Sustainable Supply Chains and Digital Transformation
No full textThis book focuses on the impact of digitalization on supply chains and how it is affecting every aspect of people’s lives. It covers the operational changes that are happening in organizations due to the use of technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, smart sensors, electric vehicles, blockchain, AI, drones, smart factories, smart logistics, and smart warehouses. Additionally, it explores how digitalization is helping organizations achieve sustainability through methods like life cycle costing, carbon emission reduction, green supply chains, and recycling technologies.
Sustainable Supply Chains and Digital Transformation includes case studies, and exploratory studies utilizing quantitative analysis, scientific and qualitative studies to demonstrate how innovation and technology in supply chains contribute to business sustainability in emerging economies and the global economy and discusses the impact of digitalization on supply chains from both operational and sustainability perspectives

An empirical study to enquire the effectiveness of digital marketing in the challenging age with reference to Indian economy
No full textEveryday marketers are facing challenges and getting many new opportunities within
this digital age. Marketers are basically making use of electronic media to promote all
the goods and services into the market. One of the major challenges the marketer has to
deal with is to know how to persuade someone and how to come up with ways in order
to attract and retain prospective customers. The issue could easily be solved by making
or allowing customers to interact or talk about the brand through the use of digital media.
Through this research the researcher would be focusing and talking about the importance
of digital marketing for both customers and the marketers. This research is conducted to
understand why digital marketing is more effective than traditional media and what are
the major differences between digital and traditional media. The researcher made use of
primary and secondary data, and a close ended questionnaires, where a sample of 105
respondents were selected. The data was collected through Google forms and analysed
using the SPPS statistical tool to explore descriptive statistics like frequency, mean, standard
deviation as well as cross-tabs and inferential statistics, comprising regression analysis and
ANOVA. Secondary resources were used to
do review of literature through journals and
articles. This research will also show the
major factors that affect the effectiveness of
digital marketing in the era of digitisation,
where every marketer is opting for digital
marketing to promote his brand(s)
Enhancing Sustainability in Supply Chain Through Robotics
No full textEnvironmental responsibility is now a crucial aspect of modern industry. Embracing eco-consciousness in every aspect of the supply chain enhances organizational reputation and further legitimizes the organization. To improve supply chain sustainability, companies have also started implementing advanced technologies including robotics. Various research has been conducted on ways to adopt and integrate robotics in the automobile, electronic, and pharma industries. However, most of them focus on the technological impact of robotics in improving productivity and supply chain performance. In contrast, this study discusses the implications of robotics in making a sustainable supply chain. The study used narrative literature to review methodology and analyzed the application of robotics for sustainable supply chain management across industries. Also, this study presents how robotics technology is ideal for waste management and reverse logistics operations. The trends and gaps identified through this study allow us to develop a reasoned agenda to guide future technology-enabled sustainable supply chain measures. This study would be helpful for practitioners, policymakers, and academia working in robotics and automation of supply chain operations
Application of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods for the Underground Mining Method Selection
Get PDFIn mining, there are many complex problems that need to be solved in a limited period of time. When solving these complex tasks, it is necessary to take into account many parameters, all in order to determine the optimal solution for a given problem. The application of multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) is very widely used to solve such complex problems. One of the most complex problems in mining is the underground mining method selection. In order to choose the most appropriate method of mining excavation, it is necessary to take into account a large number of influential parameters according to which we will compare mining methods. This paper will discuss the problem of underground mining method selection using the EDAS method. Also, a comparison of the obtained results will be made for a specific example, when applying several methods for multi-criteria decision-making. After comparing the obtained results, the most suitable mining method for a specific example will be determined
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Business Model Innovation and Digital Transformation: A Way Forward
No full textThere has been a sea change in industrial operations since the advent of the “smart factory” and “Industry 4.0.” To describe the “integration of digital technologies into business processes,” a term known as “digitalization” is employed. To take advantage of digitization, they need to digitally alter their current business models. To make digital transformation possible, digital technologies are being applied across functional, organizational, and geographical boundaries. The objective of this chapter is to establish a business model framework for firms who want to digitally transform their businesses, as well as the theories of digitization, digitalization, digital transformation, and business model innovation. This study will aid in developing new tools to assist companies in digitally transforming current elements of their business models
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
