Operating Strategy, Growth and Innovation of Medical Institutions – A Case Study of ChangHua Christian Healthcare System
No full text 近年來面臨內外部環境的衝擊，彰化基督教醫療體系在眾多醫療機構中，以醫療經營管理的工具與方法，領導醫療管理專業以及成長策略之典範，以維持醫療機構的醫療品質與永續經營。 本研究採用個案研究分析法，以彰化基督教醫療體系為主要研究個案，並以美國梅約醫學中心(Mayo Clinic)作為個案對照，兩個個案機構之發展背景與組織文化方面有相同點，但也因規模與優勢的相異，而有不同的策略發展，值得作為本研究針對彰基個案研究進行對照。 本研究綜合比較彰化基督教醫療體系與梅約醫學中心在組織文化、領導、董事會治理結構、成長策略與創新、醫療策略管理與財務績效等各構面之相同點與特性，同時也介紹郭守仁院長的利他主義行為（包含僕人式領導與轉型領導之特質），凸顯組織文化與領導對組織成長策略與管理之影響。 研究結果發現：彰基以創業育成之觀點，吸引不同合作夥伴共同開發新市場，以醫務管理知識與彰基品牌為優勢，創造培訓輔導、財務投資與多角化經營等營收模式。梅約醫學中心憑藉醫療技術與實務的優勢，以合作的模式增加病患的接觸率，透過技術研發合作與授權，增加與人才交流合作的機會，創造技術移轉收入與專利權收入的營收模式。 研究結論與管理意涵係以組織文化為延伸，反映彰化基督教醫療體系與梅約醫學中心在營運策略與成長創新之特色，包含：組織文化對組織成長擴張策略與財務績效的影響、領導特質對重新展現組織文化的影響、董事會治理結構對於信仰使命與世俗化求生存的決策影響、軟實力（知識、資訊與文化精神）為成長與創新的基礎、組織文化對於醫療策略管理與財務策略的影響。 本研究以創新個案分析架構，探討個案機構之組織文化、領導、董事會治理結構、成長策略與創新、醫療策略管理以及財務績效，同時對照美國梅約醫學中心之案例，以歸納及演繹法而得出結論與管理意涵，以期作為其他醫療機構或產業在永續經營的學習典範。在個案研究方法的限制下，建議未來研究可針對國內醫療機構作為對照個案機構以及長期縱貫的研究設計。In recent years, when facing the impact of internal and external environment, Changhua Christian Healthcare System (C.C.H.) has utilized many management tools to improve quality of medical care and sustainable development. In this study, case study analysis is used on the C.C.H., the main case study, and the US Mayo Clinic, the comparison case. Though both cases have similar characteristics on cultural background and organizational development, their different scales and advantages lead to varied development strategies. In this study, a comprehensive comparison of C.C.H. with Mayo Clinic in terms of each facet of organizational culture, leadership, structure of board governance, growth strategy and innovation, strategy management in healthcare systems and financial performance, etc. At the same, the altruism behavior (including characteristics of servant leadership and transformation leadership) of Superintendent, Dr. Shou-Jen, Guo, is described, highlighting the impact of organizational culture and leadership to the growth strategy and management. The findings are that: with the view of incubation, C.C.H. attracts different partners to develop new markets. Based on the knowledge of medical management and advantage of brand superiority, C.C.H. creates revenue model of mentoring, financial investment and diversification. On the other hand, using the advantage of medical technology and practice, Mayo Clinic increases the contact rate of patients in a cooperative mode and enhances the opportunity of talent exchange and development via cooperation and authorization of R&D. In this way, the revenue generated from technology transfer and patent fee are expected. Conclusions and implications are based on organizational culture as an extension to reflect the characteristics of operating strategy, growth and innovation of Mayo Clinic and C.C.H.. This includes the impact of organizational culture on organizational growth strategy and financial performance, the impact of characteristics of leadership on re-demonstration of organizational culture, the impact of board governance structure on the strategy making between mission and survival, soft power (ex. knowledge, information and cultural spirit) as a foundation for growth and innovation, influence of organizational culture on strategy management in healthcare system and financial strategy. Innovative case study approach is taken to investigate the organizational culture, leadership, the board governance structure, growth strategy and innovation, strategy management, and financial performance of C.C.H, with comparison to the case of the US Mayo Clinic. Under the method of induction and deduction, it derived conclusion and management implications, which are expected as a model to other medical institutions and other industries. With the limitation of case study method, to take domestic medical institutions as comparison case and to design a long-term longitudinal case study for future research are suggested
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
