Intellectual productivity management: investigation of observation and evaluation models for meetings

Abstract

Our study aims to understand mechanisms to maximize the performance of intellectual activity and accelerate tool and system development for practical uses. In this study we made a focus on meetings which is typical intellectual interaction and tested applicability of transaction-based management. First, we integrated the transaction-based evaluation model for meetings by taking pre/post-related activities into account. Then we surveyed effects of key activity indicators to key performance indicators and developed covariance structuring models based on a series of correlation and regression analyses. Finally we hypothetically proposed a managerial model for increasing intellectual productivity of meetings and conferences and reinforcing project management capabilities.
