Introduction. In order to create a successful growth and development of the tourism business, management personnel need to have a complete picture of both the external environment and the internal state of the enterprise. An integrated management system based on a balanced system of indicators is designed to formulate and provide integral relevant management information. The integrated management system allows you to track important information both at the macro level, at the micro level, and within the investigated enterprises.
The hypothesis of the scientific research consists in substantiating the conceptual system of management information support, which takes into account the main parameters of the activity of tourist enterprises and is aimed at the comprehensive identification of bottlenecks of its activity, the formation of measures to eliminate deficiencies in management and improved systems of complex management information.
The purpose of the study is the formation of elements of a complex information system for managing information support for the development of tourist enterprises.
The methodology of scientific research is to ensure the management of a tourist enterprise with a unified system of information support based on the results of research using general scientific and special methods. One of the main methods is dialectical, since all phenomena are considered as a whole, all processes are organically connected with each other and are in continuous motion. Specific methods: analysis and forecast – when evaluating the management system according to various criteria; normative – to compare the obtained indicators with the existing system of norms and standards in the IT industry.
Conclusions and prospects for further research. The implementation of an integrated unified information support system will allow the tourism business to focus attention and mobilize resources on achieving long-term goals, optimize operational activities, significantly improve the results of enterprises and create its unique strategic competitive advantage. The use of the information system has a socio-economic effect, which is expressed in reducing the labor intensity of asset management operations, ensuring comfortable working conditions, improving the qualifications and development of personnel, obtaining new information and skills for working with the new information system, making recommendations for its improvement, and improving the climate in the team due to a clearer division of powers and spheres of responsibility.
Keywords: tourist enterprises; management; information systems; potential of the tourism industry.

Texto completoResumen
Motion pictures constituted a revolutionary new technology that transformed entertainment—a rival, labor-intensive service—into a non-rival commodity. Combining growth accounting with a new output concept shows productivity growth in entertainment surpassed that in any manufacturing industry between 1900 and 1938. Productivity growth in personal services was not stagnant by definition, as current understanding has it, but instead was unparalleled in some cases. Motion pictures’ contribution to aggregate GDP and TFP growth was much smaller than that of general purpose technologies steam, railways, and electricity, but not insignificant. An observer might have noted that “motion pictures are everywhere except in the productivity statistics.”“So long as the number of persons who can be reached by a human voice is strictly limited, it is not very likely that any singer will make an advance on the £10,000 said to have been earned in a season by Mrs. Billington at the beginning of the last century, nearly as great as that which the business leaders of the present generation have made on the last.”1Alfred Marshall

Texto completoResumen
Illegal consumer file sharing of motion pictures is considered a major threat to the movie industry. Whereas industry advocates and some scholars postulate a cannibalistic effect on commercial forms of movie consumption, other researchers deny this effect, though sound evidence is lacking on both sides. Drawing on extant research and utility theory, the authors present hypotheses on the consequences and determinants of consumer file sharing and test them with data from a controlled longitudinal panel study of German consumers. The data contain information on the consumers' intentions toward and actual behavior in relation to the consumption of 25 new motion pictures, allowing the authors to study more than 10,000 individual file-sharing opportunities. The authors test the effect of file sharing on commercial movie consumption using a series of ReLogit regression analyses and apply partial least squares structural equation modeling to identify the determinants of consumer file sharing. They find evidence of substantial cannibalization of theater visits, DVD rentals, and DVD purchases responsible for annual revenue losses of $300 million in Germany. Five categories of file-sharing behavior drive file sharing and have a significant impact on how consumers obtain and watch illegal movie copies.

ABSTRACTSome observations on using motion pictures to teach Business English. THE USE of motion pictures or other captioned films as part of teaching English as a foreign language has markedly increased in recent years in China. Because of this, we undertook a four-year experiment to determine how effective the use of English-language movies has been in the teaching of business. From this experiment it became clear that a cavalier use of movies in effect misused them. The appropriate and effective use of motion pictures requires a range of elements: (1) movies that are at one and the same time educational, informative, and entertaining; (2) a workbook linked to such movies that enables students to get ready beforehand; (3) most importantly, a range of classroom activities to induce and elicit timely and optimal output from the students, so as to make talking and writing about communication easier and more effective. Activities such as dubbing, story retelling, acting, discussing, debating, and role playing are only a few of the effective techniques a teacher can employ to engage the students.

