Abstract Developing new technologies pose challenges for modern organizations, including service organizations. The main goal of the article was to present the results of exploration of the passenger car repair process using the Celonis Snap program in the example of an authorized service station. Realization of the main goal was assigned to a partial goal, which was to approximate and present the existing state of knowledge regarding process mining. The following research methods were used in the research procedure: systematic review of the literature on the subject and participant observation. Process mining was performed using the Celonis Snap program. The first section of the article, which is of epistemological character, presents the assumptions of process mining. The next one characterizes the empirical structure of the organization under study and the data generated in it. In the following sections, the course of the exploration process of the repair process, results and directions of further research are presented.

Abstract This study is centered around a set of research questions that aim to explain how sustainability balanced scorecard architectures with sustainability parameters either embedded or treated as a separate perspective relate to environmental investment decision-making. The research also examines the mediating role of sustainability balanced scorecard knowledge and moderating role of strategic risk information. This article presents the results and answers to the research questions via conducting an experimental study approach using a two-factor factorial design. This is possibly the first study that determines, through an experimental procedure conducted with managers working in large manufacturing companies, whether any significant difference exists in environmental investment decision outcomes when decision-makers are presented with either an architecture where sustainability is embedded with the traditional four perspectives of balanced scorecards versus when it is presented as a separate fifth perspective. Furthermore, the development of an integrated model is possibly a significant contribution to the extant literature.
本研究围绕一系列研究问题,旨在解释具有可持续性参数的可持续性平衡计分卡架构如何与环境投资决策相关。研究还考察了可持续性平衡计分卡知识的中介作用和战略风险信息的调节作用。本文通过采用双因素析因设计的实验研究方法,提出了研究结果和研究问题的答案。这可能是第一项研究,通过对大型制造公司的管理人员进行的实验程序来确定,当决策者看到可持续性嵌入平衡计分卡的传统四个视角的架构时,环境投资决策结果是否存在显著差异,而当决策者看到可持续性作为一个单独的第五个视角时。此外,综合模型的发展可能是对现有文献的重大贡献。

Abstract The aim of this article was to estimate the total efficiency of teaching activity carried out in Polish higher education institutions in 2015. The study used the EBM model belonging to the nonparametric DEA method. The output of the education process was measured by the number of graduates of the first-cycle and second-cycle studies and long-cycle studies, the number of doctoral degrees awarded, the number of postgraduate studies certificates issued, and the number of academic teachers and the total value of teaching activity revenue, the total value of state budget subsidies along with fees for educational services and fixed assets. Efficiency measurement was made for two variants: M1 and M2. The obtained research results indicate that on average, the difference between the indicators of the total efficiency of teaching activity under the two empirical models is 0.00. This is due to the fact that the share of budget subsidies and fees paid by students of part-time studies, in the revenues from teaching activity is at the level of 87%. There is also a positive but weak correlation between the total efficiency ratios and financial results obtained from teaching activities.
摘要本文旨在评估2015年波兰高等教育机构教学活动的总体效率。本研究采用了属于非参数DEA方法的EBM模型。教育过程的产出是通过第一周期、第二周期和长周期研究的毕业生人数、授予的博士学位数量、颁发的研究生证书数量、学术教师人数和教学活动收入总额来衡量的,国家预算补贴以及教育服务和固定资产费用的总价值。对两种变体进行了效率测量:M1和M2。研究结果表明,两个实证模型下的教学活动总效率指标平均差异为0.00。这是因为非全日制学习的学生所支付的预算补贴和费用在教学活动收入中所占的份额为87%。总效率比率与从教学活动中获得的财务结果之间也存在正但弱的相关性。

Abstract The main aim of the paper is to investigate and discuss the influence of digital transformation (DT) on the processes, tools, and outcomes of project management. It seems to be accepted that not only has the digital economy a great impact on the technologies used, but it affects the transition of strategies, business models, structures, or competences. The objective of the research demonstrated in this paper was to identify the main dimensions and scope of the impact of DT on the area of project management. The conclusions as to the multidimensionality of this impact were drawn on the basis of empirical investigations conducted on a sample of around a hundred of project managers and on the analyses of their perception of the most important aspects of DT. The crucial themes, as well as the advantages and barriers of DT, were discussed briefly.
摘要本文的主要目的是调查和讨论数字化转型(DT)对项目管理过程、工具和结果的影响。人们似乎普遍认为,数字经济不仅对所使用的技术产生了巨大影响,而且影响了战略、商业模式、结构或能力的转变。本文所展示的研究目的是确定DT对项目管理领域影响的主要维度和范围。关于这种影响的多维性的结论是在对大约一百名项目经理进行的实证调查以及对他们对DT最重要方面的看法的分析的基础上得出的。简要讨论了DT的关键主题以及优势和障碍。

