In this paper, based on an ethnographic study, we show how management controllers craft their jobs through their daily practice and try to stretch their occupational identity. We adopt an original posture, developing a ‘negative ontology’ of practice, identity at work and professional competition. We argue that studying what individuals hide or despise in their daily activities enriches our und...

When the transition of operational activities is framed not as an instantaneous optimization problem but rather a series of incremental opportunistic choices formal continuous improvement (CI) capabilities prove useful. However, despite the well documented advantages of CI management, implementation failures are discouragingly high (Jazayeri and Hopper, 1999). In the quality literature the most...

Use of HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS models with ArcView for hydrologic risk management

The paper discusses how the well known USACE HEC models, RAS and HMS, are fully integrated within the decision support system of the Romagna River Basins in order to predict flood effects. The models are fully available from the web and cope with such a variety of problems as rainfall-runoff modeling, river and civil works hydraulics, and the mapping of hydraulic hazard. The paper illustrates t...

Towards the end of the 1980s, the issue of whether IS case research was rigorously conducted was first raised. Benbasat et al. (1987) and Lee (1989) formulated some key recommendations on how to conduct high quality case study research in our field. Since then, qualitative research, in general, and case research in particular, has evolved and grown considerably. For example, researchers from se...
