Abstract:

Artists throughout the centuries have infused art their art with their ideological outlook in order to persuade, educate or shock target audiences. Typically, these ideologies, revolve around religious and political systems. However, they can also encompass unpopular and revolting subject matter that many people choose to avoid. I embrace this tactic in my art and cast myself in the role of social critic and propagandist.

I create art with the intent to shed light on the effects of greed, because it serves as a disastrous catalyst for numerous problems within our society. These problems are addressed in my sculptures and prints by focusing on issues relating to agribusiness and the use of animals in industry.

The general public is not exposed to sufficient information regarding these negative aspects. They include the annual abuse of billions of animals for human consumption, as well as for clothing and product testing. Environmental damage caused by feedlots and pesticides should be a major concern, but is often overlooked. People need information in order to make knowledgeable decisions concerning what they eat and what they feed their children.

Therefore, by avoiding the abstract and the esoteric, and by creating visually appealing and potentially educational art, it is my intent to interest and inform my audience. This kind of easily-readable, propagandistic art can shed light on these subjects and is one step toward reform. Art holds an extraordinary power when it comes to influencing the masses and can be used as an educational tool to ignite positive social change. Like an artistic Pied Piper, this body of work is intended to lead an audience down the road to moral and culinary enlightenment.

Abstract:

Biofuels have been used as an energy source for heating and cooking since the beginning of time. However, recent changes in the demand for energy, and in particular, renewable energy, have spurred the growth of liquid biofuel industries in developed countries. Many developing countries, including South Africa have the potential to produce biofuels with benefits extending into the economic and social spheres. Despite government commitments and targets, the South African biodiesel and bio-ethanol industries have stalled in the starting blocks. This research aims to assess the reasons why. South Africa does not have the climate to compete with Brazil in bio-ethanol production and the scope for bioethanol is limited by environmental factors. However our neighbours show significantly more promise in this area. Biodiesel production is more likely to be commercially viable due to the country’s ability to grow oil crops and the need for the by-products. Despite the availability of land for cultivation of energy crops, the required technology and suitable infrastructure, progress has been slow. Uncertainty, high risk and misdirected government interventions have hampered investment in the sector and those involved in biofuel projects are very negative about the government’s ability to stimulate the industry. Consequently, they are looking towards importing feedstock material and exporting the biofuel. This will create a limited number of jobs, but will be energy and carbon negative, and will not aid rural development. Currently there is no medium or large scale virgin oil to biofuel producer operating in the country and the start-up dates for projects are beyond 2013. The WVO biodiesel industry has grown rapidly in the last five years but is limited to small scale operators with limited benefit potential. With the exception of Brazil, other world leaders in biofuels are facing heavy criticism and the mechanisms used to initially boost the industry have very limited application in South Africa. The benefits of biofuel production in South Africa are plentiful and align well with social need and development goals.

Notman, David W. "An analysis of industry-specific effects in Scottish industry." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22528.

Abstract:

This thesis may be divided into three sections in line with the following objectives :- 1. to use panel data techniques to estimate a set of (net) industry-specific effects (ISEs) in profit for a number of Scottish industries. 2. to isolate and determine variables that may underlie the distribution of (net) industry-specific effects, 3. to respecify the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) Paradigm. The set of (net) ISEs in profit is obtained by estimating a succession of panel data models based on a Scottish industry dataset which maximises cross-industry heterogeneity (Chapter 3). These general covariance models (GCMs) for the Scottish industrial sector are composed of cross-industry structural variables and a set of industry-specific parameters (essentially a set of industry dummies). The variables that may be responsible for the set of (net) ISEs in profit form the second part of this research thesis. Included in this analysis are :- 1. business cycle factors (Chapter 4), 2. accounting measures and ratios (Chapter 5), 3. indigenous industry conduct (Chapter 6). The presence of business cycle factors - the notion that industries operate on different stages of the business cycle - are tested using industry-per-time period models. These models are analogous to general covariance models except that instead of industry-specific dummies, the dummies are denoted for both time interval and industry. Correlating accounting measures such as income gearing and the borrowing ratio with (net) ISEs is one method of testing the importance of this rich source of data. Here the thesis attempts to redress the bias in IO literature against the use of accounting datasets. Spatial factors also figure heavily in this thesis, with the likelihood that geographical market segmentation has links with industry profits. Finally, the role of indigenous industry conduct (firms playing games unconditioned by market structure) is considered as a possible determinant of (net) ISEs in profit.

Abstract:

Background: The manufacturing industry is diverting away from the one-size-fits-all mass manufacture towards more customized processes. With increasingly individualized consumer preferences and an intense competitive environment, food manufacturers are required to meet specific consumer demands with similar efficiency to those produced massively. Such market requirements are feasible with the technological advancements envisioned by Industry 4.0. The consequences of such are increased flexibility and mass customization in manufacturing which forces the food manufacturer towards its realization. The integration process, however, involves a comprehensive transformation that affects every aspect of the organization. This consequently imposes significant challenges upon the food manufacturing company. Purpose: The study aims to investigate the transformation process ensued by the food manufacturer for Industry 4.0. Consequently, a conceptual framework is developed detailing the application of Industry 4.0 in the food manufacturing industry. Method: An inductive qualitative approach, in combination with a multiple-case study, is pursued to address the formulated questions of research. Based on such, semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals representing three multinational food manufacturers. Further, a thematic analytical technique was adopted as means to identify similarities and patterns within the obtained data. The collected data was analyzed using thematic analysis through which the researchers came up with the conceptual framework. Conclusion: The results of the research reveal internal and external factors such as labor policies and IT infrastructure to influence the transformation process for Industry 4.0. In due to this, the implementation of the phenomenon occurs phase-wise, globally coordinated and regionally concentrated. This enables the organization to overcome the obstacles faced and, subsequently, ensure the successful deployment of Industry 4.0.

