	Perspectives on grid: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts
		The underlying resource model used by components involved in grids should be abstract enough to support changes in the underlying definitions of resources, as well as to accommodate new types of resources to be defined.
		Grid software needs to deal with resources consistently (this is where CIM comes in) and without any hard-wired dependencies on either the definition or type of resource.
		Across a grid, users and data want to be able to access information in the format they are interested in (like a file or a stream of bytes) as if the information was local (not to mention, in a secure fashion).

	Edwards - The World in a Machine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As the grid scales of models and their time-steps began to shrink, and as meteorologists sought to model the entire globe, the lack of global uniformly gridded data increasingly became a problem.
		The models are run until they achieve a stable ("equilibrium") state, understood to be their model "climate."[35] This simulated climate may then be compared to observed climatological averages of the actual Earth.
		Climate modelers went public with claims that human activities were likely to alter the climate, and world dynamics modelers predicted imminent collapse of human societies in a world ravaged by overpopulation and overextraction of limited resources.

	Managerial grid model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Managerial Grid Model (1964) is a behavioral leadership model developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton.
		As shown in the figure, the model is represented as a grid with concern for production as the X-axis and concern for people as the Y-axis; each axis ranges from 1 (Low) to 9 (High).

	CEO - Caucasus Environment Outlook
		There are two distinctive models of coping with environmental hazards and their consequences in the region.
		model of hazard mitigation is not based on Paterism d’etat approach due to the simple reason that the weakened governments of the three republics are unable to perform “parental” functions any more.
		The roots of this disaster can be seen in managerial practices adopted by then Soviet authorities some 25-30 years ago, when it seemed cheaper and easier to build new housing in the outskirts of the city, rather then to reconstruct the old, over-crowded historical centre.

	Human Relations Training
		Phase II, the largest component of the training, was devoted to experiential learning exercises such as self-ratings on the managerial grid, partition exercises, judgment, in-basket, listening and interview exercises.
		There were numerous individual and group exercises including self-ratings on the managerial grid, an in-basket exercise, a listening exercise, and a corrective interview role play.
		In order to be considered a model, a program had to be intended for adult workers and target one or more of the emotional and social competencies associated with emotional intelligence.

	Leading
		The dimensions identified at the University of Michigan provided the basis for the development of the managerial grid model developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton.
		The solution to a managerial situation is contingent on the factors that impinge on the situation.
		Another aspect of the contingency model theory is that the leader-member relations, task structure, and position power dictate a leader's situational control.

	CEO - Caucasus Environment Outlook
		Since all these countries aspire to EU membership, they work hard to harmonize their laws and managerial mechanisms with existing European ones, which in turn leads to ever-growing regional cooperation and establishment of a number of joint structures.
		It is mainly concentrated in already existing or planned industries and infrastructure, often revitalizing old Soviet enterprises, and includes development of the most easily extractable mineral deposits, even if they are not economically viable in the end and are thus soon abandoned.
		The number and area of officially protected areas will grow, with their status being upgraded as well, and new, comprehensive standards and managerial practices will be introduced and enforced.

	P3hr Grid
		In examining successful leadership within their own organisations it was rarely possible to identify behaviour that could clearly be classified as evidence of either one of these extremes.
		In January 1964 Bob Blake and Jane Mouton published The Managerial Grid not only as a new model and attempt to explain human behaviour but also as a powerful tool designed to improve human effectiveness and develop sound leadership.
		Grid is a tool that has stood the test of time.

	Change Project: Robert Blake Interview
		Yet his Grid system - developed with his sidekick Jane Mouton, and marketed through their company Scientific Methods since 1961 - actually does help people who are not steeped in psychology to see themselves and those they work with more clearly, to understand their interactions, and identify the sources of disruptions, delays, resistance, and conflicts.
		It is not surprising, perhaps, that the Grid rose out his experience with Esso (now Exxon) - a company built on hydrocarbons, on exchange rates and contracts, a company not known for its warm, fuzzy human qualities, or its tolerance for the bafflingly inexact twists and turns of the human personality.
		Once the model is created by the top it gets passed down into the company and people down through a certain level are given a chance to take a crack at it, find the potholes.

