Key Elements of Thinking Strategically

by Nader Seyed Kalali, Mansoor Momeni, Elham Heydari
"... Strategic thinking is one of the most important capabilities which managers of today’s organizations must possess. Holding companies, due to the kind of problems that they experience, are in serious need of managers capable of strategic thinking. The present research has been conducted with the aim ..."

and their views have been analyzed using fuzzy cognitive maps. Results suggest that having vision, ability to analyze, having systems thinking, ability to question, creativity, ability to make synergy and ability to create advantage are the main elements of strategic thinking in successful managers of holding

Key Elements Redundancies

The importance of labour and technology to the success of the rail business should not be underestimated. Labour productivity and asset efficiency determine rail’s cost structure which is the basis of success in a competitive market. To be a successful carrier of long haul- bulk commodities simply requires being the cheapest because customers are primarily seeking low cost service. As observed in the review of rail’s marketing effort it is possible to gain incremental value from doing something differently (their distribution business brought together a mix of service features that have led to expansion in the size and value of that segment), but at this time rail do not have a core advantage in distribution and logistics, it does in bulk haul commodities over longer distances. After deregulation in 1983 and before March 1985 rail reduced staff numbers only by voluntary means, in accordance with a

Learning Patterns of Activity Using Real-Time Tracking

by Chris Stauffer, W. Eric L. Grimson - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... Our goal is to develop a visual monitoring system that passively observes moving objects in a site and learns patterns of activity from those observations. For extended sites, the system will require multiple cameras. Thus, key elements of the system are motion tracking, camera coordination, activit ..."

Next Century Challenges: Mobile Networking for “Smart Dust”

by J. M. Kahn, R. H. Katz , K. S. J. Pister , 1999
"... Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wire-less communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). Th ..."

System architecture directions for networked sensors

by Jason Hill, Robert Szewczyk, Alec Woo, Seth Hollar, David Culler, Kristofer Pister - IN ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS , 2000
"... Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. They can be deeply embedded in the physical world or spread throughout our environment. The missing elements are an overall system architecture and a methodo ..."

USER ACCEPTANCE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: TOWARD A UNIFIED VIEW

by Viswanath Venkatesh, Michael G. Morris, Gordon B. Davis, Fred D. Davis , 2003
"... Information technology (IT) acceptance research has yielded many competing models, each with different sets of acceptance determinants. In this paper, we (1) review user acceptance literature and discuss eight prominent models, (2) empirically compare the eight models and their extensions, (3) formu ..."
