Abstract:
This study investigates the effect of environmental conditions on firm performance in the Turkish logistics sector, in the context of the mediating role of strategic posture and interaction between the variables. The data set covering the Marmara region was expanded to cover all Turkey, and the hypotheses in the research model created by extending the period were retested and the study was repeated. The sector was analyzed on a country basis by comparing the findings. In this research, a survey was conducted with 475 people working in managerial positions in firms operating in the Turkish logistics sector. Empirical evidence regarding the mediating role of strategic posture was obtained from this study. As a result, it was determined how important it is for Turkish logistics companies to have a strategic posture, and it is a very important complement in terms of improving performance. In addition, the necessity for companies examined within the scope of the study to make strategic choices in line with the impact of environmental conditions was revealed.

Abstract:
PurposeSeeks to explore recent studies in corporate real estate and to provide a comparative analysis of industrial corporations in Ireland and those in the non‐industrial sector with respect to their corporate real estate management objectives.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical investigation reports on a study undertaken in Ireland and compares results from companies in the industrial sector with companies in the non‐industrial sector. The methodology is based on a behavioural questionnaire targeted at the top 150 companies operating in Ireland and classified on the basis of number of employees.FindingsThe findings indicate that significant differences are apparent between companies in the industrial sector and companies not in the industrial sector in the use of real estate assets. In particular companies in the industrial/manufacturing sectors have weakly developed corporate real estate strategies.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations derive from a relatively small sample size, a function of targeting the survey at senior executives. There are implications for companies in the under‐utilisation of real estate assets and the effects of this on corporate balance‐sheets requires further investigation.Originality/valueHighlights that companies in Ireland, notably those in the industrial sector, have some significant way to go in utilising their corporate real estate assets more effectively.

Abstract:
Strategic management is not only applied to the private sector but has also been applied to the public sector. The implementation of strategic management in the two sectors is actually not that much different, it's just that public sector institutions do not emphasize the organization's goal to seek profit but rather to serve the community. The stages of strategic management begin with strategy formulation, strategy implementation and strategy evaluation. The implementation of public sector strategic management is one of the best ways to achieve good governance. In an effort to realize a better performance of government organizations in providing services to the community, the implementation of strategic management for public sector organizations is very important to improve the effectiveness of the performance of public sector organizations. This requires public sector organizations to think strategically, be able to translate their inputs into effective strategies, and develop the rationale needed to lay the foundation for implementing their strategies. Implementation of strategic management in public sector organizations is expected to assist the organization in realizing its vision and mission. Although the outcome orientation to be achieved by implementing strategic management between the private sector and the public sector is slightly different, the two sectors certainly face different environmental conditions which become their own obstacles in the process of implementing strategic management. To overcome the obstacles that occur, one of them is by using a SWOT analysis approach (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threats). -constraints that occur in measuring the performance of public sector organizations

Abstract:
Like those in other sectors, managers in community-based organisations face an uncertain and challenging future. Research and writing about the community sector (non-government, not-for-profit, or third sector) has canvassed a wide range of issues. A selective review of the recent literature reveals the breadth of research interest in the challenges facing community sector managers. While some reflection on the implications for managers of current economic and social policy contexts is crucial for this sector, research effort needs to be focused on understanding how third sector managers construe their current strategic challenges and the strategies they use to address them. A small sample of managers working in a regional area in South East Queensland was asked to identify current strategic concerns related to the future viability of their organisations. The key issues raised by managers are compared with the issues raised in the research literature. Results to date indicate that managers' concerns are reflected in the research literature, but that managers are also concerned about the current trends in social policy towards collaboration, amalgamation, and partnership. Implications of these findings for managers operating in this sector are discussed.

Abstract:
The study investigates strategic planning in public sector in Nigeria with reference to education sector. Specifically, education is the bedrock of nation-building, because it provides the platform or pivot on which other sectors revolve. Perhaps, one of the fundamental challenges of educational sector is poor and defective strategic planning. The inadequacy or lack of strategic planning is the focus of this study. Methodologically, data were generated from secondary sources of recorded documents, while relevant literature were reviewed with based theory adopted as theoretical underpinning. Content analyses were employed to analyze data via documentary approach. The study found out that lack of strategic planning poses a problem to the educational development. It recommended holistic strategic planning involving environmental analysis, resources analysis, decision-making and control framework as a desideratum for the pivotal strengthening of the educational goals and objectives. Keywords: Strategic planning, education sector, nation-building, developmental goal, environmental analysis.