The Reserve Price Optimization for Publishers on Real-Time Bidding on-Line Marketplaces with Time-Series Forecasting 基于时间序列预测的在线实时竞价市场上出版商的保留价优化
IF 1.1 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.2478/fman-2020-0013

Abstract Today's Internet marketing ecosystems are very complex, with many competing players, transactions concluded within milliseconds, and hundreds of different parameters to be analyzed in the decision-making process. In addition, both sellers and buyers operate under uncertainty, without full information about auction results, purchasing preferences, and strategies of their competitors or suppliers. As a result, most market participants strive to optimize their trading strategies using advanced machine learning algorithms. In this publication, we propose a new approach to determining reserve-price strategies for publishers, focusing not only on the profits from individual ad impressions, but also on maximum coverage of advertising space. This strategy combines the heuristics developed by experienced RTB consultants with machine learning forecasting algorithms like ARIMA, SARIMA, Exponential Smoothing, and Facebook Prophet. The paper analyses the effectiveness of these algorithms, recommends the best one, and presents its implementation in real environment. As such, its results may form a basis for a competitive advantage for publishers on very demanding online advertising markets.
摘要当今的互联网营销生态系统非常复杂,有许多竞争对手,交易在几毫秒内完成,决策过程中需要分析数百个不同的参数。此外,卖家和买家都在不确定性下运作,没有关于拍卖结果、购买偏好以及竞争对手或供应商策略的完整信息。因此,大多数市场参与者都努力使用先进的机器学习算法来优化他们的交易策略。在本出版物中,我们提出了一种确定出版商保留价格策略的新方法,不仅关注个人广告印象的利润,还关注广告空间的最大覆盖率。该策略将经验丰富的RTB顾问开发的启发式算法与ARIMA、SARIMA、Exponential Smoothing和Facebook Prophet等机器学习预测算法相结合。本文分析了这些算法的有效性,推荐了最佳算法,并介绍了其在实际环境中的实现。因此,它的结果可能会为出版商在要求苛刻的在线广告市场上形成竞争优势奠定基础。

Abstract All sophisticated management accounting practices used in hospitals require a functional costing system, which allows for better cost calculation of medical services. This is important for the hospitals because they should always look for the possibilities to improve their outcomes. This study evaluates the effects of various structural factors on quality of costing system and magement accounting practices and examines how these two constructs impact on hospital performance. The data was collected using a questionnaire survey carried out among chief accountants and hospital managers in Polish and English hospitals. Multiple regression was employed to analyze the data. The findings confirmed the earlier studies that hospital performance depends on the quality of cost calculation, as well as on management accounting practices. On the other hand, the quality of cost calculation depends on hospital size and a level of computerization.
摘要医院中使用的所有复杂的管理会计实践都需要一个功能性的成本核算系统,以便更好地计算医疗服务的成本。这对医院来说很重要,因为他们应该始终寻找改善结果的可能性。本研究评估了各种结构因素对成本核算体系和图像会计实践质量的影响,并考察了这两种结构如何影响医院绩效。这些数据是通过对波兰和英国医院的首席会计师和医院经理进行的问卷调查收集的。采用多元回归方法对数据进行分析。研究结果证实了早期的研究,即医院的绩效取决于成本计算的质量,以及管理会计实践。另一方面,成本计算的质量取决于医院的规模和计算机化水平。

Abstract Household appliances are the biggest contributor to household energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. One of the ways to reduce emissions and conserve energy is to increase the use of energy-efficient appliances (EEAs). Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the study investigated the factors that influence the purchase of EEAs by young consumers in South Africa. Young customers are the customers of tomorrow and can help to prevent global ecological collapse through sustainable consumption. The study extended the TPB by adding two individual constructs (moral norms and environmental concern) and two situational constructs (informational publicity and perceived benefits). In addition, the study examined the effect of purchase intention on purchase behavior. The cross-sectional survey method was used for data collection in the quantitative study. Data was collected from final year undergraduate students at two South African universities. The results indicated that the extended TPB model can be used to predict the purchase intention of EEAs. Also, purchase intention positively affects purchase behavior. Theoretically, the study extended the TPB to create a unique model of intention to purchase EEA. Practical suggestions focus on what business and government should do to improve the purchase of EEA.
家用电器是家庭能源消耗和二氧化碳排放的最大贡献者。减少排放和节约能源的方法之一是增加使用节能电器(EEAs)。本研究基于计划行为理论(TPB),对南非年轻消费者购买电子产品的影响因素进行了研究。年轻的消费者是未来的消费者,他们可以通过可持续消费来帮助防止全球生态崩溃。本研究通过增加两个个体构念(道德规范和环境关注)和两个情境构念(信息公开和感知利益)来扩展TPB。此外,本研究检视了购买意向对购买行为的影响。在定量研究中,数据收集采用横断面调查方法。数据是从南非两所大学的应届本科生中收集的。结果表明,扩展的TPB模型可用于预测EEAs的购买意愿。此外,购买意愿正向影响购买行为。从理论上讲,本研究对城市规划进行了扩展,建立了一个独特的环境环境购买意愿模型。实际的建议集中在企业和政府应该做些什么来改善EEA的购买。