Abstract:

Den här C-uppsatsens mål är att undersöka om den trådlösa tekniken ZigBee är lämplig att använda i en industriell miljö. Arbetet med uppsatsen har utförts i Trolhättan (Sverige) i företaget Binar Elektronik AB:s lokaler. Bakgrunden till detta samarbete är att Binar vill veta om ZigBee är ett lämpligt val för en av deras framtida produkter.

Uppsatsen är uppdelad i fyra delar, där den första och inledande delen översiktligt beskriver begreppet ZigBee. Den här delen innehåller även en marknadsundersökning rörande ZigBee-hårdvara. Uppsatsen fortsätter sedan med nästa del där en specialisering mot en specifik ZigBee-hårdvara tar vid. Den ZigBee-modul som valdes kallas Xbee och den blev utvald baserat på resultatet från marknadsundersökningen. Den här delen beskriver även den kod som utvecklats för att på ett effektivt sätt kommunicera med Xbee-modulen.

Uppsatsens tredje del består av ett antal praktiska tester i olika miljöer, vars mål är att påvisa vilka styrkor och svagheter som ZigBee-tekniken har i respektive miljö. Den här delen innehåller även ett räckviddstest av Xbee-modulen. Den sista och avslutande delen innehåller uppsatsens resultat och slutsatser. Dessa slutsatser visar tydlig att Xbee-modulen, och dess ZigBee-tekniken, har stor potential att uppfylla de krav som ställs på ett trådlöst system i en industriell miljö. Det måste dock noteras att denna slutsats ej bör tas ur sitt sammanhang och att den således endast är giltig för de testmiljöer som den här uppsatsen behandlat.

This Bachelor of Science thesis has the primary objective to investigate whether or not the wireless technology ZigBee is suitable for industry usage. The thesis work has been done in collaboration with Binar Elektronik AB (Trollhättan, Sweden). The background story for this collaboration is that Binar is interested in finding out if ZigBee is suitable for one of their upcoming products.

The thesis is divided into four main parts, beginning with a researching part concerning ZigBee as a concept and a market research on ZigBee hardware. The thesis continuous with a specialization towards one ZigBee hardware, the ZigBee module from MaxStream called Xbee. The Xbee module was chosen based on the result from the market research. This part also describes the code that has been developed for the Xbee module, which main purpose is to simplify communication with the module.

The next part of the thesis contains a number of different field tests that show how ZigBee communication is affected in different environments. This part also includes a range test with the Xbee module. The last part of the thesis contains the final results and conclusions, which clearly show that the ZigBee technology, and Xbee in particular, has a potential to satisfy the requirements for a wireless system in an industrial environment. This conclusion concerning the industrial usability of ZigBee should however be seen in the light of this particular thesis work, making this conclusion viable only for the field test environments.

Abstract:

Steel is the world’s most important material. Steel production requires iron, steel scrap and flux. Iron production requires: iron ore, coal and limestone, dolomite. The iron ore is smelted to produce an impure metal called “hot metal” when liquid, or “pig iron” when solid. The hot metal is refined to remove impurities and to develop the desired composition. The liquid steel is continuously cast into semi-finished products which are processed into the desired shapes by rolling or forging. Iron is one of the most used metals, accounting 95% of world steel production. After oxygen, silicon and aluminium, iron is the fourth most plentiful element in Earth’s crust.

Abstract:

