Complex products and systems (CoPS) development demands effective risk management, which is frequently impeded by a lack of clarity regarding the impact of risks on performance. This study aims to investigate how multiple risks jointly affect innovation performance in CoPS projects. Based on the configurational theory and WSR framework, we use fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) with data from 97 CoPS projects and examine the combined effects of risks on innovation performance. We identify two types leading to high innovation performance and four patterns causing low innovation performance. The results verify the asymmetrical causality of the influence of risks on innovation performance in CoPS projects. The findings contribute to broadening the relationship studies of risk and innovation performance by adopting an empirical method in the context of CoPS. Moreover, our study can help managers implement flexible risk management activities within CoPS projects, by addressing several equivalent and distinctive paths.
复杂产品和系统(CoPS)的开发需要有效的风险管理,但由于缺乏对风险对绩效影响的清晰认识,风险管理经常受到阻碍。本研究旨在探讨多种风险如何共同影响 CoPS 项目的创新绩效。基于配置理论和 WSR 框架,我们利用来自 97 个 CoPS 项目的数据,采用模糊集定性比较分析法(fsQCA),研究了风险对创新绩效的综合影响。我们确定了导致高创新绩效的两种类型和导致低创新绩效的四种模式。结果验证了 CoPS 项目中风险对创新绩效影响的非对称因果关系。研究结果有助于在 CoPS 的背景下采用实证方法拓宽风险与创新绩效的关系研究。此外,我们的研究还可以帮助管理者在 CoPS 项目中实施灵活的风险管理活动,解决几个等价和独特的路径问题。

Multiple factors contribute to the occurrences of disruptions in workflow management within the e-commerce system that focuses on the distribution of goods and other fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). These disruptions have particularly affected and increased lead times and caused frequent shipment delays. The causes of these disruptions, especially in the context of distribution of goods and FMCG towards inventory control, have been widely speculated upon in recent years. Given the recent interruptions, the study presented in this paper used a methodology called statistical model analysis (SMA) to study the impact of human factors (HFs) on the system performance in a warehouse distribution system. A case study was taken on a particular company called ABC and XYZ to model the impact of some specific HF such as job fatigue, and job rotation to name a few and to uncover the underlying reasons behind the ongoing disruptions within the distribution system. Specifically, the result of this study aims to provide a data-driven understanding of these issues and one of the contributions of this study is to enhance our understanding of the significance of these HFs, rather than focusing on the equipment and materials as seen in prior research. Through this data-based approach study, stakeholders in operations management, e-commerce, and the supply chain system would be well-informed in many ways to resolve the challenges faced by humans in the system towards enhancing their overall system performance.
多种因素导致以商品和其他快速消费品(FMCG)配送为重点的电子商务系统内的工作流程管理出现中断。这些干扰尤其影响和增加了交货时间,并造成频繁的装运延误。近年来,人们广泛猜测这些中断的原因,特别是在货物配送和快速消费品库存控制方面。鉴于最近发生的中断事件,本文介绍的研究采用了一种称为统计模型分析(SMA)的方法来研究仓库配送系统中人为因素(HFs)对系统性能的影响。通过对一家名为 ABC 和 XYZ 的特定公司进行案例研究,对一些特定人为因素(如工作疲劳和工作轮换等)的影响进行建模,并揭示配送系统内持续中断背后的根本原因。具体来说,本研究的结果旨在提供对这些问题的数据驱动式理解,本研究的贡献之一是加强了我们对这些高频因素重要性的理解,而不是像之前的研究那样将重点放在设备和材料上。通过这项以数据为基础的研究,运营管理、电子商务和供应链系统中的利益相关者将在许多方面获得充分信息,以解决系统中人类面临的挑战,从而提高系统的整体性能。

