Building a personal curriculum in continuous education is a challenge as there are several educational institutions that provide various courses, and there are no unified ways the content of the courses is presented. Further, in many organizations it is of high importance that the personal curriculums are in the lines with the skills and competences needed in the organization. In this paper, we describe how a healthcare community can exploit modern ICT technologies in managing continuous education. The corner stone of our solution is our designed Education ontology. It is an integration of the Employee Ontology, Competence ontology, Business Rule ontology, and Learning Object ontology. Such an integrated ontology enables a wide variety of queries that cannot be processed on a single ontology, i.e., we can achieve outcomes that would not be obtainable by functioning independently. In our cloud-based architecture the applications are revolved around the shared Education ontology. Thus anyone with a suitable internet connection and a standard browser can access the applications in the cloud.

Since the early 21st century, there is a enormous significance on educational leadership. This is because of the widespread idea that the excellence of leadership can make major differences to an institute and its students outcomes. In various parts of the world, there is acknowledgment that institutes require well-organized principals if they are to provide the best education for their students. As the worldwide economy changes rapidly, more organization are realizing that their main resources are their citizen and that remaining, or becoming competitive depends gradually more on the growth of highly skilled personnel. This eventually requires qualified and loyal educators and this means they need the leadership of greatly efficient principals and the support of other senior managements.

Efficient und successful development of platform-based product architectures requires a thorough understanding of the organizational structure, its interaction with the product architecture and the development processes. As individual research papers in existing literature are mostly focused on single aspects of the organizational domain, an overview of possible influencing factors on platform-based product development is missing. This paper addresses this gap by thoroughly reviewing the literature to identify and categorize the relevant limitations and enablers that influence success of platform-based product architecture development.

We propose a modeling approach based on belief networks to capture and understand the systemic nature of risks affecting supply networks. By aligning the purpose of a model with the nature of supply management decisions, we provide a mechanism for identifying relevant supply risks so that we can visualize inter-dependencies between risks and predict their effects on supply performance. By using a belief network modeling formalism we can use diagnostics to understand the key drivers of unwanted risk scenarios and to explore the efficacy of possible risk mitigating actions. We illustrate how belief network modeling can be used to manage the risk/reward position and provide new insights into supply risks through an example for the medicine supply chain of a regional health service provider.

Modern mechatronic Product-Service Systems (PSS), as a combination of mechanics, electrics, electronics, software and services, require an interdisciplinary system understanding and development process. During the development, each discipline uses specific modeling languages and tools, which focus on certain aspects of the system. However, much of the model information is commonly used in the different disciplines involved. Thus, it is inefficient to model these commonly used elements separately from scratch in every discipline and thereby keep the data of the system consistent. Therefore, in this paper a concept for an integration-framework is presented, which defines a specification of the relevant PSS elements and their attributes, in order to facilitate the crossdisciplinary use of model-information during the development process of mechatronic PSS.

Knowledge management has become an important resource for achieving success in today's uncompromising competitive market environment. Past studies have shown that knowledge management can significantly improve organization's performance and create competitive advantages. However, the implementation and development of knowledge management is an ongoing and difficult task. In this study, we examine the development and practices of knowledge management in a Chinese local beer company, including the incorporation of its supply chain members in such practices. It is observed that having a huge market share can temporarily suppress the importance of and the need for knowledge management practices, especially the need for forecasting related knowledge management.

The execution of a project requires resources that are generally scarce. Classical approaches to resource allocation assume that the usage of these resources by an individual project activity is constant during the execution of that activity; in practice, however, the project manager may vary resource usage over time within prescribed bounds. This variation gives rise to the project scheduling problem which consists in allocating the scarce resources to the project activities over time such that the project duration is minimized, the total number of resource units allocated equals the prescribed work content of each activity, and various work-content-related constraints are met. We formulate this problem for the first time as a mixed-integer linear program. Our computational results for a standard test set from the literature indicate that this model outperforms the state-of-the-art solution methods for this problem.

Although the early phases of engineering service projects are essential for product success, methods and tools to proactively and comprehensively evaluate the productivity of complex service processes are rare. In this paper the effects of team composition in terms of age diversity and task-related conflict on the outcome of a R&D task are examined in a laboratory experiment. Age heterogeneous and age homogeneous project teams were build and the level of task-related conflict was measured by means of an established instrument as a qualitative team aspect. In the outcome dimension the number of ideas generated during a brainstorming represents the quantitative team performance. To obtain also a quality-oriented view of team performance, the final task results were evaluated by domain experts. This evaluation allows the analysis of the impact of one isolated influence factor on service productivity across the whole chain of value creation within a complex engineering service setting.
