Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contingency effects that contextual factors of a networked service environment have on the phased Lean Six Sigma (LSS) implementation frameworks. Design/methodology/approach: This paper employs the critical realism (CR) case study...

The SBWBAMS (Scanned Binary Image Watermarking Based on Additive Model and Sampling) algorithm proposed by Hou et al. owns strong robustness to the process of printing and scanning process. However, because the embedding strength used in the algorithm is set artificially, watermark information...

There has been a fast-growing demand for cybersecurity professionals to defend cyber space and information systems. With more and more programs and course offerings in cybersecurity popping up in higher education, it is important to have a consistent and reliable quality standard to guide and...

In this article, a type of bivariate rational interpolation function is constructed for preserving image texture structure, which integrates polynomial functions with a rational function. On the basis of this model, an image interpolation algorithm for texture preserving is proposed. First, an...

Purpose: With the advent of the intelligent environment, as novice researchers, graduate students face digital challenges in their research topic selection (RTS). The purpose of this paper is to explore their cognitive processes during data-driven decision making (DDDM) in RTS, thus developing...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the antecedents and consequences of the perceived usefulness (PU) of travel review websites. Design/methodology/approach: An integrated model was proposed and 199 valid data were collected via a questionnaire survey from an online travel...
