This book examines the capabilities organizations need in order to meet the dual mandate of current and future performance. It develops a theoretical framework for dual organizing, which emphasizes the escalation of both explore and exploit ventures simultaneously in order to sustain a...

Performance results for a novel rotary active magnetic regenerator (AMR) and detailed numerical model of it are presented. The experimental device consists of 24 regenerators packed with gadolinium (Gd) spheres rotating inside a four-pole permanent magnet with magnetic field of 1.24T. A...

In this paper we first consider alternative measures of efficiency. We explain why simple partial productivity measures are inadequate as the basis of overall measures of efficiency, and outline two alternative approaches. The first is technical efficiency - the degree to which output is...