Due to Industry 4.0 (I4.0) the software ecosystem is constantly changing, and new possibilities and challenges are arising. The purpose of this Master Thesis is to map the software ecosystem in the automotive industry in order to understand the position of Atlas Copco and what gaps an industrial tool supplier can close. In addition, find out what opportunities and challenges that exist in the ecosystem today. Since Industry 4.0 and the software ecosystem are relatively new topics and alters continuously, the study was carried out in an abductive approach and a research design model was created according to that. By combining literature study with empirical study such as interviews, a better understanding was gained which laid the foundation of accumulating a deeper knowledge about the research field and made it feasible to answer the research questions. The current structure in different markets of the software ecosystem are shaped according to an old industry standard for modelling system structures. Differences and similarities between the markets can be found, which explains difficulties in providing software globally. By analysing and combining the current structures for each market, including the answers gained from the conducted interviews, a model was created. A new model for the definition of a software ecosystem in the automotive industry was the result. Additionally, a new way of structuring and visualizing the generic structure of the software ecosystem for Atlas Copco in the Automotive industry was presented as well. The latter model could be used as a tool, that enables a better understanding of the software ecosystem as well as a way to present new solutions to customers. In the ecosystem Atlas Copco takes the role as a premium industrial tool supplier and a provider of software used to configure and monitor quality and errors in the assembly processes. Hence, they broaden their market to become a software supplier. However, thanks to I4.0 technologies, there are potential areas in the production where it is possible for Atlas Copco to extend their establishment further to get more market shares of the software market as well as to provide more value to their customers. Although, the recommendation for Atlas Copco is to shape a reference architecture and focus on software close to the operations of industrial equipment.
Mjukvaruekosystemet är något som ständigt är i förändring där nya möjligheter och utmaningar uppstår i ekosystemet i anknytning till Industri 4.0 (I4.0). Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att kartlägga mjukvaruekosystemet i fordonstillverkningsindustrin för ta reda på vilken position AtlasCopco har och vilka luckor en industriverktygsleverantör kan sluta samt undersöka utmaningar och möjligheter som existerar idag. En forskningsdesignmodell skapades och eftersom projektet omfattar ämnet Industri 4.0 samt mjukvaruekosystemet som är ett relativt nytt ämne som är under kontinuerlig förändring, så utfördes studien baserat på abduktiv strategi. Genom att kombinera litteraturstudier med empiriska studier som intervjuer erhölls en bättre förståelse som lade grunden för att vidare samla på djupare kunskap om forskningsområdet vilket gjorde det möjligt att svara på forskningsfrågorna. Den nuvarande strukturen på olika marknader i mjukvaruekosystemet formas enligt en gammal branschstandard för ett modelleringssystemstrukturer. Skillnader och likheter mellan marknaderna har presenterats som förklarar svårigheterna med att tillhandahålla programvara globalt. I samband med att analysera och kombinera de nuvarande strukturerna för varje marknad, inklusive svaren från de genomförda intervjuerna, har modeller tagits fram. I resultatet presenteras en ny modell för att definiera ett mjukvaruekosystem inom bilindustrin. Dessutom presenterades också ett nytt sätt att strukturera och visualisera den generiska strukturen i mjukvaruekosystemet för Atlas Copco inom fordonsindustrin. Modellen kan användas som ett verktyg för att lättare förstå mjukvaruekosystemet, och till att presentera nya lösningar för kunderna. I ekosystemet tar AtlasCopco rollen som en premiumleverantör av industriella verktyg, inklusive att tillhandahålla programvara som används för att konfigurera, övervaka kvalitet och fel i monteringsprocesserna. Detta breddar Atlas Copcos marknad till att även bli en mjukvaruleverantör. Tack vare I4.0 teknik finns det potentiella produktionsområden där det är möjligt för Atlas Copco att etablera sig ännu mer, för att få fler marknadsandelar på mjukvarumarknaden samt ge mer värde till sina kunder. Rekommendationen är att Atlas Copco skapar en referensarkitektur samt fokusera på mjukvara nära kopplat till operationsnivån och industriverktyg.

U. S. Equity Trading Industry has evolved quickly over the last decade. The U.S. equity market became an open architecture in which entrants with innovative technology can compete effectively. Several regulatory changes and technological innovations have enabled profound changes in market structure. These changes, along with improving high-speed technology, have acted as a catalyst, giving rise to a new approach to trading, named High Frequency Trading, hereafter referred as HFT. HFT Firms emerged and took over in large extent the market making business in providing liquidity. Although HFT has been growing massively, over the past four years, HFT firms have been far less profitable, since more firms entered the industry eroding the margins. Within this context, therefore, this thesis sought to provide a brief review of HFT business, followed by the analysis of its industry boundaries and the characteristics of the HFT environment. To this end, the thesis conducted an extensive literature review of previous research, qualitative public documents, such as, newspapers, meeting minutes and official reports. The thesis employed a series of frameworks, Entry Barriers and Mobility Barriers (Porter, 1980); Models of Industry Evolution (McGahan, 2004); Information-Intensive Industry Structure (Sampler, 1998), to analyze the boundaries of the HFT industry. Additionally, it employed Models of Industry Evolution (McGahan, 2004) and PESTEL (JOHNSON, SCHOLES, and WHITTINGTON, 2011) frameworks to analyze the industry and the environment surrounding HFT business. The analysis concluded that the firms employing HFT to compete in the Securities Trading industry compose an independent industry.
O Mercado Acionário Americano evoluiu rapidamente na última década. Este tornou-se uma arquitetura aberta em que participantes com tecnologia inovadora podem competir de forma eficaz. Várias mudanças regulatórias e inovações tecnológicas permitiram mudanças profundas na estrutura do mercado. Essas mudanças, junto com o desenvolvimento tecnológico de redes de alta velocidade, agiu como um catalisador, dando origem a uma nova forma de negociação, denominada Negociação em Alta Frequência (HFT). As empresas de HFT surgiram e se apropriaram em larga escala do negócio de formação de mercado, no fornecimento de liquidez. Embora HFT tem crescido massivamente, ao longo dos últimos quatro anos, HFT perdeu rentabilidade significativamente, uma vez que mais empresas aderiram ao setor reduzindo as margens. Portanto, diante deste contexto, esta tese buscou apresentar uma breve revisão sobre a atividade de HFT, seguida de uma análise dos limites deste setor, bem como, das características do macroambiente do HFT. Para tanto, a tese realizou uma extensa revisão do histórico literário, documentos públicos qualitativos, tais como, jornais, atas de reunião e relatórios oficiais. A tese empregou um ferramental de análise, Barreiras de Entrada e Mobilidade (Porter, 1980); Modelos de Evolução Setorial (McGahan, 2004); Estrutura do Setor de Informação Intensiva (Sampler, 1998), para analisar os limites do setor de HFT. Adicionalmente, empregou as ferramentas de análise, Modelos de Evolução Setorial (McGahan, 2004) e PESTEL (JOHNSON, SCHOLES, and WHITTINGTON, 2011), para analisar o setor e o contexto que envolve o negócio de HFT. A análise concluiu que as empresas que empregam HFT para atuar e competir no mercado acionário, compoem um setor independente.

