Key requirements for achieving EU-wide programme change

Abstract Issue Across the world, thousands of projects aim for equitable improvement in health for people who are experiencing ongoing avoidable stigma, discrimination and disadvantage however very little change is often achieved. Description of the problem In this presentation we explore key requirements for project-level change to ensure EU-wide programme change is achieved. Results The two most common causes of project failure are a) the innovation is not suitable, needed or wanted (also called theory failure) or b) implementation failure. This presentation shares strategies to mitigate risks of project failure through co-design processes and communication, drawing from 30 years of experience from the entire implementation process from ideation to scale up. These experiences include projects from over 30 countries, including partnerships with the World Health Organization, governments and industry focused on health literacy, self-management, care pathways, workplace health, hospital services redesign, First Nations health and migrant health. Common success factors include balancing top-down needs with co-designed inputs and with previous preferred or good practice (which may have come from controlled trial evidence generated in different contexts). The intervention must co-implemented to serve stakeholder’s needs at all levels, from citizens to decision makers. Lessons The United Nations (UN) and private sector apply system-wide approaches to affect large scale change. This knowledge is valuable for large public health programmes aiming to integrate equity and diversity in project processes to minimize implementation failure.

A systematic review of key success factors in postgraduate studies

Background: Massification of higher education and growth in undergraduate students has propelled a wave of students seeking advanced degrees. Increasing numbers of postgraduate students reflect the performance of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and highlight the need to study key elements affecting postgraduate academic success. Purpose: This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to identify key success factors related to postgraduate studies. Research approach: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were used to guide the reporting of this review. Articles in ScienceDirect, Jestp.com, Ed.gv, Tandfonline.com, Oup.com, Springer.com, Researchgate.net, Sagepub.com, Wiley.com, Alt.ac.uk, and Stor.org were searched between January 2013 and January 2023. Results: A final 28 studies from 14 countries were reviewed to provide a holistic assessment of major factors affecting postgraduate academic success. The most common success factors in postgraduate studies are teaching and learning methods, quality research supervision, research capacity building, library services, Postgraduate Student Office workshops, and student characteristics. Limitations within some factors were also reported. Conclusion and implication: The study concluded that postgraduate students’ ability to function effectively depends on adequately implementing and managing critical and complex factors. The results of the study will inform postgraduate programme practitioners.

How Artificial Intelligence Drives Sustainable Frugal Innovation: A Multitheoretical Perspective

Recent globalization and industrialization efforts have pushed many companies to seriously consider innovation efficiency and its effectiveness. Industries seek to integrate innovation thinking in the company, resulting in different innovation theories. However, these theories become mostly ineffective when disruptions such as pandemics, political instability, or other natural events occur. In response to such disruptions, frugal innovation has been adopted in recent years because it can maximize efficiency with fewer resources. While frugal thinking is effective from an economic perspective, not enough attention has been devoted to exploring this innovative thinking method from the perspective of other pillars of sustainability (environment and society). This article focuses on this gap to deepen the understanding of sustainable frugal innovation in a recent business environment under various theoretical perspectives (triple bottom line, diffusion of innovation, and critical success factor theories). Technology is a vehicle for innovation, so this article integrates the technological advantages of AI with sustainable frugal innovation as a driving force for its effective implementation; other existing studies are limited. Integrating AI with sustainable frugal innovation requires precise actions that can be the result of understanding AIs critical success factors from the perspectives of sustainable frugal thinking. Therefore, this article analyzes the critical success factors for AI through grey DEMATEL. A research framework has been proposed and validated with a Danish case study context. Among 24 overall common critical success factors, “understanding the concept of AI” and “level of AI investment” in sustainable frugal innovation are identified as the most influential success factors. In addition, influential connections among other overall common success factors are presented. These findings could motivate industries to explore different options for successfully integrating AI with their sustainable frugal thinking, which may increase their business competitiveness during disruptions in a more sustainable way.