This article is about the movie Little Women (2019), which is produced by Colombia Pictures, Regency Enterprises and Sony Pictures, and has won many awards such as Young Artist Award and Best Family Motion Picture. This movie is mainly about the main character Jo, a writer that does not want to get married, and her family, Amy, Meg and Beth. It reflects the truth and the society of the 19th Century America, expressing the impacts made by these situations at that time. Therefore, this movie mainly discusses women’s position through film production, which brings a positive impact on later films while discussing about women’s positions and gender stereotype.

This study analyses the effectiveness of vertical integration for motion pictures’ box office revenues and the moderating effects of environmental uncertainty on China’s film industry, where a market economy was introduced in 2002. We analyzed a sample of 1,824 films released between 2005 and 2016 using a PROCESS model. We found strong evidence that vertical integration positively influenced box office revenues, which were higher under greater environmental uncertainty post reforms than under relative stability. We also found films that (1) had major producers or distributors, (2) were based on intellectual property, (3) belonged to the action or fantasy genre, or (4) featured superstars performed better. This study demonstrates the current operating level of the market economy in China’s film industry and offers a unique, fresh dataset comprising almost all films released in Mainland China and produced by enterprises in Greater China.

Mobile teamwork has become an emerging requirement in the daily business of large enterprises. Employees collaborate across locations and need team support while they are on the move. Business documents and expertise need to be shared independent of the actual location or connectivity (e.g., access through a mobile phone, laptop, Personal Digital Assistant, etc.) of employees. Although many collaboration tools and systems exist, most do not deal with new demanding requirements such as locating artifacts and experts through distributed searches, advanced information subscription and notification, and mobile information sharing and access. The MOTION service architecture that we have developed supports mobile teamwork by taking into account the different connectivity modes of users, provides access support for various devices such as laptop computers and mobile phones, and uses XML meta data and the XML Query Language (XQL) for distributed searches and subscriptions. In this article, we describe the architecture and the components of our generic MOTION services platform for building collaborative applications. The MOTION platform is currently being evaluated in two large industry case-studies.

Is the involvement of stars critical to the success of motion pictures? Film studios, which regularly pay multimillion-dollar fees to stars, seem to be driven by that belief. This article sheds light on the returns on this investment using an event study that considers the impact of more than 1200 casting announcements on trading behavior in a simulated and real stock market setting. The author finds evidence that the involvement of stars affects movies' expected theatrical revenues and provides insight into the magnitude of this effect. For example, the estimates suggest that, on average, stars are worth approximately $3 million in theatrical revenues. In a cross-sectional analysis grounded in the literature on group dynamics, the author also examines the determinants of the magnitude of stars' impact on expected revenues. Among other things, the author shows that the stronger a cast already is, the greater is the impact of a newly recruited star with a track record of box office successes or with a strong artistic reputation. Finally, in an extension to the study, the author does not find that the involvement of stars in movies increases the valuation of film companies that release the movies, thus providing insufficient grounds to conclude that stars add more value than they capture. The author discusses implications for managers in the motion picture industry.

Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economic landscape of a nation. A combination of support from multiple stakeholders can enhance the capacity of MSMEs to effectively fulfill their role. MSMEs have the potential to foster growth not only within local communities but also on a global scale. The ability of the firm's owner to analyze financial statements and build a comprehensive company profile may facilitate the start of internationalization efforts. Objective: The primary objective of this community service initiative is to enhance the knowledge and competencies of business owners in the areas of financial statement analysis and company profile preparation. Method: The training activities are conducted utilizing the pedagogical approach of lectures and interactive focus group discussions. Mentoring activities encompass practical exercises such as the analysis of financial reports and the preparation of business profiles. The data collection process involved the execution of pre-test and post-test, questions and answers, and the completion of activity evaluations by participants. Results: According to the findings, participants' knowledge and skills in assessing financial reports and developing business profiles improved. Conclusion: Financial statement analysis and the creation of company profiles are critical components that cannot be overlooked for MSMEs seeking to compete globally. Financial statement analysis is the fundamental instrument for making informed business decisions, whereas company profiles are visual representations and pictures that help a company develop a strong identity in the global market.

Texto completoResumen
The extremely short life cycle and the rapid decay in revenues after opening coupled with the rapid and frequent introduction of new competitive products makes the timing of new product introductions in the motion picture industry critical, particularly during the high-revenue Christmas and summer seasons. Each studio wants to capture as much of the season as possible by opening early in the season. At the same time, each wants to avoid head-to-head competition. The authors model competition between two motion pictures in a share attraction framework and conduct an equilibrium analysis of the product introduction timing game in a finite season. The following three different equilibrium configurations emerge: (1) a single equilibrium with both movies opening simultaneously at the beginning of the season, (2) a single equilibrium with one movie opening at the beginning of the season and one delaying, and (3) dual equilibria, with either movie delaying opening. A key factor is the product life cycle, which can be captured well with a two-parameter exponential decline. The authors relate the life-cycle parameters to these possibilities with the general result that the weaker movie may be forced to delay opening. These results are related to case studies of the opening of recently released movies. A statistical analysis of the 1990 summer season in North America provides support for the conclusions and suggests that current release timing decisions can be improved. The authors discuss the rationale of “avoiding the competition” in the general context of product introduction timing.

