The development of eHealth is dramatically changing the way healthcare is provided and organized. eHealth applications are used not only by healthcare professionals but also by patients specifically to self-manage their health condition. The development of eHealth applications requires a new methodological approach, departing from the more conventional methods dedicated to designing health information systems. There is a gap between theories to design persuasive eHealth applications and practices. In the Netherlands, eHealth innovation emerges from three areas. In research, the development of eHealth application often remains in a pilot phase. Healthcare organizations are also keen to innovate but do not always have the know-how. We further witness technology push from business and industry, undermining the co-creation process of the innovation. We consequently advocate an integrated, systematic and practical but scientifically based methodology to design effective persuasive eHealth applications. This approach is being successfully embedded in our educational health informatics program.

Definition Of

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a decision support tool that can be used to assess the environmental performance of an integrated waste management system or to identify the system with the best performance through a comparative analysis of different scenarios. The results of the analysis depend primarily on how the scenarios to be compared are defined, that is on which waste fractions are assumed to be sent to certain treatments/destinations and in what amounts. This paper reviews LCAs of integrated waste management systems with the aim of exploring how the scenarios to be compared are defined in the preliminary phase of an LCA. This critical review highlighted that various criteria, more or less subjective, are generally used for the definition of scenarios. Furthermore, the number of scenarios identified and compared is generally limited; this may entail that only the best option among a limited set of possibilities can be selected, instead of identifying the best of all possible combinations. As a result, the advisability of identifying an integrated life cycle-based methodological approach that allows finding the most environmentally sound scenario among all of those that are theoretically possible is stressed.

Abstract In a significant share of cases, when multi-objective management systems (e.g. Balanced Scorecard, Quantum Performance Measurement) are in use, the goal of employee satisfaction is part of the set of strategic goals. Quite frequently, this goal is flanked by an indicator, mostly a so-called employee satisfaction index, which is frequently derived from an employee satisfaction survey (ESS). On one hand such a survey has to reflect the characteristics and structure of the enterprises, on the other hand it is known that the question for intercompany-comparison turns up immediately after the disclosure of the results. The paper discusses the results of a meta-analysis of ESS in seven of the larger forest enterprises in Germany. The main topics are underlined and the problems of comparability of customized ESS are shown, while focusing on both wording and scales used for their measurement. A methodological approach of dealing with various scales is discussed based on the results of inter- and intra-company ESS. A vision of a common ESS framework is outlined.

Methodological Principles

Purpose of the article consists in the development of theorical and methodological principles for the formation of effective management systems for the competitive development of entrepreneurial structures in the conditions of decentralization. Research methodology considered in the context of the requirements of a systematic approach in the organic unity of target installations of socio-ecological, economic and other tasks and the formation of effective management of competitive development of business structures of production and functional-ensuring direction, which is the basis for the development of socio-economic, synergistic model, substantiation of components according to the allocated by us 11 blocks and methods of assessing the potential of the formed opportunities. Research methodology consists in a methodological approach to the formation and evaluation of an effective management system for the development of socio- economic structures as systemic integrity. Conclusions. The proposed methodology for the formation of effective systems for ensuring the competitive development of enterprises is the basic basis for justifying the potential of formed competitive potentials and a tool for diagnostic and analytical tracking of the effectiveness of decisions and management of actions in the system of empirical activity of entrepreneurial structures. Keywords: system, development, potential, competitiveness of efficiency, sustainability.
