Exploring the critical incident technique to encourage reflection during project-based learning
2017
Previous research has reported on the challenge of promoting students' generic reflection during authentic project-based courses. This work explores a teaching intervention based on Flanagan's Critical Incident Technique (CIT) during a project-based software development course. The intervention aims at increasing students' awareness of their own learning and at encouraging reflective practice throughout the project. Students were asked to report on 'incidents' when they experienced learning during the course, and to reflect on the task itself at the end of the course. The present study focuses on how students approached the incident reporting task and how they perceived it. The results indi…

Early warning system in logistics project management
2017
Risk management is a vital process in all complex logistics project management. We discuss the concept of early warning system EWS dedicated to logistics project, which enable management under the conditions of uncertainty and risk. The complexity and uniqueness of the logistics projects as well as the discontinuity of the effects in the environment of goods and services, significantly impact the inability to eliminate the risks and subsequently lead to changes during execution. The introduction into companies and supply chains things such as: principles, methods, mechanisms of knowledge management and project risk, e.g. by implementing into the logistics project management the early warnin…
Fuzzy logic-decision-making system dedicated to evaluation of logistics project effectiveness
2016
Background: Project effectiveness is synonymous with project success. It is measured or assessed in terms of the degree to which project objectives are achieved. This paper presents an approach to evaluating the effectiveness of logistics projects. The starting point is the analysis of the current state of knowledge in the area of assessing project effectiveness, including logistics projects. The purpose of the study was to identify the critical factors determining the success of logistics projects and develop a model of logistics project effectiveness. Methods: The paper is based on the available recent scientific-theoretical research and publications and on practical studies in 25 enterpr…

Key Challenges of Virtual Software Development Teams
2010
Montonen, Jarno Johannes Key Challenges of Virtual Software Development Teams / Jarno Montonen Jyväskylä: Jyväskylä University, 2010. 41 p. Bachelor’s Thesis Many alleged benefits of virtual teams have motivated software companies to utilize virtual work in their projects. Building efficient virtual teams has, however, proven out to be a difficult task, and companies have found out that the alleged benefits may not always come true. To ease the efficient utilization of virtual teams in the future software development projects, this study researches virtual software development literature for key challenges that the teams face, as well as to find possible solutions to these challenges. The s…
Stakeholder Analysis as a Source of Early Warning Signals in Logistics Projects
2017
Logistics projects are undertaken by a set of multiple organizations that engage resources from different logistics systems, production systems, management systems, social-cultural systems. They are subject to impact of wider economic and political environments. Logistics projects involve participants from diverse cultural environments, management practice. The article presents the essence and importance of stakeholders in projects including logistics projects. The author presents the basic issues related to stakeholders and early warning concept in project management. The specific research question is: How to implement the stakeholder relations management in early warning system dedicated …
La "retirada" vue du côté franquiste
2010
Parmi les images que la guerre d'Espagne a légué à l’iconographie de la détresse humaine, les images de la ‘Retirada’ ont une place d’honneur. Ces images se sont fixées dans la mémoire d’Occident comme des icônes qui éveillent l’empathie chez le spectateur Les actualités filmées françaises ont contribué de manière décisive à dresser cette imaginerie et ces plan ont migré autant en synchronie qu’en diachronie. Or, la propaganda franquiste dut contrecarrer l'effet des images qui semblaient tout naturellement accuser les nationalistes. Absent depuis 1939, le motif et les plans de la retirada reviennent dans le cinema espagnol au fil des années cinquante. Ce texte porte son analyse sur deux fil…
El pasado es el destino : propaganda y cine del bando nacional en la Guerra Civil [Introducción]
2011
La guerra civil española (1936-1939) asoló nuestro país con una contienda fratricida que dejaría huellas indelebles en varias generaciones de españoles. Al tiempo, otro combate no menos intenso se libró en el terreno de las ideas, cuya máxima expresión serían la propaganda política y los medios de comunicación de masas. Todas las disyuntivas internacionales (democracia/totalitarismos, intervencionismo/solidaridad, guerra total/defensa popular, nuevos sistemas de producción de imágenes/instrumentalización política) se dieron cita en nuestro territorio creando un nuevo imaginario bélico donde la población civil cobraría un protagonismo insólito. El pasado es el destino es el fruto de la inves…
Building Situational Awareness of GDPR
2023
Because previous academic research does not comment sufficiently on how the relevant content of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR has been properly communicated to the organisations, or how the situational awareness (SA) of GDPR has been built in the organisations, this qualitative empirical research was regarded as a valuable approach for gathering authentic research material on the practical bases of this phenomena. The aim of this empirical case study (CS) is to develop a picture of what processes organisations use to build SA of the GDPR requirements. To guide the CS, we asked how the SA for decision-making was constructed and how it was perceived in organ…
