Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluation model to determine the relative weights of key factors influencing international market development (IMD) success through analysis network process (ANP) during group decision-making. An empirical case of the Taiwan bulk shipping industry is used to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. Design/methodology/approach The literature review is performed to generate 20 key success factors (KSFs) along with four factor categories in IMD (such as organizational capability, environmental scanning, international strategy and internationalization behavior). Then, ANP is applied to develop an evaluation model that prioritizes the relative importance linking the above four factor categories with 20 evaluated KSFs. Findings With respect to the final weights for factor categories, “international strategy” and “environmental scanning” are the two most important criteria, followed by “organizational capability” and “internationalization behavior”. The results also showed that by reviewing the global weights of the 20 KSFs of IMD, “service as competitive advantage”, “market potential” and “risk taking” have the highest rankings. Practical implications The findings indicate that firm expansion into international markets typically depends on a successful international strategy. Hence, to enhance their global market competitiveness, Taiwan bulk shipping firms should focus their efforts on planning international market entry strategy and prioritizing shipping services with high-potential target markets. Originality/value Theoretically, the study results can provide both theoretical basis and empirical evidence, indicating the relative weights and priorities of KSFs of IMD for the Taiwan bulk shipping industry. From the managerial perspective, the analytical results can help managers focus on main factors and identify the best policy to improve their IMD practice and performance.

Allocating the operations of multinational enterprises to geographic locations where performance can be optimized has become an important strategic issue. In view of the continuing growth of international trade and foreign direct investment, managers need systematic procedures to determine global allocation strategies. Available frameworks on global business strategy are typically abstract and generalized, making them less suited for the development of tailor‐made allocation strategies. Quantitative allocation models in operations research tend to be biased towards optimizing mathematical algorithms, making them less suited to support managerial decision making. This paper bridges the gap between generic strategy frameworks and highly quantitative operations research models by presenting a scanning tool to support decision making on strategic allocation issues. An important feature of this tool is to systematically filter available data, intended to quality and quantify critical product, process and market characteristics for specific product classes. The scanning tool has been applied in two cases, involving allocation decisions of a European multinational in the fast moving consumer goods industry.

Full textAbstract:
Global design and manufacturing of the materials with superb properties remain one of the greatest challenges on the market. The future progress is orientated towards researches into the material development for the production of composites of better mechanical properties to the existing materials. In the field of advanced composites, epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) have attained dominance among the common materials due to their excellent properties that can be altered by adding different fillers. One of the main fillers is often based on silicon dioxide (SiO2). The concept of this study was to evaluate the effects of the selected silica-based fillers on the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of EMCs. Various types of fillers with SiO2, including crystalline silica and fused silica, were experimentally studied to clarify the impact of filler on final product. Fillers with different shape (scanning electron microscope, SEM), along with different specific surface area (specific surface area analyzer, BET method) and different chemical structure, were tested to explore their modifications on the EMCs. The influence of the fillers on the compound materials was determined with the spiral flow length (spiral flow test, EMMI), glass transition temperature (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC), and the viscosity (Torque Rheometer) of the composites.

