Role Of Information

This chapter summarizes the current state of practice in the application of information technology (IT) for knowledge exchange amongst key health care stakeholders: healthcare consumers, health service providers, and researchers. The objectives are to review the practices that facilitate collaboration amongst stakeholders, the role of new technologies in facilitating exchange of information amongst key stakeholders, and the role of three key stakeholders as creators, consumers, and/or translators of information. The emphasis is on exploring an increasingly collaborative exchange of knowledge online.

Research on vibration of soils and foundations has yielded several fundamental methods for formulation of interaction problems. This paper is intended to survey the development of the current state-of-practice for design and analysis of dynamically loaded foundations. Extensive studies in this field utilize various linear mathematical models for interaction between foundations and different soil media. The effective analytical, numerical and experimental techniques and their methodologies which are well established for treating problems in dynamic soil-foundation interaction are outlined. Described techniques are categorized based upon formulation procedures and their applications. Some areas are indicated where further research is needed.

Liquefaction Assessment

This overview introduces a series of six papers describing the approach taken in a recent dam safety study to evaluate the liquefaction potential and deformation behaviour for the current seismic setting of Duncan Dam. The dam was originally designed and built in the mid-1960s and is an embankment structure founded on a thick sequence of glacial sediments. The papers were initially presented by a team of B.C. Hydro and their consultants at a specialty session held at the 46th Annual Canadian Conference in Saskatoon in September 1993. The papers provide an excellent summary of the current state of practice in evaluating liquefaction and post-liquefaction behaviour. Key words : embankment, liquefaction, seismic, specialty session.

Strategic Perspective

Despite growing interest about a strategic perspective on knowledge management (KM), there is still a lack of a procedure and methods to guide the implementation of KM strategies. In this paper, we review the current state of practice of KM initiatives and identify four scenarios for potentially successful KM initiatives. The majority of organizations can be described as being a knowledge management starter. In order to improve these KM initiatives and link them to business strategy, we suggest a process‐oriented knowledge management approach as a step to bridge the gap between human‐ and technology‐oriented KM. This approach is outlined with the help of the four levels of intervention: (1) strategy, (2) KM organization and processes, (3) topics/content, and (4) instruments/systems. The definition and implementation of a process‐oriented KM strategy in a large transaction bank will serve as an example to illustrate the application of our approach.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the extent to which the Ontario warehousing industry has embraced environmental sustainability within its business strategy. This will provide a needed baseline on the current state of practice in the Province. This could also lay the foundation for future work in Ontario, particularly with respect to where improvements can be made. Data was collected through a review of Leonard’s Guide, a content analysis of publicly available information, and a survey of warehousing companies in Ontario. Multiple methods of collecting data were utilized for triangulation and to protect against the possibility not enough data would be available by one alone. The findings indicate that there have been some inroads made in implementing environmental sustainability programs within the warehousing industry of Ontario, but there is still room for improvement. The findings also indicate that third-party logistics (3PL) are more likely than warehousing/distribution companies to implement environmental sustainability programs, as are companies which had their trade areas beyond the borders of Canada.
