Research paper thumbnail of Failure-to-service may lead industrial business to bankruptcy: drivers and ways to mitigate them

Service can help such companies to diversify their offerings, avoiding commoditization as well as increasing operational results. However, failures in the service process may generate significant negative impacts on these organizations. This case study investigates the drivers that contributed to the failure in service delivery in the industrial organization. Such drivers ultimately bankrupted the profit organization. The article uses the qualitative exploratory methodology and a unique, in-depth case study. The findings reveal the following drivers: assigning the operation to inexperienced employees; lack of ability to implement organizational needs; organizational alignment; and knowledge of how to disable complex operations. Also, the study contributes to the construction of a framework to mitigate such drivers. The framework is structure...

O grupo foi composto por oito sedentarios, com 57,6 ± 4,9 anos.O programa de EF foi constituido de exercicio aerobio ou resistido com pesos realizados tres vezes por semana. Foram coletados dados referentes as variaveis antropometricas e bioquimicas antes, apos 6 e 12 semanas do programa de EF. A glicemia capilar foi verificada antes e apos uma das sessoes semanais de EF. Nenhuma das variaveis morfologicas demonstraram alteracoes significativas, embora o somatorio das dobras cutâneas e o percentual de gordura corporal tenham apresentado tendencia a menores valores, apos o programa de EF. A unica variavel bioquimica que apresentou efeito do treinamento foi a HDL.

The research uses the method of systematic literature review through a review of articles using the Atlas.ti 8 software, it performs network analysis for classification by area and grouping by similarities, analyzing the aspects proposed in the objective of the study. Through investigation, it offers theoretical and practical contributions. First, it provides a comprehensive view of how DSR has been applied in research, identifying problem classes, artifacts, and classification areas in Industrial Engineering. Similarly, it contributes to a research agenda to replicate the method in emerging areas.

Research paper thumbnail of Industry-retail symbiosis: What we should know to reduce perishable processed food disposal for a wider circular economy

The findings contribute by revealing a paradox and a symbiosis that can advance the circular economy (CE). This paradox begins when suppliers reduce their own food disposal by offering benefits to supermarkets, which helps to sell items close to their expiration date. However, these benefits may induce supermarkets to place orders that exceed their sales capacity. When supermarkets do not sell these items before their expiration date, the products tend to be returned to the supplier, thus reducing the supermarket's waste but increasing the supplier's waste. These actions reveal a paradox: reducing PPFD in one link of the supply chain may exacerbate it in another. “Industry-Retail symbiosis” can improve the CE. Such symbiosis emerges when suppliers reduce their margins to offer additional benefits to supermarkets. These additional benefits improve supermarkets' sales to consumers with lower purchasing power or to smaller retailers that may use the items immediately, thus avoiding the return of items which are still suitable for human consumption and thereby improving the CE. Future studies could investigate: how to enhance Industry-Retail Symbiosis; what managerial information is required to use technologies to align products, stocks, prices, and stores; how suppliers can best manage the benefits offered to retailers or their partnerships with other suppliers (e.g., a shared sales center to improve symbiosis with retailers); and how retailers can best manage alternative sales channels and store managers' autonomy.

Little is currently known of the potential role of the emerging digital technologies in furthering the sustainability of supermarket chains in emerging economies. Thus, an original multiple case study has been conducted, involving six supermarket chains operating in Brazil and six farming distributors that produce fruit and vegetables (F&V). The findings show that actions towards food waste reduction based on the principles of the circular economy begin with an understanding of F&V stages of deterioration. Through such an understanding, a number of actions can be undertaken to reduce the negative effects of this deterioration. These include (among others) the management of prices, sales, operations, and purchases, all of which can be underpinned by such technologies as sensors and augmented reality in order to manage dynamic pricing, storage, and item display. The findings contribute to demonstrating how digital technologies can help supermarkets’ marketing departments in driving corporate sustainability while also benefiting both consumers and societal well-being.

The article is based on a multiple case study of selected supermarkets that have enacted strategies that emphasize FW reduction. The findings unveil both conventional or digitized green marketing actions that should be implemented in the following sequence: product, place, price, and promotion. First, products need to be grouped into categories based on retailers' brand and suppliers' brand. This help to prevent future problems with the items that bear the supermarket's brand. This categorization is also helpful in defining the right place, price, and promotion for products with SSL. Besides, the pricing of items with SSL should be dynamic. Lastly, careful attention paid to where offers are placed inside stores also can also help to leverage sales, leading to reduced food waste.

Research paper thumbnail of Impact of sex ratio and stocking density on the induced spawning of the Egyptian sole (Solea aegyptiaca Chabanaud, 1927)

Broodstock spawners were intermuscularly injected with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone (HCG) below the dorsal fine base; the dose was 7000 IU/Kg body weight of fish. In this study, three different broodstock sex ratios: 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 (male ♂: female ♀) were tested. The highest fertilized eggs/ treatment and larvae/ treatment were observed in sex ratio (1♂:2♀). While, the highest fertilized eggs/ female, fertilized eggs/ g female, hatching rate and number of spawning were observed in sex ratio (2♂:1♀). Under the conditions tested in this study, larvae production of S. aegyptiaca was affected by different broodstock sex ratios and improved at a sex ratio (1♂:2♀). Also, four different broodstock stocking densities: 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25 Kg/m 3 were tested. The highest fertilized eggs/ treatment, fertilized eggs/ g female and larvae/ treatment were observed in stocking density 0.75 Kg/m 3 followed the other stocking densities. The lowest fertilized eggs/ female and/ g female were observed in stocking density 1.25 Kg/m 3. Under the conditions tested in this study, larvae production of S. aegyptiaca was affected by different broodstock stocking densities and the best stocking density was 0.75 Kg/m 3. Also, results demonstrated superiority of artificial spawning compared to natural one. From the results of this study, it is recommended to use artificial spawning in S. aegyptiaca with sex ratio (1♂:2♀) and stocking density (0.75 Kg/m 3).
