工程专业团队的管理

当今社会商业竞争激烈,讲求灵活和创新。现代企业因应时势需要,通常采取以团队为基础的工作小组的组织形式。工程专业机构主要由趋向自我领导和对自己工作表现严格要求的专业人员组成,因而指挥一控制模式不再是有效的管理工具。对于这些工程专业团队,我们需要发展新的思路对其进行管理,并加以激励。本文首先简述与职能部门结构相比,跨职能团队结构日趋流行的原因,进而阐述这类团队领导的典型职责,并根据最近的深入研究结果和笔者的经验,揭示一个有效的团队所具备的特征,因其对团队领导能否有效发挥职责至关重要。     

Age and sex effects for emotional intensity.

Examined age and sex trends in emotional intensity in 432 Ss from adopting and nonadopting biological families. It was hypothesized that younger adults and females would report greater average levels of both positive and negative affect over time, as has been demonstrated in past research. 242 Ss (parents and offspring) completed a battery of mood scales. 190 Ss completed an affect intensity measure and a general behavior inventory. In support of the hypothesis, women scored higher on measures reflecting emotional intensity and manifestation of cyclothymic symptoms, and the scores on these measures decreased through the adult life span for both males and females. Potential reasons for the differences in emotional intensity are discussed. These include biological causes, cultural expectations, and current life experiences.

Effect of melt spinning on the microstructure and mechanical properties of three Ni-base superalloys

A microstructural and mechanical analysis was performed on three rapidly solidified nickel base superalloys. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy along with tensile tests were performed on the ribbons in the as-cast and aged condition. This investigation permitted a correlation to be made between cooling rate, microstructure, and mechanical properties. It was found that melt spinning significantly altered the physical characteristics of the alloys studied. The rapid cooling rates (∼10⁷ K/s) produced ribbons with a low dislocation density and small (∼1 μm) low angle cells. The precipitation of γ′ was suppressed, producing alloys with a smaller volume fraction of precipitates and lower APBE than in the conventionally cast condition. Also, the matrix/precipitate lattice mismatch was higher in the melt spun foils. Tensile strengths were similar to those in the conventional form; however, no measurable ductility was present. Aging the ribbons resulted in increases in γ′ volume fraction, tensile strengths, APBE, and elongations compared to the as-cast ribbons. The results of this work suggest that many of the microstructural refinements produced by melt spinning are lost after a short aging time at moderate temperatures.     

The Wizard of OZ in Crmland: Crm's Need for Business Process Management

For several years now the focus of CRM has been to make it easier for companies to “reach out and touch” their customers, and vice versa. We have seen an explosion of technologies (wireless, chat, Web portals, voice recognition, analytics, and so on) that have made it convenient for customers to contact vendors, for employees to obtain information, and for companies to hone in on their most valuable assets - profitable customers. Over the last year, CRM company revenues have soared as the big get huge, and the small pick up sizable crumbs left over from the CRM table. Sure, the market is consolidating; but the CRM money machine rolls on.     

Enterprise architecture,IT effectiveness and the mediating role of IT alignment in US hospitals

Despite the possible benefits of implementing healthcare information technologies, successful implementation of effective healthcare information technology is constrained by cultural and regulatory concerns and technical obstacles encountered when establishing or upgrading an organisation's enterprise infrastructure. In this paper, we advance Ross' four‐stage model of enterprise architecture maturity as a valuable IT resource for helping healthcare organisations sustain a competitive advantage. We use partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modelling to analyse survey data from 164 US hospitals at different stages of EA maturity. Our results provide evidence that enterprise architecture maturity directly influences the effectiveness of hospitals' IT resources for achieving strategic goals. Further, enterprise architecture maturity indirectly influences the effectiveness of IT resources when IT alignment is incorporated as a mediating variable. We discuss the implications of our findings for research and practice and suggest opportunities for future research.

Efficient Retransmission Methods in Wireless MAC Protocol for Multicast

Recent studies on reliable wireless multicast have focused on sending acknowledgement packets from all member stations to the source. Although these studies provide methods of improving the reliability, there have not been any studies on retransmission methods for wireless multicast. Multicast packets are retransmitted based on the unicast transmission rule, which retransmits until all members successfully receive the packet. In this paper, an efficient retransmission method is proposed. The retransmission lasts until the target packet delivery ratio of each member is met. Moreover, the contention window size for retransmission is adjusted based on the reception status of the previous transmission. The performance of the proposed wireless multicast is evaluated by extensive simulations.
