We propose a modular approach of term rewriting systems, making the best of their hierarchical structure. We define rewriting modules and then provide a new method to prove termination incrementally. We obtain new and powerful termination criteria for standard rewriting. Our policy of restraining termination itself (thus relaxing constraints over hierarchies components) together with the genera...

Case-studies have been carried out, success factors have been investigated, and methods for information strategy planning have been examined. However, one does not find a sound conceptual foundation . of the planning for information systems in literature. Based on the strategy models o...

Environmental analysts are often hampered in communicating the risks of environmental contaminants due to the myriad of regulatory requirements that are applicable. The use of a qualitative, risk-based control banding strategy for assessment and control of potential environmental contaminants provides a standardized approach to improve risk communication. Presented is a model that provides an e...

A vast literature supports the notion that green human resource management leads to superior environmental performance. This study argues innovation, strategy and pro-environmental behaviour facilitate relationship between performance in manufacturing industry of developing countries. To test mediating effect innovation alongside moderating role proposed model, we collected analysed data from 4...