The digital transformation of our physical lives, driven by cutting-edge technologies like AI, 5G, and Extended Reality, is rapidly unfolding through the metaverse. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption intention of the metaverse and its impact on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) performance, employing the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. A cross-sectional analysis involving 173 owners/senior managers of SMEs in Canada was conducted to develop a conceptual model. Exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha were employed to assess the questionnaire’s validity and reliability. Correlation, regression analysis, and Baron and Kenny’s method were used to evaluate relationships and mediation effects. The findings revealed seven significant factors influencing SMEs’ metaverse adoption intention. Notably, anxiety, security, and privacy did not impact adoption intention. Conversely, a positive correlation emerged between metaverse adoption intention and SME performance. The study demonstrated that metaverse adoption intention fully mediated the relationship between predictors and performance, with the indirect effect moderated by relationship qualities (RQs) like service experience and customer engagement. These insights provide decision-makers with valuable guidance for prioritizing essential factors crucial for successful metaverse technology implementation in SMEs.
在人工智能、5G 和扩展现实(Extended Reality)等尖端技术的推动下,我们的物质生活正在通过元宇宙(metaverse)迅速实现数字化转型。本研究采用技术-组织-环境(TOE)框架,探讨了影响元数据采用意向的因素及其对中小型企业(SMEs)绩效的影响。为了建立一个概念模型,我们对加拿大 173 家中小企业的所有者/高级经理进行了横截面分析。采用探索性因子分析和克朗巴赫α来评估问卷的有效性和可靠性。相关分析、回归分析以及 Baron 和 Kenny 方法被用来评估各种关系和中介效应。研究结果表明,有七个重要因素影响着中小企业对元数据的采用意向。值得注意的是,焦虑、安全和隐私并不影响采用意向。相反,元数据应用意向与中小企业绩效之间存在正相关关系。研究表明,采用元数据的意向完全调节了预测因素与绩效之间的关系,而服务体验和客户参与等关系品质(RQ)则调节了间接效应。这些见解为决策者提供了宝贵的指导,帮助他们优先考虑对中小企业成功实施元数据技术至关重要的基本因素。

This study aims to investigate the impact of digital supply chains and smart technology on the operational performance of the manufacturing industry. Due to the lack of knowledge and guidance in this area, the adoption of smart technology throughout the supply chain is limited, leading to poor operational performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how smart technology and digital supply chain transformation can improve operational performance. To test hypotheses and accomplish study goals, the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory was combined with a quantitative research strategy. The study population of companies was obtained from a manufacturing directory, and a minimum sample size of 107 companies was determined using G*Power. Additionally, 600 online surveys were sent to the manufacturing companies, resulting in a response rate of 17.83%. Data analysis was conducted using Smart-PLS 4.0 software, and eight of the 10 hypotheses were supported. The findings showed that smart technologies completely mediate the link between digital transformation and relationship performance, emphasizing the need for manufacturing organizations to focus on incorporating smart technology into their supply chain to enhance operational performance. The study concludes by presenting theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and recommendations.
本研究旨在探讨数字化供应链和智能技术对制造业运营绩效的影响。由于缺乏这方面的知识和指导,整个供应链对智能技术的采用有限,导致运营绩效不佳。因此,本研究旨在探讨智能技术和数字化供应链转型如何提高运营绩效。为了检验假设并实现研究目标,本研究将资源观(RBV)理论与定量研究策略相结合。研究的公司群体来自制造业目录,并使用 G*Power 确定了 107 家公司的最小样本量。此外,还向制造企业发送了 600 份在线调查问卷,回复率为 17.83%。使用 Smart-PLS 4.0 软件进行了数据分析,结果支持了 10 项假设中的 8 项。研究结果表明,智能技术完全调解了数字化转型与关系绩效之间的联系,这强调了制造企业需要重视将智能技术融入供应链,以提高运营绩效。研究最后提出了理论和实践意义、局限性和建议。

