Similar Description

Organizational design is currently, to a certain extent, a new direction of research, the goal of combining modern achievements in the field of production organization, design analysis, project management, planning, control and management of organizational behavior to create new competitive organizations or improve (increase the efficiency) of those that are already carrying out business activities. The study of the content of "organizational design" gave grounds to generalize the opinion of scientists and determine that organizational design is an extremely complex process of creating an organization design in which all elements of the system should be optimally combined so that it allows to implement the strategy and achieve the goals of the business entity. This process has its own tasks, subject, object and principles of implementation. It was found that scientists distinguish two groups of approaches to determining the content of the organizational design process: object (information, target, system-target) and subjective (game). Attention is focused on the fact that now in the scientific literature it is most often recommended to use three approaches to organizational design, namely: normative-functional (experimental-statistical, function-oriented), functional-technological (process-technological), object-target (object-synergetic approach), the advantages and disadvantages of each of them are considered. It was found that the methods of organizational design are classified from the standpoint of production (method of analogies, typical design, program-target method, simulation modeling) and from the standpoint of management (method of analogies, expert-analytical, method of structuring goals, organizational design), the advantages of each method are determined. It is noted that domestic scientists agree with the expediency of using the considered methods of organizational design and give a similar description of their content, but divide them into two groups: methods of a qualitative nature (analogy method, method of standard structures, expert-analytical method, method of goal structuring); formalized methods (regression, models, optimization models, organizational modeling).

Many researchers have demonstrated that the organizational design employed by an agent system can have a significant, quantitative effect on its performance characteristics. A range of organizational strategies have emerged from this line of research, each with different strengths and weaknesses. In this article we present a survey of the major organizational paradigms used in multi-agent systems. These include hierarchies, holarchies, coalitions, teams, congregations, societies, federations, markets, and matrix organizations. We will provide a description of each, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and provide examples of how they may be instantiated and maintained. This summary will facilitate the comparative evaluation of organizational styles, allowing designers to first recognize the spectrum of possibilities, and then guiding the selection of an appropriate organizational design for a particular domain and environment.

Dysfunctional Behavior

Dysfunctional behavior (DB) and staff turnover are associated with decreased audit quality (Public Oversight Board 2000). Dysfunctional behaviors such as premature sign-off, gathering of insufficient evidence, altering or replacing audit procedures, and underreporting of time have negative effects on the auditing profession. While recent studies suggest that dysfunctional behavior is a widespread problem (Smith 1995; Otley and Pierce 1995), extant research fails to adequately explain the causes. In this study, the organizational behavior and industrial psychology literatures provide the basis for developing and testing a model that identifies locus of control, performance, and turnover intentions as determinants of auditor acceptance of DB. Using a cross-organizational design and a structural equation modeling technique, survey results from 106 auditors generally support the explanatory model. Results indicate that auditors who are more accepting of DB tend to possess an external locus of control, report lower levels of self-rated performance, and exhibit higher turnover intentions. These results suggest that individual auditor characteristics play a role in identifying those who are more accepting of DB.

Abstract The wave energy, as a clean and non-pollution renewable energy sources, has become a hot research topic at home and abroad and is likely to become a new industry in the future. In this article, to effectively extract and maximize the energy from ocean waves, a vertical axisymmetric wave energy converter (WEC) was presented according to investigating of the advantages and disadvantages of the current WEC. The linear and quadratic equations in frequency-domain for the reactive controlled single-point converter property under regular waves condition are proposed for an efficient power take-off (PTO). A method of damping coefficients, theoretical added mass and exciting force are calculated with the analytical method which is in use of the series expansion of eigen functions. The loads of optimal reactive and resistive, the amplitudes of corresponding oscillation, and the width ratios of energy capture are determined approximately and discussed in numerical results.

The Impact

Background: The decentralization of the Indonesian healthcare system, launched in the year 2000, allowed the authorities of local community health centers (CHCs) to tailor their services to the needs of their clients. Many observers see this as an opportunity to increase CHC efficiency. Building on the Context Design Performance Framework, this paper assesses the extent to which efficiency variations between CHCs can be explained by the degree of fit between their organizational design characteristics and aspects of the communities in which they are embedded. Methods: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied to construct a measure of CHC efficiency for a sample of 598 CHCs in 2011, drawn from a publicly available Ministry of Health (MoH) dataset. Tobit regression analysis was applied to assess the impact of organization design and community characteristics and their interplay on efficiency. Results: Large variations in CHC efficiency were discovered, suggesting that not all CHCs are equally capable of finding the optimal design to operate most efficiently. A significant inverted U-shape relationship was found for the organization design-efficiency link: efficiency is highest for CHCs with 1-2 horizontal units and decreases for CHCs exceeding or not reaching this number. No significant association was found between community characteristics (proportion of poor people, remote location of CHC) and CHC efficiency. Conclusion: Organizational design matters for CHC efficiency, but no evidence was found for the hypothesis that a better fit between community characteristics and CHC design increases efficiency. A potential reason for this might be that CHC management’s main design challenge is how to cope with the scarce availability of well-trained health personnel.

Deep neural networks (DNNs), especially those used in computer vision, are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, such as adversarial perturbations and adversarial patches. Adversarial patches, often considered more appropriate for a real-world attack, are attached to the target object or its surroundings to deceive the target system. However, most previous research employed adversarial patches that are conspicuous to human vision, making them easy to identify and counter. Previously, the spatially localized perturbation GAN (SLP-GAN) was proposed, in which the perturbation was only added to the most representative area of the input images, creating a spatially localized adversarial camouflage patch that excels in terms of visual fidelity and is, therefore, difficult to detect by human vision. In this study, the use of the method called eSLP-GAN was extended to deceive classifiers and object detection systems. Specifically, the loss function was modified for greater compatibility with an object-detection model attack and to increase robustness in the real world. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed method was tested on the CARLA simulator for a more authentic real-world attack scenario.

Organizational behavior (OB) is a discipline that includes principles from psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Its focus is on understanding how people behave in organizational work environments. Broadly speaking, OB covers three main levels of analysis: micro (individuals), meso (groups), and macro (the organization). Topics at the micro level include managing the diverse workforce; effects of individual differences in attitudes; job satisfaction and engagement, including their implications for performance and management; personality, including the effects of different cultures; perception and its effects on decision-making; employee values; emotions, including emotional intelligence, emotional labor, and the effects of positive and negative affect on decision-making and creativity (including common biases and errors in decision-making); and motivation, including the effects of rewards and goal-setting and implications for management. Topics at the meso level of analysis include group decision-making; managing work teams for optimum performance (including maximizing team performance and communication); managing team conflict (including the effects of task and relationship conflict on team effectiveness); team climate and group emotional tone; power, organizational politics, and ethical decision-making; and leadership, including leadership development and leadership effectiveness. At the organizational level, topics include organizational design and its effect on organizational performance; affective events theory and the physical environment; organizational culture and climate; and organizational change.

This chapter examines the relation between organization design and knowledge management. Choosing a certain organization form implies a way of dealing with knowledge. The adopted strategies for knowledge management must concur with this form. Knowledge management should always constitute a good ‘mix’ of strategies applied in the organization form and its information and communication technology (ICT). A model enables organizations to determine their type and implied consequences for their knowledge management. It offers an explanation of why a specific form of knowledge management will or will not work in certain situations, and suggests measures for an appropriate knowledge management.