Assessing the Utility of Retailer Based on Generalized Costs of End-Consumers 基于终端消费者广义成本的零售商效用评估
IF 1.1 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.2478/fman-2020-0003

Abstract This paper gives a methodology to estimate the generalized costs of end-consumers visiting any retailer. The attractiveness and utility of retailers for end-consumers have been calculated based on their possible generalized costs according to their choice. According to the developed model, analysis of the consumer market visiting all shops in the described zone has been made. Research provides explanation of generalized costs of end-consumers. Generally, the utility function of end-consumers visiting retailers depends on the price and non-price factors. The regression models describing the time spent on transit to a retailer and inside of it provide monetary assessment of costs associated with the purchase process. The monetary level of fatigue was evaluated using the calories spent during the purchase process. The attractiveness of the retailer in an urban zone was assessed as an inverse function of the generalized costs.
摘要本文给出了一种估算终端消费者访问任意零售商的广义成本的方法。根据零售商的选择可能产生的广义成本,计算了零售商对终端消费者的吸引力和效用。根据所建立的模型,对该区域内所有店铺的消费市场进行了分析。研究提供了对终端消费者广义成本的解释。一般来说,终端消费者访问零售商的效用函数取决于价格和非价格因素。回归模型描述了运输到零售商和零售商内部花费的时间,提供了与购买过程相关的成本的货币评估。疲劳的货币水平是用购买过程中消耗的卡路里来评估的。市区零售商的吸引力被评估为广义成本的反函数。

The attractiveness and utility of retailers for end-consumers have been calculated based on their possible generalized costs according to their choice. According to the developed model, analysis of the consumer market visiting all shops in the described zone has been made. Research provides explanation of generalized costs of end-consumers. Generally, the utility function of end-consumers visiting retailers depends on the price and non-price factors. The regression models describing the time spent on transit to a retailer and inside of it provide monetary assessment of costs associated with the purchase process. The monetary level of fatigue was evaluated using the calories spent during the purchase process. The attractiveness of the retailer in an urban zone was assessed as an inverse function of the generalized costs.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"12 1","pages":"31 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48966000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quantitative correlational research examined the correlations between customer relation-ship management (CRM) usage, product innovation, and customer satisfaction. The general problem was the lack of evidence indicating the use of CRM system as effective in improving small- to medi-um-size companies’ performance. Hence, the specific problem was to determine the beneficial use of a CRM system for customer satisfaction and product innovation. Data were gathered through sur-veymonkey.com. A total of 97 respondents were selected as sample from 10 small- to medium-size companies to answer the survey questions. Respondents were top managers, middle managers, and first-line managers of the selected organization. Statistics of the study were provided with the help of IBM Statistical Package for Social and Sciences version 23. The findings showed a strong correlation between the use of CRM system and customer satisfaction. They indicated the use of CRM system could improve the relationship with existing customers, could help attract prospective customers, and could win back former customers.
本定量相关研究考察了客户关系管理(CRM)使用、产品创新和客户满意度之间的相关性。普遍的问题是缺乏证据表明使用CRM系统可以有效地改善中小型公司的绩效。因此,具体的问题是确定CRM系统对客户满意度和产品创新的有益使用。数据是通过sur-veymonkey.com收集的。从10家中小企业中选出97名受访者回答了调查问题。受访者是所选组织的高层管理人员、中层管理人员和一线管理人员。本研究的统计数据是借助IBM Statistical Package for Social and Sciences version 23提供的。研究结果表明,客户关系管理系统的使用与客户满意度之间存在很强的相关性。他们指出,使用客户关系管理系统可以改善与现有客户的关系,可以帮助吸引潜在客户,并可以赢回以前的客户。
