Authors: Madsen, Henrik; Advisor: -; Participants: Falk, Anne Katrine (2017) - We present a new approach for real-time optimisation of large river and reservoir systems that combines physically-based hydrological-hydrodynamic models with surrogate control models within a Model Predictive Control framework. The approach is demonstrated in the optimisation of storage operations of the Murrumbidgee River system in New South Wales, Australia. This system consists of multiple reservoirs with pronounced travel times between the reservoirs. The test shows a large potential for improving operational efficiency of large water systems.

Authors: Petricevic, Olga; Advisor: -; Participants: Teece, David J. (2019) - The rapid reshaping of the global economic order requires fundamental shifts in international business scholarship and management practice. New forms of protectionist policies, new types of internationalization motives, and new tools of techno-nationalism may lead to what we call ‘‘bifurcated governance’’ at the macro-level and ‘‘value chain decoupling’’ at the micro-level. As a result, innovation networks will require novel reconfigurations. We examine the emerging constraints on multinational enterprises, imposed by a bifurcated
world order. We also discuss how the dynamic capabilities framework can guide scholars and managers alike to achieve new forms of evolutionary fitness.

Authors: Veh, Annika; Advisor: -; Participants: Go ¨ bel, Markus; Vogel, Rich (2019) - The study of reputation figures prominently in management research, yet the increasing number of publications makes it difficult to keep track of this growing body of literature. This paper provides a systematic review of the literature based on a large-scale bibliometric analysis. We draw on bibliographic data of 5885 publications
published until 2016, inclusively, and combine co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling with network visualization. Results show how research on corporate reputation is embedded in the broader field of scholarship on reputation in general. When zooming into the publication cluster on corporate reputation more closely, the concept’s origins in economics, organizational studies, and marketing as well as corresponding theoretical and methodological disc...

Authors: Taecharungroj, Viriya; Advisor: -; Participants: Muthuta, Morakot; Boonchaiyapruek, Pheereeya (2019) - A number of cities and towns have used sustainability as a brand position, but most appear to have focused on the environmental aspect of sustainability, while the adoption of other dimensions of sustainability, including social and economic, has been limited. The objective of this study is to create a branding tool that can help towns develop a brand position that is credible, drives growth, involves residents and fosters sustainability. This sustainable place branding analysis was adapted from the importance–performance analysis widely used in business and in the tourism industry. The data were collected from the residents of ten towns in the vicinity of Bangkok, Thailand. The tool provides mayors with a holistic analysis of
sustainability, suggests dimensions to be considered i...

Authors: Chen, Jinran; Advisor: -; Participants: Xie, Lijuan (2019) - Industrial policy is an important means for governments to promote industrial development and accelerate economic growth. This paper mainly uses the Chinese Law and Regulation Database as the source of the relevant laws and regulations of China’s industrial policies from 2003 to 2015. On this basis, it empirically examines the impact of industrial policies on economic growth. The study finds that China’s industrial policy has significant positive effects on economic growth and that industrial structure rationalization is an important channel of industrial policy to improve economic growth. The findings are also valid under a series of robustness tests and endogenous corrections. The results of heterogeneity tests confirm that there are heterogeneous effects pertaining to industrial ...

Authors: Yang, Zhifeng; Advisor: -; Participants: Yi, Yujun; Wang, Xuan; Yin, Xinan (2017) - Changes in natural hydrologic regime due to intensive human activities and climatic changes are largely responsible for the ecological degradation of shallow macrophytic lakes, and thus ecological water should be supplemented in order to prevent the drying up of the lake. In this study, we investigated ecological water supplement in Baiyang Lake, a typical shallow macrophytic lake in northern China. It is recommended that water should be supplemented simultaneously through the northern and southern routes to increase the hydraulic disturbance in the central lake area and the water quality near the entrance.

Authors: Ma, Zhipeng; Advisor: -; Participants: Wang, Sen; Wan, Donghui; Zhang, Kang; Zou, Huazhi (2017) - In order to prevent flood and drought disasters, cascade reservoirs and embankments have been constructed in the main river, and numerous sluices and pumps have also been installed in the delta of the Pearl River. These manmade projects have caused substantial changes in the hydraulic regime in the Pearl River basin. We propose a 1D/2D coupled flood model to precisely characterize flood flows accounting for how the water flows out of and then returns to the main channel.

Authors: Wang, Zongzhi; Advisor: -; Participants: Cheng, Liang; Liu, Kelin; Hu, Xia (2017) - MSWRMS is a new approach in Chinese water resources management. Issues including the dynamic change and interannual variability of management indicators with socioeconomic development and water resource, the feedback between indicators, setting dynamic annual management target, changing water use behavior and adjusting industrial structure to fulfil control target must be addressed in the MSWRMS implementation. The Most Stringent Water Resources Management System Lab (for short MSWRMS-Lab) is an effective tool that supports addressing the above issues.

Authors: Tetsuya Sumi; Advisor: -; Participants: Kantoush, Sameh A. (2018) - The major threat to extend the life expectancy of dams in Japan is reservoir sedimentation. Upgrading and retrofitting aging dams is mandatory to maintain their purposes and safety over the productive life cycle. A perfectly sustainable solution for every situation does not exist, but it is essential to select a sediment management strategy appropriate for the particulars of each reservoir, considering both the sedimentation issues in the reservoir and environmental conditions in the channels downstream of the dam. The key criteria are timing
of implementation and an appropriate combination of viable sediment management strategies.
