A dynamic performance management approach to support local strategic planning

2015

In spite of efforts devoted in the last decades to local strategic planning, such field of research and practice has been frequently characterized by a lack of implementation. We argue here that this phenomenon is due to the limitations of the static and linear approach to local strategic planning in fostering the development of common shared view among policy makers on the relevant system's structure and behavior. By means of a case-study, we illustrate how an approach based on system dynamics modeling applied to Performance Management can be useful to overcome such weaknesses. The proposed approach enhances a better understanding of the causes and effects related to adopted policies, unde…

Assessing the Reduction Strategies of the Italian Measles Outbreaks through Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) approach

Lack of Good Governance or hazard of consumers e-Health? Evidence through a dynamic outcome based-performance in the Italian healthcare sector about …

This research aims to analyse the management of the health policies to contain the measles outbreaks in Italy. In particular, this study wants to find out what are the key factors that led to the measles outbreak of 2017 and its previous cyclical trend, analysing the impact of ehealth strategy in the management of the epidemics. Understanding the complexity of this issue will help to evaluate the actual policies of the Italian Ministry of Healthcare and to steer the policy-makers to frame sustainable policies to manage the risk of a measles outbreak. The thesis is structured in four chapters. The first chapter, through a literature review, discusses the evolution of the management of epidem…

Timing the information system upgrade

2010

A system upgrade requires careful planning as its implications to organizational systems might be enormous. Although in IS literature the requirements and process of systems upgrade have been discussed, the timing when to upgrade and what factors guide it has been of lesser interest. Consequently, in this paper we focus on information systems upgrading and its timing from the perspective of the user organization. Upgrading is enabled by the availability of a new software version. When to upgrade, meanwhile, is determined by the business interests of the customer organization, business calendar, development projects, and the vendor. These factors were identified by interviewing 14 IT manager…

Systematic conformational search analysis of the SRR and RRR epimers of 7-hydroxymatairesinol

2010

An extensive and systematic conformational search was performed on the two epimers of the natural lignan 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR), by means of a home-made Systematic Conformational Search Analysis (SCSA) code, designed to select more and more stable conformers through sequential geometry optimization of trial structures at increasing levels of calculation theory. In the present case, the starting molecular structures were selected by the semi-empirical AM1 method and filtered – i.e. decreased in number by choosing the more stable species – on the basis of their energy calculated by the HF method and the 6-31G(d) basis set. The geometries obtained were further refined by performing densit…

'REOFUT' as an Observation Tool for Tactical Analysis on Offensive Performance in Soccer: Mixed Method Perspective

2019

Performance analysis in complex sports like soccer requires the study of the influence of the interaction between both teams during the game on final performance. The mixed methods approach involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data for the same purpose and within the framework of the same study. To build certain observation tools, mixed methods are necessary in order to take advantage of integration between qualitative and quantitative elements. The aim of this study was to develop a new no standard observation tool to analyze soccer offensive performance considering not only the observed team but also some aspects of the opponent behavior, a…

Controverse : l'efficacité de la vidéosurveillance

2012

revue "M3. Société urbaine et action publique"quadrimestriel édité par la Direction de la Prospective du Grand Lyon; En juillet 2007, le ministère de l’Intérieur a lancé un vaste plan de développement de la vidéosurveillance dans les espacesurbains. Cinq ans plus tard, l’efficacité de ces dispositifs n’est toujours pas démontrée, qu’il s’agisse de préventionde la délinquance ou d’aide à l’élucidation d’affaires criminelles. La vidéosurveillance dite intelligente constitue-t-elle une solution pour pallier ce déficit de résultat ?

Transitions en système

2020

Cette illustration conçue par l'auteur et co-réalisée avec l'association Alterre Bourgogne-Franche-Comté vise à synthétiser le concept de la Transition, fonctionnant comme un système, où chaque élément est lié aux autres, de telle sorte qu'on ne peut efficacement concevoir une banche de transition sans structurer les autres dans une même dynamique.Cette modélisation est issue de travaux de recherche de l'auteur qui sont en cours de publication (sur 2022 et 2023) dans le cadre de l'Observatoire de la Transition Socio-Écologique (MSHE C. N. Ledoux, Université de Franche-Comté et CNRS, Université de Bourgogne), et dans le cadre d'une Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches en cours.

Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing

2020

Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…
