Business Intelligence Capabilities and Firm Performance: A Study in China     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology expands the boundary of business practice, inducing the emergence and application of business intelligence (BI) that has promoted the transformation of information techniques to optimize business decision and operation. However, there is a lack of theoretical consensus and measurement of the technology embedded in BI at present. This study exploratively develops the Sense-Transform-Drive (STD) conceptual model of BI based on dynamic capabilities theory and organizational evolutionary theory to explain the core BI capabilities. By using factoring analysis and structural equation modeling analysis, we extract the latent constructs and empirically verify the validity of the STD model and further examine the correlation and mode of interaction of the three core BI capabilities and the impact of BI application on firm performance in the real economy with a sample contextual to Chinese business practices. The study results show that there are direct and high-intensity cumulative positive effects among the structural components of the STD conceptual model and BI-related dynamic capabilities can enhance operating efficiency and firm performance.  相似文献   

Restorative Practice in New Zealand Schools: Social development through relational justice     

Wendy Drewery 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2016,48(2):191-203

This article proposes that restorative justice practices (RJPs), as used in New Zealand schools, are better understood as an instrument of social development than a behaviour management practice. Concerns about the achievement of Māori students are relocated, from an individualised psychological and pedagogical problem to an interdisciplinary context of historical and social development. Social constructionist theory is suggested as a lens through which RJPs in schools may be seen as the intentional production of respectful social relationships, rather than as behaviour management. A restorative process has the productive capacity to restore healthy relational functioning, both for those who have been offended against and those who have offended. It is argued that the primary function of restorative justice in schools is not about resolving specific conflicts, but rather, about the production and maintenance of respectful relationship, which is the antithesis of colonised relationship. Such a position reflects accountability on a communal, rather than individualised basis, and accords with recent moves in the United Nations Development Programme to look at Human Development as building agentive capacity.  相似文献

中西政治制度设计中的“人性假定”     

《南通师范学院学报》2011,(3):17-22

任何一种制度的安排,都应该建立在特定的人性认识基础之上。中西不同的人性假定,导致了不同的治政方略和制度路径。西方政治制度理念的基本分析框架,是建立在人性恶论基础之上的权力分立和制衡思想,其基本的哲学判断是＂制度高于人性＂;中国传统政治制度理念的基本分析框架,则是建立在人性善论基础之上的崇尚德治与集权专制思想,其基本的哲学判断是＂人性优于制度＂。＂性善＂与＂性恶＂两种不同的人性假定,导致了中西＂德治＂与＂法治＂不同的政治文化与政治制度设计。＂德治＂与＂法治＂分别构成了中西政治哲学的核心理念。儒家文化中的人性本善假定从民族文化精神和心理的角度看,固然提升了人们对民族文化的自尊自豪感、民族自信心以及民族凝聚力,但却对中国政治发展也产生过一些不良影响。中国传统的德治思想必须突破和超越人治的范畴,必须在私人领域和公共领域两相区分的前提下,参照西方的宪政理念与法治经验,方可为当代中国的政治建构提供有益的借鉴。  相似文献   

What is the Australian National Maritime Museum Ilma collection?     

Dominique Sweeney 《档案与原稿》2019,47(1):153-163

ABSTRACT

The Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) in their Darling Harbour warehouse store just over one thousand Ilma. The Ilma are performance symbols of Bardi law and custom, which tell stories of the lands and seas of the Dampier Peninsula, King Sound and surrounding islands of Western Australia. Ilma performances are public and meant for all to see. The ANMM in 2007 resourced detailed documentation of the collection. In 2018 the collection still does not appear on the online catalogue and remains unavailable for public view. While recent efforts have been put into the collection there are important questions to be raised about the responsibility of museums to collections that have contested meanings and serve multiple purposes.  相似文献

《黄帝内经》“阴阳二十五人”人格理论的优势与不足     

王彦 《教育教学论坛》2020,(19):98-99

《黄帝内经》是中医重要典籍,它将五行与人体形态、体质、人格特征等属性进行联系,提出“五形人”并推演出“阴阳二十五人”学说。“阴阳二十五人”包含了理论驱动式、演绎式的人格理论,不同于西方数据驱动式、归纳式的人格理论,因此具有重要的理论价值。与此同时,该学说也存在一些明显的瑕疵,需要加以完善和修正。  相似文献   

No harmless child labor: The effect of child labor on academic achievement in francophone Western and Central Africa     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2021

This study empirically examines the effect of child labor on academic achievement in 10 francophone Western and Central African countries. The data were taken from the Programme d’Analyse des Systèmes Educatifs de la CONFEMEN and comprised characteristics of 25,288 grade six students across 1803 schools. Two-stage least squares analysis highlights that child labor undermines academic achievement regardless of subject, gender, and age. It lowers reading and mathematics scores for both genders and for children under 12 and over 13 years. Child labor therefore hinders human capital accumulation in African countries, and it takes place at the cost of future prosperity.  相似文献   

Outstanding performances during elite-standard short and middle-distance finals and the hyperandrogenism regulation—A detailed analysis of Caster Semenya’s results     

Jonathan Ospina-Betancurt  Maria S. Zakynthinaki 《Journal of sports sciences》2020,38(6):703-709

ABSTRACT

Recently, there has been much controversy over the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) regulations regarding eligibility to compete and natural testosterone levels in female athletes. Much interest lies in the analysis of Caster Semenya's extraordinary performance. The objective of this work were, a) Complete an analysis of Caster Semenya's results during the 800m finals and b) search for existing similar performances by other female athletes. We analysed the results of the finals of all IAAF World Championships and Olympic Games from 1984–2016, including the 800m results of the Diamond Leagues 2016–2018. Exponential curves were fit to the data to characterise and predict performance for each event. Caster Semenya's finishing times before her ineligibility to compete and after the suspension of the IAAF hyperandrogenism regulation were found to be 1.24% and 1.49%, respectively, faster than the characteristic performance of the elite-standard in the women’s 800m final. Other female athletes, with finishing times faster than the ones predicted by the characteristic curves were also discovered. The percentage difference in performance between Caster Semenya and the other participants did not reach 3% in the 800m event. No conclusions can be drawn regarding extraordinary results ever performed during the 100m, 200m or 400m finals.  相似文献
