Conceptual Modelling approaches for the web need extensions to specify dynamic personalization properties in order to design more powerful web applications. Current approaches provide techniques to support dynamic personalization, usually focused on implementation details. This article presents an extension of…

Competence approaches are among the techniques that claim to measure the behaviour, skills, knowledge and understanding crucial to effective managerial performance. It is claimed that competence approaches empower and develop managers while enabling them to meet organizational objectives. Since the…

Previous research on corporate household and corporate householding has presented
examples, literature review, and working definitions. In this paper, we first improve our
understanding of the area by developing a typology of corporate householding tasks
and knowledge…
