Analysing critical success factors to implement sustainable supply chain practices in Indian automobile industry: a case study

The aim of this article is to analyse the critical success factors (CSFs) behind the successful implementation of sustainable supply chain practices in Indian automobile industry. Supply chain sustainability is a critical and timely topic for the developing country like India that captures increasing concerns over sustainability, whether driven by current legislation, public interest or competitive opportunity. Identification of CSFs responsible for sustainable supply chain practices and evaluating their contextual relationships has the potential to affect future government policy, current production operations and identify new business models. In response to this, this paper intends to identify CSFs based on organisational theory and model them to implement sustainable supply chain practices in Indian automobile industry. Twenty-five CSFs to implement sustainable supply chain practices based on organisational theory are recognised by means of the literature review and in discussions with experts in one case study organisation. A solution methodology based on the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique is used to propose a structural model, which not only helps in understanding the contextual relationship among these CSFs, but also in determining their interdependence to implement sustainable supply chain practices. Further, the importance of CSFs has been determined based on their driving and dependence power using MICMAC analysis. Our overarching thesis is that the insights gained are useful for Indian automobile industry and would help practitioners, regulators and academicians to focus their efforts towards implementation of sustainable supply chain practices.     

Interstitial Lung Diseases in the U.S. Mining Industry: Using MSHA Data to Examine Trends and the Prevention Effects of Compliance with Health Regulations, 1996–2015

Given the recent increase in dust‐induced lung disease among U.S. coal miners and the respiratory hazards encountered across the U.S. mining industry, it is important to enhance an understanding of lung disease trends and the organizational contexts that precede these events. In addition to exploring overall trends reported to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), the current study uses MSHA's enforcement database to examine whether or not compliance with health regulations resulted in fewer mine‐level counts of these diseases over time. The findings suggest that interstitial lung diseases were more prevalent in coal mines compared to other mining commodities, in Appalachian coal mines compared to the rest of the United States, and in underground compared to surface coal mines. Mines that followed a relevant subset of MSHA's health regulations were less likely to report a lung disease over time. The findings are discussed from a lung disease prevention strategy perspective.     

房价变动、产业转移与区域协调发展——以京津冀地区为例

构建房价-资本模型，分析房地产行业投资收益对工业再投资的影响，发现：地区间适当的房地产行业投资收益差异有利于工业企业从核心地区向边缘地区转移，差异较大则导致资本流向房价增长过快地区的房地产行业；若地区间房地产行业投资收益差异既定，较大的经济发展差距对产业转移起阻碍作用，激烈的市场竞争则起促进作用。利用京津冀地区13个城市的数据构建面板门限模型，验证了：（1）较低的房价增长率促进了北京市相对低效的资本向外转移，但是北京市与周边地区较大的经济发展差距又阻碍了该趋势。（2）核心区流出的资本优先向次发达地区转移，而落后地区则有被彻底边缘化的风险。为实现京津冀地区协调发展，一方面要加强对京津冀地区房价的宏观调控、防止房价过快增长；另一方面要制定针对边缘地区的优惠政策，引导非首都功能向周边转移。

关于直销人员人性变异的若干思考

根据直销人员人性变异的现状，分别从宏观、微观环境及个人内在原因三方面进行分析，认为要想从根本上改变这种现象，政府不应该仅仅是简单的管控，更重要是的疏导，才可以有效防范直销人员人性变异的事情继续蔓延，最终引领中国直销业逐步走向健康发展之路。     

京津冀钢铁物流园空间布局建模与实现

针对国家京津冀协同发展战略思想,主要分析了交通、环保和产业升级转移等三大领域的影响及作用;指出钢铁物流园在分为单源钢铁物流园和多源钢铁物流园的基础上,以总运输成本最小化为目标,引入固定运输成本、变动运输成本与运距的关系,分别构建了2种钢铁物流园的空间布局模型;并设计出了模型向实际应用转换的基于EXCEL地图的动态演示模型以及相应的转换途径和算法,以期在新的格局下,为京津冀钢铁物流园空间布局建模与实现提供实施办法.     

中国信息服务业集聚及其影响因素

以信息服务业集聚为研究对象,首先介绍了其整体发展状况,然后选取2004—2013年29省市的面板数据,以生产要素、区位因素、空间因素、政府因素和国际环境5个要素为立足点,构建了个体固定效应模型和误差修正后的长期和短期均衡模型,通过模型的对比,分析了产业聚集理论对信息服务业聚集的影响。结果显示:无论是短期还是长期,人力资本和对外开放水平对信息服务业集聚均具有显著影响,且人力资本的系数最大;信息化水平和城市规模在长期对信息服务业集聚影响显著;政府扶持力度仅在短期促进信息服务业集聚,长期影响效果不大。     

精准帮扶与社会治理路径研究 ——基于贵州肇兴侗寨旅游产业帮扶的扎根分析

于贵州肇兴侗寨旅游产业帮扶的扎根分析,精准帮扶可以有效促进少数民族村寨的社会治理。对于通过旅游产业推动精准帮扶来实现社会治理的民族村寨而言,政府、农户、产业、社区、游客五个因素,任何一个因素在帮扶过程中,一旦出现问题,就有可能导致矛盾纠纷不利于社会治理。这些问题包括：政策操作难度（政府因素）、农户自身问题（农户因素）、不同发展基础（产业因素）、管理方法不足（社区因素）、不当游览行为（游客因素）。有针对性地构建基于精准帮扶的社会治理路径,需要综合考虑转变方式、扶贫反思、全局平衡、尊重理解、治安管理五个方面。     

供应链视角的连锁加盟商企业社会责任实现机制研究 ——餐饮服务业多案例比较分析

随着供给侧结构性改革的推进,连锁体系作为一种特殊的供应链结构类型受到越来越多的重视,提高商业的连锁化率并加强连锁体系管理成为推动中小企业有效履行社会责任和增加有效供给的重要途径.在构建了供应链中小企业社会责任实现机制分析框架的基础上,围绕准入管理、利益分配、沟通与信任、绩效考评与监督、知识转移等方面,对连锁体系管理机制的特殊性及其与连锁加盟商社会责任实现机制的关系进行了研究.进而,通过餐饮服务业连锁体系多案例比较分析,进一步剖析了连锁体系管理机制形成及加盟商社会责任实现的影响因素.案例研究表明,连锁总部的社会责任意识、社会责任管理能力和连锁体系成熟度影响着连锁体系社会责任的整体绩效实现和加盟商的社会责任实现;连锁总部应从特许加盟协议、培训、督导、标准化、人员外派等方面完善其管理机制.
