The ontology of dynamic capabilities (DCs) is grounded in a systemic perspective organisational strategy. In controversial move, DCs theory adopts systems thinking as metaphorical reference, not possible research method. Systemic methodologies can provide holistic management perception and guide managers to develop differently, considering the deliberate learning design process non-linear dynam...

Human resource development practitioners and others do not appear to share a common underlying framework for, and understanding of, “learning style”. Argues that learning style is but one construct which, along with learning preferences and cognitive styles, may be included under the umbrella term “personal style”.

Computational grids involve the intersection of different geographically distributed communities: the resourceusers and the resource-providers. Grid monitoring is required by various super-sets of these communities as everyone wants to know something about how the Grid is performing. Many grid monitoring systems have a top-down prescriptive approach. Grid monitoring is often considered separabl...

Since the rubber units are mostly standardized in the industry, the real engineering and, design challenge is with the steel panels, chains and the corresponding anchorage. The rubber unit is a crucial component of the system, but is only as good as the overall design of the system. SFT has inspected numerous systems of even reputable fender manufacturer, that showed signs of premature failures...
