Leveraging the ABJ model， a regression analysis explores how different AI‐enabled intelligent manufacturing approaches influence cost stickiness through the lens of innovation equilibrium. The sample comprises manufacturing companies listed on China's A‐share market from 2013 to 2021. The findings reveal a negative correlation between intelligent manufacturing adoption and cost stickiness among these firms. Specifically, production‐based intelligent manufacturing exhibits a more significant effect on reducing cost stickiness compared with collaborative intelligent manufacturing methods. Moreover, intelligent manufacturing positively impacts both joint equilibrium innovation and matching equilibrium innovation. While joint equilibrium innovation is negatively associated with cost stickiness, matching equilibrium innovation shows no significant relationship with cost stickiness. The results indicate that innovation equilibrium plays a mediating role in the relationship between AI‐driven intelligent manufacturing and cost stickiness. Overall, this research sheds light on how AI capabilities enabling intelligent manufacturing processes and innovation equilibrium dynamics can help alleviate cost stickiness issues faced by manufacturing enterprises. It highlights the strategic value of adopting AI systems to enhance operational efficiency and cost management flexibility within manufacturing contexts.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141813056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its applications span across various sectors such as manufacturing, medicine, commerce, security, forestry and agriculture. The application of IoT in agriculture involves gathering data from diverse sensors, offering timely and precise solutions. This technology facilitates the reduction of manual labour involved in tasks like animal monitoring, greenhouse management and field surveillance. Integrated sensors within the IoT framework enable the collection of data pertaining to soil, air, water, animal tracking, plant growth and other relevant metrics. Nevertheless, the swift evolution of IoT presents a susceptibility to unauthorized access and compromises in data security. To address this concern, the utilization of blockchain technology has been recommended. This paper proposes a novel IoT architecture integrated with blockchain technology to enhance data security in agricultural applications. A detailed schematic has been devised and implemented in software to illustrate this approach.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141832654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter study policies as codified and constructed output of the formulation process, which is an activity directed to the process. The analytical concept ‘structural logic’ emerged as an internal property of policy text and has been understudied, perhaps because of the lack of methods and understanding. The paper is a systems‐theoretic exploration of systems assumptions and policy designs. The paper contributes to the theoretical underpinnings of the nature of policy design (as conceptual systems) and how systems‐based assumptions can help understand structural logic by providing a locus for studying and measuring policy element interaction. Findings suggest that it is in the interactions of those elements and connections (policy statements/propositions/directives), corresponding to the causal relations in the real world wherein the effectiveness of policy designs lies (level of structure). The exploration posits that the deep structural similarities between the domains of systems are so ecologically parallel that the insights from one system allows for similarities to be exploited and transferred to understanding the other. The paper provides insights for overcoming policy design limitations and a new way for studying policy element interaction for improving its effects in policy implementation.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141650186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies have evidenced that subjects may nevertheless have great difficulty understanding and managing dynamic systems, with several assertions are being made regarding the impact of employing transparent model simulations on learning and performance outcomes. This research, therefore, examines the moderating impacts of structural and behavioural debriefings, which are concentrated respectively on critical variables and relations, and on the connection between model structure, action patterns and system behaviour. We propose a series of hypotheses regarding the impact of model transparency and prior debriefing conditions on participants' performance and their comprehension of the system dynamics. Three out of the six hypotheses were validated: prior structural debriefing alongside model transparency positively impacts performance; prior behavioural debriefing, when combined with model transparency and prior structural debriefing, positively impacts both the comprehension of model dynamics and performance.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, replies were restricted to specialized specialties, resulting in disjointed solutions. Cancer research has mostly concentrated on genetic and cellular factors. This essay aims to reframe the way we think about cancer by looking at it through the perspective of information processing. It investigates the cybernetic component of life, perceiving it as a unified system of information processing at all scales. Stem cell research reveals their complex heterogeneity and flexibility, which are critical for tissue repair and development. Initially thought to be harmful, chaotic gene expression is now acknowledged to provide cellular flexibility. Using chaos to improve adaptation contrasts with the unpredictability of evolution, showcasing the system's ability to learn and adapt. Creativity, disorder and chaos interact, opening up new avenues for new ideas. This viewpoint opposes the gene‐centric view of cancer and highlights the importance of understanding biological processes beyond genetic reductionism. The essay finishes by pushing for a paradigm change towards seeing cancer as an informational process rather than just a hereditary disease and encouraging a better knowledge of the information processing capabilities of cellular life.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141340284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In their endeavour to find suitable teaching positions in public secondary schools, OTTs often confront multiple challenges. This study explores the different issues that 12 OTTs experienced after obtaining a teaching position in public secondary schools in Australia. An instrumental case study was the chosen methodology. Data were collected through 12 in‐depth semi‐structured interviews and researcher generated field notes. Systems thinking concepts are employed to identify the various systems that interact and provide the context for individual teachers in the classroom. The results indicate that participants experienced the following challenges: apparent lack of effective in‐school induction and mentoring, student behaviour management issues: pedagogical and cultural dissonance and perceived workplace harassment and discrimination. Much of the analysis and guidance for successful classroom teaching emphasises appropriate strategies that should be used by the teacher. From our analysis, we argue that these alone do not account for either success or failure in the classroom. The wider school system, family and community structures, State/Federal Education Department, regional and national economies and socio‐cultural factors all have an important role to play yet are beyond the influence of the individual teacher. The systems thinking approach offers a way forward to create effective solutions to address the problems faced by OTT and also avert a major crisis in public secondary schools. However, despite all of the challenges OTTs faced, the majority were grateful for their multiple positive and rewarding experiences in Australia.","PeriodicalId":47538,"journal":{"name":"SYSTEMS RESEARCH AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141342501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