Towards complementary and integrated care through collaboration between nurses and general practitioners in Flanders: a co-design approach

Background: Primary care systems are challenged by demographic, social, and technological evolutions. Changing care needs due to an aging population, increasing noncommunicable diseases, and multimorbidity affect the service capacity and quality of care. These complex care questions increase the need for interdisciplinary collaboration. Within the general practice (GP), the collaboration between general practitioners and nurses is rising. Research shows that 80% of the Belgian practices that already employ a nurse are convinced of the added value of the collaboration. Moreover, nurses provide cost-effective and high-quality chronic care with high patient satisfaction. The position of a nurse in a GP is still rare in Flanders. The integration of nurses in primary healthcare is challenging.
 Aim: The aim of this research project was to (1) identify barriers and facilitators of integrating nurses in GPs in Flanders, and to (2) co-design a nurse-led method supporting the collaboration within GPs in Flanders.
 Method: A two-phase participatory action research design was implemented. The first phase identifying barriers and facilitators, consisted of a literature review, interviews with stakeholders (n=12), non-participating observations of conversations between nurses and general practitioners at the start of their collaboration (n=11), and 2 focus group discussions with nurses and general practitioners. The second, co-design, phase consisted of semi-structured interviews with practice nurses (n=9) and a co-creative focus group session with nurses (n=5). An advisory committee of experts in the field of GP, nursing, primary care, education, and research guided the research process.
 Results: The first phase identified five important topics and the decision-making process of the collaboration with a nurse: (1) pre-employment needs assessment of the GP, (2) match between nurses and general practitioners, (3) employment status of nurses, (4) onboarding process, and (5) optimalisation towards complementary collaboration. Next, barriers and facilitators were identified on (1) systemic level such as financial barriers, (2) clinical level such as experience in patient consultation, (3) team level such as collaboration within teams, and (4) inter-personal behavioral determinants such as trust, entrepreneurship, and appreciation.
 Subsequently, the advisory committee prioritized the onboarding process. The second phase identified a heterogeneity within onboarding processes with common success factors on clinical, team and inter-personal level. Various individual and context-related success factors were identified such as the degree of collaborative culture, years of work experience, soft skills such as mentorship, experience with the employment of nurses, and the type of GP. Final, the focus group rated seven success factors as important and urgent of which the ‘culture of collaboration’ and ‘the match on vision’ were prioritized. Within the co-design session, a project idea that guides GPs in realizing their vision to strengthen a collaborative culture was developed.
 Conclusion and next steps: Collaboration between nurses and general practitioners is an essential prerequisite within the process towards complementary and integrated care. The need is to take into account the personal tasks, roles, competencies, and how they fit within the team and with the vision on collaboration. The project idea will be prototyped, tested, and adapted through co-design sessions with relevant stakeholders.

It provides a nuanced understanding of common success factors and the contribution of the school principal’s leadership to that success in context. A set of factors that shaped their behaviour and actions is presented that draws attention to cultural relationships and contextual awareness, emphasising not only students’ academic success, but also students’ cultures as vehicles for learning and social change. Findings from this article provide insights into how successful school leaders consider their entire school as a complex system with interconnected parts and build social infrastructures that nurture partnerships with multiple stakeholders.

Comparative study of SPI success factors in global and in-house environment for large-scale software companies

Background Software process improvement (SPI) is an indispensable phenomenon in the evolution of a software development company that adopts global software development (GSD) or in-house development. Several software development companies do not only adhere to in-house development but also go for the GSD paradigm. Both development approaches are of paramount significance because of their respective advantages. Many studies have been conducted to find the SPI success factors in the case of companies that opt for in-house development. Still, less attention has been paid to the SPI success factors in the case of the GSD environment for large-scale software companies. Factors that contribute to the SPI success of small as well as medium-sized companies have been identified, but large-scale companies have still been overlooked. The research aims to identify the success factors of SPI for both development approaches (GSD and in-house) in the case of large-scale software companies. Methods Two systematic literature reviews have been performed. An industrial survey has been conducted to detect additional SPI success factors for both development environments. In the subsequent step, a comparison has been made to find similar SPI success factors in both development environments. Lastly, another industrial survey is conducted to compare the common SPI success factors of GSD and in-house software development, in the case of large-scale companies, to divulge which SPI success factor carries more value in which development environment. For this reason, parametric (Pearson correlation) and non-parametric (Kendall’s Tau correlation and the Spearman correlation) tests have been performed. Results The 17 common SPI factors have been identified. The pinpointed common success factors expedite and contribute to SPI in both environments in the case of large-scale companies.

