“…However, the methods by which social data are obtained, the use of a limited number of social indicators, and even the number of companies analyzed, which, in some cases, belong to a single country, might limit the applicability of previous studies [34]. To mitigate these concerns, we use both categorical and numerical variables that identify positive or negative social aspects of social information for a large sample of companies belonging to several countries or regions.…”

“…Previous literature also highlights that, although widely used, content analysis has certain limitations, particularly related to the finite number of social indicators considered by such studies. Studies have also noted the number of companies analyzed and single-country status as limitations [34]. To alleviate these concerns, researchers can employ other types of methods.…”

Interest is increasing in what information companies disclose regarding the social aspects of their operations. This research therefore develops an index to analyze the social disclosure of companies from various countries and geographical regions including Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States. Using categorical principal component analysis and partial triadic analysis, we build a numerical value for a specific social individual index by firm. Then, we analyze the extent to which this disclosure follows the Global Reporting Initiative 400 social standards, which became effective on 1 July 2018. In addition to considering geographical aspects, we also analyze social disclosure based on industry, which facilitates firms’ decision-making and policy formation in social disclosure.

“…Existing literatures with regard to the new concept of smart healthcare lack the perspective of sustainability, with most focusing on the unilateral construction of technology, society, environment and economy (Chang et al, 2018). Some scholars discuss the application and promotion of the IoT, cloud services, website platforms and other means of smart healthcare services from the perspective of technological innovation (Costa et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to apply information technologies such as big data, Internet of things (IoT), mobile internet, and so on to the healthcare industry. By analyzing the impact path of such high-techs on healthcare, it intends to propose an application system for the sustainable development of so called "smart healthcare". It identifies the influencing factors of smart healthcare from three different perspectives: society, economy and environment. It then constructs an indicator system containing 14 factors, and comprehensively analyzes the importance and dependence of the factors by using Fuzzy Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Interpretative Structural Modeling Method (ISM) based on a multilevel hierarchy model. Using the theoretical framework of scientific research methods, this paper reveals the hierarchical path of the sustainable development of the whole intelligent healthcare which starts from the social level, combines the social and economic levels to achieve the balanced development of benefits, and finally brings the benefits to the environmental level. Based on this finding, this paper develops a sustainable application system for intelligent medicine in three levels: government, enterprise and user. The development of the sustainable application system for smart healthcare can provide theoretical guidance for model application evaluation.

“…Medical risks and corporate risks usually correlate and affect each other. The increase in medical disputes is a serious problem for medical institutions, as they directly impact the financial management and sustainable operations of medical institutions (Chang et al 2018b). As the relevant business operators face revenue uncertainties and fierce competition, in order to reduce their medical errors and medical losses, they invest in functional training of their human resources, resulting in increased costs and reduced profits.…”

Medical disputes that result in medical compensation and losses affect the financial management and sustainable operational risks of enterprises. Employee training plays an important role in the sustainable growth of human resource management and also can help avoid any potential risks to enterprises’ operating revenue. Based on data of a company, this study’s model aims to establish a mathematical model to find the most suitable decision variables in order to provide decision-making analysis and judgment of a company’s individual economic behaviors. From the second-order differential modeling method, where the functional training time of the aesthetic medicine industry (including medical errors/dispute incidences, functional training costs, and medical benefits) links to a specific functional relationship, the optimal decision-making model and evaluation criteria for the proportion of this training time under the concept of sustainable management can be constructed. The method proposed herein reduces medical errors or disputes, strengthens risk and financial management, provides customers with the best service quality, and serves as the basis for decision-making evaluation of the maximum benefits of sustainable operations.