	Managing by the Grid
		Plotting these concerns on a grid and then identifying five different management styles based on the relationship between these two elements is the basis for the Managerial Grid theory.
		The Managerial Grid model validates that at least half of the manager's role is to manage people.
		By using and understanding the Managerial Grid, project managers can focus more on the human side of the management equation, and can identify ways to modify their managerial strategy based on resources and circumstances.

	Kevin Sudnik's Online Journal: Entries Labelled "MGMT251"
		I did not have access to the entire text of the paper, but the excerpt I found suggests that both genders are "at least equally effective in the business world and that success is affected by diverse individual factors and has very less to do with gender." I would have to agree with this statement.
		The managerial grid labeled five different managerial styles based the varying degrees of concern for people and task.
		These managerial styles according to the managerial grid model are: Impoverished, Authority-Compliance, Country Club, Middle of the Road, and Team.

	Managerial Styles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By developing models to display dual dimensions of a leader's style, researchers were able to consolidate many of the independent thrusts of studies.
		Their model was based on the manager's assumptions regarding his "concern for people," the satisfying of their needs, and his "concern for production," the reaching of production objectives.
		The model has had its most informative value when surveys are completed not only by the manager himself but also by his subordinates and superiors concerning him.

	A visual tour of Open Grid Services Architecture
		Grid computing is a promising emerging technology that is growing in mindshare and relevance in the industry.
		You can find many definitions of Grid computing (see Resources), but the essence of the grid is the federation of computing resources to accelerate application processing, plus the virtualization of these resources.
		While OGSI and grid core services are generally applicable to any distributed computing system, grid program execution class is unique to the grid model of distributed task execution that supports high-performance computing, parallelism, and distributed collaboration.

	SYMLOG and Leadership Grid® (Blake and Mouton)
		Although the theory underlying the grid takes the study of leadership beyond mere trait analysis to the examination of behaviors, it is still more limited than SYMLOG field theory.
		The basic two-dimensional model proposed by Blake and Mouton (as well as those offered by many other leadership theorists) fails to account for myriad organizational settings, situations, and leadership orientations.
		Note that the Leadership Grid, when transposed to the SYMLOG space (as shown in the accompanying figure), explains only behaviors associated with the PF quadrant.

		Five contingency models are explored...(what works in one organization may not work in another; e.g., Linda Wachner of Warnaco, p.
		Effective group performance depends upon the proper match between the leader's style of interacting with subordinates and the degree to which the situation gives control and influence to the leader.
		This model is often too complicated for managers/leaders to actually put into place in organizations.

		As fire science programs begin to offer these model courses and state training and certification agencies begin to recognize them, the professional development model can move from a concept to a practice.
		With model lower-level (associate) curriculum outlines developed and established upper-level (baccalaureate) courses available, the major components are in place to move towards a national system for fire-related higher education.
		An effective model for a State professional development "summit" was presented at the FESHE IV conference.

	Concepts of Leadership
		The ideal is not to lock yourself in to a type of behavior discussed in the model, but to realize that every situation calls for a different approach or behavior to be taken.
		This model suggests that leaders can be put into one of these four categories and there are times when one approach is appropriate and times when it would not be.

	Contingency Theory - Fiedler Hersey Blanchard Vroom Yetton
		Fiedler’s approach departs from trait and behavioral models by asserting that group performance is contingent on the leader’s psychological orientation and on three contextual variables: group atmosphere, task structure, and leader’s power position.
		In Fiedler's model, leadership effectiveness is the result of interaction between the style of the leader and the characteristics of the environment in which the leader works.
		With this model came the expansion of the notion of relationship and task dimensions to leadership and adds a readiness dimension.

	Profile H.R.D.
		The “Grid” approach to management development places the emphasis on changing organisation culture before putting in place the necessary strategies and actions which lead to Investors in People.
		The Grid development model is based on several active interventions and uses negotiation, participation and involvement throughout, although data gathering and diagnosis generally uses a combination of communication and consultation.
		The Grid 3Rs model is an effective tool for changing behaviour because it focuses our attention to “operational conduct” and enables us to correlate what we observe in ourselves and others to underlying assumptions and to the consequences of that conduct.

		But other components of Grid interoperability are often just as difficult to address, and are often overlooked in national and international arenas.
		The awards won by two demonstrations by PRAGMA members, the "Trans-Pacific Grid Datafarm" team and the "Multi-Continental Telescience" team emphasized that collaborative science applications are a significant force behind the development of high-performance networking.