Adopting population health management in PHC. Bridging needs and response

Abstract Population health management can substantially contribute to realizing some of PHC's central attributes, including person-centeredness; accessibility; comprehensiveness; attention to health problems in their physical, mental, social, cultural and existential dimensions; continuity; coordination and community orientation. It can do this by supporting PHC providers in: • moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to targeted and tailored approaches that account for the needs of different groups within local catchment populations or population clusters with similar needs or health conditions; • moving from passive and reactive to proactive care, ensuring that people with different risks are identified and have their care anticipated; • moving from a narrow focus on clinical needs to a holistic approach focusing also on psychosocial needs and the social determinants of health; and • moving from fragmented and poorly coordinated care to better coordination and integration with secondary and tertiary care and partnership with other sectors and actors in the community. Although moving towards system-wide implementation of population health management requires several years of development work and takes time to achieve impact, population health management can promote improvements in PHC even before the full benefits of population health management are realized. Key and common success factors to enable population health management in PHC are described here as system (such as information governance arrangements that promote information sharing within and outside the health system, data stewardship capacity and skills or support of regulatory agencies); organizational (multidisciplinary and networked PHC models and integration and close collaboration with public health and social care agencies); and clinical-level factors (such as comprehensive and systematic data collection in PHC or patient and community engagement).

온라인 쇼핑 추천서비스 성공 요인

In this study, we aimed to identify the success factors of recommendation services that affect online shopping satisfaction and loyalty. Based on literature review, we identified nine preliminary success factors: personalization, freshness, unexpectedness, variety, reliability, usefulness, discoverability, popularity, and ease of use. Then we collected and analyzed a total 473 data from Korea and China, and further compared the results of cultural differences between the two countries. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, personalization, variety, usefulness, and ease of use were found to be common success factors in terms of satisfaction and loyalty, while unexpectedness, reliability, and popularity were not. Second, the success factors of recommendation services differed in both countries due to cultural differences between Korea and China. In particular, in Korea, only ease of use of recommendation services can directly affect loyalty, so it is difficult for recommendation services alone to lead to continuous purchase behavior among consumers. The results of this study can be used as an empirical basis for global expansion strategies of Korean and Chinese online and mobile e-commerce platforms that want to expand their sales networks to neighboring countries.

A Comparative Study of the Military Tactics of the Mongol Empire and Goguryeo Kingdom (Goryeo)

Abstract The study is conducted as a comparative study of military tactics of the powers representing different regions and time periods throughout human history. Despite the differences in circumstance and time, common success factors are identified in the military tactics of the two great powers. Based on these success factors, it is possible to compare the military tactics of these armies using the following common criteria: basic tactical unit system, strategic flexibility, tactical mobility, and strategic planning. The Mongol Empire and Goguryeo Kingdom had long been the dominant military powers in their regions. Also, during the Goryeo Dynasty, which succeeded Goguryeo, the Mongolian army invaded Goryeo and used there creative military tactics. Especially, the Mongol army was one of the greatest in human history, and through its power and military skill, led to the magnificent growth of the Mongol Empire. Thus, this study identifies the success factors of the Mongol military tactics through comparison with Goguryeo military tactics.

How digitalization transforms the traditional circular economy to a smart circular economy for achieving SDGs and net zero

