This book was released on 1999-08-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics is a corporate-focused analysis that brings clarity and practicality to the complex issues of environmental metrics in industry. The book examines the metrics implications to businesses as their responsibilities expand beyond the factory gateâ€"upstream to suppliers and downstream to products and services. It examines implications that arise from greater demand for comparability of metrics among businesses by the investment community and environmental interest groups. The controversy over what sustainable development means for businesses is also addressed. Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics identifies the most useful metrics based on case studies from four industriesâ€"automotive, chemical, electronics, and pulp and paperâ€"and includes specific corporate examples. It contains goals and recommendations for public and private sector players interested in encouraging the broader use of metrics to improve industrial environmental performance and those interested in addressing the tough issues of prioritization, weighting of metrics for meaningful comparability, and the longer term metrics needs presented by sustainable development.

Download or read book Corporate Power and the Market written by Alan Listiak and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is an examination of the sociological debate over the nature of corporate power and the market for consumer goods in modern society. Two sociological theoretical positions, the pluralist/functionalist and the elite/class, are compared and contrasted with respect to this issue. A conception of meta-power is developed. These conceptions are critically tested by applying them to the automobile industry and the development of the meanings and design of the automobile, in particular, the controversial meanings and designs associated with those non-transportation themes subsumed under the notion of "performance." The focus is the development of high performance cars, in particular the "muscle car" or "super car" designs that were marketed in the mid-1960s even in the face of mounting criticism regarding the horsepower race, energy consumption, pollution, and safety. It was found that hot rodding functioned as a complementary behavior pattern which was selectively incorporated and supported by the industry in the 1950s and 1960s. Without this support and without the increasingly powerful automobiles provided by the industry, hot rodding would not have developed into the market or the spectacular sport it has. The performance market of the 1960s is thus a structured outcome of the industry's actions in the 1950s to develop and incorporate hot rod themes. This dissertation shows the utility of the conception of power in terms of meta-power and relational control. The emphasis on structural variables and interaction systems provides a sociological orientation to power that is missing in the predominant approaches to power. As such, it is able to comprehend situations as involving the exercise of power which would not be considered as such by the traditional approach. This enables the terms of reference to be expanded and a more adequate representation of social reality to be comprehended in sociological analysis.

This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 75.00, , course: Doctor of Philosophy, language: English, abstract: In this research, SCM practices in automobile industry in India were a descriptive cum analytical research. It needs an understandable specification of who (automobile companies in India), what (SCM practices – SRM, CRM, LM and ICT), when (until year 2019), why (found gaps) and way (survey- questionnaire, F2F Interview, through email) of the research. The figure-50 has shown the brief research design of the study. During the literature review, it was found that Indian automobile companies were not able to minimize their supply chain cost effectively & efficiently and there were gaps in expectations (agreement) and perception (adoption) level of SCM practice. To understand and analyses these gaps, this research was carried out. Indian automotive industry (Both automobile & components) contributes almost 7.5% of total GDP and one of the biggest job creator sectors directly or indirectly. India is gradually taking the lead and growing its global competition. India is lagging behind in terms of commercial vehicle production if we compare it globally, therefore, it needs more focus, collaborations and investment to catch up the market share at global space. SCM contributes to overall value creation for any organization including automobile and hence firms are focusing on strengthening their supply chains more efficient and competitive. Current supply chains are facing multiple disruptions like Covid-19 pandemic, technological disruptions like 3D Printing, IoT, AI/machine learning, internet things such as movable machine (robots) for warehouse operation, etc. and challenges such as visibility, cost reduction, innovation, supplier relationship, customer relationship, risk management, security & safety in logistics, ICT infrastructure, and customer expectations.