Today globalization turned the world into a global village where event in one region transmits to others almost immediately. Communication technology has played big role and transformed many aspects of business; Internet is one of most important technology which has created e-commerce and a global digital economy with new opportunities. Social media such as websites Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest have already demonstrated their potential for getting information also mobile technology have a lot of potential for gathering information. In spite of environmental turbulence, organizations must effectively depend on scanning environment and useful communication technology for operations and survival. It is crucial for every company to analyze strengths and weaknesses of the internal and external environment to enable the business sustain and growth. Both internal and external environmental scanning is important to be conducted but basically internal scanning will be done first as it will be the ground analysis to determine further direction of an organization. Increasing risk of error, failure to analyze environment included strength and weaknesses internally, opportunities and threats externally, and inefficient of communication technology may resulting to unsustainable the business in long term. Additionally a growing number of companies in Jeddah city led to the business competition between companies that increasingly tight and competitive. This paper sought the place of environmental scanning and role of communication technology as a way for providing information helpfully and as a means of business survival and sustainable competitive advantage. In this study we will focus on Suppliers who deal with sanitary ware (Bathtub) in Jeddah city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mostly people in Jeddah City prefer to purchase from various outlets vendors / retailers who are available usually in same area, according to their convenience, preference and selection. Increases in expectations and changing culinary style of consumers make the Sanitary Ware (Bathtub) business dynamic in general. Despite the increasing interest in the area there are very little researches on sustainable competitive advantage of sanitary ware vending service in our domestic market. Keeping these conditions in view, this study tries to explore the current scenario in which Sanitary Ware (Bathtub) has become a flourishing business for a lot of Suppliers as it has been successful in attracting a large mass of customers and projects.This study analyses environmental scanning and communication technology as a gate for sustainable competitive advantage of sanitary ware (Bathtub) in Jeddah city. The data analysis was based on 108 retailers who purchase bathtub sanitary ware from sanitary ware suppliers companies in Jeddah city, the data analysis was based on multivariate statistical techniques encompassing Factor analysis to test reliability, Percentage and frequency, descriptive analysis to describe the sample, multiple linear regressions via using SPSS analysis software. It identifies the most relevant understanding of environmental scanning and role of communication technology as agate for sustainable competitive advantage, and determines their influence in choosing of sanitary ware outlets. The results show that as environmental scanning and communication technologies (independent variables) have a positive influence on sustainable competitive advantage (dependent variable) of bathtub sanitary ware suppliers in Jeddah city.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply Foresight methodology to the area of nanotechnologies and new materials within the framework of Russian S&T Foresight 2030 aimed at revelation of major trends, most promising products and technologies. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this goal, best international practice was analyzed that provided a solid basis for Russian S&T Foresight 2030 (section “Nanotechnology and new materials”). The study used a wide range of advanced Foresight methods adapted to Russian circumstances. During the Foresight study, the authors integrated “market pull” and research “technology push” approaches including both traditional methods (priority-setting, roadmaps, global challenges analysis) and relatively new approaches (horizon scanning, weak signals, wild cards, etc.). Findings Using the methods of the Foresight, the authors identified trends with the greatest impact on the sphere of nanotechnology and new materials, promising markets, product groups and potential areas of demand for Russian innovation technologies and developments in this field. The authors assessed the state-of-the-art of the domestic research in the area of nanotechnologies and new materials to identify “white spots”, as well as parity zone and leadership, which can be the basis for integration into international alliances and positioning of Russia as a center of global technological development in this field. Originality/value The results of applying Foresight methodology toward revelation of the most prospective S&T areas in the field of nanotechnologies and new materials can be used by a variety of stakeholders including federal and regional authorities, technology platforms and innovation and industrial clusters, leading universities and scientific organizations in formulation of their research and strategic agenda. Russian businesses including both large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises can use results of the study in creating their strategic R&D programs and finding appropriate partners.

The paper aims to provide an overview of the major opportunities and challenges of the fourth phase of globalization in the current macro scenario characterized by a high level of economic and geopolitical complexity and uncertainty. The assumptions and results reported in this work are based mostly on the judgmental opinion of the author and on his critical analysis of macroeconomic data and global trends. The author of the paper is a seasoned chief economic advisor and professor of global economics and disruptive innovation. Forecasting global market trends and future scenarios in a highly unpredictable business environment is always a complex task which cannot be undertaken simply relying on quantitative research techniques based on historical datasets since the past is not always a good predictor of future events. The qualitative approach adopted for this research is based on multiple forms of data sources and the following activities: (1) identification of the key forces and trends in the environment (i.e. environmental scanning); (2) assessing the driving forces and trends by importance and uncertainty; (3) envisioning potential alternative scenarios; and (4) assessing the potential implications of each trend and scenario. The result of this analysis confirms the central role that technological development is likely to have in the near future as a major driver of disruptive change in the economic and social models of many countries and leads to the conclusion that the groundbreaking and disruptive innovations of the future should be perceived as a potential opportunity and not just as a threat by stakeholders in the international community.

Full textAbstract:
Product optimization for casting and post-casting manufacturing processes is becoming compulsory to compete in the current global manufacturing scenario. Casting design, simulation and verification tools are becoming crucial for eliminating oversized dimensions without affecting the casting component functionality. Thus, material and production costs decrease to maintain the foundry process profitable on the large-scale component supplier market. New measurement methods, such as dense matching techniques, rely on surface texture of casting parts to enable the 3D dense reconstruction of surface points without the need of an active light source as usually applied with 3D scanning optical sensors. This paper presents the accuracy evaluation of dense matching based approaches for casting part verification. It compares the accuracy obtained by dense matching technique with already certified and validated optical measuring methods. This uncertainty evaluation exercise considers both artificial targets and key natural points to quantify the possibilities and scope of each approximation. Obtained results, for both lab and workshop conditions, show that this image data processing procedure is fit for purpose to fulfill the required measurement tolerances for casting part manufacturing processes.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in biobased polymers from renewable resources has grown in recent years due to environmental concerns, but they still have a minimal fraction of the total global market. In this study, the injection molding of thermoplastic cellulose octanate (cellulose C8) and cellulose palmitate (cellulose C16) were studied. The mechanical properties of injection-molded test specimens were analyzed by using tensile testing, and the internal structure of injection-molded objects was studied by using a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). We showed that thermoplastic cellulose C8 and cellulose C16 were completely processable without the addition of a plasticizer, which is very unusual in the case of cellulose esters. The compatibility of cellulose esters with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and biopolyethylene (bio-PE) was also tested. By compounding the cellulose esters with PLA, the elongation of PLA-based blends could be improved and the density could be reduced. The tested thermoplastic cellulose materials were fully biobased, and have good future potential to be used in injection molding applications.

