Purpose This paper aims to theoretically proffer and empirically evidence five inter-related high performance working (HPW) groupings of value to practitioners interested in developing HPW in their organizations. Design/methodology/approach The empirical research is based on three UK-based qualitative case studies. Data are drawn from nine in-depth interviews with managers (three from each case) and three subsequent focus groups (one in each case). Focus groups comprised six, eight, and four employee (non-manager) interviewees. Findings The empirical findings validate the theoretical importance of the five identified HPW groupings. More, they imply a number of relationships within and between the five groupings, confirming the need to view the groupings collectively and dynamically. Originality/value The five HPW groupings provide a foundation for further research to closely evaluate the dynamism within and across the groupings. They also offer practical types of human resource interventions and actions for practitioners to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of HPW in their organizations.

High Performance Organization

Purpose Stakeholder management is often primarily seen as maintaining external relations. However, it also has specific consequences for the internal processes of an organization and the behavior of its people. The authors argue that an organization that is meeting the standards of the high-performance organization (HPO) is able to effectively maintain valuable relationships with its stakeholders. The authors discuss in this paper how high-performance stakeholder management can be achieved and applied to stakeholder relationships. Design/methodology/approach Based on a discussion of the stakeholder management and the HPO framework concepts the authors show that good stakeholder management requires strong communication and dialogue within an organization, which in turn requires a strong internal organization, which the HPO framework can offer. This paper is written from the assumption that the two theories reinforce each other in their aims and methodologies. This argument is based on a case study. Findings The authors illustrate the argument with the application of both concepts at a case company. The case study makes clear that an organization that develops stakeholder management will be wise to examine its own internal quality and strength, using the HPO framework. If the organization views the information that comes from stakeholder management as very valuable, then internal organizational consequences must follow. Originality/value The concepts of stakeholder management and HPO Framework have not been connected before, neither in a theoretical nor a practical way. This offers the opportunity for theorists to further deepen the connection between the two, and practitioners to benefit from strengthening their stakeholder management.

This article introduces an original model-based design methodology addressing a high-performance aircraft design challenge: conflicting performance requirements. The case study of the Global 7500 elevator actuation system also provides in-depth insight into the complex design process of today’s fly-by-wire flight control systems. The methodology presented here redefines the aircraft manufacturer’s involvement in the design process of the systems, implementing analysis and iteration capabilities early in system development. To this end, it introduces a novel modeling approach for analyzing loaded rate requirements by simulating closed-loop performance with a generic nonlinear second-order state filter, including the main performance limitations without requiring a preliminary design definition. In this way, it provides means to mature the system requirements and addresses requirement conflicts upfront. Then, a simulation-based preliminary sizing and performance assessment validates the candidate design concept. It also secures the preliminary design phase by implementing advanced design uncertainties and involving interfacing systems and disciplines early in the process. The redefined methodology identified directly that the problem’s root cause was a conflict between stability and control and flutter protection requirements. It also indicated that the first sizing driver is the response time required under a specific failure case. These findings lead to an optimal elevator actuator design compliant with matured performance requirements. Thus, the methodology resolved a design challenge blocking the Global 7500 aircraft development and prevented redesign occurrences later during the detailed design phase. In this way, it directly contributed to the successful development of the Global 7500 and its optimal operational performance. This methodology applies to future aircraft design challenges, and the technical insight provides valuable lessons learned for high-performance T-tail business jets.

AbstractThis paper investigates the design and development of bio-inspired suture pins that would reduce the insertion force and thereby reducing the pain in the patients. Inspired by kingfisher's beak and porcupine quills, the conceptual design of the suture pin is developed by using a unique ideation methodology that is proposed in this research. The methodology is named as Domain Integrated Design, which involves in classifying bio-inspired structures into various domains. There is little work done on such bio-inspired multifunctional aspect. In this research we have categorized the vast biological functionalities into domains namely, cellular structures, shapes, cross-sections, and surfaces. Multi-functional bio-inspired structures are designed by combining different domains. In this research, the hypothesis is verified by simulating the total deformation of tissue and the needle at the moment of puncture. The results show that the bio-inspired suture pin has a low deformation on the tissue at higher velocities at the puncture point and low deformation in its own structure when an axial force (reaction force) is applied to its tip. This makes the design stiff and thus require less force of insertion.

Cities and nations worldwide are pledging to energy and carbon neutral objectives that imply a huge contribution from buildings. High-performance targets, either zero energy or zero carbon, are typically difficult to be reached by single buildings, but groups of properly-managed buildings might reach these ambitious goals. For this purpose we need tools and experiences to model, monitor, manage and optimize buildings and their neighborhood-level systems. The paper describes the activities pursued for the deployment of an advanced energy management system for a multi-carrier energy grid of an existing neighborhood in the area of Milan. The activities included: (i) development of a detailed monitoring plan, (ii) deployment of the monitoring plan, (iii) development of a virtual model of the neighborhood and simulation of the energy performance. Comparisons against early-stage energy monitoring data proved promising and the generation system showed high efficiency (EER equal to 5.84), to be further exploited.

Intergenerational Knowledge

Purpose This paper aims to develop a better understanding of intergenerational knowledge transfer (IKT) practices by adopting a context-related and comparative perspective. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study design involving 83 interviews and non-participative observation in German and Quebec organizations has been chosen. Findings Two distinctive archetypes of IKT emerge from both national contexts: “we-individualizing” (Germany) and “I-connecting” (Quebec), leading to an eightfold taxonomy of IKT practices. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to young and senior workers and to high-tech sectors. Originality/value Comparative and inductive study of IKT, adaptation of IKT practices to national contexts, retaining younger workers. This inductive and comparative study allows a better adaptation of IKT practices to national contexts and therefore a better retention of younger workers.
