Free Download Performance Measurement in der Forschung und Entwicklung: Konzeption und Methodik By Robert Hauber (auth.)
2002 | 259 Pages | ISBN: 3824476509 | PDF | 8 MB
Die Fähigkeit zu einer kontinuierlichen Generierung attraktiver Produktinnovationen ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung zur Erschließung neuer Märkte, zur Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und zur Steigerung des Unternehmenswerts. Allerdings sind die bisherigen Ansätze zur quantitativen Messung und Evaluierung der Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E) unzureichend. Robert Hauber stellt ein Instrumentarium vor, das es ermöglicht, anhand quantifizierter Leistungsmaße die F&E zukunfts- und wertorientiert zu steuern. Sein Ansatz auf drei Ebenen – F&E-Gesamtsystem, Produktprojekte sowie Technologie- und Produktteilprojekte – reflektiert den systemischen Aufbau der F&E in einem Unternehmen, in dem eine Optimierung der Subsysteme zu einer Optimierung des Gesamtsystems führt. Sein Performance-Measurement-System präsentiert eine ausgewogene Mischung von vergangenheits- und zukunftsorientierten sowie finanziellen und nichtfinanziellen Leistungsmaßen und ist zur Anwendung in mehreren Branchen konzipiert.

Free Download An Innovative Performance Measurement System & Sustainability: The Case of a Developing Country by Habib Zaman Khan
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 259 Pages | ISBN : 981976842X | 14.2 MB
This book assesses the architecture of performance measurement systems (PMS) in emerging countries, utilizing a mix of theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, with Bangladesh as a case context. It examines the evolution and improvement of performance measurement over time with the introduction of new tools, such as multiple dimensional measures and the balanced scorecard (BSC). The book explores the historical and cultural roots of PMS within the context of developing countries and its latest developments in the context of sustainability practices and sustainable development.

Free Download Mapping Sustainability Measurement: A Review of the Approaches, Methods, and Literature (Sustainable Development Goals Series) by Agnieszka Gehringer, Susann Kowalski
English | January 3, 2024 | ISBN: 3031473817 | 185 pages | MOBI | 21 Mb
This book explores modern approaches to sustainability and its measurement. It thoroughly reviews a wide range of existing sustainability measurement systems. Accordingly, the book documents the state of progress toward sustainability measurement by first assessing the past development of wellbeing measurement going beyond GDP and synthesizing the various conceptual approaches to sustainability and its dimensions. It then explores crucial methodological aspects that stay at the core of constructing a sound index system. In the main part of the book, we map the available indices or index systems, their conceptual and methodological backgrounds as well as approaches, which have not yet resulted in an index, but have the potential to contribute to a better understanding of sustainability. More specifically, the book assesses the scope, motivation, and potential usage of each index. It also documents their limitations and drawbacks. This mapping exercise is useful for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners as it offers a detailed and compact overview of where we are and what we still need to account for when measuring sustainability.

Free Download Handbook of Neural Activity Measurement
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0521516226 | 517 Pages | PDF (True) | 18 MB
Neuroscientists employ many different techniques to observe the activity of the brain, from single-channel recording to functional imaging (fMRI). Many practical books explain how to use these techniques, but in order to extract meaningful information from the results it is necessary to understand the physical and mathematical principles underlying each measurement. This book covers an exhaustive range of techniques, with each chapter focusing on one in particular. Each author, a leading expert, explains exactly which quantity is being measured, the underlying principles at work, and most importantly the precise relationship between the signals measured and neural activity. The book is an important reference for neuroscientists who use these techniques in their own experimental protocols and need to interpret their results precisely, for computational neuroscientists who use such experimental results in their models, and for scientists who want to develop new measurement techniques or enhance existing ones.

Free Download Quite Right: The Story of Mathematics, Measurement, and Money by Norman Biggs
English | April 11, 2016 | ISBN: 0198753357 | True EPUB | 192 pages | 4.1 MB
Mathematics didn’t spring spontaneously to life, rules and definitions set in stone for all time. Its progress story has rich connections with measurement and money that have often shaped its development and driven its progress, a process that continues to this day. Quite Right explains how simple mathematical ideas have evolved all the way from prehistoric times so that they pervade almost every aspect of life in the 21st century.

Free Download Paul Lockhart, "Measurement"
English | ISBN: 0674057554 | 2012 | 416 pages | AZW3 | 4 MB
For seven years, Paul Lockhart’s A Mathematician’s Lament enjoyed a samizdat-style popularity in the mathematics underground, before demand prompted its 2009 publication to even wider applause and debate. An impassioned critique of K-12 mathematics education, it outlined how we shortchange students by introducing them to math the wrong way. Here Lockhart offers the positive side of the math education story by showing us how math should be done. Measurement offers a permanent solution to math phobia by introducing us to mathematics as an artful way of thinking and living.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031082613, 3031082648 | PDF | pages: 598 | 23.4 mb
This book aims at presenting a unified framework for the description of working principles, recent advances and applications of cutting-edge measurement technologies for the water sector. Instrumentation and measurement technologies are currently playing a key role in the monitoring, assessment and protection of environmental resources. Measurement techniques and sensing methods for the observation of water systems are rapidly evolving and are requiring an increased multi-disciplinary participation.

Free Download James Guthrie, "Public Value Management, Measurement and Reporting "
English | ISBN: 178441011X | 2014 | 300 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This volume aims to shed light on how public service value is identified, managed, measured and reported. The concept of public value has been increasingly associated with the process of modernisation and in recent years the debate has shifted away from ‘what’ to ‘how’ public value is conceptualised and practiced. How the public sector can meet the communities’ expectations is particularly relevant in light of the Global Financial Crisis. At present, many governments are involved in reform aimed at improving the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of operations, and improving the quality of public services. Examining the effectiveness of these reforms and understanding the gap between the expectations of society and the resources available for public services is an important but under-explored topic. The chapters are the result of a series of conferences and workshops on public value held in 2012 and 2013. There are 20 papers, covering a range of topics, including theoretical reflections, practical case studies and empirical observations aimed at understanding the concept of public value.
