Line management in intelligence work takes place on at least four levels. The first and the most important is running agents from, and by, the Office. The second kind of line management could be called impression management, as it is a kind of self-management. The third concerns the construction of a network of subagents, for instance by the Office, which sent a ready-made network to the agent in the field, who then manages it; or else by the agents themselves. This is because the fourth element of line management is the recruitment and management of the informants, both regular and accidental. As in any kind of organization, management varies in its success; but there are cases of mismanagement. The means and the methods of line management in intelligence are partly standard, but also at times unique.

Health care managers are looking to other industries for assistance in designing strategies to respond to changing environments. In the evolving environment of managed care, operational success depends on successful management of fiscal resources. Product line management can be a key component of organizational response to change. This article describes the successful implementation of a product line management program at a large Midwestern hospital, and presents advice to plastic surgical nurses to undertake in their own facilities.

Talk Talk Technology has an ongoing programme of Dynamic Line Management (DLM), aimed at improving the performance of ADSL broadband connections. Choosing the most appropriate configuration, or profile, for an individual line allows a balance to be reached between achieving a high line speed and a stable customer experience. Among the objectives of DLM are to determine the likely line speed of new connections and to identify lines that might benefit from an updated profile.
Addressing the questions raised by TalkTalk regarding DLM requires three complementary types of modelling: physical modelling of the electrical characteristics of ADSL lines (these are existing copper telephone lines); information modelling of the associated communication channel, taking into account the levels of noise and the coding of ADSL signals; and finally statistical modelling, which enables data gathered from the exchange to be used to construct relationships between key variables and to identify lines that might be faulty or on poor profiles. The work of the Study Group 2010 contributed mainly to developing the statistical modelling. The report summarises the progress that was made and the opportunities for developing these techniques further.

To answer this question, we need to look at the two terms, ‘supervision’ and ‘line management’ separately.SupervisionWhat is supervision? What does it mean to supervise? One dictionary definition says that it is ‘to superintend, oversee the execution of a task etc. and to oversee the actions or work of a person’. Chapter 3 considers a different form of supervision, which is especially relevant to informal educators, but for the moment let us use the term in its generic, everyday meaning.

VII.—MORALE WHEN an undertaking is nationally sponsored and, in part or in whole, Government financed; and when competition between itself and similar undertakings is non‐existent or remote, an atmosphere of security tends to creep in. In all except the most forceful personalities such security is apt to breed complacency.

THE section whose efficiency should be least affected by the requirements of over‐suitability is the well‐established factory for the repair and overhaul of replaceable units, and this consideration adds much weight to arguments expressing the desirability of such unit parts for aircraft. The losses due to over‐suitability in this work can be considerably reduced by budgetary control, good planning and adequate spares, and at the same time the losses in other departments due to over‐suitability within themselves may be reduced by the reduction of the work required from them, and by far the most productive efforts to this end are those directed to the pursuance of the practices of absolute interchangeability of units. There is at the present time a movement towards this ideal, but the movement is slow and much remains to be done. In specifications and aircraft designs this ideal should be sought, and it will not be reached until every unit subject to wear and tear is a quickly detachable, easily replaceable unit, and absolute interchangeability is not achieved until the carrying out of such a replacement entails no more work on the aircraft than is required by the simple detachment and replacement of the unit.
