“…The constructs consist of three (3) constructs of IoT services and one (1) construct of the factors of the smart primary healthcare building facility. Hence, this study adopted a quantitative design (McNabb, 2017). The area of this study is smart healthcare building facilities.…”

Smart primary healthcare building facility services capture a new level of process and operational data through advanced monitoring, enabling experts to use the building facilities to produce significant and efficient healthcare service delivery within the individual spheres of influence. This study assessed the impact of IoT services on achieving smart primary healthcare building facilities in the rural area of South Africa to enhance primary healthcare delivery. The study identified three (3) basic constructs of IoT services that comprised the application of IoT location recognition and tracking services, the application of the IoT high-speed communication network-based services, and the application of IoT-based services. The study is quantitative, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the project managers and healthcare practitioners working with the primary healthcare agency in South Africa. The study found a variable degree of impact between the three (3) IoT constructs and the achievement of primary healthcare building facility services in South Africa. The study recommends adopting IoT essential services for achieving smart primary healthcare building facility services in the rural areas of South Africa and other developing countries facing similar primary healthcare delivery challenges.

“…Topical scope entailed both statistical and case studies, whereby the former observe and manage numerical data drawn from samples, and the latter involve the gaining of detailed knowledge of specific scenarios (Emory & Cooper, 1985;Gomes et al, 2016). The time dimension included longitudinal studies (which replicate research across different time intervals) and cross-sectional ones (which portray static snapshots of moments in time) (Gomes et al, 2016;McNabb, 2012). Communication mode comprised observations and surveys, whereby the former analyze the behavior of samples and the latter are deployed to gather large volumes of data (Emory & Cooper, 1985;Gomes et al, 2016).…”

A 27‐year review of mergers and acquisitions research in 27 leading management journals

This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) by providing a systematic review of over 500 academic articles across 27 management journals over a 27‐year time frame. There appears to be a mixture of empirical and conceptual articles, with a larger proportion being empirical but an increasing number leaning towards a conceptual nature. Our findings show that most studies follow a quantitative approach and use large samples, mostly originating from existing databases. There is an emergence of thematic areas related to the strategic factors influencing M&As, but with the human dimension, gaining increasing attention over time.

“…As already pointed out, there is in Italy a predominance of Ordinary Courts and Public Prosecutors Offices, although the highest response rate has been recorded with Juvenile Courts 1 Considering a statistical population of 804 units (N, which is the universe) and estimating a margin of error (e) of 6%, a confidence interval of 85% (Z-score = 1.44) and a standard deviation of 50%, (p), we gather that the optimal dimension of the sample is as follows (McNabb, 2018):…”

Purpose That on accountability in public organizations is quite an old debate. Its introduction in judicial systems is, however, still viewed with some suspicion, due to its potential trade-off with independence and impartiality. Nevertheless, the need to respond to the demands for greater transparency and accountability has also pushed judicial organizations to establish a dialogue with a wide range of subjects. This study aims to explore the understanding and the current practices of sustainability reporting currently in place in judicial systems. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a comparative approach, conducting an online survey in two European countries (Italy and Poland). The survey was built around the research questions and literature and administered between February and March 2020. Specifically, 804 courts were involved, of which 430 are in Italy and 374 in Poland. Findings Findings show that the current practices are still not widespread and there is still a lack of understanding of what sustainability reporting is, and therefore, of what its potential usefulness within the courts could be. Moreover, many differences between the two countries are pointed out, so it is possible to assume that the different cultural and institutional settings influence sustainability reporting practices. Finally, some interesting implications for policymakers are provided. Originality/value Judicial organizations are still poorly investigated in the literature, despite being at the center of a wide public and political debate. Moreover, the international comparative perspective adopted constitutes a further aspect of novelty.