Promoting and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and net zero will be a high priority among companies and institutions. Several strategies are being developed to motivate and integrate SDGs and net zero-related approaches in companies, among which the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum due to its documented impact on the elements of the SDGs and net zero. In fact, recent studies began to examine the relationship between CE, SDGs and net zero through different perspectives and with different areas of application. Although this relationship is primarily for the implementation of the SDGs and net zero targets, very few studies demonstrate concerns about CE-SDG-net zero relationships, specifically with smart CE. Although the traditional CE influences the SDGs and net zero positively, the traditional approach remains insufficient in several areas, including the lack of real-life information, where most CE practices and principles reside. To address this gap, a smart CE has been established by researchers to unleash the potential of achieving SDGs and net zero. To explore the smart CE and to tackle the existing literature gap, this study focuses on identifying the influence of smart CE with a focus on achieving SDGs and net zero with a single textile case study. The study is divided with four phases, as follows. The first phase attempts to select the best and most feasible CE practices that have a major impact on SDGs and net zero. The second phase understands the smart integrated success factors for adopting selected CE practices. The third phase evaluates and analyzes the overall common success factors for selected CE practices, and finally, the fourth phase validates the available results from the previous phases through feedback from various reliable sources. A case study methodology has been used in this study to understand the core of the research, while it should be noted this study is groundbreaking work in the field of research. Two different multi-criteria decision-making tools (MCDMs) have been used, namely the Best Worst Method (BWM) and the grey DEMATEL for selecting the best and most feasible CE practices and for evaluating the commonly collected success factors. Two theories (CSF theory and TOE theory) have been used to strengthen the study's theoretical background and contribution. To assist practitioners, the available results are discussed in a way that understands the relationship between the chosen CE practices and their considered influential success factors with SDGs and net zero through digitalization.

Venturing and managing disruptive digital innovations: financial management concept motivated propositions

PurposeThere are uncertainties concerning how innovators can successfully venture into disruptive innovations and how incumbents can react to the emergence of such innovations. Disruptive digital innovations, which use information technology to disrupt business contexts and can evolve rapidly to either successes or failures, have unique challenges. The literature has largely remained silent concerning these. Also, existing studies often focus on innovations originating in developed economies and just on successful cases. There is a lack of comparative focus on successful and failure cases emerging across economies. The purpose of this paper is to fill these gaps.Design/methodology/approachThis paper assesses the evolution of disruptive digital innovations in various contexts through a financial management-motivated conceptual framework. Contrary to existing works, this paper focuses on both successful and failure cases and regards the influence of various stakeholders further to innovators and incumbents to explain the successes or failures of the innovation.FindingsThere are some common success factors for disruptive digital innovation. These include an inherent focus on social value, alignment to financiers' interests and rivals' actions and strategic collaborations to create a synergy effect.Research limitations/implicationsInnovators can cause effective digital disruption by focusing on social and financial values. Success can also largely depend on strategic partnerships rather than actions by an individual entity. Thus, venturing and managing disruptive digital innovation is not an isolated but a social process.Originality/valueThis paper recommends propositions for innovators and incumbents to venture into and confront disruptive digital innovations effectively. Its originality lies in focusing on both successful and failure cases, unexplored in literature, to develop the propositions.

Universities of Applied Sciences’ Leadership Role in Regional Innovation Ecosystems

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contains 17 Goals. Goal 9 concerns building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation. Hence, the development of innovation ecosystems in the European community plays an important role. This development is carried out at all levels of governance with an emphasis on the regional governance. The innovation ecosystem approach considers innovation a process that emerges from interaction among different types of companies and other organizations. One of the common success factors and actors in the innovation ecosystem consists of educational organizations that provide access to knowledge and creating knowledge infrastructure. However, the role of universities of applied sciences is not clear in empowering regional innovation ecosystems. In this conceptual paper, the role of universities of applied sciences in regional innovation ecosystems, is discussed. The research has been carried out by conducting an integrative literature review to identify themes, debates and gaps about the role of educational organizations using the Regional Innovation System model (RIS-model) and the system elements for diagnosing ecosystems. The outline of the paper shows that there is a great potential for universities of applied sciences in taking a leadership role in the regional innovation ecosystem due to their neutrality, practical-oriented accumulated knowledge, and expertise in relation to different stakeholder groups. This paper provides an overview of the key findings regarding the potential leadership role of universities of applied sciences in the regional innovation ecosystem for the management board of universities of applied sciences and regional policy makers. Thus, contributes to the formulation of regional innovation policies by including universities of applied sciences more clearly as active partners.

