The enterprise culture: an acquired taste? by Gray, Colin W. J. A.

“…Economically, most human economic activity is seen as bounded and determined by the socio-economic structures in which groups of people find themselves at any given time and place. Sociologically, different groups of people share common attitudes, cultural assumptions and social representations of work in general and different occupations in particular, largely determined by their economic and historic circumstances. …”

Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”