Purpose Due to the emergent use of social media for marketing purposes, and the limited number of studies focusing on the use of social media by firms, the purpose of this paper is to explore the inclusion of social networks in the traditional marketing mix models. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 20 small and large Italian liquor producers was used, and their Facebook profiles were content analyzed. Findings The results provide evidence about the emerging shift from the use of social media for communication purposes through static advertising (characterized by pictures and slogans), to its use as an interactive channel that can influence consumers’ purchasing behaviour through multimedia tools (i.e. games and interactive applications able to solicit users’ interest), by emphasizing the extent to which a higher level of participation by a firm involves a higher level of consumer interaction. The findings also suggest that the firm’s participation should be considered as a new element of the traditional marketing mix model and as an additional tool for efficient market sizing and sensing. Originality/value The study offers findings on actual usage of Facebook as part of marketing mix strategies based on large and small enterprises operating in the food and beverage sector, where a dearth of studies is observed. The study enhances and advances the social media and marketing literatures.

This research examines the utilization of productive zakat in increasing the income of business groups, especially in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises groups (UMKM) which are located and funded by the National Zakat Amil Agency (Baznas) and the Muhammadiyah Regency Amil Zakat Infaq and Sadaqah Institute(LAZISMU) To deepen the study, the researcher first took pictures of the model and impact of utilizing productive zakat on UMKM, secondly the researchers took pictures of the obstacles and solutions faced by Baznas and Lazismu in utilizing productive zakat. As data analysis material in this research, researchers used empowerment theory and needs theory. These two theories are combined in the study to explore the model and the impacts and obstacles faced by Baznas and Lazismu. Specifically, Gozali's theory of needs is used as an approach in Islamic Economics. Apart from theory, researchers also slice the data into rules or laws related to zakat management in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the method used is descriptive qualitative, data collection uses semi-structured interview techniques and document study. The research results show that the productive zakat utilization model in Baznas and Lazismu is structured and well planned, while the impact on mustahik or UMKM still needs to be evaluated in depth. Apart from that, the obstacles faced are the management of zakat/mustahik data which is not yet optimal, a shortage of personnel and a lack of understanding about zakat for personnel as well as a lack of zakat income/funds.

Abstract Introduction In late 2021, two serious accidents involving work at confined spaces happened in Hong Kong, resulting in three deaths and six injuries. Methods To tackle this proactively, OSHC partnered with industry stakeholders and hosted an array of activities to enhance awareness of related hazards and re-build industry’s capacity for safe confined space operations. Results Highlights of the activities are the launch of two long-term schemes: a safety sponsorship scheme for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and an accreditation scheme to help enterprises to set up safety management system (SMS). Promotion materials were also developed to remind confined space workers and workers working outside on dos and don’ts during incidents to reduce casualties. Sponsorship scheme covers (1) free safety training and refresher courses for confined space workers and supervisors; (2) financial support to buy gas detectors and dead-man alarm (motion detector); and (3) free consultancy services on use of safety equipment and how to conduct proper risk assessment. Discussion - Conclusion Accreditation Scheme further provides enterprises with (1) free consultancy support for developing and implementing SMS; (2) rescue equipment such as safety harnesses, tripods, winches and breathing apparatus; and (3) free accreditation service to validate the SMS so set up. Potential clients/ principals were engaged and persuaded to accord priority in hiring the accredited enterprises to undertake future confined space work who are better equipped to provide relevant service in safe manner. This in turn translates to more business for the accredited enterprises, providing incentive for the trade to join the scheme.