Resumo: Há certo consenso na literatura que as décadas de 1920 e 1930 foram cruciais para o processo de industrialização no Brasil. Contornando a inexistência de um Censo Industrial em 1930, esta tese busca contribuir para o entendimento do período recorrendo a dados das Estatísticas Industriais do Estado de São Paulo e aos balanços contábeis de quatro empresas: uma do setor têxtil (Fábrica de Tecidos Labor), uma do setor de máquinas, inicialmente para a cafeicultura (Companhia Mac Hardy) e duas metalúrgicas (Companhia Industrial e Mercantil Casa Fracalanza & Metalúrgica Francalanza, e Sociedade Anônima Souza Noschese). Com base nos dados apresentados, é possível mostrar que, a partir do final da Primeira Guerra Mundial e, principalmente, no correr da década de 1920, não obstante a indústria de transformação depender ainda em grande parte da indução do setor exportador, o padrão de desenvolvimento industrial tornou-se mais complexo. De fato, os investimentos industriais se expandiram em direção ao ramo de bens intermediários - notadamente cimento, aço, papel e celulose, borracha e derivados, química -, além de setores vinculados ao ramo de bens de capital, tais como maquinaria e equipamentos. Em resumo, a diversificação industrial a partir da Primeira Guerra e ao longo dos anos 20 iniciara ali uma mudança estrutural na economia brasileira que marcaria época na década de 1930. Para amparar a pesquisa, procede-se à análise da indústria paulista na época sob o ponto de vista do crescimento, estrutura produtiva setorial, produtividade, financiamento e lucratividade, sendo possível identificar a velocidade da diversificação e o crescimento do setor metalúrgico no parque industrial paulista

Skirting the absence of an industrial census in 1930, the thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the period using data from the Industrial Statistics of the State of São Paulo, and the balance sheets of four companies: a textile industry (Fábrica de Tecidos Labor) one of the machinery sector, initially for coffee (Companhia Mac Hardy), and two metals (Companhia Industrial e Mercantil Casa Fracalanza & Metalúrgica Francalanza, e Sociedade Anônima Souza Noschese). Based on the data presented, it is possible to show that, from the end of World War I, and principally, in the course of the 1920s, despite the manufacturing industry still depended largely on the induction of the export sector, the pattern of industrial development became more complex. In fact, industrial investment has expanded into the field of intermediate goods - notably cement, steel, pulp and paper, rubber products, chemicals - in addition to sectors linked to the industry of capital goods such as machinery and equipment. In short, industrial diversification, from the First World War and throughout the 1920s, there started a structural change in the Brazilian economy would mark time in the 1930s. To bolster the research, an analysis is done of the São Paulo's industry at the time from the point of view of growth, sectoral production structure, productivity, profitability and financing, emphasizing the speed of diversification and growth of the metallurgical sector in the industrial park of Sao Paulo

Abstract:

Denna studie har med ett sociologiskt perspektiv ämnat undersöka hur upplevelsen av jämställdhet ser ut bland produktionsanställda inom den starkt mansdominerade stålindustrin. Det studerade företaget är SSAB som är ett svensk-finskt stålföretag vilka är specialiserade på utveckling och tillverkning av höghållfasta stål. Årligen har företaget en produktionskapacitet om cirka 8,8 miljoner ton på sina produktionsanläggningar i Sverige, Finland och USA. År 2018 omsatte företaget 75 miljarder kronor. Av SSAB:s cirka 14 300 anställda runt om i världen så är 81 procent män, vilket inte gör företaget unikt sett till könsfördelningen inom stålindustrin. SSAB arbetar aktivt med att försöka förändra dessa siffror genom att rekrytera fler kvinnor. Detta som ett led i företagets långsiktiga jämställdhetsmål med tron på att kunna skapa en bättre prestationskultur och bättre kunna tillgodose kundernas behov genom en jämnare könsfördelning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur produktionsanställda upplever jämställdhet på arbetsplatsen. Detta gjordes genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med produktionsanställda på SSAB:s koksverk i Luleå. Resultatet tyder på att den upplevda jämställdheten bland de anställda främst handlar om att företaget rekryterar fler kvinnor och att det synliga därför blir hur fler kvinnor tillträder arbetsplatsen. Detta uppfattades av en del vara ett uttryck för att SSAB kvoterar kvinnor till företaget. Därför upplevdes detta jämställdhets initiativ vara negativt eftersom kompetens och kvalifikationer åsidosatts enligt anställda. Det efterfrågades även initiativ rörande förändringar av attityder, normer och värderingar, vilka ansågs ha inverkan på rådande arbetsplatskultur som under lång tid formats av män. Arbetsplatskulturen och jargongen uppfattades av många som hård, men samtidigt rolig och grunden för trivsel bland de anställda. Däremot uppfattades den även som gränslös och att en minskad chefsnärvaro på grund av en tidigare omorganisation kunde vara grunden till den upplevelsen vilket även synliggjorde en önskan om förändring på arbetsplatsen. De anställda menar att en förändring skulle kunna innebära ökad acceptans mellan kollegor och bättre jargong på arbetsplatsen.
This study aims to investigate, from a sociological perspective, how the perception of gender equality appears among production employees in the highly male-dominated steel industry. The company studied is SSAB, which is a Swedish-Finnish steel company, specialized in development and manufacturing of high strength steels. Each year, the company has a production capacity of approximately 8.8 million tonnes at its production facilities in Sweden, Finland and the USA. In 2018, the company had sales of SEK 75 billion. Of SSAB's approximately 14 300 employees around the world, 81 percent are men, which does not make the company unique in terms of gender distribution in the steel industry. SSAB is working actively to try to change these figures by recruiting more women. This as part of the company's long-term gender equality goal, with the belief that it can create a better performance culture and better meet the needs of customers through a more even gender distribution. The purpose of the study was to investigate how production employees experience gender equality in the workplace. This was done by performing qualitative semi-structured interviews with production employees at SSAB's cookery plant in Luleå. The result indicates that the perceived gender equality among the employees is mainly about recruiting more women and that the visible is thus becoming more women taking up the workplace. This was perceived as an expression of SSAB quoting women to the company. Therefore, this initiative of gender equality was perceived to be negative, as the skills and qualifications were neglected according to employees. Initiatives were also requested concerning changes in attitudes, norms and values, which were considered to have an impact on the prevailing workplace culture that has long been shaped by men. The workplace culture and jargon were perceived by many as hard, but at the same time fun and the basis for well-being among the employees. However, it was also perceived as limitless and that a reduced managerial presence due to a previous reorganization could be the basis for that experience, which also made a wish for change in the workplace. The employees believe that this could mean increased acceptance between colleagues and better jargon in the workplace.

