“…Political stability is another prerequisite for the EGC model because stability has been shown to aid renewable energy governance (e.g. Blumer et al 2013). Without the financial stability offered by Reunion Island's regional, national and EU context, the EGC model would flounder as smaller companies may not be able to afford the time to attend meetings and give input, leaving only the most economically viable companies to take over the political agenda and potentially failing to address niche markets.…”

(2017). Translating EU renewable energy policy for insular energy systems: Reunion Island's quest for energy autonomy. Fennia 195: 2, pp. 125-141. ISSN 1798-5617.Recognition of the negative impacts of climate change has led to agreement on the need to decarbonise energy systems through the employment of renewable energy. With many national and transnational policies in place, the options available to insular energy systems (IES) differ from those of interconnected areas due to fragility in their production and distribution networks. Based on the concepts of policy mobility and translation, this study examines the interplay of EU renewable energy policy and insular governance processes aimed at achieving energy autonomy through renewable energy development. Reunion Island, a French Overseas Department and Region, is used as a case study to examine local energy governance processes, aspects that shape regional translation of national and EU policy, and the potential effects that create structures and pathways of energy transition. The study shows that Reunion Island's regional Energy Governance Committee has significant application potential as a governance tool in other IES and small islands within the EU, but that renewable energy development is restricted due to national policy measures and path dependent governance structural constraints.

“…the vision documents, with a low number of cases (Düntsch & Gediga, 2000) by organizing attributes of the analytical-evaluative framework into deterministic rules (Pawlak, 1997). New assumptions were derived elucidating causal relationships between case conditions that determine the visioning approaches and the generated outcomes (Blumer et al, 2013;Düntsch & Gediga, 2000).…”

“…Interviews were conducted on the basis of a formal questionnaire, as described in Klaus-Rosińska et al (2016). The questionnaire was compiled based on the literature concerning project success and failure factors (Balachandra & Friar, 1997;Betta et al, 2014;Blumer et al, 2013;Camilieri, 2011;Elkadi, 2013;Frączkowski et al, 2014;Jain & Triandis, 1997;Luglio & Bertazzoni, 2010;Mahmood et al, 2014;Pinto &, 1989;Zou et al, 2014) and based on Goodman & Ignacio (1999), which contains similar idea for civil engineering construction projects. Interviews were each 1-2 hours duration.…”

This article is based on research conducted at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology and was financed by the National Centre of Science with the purpose of identifying success and failure factors for university research projects. The research shows that the human factor was crucial in determining the outcome of university research projects. This article presents the analysis and results of selected aspects of a research project into human resource management. The study involves in-depth interviews with 40 project managers of university research projects. Based on interview responses, the following features are evaluated: main reasons for starting research projects, different methods of selecting the research project manager, research team member selection criteria, management styles used by research projects managers, and crucial problems connected with the human factor that occurred in the research projects being analyzed.