“We live in an age of wonders!” exclaims a character in Henry James's The Bostonians (1886). And so it must have seemed to any American who could read the newspapers, which thrived, in the 1880s, on the business of proclaiming marvels. In The Bostonians one of the “wonders” is Miss Verena Tarrant, whose precocious and hypnotic speaking powers on the subject of women's rights — together with a pretty face and trim figure — succeeded in selling out the Boston Music Hall. Other wonders of the decade were less comely but more enduring: the lightbulb, the electric generator (which so awed Henry Adams), the telephone, the automobile, motion pictures, the linotype machine, the Kodak camera. The hawking of Verena Tarrant outside the Music Hall followed the American pattern of packaging, promoting, and generally celebrating (in a chauvinistic spirit) all manner of sensational feats, new technologies, and even writers and painters who caught the public's fancy. One of these was, of course, Mark Twain, who successfully promoted his own works through direct subscription sales. Also included among the sensational feats of the period were the trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye) still-life paintings by William Michael Harnett, who was heralded in a feature article that appeared in the New York News at the end of the decade. The headline ran as follows:Painted Like Real Things. The Man Whose Pictures Are a Wonder and a Puzzle. How He Began and the Success He Has Met With — Poverty Forced Him to Earn a Living in the Line in Which He Excells.

Gone were the days when communication among people can only be achieved by language, the popularization of computers and the soaring development of multimedia technology have brought tremendous changes to the way people communicate with each other. There is little doubt that language is the most important, but never the only, means by which we communicate and create meaning (Han, 2015, p. 415), resources for representing meaning like sound, image, color, motion and other non-verbal communication approaches are significant as well. While most of the studies prefer a content analysis way to find out the semiotic meaning in a certain advertisement, this article, however, would apply a multimodal discourse analysis approach to demonstrate how business enterprises externalize their selling points and promotional strategies in advertisements.

Movies and other media goods are traditionally distributed across distinct sequential channels (e.g., theaters, home video, video on demand). The optimality of the currently employed timing and order of channel openings has become a matter of contentious debate among both industry experts and marketing scholars. In this article, the authors present a model of revenue generation across four sequential distribution channels, combining choice-based conjoint data with other information. Drawing on stratified random samples for three major markets—namely, the United States, Japan, and Germany—and a total of 1770 consumers, the empirical results suggest that the studios that produce motion pictures can increase their revenues by up to 16.2% through sequential distribution chain timing and order changes when applying a common distribution model for all movies in a country and that revenue-optimizing structures differ strongly among countries. Under the conditions of the study, the authors find that the simultaneous release of movies in theaters and on rental home video generates maximum revenues for movie studios in the United States but has devastating effects on other players, such as theater chains. The authors discuss different scenarios and their implications for movie studios and other industry players, and barriers for the implementation of the revenue-maximizing distribution models are critically reflected.

For online e-commerce platforms, big data intelligent marketing is an essential tool for promoting companies, creating pictures, participating in competitions, and engaging customers. This also gives traditional marketing a new sense of precision and a new approach to increasing revenue. Marketing and public relations based on big data analytics and intelligence should be considered important and profitable for the travel and tourism business. Tourism enterprises need to learn to use intelligent technology to guide marketing activities and formulate comprehensive and accurate marketing strategies. Infiltrate the advantages of intelligence into all aspects of tourism marketing, so as to form an intelligent, precise, and modern tourism marketing and publicity model, and help enterprises to improve their income. This work focuses on the research on intelligent tourism marketing and publicity. The main research contents include the following aspects. First, this work proposes a revenue-enhancing tourism marketing and publicity method, which is mainly divided into the use of intelligence to enrich the form of publicity and marketing and the use of intelligence to refine the content of publicity and marketing. Second, this work proposes an IWOA-BP network for evaluating a revenue-enhancing intelligent tourism marketing promotion method. It improves the WOA algorithm by introducing a nonlinear convergence factor and adaptive crossover mutation to construct the IWOA algorithm. Then IWOA is applied to initial weights and thresholds for optimization, which can solve the drawbacks of the traditional BP network and improve the performance and reduce the training time. Third, this work conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed revenue enhancement-oriented tourism marketing and publicity methods and IWOA-BP, and the experimental results verify the feasibility of these methods.

