“…Therefore, adequate attention to these dimensions can ensure the agility of hospital supply chains. Many studies corroborate the findings of this study [18,26,34,60,61]. "Knowledge management" obtained the rank zero in the final prioritization, something which is consistent with the findings of ISM.…”

“…Many studies have corroborated the major role that IT plays in SCM practices [58,59]. That is why many studies on the healthcare supply chain have focused on the role of e-commerce technologies in hospital SCM [60]. Consistent with the findings of this study, Vafaei et al showed that computerbased technologies, flexibility, relationships with suppliers, application of modern technologies, partnerships, market sensitivity, and demand response were the seven variables that affected the hospital SCM agility and brought competitive advantages for hospitals and medical centers [61].…”

Background: Hospital supply chain management (SCM) agility requires finding the main and effective dimensions, prioritizing, communicating between them and analyzing these dimensions in relation to each other. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify different dimensions of the hospital SCM agility, proposing a model of the hospital SCM agility and determining the relationships between dimensions of agility, and prioritizing, analyzing, and interpreting dimensions of the hospital SCM agility. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on the physicians, nurses and staff working at public hospitals affiliated to Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Delphi technique was used to determine the dimensions of agility, interpretive-structural modeling approach was used for analysis. Network analysis was used to prioritize the dimensions of agility Results:‌ In the literature review 16 dimensions of agility were identified. The final model of agile supply chain management has 8 levels; cost reduction placed at the highest level and organizational leadership commitment was at the lowest level. Cost reduction dimensions were the highest priority and organizational culture was the lowest priority in the final network analysis. Conclusion: Agile supply chain management has very important and complex elements. Neglecting to monitor their changes can cause irreparable and profound damage to the medical sector. Interpretive-structural approach and network analysis create a constructive and effective method to model, analyze, and prioritize the dimensions of agile supply chain management.

“…While almost no previous research studies have been published in the area of developing individuals' capacity to teach English as a second language (ESL), a few context-specific evaluation studies do exist (de Dios Martinez Agudo, 2017). Specifically, we reviewed other evaluations of other teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) training methods (Aliakbari & Ghoreyshi, 2013;de Dios Martinez Agudo, 2017;Karimnia & Kay, 2015), workplace learning methods (Kennedy, 2006;Manuti, Pastore, Scardigno, Giancaspro, & Morciano, 2015), and the evolution of ESL educational technology teaching strategies (Nomass, 2013). We drew upon Karakas's (2012) descriptions of the main components of TEFL, which include linguistic competence, pedagogy, and general teaching practices, to guide some of the evaluation item design.…”

A systematic evaluation process helps performance improvement practitioners organize their work with clients to deliver valued results. Further, we implemented a strategic partnership approach to solicit client participation to conduct a feasible systemic training evaluation project. In this article, we share our experience and recommendations for performance improvement practitioners who work in cross‐cultural evaluation‐project contexts.
