No full textVIEW ON MANAGERIAL TASK FIELDS IN ORGANISATIONS A management- technical analysis on basis of an urbanisation project and literature connected to it.The purpose of this study is to get a better idea of managerial aspects of complex managerial situations as an urbanisation project.For this study the author did a case-study (an urbanisation project) and a study of literature connected to it.In the urbanisation project, a study has been made of the urban planning process. Central theme is the process of co-operation between the various people and organisations involved in the planning process such as urban planners, projectmanagers, local-, provincial- and national government.For this study the author used the view of Professor Drs. A.A. Kampfraath, Professor in (Industrial) Business Administration of the Dutch Agricultural University at Wageningen.Out of his distinguished managerial processes and basic managerial concerns or task-fields that are to be filled-in, in each organisation, an analytical frame-work is developed. Concerning the managerial processes there is made a distinction between the managed process, the managing process, the managing of the managing proces etc. (respectively the A-, B-, C-process etc.). Concerning the managerial task-fields there is made a distinction between the strategic-, conditioning-, executionary- and operational task-field (respectively the managerial task-fields If IIa, IIb and III).This analytical frame-work is based on the different managerial task- fields and the managerial processes.out of this case-study, the author made some statements, concerning the planning process and the organisational conditions under which this planning process takes place.Apart from the case-study, the author made a study of the literature concerning the urban planning process and the organisational conditioning of interdisciplinary co-operation.The author made a selection out of literature concerning, decision- making, systems- and process approach of organisations and forms of organisational co-operation.For an analysis of the contribution of the selected literature to a better idea of the planning process, and to get a better idea of managerial aspects of complex managerial situations is general, the literature is projected against the analytical frame-work.From the case-study and the study of the literature the author came to conclusions concerning the planning process and the way of getting a better understanding of it and to get a better idea of managerial aspects of complex managerial situations in general.Chapter 1, describes the historical process of this dissertation.Chapter 2, describes the design of the dissertation.Chapter 3, describes the analytical frame-work.The analytical frame-work consists of the basic managerial task-fields to be filled in on different levels of managing: the planning process (B-level), managing of the planning process (C-level), managing of the managing of the planning process (D-level). At the same time a difference has been made between managing-beforehand (-b) and managing-during (-d). The A-level concerns the executing process to be managed, for example the building process.Chapter 4, describes the planning process of the urbanisation project, with the use of the analytical frame-work.Chapter 5, describes an analysis of the case-study. The author issued some statements concerning the planning proces and the organisational conditioning of the co-operation under which the planning process takes places. For example it appears to be possible to order the observed managerial activities to the managerial task-fields of the analytical frame-work and that there is a coherence between the planning process (BIIIb) and its operational managing (CIIIb en CIlId).At the same time it appears that there are a number of questions, for example "how, by whom and in what way of co-operation the managerial task-fields are filled-in?", that can not be discussed by using the analytical frame-work.Chapter 6, describes the study of the literature. Literature concerning the urban planning process and the organisational conditioning of interdisciplinairy co-operation are described and projected against the analytical frame-work.Special attention is paid to the questions:- which managerial task-fields of the analytical frame-work the literature is dealing with?- what is the contribution to a better idea of the way all the managerial task-fields are filled in, in general and some of them in particular?Also the consequence of the study of the literature for the case- study, has been described.Chapter 7, provides the conclusions. They can be summerized as follows:- with the urbanisation project a great number of managerial task- fields, among which those from the analytical framework, are demonstrable filled in;- there is a coherence between the planning process (BIIIb) and the operational managing of it (CIIIb and CIIId). In the actual planning processing the operational managing and the executionary managing of the planning process (CIIbd and CIIId concerning BIIIb), easy merge with the planning process itself (BIIIb);- to fill in the managerial task-fields a certain number of managerial activities are carried out. At the D-managerial level much less managerial activities are carried out than at the Cand B-managerial level;- at a closer look at the actual urban planning process it appears not only to in be questionable, which managerial task-fields are under discussion; also how, by whom, and in what form of co- operation these managerial task-fields are filled in. The analytical frame-work seems to be a usefull instrument to get a better idea of complex managerial situations and as a check of completeness of the managerial approach. The analytical frame- work does not give the apportunity to discus the questions mentioned above;- the described literature does deal with the questions mentioned above. Partly it deals with the HOW-question of filling in a managerial task-field in general and of the planning process (BIIIb), the strategic managing of the executing process (BI) and the organisational conditioning of the planning process (CIIa) in particular. Concerning the organisational conditioning the literature deals with the WHAT-question as well. The literature describes also some conditions for filling in the managerial task- fields in general. The described literature concerning the urban planning process does not distinguish the managerial levels B, C and D. The literature concerning the systems and process approach of organisations does distinguish the B- and C-level (metamanaging), but does not work it out. The D-level is not mentioned in the described literature.An important merit of the analytical frame-work comparing to the described literature is that some elements that are described apart from each other in that literature, are integrated and are more worked out in the analytical frame-work;- for a more comprehensive description of, in case of this study, an urbanisation project, a more comprehensive conceptual model than the analytical frame-work is required. Such a conceptual model should at least enclose:· a sub model of the urban planning process (see for example the literature concerning the urban planning process);· a sub model that indicates the managerial task-fields that have to be filled in for the realisation of urban plans (see for example the analytical frame-work);· a sub model that indicates how, by whom and in what form of co-operation these managerial task-fields are filled in-(see for example the literature concerning the organisational conditoning of interdisciplinaire co-operation).In particular chapters 3.2., 4.4, 5., 6.4. and 6.5. produce a start for such a conceptuel model.For the time being there is no reason to suppose that such a conceptual model should not also be inforced as well for other than urbanisation projects such as automatisation projects, reorganisation projects, etc. and for questions of managing and organisation in general.Chapter 8 presents a recommendation.It is recommendable to do further practical and theoretical survey on the managerial task-fields at the managerial levels C- and D.In particular for the urban planning process discussion it is to recommend to involve the managing of the planning process (C-level) and the managing of the managing of the planning process (D-level) into this discussion
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
