Abstract:

Abstract The apple agroindustry involves several members integrated from upstream to downstream. The existence of this relationship requires the identification, measurement, and evaluation of the supply chain to determine an improvement strategy. The purpose of this research is to identify the supply chain structure, analyze the supply chain performance, added value, and risk, and formulate a strategy for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the supply chain. The identification of supply chain structures was analyzed using descriptive analysis, supply chain performance using SCOR and AHP, added value using a modified Hayami model, risk analysis using HOR, and strategy formulation using ANP. The research results reveal that the supply chain structure of the apple agroindustry consists of six structures. The supply chain performance of farmers is included in the marginal category, while collectors and industries are included in the average category. The added value of farmers was the lowest, while the collectors and industries were relatively high. There are still many risks in the supply chain, with more than ten risk priorities for each supply chain member. An alternative strategy for improving effectiveness and efficiency is technology development and innovation. This is done by providing apple cultivation and post-harvest technology for highlands, packaging technology for fresh apples, automatic machines for production, digital promotion to expand product sales up to a national scale, and further development can add a product tracking system to maintain product safety.

Abstract:

Apple production provides smallholders with low economic benefits, while high environmental emissions limit the sustainability of the apple supply chain. Furthermore, coordination to achieve greater economic benefits and environmental protection, thereby improving the sustainability of the apple supply chain, remains underdeveloped. Here, we have analyzed the current status of the economic benefits and environmental emissions of the apple production process and explored the level of collaboration within the apple supply chain, based on an analysis of farmer horticultural practices for high production, high economic benefit, and low environmental emissions, in combination with substance flow analysis. Our study showed that compared with traditional practice, high-yielding, high-efficiency practice allowed fruit yield, partial productivity of nitrogen fertilizer, and economic benefit to increase by 33%, 61% and 49%, respectively, while soil nitrogen residue levels decreased by 13%. The improvement and adoption of technology in the apple-planting process significantly improved the sustainability of the apple supply chain: the economic benefit increased by 63%, while the nitrogen footprint decreased by approximately 68%. Additionally, the application of integrated nutrient management technology in the apple planting process significantly improved the sustainability of apple production, thereby synergistically improving the economic and environmental impact of the apple supply chain.

Abstract:

Annurca is the most cultivated apple variety in the Campania region (Italy). It is an Italian protected geographical indication product and its management must follow a strict product specification which requires a typical postharvest treatment: the fruit must be subjected to a reddening process in air (‘melaio’) that improves the red colour and the flavour of the fruit but is very expensive and time consuming. For this reason there is sometimes a tendency to skip the ‘melaio’ process, but in this case the fruit cannot be labelled as ‘Melannurca Campana PGI’. The purpose of this work was to discriminate ‘melaio’ treated fruit from untreated fruit using near infrared spectroscopy. A further objective of the work was the non-destructive evaluation of the apple storage conditions which can affect the product quality. Fruit of Annurca ‘Rossa del Sud’ subjected or not subjected to the reddening treatment in ‘melaio’ were stored at 0.5℃ in air (Air) or in controlled atmosphere (1%O2, 0.7% CO2) for eight-month duration. Following storage, fruit were analysed for standard maturity indices (flesh firmness, soluble solids, acidity) and the near infrared spectrum of each fruit was collected. The spectral data, subjected to various pre-treatments, were used to calculate a calibration model by applying partial least squares-discriminant analysis. The best model allowed discrimination of fruit immediately after storage under different conditions, but with 0 days of shelf life, to be classified with a 93.3% correct classification rate for the prediction set. However, after seven days of shelf life at 20℃, post-storage, correct classification rate dropped to 70%, but it was always possible to discriminate the two treatments (96.6% correct classification rate). The results of this preliminary work suggest a possible use of the portable near infrared instrument in the monitoring of the Annurca (protected geographical indication) supply chain.

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the occurrence and determinants of unfair trading practices (UTPs) in the fruit supply chain in Slovakia. Based on a representative survey of fruit growers, mainly apple growers, the study concludes that 79% of the producers experienced at least 1 UTP in a relationship with their main buyer. The most frequent UTPs are late payments (39.6%), payments unrelated to a specific transaction (39.6%), and unilateral changes by buyers in contracts and orders. The results of the probit model show that producer organisations decrease the probability of UTPs relative to conditions in which the main buyer is a private trader (by 32%) or supermarket (by 35%). This result provides some justification for the support of producer organisations under the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union.

