The present study examines the impact of organizational values and value congruency on satisfaction, commitment, and cohesion within a not-for-profit setting. Information for the study was collected from 387 highway […]

A recent study revealed that management preforms four sets of activities: traditional planning, controlling, and decision making; networking; communication; and human resource management. Communication, transmitting information in a form that can be understood, is the key factor that runs through all managerial activities. The main means of business communication are one-on-one communication, telephone calls, memoranda, and meetings. The only justification for a meeting is the need to achieve some goal. When planning for effective meetings, the establishment of goals is the most important variable determining its success or failure. The meeting leader should prepare an agenda, start the meeting on time, keep the discussion focused, control input, summarize the major points and confirm any decisions, and close the meeting on time.

Improved marine seismics have resulted in enhanced efficiency, lower costs and decreased turnaround times. Real-time seismic processing is possible with the time gain made by 3-D surveys. This is due to better methods for processing navigation and positioning data, networked, high-speed field recording and onboard seismic processing systems. The seismic processing model, which involves various tasks via the seismic acquisition unit, onboard processing capabilities, onshore processing centers and oil company workstations, can process both seismic and navigation data between seismic shots., Great advances have been made in marine seismics since the early 1990s, driven by need to further increase efficiency, i.e., cut unit costs and turnaround times while maintaining data quality [...]

Geco-Prakla Inc. has developed new applications for 3-D seismic data. The company used its worldwide satellite networks to develop technologies in seismic data acquisition, processing and communications. The technologies improve data gathering through high resolution salt body depth imaging. The data processing system, on the other hand, utilizes supercomputers that enable high data transfer and accurate velocity-to-depth modeling. Three-dimensional seismic imaging software packages are also used., Geco-Prakla has developed new technologies in areas of marine 3-D seismic data acquisition, processing and global communications using its worldwide satellite networks. This includes strategies for three interlocking fields--acquisition, processing [...]
