Planning in management: identifying alternative ways of improving performance toward best practices

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 1362-1384, March 2026.
Abstract Planning is an important part of the management of organizations, which deals with the setting of targets that guide the actions needed to improve performance. Decision making is at the essence of planning, as it involves the identification of alternative directions for improvement and the selection of a future course of action.

Behavioural tactics across thermal gradients align with partial morphological divergence in brook charr

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 359-376, February 2026.
Our study reveals that brook charr adopt distinct ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ behavioural tactics to balance foraging and thermal stress in stratified lakes. By linking fine‐scale thermal movements to morphology, we show how temperature‐driven habitat use promotes individual specialization and potential ecotypic divergence under climate change.

Fintech, Technology Spillover and TFP of Commercial Banks: Evidence From China

Bulletin of Economic Research, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 40-53, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article derives the theoretical relationship between Fintech and total factor productivity (TFP). In the empirical test, it calculates the TFP of 110 commercial banks in China from 2013 to 2020 using the non‐oriented DEA‐Malmquist index model. It then estimates the effects of Fintech on TFP using a dynamic panel SYSGMM model.

Malmquist Productivity Index with Grey Data

International Journal of Business and Management, 2015
Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) is widely used method to measure the productivity changes of Decision Making Units (DMUs) between two time periods. Although the conventional MPI requires accurate data, in many real life conditions the input and output data of DMUs usually involve uncertainty and only lower and upper bounds of data could be obtained.