Abstract:

The body of this research seeks to create an Industry Technology Roadmap for one segment of the U.S. textile and apparel industry, specifically, the flushable pre-moistened wipes industry. Industry Technology Roadmapping is a new type of strategic planning method. Previous technology forecasting methods allowed planners to identify several alternate future states or scenarios and provided uncertainty in either product needs or technological developments. In contrast, Industry Technology Roadmapping allows a company or an industry to proactively plan and prepare for its future by offering future goals, critical requirements and, finally, solutions to achieve the future goals. In addition, Roadmapping works as an effective organizational learning and knowledge creation tool and induces collaboration and new partnerships among companies as well. Currently, flushable pre-moistened nonwoven wipes emerge as new textile products and attempt to expand their future markets. During this research, industry expert interviews and surveys, consumer surveys, heavy user surveys, creation of an Internet blog, and literature review including a patent analysis were conducted for data gathering. The resulting Roadmap provides the nonwoven wipes industry valuable information about the potential future markets, required properties, the current environment of flushable wipes, including challenges, strength, and opportunities, and the solutions. These can help the U.S. nonwoven wipes industry to do informed investment into research, development and manufacturing facilities.

Abstract:

The industrial sector is the main energy user in South Africa, using about half the national total, and compared to most other industrialised countries South Africa has a high in_dustrial energy intensity, thus necessitating improved industrial energy management. The malt brewing industry was chosen as a case study industry to illustrate the potential for improved energy management in industry. Ohlsson's brewery in Cape Town was analysed in detail and energy management improvements identified for that brewery were ·expanded to include the malt brewing industry in general, by comparing Ohlsson's brewery to other breweries in South Africa. It was found that energy requirements at Ohlsson's Brewery could be reduced by 12-20%, by the implementation of economically feasible energy management schemes. However, mainly because of discrepancies in coal prices between Ohlsson's Brewery and most other breweries in South Africa, energy requirements for the brewing industry in general can be reduced by 7-13%. This translates to be a monetary saving of R242 000-R486 000/month, which is evenly spread between coal, electricity, and maximum demand savings. No single large energy saving scheme was identified, but the potential. savings are due to a number of schemes. The potential energy savings identified in this study exclude the savings as a result of the implementation of process sensitive schemes, which were considered beyond the scope of this study. Nevertheless some process sensitive schemes, associated with boiling in the brewhouse, could result in substantial savings. The energy usage target identified for South African breweries is higher than current energy requiiements for breweries in the Britain and Germany when climatic and operational constraints are taken into account. This is because Britain and Germany have higher energy costs relative to production costs, government incentive schemes for reducing energy usage, and more stringent environmental legislation often necessitating the recovery of brewhouse vapours.

Class of 2008 Abstract
Objectives: Continuing pharmacy education (CPE) programs are required for pharmacists to maintain licensure and necessary to maintain current clinical knowledge. This study attempts to compare the quality of CPE programs from industry sponsored versus non-industry sponsored sources. Methods: Three CE programs were analyzed by comparison to an established guideline source. Diabetes mellitus was selected as the disease state because there was a recently published and widely accepted guideline document available. Two CPE programs were industry sponsored and one was independent of industry. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline document on the management of type 2 diabetes was used to develop a scoring tool. Each CPE program was evaluated for consistency with the ADA guideline, using the scoring tool. The results were analyzed using the Fisher’s exact test. Also, the number of times that a drug name was mentioned in each program was recorded. Results: There was some discordance between the content of the three CPE programs and the ADA guidelines, but no discernible pattern was seen. There was a statistically significant difference between the non-industry sponsored programs. There were some inconsistencies among the three programs relative to “mentions” of drug names, but again no consistent pattern. Conclusions: This work does not provide convincing evidence of bias among industry-sponsored CPE programs. In retrospect, the choice of the specific CPE programs may have been inappropriate considering the nature of the guideline document and the evaluation tool that was developed from it.

Abstract:

At Hannover Messe in 2011, an annual German industrial fair, a term called Industry 4.0 was first mentioned. It defines the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 focuses on how to integrate new technologies and digitization to gain manufacturing advantages. It visualizes a fully automated manufacturing system with total adaptability and minimal environmental impact while improving product quality. The purpose of this report is to identify what can create value for manufacturing companies when implementing Industry 4.0 concepts. Since Industry 4.0 consists of many different aspects and areas this reports mainly focuses on how to create value in terms of costs, lead time and environmental impact. In order to answer these questions a literature study was done together with semi-structured interviews with employees in major Swedish manufacturing companies. The main conclusion of this report is that Industry 4.0 certainly can create value for manufacturing companies when implemented. Costs can be reduced with automated machines and predictive quality,lead times shortened by using models that can predict failure and a decreased environmental impactcan be achieved by implementing Industry 4.0 tools. However, it also highlights the difficulties when trying to implement Industry 4.0 in practice and were theory lacks application in practice. Finally, the report concludes that further research should investigate in how companies are implementing Industry 4.0 concepts into their businesses and how a business can ensure that it generates value.

