Decoding digital transformational outsourcing: The role of service providers’ capabilities

The business process outsourcing industry has got disrupted, first by the significant shift in value creation activities from the clients to the service providers, and second by pervasive digital penetration, resulting in the emergence of Digital Transformational Outsourcing (DTO). Service providers now play a more significant role, making their capabilities important. In the new context, service providers require a uniquely different set of dynamic capabilities to handle end-to-end business functions on behalf of their clients while delivering digital value propositions.We study 26 of the largest global business process outsourcing providers to conceptualise and identify six dynamic capabilities of service providers salient in the new context, i.e., consultative, orchestration, insights, network management, knowledge access, and standardisation. Interviews conducted with industry experts provided evidence in support of the identified dynamic capabilities. A novel firm capability dataset was created using secondary data, and using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we identify configurations for high and low performance and find them to vary by the firm's broad/narrow scope.     

Cross-company customer churn prediction in telecommunication: A comparison of data transformation methods

Cross-Company Churn Prediction (CCCP) is a domain of research where one company (target) is lacking enough data and can use data from another company (source) to predict customer churn successfully. To support CCCP, the cross-company data is usually transformed to a set of similar normal distribution of target company data prior to building a CCCP model. However, it is still unclear which data transformation method is most effective in CCCP. Also, the impact of data transformation methods on CCCP model performance using different classifiers have not been comprehensively explored in the telecommunication sector. In this study, we devised a model for CCCP using data transformation methods (i.e., log, z-score, rank and box-cox) and presented not only an extensive comparison to validate the impact of these transformation methods in CCCP, but also evaluated the performance of underlying baseline classifiers (i.e., Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Gradient Boosted Tree (GBT), Single Rule Induction (SRI) and Deep learner Neural net (DP)) for customer churn prediction in telecommunication sector using the above mentioned data transformation methods. We performed experiments on publicly available datasets related to the telecommunication sector. The results demonstrated that most of the data transformation methods (e.g., log, rank, and box-cox) improve the performance of CCCP significantly. However, the Z-Score data transformation method could not achieve better results as compared to the rest of the data transformation methods in this study. Moreover, it is also investigated that the CCCP model based on NB outperform on transformed data and DP, KNN and GBT performed on the average, while SRI classifier did not show significant results in term of the commonly used evaluation measures (i.e., probability of detection, probability of false alarm, area under the curve and g-mean).

论大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动的协调发展

体育与竞技运动是两个不同的概念 ,两者都有普及与提高的问题 ,精英竞技运动的发展不是建立在大众体育和学校体育的基础之上的 ,其发展的基础是竞技运动在全社会的普及。传统的认识存在许多缺陷 ,导致在实践中产生很多偏差。讨论了大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动的异同 ,分析了西方国家管理与发展竞技运动的模式、中国发展竞技运动成功的经验及存在的问题 ,说明了应如何理解所谓大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动协调发展的问题 ,最后从 5个方面探讨了大众竞技运动与精英竞技运动协调发展的基本对策。

对我国近现代学校武术内容及活动变迁过程的研究

采用文献资料的方法,综合考察我国近现代学校武术百年发展历程.研究认为:1)近代学校武术是在古代学校武术的基础上发展起来的,这与当时的历史背景和教育需要是分不开的;2)近代学校武术的发展首先是来自于"土洋之争","尚武精神"在学校得到捍卫,但是武术教学情况发展很不平衡,武术师资经历了聘请到培养的过程;3)现代学校武术向着规范化方向发展,体育院校武术教育不断扩展,各地武术馆校层出不穷;4)近现代学校武术的发展给我们的启示:东西文化的撞击使学校武术得到了新发展;学校武术的发展需要有长远的规划作保障;学校武术水平的提高是以师资力量为基础.
