The study attempted to look at the influence of individual factors (creative behavior and practical intelligence), process factors (participation in decision making and quality of communication) and context factors (trust in management and history of change) on employee readiness for change to transformational changes. Commitment to change and its three dimensions- affective, continuance and no...

the present research aims to develop a model and assess changeability grounds in public organizations. the statistical population includes public organizations in the cities of lamerd and mohr. the research includes three fundamental stages, each of which tries to answer a key question. to devise a proper model, we initially study the theoretical literature of change management and the resistan...

This empirical-exploratory article sheds light on the change management approaches used by Chinese owner-managers of small firms in Singapore and their openness toward strategic learning. The paper examines widespread common-sense assumptions that ethnic Chinese adopt mostly directive-coercive (autocratic) change management approaches, which may stifle innovation. Great diversity exists amongst...

The restricted definition of ‘‘climate change’’ used by the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) has profoundly affected the science, politics, and policy processes associated with the international response to the climate issue. Specifically, the FCCC definition has contributed to the gridlock and ineffectiveness of the global response to the challenge of climate change. This paper ar...

The need for climate change information at the regional-to-local scale is one of the central issues within the global change debate. Such information is necessary in order to assess the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems and to develop suitable adaptation and mitigation strategies at the national level. The end-user and policy-making communities have long sought reliable reg...

In this paper, an approach to reducing the effects of registration noise in unsupervised change detection is proposed. The approach is formulated in the framework of the change vector analysis (CVA) technique. It is composed of two main phases. The first phase aims at estimating in an adaptive way (given the specific pair of images considered) the registration-noise distribution in the magnitud...