The hosiery industry of She-Tou Township, an unattractive industry of OEM (original equipment manufacturer), owned its specific geography resources and history cultures and has built the considerable foreign currency during its heyday, so the industrial cluster was forged naturally among the other industries. However, due to the change of industrial structure, the loss of the OEM advantage, and the ignorance of traditional industry for government, the hosiery industry declined gradually in recent times and is regarded as a “sunset industry”. Under these disadvantageous factors, how the hosiery industry practitioners should transform to make the competition is the dominant motive of this research. This research adopts on the four elements in “Diamond Model”, Factor of Conditions, Demand Condition, Related and Supporting Industries, and Firm Strategy, Structure and Rivalry (Porter, 1990) as the major analysis framework, processes and analyzes the competitive disadvantage with the references and interviews, and arranges the industry predicaments in the present development. The result shows that owing to the competitive advantage of the labors, the technique, the product quality, the material, and the industry cluster, the hosiery industry can be booming in early years. With the change of industries structure, and the rise of China and the emerging countries in Southeast Asia in recent years, the original competitive advantage has been replaced. For these cause, this research proposes some transform suggestions to hosiery industry and the related government departments for reference.

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the LED (light-emitting diode) industry based on a thorough S-C-P analysis. The LED industry is competitive due to the relatively low entry barriers, minimum product differentiation and product durability. The existence of low-price substitutes (e.g. conventional light sources) creates a price ceiling for LED products. In addition, customers are sensitive to prices. Given all these characteristics of the LED industry, we expect that price competition will become intensive when demand growth rate slows. As a result, the profit margins of the industry will be low in the long run. The current growth driver of the LED industry is large LCD display backlight. The market of the large LCD display backlight is forecasted to reach saturation by 2013. Most of the LED industry participants believe that LED general lighting will be the next growth driver for the industry. Due to the high expectation of the demand for LED lighting, LED makers expand capacity aggressively, especially in China. To develop LED industry in China, Chinese government provides subsidies to LED makers to install new MOCVD machines. From 2009 to 2011, it is forecasted that the worldwide LED capacity will triple. However, to successfully penetrate lighting market, LED has to compete with conventional light sources. The price of LED lighting is much higher than that of conventional lighting, which leads to a low customer acceptance rate of LED lighting even though LED lighting has lots of advantages over conventional lighting. In this study, to forecast when LED lamps can significantly penetrate the lighting market, we base our estimation of payback period on the technology road map of U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), and use one-year payback period as the criterion. It is forecasted that LED lamps might be able to penetrate the lighting market of applications having longer operation time (e.g. commercial lighting) and largely replace CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) and incandescent lamps around 2015. However, around 2015, it is also forecasted that LED lamps are less likely to replace other major conventional light sources whose energy efficacy and lifetime are better than those of CFL, for example fluorescent lamps. Moreover, even in countries having higher electricity price and government subsidies on LED lamps (10% of retail price), it is forecasted that LED lamps are less likely to significantly penetrate the residential lighting market until 2017 due to limited savings from shorter utilization. This prompts the speculation that the current forecasts of LED demand growth rate are over optimistic, and there might be oversupply and price competition in the near future if the new capacity is going to grow as planned. As a result, there might be a series of mergers and acquisitions in the near future, especially in China. To be successful in the new business landscape of the LED industry, in addition to technological advancements, it is important to create perceived product differentiation (e.g. branding).

Abstract:

Global trade is of pivotal importance to the global economy accounting for $19.48 trillion in worldwide exports in 2018 (WTO, 2019). The shipping industry is the synonym of global trade, with cargo shipping representing a monopoly in the trading industry. However, the shipping industry is going through some challenges that force the industry to reconsider their business model. The shipping industry must therefore find solutions to improve its profitability via a more efficient value chain model. To tackle this objective, the introduction of Industry 4.0 in the shipping industry is assessed in this paper to evaluate its potential impact. Industry 4.0 describes the end-to-end digitalization of the business model value chain. It is the evolution, growth, and improving efficiency of new enabling technologies empowering a nearly real-time linkage between the physical and digital environments (Olsen & Tomlin, 2019). Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing are the backbone technologies of Industry 4.0. This paper introduces such technologies alongside use cases to understand Industry 4.0’s impact on the shipping industry. To disseminate Industry 4.0 in the shipping industry, this paper concludes that Industry 4.0 providers must consider the risk adverse landscape of the shipping industry when proposing potential solutions. It is crucial for Industry 4.0 providers to speak the language of shipping companies so that they can understand the potential of what is offered and see Industry 4.0 not as a threat but as an opportunity. In any case, the future of the shipping industry already lies through Industry 4.0.
O comércio global é de importância fulcral para a economia global, representando $19,48 trilhões em exportações mundiais em 2018 (WTO, 2019). O sector marítimo é sinônimo do comércio global, com o transporte de carga representando um monopólio na indústria do comércio. No entanto, o sector marítimo está passando por desafios forçando-o a reconsiderar o próprio modelo de negócio. O sector deve, por conseguinte, melhorar sua rentabilidade através de um modelo de cadeia de valor mais eficiente. A introdução da Indústria 4.0 no sector é, portanto, avaliada na presente dissertação, a fim de analisar seu potencial impacto. Indústria 4.0 descreve a digitalização end-to-end da cadeia de valor do modelo de negócio. É a evolução, crescimento e melhoria da eficiência de novas tecnologias que possibilitam uma ligação quase em tempo real entre os ambientes físicos e digitais (Olsen & Tomlin, 2019). Internet of Things, Inteligência Artificial e Cloud Computing são as tecnologias de base da Indústria 4.0. Esta dissertação apresenta as tecnologias juntamente junto casos exemplares para entender o impacto da Indústria 4.0 no sector. A dissertação conclui que, para disseminar a Indústria 4.0 no sector marítimo, os fornecedores devem considerar o adverso de risco do sector ao propor potenciais soluções. É crucial que os fornecedores da Indústria 4.0 dominem a língua das empresas de navegação para que compreendam o potencial do que é oferecido e ver a Indústria 4.0 como uma oportunidade, e não uma ameaça. Em qualquer caso, o futuro do sector marítimo reside já na indústria 4.0.

