Organisasieleiers kan hulle risikobestuursbeleggings optimaliseer deur nuwe metodes te ondersoek
Alle staats- en privaat organisasies moet die sistemiese risiko’s van ons komplekse wêreld hanteer. Sulke inherent komplekse kwessies is egter moeilik om te bestuur, selfs wanneer beduidende hulpbronne in die implementering van formele risikobestuursraamwerke en verwante prosesse benut word. Dit is daarom belangrik vir organisasieleiers om nuwe…http://news.nwu.ac.za/organisational-leaders-can-optimise-their-risk-management-investments-exploring-new-methods

Dis moontlik om saans te kook omdat termiese energie gestoor kan word
’n Mens kan nou saans sonkragstowe gebruik om warm etes voor te berei, aangesien termiese energie in stelsels gestoor kan word. Sommige stelsels werk egter beter as ander, en daar is ruimte vir verbetering. So sê prof Ashmore Mawire van die navorsingsgroep vir sontermiese energie by die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU). Hy het onlangs ’n…http://news.nwu.ac.za/night-time-cooking-solar-possible-thermal-energy-storage
