In recent years, a renewed interest in value creation for stakeholders has been witnessed different contexts. Different tools have proposed to try grasp and measure such value(s) but, many cases, the main perspective remains that of shareholders. To contribute field research aims discuss novel ways thinking about measurement, this paper addresses relationship between ESG (Environmental, Social,...

In 2006, the National Institute of Standards and Technology conducted an assessment of the U.S. measurement system (USMS), which encompasses all private and public organizations that develop, supply, use, or ensure the validity of measurement results. As part of that assessment, NIST collaborated with Energetics Incorporated to identify and authenticate 723 measurement needs that are barriers t...

This thesis proposes a value robustness approach to architect defense systems and Systems of Systems (SoS). A value robust system or SoS has the ability to provide continued value to stakeholders by performing well to meet the mission intent under a variety of future contexts. The proposed approach encompasses three methods, namely “Needs to Architecture” framework, Multi-Attribute Tradespace E...

Pressure to improve the quality of patient care and control costs have caused a rapid shift from traditional volume-driven fee-for-service reimbursement to value-based payment models. Under the 2015 Medicare Access and Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, providers will be evaluated on the basis of qualit...

A goal of systems development is to produce enduringly valuable product systems—i.e., systems that are valuable when delivered to their users and which continue to be attractive to their stakeholders over time. However, quantifying the life-cycle value (LCV) provided by a system has proven elusive. In this paper, we propose an approach to quantifying a system’s LCV based on the key parameters t...

Supporting public participation is often a key goal in the design of digital government systems. However, years of work may be required before a complex system, such as the UrbanSim urban simulation system, is deployed and ready for such participation. In this paper, we investigate laying the foundations for public participation in advance of wide-scale public deployment, with the goal of havin...

The purpose of e-business models is to show why an e-business case works from an economic perspective. e-Business models are also important to frame the business requirements that must be satisfied by IT systems and networks.
