Despite the availability of manufacturing-related literature, studies on CSFs in more dynamic and complex healthcare-related operations are scarce. This study, based at a large public tertiary healthcare organization, identifies CSFs in implementing Le...... hiện toàn bộ

Thomas W. Guenther, Anja Riehl, Richard Rößler
Cost functions as the foundation of managerial decision making usually assume a linear cost function with fixed and variable costs. The latter are dominantly regarded as being identical for increasing and for decreasing activity levels. However, empirical research shows that the decline in costs is smaller for decreasing than the rise in costs for increasing activity levels for the same amount of ...... hiện toàn bộ
