Tactical Management is an area where businesses can pursue competitive advantage. Lately, it has been under-addressed and even ingested by operational and strategic trends in Management and Information Systems. It needs adaptability as managerial way of thinking and acting along with proper information requirements recognition, in order for the person performing the tactical management function...

The fundamental tactical principles of the game of soccer represent a set of action rules that guide behaviours related to the management of game space. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of fundamental offensive and defensive tactical principles among youth soccer players from 12 to 17 years old. The sample consisted of 3689 tactical actions performed by 48 soccer players in ...

Many challenges remain in the development of tactical planning systems that will enable automated, cooperative replanning of routes and mission assignments for multiple unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) under changing environmental and tactical conditions. We have developed such a planning system that uses an evolutionary algorithm to assign waypoints and mission goals to multiple UGVs so that th...

The mobile tactical network is a practical implementation of the mobile ad hoc network. Formed across tactical radios operating in the military very high frequency and low ultrahigh frequency bands, the mobile tactical network has distinctive characteristics when compared with generic mobile ad hoc networks, in particular with respect to its network topological behaviors and connectivity attrib...

The United States Army is engaged in an effort to use information systems to achieve tactical advantage over potential adversaries. Existing and future information systems place a significant load on the tactical network, resulting in a bandwidth management crisis. Yet, there is no prioritization, allocation, planning, or management tool available to simulate information flows over time for dif...

My keynote lecture focused on tactical creativity in team and racket sport and how coaches and teachers can foster it in training and PE. I started by contextualizing the value of tactical creativity using current statements from world soccer coupled with empirical data. Subsequent to this, the term tactical creativity is operationally defined in team and racket sports, its development is discu...

In this paper, it was an attempt to be present a practical perishability inventory model. The proposed model adds using spoilage of products and variable prices within a time period to a recently published location-inventory-routing model in order to make it more realistic. Aforementioned model by integration of strategic, tactical and operational level decisions produces better results for sup...

A framework for tactical situation awareness is presented and used to compare current technology systems with a prototype system supporting tactical situation awareness. The prototype, which is being developed by Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) at Edinburgh in its Experimental Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Technology Environment (EXC3ITE), inte...

The aim of this study is to compare game principles performed by 18 youth soccer players taking into account the tactical principles of the game, the action’s place and respective outcome. The sample comprised 763 tactical actions performed by soccer players from one Portuguese club. The test "GK3-3GK" was used to provide the evaluation of tactical actions according to ten basic tactical princi...

Abstract. An automorphism group of an incidence structure I induces a tactical decomposition on I. It is well known that tactical decompositions of t-designs satisfy certain necessary conditions which can be expressed as equations in terms of the coefficients of tactical decomposition matrices. In this article we present results obtained for tactical decompositions of q-analogs of t-designs, mo...
