This study aimed at investigating the author productivity of performance management related to literature in SSCI database within the year of 1976 to 2011 in order to explore the development of this management . The samples from SSCI database include 922 articles for carry out analysis. Furthermore, this study performed the calculation and verification with the author productivity distribution ...

commercial banks and financial institutions are recognizing that they can no longer look at a customer from a specific product but must encompass the entire customer relationship to fully understand a client‘s profitability. from a strategic standpoint, customer relationship management (crm) mobilizes resources around customer relationships rather than product groups and fosters activities that...

The effect of different photoperiods: 24 h illumination and a 12:12-h light/dark (12L:12D) cycle on the growth rate and biomass productivity was studied in five algal species: Neochloris conjuncta, Neochloris terrestris, Neochloris texensis, Botryococcus braunii and Scenedesmus obliquus. The green microalgae examined differ in the reproduction mode. Continuous illumination stimulated the growth...

In this paper, we identify a set of factors that may be used to forecast software productivity and software development time. Software productivity was measured in function points per person hours, and software development time was measured in number of elapsed days. Using field data on over 130 field software projects from various industries, we empirically test the impact of team size, integr...

The concept of productivity is at the heart of economic theory, management science and operational management of firms and organizations. Despite the theoretical and operational importance of this concept, in recent years, its absolutism has been challenged. Services are often at the heart of this critical debate. Both conceptually and methodologically, services are indeed a major challenge to ...

Studying the performance of a distributed system without taking care on the impact of its management system will falsify the understanding of its overall performance, especially its productivity. We propose a metric called MIM (Management Impact Metric) to evaluate this impact by varying one or several impact factors related to the management system within a management strategy of the managed s...

In this paper, we revisit the “IT Productivity Paradox,” which refers to the inconclusive relationship between IT investment and performance improvement found in empirical studies. We argue that the cause of the “IT Productivity Paradox” is more than empirical measurement difficulties. Based on a rather comprehensive review of the literature, we identified and contrasted three underlying theore...

in order to evaluate the possibility and compare different irrigation methods in ricecultivation, an experiment was conducted in factorial based randomized complete blockdesign at rice research institute of iran, mazandaran (amol), during 2011. treatments weredifferent irrigation regimes including alternate wet and drying (awd), semi-dry cultivation(sdc), combining shallow water depth with wett...
