In such case, agile supply chain is created. An agile retail supply chain is able to take a competent method to show prompt response to changes made in work environment, so that important parameters of retail supply chain such as distribution cost and economic saving and distribution time don't go beyond authorized limit. In order to respond to demands of customers, the amount of order to suppliers, time and the production rate to prevent long delivery times, multiple decision making points, non-transparent information among departments and least coordination need decision support system. This study is aimed at presenting a decision support system to design retail supply chain with the purpose of improvement of agility level and flexibility of whole chain. To this end, multi-objective mathematical model has been presented for integration of management decisions to improve agility and flexibility level in frame of a decision support system. In order to design software structure, an integrated model is designed using optimization and decision making methods. Using this model can improve the existing status in every manufacturing organization such as Saipa Corporation as case study.","PeriodicalId":209134,"journal":{"name":"HRN Business - English Papers (Topic)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123690952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on two key components of information contained in the messages – information about the sender’s purchase status prior to referral, and information about the existence of referral rewards – and their impacts on the recipient’s purchase decision and further referral behavior. In collaboration with an online daily deal platform we design and conduct a large scale randomized field experiment to identify the effect of each message component, as well as the interaction effects between them, in creating social contagion. We find that small variations in message content can have a significant impact on both recipient’s purchase and referral behaviors. Specifically, we find that i) adding only information about the sender’s purchase status increases the likelihood of recipients’ purchase, but has no impact on follow-up referrals; ii) adding only information about referral reward increases recipients’ follow-up referrals, but has no impact on purchase likelihood; and iii) adding information about both the sender’s purchase as well as information about the referral rewards increases neither the likelihood of purchase or follow-up referrals. The study also examines the underlying mechanisms driving social contagion by exploiting the rich heterogeneity in product, recipient, sender and social tie characteristics. The findings of the study provide valuable guidelines for optimal design of messages at the aggregate as well as at a more granular level.","PeriodicalId":209134,"journal":{"name":"HRN Business - English Papers (Topic)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121874043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A longitudinal semi-native ethnography of automatic processing plants and their parent inter-kibbutz cooperatives by a management-educated ex-manager untangled the dysfunctional rule of outsider executives who concealed their ignorance by detachment from knowledgeable employees or/and by seductive-coercive control. Both practices retained ignorance by vicious distrust cycles of secrecy, mistakes, and failures, but total failures blocked vulnerably involved mid-level managers whose vulnerable involvement created high-trust local cultures through virtuous trust and learning cycles. Successes empowered them, so that ignorant superiors, who felt threatened, suppressed them, and they left. New outsider replacements were recruited, opted for CMI, failed, and replaced by new knowledgeable outsiders who succeeded, were empowered, and suppressed, and so on; this seesawed prolonged rule by dysfunctional ignorant executives. CMI by outsiders was found to be widespread, supporting the critique of distant leadership and the premise of managerial knowledge portability. The findings point to the potential of ethnographying executives missed by anthropologists and the need for studies of distrustful practices, while in practice offering new yardsticks for assessing candidates for executive jobs.","PeriodicalId":209134,"journal":{"name":"HRN Business - English Papers (Topic)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134576494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence from Israel’s Transition from Quarterly to Monthly Surveys","authors":"Haggay Etkes","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2512840","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2512840","url":null,"abstract":"This study provides evidence for the impact of monthly interviews conducted for the Israeli Labor Force Surveys (LFSs) on estimated flows between Labor Force (LF) statuses and on coefficients in fixed-effects estimations. The study uses the natural experiment of parallel interviews for the quarterly and the monthly LFSs in Israel in 2011 for demonstrating that the Labor Force Participation (LFP) rate of Jewish persons who participated in the monthly LFS increased between interviews, while in the quarterly LFS it decreased. Interestingly, the estimated impact on the LFP rate of self-reporting individuals is 2.6-3.5 percentage points while the impact on the LFP rate of individuals whose data was reported by another member of their household (a proxy), is lower and statistically insignificant. The relative increase of the LFP rate in the monthly survey is a result of a lower rate of exit from the LF and a somewhat higher rate of entry into the LF relative to these flows in the quarterly survey. These differing flows have a bearing on labor search models as the monthly survey portrays a labor market with less friction and a “steady state” LFP rate that is 5.9 percentage points higher than the quarterly survey. The study also demonstrates that monthly interviews affect a specific group (45-64 year-olds); thus the sign of coefficient of age as an explanatory variable in fixed-effects regressions on LFP is negative in the monthly survey and positive in the quarterly survey.","PeriodicalId":209134,"journal":{"name":"HRN Business - English Papers (Topic)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121824760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
