Background: Financial institutions in South Africa are implementing business process re-engineering (BPR) on a regular basis because of the fast-changing industry. However, the success of these projects is low because of the lack of clearly defined roles, an unclear definition of what BPR is, the inability to link BPR projects to organisation strategies and the lack of documentation to guide BPR activities. Accordingly, there is a need to define a framework to guide the implementation of BPR projects.Objectives: The researchers embarked on this study in order to define a framework to ensure improvement of BPR in financial institutions. The framework should assist in providing guidelines when conducting BPR activities and will enable plans for BPR projects in terms of knowing which skills and roles to source for these projects.Method: A conceptual BPR framework was developed and BPR experts from financial institutions were then engaged to determine whether the framework would work. The engagements included understanding the challenges faced and how they could be combated, understanding the roles involved and determining if organisations had BPR frameworks in place. This subsequently led to a final framework being consolidated.Results: This study presents the recommended BPR framework that can be used by financial institutions to achieve success in their projects. The framework incorporates project management and change management processes and ensures alignment of BPR activities with the project phases. It also ensures that the activities are clearly stipulated and the roles performing the activities are clearly defined. It considers time management, planning aspects and effective communication within BPR projects.Conclusion: The proposed framework can be used by financial institutions to manage their re-engineering projects. This framework overcomes most of the known challenges and combines two disciplines, that is, project management and business process re-engineering.

Web-based Learning Environments (WBLE) carry conditions that affect the learning process. Network collaboration among peers, multimedia information processing and distance are some of the eLearning features that create flexible environments, which in turn demand the eLearner to take control over the learning process. Since 1995 we have conducted a longitudinal research aimed at identifying the eLearner’s needs for support. The study has led to the operationalization of a set of self-management processes necessary to a WBLE. The framework guiding the research borrows from theory and practice of adult and distance learning as well as findings from metacognitive studies. This paper presents the conceptual model of tasks, objects and resources resulting from this research. The usefulness of such a model is exemplified by interactive tools designed to support time management.

Specific features of the enterprise competitiveness management (like real-time management) set up the need of replace of the occasional analytical work by the competitiveness monitoring system.When forming an information base for monitoring the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise, its sectoral features should be taken into account, therefore, the purpose of the article is to identify and justify industry specific features and principles for monitoring of the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise.The research is based on a dialectical approach to the study of the parameters of the enterprise's competitiveness, which are usually combined into an information base for monitoring with the selection of parameters: the market level of the competitiveness of the enterprise; production and economic level of the competitiveness of the enterprise; product level of the competitiveness of the enterprise.The industry-specific features that determine the specifics of the monitoring competitiveness of an enterprise are identified, namely: the features of the products (its science-consuming complexity, the complexity of the design, etc.); features of operational characteristics of the products; features of the main production processes; features of the technological base of the main production; features of the professional and qualification composition of employees; features of the organization of management processes in the enterprise.Disclosure of the main features of monitoring of the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise were related to establish and implement the principles for such monitoring.Therefore, the article formulates the principles of monitoring of the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise as the fundamental rules which establish a constant correlation of its elements and procedures that make up its essence.The principles of monitoring of the competitiveness of an industrial enterprise, supplemented by specific features, allow us to justify a set of investigated parameters of an industrial enterprise, to make a quantitative assessment of the current state of the object in comparison with past trends and to predict the future state of the object.

Delays have been frequently reported as the cause of several conflicts that affect the different parties involved in construction projects. Project Time Management (PTM) includes a number of planning and controlling processes that are recommended for complying with requirements related to project time. The study reported in this paper aimed at assessing the use of PTM processes and its relation with project schedule performance (i.e., timely completion). Seven PTM processes and seventy-seven tasks associated with them were identified from the literature that is globally relevant to project management. The study included the assessment of fourteen school construction projects executed by a public agency in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. These projects were monitored during the construction phase in order to measure two different variables: the use of processes related to PTM (i.e., schedule planning and controlling processes) and the project schedule performance. For each of these projects a Use Index was obtained for assessing the first variable, while the Schedule Performance Index and the Schedule Variance were computed to assess the second one. The results demonstrated there is statistical dependence between these two variables. Most of the projects that attained timely completion also made a greater use of the PTM processes.

This paper presents strategies for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the school-based speech-language pathologist. Various time management strategies are adapted and outlined for three major areas of concern: using time, organizing the work area, and managing paper work. It is suggested that the use of such methods will aid the speech-language pathologist in coping with federal, state, and local regulations while continuing to provide quality therapeutic services.

Abstract. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of exposure to a computer game on arousal and subsequent task performance. After inducing a state of low arousal, participants were assigned to experimental or control conditions via self-selection. Members of the experimental group played a computer game for five minutes; subjects in the control group spent the same amount of time awaiting further instructions. Participants who were exposed to the computer game showed significantly higher levels of arousal and performed significantly better on a subsequent cognitive task. The pattern of results was not influenced by the participants' prior experience with the game. The findings indicate that mood-management processes associated with personal media use at the workplace go beyond the alteration of arousal and affect subsequent cognitive performance.
