Design-logic alignment in digital transformation: A qualitative meta-analysis of Kodak

ABSTRACT Why does an incumbent like Kodak, despite investing early in digital technology, still fail to create and capture value? We argue that Kodak’s fate exemplifies a canonical paradox of digital transformation (DT) because its organisational identity, strategy, and technolog...

A Physics-Guided Statistical Framework for Bearing Fault Diagnosis Under Unit Variability and Rotational Speed Uncertainty

Reliable bearing fault diagnosis must differentiate between defects and normal-operation-condition variation. The predictor must remain accurate when shaft speed is uncertain. Conventional accuracy-driven models often ignore false-positive rates and fail to accurately locate faul...

Cost learning and strategic inventory: who should carry inventory in a vertical supply chain?

Problem Definition: In a decentralized supply chain, the downstream retailer (he) may strategically carry inventory to induce lower future wholesale prices, triggering the upstream manufacturer (she) to raise the early-period wholesale price to deter such behavior. In the presenc...

Towards a systemic approach to fitness-based feature optimization under limited resources for IoT attack detectors

Purpose The paper aims to propose, through feature extraction/selection techniques, a systematic approach for the optimization of features based on fitness and allowing IoT attack detectors to operate efficiently with limited resources. Design/methodology/approach Through a syste...

Investment-led Trade Integration: An Assessment from India’s Sectoral Perspective with Its Trade Agreements

The article examines the impact of trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) across different sectors and regions by analysing India’s Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA) with South Korea and Japan, as well as its free trade agreements (FTA) with ASEAN and SAARC....

The impact of artificial intelligence capabilities on institutional performance: the mediating role of dynamic capability

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the relation between artificial intelligence (AI) capability, dynamic capability and institutional performance in Northern Cement Plants in Iraq. It further investigates whether dynamic capability mediates the relation between AI capability...

ConvSNN: an energy-efficient hybrid convolutional-spiking neural network for wrist-worn stress and affective state recognition

Abstract Continuous stress monitoring on wrist-worn devices matters for real-time affective computing, digital health, and personalized well-being, yet it remains difficult because a wearable model must operate with few sensors, little compute, and a tight energy budget. Chest-mo...

Impact of aesthetic music education philosophy on early childhood teachers’ professional identity: an exploratory mixed-methods perspective on SDG 4

Purpose The professional identity of early childhood teachers plays a crucial role in improving teaching quality, job satisfaction and children’s holistic development. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of integrating aesthetic music education into early childho...

Mechanical properties of chemical treated pineapple leaf fiber reinforced polyester composites filled with nanoclay

Abstract This study investigates the mechanical performance of nanoclay-filled pineapple leaf fibre (PALF) reinforced polyester composites prepared using the hand lay-up technique followed by compression moulding. The influence of PALF content (5–25 wt.%), nanoclay loading (0–4 w...

The Role of Relational Stakeholder Management, Trust, and Leadership in the Success of Sustainable Construction Projects

This study aims to examine the role of Relational Stakeholder Management (RSM) on the success of sustainable construction projects in urban areas of Pakistan. The study also examines the mediating role of trust (competence trust, integrity trust, and intuitive trust) and the mode...

Reporting of justifications for withholding established effective interventions in randomised placebo-controlled trials: a systematic review

Randomised-controlled-trials (RCTs) are crucial for assessing the efficacy of new treatments. Some RCTs are placebo-controlled, which is uncontroversial when there is no established effective intervention or when a placebo is added to one. However, withholding an established effe...
