“…The latter is comprised of valuable, rare, inimitable, and nonsubstitutable resources, that lead in recent years primarily to knowledge creation (especially of a tacit one), storage, transfer, innovation, agility, and resilience. The learning process is crucial to dynamic capabilities and knowledge management applications in the healthcare organizations, which are extremely dependent on data and information to provide care and positive impact healthcare outcomes through the coordination of "physical assets, employees, suppliers-materials, customers, organization assets and improve any everyday aspect of the organizational performance (Almansoori et al, 2020). The combination and orchestration of these types of assets must be unique in a continuous consultation with the main stakeholders and difficult to be replicated by competitors, create a strong entity that is capable not only adapt to business ecosystem, but even harness and shape it to a certain degree in order accomplish sustainable development and above the average financial performance.…”

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the performance οf private hospitals and identify conditions that secure sustainable financing οf the sector. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used as the main tool to measure efficiency and effectiveness among fifteen (15) major private hospitals in Greece. Audited financial statement data were analyzed as a basis for the assessment of their performance. Αn input oriented model was applied due to the fact that assets and employee expenses are more likely to be under the control of management in private hospitals, compared to revenues and CFFO. The latter were used as outputs that represent measures of effectiveness and efficiency respectively which secure sustainability. We opted for the Variable Return to Scale (VRS) version of DEA (in connection with the CRS one), since hospital are systems extremely depended on the human capital and the knowledge management, as a means of creating value and are characterized by non-linear dynamics. Findings: The great majority of the hospitals in the sample exhibit increasing and decreasing returns scale. Inefficiencies found to emanate from a non-optimal scale of the hospitals rather, than from management's lack of capability to transform inputs to outputs. Practical Implications: The study aspires to frame options and help management to make informed choices that promote sustainable development of the private sector, which are also applicable to the public one. It is essential for public authorities to judge the meaningful performance of the private hospitals, to administer accordingly the level of its subsidies through public insurance funds, the claw back and rebate policies in a period of fiscal austerity and act accordingly to attract or deter the inflow of scalable private funds in healthcare to promote human wellbeing. Originality/Value: Performance differences, can be leveraged to guide improvements in the operation of the private hospitals and reforms in the health care system.

In this century, we have witnessed tremendous growth in the application of technology in our day-to-day life. One such life influencing factor is social media. In a manner or other, each individual's life is influenced by social media. Individuals and organizations rely more on social media to interact with people, acquire knowledge, promote business, gather information, news telecast, and for many other professional and personal purposes. Researchers use social media as one of the primary data sources for studies related to people's behavior and for various prediction purposes. This empirical study identifies the importance of social media data in recognizing any event's influence on the public. In October 2016 Indian government had demonetarized some active currency, and it created mixed reactions in public. For this research, tweet data was used to determine the impact of demonetarization on India's people. The study results demonstrate that tweet data can be relied on identifying or extracting general public opinions on any given topic or event.

“…The problem with this system is that it eliminates the face-to-face interaction between the project managers and the subordinates. The lack of face-to-face hinders communication, especially when physical presence is required to address some issues affecting performance and production [3]. At Plisse, communication is vital, and every employee should participate in the running and operations of the failure.…”

Knowledge management is a fundamental process and an imperative framework on which organizations achieve competitive advantages. Companies realize that to benefit from the wide range of knowledge available, they must find ways of managing organizational knowledge. However, how companies manage their knowledge is dependent on the activities performed within the organization. Proper planning and implementation of a knowledge management tool allow the company to achieve its objectives while increasing the profit margin. This report provides an analysis of knowledge management in the Plisse Fashion Design Company. The study utilizes interviews as its primary data collection approach. In addition, by carefully examining the accomplished and most distinctive work as well as closely analyzing Plisse's particular case and current knowledge management practices, the study produces various potential areas of improvements. The recommended areas come from the literature review and analyses of case studies. The significant areas of knowledge management are planning and workflow management. Organizations are advised to establish plans and useful tools to exploit the existing knowledge in their departments fully. Furthermore, Plisse should involve its employees and consider the cultural implications of the implementation of knowledge management to ensure it leads to the anticipated results.Keywords Knowledge management (KM) Á Knowledge sharing (KS) Á Knowledge transfer (KT) Á Knowledge management tools Á
