Continuous improvement and dynamic actor associations: A study of lean thinking implementation in the UK National Health Service

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the link between continuous improvement and dynamic actor associations through a case of lean thinking implementation in healthcare, and suggest that the implementation of CI depends on the emergence of a "favouring" network from the dynamic associations between heterogeneous entities.