The use of near-Earth space is currently complicated by the presence of space debris objects in Earthʼs orbit, which include spent stages of launch vehicles, inoperative spacecraft, and other large and small objects associated with human activity in space. One of the elements of solving the problem of space debris is the docking and capture of an uncontrolled non-cooperative space object or spacecraft by a so-called on-orbit servicing spacecraft to carry out further actions to repair it, refuel or change its orbit. The situation is complicated by the fact that, under the influence of various factors, uncontrolled space objects are in a state of rotation. The parameters of the orbital motion of such objects are known quite accurately from measurements from the Earth. To carry out safe approach and docking, knowledge of the parameters of rotational motion, as well as the parameters of relative motion, is also required. The most general case of motion of a non-cooperative tumbling spacecraft located in an elliptical orbit is considered. It is assumed that the three-dimensional graphic model of such spacecraft is known. The servicing spacecraft (SSC) is equipped with a mono camera that takes pictures of the non-cooperative spacecraft (NSC). Based on a comparison of the characteristic features of photographs and images obtained using the graphical model, the computer vision system (CVS) determines the distance vector to the so-called graphical coordinate system, rigidly fixed on the NSC and the quaternion of its relative attitude. The specific type of CVS is not considered. It is assumed that the SSC carries out some maneuvers near the satellite. All parameters of the SSC angular motion are assumed to be known. This work considers the most general case of the relative motion of SSC and NSC. Using quaternion calculus, all basic kinematic and dynamic equations are obtained. The measured parameters are not enough to ensure safe rendezvous and docking with the NSC. The stochastic characteristics of errors of the CVS measurement are not assumed to be known and, accordingly, are not used. Only their maximum values are specified for them. We consider the use of new dynamic set-membership filter using ellipsoids to solve the problem of determining the parameters of the relative motion of the NSC which is in free uncontrolled motion. The filter can be implemented under conditions of the limited computational capability available on onboard processors. The relative motion parameters include the distance vector between the centers of mass (c.m.) of the NSC and the SSC, the relative velocity vector, the quaternion of the orientation of the main axes of inertia of the satellite relative to the inertial coordinate system, the ratio of the moments of inertia of the satellite, the vector of the position of the NSC c.m. in the graphical coordinate system. The properties of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated using numerical simulation. The results obtained are expected to be used in the development, creation and testing of a navigation system for the rendezvous and docking of the SSC, developed by a group of Ukrainian space industry enterprises under the leadership of the LLC «Kurs-orbital» (https://kursorbital.com/).

The public–private partnership aims on a contractual basis to develop a property complex owned by the State by right. However, the influence of private business should not be underestimated, as it is often the initiative of private organizations in the desire to influence some problems in various spheres lead to effective interaction between the state and business. Investment is an integral part of public–private partnerships. Many people, despite the rapid steps forward of modern society, associate investment with very complex financial processes. Investment in its essence is a tool that benefits participants of investment cooperation.The subject of this study is the definition, on the basis of the theory of public–private partnership, of the main trends in PPPs in the world and in Russia. The authors substantiated that infrastructure, especially in the case of our country, is one of the key areas of PPP development, along with environmental conservation and balanced use of all types of resources. The world is constantly in motion, and many examples and experiences are currently irrelevant or questionable. We need to look at this issue from the experience of other countries and specific enterprises.

<p>This study evaluated the relevance of marketing research in unveiling the potentials of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in sub-Saharan Africa with conceptual evidence from Nigeria. The study attempted to paint the pictures of marketing research and SMEs within the context of entrepreneurial marketing scheme. The study also adopted schema theory, the cognitive scheme for processing and retrieving marketing information, as the underpinning theory for the study. The explanatory cross-sectional survey research design was adopted as the study guide. The population of the study is made up of all operators of SMEs in Nigeria. Using multi-stage sampling technique, 248 marketing research-oriented operators of SMEs were selected. A structured interview schedule, which contains a number of nominal construct items, was used as research instrument to generate primary data from respondents that cut across the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficients for all major constructs of the research instrument ranged between 0.73 and 0.81, while Average Variance Extracted (AVE) which further served as additional evidence of convergent validity also ranged from 0.842 to 0.865. Data generated were analyzed using basic descriptive statistics. The study revealed that the relevance of marketing research in unveiling the potentials of SMEs in sub-Saharan Africa can only be appreciated in the context of marketing function. Public relations and corporate affairs, human resource and personnel management, marketing and strategic management, as well as financial planning and technical development were conceptualized as the functional areas of business in which marketing research can easily be deployed to unveil the potentials of SMEs for optimal performance in sub-Saharan African region. The study concluded that some concerted efforts are needed to be made to reinvigorate the activities of the SMEs in sub-Saharan Africa. Marketing research, as amodern commercial tool, provides the required insights, direction and guide for optimized economic performance and sustainability of micro, small and medium scale enterprises in the region.</p>

