We study dominant strategy implementation especially in economic environments. Wefirst show that in general environments, strategy-proofness and quasi-strong-non-bossiness together are necessary and sufficient for dominant strategy implementation via the associated direct revelationmechanism. Wenext prove that in weak separable environments, strategy-proofness is sufficient for dominant strateg...

Background and Objectives: Balanced Scorecard is an increasingly popular tool for performance evaluation. Healthcare organizations have broadly adopted this method for implementing their strategic plans. There is, however, increasing concerns on barriers to balanced scorecard implementation. Built on the fundamental impacts of organizational culture on hospital performance, this study explored ...

In this paper, one-cycle control (OCC), as a constant-frequency PWM control strategy for current control of a six-switch brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive is investigated. Developed current regulator is a unified controller and PWM modulator. Employing the one-cycle control strategy, decreases the torque ripple resulted from the conventional hysteresis current controllers and therefore, the vibra...

Although numerous studies acknowledge that strategies frequently fail not because of inadequate strategy formulation, but because of insufficient implementation, strategy implementation has received less research attention than strategy formulation. In this study, we review the factors that enable or impede effective strategy implementation, and survey the state-of-the-art in this domain. We hi...

Abstract Background Implementation strategies have flourished in an effort to increase integration of research evidence into clinical practice. Most are complex, socially mediated processes. Many complicated, expensive, and ultimately impractical deliver real-world settings. The field lacks methods assess the extent which usable aligned with needs constraints individuals contexts who will or re...

This paper presents a novel robust fractional PIλ controller design for flexible joint electrically driven robots. Because of using voltage control strategy, the proposed approach is free of problems arising from torque control strategy in the design and implementation. In fact, the motor's current includes the effects of nonlinearities and coupling in the robot manipulator. Therefore, cancella...

purpose-the research aims at evaluating the standardization/adaptation of international marketing strategy in iran multinational companies (mncs) based a model in which the impact of external environmental variables on the marketing mix internal variables (i.e. product, promotion, price and place) is considered, while in the previous researches no attempt was done to examine the interdependency...

BACKGROUND The Alphabet Strategy (AS) is a diabetes care checklist ensuring "important, simple things are done right all the time." Current audits of diabetes care in developed countries reveal wide variations in quality with performance of care processes frequently sub-optimal. This study had three components:• an audit to assess diabetes care quality worldwide,• a questionnaire study seeking ...

There are many barriers to implementation of knowledge management (KM) strategies. These include a lack of time and financial resources allocated to sharing knowledge, a lack of organizational understanding of the philosophy and the benefits of KM and a lack of skills in KM. However survey data shows that greatest acknowledged obstacle to the implementation of a KM strategy is the management cu...