Full textAbstract:
The object of this research was to develop an international market screening methodology which selects highly attractive markets, allowing for the ranges in diversity amongst organisations, countries and products. Conventional business thought is that, every two to five years, dynamic organisations which conduct business internationally should decide which additional foreign market or markets to next enter. If they are internationally inexperienced, this will be their first market; if they are experienced, it might be, say, their 100th market. How should each organisation select their next international market? One previous attempt has been made to quantitatively test which decision variables, and what weights, should be used when choosing between the 230 countries of the world. The literature indicate that a well-informed selection decision could consider over 150 variables that measure aspects of each foreign market's economic, political, legal, cultural, technical and physical environments. Additionally, attributes of the organisation have not been considered when selecting the most attractive short-list of markets. The findings presented in the dissertation are that 30 criteria accounted for 95 per cent of variance at cross-classification rates of 95 per cent. The weights of each variable, and the markets selected statistically as being the most attractive, were found to vary with the capabilities, goals and values of the organisation. This frequently means that different countries will be best for different organisations selling the same product. A

International business communities will not automatically accept the tenets of a foreign nation's business ideals. It is imperative for business owners to truly understand the environment that they wish to communicate their business efforts to in an effort to garner consumers. Through market research strategies like environmental scanning and descriptive research, companies can better understand their potential customer base and build strategies towards gaining market share. Business leaders must strategize the systems used and tailor their efforts to specific audiences. Communities are different and global market strategies should differ as well according to audience. In this book, readers will learn the fundamentals of global market research and its relationship to the business-to-consumer market while gaining access to a number of resources.

Raza, Gauhar. "Precariat: narrow definition, discourse and reality." In Savoirs de la Précarité / knowledge from precarity, 249–57. Editions des archives contemporaines, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.17184/eac.3342.
Full textAbstract:
The discourse initiated by Guy Standing, on the ‘Precariat’, a few years back, was embedded in economic debates on ‘class’. He, in the preface of his book ‘The Precariate: The new Dangerous Class’, wrote that Precariat is a class in making (Standing G, 2011). He uses the word ‘Class’ in the Marxian sense. He suggests that the neoliberalism agenda embraced by almost all countries, to a greater or lesser extent, deliberately shifted the burden of ‘risk’ and ‘insecurity’ on to the ‘working class and their families’. As a result millions of workers were pushed into the brutal market without ‘an anchor of stability’. Standing goes on to, dramatically, warn politicians and civil society that ‘There is a danger that, unless the precariat is understood, its emergence could lead society towards a politics of inferno.’ He further adds that this class is global, angry and anxious, and ‘prone to listen to ugly voices, and use their vote and money to give those voices a political platform of increasing influence’.Marxist scholars reacted sharply. For example Eric Olin Wright, presented ‘a Marxist critique of this reconceptualization on two principle grounds: first, that the material interests of people in the precariat and in the working class are not sufficiently opposed to each other for these to constitute two distinct classes; and second, that across the various segments of the precariat the optimal strategies for securing a livelihood are not sufficiently unified for the precariat as a whole to constitute a class. ----In the case of the precariat, the different segments identified by Standing have sharply different strategies of survival and advancement.’ And thus, he concluded, there is no separate class, which can be categorized as ‘Precariate’. Those who have faced the burden of recent global economic disasters, and were pushed towards the base of a pecuniary pyramid can be designated as ‘proletariat class’, at the best, depending upon their class consciousness and interest. The debate plunged into a terrain which focused on whether there is an emerging class, that too global in nature, which has common interest and enough cementing factors to represent common and universal class interest and consciousness, or not. Though the debate is yet to resolve major issues hovering around economic categories and their relationship with social and cultural factors, it cannot be denied that manmade and natural disasters often put sections of humanity into ‘precarious’ condition. Citizens, collectively and individually respond to a given ‘precarity’ in varied ways.This paper, while scanning the debate on ‘precariat’ attempts to develop a broad framework for examining the causes and nature of precarity, enlarges its definition, discusses sources, target populations, modes of operation through which precarity is introduced in any society and levels at which precarity operates. The article aims to scrutinize as to how, when the power balance is disturbed in society, ruling classes use physical force as an instrument of spreading fear among the agents of change. The article also makes an attempt to reflect on how the intellectuals, scientists, science communicators and journalist under the shadow of ‘fascistic regimes’ are pushed to the realm of ‘precarity’ and freedom of expression is threatened. The last section of the article gives some concrete examples of how ‘precariat’ responds to situations of precarity and tries to build broad alliances to resist the causal forces

