The ever severe dynamic competitive environment has led to increasing complexity of strategic decision making in giant organizations. Strategy formulation is one of basic processes in achieving long range goals. Since, in ordinary methods considering all factors and their significance in accomplishing individual goals are almost impossible. Here, a new approach based on clustering method is pro...

In this paper, we present a novel strategy to compute minimum-time trajectories for quadrotors in constrained environments. In particular, we consider the motion in a given flying region with obstacles and take into account the physical limitations of the vehicle. Instead of approaching the optimization problem in its standard time-parameterized formulation, the proposed strategy is based on an...

This study examined the effect of human resource strategy formulation process on HR outcome. Drawing three modes namely rational, adaptive, and interactive, a cross-sectional research design was adopted. Using structured questionnaires, data were collected from managers/ directors 53 state corporations in Tanzania. Correlations analysis also performed to find out direction relationship among va...

Although numerous studies acknowledge that strategies frequently fail not because of inadequate strategy formulation, but because of insufficient implementation, strategy implementation has received less research attention than strategy formulation. In this study, we review the factors that enable or impede effective strategy implementation, and survey the state-of-the-art in this domain. We hi...

Given a document d, the task of text reuse detection is to find those passages in d which in identical or paraphrased form also appear in other documents. To solve this problem at web-scale, keywords representing d’s topics have to be combined to web queries. The retrieved web documents can then be delivered to a text reuse detection system for an in-depth analysis. We focus on the query formul...
