Enterprises need to understand the impact of different types of knowledge management (KM) approaches on business strategy, and how they interact with other types of initiatives to produce synergistic effects. The hypothesis of this paper is that a model based on the balanced scorecard approach (BSC) can be used to balance the diverse set of KM approaches that are described in the KM literature....

The new energy vehicle industry is now developing at a high speed, with fierce competition among enterprises. Enterprise performance evaluation system an important guarantee for the realization of enterprise strategic objectives. A reasonable vital to development article builds eva-bsc model EVA value as core and BSC framework, determines weight by using method combining AHP entropy method, emp...

Abstract: As an important part of knowledge management (KM), the KM performance evaluation tries to find out the key factors restraining the enhancement of the enterprises' performance. This paper investigates the feasibility of the balanced scorecard (BSC) method in enterprise knowledge management and then proposes a simplified and applicable performance evaluation model based on the BSC appro...

data envelopment analysis (dea) and balanced scorecard (bsc) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (dmus). bsc is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, dea is more appropriate. in the real-world, dmus usually have complex structures such as network structures. one of the well-known network s...

Over the past few decades, researchers have developed several approaches such as the Reference Phantom Method (RPM) to estimate ultrasound attenuation coefficient (AC) and backscatter coefficient (BSC). AC and BSC can help to discriminate pathology from normal tissue during in-vivo imaging. In this paper, we propose a new RPM model to simultaneously compute AC and BSC for harmonic imaging and a...

BACKGROUND The use of chemotherapy has been proposed to increase the effectiveness of best supportive care (BSC) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous trials reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) and treatment-related mortality. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects o...

BACKGROUND As a response to a changing operating environment, healthcare administrators are implementing modern management tools in their organizations. The balanced scorecard (BSC) is considered a viable tool in high-income countries to improve hospital performance. The BSC has not been applied to hospital settings in low-income countries nor has the context for implementation been examined. T...

Satellite cells are a heterogeneous population of myogenic precursors responsible for muscle growth and repair in mammals. The objectives of the experiment were to examine the growth rates and degree of heterogeneity within bovine satellite cells (BSC) isolated from young and adult animals. The BSC were harvested from the semimembranosus of young (4.3 ± 0.5 d) and adult (estimated 24 to 27 mo) ...

BACKGROUND Eli Lilly and the China Primary Health Care Foundation are currently implementing a patient assistance program (PAP) in China, which allows first-line nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who complete four cycles of pemetrexed induction therapy to receive free, continuous pemetrexed maintenance therapy. OBJECTIVE To estimate the cost-effectiveness of pemetrexed m...