This paper presents the characterization studies conducted by Milwaukee School of Engineering senior undergraduate students in South Africa under the Research Experiences for Undergraduates grant EEC-1460183 sponsored by the National Science Foundation (Principal Investigator Dr. Kumpaty). Robert Mueller and Christopher Reynolds conducted research in summer of 2015 under advisement of Dr. Kumpaty and his South African collaborators, Dr. Esther Akinlabi and Dr. Sisa Pityana. The foreign collaborators’ excellent support was pivotal to the success of our U.S. students. Ti-6 Al-4 V is a titanium alloy that accounts for about 80% of the titanium market. The Ti-64 alloy contains 6 wt% Aluminum and 4 wt% Vanadium, an almost equal ratio of α + β phases. Through the laser surface modification process known as Laser Meal Deposition, this alloy offers the optimum combination of enhanced properties. This research focuses on the application of adding a combination of molybdenum (Mo) and Ti-64 powders to a Ti-64 substrate surface in order to improve the durability for various biomedical/aerospace applications. Deposition of the powders was completed at the CSIR - National Laser Center, in Pretoria, South Africa. The characterization studies were carried out at the University of Johannesburg. The results of the hardness tests showed that the addition of molybdenum to Ti-64 increased the hardness of the deposited material compared to that of the substrate. This verifies that the addition of Mo to metals can affect the mechanical properties to better suit various applications. While Robert Mueller studied the effect of laser power on the properties of laser metal deposited Ti-6Al-4V + Mo for wear resistance enhancement, Christopher Reynolds investigated scanning velocity influence on the evolving properties of laser metal deposited Ti-6Al-4V + Mo. The results of this promising research and various options for further investigation are presented. The beneficial value of such a global research enterprise on the budding engineers will be apparent and the paper details the process of the international component of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates.

The up-to-date and true information is one of the most important items of a business, mainly when this business acts in international markets due to the participation of international Companies. TRANSPETRO, integral subsidiary of PETROBRAS, is the Brazilian operator for the great majority of pipelines of petroleum and natural gas in Brazil, built among the years of 1951 and 2001. Fifty years of pipeline history are registered in the most different formats and media ways. This situation generated difficulties to access the information and consequently it provoked the occurrence of lacks of information. The most serious problems were observed in the moment of retrieving the information about the location of the old pipelines when the implantations of new ones are required or in the case of an emergency intervention. Investments of US$ 15 million (2001/2002) were accomplished by mapping (orthophotos), detailed drawings with as-built status and profiles, installed equipment (valves etc), geodesic network with high precision points with GPS coordinates (Global Positioning System), new register of land-owners of the right-of-way, users and operators training, data distribution in the Company network (Intranet) in GIS format — Geographical Information System, formed an alliance with the WEB Mapping. For the execution of the activities several technologies were used, including airborne sensors (laser scanning and aerial photos). Now, a database with high degree of precision can be accessed by the users with images of high definition, to verify information of the installed equipment and to do the planning of amplifications of the system or maintenance, resulting in larger operational reliability of the pipelines.

The hereby presented research, funded by the restricted grant LIDER, NCBiR, deals, in part, with the identification of the full implementation potential of the proposed optical measurement techniques in determination of surface flatness parameters, and their comparative assessment. The test methods included the photogrammetric measurement technique (TRITOP, GOM) and the structural light scanning approach (scanner ATOS, GOM), while the CMM measurement (DEA Global Image Clima) was the reference method. The accordingly designed and assembled experimental test stand comprised 2 steel plates. The test surfaces of the plates were appropriately ground; subsequently, the entire test stand was blackened to ascertain efficient optical scanning. Furthermore, the plates were connected by means of 8 screws, thus introducing considerable distortion. A measurement area of 140 × 240 mm was defined on the plate test surface, as determined by CMM, denoting 15 measurement paths of 240 mm in length, distributed every 10 mm, and characterized by measurement point densities of 1, 5, and 20 pt/mm. The reference CMM measurements were conducted on 3 consecutive days at different times (22 measurements in total) to exclude any possible surface modifications. Subsequently, optical scanning was applied and the measurement points lying at the cross-sections of the CMM measurement paths were isolated from the obtained polygon mesh. To further apply the photogrammetric method, the test surface was labeled with markers distributed every 10 mm and coinciding with the CMM measurement paths. Comparative analysis of the flatness parameter for the selected CMM measurement and the measurement values obtained by means of the tested optical methods included: - the entire measurement area, - the sections comprising 80, 60, 50, 45, 40, 30, 20, 15, and 10 % of the entire measurement area, decreasing centrically, - the measurement sub-areas of 30 × 50 mm allotted in the corners and in the center of the test plate. The photogrammetric error of the tested parameter was established at 1.26–19.82 %, depending on the size of the measurement area. The corresponding error value, as determined by the structural light scanning technique, amounted to 0.03–4.31 %.
