Aec Industry

Blockchain is regarded as a potential technology for transforming the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, and the number of related publications is increasing rapidly. However, a systematic review of blockchain applications in the AEC industry is lacking. The objective of this study was to review the current status of blockchain applications via a bibliometric analysis combined with a systematic literature review. According to related articles collected from databases, the present status of blockchain was analysed with regard to the distribution of articles over publication years, journals, institutions, countries, cooperation networks between authors, keyword co-occurrence networks, and research methodologies. The results indicated that research on blockchain applications is still relatively new and fragmented with regard to several topics. Five areas of benefit were identified: (i) supply chain management, (ii) contract management, (iii) information management, (iv) stakeholder management, and (v) integration management. On the basis of the technology–organisation–environment framework, nine types of challenges were identified. Future research opportunities were proposed according to the research findings. This study contributes to the current body of knowledge and provides guidelines for further research on blockchain applications in the AEC industry.

Global sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue, as evidenced by the numerous conferences of the UN and its sister organizations with worldwide participation. The goal is a critical inventory of the desirable goals, as well as the questioning of the current status quo and the procedure. There are obvious gaps that will be briefly discussed. This paper does not only deal with state sustainability, but shows the approach of this topic by the German state. Not only the basic assumptions and the goals are documented, but these are, as far as possible, checked for their realism or feasibility. Method comparison of the defined procedure by the German Federal Government with the goals set by the UN and the finding of possible deviations. Research findings are shown within a brief summary to offer an opportunity for further analysis, discussions, or results. The sustainability test is an accepted possibility to measure effects on nature, based on indicators and values. The estimation of legal consequences must be borne in full by all decision makers. Ecology, Society, Technology and Economy have to go hand in hand and people have to be taught their current behavior regarding environment costs money. Results and implications for practice, applications and consequences are identified. Sustainability and its effects can be evaluated in the short, mid and long term run. All people worldwide are influenced by lived or just not lived sustainability massive in their lives. Avenues of future research should always include sustainability tests and estimations of legal consequences regarding the decisions done by politicians at this matter. This paper deals with sustainability and the associated consequences in the area of legislation, as well as with the verification of the achievement of individual environmental goals.

Research Findings

Objective Health service managers and policy makers are increasingly concerned about the sustainability of innovations implemented in health care settings. The increasing demand on health services requires that innovations are both effective and sustainable; however, research in this field is limited, with multiple disciplines, approaches and paradigms influencing the field. These variations prevent a cohesive approach, and therefore the accumulation of research findings, in the development of a body of knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough examination of the research findings and provide an appropriate theoretical framework to examine sustainability of health service innovation. Methods This paper presents an integrative review of the literature available in relation to sustainability of health service innovation and provides the development of a theoretical framework based on integration and synthesis of the literature. Results A theoretical framework serves to guide research, determine variables, influence data analysis and is central to the quest for ongoing knowledge development. This research outlines the sustainability of innovation framework; a theoretical framework suitable for examining the sustainability of health service innovation. Conclusion If left unaddressed, health services research will continue in an ad hoc manner, preventing full utilisation of outcomes, recommendations and knowledge for effective provision of health services. The sustainability of innovation theoretical framework provides an operational basis upon which reliable future research can be conducted. What is known about the topic? Providers of health services are rapidly implementing innovations in an effort to provide effective health care. Little research has been conducted to evaluate the sustainability of these health service innovations. What does this paper add? This paper aims presents an integration and synthesis of the current body of knowledge to provide a theoretical framework to evaluate the sustainability of health service innovation. What are the implications for the practitioner? An improved body of knowledge surrounding the sustainability of health service innovations generated from research will consequently result in more appropriate use of resources and improved provision of health services.

Attractive Market

Domestic tourism represents an attractive market for most countries, in particular for high-cost countries such as Norway. based on this market's notable size and financial potential, tourism marketers are aiming to attract residents to experience their country's tourism offerings. by identifying the characteristics of domestic tourists such as their preference for nature-based activities, tourism marketers can segment these tourists and target them accordingly. The present study puts forward preferences as a theoretical construct in order to outline preferred nature-based activities in addition to demographic, geographic, and behavioral characteristics as the basis to study variety within domestic nature-based tourism. A total of 1,201 Norwegian residents who exhibit an interest in nature-based vacations in Norway participated in an online questionnaire and were segmented using two-step cluster analysis. The results revealed four valid domestic nature-based activity clusters that differ based on several profiling characteristics. based on the research findings, several theoretical contributions and recommendations for tourism marketers are provided. Future research opportunities and the limitations of the research are also outlined.

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura a respeito dos estudos de gerenciamento de stakeholders no âmbito dos artigos indexados no repositório do Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes). Para tal, foi utilizado o protocolo Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões sistemáticas e Meta-análises (Prisma), para a seleção de sete artigos, que foram contemplados na análise. Os resultados revelam aspectos das pesquisas que podem ser comparados aos quatro processos integrantes da área do conhecimento “partes interessadas”, do Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), criado pelo Project Management Institute (PMI, 2013): i) identificação, ii) planejamento do gerenciamento, iii) gerenciamento do engajamento e iv) controle do engajamento. Foi possível verificar também, por meio dos trabalhos selecionados, elementos associados aos stakeholders contemplados pelas pesquisas, como a análise dos stakeholders em projetos de Tecnologia da Informação, os critérios de sucesso em projetos considerando a interferência dos stakeholders, as facilidades e dificuldades na gestão dos stakeholders, o desenvolvimento de um modelo conceitual abordando o gerenciamento dos stakeholders e a utilização de tipologias para classificá-los. Pode-se considerar a restrição ao banco de artigos do repositório do Portal de Periódicos da Capes como limitação do trabalho, o que deixa espaço para sugestão de pesquisas futuras, considerando outros repositórios para a realização de revisões sistemáticas referentes à temática do gerenciamento dos stakeholders na gestão de projetos.Palavras-Chave: Stakeholders.

For this, was used the protocol Main Items to Report Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyzes (Prisma), for the selection of seven articles, which were included in the analysis. The findings reveal aspects of research that can be compared to the four stakeholder knowledge processes of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), created by the Project Management Institute (PMI, 2013): i) identification, ii) management planning, iii) engagement management and iv) engagement control. It was also possible to verify, through the selected works, elements associated with the stakeholders contemplated by the research, such as the analysis of stakeholders in Information Technology projects, the criteria of success in projects considering the interference of the stakeholders, the ease and difficulties in managing the stakeholders, the development of a conceptual model addressing stakeholder management and the use of typologies to classify them. The restriction to the article database of the Capes Journal Portal repository may be considered as a limitation of the work, which leaves room for suggestion of future research, considering other repositories to conduct systematic reviews on the topic of stakeholder management in the project management.Keywords: Stakeholders.