This article starts with the analysis of the existing electronic commerce system, summarizes its characteristics, and analyzes and solves its existing problems. Firstly, the characteristics of the relational database My Structured Query Language (MySQL) and the distributed database HBase are analyzed, their respective advantages and disadvantages are summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of each are taken into account when storing data. My SQL is used to store structured business data in the system, while HBase is used to store unstructured data such as pictures. These two storage mechanisms together constitute a data storage subsystem. Secondly, considering the large amount of data in the e-commerce system and the complex calculation of the data mining algorithm, this paper uses MapReduce to realize the parallelization of the data mining algorithm and builds a Hadoop-based commodity recommendation subsystem on this basis. We use JavaEE technology to design a full-featured web mall system. Finally, based on the impact of cloud computing, mobile e-commerce is analyzed, including relevant theories, service mode, architecture, core technology, and the application in e-commerce, which can realize e-commerce precision marketing, find the optimal path of logistics, and take effective security measures to avoid transaction risks. This method can avoid the disadvantages of the traditional e-commerce, where large-scale data cannot be processed in a timely manner, realize the value of mining data behind, and realize the precision marketing of e-commerce enterprises.

Whether or not a society can be called ‘entrepreneurial’ depends in part on the legitimacy and esteem accorded to those who pursue the entrepreneurial route. Communities in which entrepreneurship can thrive create more jobs and wealth. Entrepreneurship foments the Schumpeterian process of creative destruction by which the new replaces the old. New opportunities are perceived, capitalized and converted into marketable products or services. Fresh competition in the free market economy and the breaking down of international borders will significantly influence new company formation and the underlying models of entrepreneurial motion. Ample opportunities for creativity and innovation are driving the move towards the formation of small businesses that from the start enter into a fast and high-growth phase – the so-called ‘entrepreneurial growth’ companies. Is there a distinctive role for education in enhancing entrepreneurial capacity bringing together entrepreneurial capacity and opportunities, and thus expanding local entrepreneurial activity in the form of entrepreneurial growth companies? In addressing this question, the paper first looks at two basic models of entrepreneurial motion – the small business model and the growth model – and then investigates the concepts of entrepreneurial learning and organizations for entrepreneurial education (the entrepreneurial universities). Entrepreneurial universities foster interaction and networking. They embed entrepreneurship in academic culture in order to achieve economic returns from the knowledge generated through research projects, empowered teams of teachers, students and business people, face-to-face and electronic relationships, and networked enterprises emerging from their spin-off activity. Finally, the paper identifies agents in the market and seed funds as instrumental organizations in the role of entrepreneurial universities. Endowed with high education and marketable skills, those agents support the new company in creating its own market. Seed funds provide risk-bearing capital and management support, which are complementary ingredients to money and intangible assets from the founder, family and friends.

Abstract Business intelligence and analytics are nowadays being integrated into diverse industries, from healthcare to customer relationship management and behavioral profiling, due to the competitive advantages that they offer. Nevertheless, most companies try to integrate as many forms of business intelligence systems as possible into different internal processes. This overall digitization applied to more and more business departments is being analyzed with both curiosity and reluctance. The decision regarding the implementation of innovative forms of automation is taken in an attempt to discover and solve business challenges. However, there are several issues involved, which need to be addressed. One of the risks that are being discussed in the research environment refers to the level of acceptance of artificial intelligence systems. The tolerance and overall readiness of the consumers towards innovation and technology is one of the critical factors which need to be determined before implementing disruptive business intelligence systems. Moreover, in an effort to make devices friendlier to consumers, some developers chose to assign anthropomorphic appearances and even create individual identities for each artificial intelligence system. In this context, it is important for most companies investing in intelligent automation systems to determine to which extend the use of anthropomorphic designs impacts the customer’s perception. The objective of this research paper is to analyze the unconscious reaction of consumers towards two opposite designs of artificial intelligence systems: a robotic-like form and a human-like design. Based on this difference, a photo collage was created figuring two pictures: one with a metallic robot having a conversation with a human being and one with a robot with a strong anthropomorphic figure found in the same situation. For the analysis, an eye tracking device was used, in order to measure the point of gaze, the unconscious motion of the eyes, along with the time spent on each fixation and the order in which different elements were fixated upon by the respondents. As the eye-tracking device can generate data in various forms, this research includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the results, which confirm the same hypothesis, regarding the consumer’s preference towards artificial intelligence systems with robotic designs.

