![]() In 1982, agility was first mentioned in the business context as ‘the capacity to react quickly to rapidly changing circumstances’ (Brown and Agnew 1982, p. ( 2018) confirmed the high impact of an increasingly dynamic business environment and suggest agility as a differentiation strategy. ( 2019) emphasized a high agility level as a rewarding capability when aimed at the quick exploitation of business opportunities. Certain organizational capabilities can enable a company to respond appropriately to rapidly changing environmental conditions and to exploit these changes as business opportunities. 2010a), thus increasing competition (Vinodh 2010). This leads to growing complexity and uncertainty in the market (Vinodh et al. 2010b) and the frequency of environmental changes is increasing significantly (Ahlbäck et al. Customer demands are becoming more dynamic (Vinodh et al. By highlighting the close ties to strategic management and the derivation of a model to agile management, this research also contributes to strategic management research.Īttaining strong competitiveness and superior business performance constitutes a major challenge for firms, especially in a volatile business environment. This article contributes to agility research by integrating insights from various research streams on OA. ![]() Conceptual clarity of OA at the organizational level facilitates a systematic development of agility research and provides guidance for practitioners. Within this concept of an agile organization, management assumes various responsibilities, in particular, engaging in monitoring and decision-making functions. These are realized by a specific set of interdependent enablers. Viewed from a dynamic capability perspective, changing internal and external agility drivers necessitate the development of agility capabilities. As part of the conceptualization, I also consider the business environment and the impact of an increased OA level. Based on findings from each category, I develop a conceptual map of OA that (i) connects the agility categories and clarifies how they work, and (ii) proposes a framework for the tasks and responsibilities of management within an agile organization. ![]() From a qualitative analysis, I identify four agility categories: agility drivers, agility enablers, agility capabilities, and agility dimensions. A search in three databases yielded a final sample of 75 articles. I systematically review and compile previous findings and provide a coherent view of OA. Although research confirms a positive effect of OA on business performance, studies show conceptual imprecision. Organizational agility (OA) constitutes one option for prospering in this environment. Superior business performance is a central objective of any firm in an unpredictable environment. ![]()

![]() ![]() We’re going to be honest… we miss meeting Duke students and faculty in the Brandaleone Lab in the Edge and consulting on data problems! However, virtual data consultations over zoom have some advantages over an in-person data consultations at the library. If we cannot resolve a question in the chat session, we will make a referral for a more extended consultation. Data questions on chat cover our full range of data support. Whether you prefer to chat, zoom, or email, we hope to work with you on your next data question! ChatĮver had a quick question about how to visualize or manage your data, but weren’t sure where to get help? Having trouble figuring out how to get the data software to do what you need for class/research? CDVS offers roughly thirty hours of chat support each week. Six months and hundreds of online consultations later, we have developed a new appreciation for the online tools that allow us to partner with Duke researchers around the world. We appreciate your feedback on the data workshops and look forward to working with you in the upcoming year! data management data science data visualizationĪs students and classes moved online in the spring of 2020, the Center for Data and Visualization Sciences realized that it was time to expand our existing email ( and lab based consultation services to meet the data demands of online learning and remote projects. In addition to our online learning site, CDVS maintains a github site ( CDVS) as well as site focused on R learning materials ( Rfun). In 2021, we launched a new webpage designed to showcase our learning materials. While another sixty-six percent indicated that they expected a copy of the workshop materials (slides, data, code) even if they were unable to attend.Īs a result of our survey, CDVS will make an increasing amount of our content available online this spring. Roughly sixty-seven percent of the sample indicated they expected to have a recording of the session available. While we are delighted to learn that the majority of our respondents (87%) intend to attend the workshop (our turnout rate has traditionally been about 50%), we learned that a growing number of participants had other expectations (note: for this question, participants could choose more than one response). More specifically, we were curious about whether registering for an online session includes more than simply the expectation of attending the online workshop. ![]() With the rapid shift to online content in the last two years coupled with a growing body of online training materials, we are particularly interested in how our workshop attendees evaluate online courses and their expectations for these courses. 52% of respondents prefer online instruction, while another 24% would like to hybrid options Participant Expectations We hope to reevaluate our workshops communities preferences later this year and will continue to adjust formats as appropriate. Our goal for the spring is to continue offering “live” zoom sessions while continuing to explore possibilities for increasing the number of hybrid and in-person options. While some of our workshops participants (11%) prefer in-person workshops and others (24%) expressed a preference for hybrid workshops, a little over half of the survey respondents (52%) expressed a preference for live zoom workshops. We’d like to thank those who participated in our brief email survey and share a few of our observations based on the response that we received. In November, we surveyed our 2021 workshop participants to understand how we can better serve our attendees this spring. While the pandemic has shifted most of our data workshops online, we remain keenly interested in offering workshops that reflect the needs and preferences of the Duke research community. ![]() ![]() With a focus on data management, data visualization, and data science, we hope to provide a diverse set of approaches that can save time, increase the impact of your research, and further your career goals.

