The Past

ABSTRACT A number of modifications and enhancements of the two primary transfer pump/skimmer units, specifically the GT-185 and GT-260 stocked by the Canadian Coast Guard have been proposed over the past few years. Much of the focus of the testing during this time has centered on dealing with very viscous oils, but the proposed changes will impact the performance of these devices when dealing with any oil. This paper details the development of a collaborative series of projects supported by Environment Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard over the past six years. It provides background information on the original problems or design limitations of the oil spill recovery equipment. Descriptions of the subsequent modifications are presented, along with performance information which quantifies any improvements to performance. The work has evolved to include partnerships with federal government organizations from Canada and the United States, along with contributions by manufacturers of similar spill response equipment during testing trials.

The Impact

As organizations undertake the deployment of integrated ERP systems, concerns are growing about its impact on people occupying jobs and roles in those organizations. The authors set out to assess the impact of ERP implementation on job characteristics. Using the Hackman and Oldham Job Characteristics Model as a basis, the study assesses how ERP affected work redesign and job satisfaction of people working in several Canadian federal government organizations.

At Will

Theoretically, the internal audit function exists to help members of an organization to improve the performance of their activities. But the findings from in-depth interviews conducted in the middle of 2004 with internal auditors from a total of 40 federal government ministries, departments and agencies in Malaysia revealed a number of serious shortcomings that far outweigh the few virtues identified during these interviews. These shortcomings are that many internal audit units face staff shortages, and staff lacking in internal audit competence. In addition, a majority of the audit units, most of which operate in outdated audit modes, have failed to get the right level of support and assistance from the Treasury and other parties. Worse, their effectiveness and efficiency are further threatened by the high-handed actions of the National Audit Department which shifts its cadre staff in and out of the internal audit units at will. Despite all these problems, these internal auditors are quite optimistic about the future of internal audit in Malaysia. But, according to the politics of accountability theory and the fact that Malaysian social context is replete with cases of the lack of transparency and public accountability from its major actors, the internal audit’s future does appear bleak.

Culture Dependent

Knowledge management (KM) is an active and growing field. One of the key factors of KM is its dependence on a culture that will support KM activities. Some of the activities that are extremely culture dependent are the sharing and acceptance of knowledge between individuals and organizations. The question to be answered is whether U.S. federal government (hereafter referred to as “government”) organizations, which are notorious for the lack of this type of culture (although not all), can accomplish KM at all or just need a different approach that has not been defined previously? In this research, we will propose to use government initiatives to entice the organization into creating the culture needed for KM. We will also propose a way to effect changes in the culture by implementing a social initiative that has proven successful in other organizations. The combination of these two activities is expected to create a culture that is viable for KM to flourish even in the infamous government organization.
