Using a case study approach, this article explores the benefits of leveraging human readiness levels (HRLs) in conjunction with Human Systems Integration (HSI). The U.S. Army’s HSI program emphasizes front-end planning and emphasizes the use of soldier feedback to maximize influence on system design; however, it does not provide the methods by which this should be accomplished nor does it specify the metrics or measures for assessing the progress. This case study applies HRLs to an army software modernization program and provides an in-depth analysis of the HSI activities performed and the extent to which they addressed each question in the HRL scales.

Abstract This paper investigates the basic risk and incentives relationship in franchising companies. The results of past research reflect volatile influence of risk and incentives. An in-depth analysis of this relationship was conducted using case study approach, including 12 international franchise firms of two types. Our study included retail and service franchising. Findings from this research confirm basic agency theory predictions. The risk-incentives relationship is negatively correlated in retail franchise companies, due to lower royalties in the sector. Service franchise companies do not follow the same concept, due to their adaptability of franchise system to local markets. We believe service franchise systems might be responsible for volatility. However, both types of companies nurture and develop strategies based on experience and intuition. Findings of the research offer important insights in understanding the nature of franchisor’s risk perception, as the basic underlying mechanism to the risk and incentives relationship.

Scenario Technique

AbstractTo enhance the success of innovations, various methods for foresight have been developed. Automatization yields the potential of shifting effort away from the process to the actual in-depth analysis of resulting scenarios in scenario-technique. Within this paper, an approach based on a user-specific classification of input factors (consistency values) is presented. Generic consistency patterns used for a semi-automatized consistency assessment based on artificial neural networks are identified using a case study approach. Hereby, the effort for scenario-technique can be reduced significantly.

This study uses descriptive qualitative research with case study approach, according to Kumar (1999), a case study is an approach to examine social phenomena through the analysis of individual cases completely and accurately, as well as providing an analysis of intensive than many specific details that are often overlooked by Other research methods. Meanwhile, according to Pollit and Hungler (1999) interpret the case study as a research method that uses in-depth analysis, which is done carefully and completely to an individual, family, group, institution, or other social units. The results showed interest in learning PGSD students on the course the basic concepts of science is low, the study documentation on the midtest course the basic concepts of science and interviews explaining there are several factors that affect low interest student learning is the educational background of students, the ability of lecturers, weight and material science courses basic concepts, means of supporting lectures and lecture schedule.
