This paper explores the different aspects and sources of interaction that ERP projects face in multiple projects environment. It adopts Actor Network Theory conceptualisation of network and network building to examine a case study of implementing ERP system in a reputable international organisation. It reveals that ERP project interacts not only with other IS projects as literature on IS projec...

A mathematical policy model of oak woodlands is presented. The model illustrates the policy uncertainties that exist in the management of oak woodlands. These uncertainties include: (1) selection of a policy criterion function, (2) woodland dynamics, (3) initial and final state of the woodland stock. The paper provides a review of each of the uncertainty issues. The final section of the paper d...

The term computational Grid is used to describe a problem solving environment in which geographically and organizationally dispersed resources are integrated into a common infrastructure. Building computational Grids requires the existence of a resource management framework that provides a unique and secure interface to the reservation and allocation capabilities offered by the various local re...

Climate finance investments and international policy are driving new community-based projects incorporating payments for ecosystem services (PES) to simultaneously store carbon and generate livelihood benefits. Most community-based PES (CB-PES) research focuses on forest areas. Rangelands, which store globally significant quantities of carbon and support many of the world's poor, have seen litt...