Abstract:
Since the late 2000s, the transition from a fossil fuel-based system to the fully renewable system has begun. This period, known as an “Era of Ferment”, is characterized by high technical and economic uncertainty and it’s leading the automotive industry towards a paradigm shift: developing new car technologies, creating charging infrastructure needs and shaking up the supply chain structure. In light of ecosystem theory and the importance of alliances in the quest to develop an electric vehicle market, this paper analyses the electromobility ecosystem, tracking its lifecycle and investigating vertical and horizontal alliances between the main actors over time, including original equipment manufacturers, traditional suppliers, battery suppliers, and charging infrastructure providers. We analyzed an original longitudinal dataset composed of 281 alliances in the electric passenger vehicles market, initiated between 2000 and 2015. Through the study of the network of alliances, we describe the Electric Vehicle ecosystem’s evolution, examining the entry time of incumbents, suppliers and complementors, the role of actors in the ecosystem and their previous industry sector, the key knowledge they possess and technological areas in which they operate, and the nations involved. Key network measures also provide insights into power and connectedness of different actors, highlighting a creative accumulation strategy of the incumbents.

Abstract:
Nonprofit leaders face competition, rapid changes, increasing complexity in their operating environments, and diminishing financial support, all of which threaten achievement of their organizational missions. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies nonprofit leaders used to develop plans for performance improvement based on strategic intelligence. The research sample was composed of 3 leaders of a nonprofit organization located in the midwestern region of the United States who implemented nonprofit strategic initiatives to improve their organization's performance. The conceptual framework used for this study was Maccoby and Scudder's strategic intelligence conceptual system for leading change. Data were collected from semistructured interviews and a review of public and internal documentation and performance outcomes. Data were manually coded and thematically organized. The results of data analysis showed leadership and organizational philosophy, foresight effectiveness, systems thinking and knowledge centricity, and smart motivation as the key themes. Findings provide evidence that developing and implementing strategic intelligence-based plans can assist nonprofit leaders in improving organizational performance. The implications of this study for positive social change include providing strategies to nonprofit leaders for how to guide their organizations through rapidly changing environments, compete successfully, and sustain delivery of high-impact goods and services to the public and communities that they serve.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the problems associated with the Australian Public Sector moving sometimes erratically towards strategic public management following substantial and wide ranging reforms over the last 20 years. In particular, this study examines public organizational planning and evaluates the extent to which private sector planning philosophies and methodologies have already and could be applied more relevantly to the public sector. The major proposition is that commercial planning methods and techniques can be used selectively to enhance agency planning and management effectiveness and efficiency. A specific application at Centrelink is considered for public service providers delivering high quality government services as part of a purchaser/provider relationship. Strategic planning and management theory and models are reviewed and a progressivestages model is developed for the APS. A range of private sector planning techniques and tools is evaluated and brief but classified case studies on major APS organizations are also presented. The thesis concludes that a dynamics capabilities approach would enable public organizations to maximize strategic management and operational effectiveness.

