Exploring the influence of team characteristics on the quality of scenarios in disaster management
Scenario planning is an important technique used by teams in disaster management. Scenarios are often developed to inform disaster risk reduction strategies in the response to, and recovery from, disasters. In these situations, teams developing scenarios need to ensure that their analysis is of high quality as the scenarios can inform the decision-making process. But what characteristics do these teams need? This article uses findings from a stud…
Learning for uncertain futures
Assessing the influence of individual creativity, perceptions of group decision-making and structured techniques on the quality of scenario planning
Search, Information, and Prices
Consider a market with identical firms offering a homogeneous good. For any given ex ante distribution of the price count (the number of firms from which a consumer obtains a quote), we derive a tight upper bound on the equilibrium distribution of sales prices. The bound holds across all models of firms’ common-prior higher-order beliefs about the price count, including the extreme cases of full information and no information. One implication of …
Eculizumab improves fatigue in refractory generalized myasthenia gravis
Compared with placebo, eculizumab was associated with improvements in perceived fatigue that strongly correlated with improvements in MG-specific outcome measures. Trial ID Registration: NCT01997229, NCT02301624
Speech acts in professional maritime discourse
The paper studies verbal maritime communication by categorising spontaneous professional discourse observed in co-operative full-mission simulation exercises into the illocutionary points of commissives and directives according to Searle's original classification. The research adopts a Corpus Pragmatics approach by combining vertical Corpus Linguistics methods with horizontal Pragmatics analyses. Between-group analyses of speech acts by native an…
Enhancing Learning in Emergency Services Organisational Work
The paper aims to assist emergency services organisations to learn how to learn so that managers better understand how to embed effective learning practices and systems into their organisation's culture. Learning in emergency services organisations occurs in a range of contexts. These include after‐action reviews, externally led inquiries, and practice‐led research projects. The paper outlines key themes from the work‐related learning literature …
Investigating the strategic antecedents of agility in humanitarian logistics
This study investigates the strategic antecedents of operational agility in humanitarian logistics. It began by identifying the particular actions to be taken at the strategic level of a humanitarian organisation to support field-level agility. Next, quantitative data (n=59) were collected on four strategic-level capabilities (being purposeful, action-focused, collaborative, and learning-oriented) and on operational agility (field responsiveness …
Organisational features and their effect on the perceived performance of emergency management organisations
Purpose – This study reports on a survey of experienced emergency management personnel in Australia and New Zealand to identify the influence of organisational features in perceived emergency management performance. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the influence of organisational features in emergency response performance and to discuss how this knowledge can be used to enhance the response capacity of emergency services organisations. Des…
