Power BI para la visualización de datos en instituciones educativas
No full textPower BI es actualmente el líder en el mercado de las herramientas de inteligencia de negocios. A través de la literatura se puede ver que el uso y los beneficios de Power BI no deben asociarse exclusivamente con empresas que vendan productos o servicios. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se estableció la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Puede ser Power BI una herramienta de utilidad en las instituciones educativas que ofrecen servicios a estudiantes hispanos? Para responder la pregunta, se llevó a cabo un estudio cualitativo para describir y analizar el proceso de desarrollo de tableros utilizando Power BI en una institución de educación superior en Puerto Rico. Los hallazgos muestran que se logró el desarrollo de tableros en Power BI con tres objetivos principales: (1) presentación de datos institucionales, (2) presentación de resultados de investigaciones y (3) presentación de resultados de avalúo del aprendizaje estudiantil. Se encontró que la presentación de datos institucionales a través de los tableros permite tomar decisiones informadas basadas en datos, lo cual es parte fundamental de la planificación efectiva en una institución. Además, el uso de Power BI permite enfocar esfuerzos y recursos en la dirección correcta.Power BI is currently the market leader for business intelligence tools. Through literature, it can be seen that the use and benefits of Power BI should not be exclusively associated with companies that sell products or services. Therefore, in this study, the following research question was established: Is Power BI an useful tool in higher education institutions that offer services to Hispanic students? To answer the question, a qualitative study was carried out to describe and analyze the dashboard development process using Power BI at a higher education institution in Puerto Rico. Findings of this study suggest that the development of dashboards in Power BI was achieved with three main objectives: (1) institutional data presentation, (2) research findings presentation, and (3) student learning assessment results presentation. This research found that institutional data presented through dashboards allows for informed data-based decisions, which is a fundamental part of effective planning in an institution. In addition, the use of Power BI allows us to focus efforts and resources in the right direction
Research perspectives on public procurement: Content analysis of 14 years of publications in the journal of public procurement
No full textThe paper aims to evaluate the state of the literature on public procurement through examination of the works published in the Journal of Public Procurement from 2001 to 2014. 231 research outputs were collected and analyzed (with regard to, e.g., the background theory used, research method, and content of the papers), providing a structured overview of prior research topics and findings and identifying main gaps in the existing literature. This type of study is unique, as a broad literature review related to public procurement does not currently exist; therefore, the work has been designed with the intention to a) synthetize the prior research on public procurement; b) provide researchers with a structural framework in which future research on public procurement topics may be oriented; c) identify promising and active areas for future research
Attraction in Business Relationships: the strategic relevance of customer attractiveness to improve supply performance
No full textPurchasing realized absorptive capacity as the gateway to sustainable supply chain management
Full text linkPurpose: Companies' ability to build sustainable supply chains and achieve strategic sustainability objectives largely depends on their supply network characteristics and the nature of the relationships with strategic suppliers. This poses the question of how purchasing departments can help to translate this sustainability commitment into performance benefits. The authors focus the attention on buyer-supplier information sharing practices and study how the availability of information interplays with the purchasing realized absorptive capacity (PRAC) to positively impact performance (operational, environmental and social). Design/methodology/approach: The study collected data from 305 procurement executives in four European countries and tested the hypotheses empirically using structural equation modeling. Mediation analysis is used to test the effect of PRAC on the relationship between buyer-supplier information sharing and performance. Findings: The results show that increasing buyer-supplier information sharing is sufficient to obtain a positive impact on operational performance. To improve purchasing sustainability performance, companies need to develop their PRAC to adequately transform and exploit external information and identify opportunities in the environmental and social areas. Thanks to these purchasing capabilities, organizations can overcome potential trade-offs between different performance dimensions. Originality/value: In the context of collaborative buyer-supplier relationships, this study is one of the first to propose purchasing knowledge management capabilities (i.e. PRAC) as a key factor to improve multiple performance dimensions. Additionally, it captures different sustainability aspects, concluding that organizations can improve purchasing operational, environmental and social performances by implementing appropriate information sharing mechanisms with suppliers and developing their PRAC

Behavioral Biases and Cognitive Pitfalls: Navigating Resource Orchestration in Supplier-Partnered Innovation Projects
Full text linkInnovation projects play a crucial role in
maintaining competitive advantage but often experience high
failure rates. This study examines how behavioral biases influence
supplier resource management in failed innovation projects. Using
Resource Orchestration Theory as a lens, we analyze six failed
projects, each involving two suppliers, to explore how cognitive
biases disrupt critical resource management activities, including
structuring, bundling, and leveraging. Key biases, such as
overconfidence, optimism, and strategic misrepresentation, were
found to skew decision-making, prioritizing technical
competencies over relational history during supplier selection.
This misalignment impaired supplier interactions and knowledge-
sharing practices, ultimately contributing to project failure. The
findings offer a novel perspective on how cognitive biases
undermine resource orchestration and highlight the importance of
incorporating collaborative history into supplier selection
frameworks. Addressing these biases can significantly improve
decision-making processes and enhance the success of innovation
projects