Tese de Doutoramento em Design, com a especialização em Design apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Doutor.
Com base na teoria do Design, o objectivo desta investigação consistiu em projectar um modelo para as PME portuguesas de serviços. Foi desenvolvido para ser utilizado facilmente, permitindo que o utilizador tenha uma visão geral e holística de diferentes áreas de conhecimento relacionadas com negócios e saiba a importância das suas inter-relações. A capacitação dos utilizadores pode prevenir e evitar a morte prematura das empresas. Esta investigação resultou do ambiente resultante da crise social e económica nacional, nomeadamente através do número de empresas que faliram e das altas taxas de desemprego. Apostar no Crescimento Sustentável e na Longevidade, e nos benefícios comprovados integração do Design nas empresas é um aliado para a superação das dificuldades existentes. A revisão da literatura focou no Design e o contexto actual português, nomeadamente nas dificuldades existentes e nas necessidades futuras. No estado da arte relacionado com o Design, deu-se maior importância às áreas relevantes para a investigação como o Design Thinking, Design de Serviços e Benefícios do Design através de Design Estratégico. Outras questões também foram estudadas, nomeadamente as relativas aos processos, influência, uso e integração em empresas, outros benefícios e modelos relacionados. Foi seleccionado um grupo de empresas, com características específicas associadas ao Crescimento Sustentável e Longevidade. As PME de serviços já existentes, foram estudadas através de questionário e as empresas mais jovens que se destacaram, foram estudadas através da análise de dados públicos existentes. Estes estudos permitiram obter alguns resultados. Foi possível definir que o modelo deveria ser teórico, simples e amplo e incluir algumas características nomeadamente conhecimentos da área empresarial e do Design.  O modelo deveria ser facilmente compreendido por um público vasto e usado por decisores distintos e por empresas diversas e deveria permitir relacionar a empresa com o modelo. No que diz respeito às empresas, o modelo foca nas questões intrínsecas (empreendedor e equipa), assuntos internos (empresa / negócio), questões extrínsecas ou para processos e estágios de evolução da empresa (ciclo de vida e desenvolvimento). Em termos de Design, o modelo centra-se no Design Thinking, Design de Serviços e Benefícios do Design nomeadamente através do Design Estratégico. O modelo multidimensional foi projectado com especial atenção no seu uso. Pretende-se que os utilizadores compreendam o modelo, identifiquem e visualizem a posição da empresa no modelo e, finalmente, relacionem a empresa com as várias valências do modelo. Também, foi pretendido que os utilizadores aumentem os conhecimentos em Design e a consciência dos benefícios da sua integração na empresa, com foco no Crescimento Sustentado e Longevidade. Os vectores tempo e fase de desenvolvimento da empresa também foram destacados, permitindo ao utilizador relacionar o modelo com a situação da empresa, apresentando futuros cenários e melhorias potenciais. As entrevistas aos especialistas foram conduzidas com base na primeira versão do modelo, para a sua validação e inclusão das críticas construtivas numa versão seguinte. As informações relevantes obtidas, relativas a esta etapa da investigação e de todo o processo, foram inseridas na versão 1.2 do Modelo Atena, que tendo sido melhorado é apresentado neste documento. O modelo pode ser usado como referência e pode ser aplicado a um amplo universo de empresas e negócios que tenham como objectivo a sua melhoria. A investigação baseou-se nas etapas metodológicas apresentadas, respondendo à hipótese e às questões da investigação.   O modelo aumenta o conhecimento da importância e dos benefícios da integração do Design nas empresas, demonstrando que é possível projectar empresas e negócios mais rentáveis incentivando o Crescimento Sustentável e a Longevidade e, consequentemente, promover o desenvolvimento social e económico do país.
ABSTRACT: Based on Design knowledge, the aim of this research was to develop a model with special focus on service SMEs. Its simplicity and ease of use were purpose-built to allow the user a holistic view of different areas, namely business knowledge, and to be aware of their importance and relationships. The users’ empowerment has the potential to prevent and avoid companies’ premature death. The original concerns of this research emerged from the national environment of social and economic crisis (company bankruptcies, high unemployment rates, etc.), the extensive need to pursue Sustainable Growth and Longevity, and the proven benefits of the use and integration of design in companies. The literature review was performed on Design and in the global context, with a special focus on contemporary Portuguese difficulties and future needs. In the State of the Art, the focus was on Design relevant issues for the research, such as: Design Thinking, Service Design, Benefits raised by Design, namely through Strategic Design. Other issues regarding Design were also studied: processes, influence, use and integration in companies, other benefits, and related models. A group of companies with specific characteristics associated with Sustainable Growth and Longevity were selected and deeply analysed: existing Portuguese service SMEs studied through questionnaires, and prominent young companies studied through analysis of public data. The main focus was on a selected set of companies with specific characteristics leading theoretically to Sustainable Growth and Longevity. Several findings could be drawn from these two studies. Following this work, it was possible to specify that the model should include business and Design knowledge, and should be theoretical, simple and broad.  Some particulars were also defined: the model should be easily understood by a wide public, used by a wide range of decision-makers and companies, and allow the companies to be easily and quickly identified and placed within the model. The Model should focus on: intrinsic matters (entrepreneur/team), internal subjects (company/business), external issues, and the evolution process and stages (lifecycle and development) of the company. With regards to Design, the Model should focus on: Design Thinking, Design Process, Service Design, as well as the beneficial relation Design - companies, namely through Strategic Design. The multi-dimensional model was designed with special focus on its use. It was intended that the users could understand the model, identify and visualize the company’s position in the model, and lastly to characterize the company using several facets of the model. It was also intended that users could raise their knowledge and awareness of design and of the benefits of design integration in the company, focusing on company Sustainable Growth and Longevity. The model also focused on the time and development stage vectors, allowing the user to relate the model to the company’s current situation and presenting future scenarios and potential improvements. Expert interviews were conducted in order to validate the Model and to feed into its first draft version. The relevant inputs concerning this research and process stage were incorporated into the Athena Model, the version presented in this document. The model can be used as a reference and can be applied to a wide spectrum of companies and businesses with improvement objectives. The research was based on the methodological steps presented, responding to the research hypothesis and questions. The Model raises knowledge and awareness of the importance and benefits of design integration in companies, linked to Business knowledge, demonstrating that it is possible to design better companies and businesses, encourage Sustainable Growth and Longevity, and thereby foster social and economic development.

