Digital transformation enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to reduce or overcome their reliance on resources energy, thereby minimizing environmental impact providing them with sustainable green competitive advantages. However, the reasons for this phenomenon are not yet clear. To further investigate issue, we selected 391 Chinese SMEs examine relationships among transformation, innovation, government regulation, Green innovation includes product process while regulation incentive...

Also, study aims explore influence GP on environmental performance, operational and financial performance firms. Design/methodology/approach This developed conceptual model investigate stakeholder drivers commensurate outcomes GP. Statistical analysis was based data collected from 124 firms across Greater China. Finally,...

Ocular fundus disease is one of the most complex areas ophthalmology and a difficulty in ophthalmic education training. Fundus imaging an essential tool reliable method for teaching diseases. At present, development has entered multimodal era. The traditional mode difficult to meet current increasing needs. This study aims evaluate application value case-based learning (CBL) combined with clinical ocular All thirty-four postgraduate students studying at Ophthalmology Center Beijing Tongren...

Purpose This paper aims to present an empirical study on the multidimensional relationships between sustainable supplier management (SSM) practices and buyer–supplier performance from buying firms’ perspective. Specifically, authors focus four SSM practices, namely, selection, monitoring, development collaboration, test their effects three measures, performance, relationship buyer competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach Based data collected 256 manufacturers across different...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the underlying impacts customer orientation on new product development (NPD) performance. Further, study investigates moderating effect top management support (TMS) orientation-performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach This as a unique approach has classified into three sub-dimensions: focus, involvement and communication with customers. And NPD performance explored both from financial nonfinancial aspects. Findings...

In order to investigate the characteristics of school building energy consumption, consumption 17 schools in Tianjin have been counted and discussed. Based on statistics, results indicate that average comprehensive per unit area is 121.81 kWh/(m2 a), person 36 kWh/(p a) electricity 36.07 2007. It found construction lower than public buildings, which 257.61 2015.The main reason quality thermal environment poor running time short. However, school's total large we should pay more attention it....

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is an efficient way for energy disaggregation, as it can identify and monitor power consumption of downstream appliances or equipment from the aggregated data acquired a single electricity metering point. There are many researches applications NILM in residential load but very few applied on industrial so far. This paper studies disaggregation via based on-situ monitoring one factory. The factorial hidden Markov model (FHMM) five factory with active...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap in understanding effects external involvement on new product market performance. Particularly, authors investigate mediating speed-to-market products and moderating information technology (IT) implementation. Design/methodology/approach This study based high-performance manufacturing (HPM) project database collected from 366 plants ten countries three representative industries. hierarchical regression analysis employed explore...

Purpose This paper aims to identify the most influential barriers for environmental management system (EMS) adoption and determine interactions of these factors in context Chinese textile apparel industries. Design/methodology/approach The study has conducted two different research phases, namely, identification 13 from extensive literature available expert panel discussion using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) investigate complex relationships among partition into a hierarchical...

The industrial development in northeast China is characterized by regional characteristics. main characteristics are precocious and leap-forward development, which a typical resource-dependent model. Meanwhile, closely related to government power intervention, government-led industry characteristic. Therefore, these very damaging resources. This paper states the causes of urban decline northern from concept decline, analyzing influence social environment population, summarizing that cause...

Basic information and energy consumption data of 50 public buildings in Tianjin have been collected. According to the statistical results, 2016, total building area samples is 1582628.53 m2, power comprehensive 11562.91×104 kWh 41686.58 tce. The average per value 73.06 kWh/ (m2 ·a ) 26.34 kgce/ a ). function has obvious influence on consumption. Among office building, school hospital highest In addition function, type cooling heating source, construction structure performance envelope effect

Given continued improvement in the thermal performance of building envelopes, interior disturbances caused by occupant behavior now have greatest impact on loads and energy consumption. The accurate calculation load during design stage was emphasized this paper, a new method proposed. Indoor occupants were considered as core disturbances, relationship with other explored. heat release arbitrarily combined representative cooling to be utilized calculation. Field surveys conducted three...

Increasing public awareness of energy-saving by energy policy is an important way achieving sustainable development. This paper establishes indicator system to measure the Chinese residents, uses multiple linear regression method analyze which would affect most significantly and finally gets conclusion that policies making laws, conducting propaganda improving residents’ education level has a significant impact on raising energy-saving, increasing price resource, offering subsidies,...

With the expanding of city scale, energy have become increasingly strained. The outbreak crisis and environmental problem restricts development seriously, urban internet emerges as times require. It combines in (such coal, oil, natural gas, wind, solar, electricity other kinds energy) through efficient conversion close integration power grid network, traffic network gas network. From point development, electricity-centric model is built. planning operating, key technologies for construction...

AbstractOccupant behavior, encompassing occupant numbers and actions, significantly contributes to the uncertainty of building energy performance simulation. By characterizing regularity it becomes feasible evaluate its impact on consumption mitigate disparities between simulated measured outcomes. This paper presents a comprehensive model that integrates two key aspects behavior predict simulate in campus buildings. The introduces distinct categories equipment, namely environment-related...
