Election administration in the United States

by R. Michael Alvarez, Bernard M. Grofman (2014)

About this book

"This book tells the story of how the way in which we conduct elections has changed after the Florida recount litigation of 2000. Some of the nation's leading experts look at various aspects of election administration, including issues of ballot format, changes in registration procedures, the growth in the availability of absentee ballot rules and other forms of "convenience voting," and changes in the technology used to record our votes. They also look at how the Bush v. Gore decision has been used by courts that monitor the election process and at the consequences of changes in practice for levels of invalid ballots, magnitude of racial disparities in voting, voter turnout, and access to the ballot by those living outside the United States. The editors, in their introduction, also consider the normative question of exactly what we want a voting system to do. An epilogue by two leading election law specialists looks at how election administration and election contest issues played out in the 2012 presidential election"--

The strategic management of intellectual capital and organizational knowledge

Chun Wei Choo and Nick Bontis

Increasingly, the challenge of management is to create and supply knowledge in order to sustain organizational performance. However, few books on management strategy have been written using this concept as a foundation. This unique volume adopts a knowledge-based approach that will complement and perhaps supplant other perspectives. Editors Nick Bontis and Chun Wei Choo look at the literature through the lens of strategic management and from the vantage point of organizational science. The thirty readings have been carefully selected and commissioned to provide the best literature available--from articles newly written for this book and from existing publications.--Publisher description.

An Intelligent Customer Complaint Management System with Application to the Transport and Logistics Industry

Alireza Faed

This thesis addresses the issue of customer complaints in the context of Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Following a comprehensive survey of the current literature on CRM, it describes the development of a new intelligent CRM (I-CRM) framework, which integrates in a single approach different innovative analytical methods. Unlike conventional approaches, this new methodology can handle customer complaints with respect to different variables, thus allowing organizations to find their key customers and key complaints, and to address and provide solutions for their major complaints, hence promoting business development. The thesis also describes the successful application of the method to a real-world case: the virtually immeasurable number of complaints from truck drivers at the port city Fremantle in Western Australia.
