does human resource management help a company s financial Operating Result
Journal of Service Science and Management, 2013Co-Authors: Rob Van OtterloAbstract:Human Resource Management (HRM) is widely believed to have a positive effect on the performance of company. However, empirical proof of this is hard to come by. In this study, we try to establish a linkage between HRM and financial output of two case studies in the profit sector. To do this, we have developed a performance measurement system that is tailored to the specific needs of measuring HRM-performance in for-profit of company. Although we do not try to generalize the outcome of this study, it looks promising in the way that more case studies should be conducted using this specific performance measurement system. If nothing else, management and controllers could use the system to evaluate the performance of their HRM-tools.

counterpropagation fuzzy neural network for city flood control system
Journal of Hydrology, 2008Co-Authors: Fijohn Chang, Kaiyao Chang, Lichiu ChangAbstract:Summary The counterpropagation fuzzy-neural network (CFNN) can effectively solve highly non-linear control problems and robustly tune the complicated conversion of human intelligence to logical Operating system. We propose the CFNN for extracting flood control knowledge in the form of fuzzy if–then rules to simulate a human-like Operating strategy in a city flood control system through storm events. The Yu-Cheng pumping station, Taipei City, is used as a case study, where storm and Operating records are used to train and verify the model’s performance. Historical records contain information of rainfall amounts, inner water levels, and pump and gate Operating records in torrential rain events. Input information can be classified according to its similarity and mapped into the hidden layer to form precedent if–then rules, while the output layer gradually adjusts the linked weights to obtain the optimal Operating Result. A model with increasing historical data can automatically increase rules and thus enhance its predicting ability. The Results indicate the network has a simple basic structure with efficient learning ability to construct a human-like Operating strategy and has the potential ability to automatically Operating the flood control system.

consequences and costs of financial reporting compliance for local government
European Accounting Review, 2009Co-Authors: Robyn Pilcher, Graeme DeanAbstract:Local governments are continuously being subjected to changing legislation in regard to reporting requirements. Results of this research indicate that the amount of time allocated to complying with external reporting requirements was often considered excessive and not always relevant - detracting from the 'doing'. It was also revealed that the bottom line is perceived to be the most important indicator of a council's performance by stakeholders. From this, several implications emerge - including the potential for manipulation of accounting figures to achieve a target Operating Result. Another includes councils losing their original identity as service providers to the community. Hence, financial, political and social costs appear to be associated with continually changing financial reporting requirements imposed on local government. Future research proposes to take the derived questionnaire used here to other countries in order to determine whether data prepared using financial accounting standards (like the International Financial Reporting Standards) distort the information used by the various council decision makers.
