PT Pindad (Persero) as one of national manufacturing industry in Indonesia has been initiated related programs for the last few years. Starting year of 2020, the industry have implemented new transformation on energy and environmental preservation program, which also simultaneously conducted in community development area. This paper mainly discussed about activity in the industry, consist of energy efficiency and responsible resource consumption to reduce waste emitted to the environment, taking into account the life cycle thinking. Results shows that life cycle thinking of the Weapons Division consist of Design, Development, Manufacture, and Assembling activity, have potential impact in wastewater toxicity and air emission. This impact somehow drives the industry to reports the improvement program comprehensively, mainly in manufacturing area. Moreover, in the same objectives to spread environmental concern, the industry also conducted ex-situ conservation and land rehabilitation, while also develop awareness on environmental, safety, and health aspect to the long-run community empowerment.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122352202","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}

As such, traditional chemical enterprises are impacted by technological and digital innovation. Besides, increasing competitive pressure has led many enterprises to shift their production to focus onto low-cost areas. Therefore, it is critical if enterprises can continue to survive with sustainable developments by improving business profits. To this end, this study has explored the business model development of a chemical company. The business model comprises of customer value proposition, key resources, key processes and profit model. The study aims to appreciate the business model development, strategic choice, and future trend of the case from the initial stage, innovation stage, and to expansion stage. As found in the study, the case that triggers the development of its business models has placed emphasis on the key resources and key processes in the initial stage. In the innovation stage, the case that emphasizes profit orientation has created and upheld high profits as well as rapid growth and innovation. Finally, the case that stresses customer value proposition has strived towards the goal of factory integration and profit sharing in the expansion stage.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129157222","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}

Many have explored and enacted chain store entry barriers in response, but how such regulations affect mom-and-pop businesses is still largely debated. The impact of chain store entry barriers on independent businesses is likely to vary by the characteristics of the local economy, a consideration overlooked by existing studies. Using a sample of U.S. cities with unique community character, we examine the effect of Formula Business Restrictions (FBR), a type of an American land use regulation that restricts the entry of “formula businesses,” defined as businesses offering and utilizing a standardized set of merchandise, services, and design. We find that the passage of FBR led to higher number and percentage of employees working in mom-and-pop businesses. This positive effect occurred over time with increasing magnitude. We also find that FBR had heterogeneous effects on different industry groups. For example, FBR had strong positive effects on retail mom-and-pop stores, but not on the service sector. Lastly, we show that FBR helped mom-and-pop businesses primarily by protecting existing ones from downsizing. These findings suggest that chain store entry barriers can be beneficial for independent businesses located in small towns with unique community character, but policymakers must be cautious of its varying effects on different industry groups.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130332298","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}

Venezuela as Gas and oil producing country is characterized as uniquely capital intensive as a result of the significant monetary support and economic activity required as investments to make endeavors technically and commercially successful. The importance of foreign investments in facilitating development in the hydrocarbon industry in its state, underscores the significance of the establishment of a stable, transparent and efficient legal regime for promoting and protecting these investments. This paper will analyze the history of Venezuela exploration, development and production of oil and gas including analysis of legal regime through an examination of the interplay between the different elements of national legislation, contractual agreements and international treaties and unique regimes compared to other countries.

An institutional solution should ensure that adaptive adjustments to technological development also remain economically feasible. Current approaches are developed from a technical point of view. However, solutions which are technologically viable are not necessarily also economically successful. Previous market implementation strategies like isolated market implementation by companies or operators will not sustainably secure the economic success of C2X-systems; the complexity of C2X-systems attaches a considerable risk of insolvency to isolated market introductions. Also, organizational structures of operators are too inflexible to solve potential conflicts between the shareholders. With that, the required agility to cope with changes in demand and the technological innovation process cannot be achieved. Institutional Role Models overcome the weaknesses of traditional operational and organizational provision concepts. Result of this assessment is a matrix, which illustrates and enables the conceptual deviation of an institutional role model. In essence, all economic roles (business management, data collection, data processing, human resource management, financial management and controlling) and relevant market phases (research and development, growth, maturity, stagnation/regression, and recovery/ramp-up) are identified. For each involved institution, the individual role performance can be determined holistically and neutrally.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129351788","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}

