The open sample was distributed to 562 mobile health application users and 527 were returned implying a 94% response rate. Statistical processing was implemented to answer research questions and test the research hypotheses. The results showed that system quality, information quality, ease of use, usefulness, entertainment, and social Influence have a statistically significant effects on the intention to use mobile health applications. The results show moderating factors that influence the intention to use MHAs packages. Moderating factors include Information quality, Usefulness, Ease of use and Social Influence. Factors that did not moderate include System Quality and Entertainment.

For the Santa Clara outlet of Tritan Stores in Silicon Valley, a store dedicated to industrial supply sales, the warning lights turned on in January 2020. Consumption of masks, overalls and gloves skyrocketed. From the beginning of the pandemic to the present date, the branch continues working to satisfy customer needs, especially for the health and government sectors. Before the pandemic, the store worked with open doors and self-service. Now the sales agents absorbed those tasks and customers experience involves increased waiting time. This article presents five essential points that retail stores need to evaluate, to insure a safer and dynamic environment for employees and customers during thepandemic. We use sales data extracted from financial systems as a reference, to identify sales patterns, customer type and product’s rotation. We conduct a motion study ich allowed us to identify one bottleneck and two risks. The goal of this research is to set a precedent on how to manage activities of retail stores during pandemics. The new reality changes the store's vision. “And change is the only constant” Heraclitus 500 B.C.

The paper aims to understand whether AI solutions are perceived to have a positive impact on patient care and the clinician’ work, and which factors affects the adoption of AI in healthcare. The paper draws upon key concepts of TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), adopting an exploratory approach. Semi-structured interviews with 22 clinicians from the NHS (the National Health System, in the United Kingdom) reveal that they perceive the usefulness of AI for healthcare (better efficiency, healthcare quality, and diagnostic accuracy). However, respondents point out factors which affect the way they perceive the ease of use of AI, such as the difficulty to integrate the technology within healthcare systems (low compatibility) and to understand the technology (high complexity), concerns with ethical issues, and the need to have intensive training on digital skills.

For the analysis, we consider variables perceived as critical for a successful recovery including competencies (skills) needed for an economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, training requirements necessary to be competitive, available infrastructure and human capital. We conducted a non-experimental trans-sectional study using data from a survey of 1,530 business and economic college students. The results show that students consider they do not have the infrastructure and human capital to face economic recovery post-pandemic. The study concludes that investment of higher education institutions should focus on infrastructure, training, and skill development in areas such digital and technology for a successful economic and social recovery after the pandemic Classification-JEL: I2, I23, I25 Keywords: COVID-19, Higher Education, Economic-Administrative, Recovery Journal: Global Journal of Business Research Pages: 89-98 Volume: 15 Issue: 1 Year: 2021 File-URL: http://www.theibfr2.com/RePEc/ibf/gjbres/gjbr-v15n1-2021/GJBR -V15N1-2021-5.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:ibf:gjbres:v:15:y:2021:i:1:p:89-98 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Shih-Nien Lee Author-Name: Tzu-Ching Weng Author-Name: Yu-Ling Peng Title: A COMPARISON OF HOSPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES UNDER SARS AND COVID-19 Abstract: This study explores the methods of hospitals use in taking to implement response measures from the perspective of epidemic crisis management. We analyze the practical experience of each hospital, the crisis situation, the countermeasures, and the review of the hospital’s rehabilitation methods. This research utilizes a case study method. Interviews, internal hospital file data, and related journal articles and media reports are the main sources of research data. This research explores organizational behavior of the hospital and the strategic emergency points that it showed in the face of crisis. We examine the transformative leadership style uses timely and application-oriented management. We observe that implementation of epidemic prevention measures and response methods have gradually embarked on the right path from chaos. Faced with a shortage of antiepidemic materials, hospitals have been working hard to deal with risk management. Based on these findings, this research provides some policy implications for hospitals to mobilize and respond to similar viral diseases in the future.
