The Role of the Competitive Environment in Studies of Strategic Alignment: A Meta-Analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2012-01)Numerous studies in operations management have investigated alignment between business and functional level strategies. In spite of the considerable amount of research that has been conducted, little consensus exists ... -
The role of vigilance on a discrete-time predator-prey model
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022)The change of behaviors of prey in the form of vigilance significantly affects the dynamics of a predator-prey system. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time predator-prey model, where the vigilance of prey acts as a ... -
The Roots of Misalignment: Insights on Strategy Implementation from a System Dynamics Perspective
(2019)This essay advances the study of strategic alignment by explaining how and why misalignment occurs. We begin by summarizing why IT and business strategies evolve in unintended ways, a phenomenon known as strategic drift. ... -
Running AUS on Solar Energy
(2014-01-19)In this project, we have proposed fitting each building in AUS with Solar Panels to charge up that building during the day, and for non-renewable energy to be distributed only at night when required. By switching over to ... -
Sacred Spaces of New England: Artistic Research, Cultural Heritage, and Virtual Reality Panoramic Photography
(International Panorama Council, 2020)Artistic research is a methodology that integrates artistic activities within either the research process or its outcomes. By using New England's sacred spaces as a case study for the documentation and interpretation of ... -
Safety Enhancement of Vehicles
(2016-11)VANET turns every participating car into a wireless router or node, allowing cars approximately 100 to 250 meters of each other to connect, creating a network with a wide range.[6] As cars fall out of the signal range and ... -
Saliency detection in MPEG and HEVC video using intra-frame and inter-frame distances
(Springer, 2016-04)This paper proposes a video saliency detection model for MPEG and HEVC coded videos. The model extracts features from MPEG macro blocks and HEVC coding units. The feature variables are based on syntax elements and statistics ... -
