This was important in order to bear in mind "the difficulties involved in policing modern societies and the operational choices which must be made in terms of priorities and resources". ( 287).
This study has provided the first assessment of the impact of these operational choices on performance using computerized simulations, providing the means to compare a full range of designs in a realistic epidemiological context.
Along with Ostrom (1990), this moves the analysis from matters of operational choice (how much R, F given ∂R/∂F) to questions of collective choice (how rules on operational choice are decided upon; how ∂R/∂F is thereby accounted for) and constitutional choice (how rules on collective choice are produced).
Respondents underlined the need for prioritisation and for a more operational choice of MDGs, less influenced by global politics, and adjusted to the capacities of nations, especially for developing countries.
In this sense the definition of SD as people having a HAM-D score of > 10 is an operational choice for detecting people without diagnosis of DE but with a relevant depressive symptomatology that may result in antidepressant prescription.
Although the majority of units we studied were procedure based focused factories, we believe that the proposed distinction between different types of focus leads to a better understanding of the relations between focus, operational choices, and the operational performance of an organization.
There are only a handful of studies that assess the effect of operational choices on program results in a quantitative fashion.
When support for decisions-making is needed, the issues underlying operational choices should be understandable to their intended audience, which could be a significant challenge, but could be achieved by the 'analytical-deliberative' approach of the National Research Council in the USA [ 13] and the extended peer community approach [ 87, 88].
In the book, Ton details four "operational choices" central to the strategy: offer less, standardize and empower, cross-train, and operate with slack.
This framework is outlined in her 2014 book "The Good Jobs Strategy," which details four "operational choices" central to the strategy: offer less, standardize and empower, cross-train, and operate with slack.
