Therefore, this study aims to critically evaluate the impact of AI usage on recruitment biases, particularly in the context of China. The data were gathered through a survey of 423 respondents working in the manufacturing sector. We use a cross-sectional dataset and various diagnostics (i.e., reliability and collinearity tests). The empirical findings using multivariate regression techniques suggested that Al usage is reshaping the recruitment process by offering innovative solutions to tackle biases that have pervaded the hiring process for years. However, human involvement is indispensable in the recruitment process, alongside the use of AI. Although the use of AI can efficiently handle tasks such as resume screening and data analysis, human judgment brings essential qualities to the hiring process. Human recruiters possess the ability to assess a candidate's soft skills, cultural fit, and emotional intelligence, as these qualities are challenging for AI to comprehend. The policy implications of the study recommend that by combining the strengths of AI efficiency with human insight, organizations can create a recruitment process that is not only objective and efficient but also considerate, ethical, and aligned with the values and goals of the company.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10634779","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142083903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the literature has not fully explored the significance of dynamic capabilities in sustainable development. Hence, in this article, we examine the impact of digital capabilities (DCs) and operational transparency (OT) on achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Drawing upon the dynamic capability view (DCV), we analyze the impact of DC on decent work conditions (DWCs), reduced inequalities (RIs), responsible consumption and production (RCP), and reduced carbon footprint (RCF) through the mediating effect of OT. We conduct 14 semistructured interviews to understand how developing dynamic capabilities can drive organizations toward achieving SDGs. Subsequently, we apply a cross-sectional survey to gather data from 257 respondents in the Bangladeshi ready-made garments industry. We use the variance-based structural equation modeling technique to test our research hypotheses. Our findings suggest that DC significantly enhances OT and that OT can positively impact DWC, RI, RCP, and RCF. Additionally, we find that OT partially mediates the link between DC and SDGs. Our study provides valuable insights into the DCV, offering a better theoretical understanding of the role of DC in enhancing OT to achieve SDGs. It can also encourage firms to take advantage of emerging digital technologies and the trend toward digitalization by demonstrating a strong commitment to adopting new advanced technologies, developing dynamic capabilities, and striving to achieve SDGs.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10631685","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142021669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although DT can help companies develop open innovation as a new value proposition, the external operating constraints of the company may limit the use of this strategy. However, previous studies have not investigated the processes that limit the effects of DT on open innovation. We create a moderated explanatory model that explores the relationships between DT and open innovation. It is based on the theories of constraint and dynamic capability.

To fill such gaps, the research explores various enablers and their inter-relationships that can empower DTS. The study deploys “Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM)” and MICMAC to analyze complex relationships between different enablers and classify them into clusters based on impact ability. The proposed model can lead to improvements in service delivery, including faster response times, personalized services, greater accessibility, and innovation to increase digital competencies. By leveraging the study findings, organizations can improve their service offerings, respond to changes in demand more quickly, maintain high levels of service quality, drive innovation, foster collaboration, and deliver more effective customer-centric services.

Our analysis reveals that the manufacturer can make her investment plan according to the spillover effect of efficiency improvement and the marginal cost of utility increase, improving efficiency (increasing utility) if both are high (low), regardless of the retailer's choice. The retailer should choose the same strategy as the manufacturer if the two factors mentioned above are both either very low or high and a different strategy when they are moderate. Moreover, we further find that the risk-averse manufacturer (retailer) should invest more than the risk-neutral retailer (manufacturer) if members have excellent (poor) adaptability, and risk aversion can cluster their choices, making them prefer the same strategy.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084505","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}

However, they are susceptible to damage when confronted with disruptive events like earthquakes. This fosters a pressing demand for research geared towards building a resilient critical infrastructure. To furnish crucial benchmarks for enhancing system resilience, we developed a framework for assessing the resilience of critical infrastructures, considering their intricate multi-component configurations. Our framework conceptualizes overall resilience as a synthesis of four principal attributes: resistant, absorption, adaptive, and recovery resilience. Aiming at quantifying these attributes, the temporal performance behavior of the system is modeled via Markov processes. On this basis, resilience measures are defined concerning attributes within the framework, each incorporating both inherent and acquired aspects. The calculation formulas for these measures are derived analytically based on aggregated stochastic processes. This investigation also proves that, within the proposed framework, series systems are no more resilient than parallel systems. A case study of a potable water system subject to earthquakes is showcased to exemplify the devised assessment framework and calculation method. Meanwhile, some managerial insights are provided to designers and managers responsible for critical infrastructures. \u0000<p><i>Managerial Relevance Statement</i>–This article introduces a framework for assessing the resilience of critical infrastructures (CIs) in response to disruptive events. The findings indicate a progressive decline in both the inherent resistant and absorption resilience of CIs with increased operational duration, leading inevitably to interruptions. This highlights the imperative for CI designers to focus on enhancing inherent adaptive and recovery capabilities of CIs to counter such interruptions. Meanwhile, the study finds that both the acquired adaptive and recovery resilience initially increase before diminishing over the lifespan of CIs. This insight offers guidance for managers aiming to prolong the operational lifespan of CIs, emphasizing initial resource allocation to prevent potential interruptions, and recommending subsequent resource reallocation to facilitate rapid recovery from such interruptions. In addition, the research proves that parallel systems exhibit superior resilience compared to series systems, given identical components. This suggests a significant variance in the improvement level of systems with different structures when equivalent recovery resources are applied, underscoring the strategic importance of structural considerations in resilience enhancement efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142013224","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 degree of new internal corporate venture (ICV) relatedness is assumed to drive the degree of operations autonomy parent corporations grant their ventures, with operations autonomy being a well-recognized determinant of ICV performance. This research examines the influence of a venture's learning proficiency on the relationship between venture relatedness and operations autonomy. Results from 145 ICVs operating in 72 parent corporations indicate that learning proficiency strongly moderates the relationship between parent–venture relatedness and autonomy, but the direction of the moderating effect depends on the type of relatedness being considered, i.e., either market familiarity or product similarity. This research highlights the importance of recognizing differences in the likely acquisition modes and transferability of distinct resource types when considering the involvement of parent corporation-level management in the operations of their ventures. Fundamentally, the specific resource types (i.e., property-based or knowledge-based) implied by the different forms of venture relatedness are best understood as inviting or deterring corporate involvement in a venture's operational decision making when considered in light of the degree of learning proficiency demonstrated by those ventures.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141966223","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}
