Financial efficiency evaluations in a network system, considering intermediate products, nowadays consideres great importance for managers. In the process of doing business analysis, each stage of in a network is of particular importance. In this paper, with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the performance of a network with feedbacks are considerd. In this assessment, financia...

Equity theory approaches justice evaluations based on ratios of exchange inputs to exchange outcomes. Situations are evaluated as just if ratios are equal and unjust if unequal. We suggest that equity ratios serve a more fundamental cognitive function than the evaluation of justice. More particularly, we propose that they serve as causal schemas for exchange outcomes, that is, they assist in de...

all societies face the need to make judgments about what interventions (both public health and personal medical) to provide to their populations under reasonable resource constraints. their decisions should be informed by good evidence and arguments from health technology assessment (hta). but if hta restricts itself to evaluations of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness, it risks being vie...

The process of evaluating visualizations can be time-consuming. Here, we present a design aimed at automating the process of performing quantitative and qualitative evaluations of graph visualizations by leveraging crowdsourcing, and a set of predefined evaluation modules based on a graph task taxonomy. Specifically, we allow designers to quickly set up a user study with representative graph ta...

Cranfield-style evaluations standardised Information Retrieval (IR) evaluation practices, enabling the creation of programmes such as TREC, CLEF, and INEX, and long-term comparability of IR systems. However, the methodology does not translate well into the Interactive IR (IIR) domain, where the inclusion of the user into the search process and the repeated interaction between user and system cr...

Business process management technology is used at many sites as an instrument to improve the efficiency and agility of business operations. Currently, only a fragmented insight exists into the determinants for successful usage of this technology. The study in this paper is a first approach to more systematically investigate this issue, in particular by taking the end-user perspective into accou...

Recently published guidance on process evaluations by the Medical Research Council’s (MRC’s) Population Health Sciences Research Network (PHSRN) marks a significant advance in the evaluation of complex public health interventions. 2 In presenting programmes as not just a set of mechanisms of change across multiple socioecological domains, but as an interaction of theory, context and implementat...
