Knowledge management in cyberphysical systems: determining the quality requirements for health systems with the Kano model
Full text linkThis paper focuses on knowledge management in cyberphysical
systems (CPS), dealing with the importance and influence of smart
technologies for the creation of the smart health systems as a part of the smart
home. This approach considers the reorganisation and adaptation of medicine
and health systems, building the research framework upon knowledge
management 4.0 for health systems. Customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction
was researched using the qualitative methodology of the Kano model. The
questionnaire deals with five factors that play a crucial role in the decision to
purchase such a system: 1) software reliability; 2) medical device
interoperability; 3) security and privacy; 4) system feedback; 5) architecture.
The results show that attractive requirements, such as architecture and medical
device interoperability, have high values for customer satisfaction and low
scores for customer dissatisfaction
A relational view of start-up firms inside an incubator. The case of the ARCA Consortium
No full textPurpose. Analysing the entrepreneurial ecosystem related to the ARCA Consortium, the paper aims at studying the relationships among the start-up firms inside an incubator.
Method. Thanks to the adoption of the Relationships Concentric Model (RCM) and the Density Concentric Model (DCM) the paper highlights the role of relational conditions for innovative projects in partnership among the incubated firms. Reflections herein are tested via a qualitative research approach based on a single case study: the ARCA Consortium.
Findings. This research found that about 32% of relationships inside the incubator support the emergence of short-term relationships among the incubated firms. Furthermore, about 18% of the relationships support the emergence of a strong collaborative strategies for the implementation of long-term relationships resulting in innovative pathways: innovative projects in partnership.
Originality/value. The most interconnected firms inside the incubator are those who play a central role also in the innovation pathway developing the higher number of innovative project in partnership. This finding emphasizes a correlation between collaborative relationships and innovation inside an incubator ecosystem
Human resource development and spiritual intelligence: an investigation amongst management students in Delhi NCR
No full textThe study seeks to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and its relative impact on students' academic performance. Several studies link SI with intellectual development. This study aims to analyse the phenomenon of spiritual intelligence (SI) within the framework of human resource development (HRD) research. Qualitative and quantitative data were analysed. The study was conducted among management students residing in Delhi NCR. The findings confirm that spiritual quotient factors are applicable in the Indian context. In addition, the study reveals that the spiritual quotient is significantly correlated with academic performance. The study uses the scale developed by King (2008) to measure spiritual intelligence through spiritual intelligence self report inventory (SISRI) which includes 24 statements. From the available constructs of the spiritual quotient, the critical existential thinking (CET) and the personal meeting production (PMP) have a positive relationship with academic performance. The academic performance is explained by 19% using CET and PMP. Therefore, management institutions must also instil the culture of spiritualism within the institute to improve the performance of management students. The study tries to cover part of the gap in the HRM literature on the SI topic
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Agency, personality, and multiple identity types: understanding Theresa May
No full textPurposeThis paper aims to use the cultural agency theory (CAT) formulated to represent a personality in which multiple identities reside. Dynamic identity theory is used to explain the relationship between the multiple identities, which impact on personality creating imperatives for behaviour. The mindset agency theory (MAT), a development of CAT, is used to evaluate the personal and public identities of Theresa May, the UK Prime Minister in 2017, to determine whether there is a psychological reason for the political inconsistency she demonstrated prior to and during the UK general election campaign.Design/methodology/approachCAT connects identity and personality theories and is elaborated on conceptually to include the dynamic identity theory, which explains how identities develop. Developing identities result in personality adjustments through trait movements. The theory is applied to Theresa May, the UK Prime Minister in 2017. A selection of her election narratives is taken, and summative content analysis is applied. Her public and personal identities are examined in this way. Data results are tested for reliability, and her public and personal identities are compared using MAT.FindingsTheresa May’s personal and public identities, while related, have some differences, suggesting a clinical explanation for her political inconsistencies.Originality/valueThere is no other current theory that explains the relationship between personality and identity and can evaluate personality using a qualitative–quantitative approach, undertaking a comparative evaluation of multiple identities to explain clinical psychological conditions.</jats:sec
Modelling identity types through agency: part 1 defragmenting identity theory
No full text
Purpose
There is fragmentation in the academic study of identity theory, and it is dislocated from personality theory. The paper aims to develop a model that resolves both of these issues using autonomous agency theory. It is shown that identities can be evaluated using mindset agency theory. Application is then made to a case study of Donald Trump’s US election campaign.
Design/methodology/approach
In the first of this three-part paper, the fragmented identity theory is examined ontologically to generate a coherent model of multiple identities.
Findings
A new coherent model of multiple identities is created.
Originality/value
There is not currently any that has created coherent theory of multiple identities.
