Emergency management provides for certain stages starting from the identification of the situation, planning, organizing and coordinating the mode of action, training of the resources and personnel involved and the final evaluation of the event. In order to solve these emergencies, there are specialized structures that intervene and restore the state of normality. When the recorded situation or event exceeds a certain magnitude and the structures fail to cope with the negative effects, they request the support of the army. The main military structures required in the case of natural disasters are the combat engineers structures, which have the necessary equipment and training.

In addition to the theoretical considerations that will base the choice of pioneering case study by Robert McNamara in the field of defense resource management, it is also highlighted, by developing previous authors' ideas or recent references in the literature, the hypothesis that the army itself, institutionally speaking, has been an authentic model of managerial development.

It also shows the opportunities and the risks of using QFD instruments. By focusing resources on the key elements resulting from the real requirements of the clients, and on the qualitative standards specific to European and international market, to education and military technology it can be determined whether simple improvements are sufficient or new strategies are needed to increase the efficiency of the transformation process that all economic, education and military institutions have undergone in the context of integrating in UE and NATO structures.

In this context, the present paper analyses several perspectives of the military organisation as a management model. The approach has two main directions, both from military organisational internal environment and from the external, outstanding examples from literature being highlighted for the second.

The suggested algorithm highlights the obtaining of different equations of the robot’s movement by using Lagrange’s formalism. The calculus method provides the stressing of the concerned robot’s total kinetic energy, determines both the virtual elementary mechanical work and the generated propulsive force and moments. Once the different movement equations have been obtained, the authors will determine the research servomotors necessary for taking into service the mobile equipment of the MO-1 prehension device attached to the robot structure. The scientific procedure aims at choosing those research servomotors which thus obtained through a mathematical algorithm meet feasibility, economy, profitableness and flexibility criteria, in order to serve with minimal energetic consu...

The present paper proposes a resilience governance architecture model that can be embedded within organizations as a decision support system. By means of these managers are able to visualize at a glance an updated situation of the living system they deal with – their organization. The major result of this methodology is the framework that might be included in software tools that help managers in the decision-making process. The solution architecture is a generic solution framework meant to support system resilience architecture instruments due to the fact that digitalized normal and complex situations cannot be handled without a solution today

No matter the level of organizational maturity, the possible solutions for achieving this goal must be optimal from the point of view of the cost-effectiveness ratio and, in the same time, they should converge to a paradigmatic potential for valorizing in a ...

In the field of human resources, the temporary succession of different typologies of generations (Z, Millennials, etc.) has brought to the attention of theorists and practitioners the need to reconsider practices to reach the audience with the most appropriate message, in terms of gaining the most appropriate resource, its formation and loyalty throughout their career. An important role, certainly amplified by the context of the pandemic crisis, is held by the formative component (through basic specialized education and through specialized trainings or training sessions) and subsequently, the way in which good managerial practices are highlighted in it. In the general framework described in this article, it is int...

The main objective of the article is to identify a correlation between the efforts of organizations to survive on the one hand and the main tools that can ensure business continuity in the context of the economic and health crisis caused by the Covid pandemic. Periods of crisis, regardless of their nature, economic, social, health have as a consequence of the changes they propagate in all systems of society, a reorganization and rethinking of the functioning of private or public organizations.

Data to identify the optimal correlation (in terms of technical, system and operational views) between game and simulation, applicable in the military fi eld, based on the use of available airsoft weapons and specialized softwares existing on the specialized market for military and / or civilian use are envisaged. Our approach for this project maintains the common areas (resources, rules, actors) in the professional civil literature and the types of simulation defi ned in military documents: real simulation (it implies real people operating real systems), virtual simulation (it implies real people operating simulated systems) and constructive simulation (models and simulations which imply simulated people op...

Today, the cultural structure of the organization’s members, due to the need to have competent employees in correlation with the established objectives, is somewhat puzzled and dynamical. Thus, the decision-makers must take into account (mandatory) the cultural basis of the subordinates when choosing the best alternative for solving an organizational problem. From this perspective, Hofstede’s model can be one of the explanatory modalities of the organization’s cultural characteristics as a basis to identify the action’s solutions in that organization for the future.

Conceptual correlations in this spectrum are highlighted between emergencies, critical infrastructures, community resilience. Theoretical research is accompanied by examples taken from practice, the case study at national level being focused on the contribution made to the efficient management of the consequences of the processes specific to the preparation of the economy and the territory for defense. It is emphasized, based on the experience of the specific events of the Covid 19 dynamics, the role and importance of this sector of administrative activity in the critical infrastructure security plan.

It is well known that the analysis of motivation dynamics is an important starting point of how the organization manages to identify the ways to achieve the expected results, especially in the conditions of an unprecedented speed characterizing the contemporary market. If an educational organization is concerned, things can be much more complicated considering that it has to meet both the demands of corporate clients, such as potential employers/organizations, for a certain type of competent human resource, and the demands of individual clients, such as students, regarding the quality of the educational process. Thus, this study seeks to identify the sources of motivation of the students of ”Nicolae Balcescu”Land Forces Academy and to gene...

Briefly and from different angles, both from theory to practice and vice versa, the emphasis in this article is to highlight the main lines of effort, both theoretical and factual, necessary to be set and operationalized in order to enhance the specific knowledge of these assets, in terms of security and defense. Against this backdrop, the present approach regarding strategic resources is in fact useful to the military decision-makers from a wider functional perspective, especially in view of the current stage of the researches and studies carried out so far in this field, at national level.
