The history of the French tableau de bord (1885-1975): evidence from the archives
No full textThe history of the tableau de bord in France has never really been written. This paper sets out to draw up a history using the archives of three large industrial companies - Lafarge, Pechiney, and Saint-Gobain – as source material. This paper seeks to revisit the myth of the French tableau de bord as presented in a great many comparative management studies (typically, Tableau de bord vs. Balanced ScoreCard). This myth rests on more or less implicit assumptions regarding, for instance, the central role played by engineers in the emergence of tableaux de bord, the single and unified way in which this instrument is used in companies from top to bottom and, or course, its French specificity.French tableau de bord, scorecard, managerial innovation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Leucoloma crosbyi (Dicranaceae), a New Species Endemic to Northern Madagascar
No full textLeucoloma crosbyi, a new species from northern Madagascar, is described, resulting from a revision of the pantropical genus. Diagnostic characters include: robust habit; narrow, opaque, juxtacostal bands tapering to basal region; costal-laminal transition zone with 2-9 multi- to bistratose rows; interior cells forming broad scarious region; narrow hyaline margin; and longitudinally thickwalled alar cells. It is most closely related to L. grandidieri Ren. & Card. and has been confused with L. talazaccii Ren. & Card
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Pengetahuan dan amalan keselamatan dan kesihatan di Lafarge Cement Kanthan chemor / Ashokumar a/l Maruthamuthu
No full textSyarikat Lafarge di Malaysia di Malaysia mempumyai empat cawangan iaitu di selangor, Langkawi, Johor dan Perak dengan pengeluaran 12.95 milion tan simen. Dalam menjalankan operasi tahap kesedaran Keselamatan dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan haruslah di titik berat bagi menjamin keselamatan pekerjanya. Keselamatan merupakan tanggungjawab bersama majikan dan pekerja. Majikan mestilah menyediakan tempat kerja yang selamat supaya pekerja dapat menjalankan tugas dengan baik. Dalam menjalankan KKP majikan dan pekerja haruslah bekerjasama antara satu sama lain dalam mencapai objektif syarikat. Sekiranya berlaku kemalangan syarikat akan mengalami kerugian,ini akan menjejaskan prestasi syarikat secara keseluruhannya. Oleh itu kajian ini tertumpu kepada aspek keselamatan di tempat kerja. Kajian ini tertumpu kepada pekerja Lafarge dan anggota pengurusan kilang. Analisa kajian mendapati pekerja dan anggota pengurusan mengamalkan KKP dan tahap kesedaran yang tinggi di tempat kerja. Walau bagaimana terdapat segelintir pekerja asing yang tidak mengamalkan KKP mungkin tidak fasih berbahasa melayu atau bahasa inggeris. Ceramah kesedaran mesti dijalankan setiap masa untuk mencapai kemalangan sifar

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
