Based on the studies of existing informatization maturity model at home and abroad the paper puts forward a new enterprise Informatization Maturity Model. The authors collected the opinions of fifteen well-known Chinese informatization experts about the model by Delphi method. Through statistical analysis, it can be found that the extent of the experts’ acceptance is very high. According to the...

The results of an international Delphi poll on information linguistics which was carried out between 1982 and 1983 are presented. As part of conceptual work being done in information science at the University of Constance an international Delphi poll wss carried out from 1982 to 1983 with the aim of establishing a mid-term pro@aosis for the development of "information linguistics". The term "in...

10.2305/IUCN.CH.2016.PARKS-22-1BPS.en ABSTRACT Effective management of protected areas relies on good governance. An assessment was undertaken using the standards provided by the United Nations Development Programme’s characteristics of good governance for sustainable development as a starting point. Being able to assess governance based on indicators is essential for ongoing effective manageme...

[//121] The Delphi technique of aggregating the forecasts of a number of experts on multidisciplinary issues/1/ is a recent development in long-range forecasting. By sequentially polling the experts' opinions, interspersed with feedback of information on the just-previous poll to the experts, consensus is generated. Meanwhile, anonymity is guaranteed in the polling procedures so that social psy...

Received: June 11, 2009 Revised: August 6, 2009 Accepted: September 14, 2009 The implementation of a business intelligence (BI) system is a complex undertaking requiring considerable resources. Yet there is a limited authoritative set of critical success factors (CSFs) for management reference because the BI market has been driven mainly by the IT industry and vendors. This research seeks to br...

Many researches on how price bundling affects bundle purchasing in the marketing field have been discussed, but an analytic evaluation of customer value offered by product bundles is still lacking. By combining „Delphi method‟, „Fuzzy analytical network process‟ (FANP) and „Extent analysis‟, an integrated decision making method has developed and applied in evaluating cosmetic bundles. Based on ...

This Delphi study identifies problems that have significant impacts on profits gained from large engineering and construction projects in a European company. Information quality gained remarkable weight among the identified problems. The problems were ranked in accordance to their estimated impact on the project profit margins. Within a consolidated list of 125 problems identified altogether, t...

The decay width of the Z gauge boson into three jets has already been computed at the leading order (LO) including complete quark mass effects [1–3] where it has been shown that mass effects could be as large as 1% to 6%, depending on the value of the mass and the jet resolution parameter yc. In fact, these effects had already been seen in the experimental tests of the flavor independence of th...

The experimental results on the falling down of scaled factorial moments in azimuthal variable φ is studied in some detail. It is shown that this phenomenon may be referred to the influence of transverse momentum conservation. The existing experimental data from DELPHI, EMU08, NA22 and UA1 are successfully explained. Various methods are proposed to partly eliminate this influence and rule out t...
