The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis and the Theory of Constraint (TOC) approach in the planning and execution of Information Technology (IT) projects. Organizations consider a number of trade-offs during the entire lifecycle of an IT project due to the conflicts between limited resource availability and the timely de...

Virtual reality (VR) systems (Neumann et al., 2017), which are currently receiving considerable attention from athletes, create a twoor three-dimensional environment in the form of emulated pictures and/or video-recordings where in addition to being mentally present, the athlete even often feels like he/she is there physically as well. As she/he interacts with and/or reacts to this environment,...

The paper proposes a methodology for determining management strategies in construction enterprises. For this purpose, the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis as an instrument for formulating management strategies is recommended. The best practices for this reason are also analysed. The algorithm helps to select the most preferable strategies based on the AHP, expert...

The advance of the information technology and e-business strategies made it possible for the (para)pharmaceutical industry in Greece to be organised in clusters in order to deal with the invasion of big international production companies. The paper presents a case study of the Greek (para)pharmaceutical industry and explores the reasons that led the links of this supply chain to align goals and...

This study uses SWOT analysis to explore perceptions of differential administrative placement of the Information Systems academic discipline within four universities across two countries, Australia and Korea. The analysis provides a useful basis for decision makers to exploit opportunities and minimize external threats. The study also offers useful insights for Information Systems academics con...

The purpose of this paper is to map SWOT analysis to the problem familiar and knowledge familiar dimensions and meet the challenge of knowing little about the problem and lacking of related knowledge by integrating the peripheral vision. In the SWOT analysis from knowledge point of view, organizations can narrow the internal and external gap in order to retain competitive advantage and diminish...

Generally scarce computational and memory resource availability is a well known problem for the IoT, whose intrinsic volatility makes complex applications unfeasible. Noteworthy efforts in overcoming unpredictability (particularly in case of large dimensions) are the ones integrating Knowledge Representation technologies to build the so-called Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). In spite of allowed ...