This will help to explore the strategies that enhance service delivery in public hospitals, establish factors that influence service delivery in public hospitals, evaluate measures that have been undertaken to improve service delivery in public hospitals, determine challenges faced in improving service delivery in public hospitals and recommend strategies for improving service delivery in public hospitals. Literature has shown that service delivery has been least reflected on by researchers in public hospitals, and efforts to improve service delivery in public hospitals were mainly centred on regulations and benchmarking against practices adopted in developed countries. Therefore, an empirical assessment of service delivery in the Zimbabwean hospitals will greatly contribute to understanding the service delivery dimensions, which could bring efficiency and sustainability to the hospital threatened by economic challenges. The population of this study constituted of 100 employees from Banket Hospital. A sample of 80 was chosen from Banket hospital using random sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire based on a five-point Likert-type scale. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 was adopted for data analysis in which both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The major findings were that there are some factors which influence service delivery in public hospitals such as management interference in administration and inadequate alignment of budget with the requirements of the central government. The study has also shown that Banket hospital has attempted to educate all stakeholders as a measure which have been undertaken to improve service delivery in public hospitals. Strategies to improve service delivery in public hospitals are suggested, with some managerial and theoretical implications being highlighted. The study recommended that hospitals should put in place reforms to improve service delivery.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126281406","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 assess this claim by studying the effect of a national merger between two large Dutch supermarket chains on prices and on the depth as well as composition of assortment. We adopt a difference-in-differences strategy that exploits local variation in the merger’s effects, controlling for selection on observables when defining our control group through a matching procedure. We show that the local change in competitive conditions due to the merger did not affect individual products’ prices but it led the merging parties to reposition their assortment and increase average category prices. While the low-variety and low-price target’s stores reduced the depth of their assortment when in direct competition with the acquirer’s stores, the latter increased their product variety. By analyzing the effect of the merger on category prices, we find that the target most likely dropped high priced products, while the acquirer added more of them. Thus, the merging firms reposition their product offerings in order to avoid cannibalization and lessen local competition. Further, we show that other dimensions of heterogeneity, such as market concentration, whether a divestiture was imposed by the Dutch competition authority, and the re-branding strategy of the target stores, are important for explaining the post-merger dynamics. A simple theoretical model of local-market variety competition explains most of our findings.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129733693","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}

This paper proposes a new context, in terms of both geographic region and type of pollution, to measure the economic costs associated with climate change. We provide large-scale evidence of the economic impacts of dust storms in Iran by estimating the effect of random year-to-year variation in dust exposure on manufacturing firm productivity. Dust storms deposit in regions that are far away from their points of origin, providing a unique framework in which emissions have no interaction with local economies. Using data collected from a decade of dust storms at on-the-ground weather stations, and firm data provided by Iran’s Census of Industrial Plants, we find that firms with higher exposure to dust emission exhibit negative productivity responses: one additional day of dust storm in a year results in a decline in productivity of about 0.081%, an amount equivalent to $149 million across all firms or 0.04% of GDP of Iran. The negative impact of these storms intensifies as the outdoor area and labor size of a plant increase; the primary mitigating factors are wind speed and access to reliable transportation networks (railroad). Our estimates are robust to multiple specification checks and are precise. The analysis of the mechanisms suggests that productivity declines mainly due to adverse impacts of dust storms on the health of the workers and to disruptions in access to input and output markets. Our paper highlights the significant spillover of environmental emissions across countries with drivers that can be traced back to climate change and political unrest in the region which has hindered multiple anti-desertification projects.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132832784","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}