Thesis Abstract Graduate Institute of International Business National Taiwan University Name：James Y. C. Chang Date: June 2005 Advisor：Dr. Ji-Ren Lee Structural Analysis and Industry Dynamics of CCTV Industry Due to technological improvement and economic growth, there is an increasing demand of security. This is particularly true after recent events of terror attacks, which bring up the fast growth of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) industry. Benefit from the development of digitalization, networking and wireless technologies, the CCTV industry has attracted various sources of entrants, including those from IT, networking and communication industries, which in turn has changed its industry landscape. Up to now, Taiwanese CCTV players have captured around 20% of the global market. It is interesting to discuss if Taiwanese players can sustain their competitiveness in this fast growing market? The purpose of this research is to respond to the above inquiry by conducting a systematic analysis on the structure and competitive dynamics of the global CCTV industry. Guided by the S-C-P paradigm, this study went through various analyses, including demand analysis, supply-side analysis, technology analysis and competition analysis. We then identify demand drivers, product and technology trends, and future growth potential. Based on the analytical results, together with the context of CCTV industry, this study inductively drew several key barriers to entering this industry which led to the conclusion of industry’s key success factors. Next, in order to further capture the within-industry competitive dynamics, we selected four major Taiwanese players in this industry to study their entry strategy, competitive advantages and engine of profitability. Based on the industry analysis and case studies, with a reference to the theory of technology adoption life cycle, we conclude several aspects of advantages that new entrants could rely on; they are (1) differentiating products with technology innovation, (2) penetrating market with relative low price, (3) developing emerging market, (4) repositioning in the value chain, (5) leveraging strategy alliance, and (6) focusing on niche market or specific product. This study also proposed some strategic suggestions to various sources of entrants. For those traditional CCTV firms, they shall build up new technology inside the company as soon as possible, or make alliance with IT firms. For those new entrants with IT, networking, or communication technology competence, they shall develop differential products by stretching their capability, penetrating market by low price, or ally with traditional CCTV firms.

This study investigate 14 building companies in Kaohsiung by way of depth review and secondary data to find out the impact of characteristics of building industry in Taiwan on the financial demand of building companies, the impact of fluctuation of financial policies on building industry,and the interorganization relationship behavior between building companies and fiancial institutions. The conclusion from this study shows that: 1.Such chacteristics as a large demand of capital, and object of selective credit control, lead to a significant demand in high financing rate, and ability to buffer the impact of financial policies. 2.High fluctuation of financial policies have a critical and fatal influence on building industry. 3.Due to high cost of relation maintanence, building companies keep in close touch with few (1-3) financial institutions. 4.Instead of capatal cost, building companies pay more emphasis on financing rate and the relationship between branch and chief bank,small companies also put more emphasis on operation speed, house loan rate, and buffering the impact of financial policies than large ones. 5.Small building companies tend to maintain good relationship with financial institutions to buffer the impact of financial policies. Large building companies make efforts to cooperate and linkage with financial institutions to get stable capital.

With the internet demand increase and opto-electronics technology innovation, opto-electronics industry has tremendous growth, and how to enhance production efficiency and define key factors influencing production efficiency would be important agenda for future Opto-electronics industry development. This study will analyze input and output efficiency of object industry resource to provide opto-electronics industry the solution to enhance production efficiency. There are two purposes in this study. One is measuring resource input and output efficiency of opto-electronics by DEA as reference to enhance production efficiency. The other is to define the key factors influencing production efficiency as the reference of opto-electronic industry development strategy. For research method, the study use DEA to measure pure technology efficiency、scale efficiency、 total technology efficiency、Malmquist index and slack variance as important reference of opto-industry development strategy. In the same time, we use cluster analysis and ANOVA as the foundation for efficiency cluster analysis. Last, we propose solid suggestion of input and output efficiency and industry development strategy based on the result of DEA and efficiency cluster analysis. For DEA research result, LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORP.(源興) is comparatively efficiency as bench mark of other companies in total technology efficiency、pure technology efficiency and scale efficiency form 1998 to 2000. And we can provide the strategy for enterprises to enhance production efficiency by input and output variables analysis. For result of Malmquist index, the management implication is that most enterprise enhance their productivity by pure technology efficiency, and the pure technology efficiency enhancement is mainly from continuous research resource and advanced facility. This is conformed with current opto-electronics industry development condition and it reveals that enterprises have to enhance research capability to get competitive advantages except continuously renew manufacturing facilities. We can enhance pure technology efficiency by manufacturing and enterprise process improvement, and reach the optimal scale by input variables adjustment. For slack analysis, the business could propose solid strategy measurements based on key production efficiency factors. For scale return analysis, most of the decision making units are in the scale return increase stage and it fits with current prosperous condition of opto-electronics industry. Also, it suggests that opto-electronics industry has to enlarge scale to enhance production efficiency and productivity. For technology efficiency cluster analysis, the conclusion reveals that enterprises can enhance production efficiency by increasing research investment and fixed assets and enterprise management has to consider research expenses and fixed assets when making industry strategy. Besides, we can find that fixed assets and research expense has more influence on total technology efficiency. As to the contribution of this study, it provides academia more complete analysis dimension by mutual quantitative and qualitative results reference. As to the strategic suggestion for business practices, the study proposes clear and definite goal by empirical DEA and efficiency cluster analysis in the opto-electronics input and output variables. In the limitation of the study, we only select the input and output data of listed and OTC companies from 1998-2000 because of the data availability restrictions, and it will be confined in the data depth and width. In the input and output variables, if we can subsume other important variables like patent which is specific outcomes of research resource input, it would enhance the research death and width. As to the research suggestion, we can interview government industry policy decision maker、high level management of academic units and benchmark enterprise to get the suggestion for input and output variables selection. In the analysis of opto-electronics sub-industry, we can enlarge sampling limitation by business interview to conduct sub-industry analysis for comparison between different sub-industries. As to the industry strategy, we can simultaneously conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis to mutually prove the research results and by the interviews of industrial circles、academia、government and research center can we master the industry development trend and recommend the visionary opto-industry development industry.

