INFORMATION CHANNEL DISPOSITION AND USE*Decision Sciences - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 131-145 - 1987
E. Burton Swanson
ABSTRACTThe use of information channels by individuals in organizations is
substantially discretionary. Although much studied, variation in patterns of
discretionary use has yet to be explained adequately in terms of an accepted
integrative theory validated across varieties of channel types and
organizational settings. In a step toward the development of such a theory, the
present paper proposes a... hiện toàn bộ
Decision Making in an Automated Environment: The Effects of Anonymity and Proximity with a Group Decision Support System*Decision Sciences - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 266-279 - 1991
Leonard M. Jessup, David A. Tansik
Recent advances in information systems technology have made it possible to
support the work of interacting groups using networked personal computers. A
laboratory experiment was conducted using a group decision support system to
evaluate effects of anonymity and proximity on group process in automated group
problem solving. Twenty groups of four persons each performed an idea‐generating
task using... hiện toàn bộ
Interorganizational Governance Value Creation: Coordinating for Information Visibility and Flexibility in Supply Chains*Decision Sciences - Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 647-674 - 2007
Eric T.G. Wang, Hsiao Lan Wei
ABSTRACTMore thoroughly understanding how interorganizational governance value
can be created by information technology and other governance mechanisms is
critical for supply chain management. Based primarily on transaction‐cost
economics and supplemented by the resource‐based view, this study investigates
how interorganizational governance (i.e., relational governance and virtual
integration) can... hiện toàn bộ
Supply Management Under High Goal Incongruence: An Empirical Examination of Disintermediation in the Aerospace Supply ChainDecision Sciences - Tập 39 Số 3 - Trang 507-540 - 2008
Christian L. Rossetti, Thomas Y. Choi
ABSTRACTAftermarket sales and profits are becoming an increasingly important
part of an original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) business model. Because
replacement parts often do not require further manufacturing, OEMs act as
intermediaries in the aftermarket. As with any intermediary, the OEM must
concern itself with suppliers disintermediating its supply chain selling
replacement parts directly ... hiện toàn bộ
Sequential and Simultaneous Decision Making for Optimizing Health Care Resource FlexibilitiesDecision Sciences - Tập 40 Số 2 - Trang 295-326 - 2009
Adelina Gnanlet, Wendell Gilland
ABSTRACTHealth care administrators commonly employ two types of resource
flexibilities (demand upgrades and staffing flexibility) to efficiently
coordinate two critical internal resources, nursing staff and beds, and an
external resource (contract nurses) to satisfy stochastic patient demand. Under
demand upgrades, when beds are unavailable for patients in a less acute unit,
patients are upgraded ... hiện toàn bộ
Reexamining the Nurse Scheduling Problem: Staffing Ratios and Nursing Shortages*Decision Sciences - Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 39-70 - 2006
P. Daniel Wright, Kurt M. Bretthauer, Murray J. Côté
ABSTRACTLegislators at the state and national levels are addressing renewed
concerns over the adequacy of hospital nurse staffing to provide quality care
and ensure patient safety. At the same time, the well‐known nursing shortage
remains an ongoing problem. To address these issues, we reexamine the nurse
scheduling problem and consider how recent health care legislation impacts

Capacity Management in Health Care Services: Review and Future Research Directions*Decision Sciences - Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 889-919 - 1988
Vicki L. Smith‐Daniels, Sharon Schweikhart, Dwight E. Smith‐Daniels
ABSTRACTHealth care has undergone a number of radical changes during the past
five years. These include increased competition, fixed‐rate reimbursement
systems, declining hospital occupancy rates, and growth in health maintenance
organizations and preferred provider organizations. Given these changes in the
manner in which health care is provided, contracted, and paid for, it is
appropriate to rev... hiện toàn bộ
Testing the Interaction Effects of Task Complexity in Computer Training Using the Social Cognitive ModelDecision Sciences - Tập 32 Số 1 - Trang 1-20 - 2001
Melesa Altizer Bolt, Larry N. Killough, Hian Chye Koh
AbstractUsing a Modified Social Cognitive Theory framework, this study examines
the behavior modeling and lecture‐based training approaches to computer
training. It extends the existing Social Cognitive Model for computer training
by adding the task complexity construct to training method, prior performance,
computer self‐efficacy, outcome expectations, and performance. A sample of 249
students fr... hiện toàn bộ
APPLICATION OF AN EXPECTED COVERING MODEL TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE SYSTEM DESIGN*Decision Sciences - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 416-439 - 1982
Mark S. Daskin
ABSTRACTThe Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Act specifies the fraction of all
demands for service that must be reached in a given amount of time for urban and
rural areas. The conditions have traditionally been interpreted to apply to the
case in which all EMS vehicles are available to respond to demands. A model that
considers the probability of a vehicle being busy is formulated and model
