Extending the Horizons: Environmental Excellence as Key to Improving Operations
TL;DR: This paper argues that the underlying mechanism is one of extending the horizons of analysis and that this applies to both theory and practice of operations management, and extrapolates from the developmental paths of total quality management and supply chain management to speculate about the future of environmental research in operations management.

Meta-analysis of the relationship between quality management practices and firm performance—implications for quality management theory development
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analytic study is presented that fulfills two objectives: first, the paper formalizes performance implications of adopting QM practices and present hypothesized relationship between QM practice and performance; and second, a metaanalysis of correlation (Hunter and Schmidt, 1990 ) approach is used to examine the empirical research in QM to determine which QMM practices are positively related to improved performance.

Defining lean production : some conceptual and practical issues
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the definition of lean production and the methods and goals associated with the concept as well as how it differs from other popular management management techniques, and how it can be used to improve the efficiency of the production process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud manufacturing: a computing and service-oriented manufacturing model:
TL;DR: The concept, architecture, core enabling technologies, and typical characteristics of CMfg are discussed and investigated, as well as the differences and relationship between cloud computing and CMfg.
Defining Lean Production : Some conceptual and practical issues
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the definition of Lean Production and the methods and goals associated with the concept as well as how it differs from other popular management concepts, and conclude that Lean Production is not clearly defined in the reviewed literature.

Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the Mathematical Basis for Multiple Regression/Correlation and Identification of the Inverse Matrix Elements is presented. But it does not address the problem of missing data.

An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an evolutionary theory of the capabilities and behavior of business firms operating in a market environment, including both general discussion and the manipulation of specific simulation models consistent with that theory.
Book
Applied Linear Statistical Models
TL;DR: Applied Linear Statistical Models 5e as discussed by the authors is the leading authoritative text and reference on statistical modeling, which includes brief introductory and review material, and then proceeds through regression and modeling for the first half, and through ANOVA and Experimental Design in the second half.
Book
Reliability and Validity Assessment
TL;DR: The paper shows how reliability is assessed by the retest method, alternative-forms procedure, split-halves approach, and internal consistency method.

Structural Inertia and Organizational Change
Michael T. Hannan,John Freeman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider structural inertia in organizational populations as an outcome of an ecological-evolutionary process and define structural inertia as a correspondence between a class of organizations and their environments.
