“…While taking the first two steps and the last step involves mostly answering knowledge questions that require an analysis of the problem, the third and the fourth step are practical questions to find a tailored solution based on the insights gained in the previous steps (Wieringa 2009). The cycle resembles the common problem-solving process and shares aspects of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach (Matsuo and Nakahara 2013;Shewhart 1939). The cycle is used by psychologists and pedagogics to handle diagnostics of other socio-emotional problems (e.g., De Shazer and Dolan 2007; Madden et al 1992).…”

Despite increased attention to tackling bullying and the use of effective anti-bullying programs that can reduce victimization for many, some children remain victimized. Preventing persistent victimization requires that teachers identify victims and intervene at an early stage, but this is often difficult because teachers cannot always recognize victimization or the underlying social dynamics that determine what kind of interventions are necessary. This proposal discusses how network diagnostics of the social structure of the classroom can help teachers to recognize and reduce victimization more systematically. First, it discusses research that shows promising effects of the use of network diagnostics to reduce health problems. It describes how these diagnostics (for bullying and victimization, social position, and school well-being) can help in recognizing victimization and tailoring interventions to the most relevant students. Second, this proposal discusses a systematic stepwise approach for teachers to interpret the diagnostics and translate them into structural actions. Overall, this proposal aims to raise awareness of the potential of network information to facilitate the daily practice of reducing bullying and gives researchers directions for further empirical research on teachers' role in tackling bullying and on the situations that may affect whether their approaches are effective. Moreover, it discusses potential barriers to teachers' use of network diagnostics, such as a lack of time and resources at school.

“…Sakakibara (2004) found that empowerment may encourage workers to acquire new knowledge or skills, and direct supervision from seniors may facilitate the sharing of knowledge or skills within the workplace. While Matsuo and Nakahara (2013) found that empowerment can effectively facilitate learning among members, while direct supervision can sometimes hinder workplace learning. Finally, managers must promote reflective communication in the workplace, where members have a chance to express their opinions and criticize each other's work to improve performance perspectives.…”

Effective communication is necessary across all management tiers and functions. In addition, it is an integral part of managerial decision-making. Over the last 10 years, interest in the nuances of communication as related to management has intensified. These studies have fostered diverse approaches to linking management and communication. Our investigation, using 2x5 and 2x4 factorial ANOVAs, reveals that differences exist among the means of five professional communication fields. Numerous articles published between 2004 and 2013 were examined, and we found an increasing usefulness for managerial communication research on the main topic of management.

“…Deming's PDCA cycle of continuous quality improvement provides a systematic method to incrementally progress toward the goal [9]. According to this framework, quality improvement will be effective if improvements start with a good plan (P), activities necessary to achieve the plan are implemented (i.e., done, D), results are checked (C) to understand the causes of the results, and actions (A) are taken to improve the processes [14], [15]. Continuous quality improvement is an iterative process of: planning to improve a product or process, plan implementation, analyzing, and comparing results against those expected, and corrective action on the differences between actual and expected results [7].…”

Abstract-Project management information systems have their proven position as an effective tool for achieving project management success in terms of the successful realization of the project regarding time, cost and quality. Recent research results have indicated that quality of project management information system output information is positively and significantly related to project management information system application and project management factors and revealed the empirical support. However, getting the reporting quality of the project status report, monthly generated from the project management information system based on the information timely maintained by the project managers, responsible for ERP implementation up to the satisfactory level at any time, can be problematic without having a systematic approach implemented. This article is to discuss how the continuous quality improvement based on the plan-do-check-act cycle was conducted on the reporting quality of the project status report from project management information system generated by the project managers, for achieving project management success in ERP projects implemented by a solution provider for their customers in the various industries in Japan. The results of the study indicate that the continuous improvement on the reporting quality of project management information system was found to be effective in achieving quality of project management information system output information to help managers in decision making, planning, organizing and controlling the project. It was also found to be effective in positively influencing achievement of project management success in terms of respecting the time, cost and quality.
