Can we build 'effective' entrepreneurship through management development?

Article Abstract:

The concept of 'entrepreneurial core skills and capacities' is redefined to reflect the diverse contexts of various definitions. The definition of the concept addresses the individual, organizational and societal preparations for managers. Moreover, ten areas of entrepreneurial capacity of relevance to management development were proposed. These are the capacities to manage the global information revolution; cope with a particular lifestyle; cope with the social and community behaviors which form the basis of self regulation of entrepreneurial activity; manage uncertainty in a global context; manage business development processes; effective learning from the interactions of business with the environment; manage networks of stakeholders; develop entrepreneurial organizations; master strategic awareness; and develop personal entrepreneurial personal attributes.

A simple but effective heuristic for workshift assignment

Article Abstract:

Efficient management of manpower resources can be achieved through manpower rostering. This process of scheduling manpower resources to meet operational demands within parameters set by the management, labor union and the government can be enhanced by computerization. The ROMAN generic toolkit for manpower rostering developed at the Information Technology Institute in Singapore was improved through the addition of an effective heuristic for the workshift assignment phase. Evaluation of this heuristic proved that it can hasten the branch and bound search process.
