TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a description and an evaluation of four interrelated methods to succesfully integrate communication in order to protect a strong corporate brand, in which they make careful decisions regarding the nature and the degree of orchestration of internal and external communication.
Abstract: In order to protect a strong corporate brand, companies have to make careful decisions regarding the nature and the degree of orchestration of internal and external communication. This paper presents a description and an evaluation of four interrelated methods to succesfully integrate communication.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a solution to prevent the deterioration in service while effectively utilizing the storage means of a limited capacity by selecting a compressing method with respect to information for providing service based on a request result, etc, so as to execute the restoring processing and the recompressing processing of compressed information.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the deterioration in service while effectively utilizing the storage means of a limited capacity by selecting a compressing method with respect to information for providing service based on a request result, etc, so as to execute the restoring processing and the re-compressing processing of compressed information SOLUTION: KARAOKE (orchestration without lyrics) terminals 10 distributed and installed at each local area count the playing frequency of each music to transmit a host computer 30 The host computer 30 collates playing frequency information of each music sent from each KARAOKE terminal 10 to sort frequently requested popular music and not-popular music In addition the host computer 30 transmits to the KARAOKE terminals 10 specifies a playing data compressing method attaching more importance to the acceleration of restoration than to a compressibility for frequently sung music and a compressing method of long restoring time and high compressibility so as to secure the dead capacity of a hard disk for music sung not frequently Each KARAOKE terminal 10 receiving these specification re-edits playing data stored in HDD 13 based on a specified compressing method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce three approaches to developmental initiatives: cross-functional development, functional development, and local development, where incremental and innovative changes are discussed and a more differentiated classification is proposed.
Abstract: This paper represents an attempt to shed light on an important issue for company development: namely, the orchestration of individual development projects and initiatives of different types and nature necessary for achieving an overall significantly improved performance. The paper will first introduce three approaches to developmental initiatives: (a) cross-functional development; (b) functional development; (c) local development. Then incremental and innovative changes will be discussed and a more differentiated classification will be proposed. This provides a framework for modelling different developmental processes, which will be illustrated by means of case examples. In addition, the results of a Danish survey on continuous improvements will be related to the three types of initiatives. Tentative theoretical and practical implications will be outlined.

TL;DR: An object-oriented approach to both implementation and performance management enables a system to dynamically respond to changing needs and environmental conditions in both a well-mannered and well-instrumented fashion.
Abstract: Orchestration refers to the specification and management of a multimedia presentation's life-cycle. Once synonymous with synchronization, this broader interpretation is analogous to the performance of a symphony orchestra, which in itself is more than just a set of musicians playing at the same time; rather, it is a well choreographed collection of instruments played together according to a set arrangement. Orchestrating a multimedia presentation involves specifying its content, spatial and temporal structure, coordinating data retrieval, decoding and synchronization, as well as displaying the decoded media to the user. It is this coordinated management which constitutes the orchestration process. The problem is therefore to define an architecture that addresses each stage this life-cycle so that the semantics of the presentation and each of its component media are preserved. Such an architecture must be open to examination and modification at different points in order to provide a self-regulating system that evaluates and adapts its behaviour throughout the presentation. Consequently, an object-oriented approach to both implementation and performance management enables a system to dynamically respond to changing needs and environmental conditions in both a well-mannered and well-instrumented fashion.

TL;DR: In this article, 31 students participated in a two-week International Action Learning Seminar in Salford, England, where participants were assigned to action learning sets on the basis of several variables.
Abstract: Research centered on 31 students who participated in a two-week International Action Learning Seminar in Salford, England. International participants were assigned to action learning sets on the basis of several variables. Composition of sets (six to seven individuals) was purposely mixed to enhance diversity and promote learning.
TL;DR: In spring 1975, the British composer and writer Bill Hopkins completed an orchestration of Debussy's Lindaraja, which was intended as a sketch of an orchestral composition as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In spring 1975 the British composer and writer Bill Hopkins completed an orchestration of Debussy's Lindaraja . Paul Griffiths has reported that Hopkins believed this to be ‘the only one of Debussy's piano works which was intended as a sketch of an orchestral composition’. As an expert on both French music and orchestration, Hopkins was admirably qualified for the job. But as we have no written record of his ideas on the subject we need to analyze the musical evidence as it stands, to see what might justify his view of the piece.
