Contingency theory provides a theoretical framework for analysing the implementation differences in the configuration of Information Systems for Continuous Replenishment in the retail sector. The configuration can be broken down into three arrangements: data processing and sharing arrangement, technical arrangement, and information management arrangement. The contingency factors, and their infl...

Requirements elicitation has been recognized as a critical stage in system development projects, yet current models prescribing particular elicitation techniques are still limited in their development and application. This research reviews efforts aimed at addressing this, and synthesizes a common structure consisting of project contingencies, elicitation techniques, logic of fit, and a success...

In Action in Perception Alva Noë develops and presents a sensorimotor account of vision and of visual consciousness. According to such an account seeing (and indeed perceiving more generally) is analysed as a kind of skilful bodily activity. Such a view is consistent with the emerging emphasis, in both philosophy and cognitive science, on the critical role of embodiment in the construction of i...

Identifying the multiple critical components in power systems whose absence together has severe impact on system performance is a crucial problem for known as $(N-x)$ contingency analysis. However, inherent combinatorial feature of nota...

One of the main assertions of sensorimotor contingency theory is that sensory experience is not generated by activating an internal representation of the outside world through sensory signals, but corresponds to a mode of exploration and hence is an active process. Perception and sensory awareness emerge from using the structure of changes in the sensory input resulting from these exploratory a...

despite the fact that it has become a fundamental variable for organizational design very few studies have been done to explore this vital issue in a systematic and convincing fashion. indeed, the small amount of information and few theories available on organizational design in general and much less on the effects of it on organization design is surprising. most studies on the effects of it on...

The associative sequence learning model proposes that the development of the mirror system depends on the same mechanisms of associative learning that mediate Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning. To test this model, two experiments used the reduction of automatic imitation through incompatible sensorimotor training to assess whether mirror system plasticity is sensitive to contingency (i.e....

Organisations that engage in research activities with industry and academic partners face many challenges in the effective management of such collaborative projects. These projects have different facets which even change over time. Examples are explorative and creative phases in which innovative research ideas and results are investigated, followed by concrete development tasks that aim at vali...
