A measure of planning completeness that gives higher weights to more effective components may have yielded different results.
It is also possible that the summary measure of planning completeness we have used fails to reflect important heterogeneities in the effectiveness of specific components.
The formal agreements incorporated in contracts do provide some safeguards for the parties and all contracts rest upon norms of planning, precision and completeness ('presentiation') associated with the classical conception of the contract as a statement of the conditions governing the transaction.
7 In 2006, we reported our evaluation of European national strategic plans and showed wide differences in the completeness of plans in relation to their inclusion of factors identified by WHO as important.
The details are presented and a prototype product design planning system is implemented with a practical application in the semiconductor industry, system-on-a-chip product design planning, to validate the completeness and benefits of the proposed approach.
We found no evidence that the increased impact of the 2009 2010 pandemic in some countries relative to prepandemic years could be explained by shortcomings in national strategic pandemic plans, nor that a reduced impact could be explained by greater completeness of plans.
