This article aims to show that OKRs, a key MBO method, can enhance company performance and employee satisfaction. We conducted a comparative and retroactive analysis of MBO methods used in the 20th and 21st centuries, and surveyed 238 people in nine countries and various companies and positions. We analyzed the results of the survey and compared the variables associated with best practices in the OKR methodology. Our study examined a diverse range of companies, positions, qualifications, and ages, which provides an analysis of whether or not OKRs are being used in the organization and a comprehensive understanding of how OKRs can be implemented across in different contexts. By identifying the best variables associated with optimal performance and employee satisfaction, this article provides practical guidance for organizations seeking to adopt OKR methodology. Furthermore, this article can contribute to the development of best practices in the area of management by objectives, particularly in the context of OKRs, leading to more effective and efficient goal-setting practices in organizations.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 2","pages":"110-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143925084","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}

Accurate EC prediction enables proactive decision-making, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to meet actual demand levels while maintaining occupant comfort. Population growth, building expansion, and technology usage swiftly escalate electricity demand, thus necessitating economical EC management strategies and assist consumers to better understand and strategically plan their EC. To address these challenges, this article proposes a novel approach based on a hybrid prediction model combining temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) and gated recurrent units (GRU). This approach capitalizes on the strengths of both TCN and GRU. TCN is adept at efficiently identifying diverse patterns, particularly within the complex working environments of SBs, by effectively capturing high- and low-frequency information. Subsequently, GRU is leveraged to address the long-term dependencies within the data, enhancing the accuracy of EC prediction. In this article, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid model, outperforming competitive methods with an impressive mean absolute error score. This underscores the potential of this approach to improve energy management practices significantly within SB environments, ultimately enhancing both operational efficiency and occupant satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 1","pages":"54-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143845332","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}

A conceptual framework emerges providing the basis for research propositions to guide empirical investigation to improve understanding for practice. An integrative literature review was employed to synthesize a broad range of literature. With considerable attention given to the need for strategic alignment in sales and operations planning (S&OP), achieving this has proven difficult in practice. This article employs contingency theory to classify themes arising from existing literature into contingency, response, and performance variables. Delving deeper, resource-based view theory provides insight into the feedback loop between response and contingency variables and the application of dynamic capabilities view theory reveals a cyclical adjustment capability that supports a growth-oriented mindset. The findings provide insights into the organizational mindset shift from control to growth, which is required to achieve strategic alignment. Manufacturing organizations, including start-ups, small to medium enterprises, and large companies, struggle to achieve strategic alignment in S&OP and, therefore, fail to trigger longer term decision making. The conceptual framework provides guidance for managers to reflect on their S&OP practices and develop action plans to achieve strategic alignment to extract the full value from their S&OP processes.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 2","pages":"41-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143925174","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}

Recent literature provides numerous definitions of the term, which appear to lack conceptual clarity and cause an ambiguous understanding of the metaverse and its accompanying terminology, strengthening the importance of a commonly agreed definition. This article follows a multimethod research methodology consisting of a bibliometric analysis, a literature review, and an international focus group dedicated to the standardization of the metaverse. The bibliometric analysis that was conducted using the keywords “metaverse” and “definition” to the scientific repositories ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus, revealed, among others, the most cited articles. Definitions extracted from the top ten cited articles were compiled, and their associated keywords and their weaknesses were identified. As these findings needed to be confirmed, they were circulated with the focus group experts, leading to an exchange of various insights and information concerning the definition of the metaverse. The outcomes of this study are highly interesting since they delineate the pivotal terms of the metaverse, culminating in the establishment of a universally accepted definition.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 3","pages":"110-127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144299370","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}

Leveraging a design science research methodology, our article introduces a medical device value chain framework that advances beyond traditional mappings. Initially, two systematic literature reviews were employed to construct a preliminary map, pinpointing 74 value-adding activities across seven distinct categories: Idea Generation, Research and Development, Production/ Manufacturing, Market, Distribution and Use, Waste Management, and Systemic aspects. The framework was utilized with structured interviews with 17 subject matter experts from the Western Cape province in South Africa. These experts evaluated each value-adding activity on a 3-D scale—importance, effort required, and difficulty. After these evaluations were looked at more closely, the most important bottlenecks in the medical device value chain could be identified. The results were then visually combined using a linking grid. This matrix-based tool helps delineate the connections between medical device value chain components, pinpointing where bottlenecks align with undesirable effects. It forms a basis for formulating strategic interventions to achieve desirable outcomes.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 2","pages":"63-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143925170","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}

However, achieving the adoption and scaling of digital tools in healthcare remains a challenging goal globally. This challenge is compounded by an inconsistent and fragmented approach to adoption and scaling, as well as a limited reliance on theoretical tools throughout a digital health intervention's lifecycle phase. This article argues that adoption and scaling requirements should be prominently integrated into each phase of traditional healthcare system development and project management processes to facilitate these systems’ widespread adoption and use. Addressing this necessitates the operationalization of multiple theoretical tools across a digital health intervention's lifecycle. To tackle the identified weakness of limited reliance on theoretical tools, we conducted a qualitative evidence synthesis, culminating in a reusable framework for theory operationalization. To illustrate how the above framework can be applied in practice, we provide and discuss a use case scenario, involving a hypothetical design, development, and implementation of a remote patient management application. This work expands the existing literature on technology implementation in healthcare by introducing a framework that assists practitioners to connect theoretical concepts to traditional system development and project management activities and phases.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 2","pages":"96-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143925171","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}
