Introduction to the Symposium on Exploring the Complexities of Performance Management

2017

ABSTRACTThe editors of this symposium hope that this collection of articles can help advance the public administration literature stream across the multiple organizational and cultural settings in which these performance management studies were conducted. However, this symposium also focused on articles that can help advance the practice of performance management, where specific recommendations are needed to help public officials collect, analyze, and use meaningful outcome measures specifically for the benefits for making better management and policy decisions.

Quality of service and dynamic scheduling for traffic engineering in next generation networks

2007

Nykyisin Internet-operaattorit tuottavat palveluja, jotka ovat sidoksissa verkon suorituskykyyn. Palvelut tunnistetaan niihin liittyvien parametrien mukaan, jotka jaottelevat pakettiliikenteen verkon solmujen kautta. Näitä parametreja kutsutaan palvelun laaduksi (QoS). Tulevaisuudessa tietoliikenneverkoissa aikakriittinen liikenne, kuten ääntä (IP-puhelut, VoIP) ja videokuvaa sisältävä liikenne tulee lisääntymään. Palvelun laatua tarvitaan takaamaan aikakriittisten liikenteiden toiminta tietoverkoissa.Menetelmät, jotka perustuvat pakettien merkitsemiseen, ovat yksinkertaisia ja skaalautuvia. Jonotusmenettelyjä käytetään takaamaan erityyppisten liikenteiden palvelun laatu. Palvelun laadun tu…

Advanced performance monitoring for self-healing cellular mobile networks

2015

This dissertation is devoted to development and validation of advanced per- formance monitoring system for existing and future cellular mobile networks. Knowledge mining techniques are employed for analysis of user specific logs, collected with Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) functionality. Ever increas- ing quality requirements, expansion of the mobile networks and their extend- ing heterogeneity, call for effective automatic means of performance monitoring. Nowadays, network operation is mostly controlled manually through aggregated key performance indicators and statistical profiles. These methods are are not able to fully address the dynamism and complexity of modern mobile networks. Se…

Designing Dynamic Sustainable Business Models to Assess the Feasibility of an Industrial Symbiosis: The Case of the Retro-Port Area of Trieste

2023

This study evaluates the managerial sustainability of implementing a decision support system for industrial symbiosis through a recent business modeling methodology. The decision support system is intended to facilitate the identification of implementable industrial symbiosis good practices in a pilot project located in the industrial retro-port area of Trieste. To evaluate the feasibility of this project, a qualitative “Dynamic business model canvas for sustainability” was designed and supported by a system dynamics approach using causal loop diagrams. The study analyzed various governance scenarios for managing the decision support system (public, private, or public–private partnership) a…

Crowdsourcing as a mode of open innovation: Exploring drivers of success of a multisided platform through system dynamics modelling

2020

This article aims to explore drivers of success of a crowdsourcing platform. The study conceptualizes crowdsourcing as a mode of open innovation and places such a concept within the context of the sharing economy. Upon this framework, the paper analyses the case of InnoCentive, a successful crowdsourcing platform where innovation-driven organizations search for solutions to their R&D tasks. The system dynamics model frames main InnoCentive business processes and offers a causal perspective on the relationships between platform performance—in terms of users base—and resources structure. The discussion on simulation outputs is carried out through a dynamic performance management view of p…

Performance Management in Local Government: The Application of System Dynamics to Promote Data Use

2014

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how system dynamics can be used to enrich performance management in local government, focusing specifically on how the development of conceptual and simulation system dynamic models can foster a shared view of the relevant system among stakeholders to overcome factors that limit data use. Responding to this purpose, we present a normative case study on how key drivers can be used to foster a shared view of the residential refuse collection system for supporting policy and process changes. A major finding from our research, however, is that performance management cannot overlook the broader forces of citizenship outcomes that impact the community.

Addressing Patients Mobility through a Dynamic Performance Management perspective: the case of Sicily

Al giorno d'oggi molte regioni italiane sperimentano il fenomeno della mobilità sanitaria passiva, consistente nella tendenza dei loro residenti a rivolgersi ad altri sistemi sanitari regionali, spesso caratterizzati da miglior reputazione, per ricevere assistenza sanitaria. Poiché il Servizio Sanitario Italiano (SSN) è pubblico e regionalizzato, ogni governo regionale ha la responsabilità di prestare assistenza sanitaria ai propri residenti, garantendo al contempo ad ogni cittadino la libertà di essere curato fuori dalla propria giurisdizione, e compensando le regioni di destinazione per i servizi sanitari resi ai non residenti. Nonostante tale diritto di scelta sia un punto di forza del S…

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…
