The main objective of the present study is to utilize a novel linearization strategy to linearize the convection terms of the quasi-one-dimensional Euler governing equations on collocated grids and to examine its shock-capturing capabilities. To avoid a pressure checkerboard problem on the collocated grids, it is necessary to utilize two velocity definitions at each cell face. Similarly, we def...

determining strategy, as a very effective tool for policy (and especially science and technology policy), helps governments to be able in the challenges such as globalization and increased competition, and have an appropriate respond in the world today. although some scattered researches about strategy determining have been conducted in iran, the purpose of them is to recognize the future of it...

In this paper the focus is on the strategy formulation processes, specifically supportive methods and structures, which address various managerial issues concerning discontinuous technologies and radical innovation in the early phase of strategic decision-making. In three in-depth case studies how companies proceeded with discontinuous technology and radical innovation ideas in strategy formula...

The paper discusses how the calibration and use of a Computer Based Learning Environment (CBLE), which is based on a system dynamics model, can form the basis of strategy formulation processes at the operations level. The rationale behind, the structure and the elements of the SYDMAS CBLE, as well as its embedment in a scenario-driven manufacturing strategy formulation process are presented. Th...

vital decisions made at the strategic level in an organization are not only intricate but also costly to alter. it is therefore important to find a comprehensive approach to deal with such a possibility. one of the major problems of a common balanced scorecard (bsc)-based model in strategic management is lack of a ranking system for strategic objectives in order to enable prioritization of the ...

This research analyses how the interaction between strategy capabilities, strategy types, strategy formulation quality and strategy implementation capability affects organizational performance in the Brazilian textiles companies. A conceptual framework was proposed and tested, with data from 211 firms. It was found a support for links between organizational capabilities and strategies types. It...

ii Manufacturing strategy formulation in small and medium-sized enterprises MALIN LÖFVING Doktorsavhandlingar vid Chalmers tekniska högskola Ny serie nr 3689 ISSN 0346 – 718X ABSTRACT Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of any national economy and key drivers for economic growth. To sustain their competitiveness, it is essential that SMEs take advantage of their capabilit...

The Sato-Crutchfield equations are studied analytically and numerically. The Sato-Crutchfield formulation is corresponding to losing memory. Then Sato-Crutchfield formulation is applied for some different types of games including hawk-dove, prisoner’s dilemma and the battle of the sexes games. The Sato-Crutchfield formulation is found not to affect the evolutionarily stable strategy of the ordi...
