A Guide to Extracting Information from Environmental Pressure Groups

This paper examines the relationship between environmental pressure groupsand environmental policy makers. Environmental pressure groups are assumedto possess valuable private information on environmental issues.Environmental pressure groups are also assumed to pursue their ownpreferences, which are only partially correlated with policy makers'preferences. A new aspect is that binding contracts with side payments arenot allowed, which accurately describes the interaction betweenenvironmental pressure groups and governments. It is shown that by choosingprobabilities of acting on environmental pressure groups' signals, adecision maker can force environmental pressure groups to reveal superiorinformation even in the absence of binding contracts.     

Understanding New Resource Projects

The surge in new resource projects has been a prominent feature of the recent strong performance of the Australian economy, with mining and energy investment accounting for almost one‐half of all private investment. Although the current round of resource investment has now peaked, as swings in the resource sector tend to repeat themselves, there is an ongoing need to carefully understand the available information sources. We use a specially developed panel of matched projects from three widely followed, but under‐researched, sources to analyze cost inflation, the biases, the degree of independence, and timeliness of each source. This information is of use to policy makers who have to closely monitor these developments, analysts following the resources sector, and project proponents wanting to know something about the typical cost profile of a project.

信息资源获取对企业虚拟化经营的影响研究

信息资源是企业运营的重要资源要素,信息资源获取的成本及障碍在很大程度上会影响企业组织形态的安排及经营方式的选择。企业虚拟化经营是在信息技术高度发达的环境下企业为提高竞争力和市场应变能力、优化资源配置而采取的一种经营方式。信息技术越发达、信息成本越小,越有助于企业虚拟化经营的实施;相对于实体企业而言,企业虚拟化经营有助于减少信息资源获取的障碍。     

科技成果转化项目的模糊PROMETHEE评价方法

针对科技成果转化政府资助项目的评审问题,给出了一种带有模糊信息的项目评价和排序方法。考虑到科技成果转化项目多指标决策中普遍存在弱优先性和不可比性的客观现实,引入了PROMETHEE法,基于项目评价指标具有模糊性和不确定性的特点,用三角形模糊数的概念对其进行改进,同时给出了相应的算法。最后,给出了一个算例以说明提出方法的应用。     

A Framework for Stakeholder Integration in Higher Education Information Systems Projects

Concern that universities are struggling with the complexities inherent in the implementation of their information systems prompted the HEFCE sponsored study, reported herein. The purpose of the research was to provide a basis for improving the likelihood of success, when undertaking university-based Information System (IS) projects; the particular focus being on ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) based integrated systems. The research outcome was an IS project management framework to provide general guidance and a bridge for co-operation between the very different stakeholder groups involved in such endeavours. Typically these would include senior university management, project teams (including consultants, where appropriate) and system vendors.

A Brief Methodological Guide to Scenario Building

This brief guide reviews the philosophical underpinnings of the prospective procedure then strives to explain the concepts and characteristics of this “intellectual undiscipline” which aims not to predict but rather to help shape the future. La prospective contributes to our efforts to gain foresight, an indispensable quality for anyone who wants to be an actor in a future yet to be created. The various stages of the procedure are presented, in particular the scenario method as applied by the author in local, national, and international futures projects for subjects as varied as aging populations, retirement in industrialized countries, and the impact of new technology on production.