Abstract:
Inefficiency in the public sector as a result of leadership ineptitude is said to have contributed significantly to the underdevelopment of Nigeria. This has led to the mismanagement of human and financial resources as well as contributed extensively to poor service delivery to the citizens. The research considered the critical role of public sector administration to the functionality of a society, noting that the major determinant for public sector success is leadership effectiveness. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to identify how leadership ineffectiveness could be addressed in public sector administration in Nigeria and consider the implications of adopting a different approach to improve effectiveness. The study was partly informed by the dearth of literature on leadership in public sector administration, especially within the Nigerian context. The study was underpinned by leadership theories particularly strategic leadership. Research questions focused on existing leadership approaches and how it hindered/enhanced effective service delivery. The study utilized a case study of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) and collected data through face-to-face interviews of 17 staff. Data was analyzed using content analysis and findings revealed the existence of pseudo leadership and blame avoidance behaviour which are detrimental to public sector efficiency. Recommendations are that strategic leadership, administrative accountability, patriotism and reframing be adopted to refine leadership attitude to work in TETFund and other public sector organizations. Application of findings will result in positive social change by providing adequate service delivery for the Nigerian populace thus improving their living standards and supporting economic growth.

Abstract:
Developing equitable practices that provide fair access for all individuals to the benefits and burdens within an organisation remains a dilemma for management both in policy and practice. Research continues to show that the employment status and representation of women is significantly less in relation to those of men. Conflicting arguments on the causes of disparity and competing ideals on the value and means for addressing the disparity have resulted in a number of different opinions on the implementation and practice of equity management. This dissertation contributes to the current knowledge of equity management, exploring contemporary equity management strategies, identifying the approaches of its implementation and analysing these against the outcomes for the status of women's employment. The equity management practices of more that 1900 Australian Private Sector organisations are explored in order to identify the common themes of equity management. Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factory Analysis are used to analyse the data. A model of strategic equity management practice was developed that identifies different structures, strategies and distribution principles designed to address the disparity between men and women. A major aim of this thesis was to explore the ability of a typological theory of equity management approaches to account for the differences in the status of women's employment. The thesis proposes a typology of equity management approaches that explain the implementation of equity management strategies based on structure and process. Four ideal-typical equity management approaches to achieving workplace parity are identified and explored. The traditional (non-compliance), anti-discrimination, affirmative action and gender diversity approaches proposed inform the a priori Cluster Analysis process that grouped Australian organisations based on their use of the approaches to equity management. Significant numbers of Australian organisations were identified utilising each of the identified approaches to equity management. It was further proposed that the different equity management approaches would be predictors of different outcomes for the employment status of women. MANCOVA was used to analyse the equity management approaches (as the independent variables) and the data on the status of women's employment (as the dependent variables). The findings indicate that the different approaches to equity management are predictors of different outcomes for the employment status of women. Results show that the traditional approach to equity management, which includes the use of none of the equity management strategies identified, is not a predictor of increases in any of the employment measures of women. The anti-discrimination approach, which includes the use of a limited number of equity management strategies identified, is a predictor of increases in some of the employment measures of women. The affirmative action approach to equity management, which includes the use of a number of proactive equity management strategies identified, is a predictor of increases in the employment status of women across a number of measures. The gender diversity approach to equity management, which includes the use of all the equity management strategies identified, is a limited predictor of increases in the employment status of women across some of the measures of employment. Managing the equity process within organisations is increasingly identified as an important tool in managing human resources in competitive, global environments that require productive workers and quality outputs. If equity management is to provide an effective means of addressing disparity between men and women in organisations, this thesis argues for the development of a strategic process to address the specific issues of disparity and the particular needs of the individual and the explicit goals of the organisation in equal opportunity.