Sustainable development goals call for urgent action with an aim to spur socio-economic growth along with the protection of the environment and resources. However, these goals are difficult to be achieved when finances are not mobilized to mitigate harmful resources. In return, numerous green bond manifestations appeared in the market, which are viewed as a bridge to have successful implementation of sustainable development goals. Therefore, the study is aimed to explore the relevance of green bonds, financialization, and sustainable environmental change mitigation technologies for environmental change in ASEAN economies. The initial outcomes confirm the long-run cointegration association between study variables and also explore the slope heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependencies. To explore the causal connections between the study variables, the current study employs CS-ARDL technique. The study finds significant contributions of sustainable environmental change mitigation technologies and green bonds in the reduction of pollution, hence improving climate quality. The short-run infers similar results with relatively lower magnitudes of coefficients as compared to the long-run. Negative error correction terms are used to confirm the stability of the model, which implies sustained convergence towards “steady-state equilibrium” in case of expected deviations. The results offer practical implications and recommendations.
可持续发展目标呼吁采取紧急行动,以促进社会经济增长,同时保护环境和资源。然而,如果不调动资金来减少有害资源,这些目标就很难实现。因此,市场上出现了许多绿色债券,它们被视为成功实现可持续发展目标的桥梁。因此,本研究旨在探讨绿色债券、金融化和可持续环境变化减缓技术与东盟经济体环境变化的相关性。初步结果证实了研究变量之间的长期协整关系,同时也探讨了斜率异质性和横截面依赖性。为探讨研究变量之间的因果关系,本研究采用了 CS-ARDL 技术。研究发现,可持续环境变化减缓技术和绿色债券在减少污染、改善气候质量方面做出了重大贡献。短期结果与长期结果相似,但系数大小相对较小。负误差修正项用于确认模型的稳定性,这意味着在出现预期偏差的情况下,模型会持续向 "稳态均衡 "靠拢。研究结果提供了实际意义和建议。

This study set out to determine how Emotional Intelligence (EI) impacts the success of construction projects. This study showed that organisational culture has a role in moderating the relationship between team cohesion and project success, and its significance in this regard was also examined. Workers on several construction projects in Pakistan were contacted and provided information for this study. The data was analysed utilising the regression analysis in SPSS and partial least squares in SMART PLS, and it has been found that emotional intelligence significantly influences project success. Relationships between emotional intelligence and project success are both favourable and statistically significant. Emotionally astute colleagues can help teams to build stronger bonds with one another. Furthermore, the organisational culture positively and significantly impacts the relationship between a successful project and a cohesive team.

Due to today’s intense competition and rapid changes in the market, organizations must concentrate on their process management to improve their effectiveness to be able to respond quickly. Studies have shown that organizations are not necessarily even aware of the current primary function of technical management (TM) because their internal procedures are not currently modeled. This results in a lack of efficiency in terms of how businesses operate in organizations. This study aims to create internal procedure manuals for the technical support function of a case company and considers how to pinpoint areas for process improvement. Since TM is a part of the case company internally, it has not been able to update its internal procedure charts to reflect this, so cannot show its current roles in the surrounding organization. The methodology of this study is separated into two stages: modeling swim lane diagrams describing the existing state (as-is) of TM processes and then conducting semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders to ascertain their expectations and suggestions for change. Thematic analysis of the interview data and performing a comparison with the current procedure charts are used to determine whether or not TM’s procedures can be strengthened to better assist the surrounding organization. The study concludes that further actions are needed to clarify the role of TM in ways other than in the sub-process task level in the procedure charts of the case company. In addition, TM could conduct further analysis to optimize the case company’s business processes to achieve maximum benefit in the future.
当今市场竞争激烈,瞬息万变,企业必须集中精力做好流程管理,提高效率,以便迅速做出反应。研究表明,由于组织的内部程序目前没有模式化,他们甚至不一定意识到技术管理(TM)目前的主要功能。这就导致了组织中的业务运作缺乏效率。本研究旨在为案例公司的技术支持职能创建内部程序手册,并考虑如何确定流程改进的领域。由于技术支持部门是案例公司内部的一部分,它一直未能更新内部程序表以反映这一点,因此无法显示其目前在周边组织中的作用。本研究的方法分为两个阶段:绘制描述 TM 流程现有状态(现状)的泳道图模型,然后与主要利益相关者进行半结构化访谈,以确定他们的期望和变革建议。对访谈数据进行专题分析,并与当前的流程图进行比较,以确定是否可以加强技术管理流程,从而更好地协助周边组织。研究得出结论,除了在案例公司的流程图中的子流程任务层面,还需要采取进一步行动来明确技术管理的作用。此外,技术管理部门还可以开展进一步分析,优化案例公司的业务流程,以便在未来实现最大效益。

