This paper aims to tackle the problem of low accuracy in predicting financial distress in Chinese industrial enterprises, attributable to data imbalance and insufficient information. It utilizes annual data on systemic risk indicators and financial m...

This paper considers the agency selling channel in a supply chain under platform service investment. We construct Stackelberg game models to study the impact of the manufacturer’s encroachment strategy on supply chain members. Research results...

With the promotion of the “carbon neutrality” and “carbon peak” initiatives, green credit plays an important role in helping enterprises to change their high-pollution, high-energy-consumption production methods and establishi...

In response to Boschma’s concern that the implications of relatedness- and unrelatedness-based diversification strategies lack empirical evidence at disaggregated levels and in the context of the Global South, this study generates a unique data...

Shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEVs) can offer safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly real-time mobility services with advanced autonomous driving technologies. In this study, a multi-agent-based simulation model considering...

Although previous studies have predominantly dealt with innovation ambidexterity, they have only focused on a single innovation activity and overlooked the interaction of innovation activities. Drawing on organizational ambidexterity theory, this stu...

Through the examination of the ecological consequences of human actions, policymakers are able to distinguish certain areas in which resource use can be increased and the generation of waste diminished. This study examines the effects of foreign dire...

At the current stage of development and implementation of information technology in various areas of human activity, decisive changes are taking place, as there are powerful technical resources for the accumulation and processing of large amounts of...

Embedding collaboration networks in the context of open innovation can facilitate firm innovation. Previous studies have not considered the impact of multilevel network structural embedding on firm innovation. In this study, organizational collaborat...

Drug distribution performed through hospital pharmacies facilitates public expenditure savings but incurs higher social costs for patients and caregivers. The widespread presence of community pharmacies could support patient access while also improvi...

Air pollution severely threatens people’s health and sustainable economic development. In the era of the digital economy, modern information technology is profoundly changing the way governments govern, the production mode of enterprises, and t...

In psychotherapy research, the first applications of dynamical systems research (DSR) date back to the 1990s. Over time, DSR has developed three main lines of research: the study of oscillations in synchronization; the study of oscillations between s...

High-tech manufacturing enterprises, as innovative entities, are a key focus of national attention. Currently, such enterprises are facing both internal governance pressure and external institutional pressure. Unlike traditional studies that mostly u...

Manufacturing companies are always looking for ways to outperform their competitors. They are constantly trying to improve their efficiency and reduce costs. One method that improves efficiency and maximises the availability of production equipment i...

Furniture production is a specific industrial sector with a high human labor demand, a wide range of materials processed, and short production runs caused by high customization of end products. The difficulty of measuring the aesthetic requirements o...

Artificial intelligence, augmented, virtual, and mixed reality applications are improving business tools to increase their efficiency and ability to innovate. Technological innovation offers creative opportunities, but each generation values these ad...

Nowadays, the importance of logistics management has been increasingly realized in industry and society. However, current educational approaches in logistics management seem unable to effectively equip students with the necessary skills to cope with...

The advancements in human-centered artificial intelligence (HCAI) systems for Industry 5.0 is a new phase of industrialization that places the worker at the center of the production process and uses new technologies to increase prosperity beyond jobs...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing across technology domains including healthcare, commerce, the economy, the environment, cybersecurity, transportation, etc. AI will transform healthcare systems, bringing profound changes to diagnosis, treatm...

Research focuses mainly on the impact of automation on employment and wages but pays little attention to its impact on employee job satisfaction, especially in the context of the Global South. Using survey data from China, this article investigates t...

Despite a profusion of literature on complex adaptive system (CAS) definitions, it is still challenging to definitely answer whether a given system is or is not a CAS. The challenge generally lies in deciding where the boundaries lie between a comple...

With the continuous development of digital technology, the widespread use of virtual spokespersons to promote city images is becoming increasingly prevalent. This study responds to this trend by employing a factor analysis and entropy weight methodol...

When confronted with rainstorms and flood disturbances, the operational processes of urban metro systems demonstrate vulnerabilities to attacks, inadequate resistance, and sluggish recovery characteristics. The flood resilience of UMS operational pro...

The following work aims to show how a combination of continuous improvement (CI) and Lean tools can reduce waste and process variability along an air-conditioned pipe production line (PL), calculate its capacity, and improve its efficiency to achieve...

We adopt a multilayer networks approach to assess how network structural embeddedness affects corporate technological innovation. Our findings indicate an annual increase in both single-layer and multilayer networks, although adoption of the latter b...

Human factors play a huge role in road traffic safety. Research has found that a huge proportion of traffic crashes occur due to some form of human error. Improving road user behavior has been the major strategy that has been emphasized for improving...

Timely short-term spatial air quality forecasting is essential for monitoring and prevention in urban agglomerations, providing a new perspective on joint air pollution prevention. However, a single model on air pollution forecasting or spatial corre...

This research aims to study a real-world example of the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem (UPMSP), considering job-splitting, inventories, shortage, and resource constraints. Since the nature of the studied optimization problem is NP-hard...

In the context of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, production factories are increasingly focusing on process optimization, high product customization, quality improvement, cost reduction, and energy saving by implementing a new type of digital s...