The way to the ‘comedy of commons’ of a new business model-finding from Naples in Italy, and Jeju Island in South Korea

ABSTRACT In this study, we seek to examine the success factors of the classical common goods of various capitalist economies and to apply them to diverse platforms that appear as new common goods. Our research question is as follows: Are there any common success factors that can be applied to produce and use common goods across economic conditions? With the goal of identifying the grounded theory of common goods, the study employed the interview method using a semi-structured questionnaire. Furthermore, it conducted participatory observation and a literature review of case studies as well as a comparative study of 20 Korean commons and 20 Italy commons. According to cases of common goods in Jeju, South Korea, the coupling effects of several public policies could motivate the privatization of common goods. Second, an empty area in common goods consists of a high level of participation with democratization and a low level of common condition. High participation with democratization can avoid privatization and increase new open business models of common goods. Third, active open innovation with a high participation in democratization and expansion of new business models based on tacit knowledge of common goods could be the activating engine of regional innovation systems.

Success in collaborative construction through the lens of project delivery elements

PurposeThe emergence of collaborative delivery models and working practices in construction industry has created a potential area for project success research. Previous studies have addressed success factors of various collaborative delivery models (e.g. alliance and partnering). However, there is currently very limited research-based knowledge concerning core success factors for different collaborative delivery models, exploring the commonalities. Thus, this study aims to conceptualize a success model for collaborative construction projects by identifying and structuring their core success factors through the lens of project delivery elements.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was conducted, and thematic as well as content analysis of the relevant studies led to the identification of mentioned success factors in the literature for different collaborative delivery models. Then, those common success factors were structured in a model based on factors' relation to project delivery elements.FindingsThe obtained results present eight core success factors (e.g. equality, mutual trust and commitment to win–win philosophy) for collaborative construction projects, structured in a model based on their contribution toward project organization, contractual relationships, and operational system in construction project delivery. Moreover, the differences between success factors for traditional and collaborative construction projects are discussed.Originality/valueThis study's findings provide insightful theoretical contributions on collaborative construction project success and providing a departure point for future studies based on the discussed differences between success factors of collaborative and traditional construction projects. The findings can be also practically insightful for the project professionals in collaborative construction projects to succeed in managing project organization, contractual relationships, and operational system.

Semantically Valid Integration of Development Processes and Toolchains

As an indispensable component of today’s world economy and an increasing success factor in production and other processes, as well as products, software needs to handle a growing number of specific requirements and influencing factors that are driven by globalization. Two common success factors in the domain of Software Systems Engineering are standardized software development processes and process-supported toolchains. Development processes should be formally integrated with toolchains. The sequence and the results of toolchains must also be validated with the specifications of the development process on several levels. The outcome of a conceptual deductive analysis is that there is neither a formal general mapping nor a generally accepted validation mechanism for the challenges that such an integrated concept faces. To close this research gap, this paper focuses on the core issue of the integration of development processes and toolchains in order to create benefits for modeling and automatization in the domain of systems engineering. Therefore, it describes a self-developed integration approach related to the recently introduced prototypical technical implementation TOPWATER. A unified metamodel specifies how processes and toolchains are linked by a general mapping mechanism that considers test options for the structural, content, and semantic levels.

Environmentally sustainable practices in global health research and higher education institutions: Lessons from consultation with the TropEd Global Health institutions.

ObjectiveTo examine how global health institutions are reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from their own operations and analyse the facilitators and barriers to achieving decarbonisation goals.MethodsWe reviewed the sustainability goals and implementation plans of 10 global health universities from the ʻTropEdʼ network. We systematically collected information from institutional websites and annual reports. Through online interviews, 11 key informants validated the information from 9 of the institutions and shared their opinions regarding what factors are helping their institutions decarbonise and what factors are hindering progress.Results4/10 institutions sampled have a sustainability strategy and implementation plan, only 3/10 have specific decarbonisation goals, and 3/10 are reporting on progress. 5/10 institutions reported that they are in the process of determining emission reduction targets.ConclusionThis paper identifies common success factors that facilitate decarbonisation as well as common challenges and how they are being tackled, and makes recommendations on sustainability efforts in academic institutions.

