The ordering of items in test forms and the selection of test items from a database can be extremely tedious and laborious when done manually. It would be extremely advantageous to be able to do both simultaneously using automated test form generation (ATFG). But the ATFG process can be unwieldy and cumbersome given the number of variables the creator must tackle. For example, "for an item bank of size 2,000, test length of 50 items, and upper limit of the number of pages in the test form equal to 15, the number of variables in the model is equal to 1,500,000" (Van der Linden & Diao 2013: 361). According to the article, "Integrating test-form formatting into automate test assembly" from Applied Psychological Measurement, "one of the goals of this research is to find out if test-production problems of realistic sizes can be solved" and make the simultaneous...
66). Furthermore, social software will only increase in importance in helping organizations maintain and manage their domains of knowledge and information. When networks are enabled and flourish, their value to all users and to the organization increases as well. That increase in value is typically nonlinear, where some additions yield more than proportionate values to the organization (McCluskey and Korobow, 2009). Some of the key characteristics of social software applications
76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come.

The
82). Both desktop and Web widgets have the same basic components. Fundamentally, they use Web compatible formats, even if intended to run in a desktop environment. This means that the core of the widget is HTML and CSS code which contains the actual content of the widget, namely text, linked images/video or content pulled from a server of Web service. Alternatively, the widget content can be created using Flash, although
Customer centricity then can also have a significant impact on the perspective an organization has of its market and the opportunities inherent within it and other, tangential and territory market areas as well. This aspect of blue ocean strategies being driven by customer's perspectives, preferences, unmet needs and wants further underscores its inherent value and also its usefulness from a strategy perspective. The ability to find uncontested markets, which