This paper examines the issue of loans obtained by the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from banks through the mortgage inventory of goods. And the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio which affects the loan business is a very critical factor. In this paper, we provide a general framework to determine a bank’s optimal loan-to-value (LTV) ratio when we consider the collateral value in the financial market with Knightian uncertainty. We assume that the short-term prices of the collateral follow a geometric Brownian motion. We use a set of equivalent martingale measures to build the models about a bank’s maximum and minimum levels of risk tolerance in an environment with Knightian uncertainty. The models about the LTV ratios are established with the bank’s maximum and minimum risk preferences. Applying backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), we get the explicit solutions of the models. Applying the explicit solutions, we can obtain an interval solution for the optimal LTV ratio. Our numerical analysis shows that the LTV ratio in the Knightian uncertainty-neutral environment belongs to the interval solutions derived from the models.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to redesign the layout of production floor by considering lean manufacturing in order to eliminate the waste and using Block Layout Overview with Layout Planning (BLOCPLAN) algorithm to attain new layout of facilities in Indonesian home-food industry. Design/methodology/approach The common problems that might be appearing in home-food industry, especially in the developing countries like Indonesia are unstandardized production process and unorganized work environment which could produce the waste. One of many solutions to handle this problem is improving the work area (work station) in production floor by rearranging and designing standard operating procedure (SOP) by using lean manufacturing concept. The initial data to minimize the waste is motion time study (data) to identify production standard time. The next step is identifying the common waste(s). Meanwhile, the production floor layout used in this research is designed by using BLOCPLAN algorithm. Findings The recommendation of shop floor facility layout is based on identified waste, which is excess transportation. Subsequently, standard operational procedure (SOP) is developed to support the recommended facility layout as the reference for cookie production process so it can minimize the waste. Research limitations/implications Lean concept is one of method that is widely implemented to reduce the occurrence of defective products and waste that do not provide added value. Based on previous researches, it was found that the concept of lean manufacturing can be applied in various types of service and manufacturing industries, both large companies and small and medium enterprises. Home-food industry competition nowadays is getting intense. This condition makes the stakeholders (of home-food industry, especially in Indonesia) need high performance and productivity to keep their business stable in winning the competition. The new layout can reduce the disadvantages of actual condition. Practical implications This research is useful for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia especially for home-food industry. The BLOCPLAN layout (as the recommendation) has displacement moment with reduction of 40 percent. Social implications This research believed that it can help SMEs improve their productivity in producing cake and cookies in terms of better layout which can reduce worker movement and standardized working procedure. The design of the production facility layout is a method used to rearrange the production process area so that the distance between processes can be minimized. SOPs was provided as the direction and supervision of workers to work according to standards. Originality/value SOP design can support recommended layout as the reference on making the cake (product) to eliminate wastes, which are motion/movement (alternating in production process flow) and long waiting time due to process delays.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the applicability of lean construction (LC) concepts and tools in necessary, but non-value-added activities (NVAA) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The application of the lean tools in this way facilitates the flow of information and handling material, improving productivity, quality and performance. Finally, practical results motivate a discussion on the real potential of LC principles and on the challenges related to its implementation. Design/methodology/approach The methodology makes use of direct involvement in the environment under study. Some of the activities performed were the value stream mapping and time and motion studies of the company’s process selected, identification of wastes and the proposition of improvements to be implemented. Findings The main findings are related to the benefits of the application of LC not only in value-added activities but in activities that can influence the development and workforce planning, especially for SME businesses. This company should be able to achieve better management decisions and results after implementing the LC principles, overcoming the limited resources. Originality/value This proposed method helps in overcoming the lack of systematic procedures, enabling LC in activities that not add value properly. It has the advantage of integrating existing tools and models effectively, which not only improve the shortcomings of the conventional methods but also result in more convenient calculation and application.

Making a great television commercial is an art in itself. Twenty years ago, there was no official available information about the steps to follow to prepare a TV commercial throughout all phases. The main reason for that knowledge gap is that the old method used was based on multiple agencies and vendors working on the same campaign, so the single groups do not have to know everything; they just needed to understand their own role and responsibility. In the last years, video production and post-production industries are changing very fast. Digital retooling is taking place, causing dramatic industry restructuring. The old player’s large post-production facilities using dedicated, proprietary equipment are being replaced by new players, small production companies, using personal computers to produce a different type of production media with the same professional result, at a lower cost. Nowadays, the significant reduction of video production costs, the more and more disappearing barriers to access video, as well as brands looking to spend less and get more has forced many advertisers to renounce to big agencies. Actually, with the new technology decreasing the cost of cameras and computers is possible to produce a TV commercial in all its phases (starting from concept, writing, production, and post-production (including animation and compositing) to final video), with a small group of professionals. The one-stop-shop is becoming a growing business model. Many creative artist and directors from big agencies have resigned to establish their own production companies, and groups of talented young people are constantly gathering from all over the world. This study will help to understand the structure and workflow of producing a TV commercial, starting from the copywriting stage until the final product, and passing through the classical production steps of cinematography and motion pictures, such as pre-production, production and post-production, understanding and analyzing every significant step of structure until the initial written concept will become a motion image. In order to reach the objective of this study, I read and reviewed several books and web materials on different topics about stages of the production, planning, budgeting, shooting and editing, equipment and techniques, communication and documentation.

