Modeling Alternatives Sustainable-Energy-Policy for the Supply Chain of Wind Power in Brazil.

2020

Renewable energy studies have received high attention in the last few years due the increasing deployment of alternatives such as wind, solar and biomass, as a result of the urgency in reducing fossil fuels consumption. This situation has involved an important challenge for long-term renewables policy and energy system planning. Brazil is the richest country in terms of renewable sources in Latin American. Brazil has energy generation portfolio not much different form the Colombia one, and the understanding of this very important country will contribute to inspire other countries in the region, particularly Colombia. Since 2004 the Brazilian energy policy promotes wind power development aim…

Designing Performance Management Systems in Academic Institutions: a Dynamic Performance Management View

2013

This paper illustrates how to design and implement performance management systems in universities by identifying and modeling those factors impacting on academic performance through a dynamic performance management view. Particularly, combining performance management with System Dynamics modeling may allow academic decision-makers to better identify key-performance drivers for pursuing a sustainable performance improvement in universities. In the second section of the paper, a number of examples based on empirical findings from a field project aimed at designing a dynamic performance management model for the University of Palermo are discussed.

Conceptualizing Innovative Business Planning Frameworks to Improving New Venture Strategy Communication and Performance. A Preliminary Analysis of th…

2017

Business planning is a fundamental activity that start-up entrepreneurs are called to carry out in order to attract new investors, business angels, and venture capitalists, to subsidize a new business idea. The key-tool universally used to communicate a new venture strategy to these players, as well as to other stakeholders, is the business plan, i.e. a framework including the business idea description, the product(s), the market sector(s), the core-assets, the budget, the business sustainability and profitability, and so on. As such, a major success factor for drawing up a business plan is the capability to clearly and synthetically communicate the business strategy. Among the others, one …

Applying Dynamic Performance Management to foster collaborative governance in Higher Education: A conceptual framework

2020

Higher education is characterized by growing complexity and uncertainty, which highlight how wicked issues cannot be addressed by one organization acting alone. A collaborative governance approach is here proposed to tackle these issues. Such a perspective has been implemented widely, from public services design and delivery to infrastructure development and environmental protection. Although higher education is not less critical than the above areas, less attention has been paid to collaborative governance in this feld. To foster collaborative governance in higher education, based on a literature review, we develop a conceptual framework using the dynamic performance management approach. T…

DESIGNING OUTCOME-BASED PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS THROUGH SYSTEM DYNAMICS MODELLING TO FRAME CORRUPTION BEHAVIOUR IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

Corruption is one of the most significant problems facing Serbia. While there are some signs that corruption may have become less rampant in recent years, available evidence suggests that corruption levels are still high while trust in key institutions is low (European Commission, 2014). This phenomenon is ubiquitous and has serious consequences on a country’s public welfare. Numerous conducted studies have mainly focused on specific characteristics such as economic issues, legal issues, social propositions, impact on national development, and about economic policy. The rationale of this research is to concentrate on a specific Anti-Hail Public Service provider in Serbia by not only explori…

Il “costo standard unitario di formazione per studente in corso” a supporto della progettazione delle politiche e strategie accademiche secondo una p…

2016

La recente introduzione del “costo standard di formazione per studente in corso” quale criterio per la valutazione ministeriale degli atenei impone un profondo ripensamento delle metodologie e degli schemi sottostanti alla progettazione dei sistemi di governo e di misurazione della performance adottati all’interno delle università italiane. Tale ripensamento deve essere esteso – attraverso una prospettiva sistemica – anche alla valutazione delle attività di Terza Missione che producono un impatto sul territorio di riferimento. Con l’obiettivo di supportare l’attività di diagnosi e la successiva ridefinizione delle politiche e strategie delle istituzioni accademiche, il presente studio mira …

A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO ASSESS HOW DECENTRALISATION POLICIES MAY REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION FROM MINES IN ZAMBIA

The economics of pollution in general and pollution control in particular is a relatively new branch of economic science. This has brought about economic and social interest due to the fact that most of the pollution is caused by economic activity such as mining. Pollution from mining has become a world-wide problem. While environmental problems vary in detail, it is a fact that mining emits damaging pollutants, a reason this study was undertaken. As a result of this, threats to the environment and human health continue to escalate. This research aimed at investigating how a Dynamic Performance Management approach, through System Dynamics, may support policy-makers and public managers in im…