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to investigate the way strategies are formed in a public sector organization and to assess the role of the Board-members in shaping and developing strategies. The project consisted of the following distinct steps: (1) The collection and processing of background information concerning the enterprise under study. (2) The collection and analysis of the Board's past decisions over a period of nine years. (3) The interview accounts of the members of the Board (4) The analysis of the interviews at the individual level and the construction of cognitive maps. (5) The testing of the validity of the cognitive maps of the previous stage by employing a quantitative technique in which the interviewees scored on matrices and identified the influence between elements of the strategy, the external, and the organizational environment. (6) The identification of patterns in the cognitive structure of each individual, resulting from both the qualitative (interviewing) and quantitative (matrix scoring) approaches. (7) The attempt to build theory by integrating the different sources of data and generating propositions grounded on data by relating the findings of this study to the existing literature. The major findings concerned the notion of strategy according to the Board-members' accounts. Thus, the majority of Board-members perceived strategy as something that occured outside them, something over which they had little control. The Board-members' role, as revealed in the strategy-areas studied, was a legalistic role concerning mostly ratification of proposals without active contribution to initiating and developing new strategies. It is also argued that this Board's composition, structure and processes exhibited deficiencies. The real strategist of the organization was the new General Manager who succeeded not only in creating an integrated strategy but also in getting it institutionalized (that is in establishing commitment among the people of the organization).

Abstract:
The improvement of SISP practices has rapidly become one of the most critical issues facing many organisations, including banks. Globally, the banking sectors, including the Saudi one, have developed and implemented many IS strategies. Several systems have been executed to support the countries’ economies which have benefited from the increased trading resulting from the greater flexibility in time and costs associated with banking transactions. To continue these achievements and to improve SISP processes, several factors require careful investigation based on their relationship to SISP success; which include SISP objectives, SISP internal factors, external consultant functions, SISP external factors, measurements of SISP success, key stakeholders’ roles, and triggers. Therefore this study investigates the impact of these factors on SISP success. Data were collected in three phases. Phase 1 was an initial study with one or two interviews with the IT directors of each bank in the Saudi banking sector comprising the central bank and 11 commercial banks. The outcomes informed the development of a survey that was used in Phase 2; to investigate a sample containing a central bank, a domestic commercial bank and a domestic-foreign commercial bank to determine their SISP processes. 157 completed questionnaires were returned from the bank executives, business and IT directors and consultants. In Phase 3, 57 interviews confirmed and explained the quantitative results from Phase 2. Therefore, an in-depth case study was made in the three banks during Phases 2 and 3. The research results support previous findings on the SISP’s seventeen objectives collected by several researchers across different industries and in various countries. Furthermore, the research condenses these seventeen objectives into five more practical and achievable objectives for the banking sector. These are: 1) planning and deployment of information systems; 2) leading organisation changes; 3) improving stakeholders’ involvement and communication; 4) achieving the strategic priorities; and 5) alignment of organisational policies and architecture for business and IS. In addition, the findings identify the factors according to their relationship with SISP success and therefore explore several elements with positive, negative or no impact on SISP success in the banking sector. The thesis presents conclusions and suggests areas for further research.

