Leagile is an approach to managing production and supply chain excellence that is a hybrid of conventional Lean and Agile thinking and methods. This paper reviews the extant literature relating to Leagile and in the process identifies important opportunities for advancing research. Although several review works exist for lean operations (e.g. Jasti & Kodali, 2015), this paper seeks to be the first to specifically review Leagile research. Following review of recent, literature reviews (Ho et al, 2015;Jasti & Kodali, 2015), a seven-step process was developed to undertake this research. A total of 225 articles were reviewed, resulting in 53 articles where Leagile was a central theme. Findings include and reveal that Leagile is recognised as important for business excellence (Aykuz, 2014) but under-investigated; papers in high quality publications have declined to date; 73% of research articles used qualitative research methods. Research that involves practical studies comparing the paradigms lean, agile and leagile, tends to better understand the difficulties and better implementation practices of the theme. The service, SME and health sectors are particularly fitting for further work given their competitive, progressive and relatively unexplored nature.

O Better Life Index (BLI) é um respeitado indicador desenvolvido pela Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) para avaliar o bem-estar dos países voltado para decisões organizacionais, governamentais ou mesmo pessoais. Os países são analisados segundo 24 variáveis organizadas em 11 dimensões, as quais são agregadas no BLI calculado individualmente pra cada país. Uma lacuna existente neste contexto é a falta de agrupamento dos páises em acordo com as métricas do BLI, de forma a permitir o planejamento de ações para “pacotes” de países. O objetivo do presente estudo é contribuir para suprir essa carência por meio da aplicação de método de método de clusterização aos dados do BLI. Foi desenvolvido e implementado um código python que utilizou o algoritmo de clusterização kmeans, disponibilizado no pacote scikitlearn para aplicações desenvolvidas em python. Ainda como parte da codificação python, foi utilizado o pacote folium para a plotagem dos dados em um gráfico do tipo mapa-mundi.. A clusterização obtida possibilita a visualiazação em um mapa as classificações obtidas, o que fornece subsídios visuais para a tomada de decisões e políticas.

The study aimed to map the critical success factors for the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the educational process of educational institutions. Problems related to the adoption of ICT in the educational system stem from the need to adapt to the use of new technologies in the internal processes of institutions and in teaching and learning processes, common to different profiles of educational institutions including of engineering courses with them specificities. To meet the objective, a review of the existing bibliography in the Scopus database was carried out to highlight articles relevant to the topic. Based on the review, 31 articles identified the main factors and effects that influence and impact the process of implementation and continued use of ICTs. The survey generated a broader view of the challenges faced in different dimensions, from SWOT framework, involving different stakeholders. It is suggested in future studies to engineering analyze deeper the complex scenario that involves the theme.