For the exportation markets in Taiwan, flower is one of the main economic crops in Taiwan, as it is high value-added product. On average, output per acre could be US$30,000 for floral industry, which is more than three times greater than other agricultural products. Phalaenopsis industry, which creates the value around one hundred million dollars per year, is the top one industry among the current market of flower exportation in Taiwan. Therefore, developing another “Phalaenopsis industry” has become the main target for those companies need to understand and explore. Among the numerous floral industries, Oncidium is the top one in the quantities of exportation for cut flowers in Taiwan and become one of the most popular product in floral industries. However the total exportation value of Oncidium is much less than Phalaenopsis’. What are the factors that cause this situation? What are those difficulties might be faced in the worldwide market? This study would like to explore and focus on the actual problems that Oncidium industry are encountering and the reason why the Oncidium industry cannot develop the market. Literature reference would involve the responses of interviewing with Scholars, industry, association and attending the international meeting. In the end, it will also offer the suggestion, which might solve these problems. Although the value of Oncidium industry cannot compare with Phalaenopsis industry, if we can solve the main problem, such as how to extend the market in Japan, ensure the growing of the importation, enlarging the sales channels in the market of China, making the soil exporting available in U.S. and developing the potted flower of Oncidium, the Oncidium industry still has great potential to be another star business which can create the value up to one hundred million dollars for Taiwan.

Today the world’s technology has been advanced rapidly, and energy industry is also mushrooming. In addition to efficiency and cost consideration, the energy industry must pay much attention to the natural environment protection so that it can keep developing sustainably. Though the oil reserve is huge, it will gradually depleted. Thus, low pollution, heat recycling and utilization and renewable sources of energy are very important, where human being hence can continuously search for alternative energy, among which fuel cell is one example. Fuel cell is combined with the hydrogen, the element most abundant on the earth, and the pollution in the manufacturing process is nearly zero. Fuel cell can be widely applied to power generation, mobile power, etc., which is expected to simultaneously solve the problem of energy and environment, and bring about the new industry economy. The output value of fuel cell in 2011 is four billion, and is expected to have thirteen billion in 2016 and the potential of nearly one hundred billion in 2020, which is a critical industry in the future. Besides, due to Internet development, the smart phone has become a necessity, plus the information flux is getting much more, and mobile’s functionality continues to expand, followed by the more requirements of fuel cell. This study concerns the fuel cell industry analysis and its application in the analytical research of electronics industry. The methods used in this study are Porter’s (1979, 1990) five forces analysis and diamond theory, and SWOT analysis to explore the industry analysis of fuel cell and the fuel cell competitive strategy in the electronics industry. The findings in this study are that the energy density of fuel cell is higher, ten times compared with that of lithium battery, and it can make machine operation time is one time longer. Moreover, it is convenient to carry, can quickly replenish fuel, has good mobility, which is attractive to market. But small fuel cell still needs to breakthrough in terms of the technology level of reducing cost, miniaturizing, lightweight and durability.

Abstract:

The present study applies evolutionary and resource-based firm theories to three of the most prominent U.S. shale gas basins – the Barnett, Fayetteville, and Haynesville plays. Rather than broadly considering a host of factors that enabled what has often been labelled a shale gas revolution, an evolutionary approach recognizes the internal agents that have long been in place, but were triggered by technical and economic developments. As geologic understanding, along with innovation and competitive environments, evolves in each play so too does the entire shale gas industry. Building upon the Bureau of Economic Geology shale gas study funded by the Sloan Foundation, this study offers data-driven analyses to test theories of industrial evolution as applied to shale gas plays. Each of the three focus plays has undergone introductory and growth phases as well as a maturation phase in which there is an evident shakeout of operators. Industries are theorized to enter decline phases, yet none of the plays here have definitively declined. Certain economic signals, however, indicate that a decline is imminent, albeit variable in timing and pace. Conceptualizing the entire shale gas industry as an amalgamation of individual and evolving plays correctly describes how the industry is able to rejuvenate its growth trajectory through investment in emerging plays. Although heterogeneous geology, engineering capabilities, and economic environment, particularly natural gas prices, complicate the economics of shale gas extraction, an evolutionary approach proves to be a useful tool in describing the historical development of individual plays as well as the entire shale industry. Importantly, this application sheds light on the future development of valuable shale resources.
