The Model for Balancing Learning Workload
2015
Abstract It is advised and accepted that teachers carefully plan their lessons thus it is also crucial that there should be guidelines and recommendations on how students should plan their time to study and how much time is necessary to perform certain learning activities. This time management should be taken into account when planning students’ workload and for balancing it. During the research mental representations and approaches were reviewed and their role in the reasoning, as well as within the context of discerning the meaning and similarity. Examples are given for types of statistics and summaries that can help in evaluating the effectiveness and appropriateness of learning material…
Using methods and IT tools innovatively for the management of International IS development projects
2008
Increasingly, information systems (IS) development is done internationally. International IS development is very complex. Some of the factors that lead to this high complexity include geographically dispersed teams, time-zone differences, cultural differences, language problem, and communication challenges. All these affect coordination and collaboration significantly. Therefore, the project management activities have to be executed via different methods and information technology (IT) tools. There is a significant lack of studies dealing with the management of international IS development using methods and IT tools innovatively. Therefore, this study has been undertaken to fill in this res…
Web technologies and multi-criterion analysis used in enterprise integration

The studies, research and solutions presented below started from the acute need of small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate their processes, services and relationships with customers and suppliers, in a cost-effective manner, given the fact that ERP systems are quite expensive for such organizations.
Educational Application Design Process Experiences : Case Perioperative Nursing
2014
From an educational point of view, the only relevant basis for the design of an educational application is the learning objectives of the content area. In the development process of an educational application, there are also other people involved besides educational experts. This paper describes a project which primarily aims at developing an application for the needs of enhancing perioperative nursing skills’. Besides application development, the project included research about the process. The research task was to discover how the real – not only the formal – objectives could work as the starting point for the construction of an educational game-like application. This paper presents the s…
From the Knowledge Creating Process to the Knowledge Creating Outcome: The Way to go for Multinational Corporations
2017
Continuous creation of new knowledge is an activity that is said to enable organizations gain competitive advantage in their operations. However, apart from a few studies that have generated a trail of similar studies on this subject, there remains a shortage of research on how the activity is to be coordinated from input to outcome phase for maximum benefit. This paper presents a proposal to study the knowledge creation activity with a focus on Multinational Corporations and builds on the characteristics of the knowledge creation activity: knowledge creating input (the means used to generate new knowledge); knowledge creating output (the result of the knowledge creating process); and the k…
Developing Sustainable Processes through Knowledge Management
2015
Sustainable development of a process depends on a harmonious association of three sustainable pillars: Economy, Society, and Environment. Yet, in case of DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) process, the combination is challenged by inefficient management of knowledge resource in the process. The potential economy resource is not preserved and renewed, and therefore influents on sustainability of the process. In this article, the authors present and discuss sustainable aspects of a knowledge management model for DMAIC in which knowledge resource is accumulated and reused efficiently. In particular, the key concepts of sustainable development are reviewed, a process of knowledge ma…
Challenges in the Redesign of Content Management
2005
The Finnish Centre for Pensions (FCP) is a government organization acting as the central body for private pension institutions in Finland. One of its central tasks is to produce and publish guideline documents for ensuring that the pension institutions carry out pension provisioning in a unified way. Due to problems in the maintenance of the documents and requests for faster information delivery by the Internet, FCP carried out a content management development initiative during 2002-2004. The case follows the changes in components of the content management environment: in the activities of work processes, actor roles, systems, and content items. The case shows that in content management red…
Understanding the determinants of business process modelling in organisations
2011
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to address a theoretical gap in the business process management (BPM) literature on factors that influence the acceptance and use of business process modelling (PM) in organisations. The paper seeks to contribute to theory building and practice in BPM through better understanding of important determinants of PM adoption and use.Design/methodology/approachA combination of literature review and 34 interviews in context was used to develop a PM acceptance model that was subsequently empirically tested using survey data from 74 companies.FindingsThe paper provides empirical insights about how business PM can be influenced by many factors in the organisational…
EA Planning, Development and Management Process for Agile Enterprise Development
2005
In this study, we suggest an enterprise architecture (EA) development process model suitable for EA projects limited in scope and time. Several EA process models have been put forward, which have in common the idea of comprehensive EA management and development that is generic, cyclic and ongoing in a user organization. The suggested models are of varying level of abstraction. It is not simple to select the right issues from them for a restricted development effort. An ICT services provider needs a process model to follow in EA consulting and development projects. This approach is also needed for incremental EA development by user organizations. Starting with the suggested EA process models…
