Building Information Modeling
This book presents how Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the use of shared representation of built assets facilitate design, construction and operation processes (ISO 19650). The modeling of public works data disrupts the art of construction. Written by both academics and engineers who are heavily involved in the French research project Modélisation des INformations INteropérables pour les INfrastructues Durables (MINnD) as well as in international standardization projects, this book presents the challenges of BIM from theoretical and practical perspectives. It provides knowledge for evolving in an ecosystem of federated models and common data environments, which are the basis of the...
Pragmatism and Organization Studies
This book aims to make the pragmatist intellectual framework accessible to organization and management scholars. It presents some fundamental concepts of Pragmatism, their potential application to the study of organizations and the resulting theoretical, methodological, and practical issues.
Écologisation
Les questions environnementales contemporaines sont éminemment complexes et réticulaires. La manière privilégiée de les aborder consiste à s'intéresser aux moyens matériels et conceptuels employés par les acteurs eux-mêmes (gestionnaires, experts, riverains, etc.) pour diagnostiquer, pour se coordonner et pour agir. Nous verrons ainsi comment des cartes (d'épandage ou d'un réseau écologique), des schémas (d'aménagement d'un site classé), des fiches projets (d'une politique de conservation de la nature), un tableau (de mise en correspondance des pratiques de consommation et de leurs impacts sur l'environnement), un diagramme (dans le milieu de la production du boeuf bio) ou en...
ICMLG2015-The 3rd International Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance
The conference committee encourages contributions on this wide range of topics through the use of a variety of rigorous approaches, including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative, quantitative and critical methods. Action-based research, case studies and work-in-progress/posters are enthusiastically welcomed. PhD research, proposals for roundtable discussions, practitioner contributions and product demonstrations based on the conference themes are also invited.
A Customer-oriented Manager for B2B Services
The notion of customer orientation is becoming a necessity rather than a choice for many companies. It is a lasting response to competitive pressure and supports the company in a renewed definition of its mission, beyond direct economic gain. Within B2B services, the manager, through proximity to their team, their market and their client, is the essential actor in the deployment of this orientation. A Customer-oriented Manager for B2B Services provides managers with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement customer orientation themselves, with the involvement of their extended team. To this end, this book presents a four-step approach: understand the fundamentals of customer orientation in B2B services, know the customer, make the most of the offer and deliver the service.
Designing Cooperative Systems
The main assumption behind the COOP conferences is that co-operative systems design requires a deep understanding of the co-operative work of dyads, groups and organizations, involving both artefacts and social conventions. The key topic of COOP'2000 was The Use of Theories and Models in Designing Cooperative Systems. Two opposite methodological approaches to co-operative system design can be clearly identified - a pragmatic approach or an approach based on theories and models. Objectives of the COOP'2000 Conference included: clarifying the reasons why one needs or does not need to use a theory or a model for design, comparing the pragmatic and the theory/model-based approaches, and identifying possible joint points between them, discussing the relevance of the theories/models with respect to the design of co-operative systems, to better delimit the respective application fields of the various theories/models, and to identify their possible joint points.
Cooperative Systems Design
A recent conference brought together researchers who contribute to the design of cooperative systems and their integration into organizational settings. The aim of the conference was to advance the understanding and modeling of collaborative work situations which are mediated by technological artefacts, and to highlight the development of design methodologies for cooperative work analysis and cooperative systems design. Papers from the conference reflect the multidisciplinary nature of this area, representing fields such as computer and information sciences, knowledge engineering, distributed artificial intelligence, organizational and management sciences, and ergonomics. There is no subject index. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Cooperative Systems Design
Annotation The main goal of the COOP conferences is to contribute to the solution of problems related to the design of cooperative systems, and to the integration of these systems in organizational settings. The main assumption behind the COOP conferences is that cooperative design requires a deep understanding of cooperative work in groups and organizations, involving both artifacts and social practices. The COOP 2002 conference is mainly devoted to the following issues: the gap between 'virtual' and 'material' artifacts in human collaboration; collaboration among mobile actors; the WWW as a platform for cooperative systems and changing practices and organizations in the wake of the cooperative systems.
Concevoir et construire la décision
Comment la recherche agronomique peut-elle aider à formuler des problèmes de décision ? Comment concevoir des modèles qui intègrent une représentation du processus de décision, développer des outils en anticipant leurs usages et les changements qu'ils induiront ? Comment articuler une démarche d'intervention avec la production de connaissances scientifiques ? Comment analyser et rendre compte des apprentissages dans des situations d'action collective ? Cet ouvrage illustre à quel point tout processus de décision relève d'une activité de conception. Des études de cas liées aux pratiques agricoles et à la gestion de ressources illustrent le propos. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent approfondir leur réflexion sur les démarches de conception, enrichir leurs méthodes pour construire des outils utilisables et éclairer leurs modes d'implication dans l'action collective.
How to Conduct a Practice-based Study
ÔThe variety of approaches that claim to constitute practice-based research are several and varied. Silvia Gherardi cuts through the various approaches to address practice-based research as itself a practice in an invaluable guide for organization and management researchers. Written in a characteristically accessible style, this volume is an indispensable guide.Õ Ð Stewart Clegg, University of Technology Business School, Sydney, Australia The practice-based approach to the study of work and organizing has been widely adopted in recent years, yet its theoretical and methodological systematization has only just begun. Silvia Gherardi expertly provides an overview on the topics and issues ad...