Micro, small and medium enterprises have an important role in supporting the national economy. They need to be supported to be able to compete globally. This study aims to design a banana chip slicer machine by considering the ergonomics of the research partners. The object of the research is the process of banana slicing done by a banana chips maker located in Kediri Regency, East Java Province. The Business actors have been running their business since 2010 with 10 employees. Slicing is one of the key processes which determines the product quality in the manufacturing of banana chips. The problem that occurs in the object of observation is that the chopping is done manually, carried out with the same movements, and repeatedly, takes a long time to cause musculoskeletal disorders, namely impaired function of the muscles, joints, and spine. The problem that occurs in the object of observation is that the slicing was done manually for a long time, carried out with the same repeated movements, causing cause musculoskeletal disorders, namely impaired function of the muscles, joints, and spine. In addition, workers must be trained and precise in slicing bananas to get the same thickness. Slicing is done on a wood-fueled pawon stove which interferes with breathing. Furthermore, the slicing movements must be carried out as quickly as possible which can result in injury to the hands and their muscles. In the current condition, the research results showed a high RULA value, namely 6. Optimization was successfully carried out with two schemes. The first scheme used a slicing machine design using arm support and repetitive motion. While the second scheme used a slicing machine design with arm support and intermittent movement. The simulation of the two schemes showed a decrease in RULA value from 6 to 2, which means the process is acceptable and safe for workers.

With the rapid development of AI (artificial intelligence) in recent years, AI has been widely used in the image processing of iron tailings. The main component of iron tailings is silica, which is the most difficult part of the iron tailing composition to fuse. Therefore, the melting behavior of iron tailings can be characterized by the melting behavior of silica. First of all, in the actual production process, the temperature of the high-temperature furnace exceeds 1500 °C, which leads to a short service life of the conventional testing equipment. A line array CCD (charge coupled device) camera system with amplification effect was used to acquire data on silica in a high-temperature melt pool in a non-contact manner. The corundum crucible position is fixed, which can be used to establish a two-dimensional coordinate system to reproduce the object’s motion pattern to solve the problem of the short service life of conventional inspection equipment. The color and wobble problems generated by the Rift Valley CCD system when taking pictures need to be corrected for accurate image processing. Secondly, the change in the center-of-mass position of silica during melting was studied using the temporal images of silica in a high-temperature melt pool, and the edge contour features were extracted from the silica images and filled inside the contours, from which the mass, area and perimeter were obtained. Finally, the volume change of silica in the time series image is calculated after eliminating the effect of background factors, and the 2D image is constructed into a 3D image. We built a SFS (shape from shading) model according to the lighting conditions, and the actual melting rate of silica is calculated accordingly. According to the model calculation results, it can be seen that with the change in time, silica surface area under heat gradually decreases, then the silica melting rate gradually decreases; among them, the faster melting rate is about 0.007 cubic millimeter/second, and the slower melting rate is about 0.0015 cubic millimeter/second. Data support was provided for the blast furnace slag direct fiber formation process. The introduction of the algorithmic model into the actual production process has certain advantages. Therefore, the SFS model established in this paper has some practical value and is worth promoting in related enterprises.

This study seeks the best economic returns of a company’s sustainable business process, employs the Triple Bottom Line Model using the Global 100 Index as the decision variable, and follows the Geometric Brownian Motion, so as to determine the optimal timing for the input of environmental and social costs. The results of the sensitivity analysis show that when the average growth rate of the Global 100 Index is low, the optimal timing for the company’s input of environmental costs and social costs can be obtained. Analysis of the numerical example shows that, based on the financial value of the economic factor, companies should invest in environmental costs as soon as possible. This study replaces the conventional net present value model with the options evaluation model, uses the Global 100 Index as the threshold for decision-making evaluation to provide a more complete decision-making evaluation reference for enterprises, and makes up for the gap in recent research regarding investment time and decision variables. The study results introduce potential strategic value evaluations into the evaluation model of long-term uncertain sustainable operation value, which is more appropriate for the evaluation of the real sustainable operation value. It also provides implementation strategies for decision-makers to mitigate risks under uncertain environments and is the major difference and value of the Real Options Approach (ROA) to supplement Net Present Value (NPV) principles. The results of this study provide a reference for the sustainable development decision-making of corporate sustainability and feasibility and offer an important link in the value chain of food industry operations and management.
