    Moderne Organisationen befinden sich stärker denn je unter der Herausforderung eines zunehmenden Innovationsdrucks, der die Fähigkeit zur permanenten Erneuerung erfordert. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit widmet sich der Frage, auf welche Weise eine methodische Innovation Eingang in eine Organisation findet. Innovation steht dabei für Konzepte, Ideen und Methoden des Managements, die in dem Sinne ‚anders' sind, als dass sie mit dem Attribut der Neuheit belegt werden können und sich von der bisher vorherrschenden Logik und gängigen Praxis des untersuchten Systems unterscheiden ..

    The collegiate theatrical touring guide

    Get PDF
    It is the intention of this theatrical touring guide to act as a preliminary reference source for collegiate theatrical production companies that are planning to tour their performance(s). Whether the production is going only across town to another college for a singular show, or on a lengthy trip with numerous performances, this guide is designed to help the touring company research and coordinate with the host venue the technical needs of their program. Specifically, this project highlights the organizational aspect of the production company, prototypical booking procedures for the touring company with the host venue or presenter, as well as understanding health, wellness, and safety management techniques. This guide also emphasizes itineraries a touring company may use with which to transport and integrate the technical portion of the production, specifically: costumes, audio, lighting, makeup, tools and hardware. The strike and removal of the production from the host venue is also ascertained and assessed. What this guide does not do is determine what productions that the touring company should tour, the legalities of the production (as in royalties or other considerations), or what criteria the touring company should apply when casting or engaging the technical support staff. It should be noted that this guide is not intended to help determine what plays to produce and present, how to design the production in any discipline, what technical equipment works best in which situation, how to handle personnel, or hiring practices. Nor does it intend to specify touring routes, transportation methods, or other production details. Theatrical productions, unlike other visual art forms, is subject to an infinite array of external factors and therefore this guide is only a recommendation and is designed to accept modifications and revisions.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 105)California State University, Northridge.

    The Effects Of Acute Resistance Exercise On Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Measure Of Body Composition

    Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is a reference laboratory method for estimating body composition but there are questions concerning the pre-testing guidelines that should be followed to increase validity and reliability of this methodology. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if acute, localized resistance exercise disrupts the validity of DXA total body composition estimates. METHODS: In a crossover design, 18 healthy, resistance-trained, college-aged adults, including 7 females (age: 22.7 ± 1.9 y; height: 165.4 ± 8.4 cm; body mass: 62.1 ± 10.9 kg; body fat: 25.9 ± 7.3%) and 11 males (age: 24.2 ± 4.1 y; height: 180.0 ± 5.1 cm; body mass: 90.2 ± 9.5 kg; body fat: 18.7 ± 7.2%) completed three conditions in a randomized order: lower-body resistance exercise (RELOWER), upper-body resistance exercise (REUPPER), and rest (REST). The resistance exercise (RE) protocol consisted of a RE warm-up consisting of 2 sets of 12-15 repetitions of 3 upper-body exercises (upper), or 3 lower-body exercises (lower) or nothing (rest). The RE circuit consisted of 5 sets of 10 repetitions per exercise, with 1-minute rest intervals between circuits. A DXA scan was performed immediately before exercise and at 60 minutes post exercise. DXA estimates of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM; calculated as lean soft tissue plus bone mineral content) were analyzed using 3 x 2 (condition x time) analysis of variance with repeated measures, follow-up pairwise comparisons, and evaluation of the partial eta-squared (ηp2) effect sizes. RESULTS: Pre-exercise FM and FFM did not differ between conditions (0.2 to 0.4 kg; p \u3e 0.14 for all). For FM, no statistically significant interaction or main effects were present (interaction: p=0.80, ηp2=0.01; time main effect: p=0.14, ηp2=0.12; condition main effect: p=0.92, ηp2=0.01). For FFM, no statistically significant interaction (p=0.13, ηp2=0.12) or condition main effect (p=0.56, ηp2=0.03) was present. However, a statistically significant time main effect was present (p=0.009, ηp2=0.34). Pairwise comparisons indicated that post-condition FFM estimates were 0.20 ± 0.07 kg lower than pre-condition values in all conditions combined. CONCLUSION: No differences were seen among conditions, indicating that DXA total body composition estimates may be relatively robust to the effects of acute, localized RE. However, investigation of segmental estimates is warranted due to RE-induced blood flow redistributio

    The Effects Of Acute Resistance Exercise On Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Measures Of Body Composition

    Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a popular method of body composition assessment; however, validity of BIA is thought to be highly dependent on adhering to pre-test criteria, including the abstinence from exercise prior to testing. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if acute, localized resistance exercise (RE) compromises the validity of BIA total body composition estimates. METHODS: In a crossover design, 16 healthy, resistance trained adults, including 7 females (age: 22.7 ± 1.9 y; height: 165.4 ± 8.4 cm; body mass: 62.1 ± 10.9 kg; body fat: 25.9 ± 7.3%) and 9 males (age: 24.3 ± 3.6 y; height: 179.1 ± 5.1 cm; body mass: 88.0 ± 7.6 kg; body fat: 18.4 ± 6.6%) completed three conditions in a randomized order: lower-body resistance exercise (RELOWER), upper-body resistance exercise (REUPPER), and rest (REST). The RE protocol consisted of a warm-up consisting of 2 sets of 12-15 repetitions of 3 upper-body exercises (upper) or 3 lower-body exercises (lower), followed by 5 sets of 10 repetitions per exercise, with 1-minute rest intervals. The REST condition involved no exercise. BIA (InBody 770) was completed immediately pre and post-exercise and at 15-, 30-, and 60-minutes post-exercise. BIA estimates of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) were analyzed using 3 x 5 (condition x time) analysis of variance with repeated measures, follow-up pairwise comparisons, and evaluation of the partial eta-squared (ηp2) effect sizes. RESULTS: Pre-exercise FM and FFM did not differ between conditions (0.1 to 0.4 kg; p \u3e 0.4 for all). Condition x time interactions were present for both FM (pp2 =0.48) and FFM (pp2 =0.45). Pairwise comparisons indicated that FM was lower in the REUPPER condition as compared to both REST (1.5 kg; pLOWER (1.3 kg; pUPPER condition as compared to both REST (1.3 kg; pLOWER (0.9 kg; pUPPER as compared to REST (1.0 kg; p=0.005) but no longer differed between REUPPER and RELOWER (0.4 kg; p=0.44). CONCLUSION: These data indicate that acute upper-body RE compromises the validity of BIA total body composition estimates compared to REST and lower-body RE and reinforces exercise abstinence as a pre-test consideration. Further exploration of the effects on segmental body composition data is warranted
