The development and empirical validation of an e‐based supply chain strategy optimization modelIndustrial Management & Data Systems - Tập 103 Số 5 - Trang 347-360
Examines the formulation of supply chain strategies in complex environments. Argues that current state‐of‐the‐art e‐business and supply chain management, combined into the concept of e‐SCM, as well as the use of transaction cost theory, network theory and resource‐based theory, altogether can be used to form a model for analyzing supply chains with the purpose of reducing the uncertainty of formul...... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of information systems on the efficiency of banks: an empirical investigationIndustrial Management & Data Systems - Tập 97 Số 1 - Trang 10-16
Financial institutions, and banks, in particular, are one of the largest investors in information systems (IS) and information technologies (IT) and there are indications that this trend is likely to continue. However, there is growing concern that IS investments are not yielding the anticipated results, an issue that is of grave concern to many CEOs and top managers. One way to address this conce...... hiện toàn bộ

Human factors in the adoption and performance of advanced manufacturing technology in unionized firmsIndustrial Management & Data Systems - Tập 100 Số 8 - Trang 389-402
Some researchers have found that unionized firms are less likely to pursue automation because high wage demands deprive them of the necessary capital required to invest in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT). It has also been suggested that stringent work rules and technology agreements can make the substitution of new technology for union labor too expensive. Others have found, however, that ...... hiện toàn bộ
