In other words, can the managerial tools of business logistics be used in humanitarian relief logistics?Design/methodology/approach – A combination of grounded research and case‐based research methods is used. Grounded research methods involve coding interview data to enable constant comparison of the data with emerging categories. Three managerial representatives of a single case organisation, the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), are interviewed.Findings – MCC is a small NFP organisation operating in interrupted environments. As a matter of strategy, it pursues economic and social objectives. Strategic partnerships with “like‐minded” organisations are critical to achieve these objectives. To assess its achievements, MCC needs a wide range of performance measures.Research limitations/...","PeriodicalId":325346,"journal":{"name":"Management Research News","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130996901","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}

Case study research methodology is used and observations and findings are discussed within the research model in order to answer predefined hypotheses.Findings – Regarding planning procedures, as well as how the maintenance concept and spare parts inventory are set up, the research concludes that the organizational structure and governance of the organization contributing to the humanitarian operation in question are more important than physical context of the operation itself.

For example, annual disasters in 2000-2004 were 55 per cent higher than between 1995 and 1999. The number of people affected by natural disasters has also increased, 33 per cent more between 2000 and 2004 compared to the 1995 to 1999 period (CRED, 2008). By the same token, the developing scenario of world food shortages that has started to appear in 2007-2008 is creating increasing demand for humanitarian relief and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has estimated that 100million extra people will require food aid in 2008 alone. Furthermore, as world stocks of major food commodities such as wheat, rice and soya continue to diminish, greater pressure will be put on aid supply chains as future emergencies arise. The scale of such increases underlines the importance of the increased attention that is being given to emergency relief response operations (IFRC, 2005; Fritz Institute, 2005; Balcik and Beamon, 2008).","PeriodicalId":325346,"journal":{"name":"Management Research News","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114625092","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}

Interview and survey data were collected. SPSS 15.0 for Windows was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics such as means, frequencies, Mann‐Whitney U test and chi‐square tests were calculated.Findings – The results reveal that first comers are more willing to engage in private complaining actions such as negotiation and worth‐of‐mouth comments and telling friends and family about their bad experiences compared to loyal customers. Our major findings indicate that even if a first comer does not complain, this does not mean that the person is satisfied.

The challenges facing human resource management (HRM) practitioners in Vietnam are identified and discussed. Design/methodology/approach - A survey of middle and senior managers combined with organisational visits with selected HR managers, CEOs and other senior Vietnamese managers produced the data analysed in this paper. Findings - The findings suggest that the character of HRM appears to be influenced by not only the cultural context but also the organisational type. Broadly, SOEs still largely practice traditional personnel management, IJVs practice cost-focused HRM and private firms experiment with a range of innovations in HRM. Research limitations/implications - The paper reveals emerging trends in HRM in Vietnam and identifies the pragmatic use of HR practices, which are influenced by organisational types as well as cultural contexts. Originality/value - This paper adds to the emerging literature on management practice in developing countries. In particularit makes a contribution to understanding HR practices in Vietnam and highlights the important but often overlooked role of Vietnamese companies in the growing private sector.","PeriodicalId":325346,"journal":{"name":"Management Research News","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133584199","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}
