Process management and process innovation often cause confusion to managers. This study aims to clarify the differences between process management and process innovation and the proper timings for their respective applications. The study uses the S-Curve of the technology development cycle to explain the roles that process management and process innovation play during the cycle and to make sugg...

The GPS system improvement and the Galileo system development will increase the signal availability and therefore the GNSS system-based applications. The great evolution of GNSS based application will imply the growth of precise and fast navigation systems. The performances of GNSS systems are mostly influenced by the accuracy of the synchronization modules. In fact, loss of fine tracking means...

(4) Let G be a Go-board, p be a point of E2 T, and i, j be natural numbers. Suppose 1 ≤ i and i + 1 ≤ lenG and 1 ≤ j and j + 1 ≤ widthG. Then p ∈ Intcell(G, i, j) if and only if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) (G◦ (i, j))1 < p1, (ii) p1 < (G◦ (i+1, j))1, (iii) (G◦ (i, j))2 < p2, and (iv) p2 < (G◦ (i, j +1))2. (5) For every non constant standard special circular sequence f holds BDD ...

We consider the allocation of a limited budget to a set of activities or investments in order to maximize return from investment. In a number of practical contexts (e.g., advertising), the return from investment in an activity is effectively modeled using an S-curve, where increasing returns to scale exist at small investment levels, and decreasing returns to scale occur at high investment leve...

For a class of two-point boundary value problems we prove exactness of S-shaped bifurcation curve. Our result applies to a problem from combustion theory, which involves nonlinearities like e for a > 0.

New and refurbished non-domestic buildings are failing to live up their anticipated performance. Shortfalls show in excess energy consumption, high carbon dioxide emissions other failings quantitative qualitative performance metrics. This paper describes the component parts of gap using evidence from building evaluations. It introduces a way visualising consequences decisions actions that known...
