Decoding the Japanese Lean Production System according to a Viable Systems Perspective
2012
The increase in the complexity and variability of the business environment, due to constant and rapid changes in markets, calls for more flexible and effective production systems. Of the most valuable production systems, the Japanese lean production system (LPS) is the best known and studied, but is still not the most widely applied with success outside Japan. The reason for the low level of success of lean production outside its native country is the lack of understanding of the strong interactions which hold between enterprises and business systems.

An AHP-based approach to PMISs assessment
2015
The project management environment gets complex and subject to uncertainty. The firm's managers need of tools supporting the decision–making process in order to properly manage project information. PMISs provide features facilitating the project management. The variety of software and the ambiguity of features meaning make the choice of the PMIS a difficult task. The literature analysis confirms the importance of user engagement in features and PMIS assessment and the lack of methodologies satisfying such a task. The paper focuses on the classification and assessment of features of PMIS considering the firm's needs. A case study is presented for the evaluation of a PMISs sample.

2018
Pārbaudes pamatojums izriet no pētnieku argumentiem, ka efektīva un efektīva uzņēmējdarbības stratēģija ir būtisks instruments, ko organizācijas izmanto, lai novirzītu uzņēmējdarbību no arvien mainīgās uzņēmējdarbības vides un reģistrētu pastāvīgu uzlabotu veiktspēju. No šīs pieejas tiek piedāvāts konceptuālais satvars uzņēmējdarbības vides un hiperkonkurētspējas attiecināšanai uz uzņēmumu izmantotajām stratēģijām, kāda ietekme tas ir uz stratēģisko plānošanu. Promocijas darba mērķis ir analizēt hiperkonkurences vides spiediena stratēģiskās plānošanas darbību un atrast problēmas, kas varētu rasties nākotnē. Lai atrastu atbildi uz galveno darba tēmu: analizēt stratēģiskās plānošanas rīcību h…
