This paper examines the major barriers to the deployment of geothermal, small hydro and advanced coal power generation technologies in Vietnam. It ranks their severity by applying the analytical hierarchy process to data from a survey of 37 domestic experts and stakeholders. Key barriers to a...

In this article, we assess the future prospects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the perspective of a developing country, drawing on Vietnam as a case study. First, we review the performance of the CDM and describe the evolution of carbon markets on the path towards a post-2012...

In R\&D projects, managers face a high degree of uncertainty due to their lack of experience with innovative products. However, managers, usually within a group, have to decide under uncertainty, to make the projects advance. In this context, some delays result from indecision or invalidation of...

This paper addresses the integration of ill-know requirements (imprecision or uncertainty on f quantities or due dates) in a requirement plan (expressed in terms of quantities by periods). Ill-known requirements may come from a customer of the supply chain (forecast orders) or from a...

This paper provides an introduction to the mathematical theory of possibility, and examines how this tool can contribute to the analysis of far distant futures. The degree of mathematical possibility of a future is a number between O and 1. It quantifies the extend to which a future event is...

The purpose of this study is to find out how local translations of a generic management system reduce organizational uncertainties, produce technical and organizational knowledge, and introduce cooperative relations, cross-functional learning and problem identification and solving. The study...

Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) have been developed in Engineering Designactivities in order to improve the productivity of these activities. Nevertheless it is still verydifficult to identify the impact of such Systems on the Engineering Design Performance.In this paper our goal is to...