Workflow Management Systems are rapidly evolving and increasingly used in a variety of industries, allowing organizations to automate and enhance their business processes. Hence, they are open to collaboration throw inter-organizational workflows to achieve common objectives. Thus, organizations could thereby adapt to highly dynamic environments and abrupt sudden changes like during epidemics. One of the particular interests for security researchers is to ensure workflow resiliency, which means ensuring the completion of the workflow execution given a defined set of security constraints without violating the security policy. However, the rigid application of security constraints restricts some task-organization assignments, which leads to the workflow satisfiability problem. Moreover, a wise selection of collaborating organizations is very important for secure resilient inter-organizational workflow execution. Therefore, we aim in this paper to propose a resilient inter-organizational workflow assignment plan selection approach to select a valid task-organization plan that allows a resilient inter-organizational workflow complete execution. Our proposed approach, uses the task priority concept, Bayesian inference, and a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach based on the methods Analytical Hierarchical Process and Grey Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution. As a result, the proposed approach selects the best assignment plan for a resilient execution of the Inter-Organizational Workflow, in addition to delegates for each task-organization assignment if available.
工作流程管理系统发展迅速,越来越多地应用于各行各业,使企业能够实现业务流程的自动化和改进。因此,工作流程管理系统可用于组织间工作流程的协作,以实现共同目标。这样,组织就能适应高度动态的环境和突如其来的变化(如流行病期间)。安全研究人员的一个特别兴趣点是确保工作流的弹性,这意味着在不违反安全策略的情况下,确保在一组已定义的安全约束条件下完成工作流的执行。然而,严格应用安全约束会限制某些任务-组织分配,从而导致工作流可满足性问题。此外,明智地选择合作组织对于组织间工作流的安全弹性执行非常重要。因此,本文旨在提出一种弹性组织间工作流分配计划选择方法,以选择有效的任务-组织计划,从而实现弹性组织间工作流的完整执行。我们提出的方法使用了任务优先级概念、贝叶斯推理和混合多标准决策方法,这些方法基于层次分析法(Analytical Hierarchical Process)和灰色技术(Grey Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution)。因此,建议的方法除了为每个任务-组织分配(如果有的话)选择代表外,还为组织间工作流程的弹性执行选择最佳分配计划。

: Overtime, cost management of construction projects in the Nigeria oil and gas sector has been branded inadequate with critical stakeholders standing aloof from offering requisite expertise to achieve efficiency. Based on pertinent lack of critical literature narrative about the practice of cost management in the oil and gas sector generally and in Nigeria specifically, this study evaluated the issues inhibiting cost management of oil refinery. Using a purposive sample size of 36 construction professionals in the oil and gas sector obtained through snowballing in Rivers state, Nigeria, structured questionnaire was employed to collect data that were analysed using mean item score and Chi-Square. The result revealed that issues dealing with low education, skills, estimating efficiency, non-involvement of core cost management professionals and change in scope as critical issues for affecting the efficiency of cost management in oil refinery construction projects. All the 25 factors evaluated were significant mean item scores (3.01 - 3.94) and the null hypothesis was rejected (p-values < 0.000) to show the consistency of the mean ranking. The study buttresses that inadequate cost management practice in the Nigerian oil and gas sector is due to this range of factors. Recommendations towards improving the state of cost management practice in the sector are directed towards the need to improve the validated barriers as precursors of inefficiencies in the sector.
加班,尼日利亚石油和天然气行业建设项目的成本管理被认为是不足的,关键利益相关者远离提供必要的专业知识以实现效率。由于缺乏对石油和天然气行业成本管理实践的相关批判性文献叙述,特别是在尼日利亚,本研究评估了阻碍炼油厂成本管理的问题。通过滚雪球法在尼日利亚Rivers州获得36名石油和天然气行业的建筑专业人员作为有目的的样本量,采用结构化问卷收集数据,并使用平均项目得分和卡方分析。结果表明,影响炼油厂建设项目成本管理效率的关键问题是教育程度低、技能水平低、估算效率低、核心成本管理专业人员不参与、范围变化等问题。评价的25个因素均为显著平均项目得分(3.01 ~ 3.94),拒绝原假设(p值< 0.000),显示平均排名的一致性。该研究支持了尼日利亚石油和天然气行业成本管理实践不足是由于这一系列因素造成的。关于改善该部门成本管理做法状况的建议是针对需要改善作为该部门效率低下前兆的已证实的障碍。