Jim, Matt, Hendrik, Yaobing, and a couple of others are the developers".Faasoft CUE Splitter is designed for both Windows users and Mac users to split CUE associated audio file like split MP3 CUE, split FLAC CUE, split M4A CUE, split APE CUE, split WAV CUE, Split OGG CUE, MPC, WV, TAK, TTA, AMR, AAC, AIFF, AU, RA, etc. The folks that have responded to you are not developers, by the way, at least what I read on the thread you're referencing here. Maybe ask on the forum if something changed or if maybe a bug is there. It certainly didn't used to work this way, as I've converted hundreds of cue-flac files over the years and always had the original file get replaced with the individual tracks, as per the wording in the option. I wonder if they've changed something in one of the newer versions and haven't changed the wording of the Convert Format option. "You know I just tried a conversion of a cue sheeted flac with "Replace original file on disk and in library," and the same thing happened to me, i.e., the original, single large flac file was still there after the conversion. I'm writing this becasue I've just got the following message as regards the matter from a man with a nickname "timwtheov", who is on Interact. I can't fuly take advantage of the MC, because I have a massive amount of flac files with cue. I'm asking the developers to finally make it clear as to whether it's possible or was possible for JRiver to automatically delete the souce flac file after being converted to individual flac files. So if there is no way for JRiver to automate the process of deleting the source file after the conversion, there is no need to reply to this message. You want flac-to-flac, so "Convert files to: FLAC Encoder," and then you can choose the folder options under "Options." I always choose the same directory as the original file, and I also replace the original file "on disk and in library," as I don't want 2 copies of the same album, but obviously all of that is up to you:Īgain, try it out with an album or two to start, maybe without replacing the original file in your initial attempt(s), till you're familiar with it." That will bring you to the Convert Format dialogue where you can choose the options you want. You will have to put a couple of the cue sheets back into MC (and later all of them if you decide to split them all into tracks), then highlight the tracks, right click, select "Library Tools" and then "Convert Format:" Try it on an album or two first and then once you get used to it, try a batch. Convert Format works pretty quickly too, even if you have a lot of albums stored as cue/big flac: I could get through about 2,000 tracks in about 30-45 minutes with my five-year old PC. However, why not just break the big flac files down into individual flac tracks using MC's tool "Covert Format?" Wer's suggestion of moving to individual flac files is a very good one, as you'll have all the benefits of tagging (saving tags into the individual flac files, for example), plus since flac is natively gapless, you're not going to lose the gapless quality of the big flac file + cue sheet. ![]() "I saw in your other post you had moved in your big flac files in Explorer and then reimported them into MC after having deleted them prior to the move. Is this for for sure that nothing can be done about it?

To make setup faster, a quick start guide is supplied with resource links to online tutorials and help resources. By the time the pilot notices a problem, the parachute will already be ejected. Detection of a free fall typically takes just 0.5 seconds or about 6 feet of free fall. The SATS-MINI can detect if the drone suddenly falls, rolls, or flips. The parachute system is entirely self-contained and not reliant on the power of the Phantom 4, so it works even if the copter’s battery has a complete failure. The back of the launcher provides a handy place to mount the battery and the SATS-MINI. The launcher can be installed and removed without tools. The Phantom 4 bundle includes a carbon fiber flip board launcher that clips into one of the landing gear frames. The parachute can easily work at heavier load weights of 3.6kg or more. The parachute has a nominal rating of 4lb (1.8kg) at 15 feet per second (4.6mps) descent rate after deployment, providing a gentle landing. The centerpiece of the parachute system is the Fruity Chutes 36" (optional 42") Iris Ultra Zero parachute, weighing just 1.3oz (37g). The launcher has no regulatory or transportation limitations, so you can take your Phantom 4 with your Fruity Chutes parachute system anywhere you want. The launcher has a high energy torsion spring that efficiently ejects the parachute down and away from the Phantom 4. To launch the parachute, the bundle provides the Skycat XS Flip Board parachute launcher. Works with all version of the Phantom 4, including the RTK version.

Hypothesized Causes Of Pica ExplainedĬats know that meowing will get you to look at them, and making crinkling sounds can accomplish the same goal. Ingestion of bizarre objects can result in life-threatening internal blockages requiring urgent veterinary medical attention. Likewise, many young moggies will chew and tear at objects when exhibiting predatory behaviour during play, pieces are torn off but NOT consumed. When adult moggies exhibit suckling behaviours, material isn’t consumed, simply sucked repetitively and often accompanied with front paw kneading.
