Corporate sustainability performance: methods and illustrative examples

Corporate Sustainability Reporting and Measuring Corporate Performance

Corporate sustainability reporting and the measurement of environmental, social, economic and governance performance are discussed in the paper. These are necessary tools of top management for the company strategy choice of sustainable success. In doing so, the relationship between company performance and these factors is important, therefore, the need to develop the modern and advanced methods...

Fuzzy concepts and formal methods: some illustrative examples

It has been recognised that formal methods are useful as a modelling tool in requirements engineering. Speci cation languages such as Z permit the precise and unambiguous modelling of system properties and behaviour. However some system problems, particularly those drawn from the IS problem domain, may be di cult to model in crisp or precise terms. It may also be desirable that formal modelling...

Lmis and Polynomial Methods in Control: Illustrative Examples

Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) are now widely used as a convenient tool for solving a signiicant number of control problems. Probably for historical reasons, LMIs have mainly been used conjointly with state-space methods. Several recent works however tend to prove that polynomial (or algebraic) methods can also rely on LMIs. With the help of simple illustrative examples, the purpose of this ...

Assessing vulnerability to poverty: concepts, empirical methods and illustrative examples

A household’s observed poverty level is an ex-post measure of a household’s well-being (or lack thereof). But poverty is a stochastic phenomenon and the current poverty level of a household, may not necessarily be a good guide to the household’s expected poverty in the future. For thinking about appropriate forward-looking anti-poverty interventions (i.e., interventions that aim to go beyond th...
