“…In fact, it is acknowledged that there is a relationship between a firm and the institutional environment in which it operates, as this latter shape the guiding principles of the company and the way it complies with external rules, norms, and values (Oliver, 1991). This applies to a context, like the China, where culture and other national characteristics play a relevant role in shaping business practices and affecting related performance (Adebanjo, Teh and Ahmed, 2017). Although research has indicated that weak institutional environments have an impact upon agricultural supply chains and their performance (Yeboah et al, 2014), the choice of Chinese manufacturers context may also provide an understanding of weak institutional environment and its association to supply chain risk to achieve better performance in China.…”

Purpose-This study explores the importance and impact of supply and manufacturing risk management upon business performance within the context of Chinese manufacturing supply chains. Design/Methodology/Approach-A two phased multi-method approach was adopted, which included a survey questionnaire to practitioners in Chinese manufacturing supply chains followed by semi-structured interviews. The findings included 103 valid survey responses complemented by six semi-structured interviews. Findings-The results indicate that in Chinese manufacturing context supply risk and manufacturing risk management are both vital for business performance. A high correlation between business and manufacturing risk management performance exists, however no significant impact of supplier dependency, systematic purchasing, maturity of production and supply chain, and human resources was found despite previously these elements being regarded as key influencers for supply and manufacturing risk management performance. The Chinese manufacturing supply chain indicated that elements such as the supplier and customer orientation, flexibility, manufacturing and supply risk highly connotes with business performance. Theoretical/Practical implications-In the current unpredictable and volatile business environment the competitiveness of manufacturing supply chains to a large extent depend on their ability to identify, assess and manage the manufacturing and supply risks. The findings of this study will assist supply chain managers in taking decision on manufacturing and supply risk management and reducing the uncertainty upon their business performance. Originality/value-The supply chain risk has been widely explored within the context of individual case studies, or standalone models focusing on either supply or manufacturing risk in supply chains, however to what extent this has been applicable to a wider context and its impact upon business process has not been explored. Hence, this study simultaneously has analysed manufacturing risk and supply risk and its impact upon Chinese manufacturing supply chains business performance. Moreover, this study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, which is often limited in this area. Finally, the institutional theory lens offers novel insights in better understanding the factors that can affect the impact of supply and manufacturing risk management upon business performance in those contexts, such as China, where the institutional aspect presents specific features.

“…Such analytical tools allow organizations to integrate analytical models into their business processes, supporting the design of business strategies and enhancing decision-making capabilities [26]. By applying advanced AI technologies such as ML and cognitive services against the data coming in from the manufacturing process, organizations get value-added insights into data.…”

The main goal of this article is to understand the potential learning applications based on AI technologies for health higher education students. We employed a Systematic Literature Review, contributing to explore to what extent AI technologies are currently influencing the Health learning processes in higher education and the skills developed during the learning path. The intent is to contribute to a more profound understanding of learning contexts, methodologies, technologies, and pedagogical processes with the application of AI technologies. The literature emphasizes that AI can be used to potentiate the learning process and the learning outcomes, especially in laboratory classes, and such contexts are still largely unstudied. To fulfil this gap, some practical applications based on AI technologies applied to health higher education studies were identified, highlighting AI's innovations and possible opportunities for health higher education.

“…For instance, since one of IJPR's aims is to publish research concerned with 'manufacturing strategy, policy formulation and evaluation' (Taylor and Francis Online 2018), there seems to be great potential for future research focused on inter-firm collaboration and competition via manufacturing strategy, organisation and capabilities (see, e.g. Adebanjo, Teh, and Ahmed 2018;Sarmiento, Whelan, and Thürer 2018) to find better balance between strategic, tactical and operational decisions (Meredith and Pilkington 2018). Despite this, IJPR's most frequent and recent topics remain more focused on operational contexts rather than strategic ones.…”

This paper studies the history of the International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) by analysing the topics that have received the most attention in each of the journal's publication years. Text mining exposed for scrutiny the most frequently mentioned and cited terms contained in the titles, abstracts and keywords of IJPR papers. Analyses suggest that the triad of scheduling/optimisation/simulation and supply-chain-related topics have been IJPR's mainstays, but valuable opportunities remain for relevant topics that have not yet been concurrently and frequently studied. Results also show that terms related to sustainability and risk management topics have gained recent relevance. In addition, IJPR appears to complement its modelling technique focus with empirical methodological approaches to provide a well-balanced perspective, since the 'case study' term is common. Finally, a linear relationship is found between the number of papers that have covered certain topics and the number of citations those topics have received, highlighting which topics had fewer or more citations than expected, given the number of papers that covered those topics. IJPR stands as one of the most prestigious and established journals in its field and the results from this study indicate the evolving interests of the field for over half a century.
