This inquiry is not only timely but also crucial for an industry facing increasing demands amid constrained resources. To address this pivotal issue, the present study utilizes a composite of rigorous methodologies—including the best worst method, interpretive structural modeling, and interpretive structural—cross impact matrix multiplication—to assemble a hierarchical relationship among 4 main enablers and 12 corresponding subenablers. The study's findings reveal that “Technological” and “Organizational” enablers serve as key elements for successful BDA implementation, while “Socio-Cultural” and “Market and Customer” enablers play secondary yet important roles. This hierarchical structure serves as a foundational guide for policy formulation, enabling healthcare organizations to strategize with increased precision. The study strongly advocates for a strategic shift in policy: healthcare organizations should develop comprehensive frameworks that focus on these principal enablers and employ robust metrics for ongoing evaluation. By adopting this approach, organizations can more effectively harness BDA capabilities, thereby not only enhancing their competitive positioning but also improving operational efficiency and patient care outcomes. Through its rigorous methodological approach and actionable recommendations, this research contributes a significant academic reference to the rapidly expanding discourse on BDA-enabled healthcare.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the role of information technology (IT)–business strategic alignment as a boundary condition is not well-defined. We aim to address these gaps by exploring the impact of Big Data analytics capabilities on firm performance, the mediating function of dynamic capability, and the moderating influence of IT–business strategic alignment. A survey of 352 firms was conducted. Findings revealed a positive impact of Big Data analytics capabilities on firm performance with dynamic capability mediating this effect. IT–business strategic alignment was found to enhance the relationship between Big Data analytics capabilities and dynamic capability, thereby influencing firm performance. We contribute in Big Data analytics capabilities and dynamic capabilities by revealing that consensus problems within multiagent system or Big Data analysis platforms impede the effective transformation of Big Data analytics capability into organizational capabilities. Besides, this article incorporates insights from dynamic capability theory by exploring key predictors of IT–business strategic alignment in overcoming consensus problems and improving the likelihood of success.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141965050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We define the scenario where online information serves offline sales as online–offline scenario. Online and offline shopping each has its own advantages and challenges, making it necessary to integrate the strengths of both online and offline channels. Online platforms can discover consumers' attribute preferences through their online generated data. Since consumers maintain coherent attribute preferences over a period of time in both online and offline, offline salesmen can use the attribute preferences transferred from online platforms to create personalized marketing plans. In this online–offline scenario, it is crucial to learn consumer attribute preferences. We propose a knowledge graph-based multiattribute preference learning method (KG-APL), which integrates knowledge graph (KG) and multiattribute decision-making (MADM) theory. Based on MADM theory, KG-APL can learn multilevel attribute preferences in a data-driven way and provide an explanatory analysis for attribute preferences. The explanations rely on both the MADM theory and rich side information about product contained in the KG. Specifically, MADM describes the consumer's decision-making process and KG provides a hierarchical structure from products to attributes and subattributes. To verify its effectiveness and robustness, we use randomly generated data for experiments and real-life data for simulated decision making. Our article provides insight into the way of achieving integration between online and offline channels and offers theoretical and methodological support in enhance online–offline purchase services.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has begun to focus on knowledge management using AI and internal organizational sharing, but the use of online social media for cross-organizational sharing remains underexplored. Our study delves into the role of social media in disseminating construction safety knowledge and the motivations behind this sharing. Employing the social cognitive model, we identified five key factors impacting online knowledge sharing: community identity, social awareness, knowledge sharing self-efficacy, altruism, and the intention to share knowledge. We gathered quantitative data through a survey with 741 valid responses, which revealed that community identity significantly boosts knowledge sharing self-efficacy and social awareness, and that self-efficacy, altruism, and the desire to share are strong predictors of knowledge sharing behavior. The study enriches the theoretical framework of knowledge sharing by offering new insights into the roles of social influence and altruism in knowledge-sharing behaviors. Practically, it advises construction industry professionals on strategies to promote knowledge sharing, especially on how to leverage online platforms and communities to improve the dissemination and uptake of safety knowledge.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142117890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this importance, the impact of DT on breakthrough innovations has not been thoroughly examined. This article addresses this gap by analyzing data from a sample of Chinese listed firms to examine how DT, across both technical and business dimensions, influences breakthrough innovation. Our findings indicate that DT positively impacts breakthrough innovation, predominantly driven by its technical aspect. To understand the mechanisms at play, we identify two key effects. First, the absorptive capacity effect describes how companies strengthen their ability to assimilate and integrate knowledge, thus further stimulating breakthrough innovation. Second, the government subsidies effect shows how firms undergoing DTs gain increased government backing, thereby enhancing breakthrough innovation. The tests of these mechanisms confirm their significant influence. Moreover, taking into account the institutional context, we find that DT fosters a more conducive environment for breakthrough innovation in high-tech industries and regions with low marketization. These findings present important implications for both research and practice in balancing technological adoption with innovation management.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key factors of this dual “digital and green” transition are breaking down silos, collaborating across the supply chain and the need for a data-oriented approach in analyzing input, processing, and output of the DTs. Apart from unravelling the factors on how individual (asset) DTs can support NZ, their aggregates in a connected DT system of systems are also crucial to addressing the complexity of this transition at a larger scale. The article also offers new insights on the orchestrators of such system of DT systems and their governance mechanisms in meeting NZ.

These challenges present the question of how SME owners/managers filter digital opportunities. In this study, we build a middle-range theory of institutional stance, shedding light upon SME owner/manager perceptions of what constitutes important digital knowledge in opportunity-making. In doing so, we demonstrate how SME owners/managers filter and, therefore, shape digitalization opportunity-making. Specifically, we uncover two stance filters that SME owners/managers draw upon—a human pragmatist stance filter and a futurist stance filter—both of which are enacted in the pursuit of digitalization opportunity-making. Moreover, our findings provide further fine-grained insights into how stance filters evolve via suspension of judgment, stance resonating thresholds, and scarring remnants. We conclude that digitalization opportunity-making is not resolved with a binary or reductionist framing but by understanding the evolutionary nature of the institutional navigation process.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
