agility is considered the ability to respond quickly to changes and a major factor for success and survival in today's business. the purpose of this research is to offer a conceptual model using interpretive structural modeling(ism). to this end after reviewing literature and theoretical background, the indices related to achieving agility via information technology (it) have been identifi...

La Venta was a large regional center located near the Gulf coast in Tabasco, Mexico. From ca. 800–400 BC it was the major Olmec capital in Mesoamerica. Despite its significance La Venta has received little archeological attention. The clay structures of its ritual precinct, Complex A, excavated in the 1940s–50s, were subsequently destroyed. Unfortunately, the published reports on those excavati...

The human figure drawing test as a psychodiagnostic method has been used for almost 100 years. During this period it gained its supporters and opponents. can be approached in several ways that have historically developed. aim of work is to present interpretative paradigms (complex evaluation systems), which different theoretical backgrounds well interpreting the results. Each approaches – perfo...

abstract purpose-the purpose of this paper is to review a sample of the literature relating to interpretive structural modelling (ism) and its deployment for modelling purposes in the area of supply chain management (scm). design/methodology/approach- the literature is examined from the three perspectives. first, concept of ism and examines ism as modelling technique. second, use of ism by the ...

The typical insurance firm is subject to a wide variety of risks. Understanding and quantifying the interrelationships between individual risk elements is a significantly important but complex challenge. If we view all the risks in a firm as an integrated system, we can apply a computer-assisted learning process called Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to construct a structural graph and i...

Canonical correlation analysis is a type of multivariate linear statistical analysis, first described by Hotelling (1935), which is used in a wide range of disciplines to analyze the relationships between multiple independent and multiple dependent variables. We argue that canonical correlation analysis is the method of choice for use with many kinds of datasets encountered in human factors res...