Abstract:
The relevance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for sustainable development is indisputable, especially in the current circumstances of the global pandemic. The pandemic circumstances, as well as the resulting crisis, have caused a change in the way corporations and other organizations achieve their economic, social and environmental goals. Therefore, the role that organizations must play in society, as well as their commitment to broader societal goals, is changing. Corporate social responsibility is becoming an integral part of the corporate philosophy and provides a framework for establishing long-term relationships with key stakeholders which is one of the main prerequisites for the survival and development of organizations. This further implies the growing importance of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR), which indicates the need for organizations to adopt socially responsible strategies and to balance between profit and the common good in order to survive in the long term. Although the importance of CSR is recognized in various business sectors, socially responsible activities are particularly important for the financial sector, as it is one of the key factors of economic development. The financial sector should be one of the pillars of the CSR development, as well as to define guidelines for other organizations striving to improve socially responsible behavior, through the development of a strategy based on building reputation and commitment to beneficiaries as primary and indispensable parts of successful business. Consequently, CSR in the financial sector is a relevant research area, given the large number of different stakeholders affected by the activities of financial institutions, whether owners, employees or beneficiaries. Despite the large number of studies in the field of corporate social responsibility, a relatively small number of studies deal with the characteristics of corporate social responsibility in financial institutions. This indicates an appropriate research gap that we seek to overcome with this research. The subject of research in this paper is the specifics of corporate social responsibility in the financial sector and the implementation of appropriate socially responsible activities. The aim is to identify how employees in the financial sector perceive corporate social responsibility in general, and in the financial sector of the Republic of Serbia in particular. An empirical research was conducted in financial institutions in the Republic of Serbia, which included 113 employees in banks and insurance companies. We used an adapted questionnaire on corporate social responsibility, which enabled attitudes of employees about the implementation of appropriate socially responsible activities. The results of descriptive statistical analysis showed that employees perceive that financial institutions are generally socially responsible. Actually, the results indicate that banks and insurance companies in the Republic of Serbia recognize CSR as a strategic and legal determinant of business success and strive to raise awareness of its employees about its importance, including it in their policies and practices which is very important because it lays the foundation for building and developing corporate social responsibility. At the same time, the results showed that statistically significant differences in the perceptions of employees are identified regarding gender, level of education and organization's activity, i.e. between employees in banks and insurance companies.

Abstract:
The problem of determining the investment priorities of the national economy development has been actuated. It has been argued that the formation of institutional preferences for activation of industry investment processes should be carried out taking into account the potential ability of each sectoral group enterprises to increase the added value. The scientific and methodical approach for sub-sectors investment attractiveness assessment has been formed on the example of the Ukrainian food industry. It has been recommended to use for this substantiated set of relative performance indexes which are duplicated in aggregate statistical state surveys based on the enterprise’s financial statements. It has been formed the recommendations for the investment priorities of food industry development in Ukraine which are based on the appropriate calculations made by the TOPSIS and CRITIC methods. Methods of economic-statistical and comparative analysis were used for structural and dynamic characteristics of the Ukraine industrial enterprises activities. Given that innovation processes should also cover small and medium-sized industrial enterprises, whose resource opportunities are mostly limited, it is proposed to expand them within the framework of a strategic partnership. Graphic modeling methods have been used to visualize the process of building the business structures resource potential on the basis of their strategic partnership. The influence of the motivational environment on the value of organizational relations within the partnership has been formalized.

Just, David, and Amir Heiman. Building local brand for fresh fruits and vegetables: A strategic approach aimed at strengthening the local agricultural sector. United States Department of Agriculture, January 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2016.7600039.bard.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The debate about whether to reduce import barriers on fresh produce in order to decrease the cost of living and increase welfare or to continue protecting the local agricultural sector by imposing import duties on fresh vegetables and fruits has been part of the Israeli and the US political dialog. The alternative of building a strong local brand that will direct patriotic feelings to support of the agricultural sector has been previously discussed in the literature as a non-tax barrier to global competition. The motivation of consumers to pay more for local fresh fruits and vegetables are better quality, environmental concerns, altruism, and ethnocentrism. Local patriotic feelings are expected to be stronger among national-religious consumers and weaker among secular left wing voters. This project empirically analyzes consumers’ attitude toward local agricultural production, perceptions of the contribution of the agricultural sector to society and how these perceptions interact with patriotic beliefs and socio-political variables perhaps producing an ethnocentric preference for fruits and vegetables. This patriotic feeling may be contrasted with feelings toward rival (or even politically opposing) countries competing in the same markets. Thus geo-political landscape may help shape the consumer’s preferences and willingness to purchase particular products. Our empirical analysis is based on two surveys, one conducted among Israeli shoppers and one conducted among US households. We find strong influences of nationalism, patriotism and ethnocentrism on demand for produce in both samples. In the case of Israel this manifests itself as a significant discount demanded for countries in conflict with Israel (e.g., Syria or Palestine), with the discount demanded being related to the strength of the conflict. Moreover, the effect is larger for those who are either more religious, or those who identify with right leaning political parties. The results from the US are strikingly similar. For some countries the perception of conflict is dependent on political views (e.g., Mexico), while for others there is a more agreement (e.g., Russia). Despite a substantially different religious and political landscape, both right leaning political views and religiosity play strong roles in demand for foreign produce.

