, measured by its ability to attract and retain companies that focus on the production, dissemination and application of knowledge,...
It is becoming common practice to migrate signal-based video workflows to IT-based Video workflows. Video workflows have some inherent features, including: 1) necessary human involvements in video workflows introduce security and authorization concerns; 2) the frequent change of video workflow contexts requires a flexible approach to acquiring performance data; 3) the content-centric nature of video...
With the growing popularity of massive multiplayer online games (MMOG), the demand to protect these games and especially the participating players is increasing likewise. In this paper, we discuss a sequence-based solution to protect online games from being exploited by fully automated bots. Our research is based on various commercial and non-commercial bot implementations for the renowned game World...
In order to study the interval multiple attribute decision making problem, this paper presents a new method based on variance and approach degree. The detailed procedure of the proposed algorithm and numerical experiment are given. Also the proposed algorithm is compared with an existed algorithm. Compared results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and feasible.
In this paper, we analyze the trends of significant accidents in financial information systems from the user viewpoint. Based on the analyses, we show the priority issues for dependability improvement. First, as a prerequisite in this study, we define gaccidents, h gtypes of accidents, h gseverity of accidents, h and gfaults.h Second, we collected as many accident cases of financial information...
Good business decision making depends on how good information is provided. Due to this factor, the quality of data provided by transactions systems database is really important to organizations in order to produce the best solution for their company to move forward. Data Quality issues have become major problems in most enterprise systems where in some cases forced companies to stop their operations...
Our paper developed a business process modeling solution for human resource management in services companies. We link personality types to several abilities, grouped in two categories: minimum abilities and transferable abilities and follow individual performance and transferable abilities in recruitment and promotion process for a call center company. Campaigne indicators for case-study company was...
A single question concerning human communication represents serious issues in many social fields: "What makes communication active?" Even though this question has been partially researched, no law has yet been revealed. In this paper, a unified Hamiltonian model of activity level in face-to-face communications between people is introduced. This model consists of two basic findings drawn...
Through a case study involving a microengineering company, this paper models the flow of strategic information i.e. the quality of information required to make strategic decisions. The structure for collaboration within the company is captured using complex network theory. The behaviour of the network is then analysed in terms of how decisions are made based on the closeness of relationships among...
