No full textDesigning Recovery Strategy in Managing Supply Chain Risks from Natural Disasters and COVID-19 Pandemic for Indonesian NGOs
No full textThe crisis between handling the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters has been a significant threat worldwide, especially for developing countries like Indonesia. The activities of the humanitarian aid supply chain when a natural disaster occurs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, have several unmanaged risks. This study specifically identifies risks that occur in the supply chain of humanitarian aid for disaster victims from Humanitarian NGOs in Aceh province. This study uses case-study-based research with mixed methods, where quantitative analysis is used to analyze prioritized risks, and qualitative research is used to create the framework of recovery strategies. The identification of possible risks is made using literature review, several news articles evaluation, and discussions with experts. The results show that there are 35 risk events and 30 risk agents identified in the humanitarian aid supply
chain for disaster victims in Aceh during COVID-19 Pandemic. From the Pareto diagram, there are three risk agents identified with the highest Aggregated Potential Risk (APR) value. They are Natural
Conditions, Health, and Changes in Department policies. The recovery strategies are built in the form of an AURA framework for a long-term perspective's solution. These recovery strategies are expected
to be used not only for COVID-19 threats but also for other long-term disruptions or crises that might
occur in the future

No full textChallenges and Opportunities of the Alfajor’s internationalisation into Brazil
No full textThe Alfajor is an Argentine delicacy that shows no limits in its development in the country and abroad. Over the last 140 years, it has managed to conquer the palates of Argentines, Paraguayans, Uruguayans and Chileans as a sweet snack or dessert. Because of this outstanding development, the product captured the interest of Brazilian tourists, who incepted the Alfajor in this vast South-American country. Nowadays, several local and imported Alfajores are commercialised
through this new market. Still, many Brazilians have not heard of the product yet, and there are further challenges that Alfajor companies must overcome in their internationalisation process. This work explores these challenges based on the Uppsala Model, explaining how an intermediary can help overcome the Liability of Outsidership. Moreover, an Alfajor’s Psychic Distance Scale is elaborated to
measure the Liability of Foreignness and how the Food Culture Distance with Brazil can harden the introduction of this product in an unfamiliar market
Proposal of a combined model of renewable energy and electromobility, as factors, to accelerate the change and improvement in the Energy Matrix of the Electrical Interconnection System of the Central American Countries.
Get PDFThe Central American countries made up of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama have shared a common electrical network for nine years through an agreement called the Electrical Interconnection System for Central American countries (SIEPAC). This regional project has generated many benefits for the consumers of each country since there are agreements and regulations, the establishment of a regional energy market, cost reduction, and incentives for renewable generation. However, SIEPAC's energy matrix has not managed to improve its diversification and has difficulties in accelerating and substantially increasing renewable energy options. The analysis indicates that considering some isolated efforts in the field of electromobility that some countries of the Central American region have carried out, it is feasible to connect or incorporate the topic of electromobility within the SIEPAC system, managing to accelerate the change in the Energy Matrix of the Electrical Interconnection System for Central American countries; Likewise, the challenges that must be overcome in the regulatory framework to materialize the expected benefits of the combined model of renewable energy and electromobility developed in this research are also indicated
The inequality of the global currency system and how it can be transformed toward an equitable system
No full textThe global currency system leads to unequal outcomes. This paper aims to
define the factors that make the dollar-dominated system unequal for
economically developing countries and looks at three suggestions on how to improve the system including Stiglitz’s global greenback, Ocampo’s SDR-based global currency, and Eichengreen’s tweaking of the edges
EffSET – EFFORT Self-Evalation Tool
No full textThe EFFORT Self-Evaluation Tool (EffSET) is a qualitative and quantitative instrument that was developed to enable Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and instructors to classify and analyse their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability-related courses and teaching concepts according to different criteria.
EffSET helps HEIs and instructors in classifying their teaching courses and teaching concepts by using "course-level criteria" which are embedded in the context of the whole institution. This is achieved by integrating additional criteria regarding the maturity of Social Responsibility (SR) and Sustainability integration in the HEI ("institution-level criteria"), enhancing self-evaluation, and providing indications on strategies and actions for improvement