Strategic Foresight to Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Achieve Water-related Sustainable Development Goals. United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, April 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.53328/lotc2968.

Full text
Abstract:
The report recommends that: 1) Policymakers should conduct holistic assessments of social, economic, and cultural factors before AI adoption in the water sector, as prospective applications of AI are case- specific. It is also important to conduct baseline studies to measure the implementation capacity, return on investment, and impact of intervention. 2) To ensure positive development outcomes, policies regarding the use of AI for water-related challenges should be coupled with capacity and infrastructure development policies. Capacity development policies need to address the AI and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) needs for the AI-related skill development of all water-related stakeholders. Infrastructure development policies should address the underlying requirements of computation, energy, data generation, and storage. The sequencing of these policies is critical. 3) To mitigate the predicted job displacement that will accompany AI-led innovation in the water sector, policies should direct investments towards enabling a skilled workforce by developing water sector-related education at all levels. This skilled workforce should be strategically placed to offset dependency on the private sector. 4) Water-related challenges are cross-cutting running from grassroots to the global level and require an understanding of the water ecosystem. It is important for countries connected by major rivers and watersheds to collaborate in developing policies that advance the use of AI to address common water-related challenges. 5) A council or agency with representation from all stakeholders should be constituted at the national level, to allow for the successful adoption of AI by water agencies. This council or agency should be tasked with the development of policies, guidelines, and codes of conduct for the adoption of AI in the water-sector. These key policy recommendations can be used as primary guidelines for the development of strategies and plans to use AI to help achieve water-related SDGs.

Full text
Abstract:
As the global community works toward the Sustainable Development Goals, closer integration between governance and sectoral interventions offers a promising, yet unproven avenue for improving health service delivery. We interrogate what value an integrated governance approach, intentionally combining governance and sectoral investments in strategic collaboration, adds to health service readiness and delivery using data from a study in Senegal. Our quasi-experimental research design compared treatment and control communes to determine the value added of an integrated governance approach in Senegal compared to health interventions alone. Our analysis shows that integrated governance is associated with improvements in some health service delivery dimensions, specifically, in aspects of health facility access and quality. These findings—that health facilities are more open, with higher quality infrastructure and staff more frequently following correct procedures after integrated governance treatment—suggests a higher level of service readiness. We suggest that capacity building of governance structures and an emphasis on social accountability could explain the added value of integrating governance and health programming. These elements may help overcome a critical bottleneck between citizens and local government often seen with narrower sector or governance-only approaches. We discuss implications for health services in Senegal, international development program design, and further research.

Full text
Abstract:
Globally, the bioeconomy can be defined as the domain of the economy based on products, services and processes derived from biological resources. In this regard, synthetic biology refers to the characteristics of a field derived from biology that has developed over the past thirty years thanks to advances in applied genetics and bioengineering. Some predict that the future economy will primarily be a bioeconomy based on these emerging techniques, which are consistent with the decarbonization of our economy. We first describe the international reality of the "Bio Revolution" and then aim to assess Quebec's position. Next, we present some government policies following a top-down approach from different jurisdictions. A case study of a Montreal-based company allows us to highlight the problems it faced in attracting the financial capital needed for its growth. Another critical issue in the field is the scalability of production processes. We explore this issue further in agritech, a high potential sector but whose realization faces several socio-economic challenges. This analysis serves as a backdrop to our recommendations to develop a roadmap for government support for synthetic biology.
