The paper objective is to present a qualitative analysis of existing project management approaches and to propose a new hybrid model for effective management of innovation programs based on traditional project management approaches, agile methods to involve the customer, and then lean approach to eliminate waste. The results were illustrated by a new model based on the Japanese P2M (program and project management for enterprise innovation) guide, then combine it with Agile Industrial Scrum method and the agile 3S (scheme, system, and service) model of P2M, and finally with some lean tools and techniques oriented towards the innovation and project management context. Finally, an application case was illustrated where the researchers present the planning of the application of the proposed model on an innovation program in medical waste management field.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Nonetheless, some project success/failure factors have been identified, but often the effect sizes were statistically negligible. A pragmatic mixed methods recursive approach was applied, using structured programming, machine learning (ML), and statistical software to mine a large data source for probable project success/failure indicators. Seven feature indicators were detected from ML, producing an accuracy of 79.9%, a recall rate of 81%, an F1 score of 0.798, and a ROCa of 0.849. A post-hoc regression model confirmed three indicators were significant with a 27% effect size. The contributions made to the body of knowledge included: A conceptual model comparing ML methods by artificial intelligence capability and research decision making goal, a mixed methods recursive pragmatic research design, application of the random forest ML technique with post hoc statistical methods, and a preliminary list of IT project failure indicators analyzed from big data.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Today's PM practices rely heavily on human input. However, that is not the optimum use of the human project manager's intuitive, innovative, and creative abilities. Many aspects of a project manager's work could be managed by machines that utilize AI/ML approaches to address nonroutine and predictive tasks.

To analyze whether to buy or sell the stock, four financial algorithms, namely Bollinger bands, moving average convergence/divergence indicator (MACD), money flow index (MFI), and relative strength index (RSI) are employed to find the composite result. Moreover, sentiment analysis of the news depending upon the earning calls and the annual general meetings is done to provide an overall stock and market sentiment analysis. In-depth balance sheet analysis of the company is also done using various instruments to make the trade assistance more accurate.

To facilitate the understanding of website managers on specific aspects which matter the most to customers, this study employs the best-worst method to evaluate the importance of various criteria employed by the web users to assess these digital options. Additionally, using four life insurance websites (LIC, SBI Life, HDFC Life Insurance, and Max Life Insurance) as alternatives, the study helps illustrate the competitive position of the websites based on key criteria: trust, visual appeal, innovativeness, information fit-to-task, tailored information, response time, intuitive operations, and relative advantage. The results of this study are easily interpretable and can provide key insights on the specific attributes in a comparative manner for website administrators and managers.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In this work, the authors compared different approaches and algorithms to predict the relevant features that affect the customer churn, which means we can find ways to reduce the customer churn and create financial inclusion. This research was conducted by applying different machine learning techniques like decision tree classifier, random forest classifier, AdaBoost classifier, extreme gradient boosting, and balancing data with random under-sampling and random oversampling. The authors have also implemented AutoML to further compare different models and improve the accuracy of the model to predict customer churn. It was observed that applying AutoML highest accuracy model gave the accuracy of 97.53% in comparison to that of the decision tree classifier, which was 93.48% with the use of low processing power. Important features were ‘total transaction amount' and ‘total transaction count' to predict customer churn for a given dataset.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Inf. Technol. Proj.

In the same direction, initially, this paper proposes a methodology to act on the financial dataset and construct a stock correlation network of four stock indexes based on the closing stock price. The significance of this research work is to form an effective stock community based on their complex price pattern dependencies (i.e., simultaneous fluctuations in stock prices of companies in a time series data). This paper proposes a community detection approach for stock correlation complex networks using the BAT optimization algorithm aiming to achieve high modularity and better-correlated communities. Theoretical analysis and empirical modularity performance measure results have shown that the usage of BAT algorithm for community detection proves to transcend performance in comparison to standard network community detection algorithms – greedy and label propagation.","PeriodicalId":375999,"journal":{"name":"Int.

G-7 economies, as representative of developed economies, are fronting with a sharp decline in foreign direct investment inflows in the entire world's FDI inflow, while BRICS, a representative of developing economies, is getting more of the world as a whole's FDI inflow. FDI is a significant economic development variable that has substantially impacted the economic growth of economies. Past trends of FDI inflow into BRICS and G-7 economies showed that BRICS economies had noticed a higher compounded average annual growth rate in FDI compared to G-7 economies in the preceding periods. The best-suited ARIMA model's anticipated value of FDI inflow shows an increasing trend in BRICS and a steady and dropping trend in the G-7. Comparative results of the predicted values of FDI inflow showed that BRICS would have positive FDI inflow while the G-7 would follow a declining trend.
