With limited empirical evidence, prior research suggests resource slack as a fundamental feature of resilient operations and supply chains. This study draws insights from the resource-based theory to empirically examine relationship between operational resilience. The attention-based view firm is then used argue that while may be an essential resilience, its effect mediated by organizational at...

The traditional focus of scheduling research is on finding schedules with a low implementation cost. However, in many real world scheduling applications finding a robust or flexible schedule is just as important. A robust schedule is a quality schedule expected to still be acceptable if something unforeseen happens, while a flexible schedule is a quality schedule expected to be easy to change. ...

Given a metric (V, d), a spanner is a sparse graph whose shortest-path metric approximates the distance d to within a small multiplicative distortion. In this paper, we study the problem of spanners with slack : e.g., can we find sparse spanners where we are allowed to incur an arbitrarily large distortion on a small constant fraction of the distances, but are then required to incur only a cons...

An original data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is to evaluate each decision-making unit (DMU) with a set of most favorable weights of performance indices. The efficient DMUs obtained from the original DEA construct an efficient (bestpractice) frontier. The original DEA can be considered to identify good (efficient) performers in the most favorable scenario. For the purpose of identifying bad...

Introduction Eastern European „revolutions‟ of 1989 are continuing to generate considerable debates amongst scholars, politicians and economists. The transformations also present a unique opportunity for sport scholars interested in studying organisational change. Most studies of sport have been concerned with organisational change as result of state or commercial interventions (Amis & Slack, 2...

Railway carbon emissions reduction is of great significance. In this study, emission efficiency in railway transportation China’s 31 provinces measured for 2006–2019 based on an unexpected output slack-based measure (SBM) model. A gravity matrix the spatial correlation network constructed using modified model, structure explored social analysis, and factors influencing are analyzed quadratic as...

Agro-tourism integration is a breakthrough to flourish rural industries and fulfill revitalization. Also, agricultural eco-efficiency agro-tourism are closely linked, so investigating the relationship between two significant for realizing high-quality agro-ecological development in China. However, existing studies have ignored impact of on eco-efficiency. For this purpose, using dataset 30 prov...

Slack resources have important strategic and managerial implications in an organization and IT plays an important role in redeploying them. Yet, this area has largely been overlooked by the IS community. This study, through a novel theoretical lens of resource fluidity, aims to answer how organizations leverage IT to redeploy slack resources. We conduct a case study at two leading manufacturers...
