This study aims to assess the importance of critical success factors by developing a critical success factor framework, relationship, and subfactors that influence the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The framework was developed based on previous studies that were grouped into five critical success factors, namely, strategy, organization, top management, environment, and technology. We then applied structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 212 samples were gathered and grouped. The results indicate that strategy is the most important critical success factor, followed by organization, top management, technology, and environment.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89025827","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, most enterprises have been struggling under the post-implementation stage. This work aims to review the state-of-the-art issues of ERP in the post-implementation stage, including communication, legacy system, collaboration, and the manager is hard to monitor the performance. Based on the Design Science (DS) method, we highlight how to offset the lack of an ERP system and ECS according to the guidelines of DS, and show the exhaustive steps for implementing the artifact-SuccERP. Our research is rigorous and interpretive by considering the steps of the DS and the functions of Software Engineering. Further, we explore multiple ERP systems to summarize the difference in authentication, initial data, and specific procedures aspects, after that, we consider the two most popular procedures (order creation and bill of purchase creation) as examples to demonstrate and evaluate the proposed artifact—SuccERP in the result. We propose the complete and practical research for solving the issues from previous theoretical results of an ERP, and to show experimentally that the proposed SuccERP is easy to maintain by applying the Cyclomatic Complexity and the Maintainability Index as metrics. This study is a milestone that allows ERP research to move from the theoretical stage to integrating, creating things that serve a human purpose, and dealing with the issues presented by previous works practically.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83350343","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}

Z-factor is an essential competence in managing crises. Zeal and Z-factor are comprised of three mutually synergic processes of willfulness, adaptability, and copability (cope-ability). Will determines the drive and the commitment to achieve the overarching purposes. Adaptability is the capability to understand and make necessary adjustments to address requisite external factors. Copability is the internal processes that help maintain a sense of well-being and wholeness. In dynamic and complex environments, zealous social systems strive to achieve their will through adapting and coping. Those with feeble zeal are less capable of adopting the will for adapting to their external conditions or sustaining their internal wholeness. When facing complexity and change, the zealous willfully strives to build and maintain external relevance to adapt and sustain internal efficacy and coherence. The zeal to succeed is driven by the purposeful will and synergy of adapting and coping for responding to externally induced changes while assuring a well-functioning system internally. This article explores zeal and Z-factor as a requisite determinant of social systems’ effectiveness, well-being, and revitalization in dynamic complex environments.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74166319","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, the primary reason is that the electricity ratio between supply and demand may not be balanced. An extra or scarcity inside the production or intake of electricity can disrupt the system and cause critical problems which include a drop/rise in voltage and, under difficult conditions, power outages. The use of Energy Management Systems can effectively increase the balance between supply and demand and decrease peak load throughout unplanned durations. The energy management system is capable of not only sharing or exchanging energy between the different energy resources available, but also of economically supplying loads in a reliable, safe and effective manner under all conditions necessary for the operation of the power grid. This work outlines the structure, goals, benefits and defies of the energy control system via an in-intensity analysis of the distinctive stakeholders and participants engaged on this system. A detailed essential analysis of the functioning of distinct programs which includes Demand Response, Demand Management and Energy Quality Management implemented inside the electricity management gadget is presented in this review. It also summarizes quantifications of the various strategies of uncertainty. It includes as well a comparative and an important assessment of the primary optimization techniques which are used to obtain the extraordinary goals of energy management structures while at the same time meeting a wide range of requirements.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74779353","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}

The approach integrates information from previous projects by considering historical data using ML algorithms and current unfinished artifacts to determine the degree of completion. The information required to measure the progress of engineering activities is extracted from engineering artifacts and subsequently analyzed and interpreted according to the project’s progress. Data flow models of the engineering process help understand the context of the analyzed artifacts. The use of digital twins makes it possible to connect plan data with actual data during the completion of the engineering project.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75176993","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 data is extremely heterogeneous and so it is hard to analyze and derive information from this data that is considered an indispensable source for decision-makers. New techniques are therefore needed to handle these huge amounts of data to find the hidden information thus improve the results of the analysis. We are developing a framework for the analysis of heterogeneous data using machine learning (ML) techniques. In contrast to most of the literature frameworks that focus on a specific type of heterogeneous data for evaluating the proposed framework, we have analyzed 15k tweets data from six American airlines. These tweets are collected from the open stream of Twitter, also predict, classify each tweet as a negative or positive review, and test the ability of deep learning (DL) algorithms by comparing it with traditional ML algorithms. The findings confirmed the validity of the proposed framework and helped to achieve the study objective by providing excellent analysis performance and provide insights into additional aspects of information extraction from heterogeneous data.","PeriodicalId":45882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Business Management","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73852356","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}
