The accountability to minimize costs and remain competitive becomes a responsibility for managers who work in these companies. Therefore, managers must continually look for methods to identify and implement opportunities that improve case management business processes. In this research study, the focus is on the question ‘what is the impact of case management on medical cost reduction in healthcare companies? This is asked within the context of business processes and leverages the four principles of Taylor’s scientific management theory. \u0000\u0000By investigating the relationship between case management processes in healthcare insurance companies and medical costs, the integrated synthesis uncovers that although evidence exists that case management does reduce medical costs, there is insufficient research on how to improve case management processes. There is an opportunity to provide recommendations on approaches and techniques to improving case management processes to reduce medical costs. Improving case management processes should include quantitative analysis. The proposition is that as case management processes improve and become more efficient, and when targeted against the right population, medical costs for healthcare insurance companies are reduced thereby improving the financial position of healthcare insurance companies. Therefore, managers who understand and know how to improve case management processes in healthcare insurance companies contribute more towards the financial position than companies who do not have the right management.","PeriodicalId":234535,"journal":{"name":"Muma Business Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128373124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article highlights the business case for firms in the petrochemical process industry to manage digital twins as valuable business assets based on academic and business literature, webcast and live presentations, and the professional experiences of the author. A digital twin maturity model is provided to differentiate how each level of data integration contributes to informing. Three digital twin asset valuation models are introduced to illustrate how digital twins can inform value in different contexts. Findings include how knowledge is generated from digital twins, and how an informing attribute of decision making referred to here as ‘insight value’ can be realized from maintaining digital twins over the full asset lifecycle. Many software applications and tools have become available for firms to adopt this innovative technology; however, integration with the diverse and often siloed systems that serve as data sources have been hampered by inconsistent data governance, data exchange requirements, and interface standards. This article, the first in a series of three, explores on-going efforts to mitigate this problem of practice as interest in application of this innovative technology reaches the tipping point where industry-wide adoption drives greater efficiency and improves decision making throughout the complex facility lifecycle.","PeriodicalId":234535,"journal":{"name":"Muma Business Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Oil and Gas (O&G) sector, this digital design data is referenced to plan material orders, stage testing, and track commissioning of the facility components. It can also inform decisions related to construction, installation, and ongoing operational activities of these facilities across multiple locations around the world. Training the workforce to build and maintain this content in the operational context is one of the critical infrastructure challenges of the Industry 4.0 digital transformation. This empirical findings study evaluated a large integrated petrochemical process industry (PcPI) firm as it struggled to understand the need to manage three-dimensional (3D) design models as digital twins after custody of facilities transitioned from project to operations. Results from an exploratory case study at that firm were compared to a transcript of a project kickoff meeting hosted by process industry standards organization. Consistent themes and recommendations surfaced across both sessions and validated findings. Understanding how firms in this sector perceive the need to manage 3D models as digital twins throughout the facility lifecycle supports the need to determine the informing value of this important category of digital assets.","PeriodicalId":234535,"journal":{"name":"Muma Business Review","volume":"329 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132301830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lebens, Roger J Finnegan, Steven C Sorsen, Jinal Shah","doi":"10.28945/4885","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28945/4885","url":null,"abstract":"A worldwide shortage of developers has made low- and no-code platforms important and necessary. This paper investigates the use of these platforms in organizations, along with the role of workforce automation tools. A survey was conducted to find out how prevalent low- and no-code platforms and workforce automation tools are within companies. These platforms are used by citizen developers, employees who are working outside of the Information Technology (IT) department and are not professional programmers. With low- and no-code platforms citizen developers can create the applications that are needed by their work units or even their entire organizations. These platforms are seen as key to the demands of digital transformation. The results of this study are that companies both large and small are making use of low- and no-code platforms, as well as workforce automation tools. In addition, the majority of organizations have employees outside of the IT department who are creating technology solutions. The broad implication of this research is that citizen developers using low- and no-code platforms to create technology solutions may be the solution to the current shortage of developers. By using low- and no-code platforms, the citizen developer can create the applications that the manager needs for their team. This increases the technology available to the organization while at the same time reducing the pressure on the IT department.","PeriodicalId":234535,"journal":{"name":"Muma Business Review","volume":"22 1‐2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132340953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there is considerable research on collaboration, there is a gap related to the leadership contributions that industry partners bring to team science projects. Literature searches returned 192 titles and abstracts, which were assessed for applicability. Of these, seven met the criteria for inclusion. These seven articles formed the basis for snowballing, which contributed to the addition of 19 articles. The 26 papers provided robust research design to be applicable for industry leaders who are supporting government-university-industry partnership projects. Evidence highlighted leadership style and traits that could be applied by industry. The servant leadership style and the capacity to inspire trust were highlighted by the selected research. Operating as a servant leader, an industry leader participating in a team science project has a greater potential to meet research goals and achieve innovative solutions through teamwork. Findings indicate that the facilitation skills common among industry leaders are essential to support a university-industry-government partnership project. Industry partners are well suited to support collaboration while avoiding competitive practices that might otherwise complicate the achievement of project objectives.","PeriodicalId":234535,"journal":{"name":"Muma Business Review","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132132062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
