Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices (2008)
Journal Article
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Battisti, G., Celia, H., Clegg, C., Fu, X., …Peixoto, A. (2008). Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices

There is no doubt that management practices are linked to the productivity and performance of a company. However, research findings are mixed. This paper provides a multi-disciplinary review of the current evidence of such a relationship and offers s... Read More about Enhancing productivity: the role of management practices.

An agent-based simulation of in-store customer experiences (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Siebers, P., Aickelin, U., Celia, H., & Clegg, C. (2008). An agent-based simulation of in-store customer experiences.

Agent-based modelling and simulation offers a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. In this paper we describe the development of an agent-based simulation model, designed to help to understand the relationship between human resourc...
