A generalized improvement procedure for variance bounds for minimum variance unbiased estimator in inverse sampling

New bounds are obtained for the variance of the minimum variance unbiased estimator of p i n inverse sampling. A generalized procedure for further improving the bounds is also discussed.     

The Effectiveness of Risk Management: An Analysis of Project Risk Planning Across Industries and Countries

This article examines the effectiveness of current risk management practices to reduce project risk using a multinational, multi‐industry study across different scenarios and cultures. A survey was administered to 701 project managers, and their supervisors, in seven industries and three diverse countries (New Zealand, Israel, and Japan), in multiple languages during the 2002–2007 period. Results of this study show that project context—industry and country where a project is executed—significantly impacts perceived levels of project risk, and the intensity of risk management processes. Our findings also suggest that risk management moderates the relationship between risk level and project success. Specifically, we found that even moderate levels of risk management planning are sufficient to reduce the negative effect risk levels have on project success.     

Systems innovation manager

Each year organizations spend a significant amount of money developing new products and processes in an effort to satisfy customer demands and manufacture high-quality products efficiently. Both development processes - product and process, are complex, resource intensive and thrive on innovation. They demand a variety of skills and resources, but in particular, participation among all staff in generating ideas, managing projects and implementing change. There are currently a number of software tools and methods that facilitate change in a systems environment. These range from complex modelling tools to information management tools. The tools have been developed around paradigms, e.g. world class manufacturing, total quality management and business process reengineering. They are often complex, requiring the efforts of skilled designers and managers. Current thinking within a systems environment reflects a more participative and less specialist approach to managing innovation and change. There is a need to create compromise between detailed project engineering and good management practice. This paper introduces a new paradigm centred on good management practice, and identifies the critical issues in systems innovation and change. The paradigm is articulated through a series of change levers and a methodology that guides managers and designers. It is supported by a series of software tools that together bring innovation management to life within the industrial organization.

对王蒙早期文学创作的成功学解读

王蒙以独特的思想和标新立异的艺术实践，成为中国当代文学史不可或缺的存在。那么，王蒙在文学创作上又是怎样获得成功的呢？从成功学有关明确的目标、积极的心态、正确的思想方法等三个方面，以《王蒙自传》为依托（也就是说，本文建构的逻辑起点是基于对其自传的真实性认同的基点上展开的，侧重其前期文学创作的成功）对之进行解读，可以发掘出王蒙的文学创作获得成功的内在规律。     

项目风险分析与管理

本文在分析比较传统风险分析方法的基础上,提出了一个更为有效的风险分析方法,即“交叉分析-蒙特卡罗模拟”综合模型。并利用此模型对H集团的某技改投资项目进行了案例分析。在此基础上,提出了建立项目风险防范预警系统的风险管理模式。     

明治政府教育改革的特点及成功原因探析

明治维新是日本发展史上的一个重大转折点.以此为契机,日本开始全面效仿西方,从教育、军事、政治、法律、医学到思想意识形态,无一不渗透着西洋的因素,日本的这次全面彻底的改革也反映了日本社会深层次的、对中西文化的吸收和包容.从明治时期的教育改革入手,通过对其特点的分析,进一步揭示其改革成功的原因.     

科学成功与真理

实在论的“无奇迹论证”把真理当做对科学成功的说明,但无论采取严格意义上的“真”还是宽松意义上的“似真”,历史表明真理与科学成功之间没有必然的关系。分析表明,反实在论和非实在论对理论成功提供的说明要么是同义反复,要么就是不可避免地滑向实在论的说明,因此真理或近似为真成了理论成功惟一可以称得上自然的终极说明。但接受这种说明的前提是我们必须修改对真理的传统定义,并采取对科学的信任态度。