The impact of common success factors on overfunding in reward-based crowdfunding: An explorative study and avenues for future research

PURPOSE: While there is abundant literature on the key determinants of reward-based crowdfunding success, little research is dedicated to crowdfunding projects that are not only successful but receive significantly more funds than initially targeted through the defined funding goal. This study seeks to shed light on this vastly neglected topic in crowdfunding research. METHODOLOGY: Drawing on a rich dataset of 338 rewardbased crowdfunding projects, this study applied a two-step statistical analysis. First, regression analyses to determine relevant crowdfunding success factors were conducted in order to corroborate extant literature and to highlight that the data properly reflects the already identified key findings on crowdfunding success. In a second step, the very same factors were investigated for the case of overfunded projects, utilizing logistic regression analyses and a Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition. FINDINGS: Although this study confirmed the findings of previous research considering the factors that increase the success probability of crowdfunding projects, the very same factors turned out to not explain the emergence of project overfunding. For instance, while project founders can provide updates, a higher number of different rewards, or utilize social media pages to increase the likelihood for success, these factors do not contribute to explain the phenomenon of project overfunding. IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study emphasize that in order to understand overfunding of crowdfunding projects, future research must go beyond the basic crowdfunding success factors. Building on the notion of the Two-Factor Theory, the findings suggest that the factors contributing to success can be considered hygiene factors that are required to succeed in the first place. However, these factors do not motivate the crowd to provide further funding to an already successful project. Hence the motivating factors remain yet unobserved in extant literature. In practice, this means that project teams achieving their funding goal cannot rely on the same factors that were helpful to succeed to encourage further funding from the crowd. The differentiation of hygiene and motivating factors for overfunding in reward-based crowdfunding offers rich opportunities for future research. More subjective factors, such as the individual perception of crowd members towards crowdfunding projects, are suggested to play an important role for the occurrence of project overfunding. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: By investigating project overfunding, this study addresses the research gap concerning the factors contributing to the emergence of project overfunding. There is little evidence on the characteristics of overfunded crowdfunding projects, and thus this study provides essential theoretical and empirical groundwork for future research to build upon this study’s results.

오프라인 유통 기업들의 디자인 경영 성공요인 분석 ╶ 코스트코, 노브랜드, BGF 리테일 사례를 중심으로╶

After COVID-19, the online market has been activated and the offline market has been relatively stagnant. However, among offline retailers, Costco, a warehouse-type discount store, No Brand, and BGF Retail, a convenience store franchise, are making efforts to continue their long-term growth through consumers' continued use of their plans despite the sluggish offline market. This study aims to present the success factors of design management of offline distribution stores by investigating how offline stores use design management for corporate management and comparing and analyzing the results. In order to analyze the design management strategy, three criteria were derived from the literature: corporate management strategy, brand experience strategy, and store experience strategy. Through research methods such as interviews, surveys, and field trips, analysis were conducted from a consumer's point of view, and common success factors were derived aft er comparing commonalities and differences between companies. In addition, implications and limitations that each company should consider for improvement in the future were proposed.

Success Factors Affecting Public Projects of Construction Industry in Pakistan

The global enhancement in the construction of megaprojects during the last few decades has triggered competition in project management. Achieving successful completion of projects is the fundamental need that requires understanding the critical factors that govern the productive accomplishment of tasks within due time and budget, simultaneously maintaining the quality and safety standards. Besides, the cost, time and quality, health& safety and environmental issues, and efficient project use are equally important factors that need special consideration to complete a project successfully. Several projects have demonstrated different barriers, especially in construction projects in the public sector in developing countries, such as Pakistan. Hence, this study investigated the criteria considered by the practitioners for measuring success in the construction project of Pakistan. A questionnaire survey involved 43 construction practitioners identifying the indicators relevant to measuring the success of Pakistani construction projects. The findings obtained through Statistical analysis (SPSS) and MS Excel revealed that the most common success factors of construction projects are the role of government, client capability, and project management. From a significance point of view, the role of government is reported as the most significant success factor. The government requires to exercise strict policy for getting work done successfully.