Abstract:

The typical approach in the business strand of literature on inter-organisational forms of cooperation is based on the Porter’s value chain model or on the body of literature related to the supply chain. However, there is extended research on value chains based on a different theoretical tradition, rooted in world-systems theory and commodity chain concepts, which recently tend to merge under the umbrella of the Global Value Chain (GVC). We use this eclectic approach as a theoretical framework to investigate the issue of informational asymmetries considered as a barrier in upgrading the position of local producers in the GVC by enhancing quality. As an empirical illustration, we use the Polish apple sector. Poland is one of the largest apple producers in the world with a strong export orientation and linkages with the global value chain. The study provides an insight into the barriers of upgrading the position in GVC and ways to overcome them. Responsibility for the final quality offered for the end-user is strongly dispersed across many actors in the chain, while interrelations between them are plagued by the information asymmetry problem. Therefore, the upstream transmission of end-user quality expectations within the chain fails due to the lack of orchestrating incentives and causes the misbehaviour in conducting different activities in the chain. Thus, attempts to upgrade the position of Polish apple growers in the GVC should be focused on overcoming information asymmetries. Mechanisms such as branding, standardisation and certification seem to be promising ways forward.

Subjects were stock returns of Apple Inc. and stock returns of supply chain in Taiwan by using the methodology that is multiple regression analysis and event study. There is a significant relations between stock returns of Apple Inc. and stock returns of supply chain in Taiwan, but the stock returns of supply chain in Taiwan is more affected by TAIEX than stock returns of Apple Inc. Meanwhile, stock returns of supply chain that provide more than two products in Taiwan were more affected by stock returns of Apple Inc. than the companies that provide single product. In the test of announcement effect, I find there is a higher abnormal returns before new product of Apple Inc. has announced two days ago, and the positive abnormal reverse on announcement date.

In the study, we examine the effect of value creation on operating performance and salaried employees separately in Taiwan’s Apple supply chain, using the Apple’s 2013-2017 published list of Taiwan supplier companies to construct the ISUR model. The ratio of value added in Taiwan’s Apple supply chain represents about 8% of Taiwan’s real GDP from year 2015 to 2017, however, the ratio is only about 4% if exclude TSMC, then to compare with year 2014, the growth ratio of value added would only last 1%. The average ratio of value added represents about 23.183% of net operating revenue (VAR), which means intermediate goods trade is about 77% of net operating revenue, in the meanwhile, the average ratio of value added represents about 18.661% of exports (VAX), intermediate goods trade is about 18.661% of exports. The information above shows that most Taiwan’s Apple suppliers is classified to the lower value-added OEM. The effect of value creation on operating performance and salaried employees separately in Taiwan’s Apple supply chain represents significantly positively, therefore, to improve the industry value chain can distribute income between labor and capital. According to the analysis result, the effect of CEO-chair duality, independent directors and CEO power (CEO shareholdings) on both labor-capital income and the firm value are extremely significant; hence the company should consider those above three corporate governance indicators while making core strategies. In sum, this study can be used to lay the foundation for making core strategies by confirming that making efforts to create value-added to gain the firm performance and sustainability.

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Customer awareness of food safety, limited lifetime of agri-fresh foods, food loss, environmental concerns, increasing cost of energy and sharp growth in the world’s population have all motivated agricultural fresh food supply chain businesses to rethink their supply chain operations and manage them in a more optimized and sustainable manner. Unfortunately, roughly one-third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally. In the agricultural fresh food supply chain, food loss is a crucial issue as agri-fresh food losses are between 14% and 70% depending on the product. Another big challenge in the agricultural fresh food supply chain is energy consumption, as it is one of the most energy-intensive industries. This study focuses on warehousing and inventory optimization in the agricultural fresh food supply chain due to the significant occurrence of food loss in the inventory stage, in addition to a great deal of energy consumption by warehouse operations. Three mathematical programming models of linear programming (LP), mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) are developed, where each one extends the previous one. The MILP model extends the LP model by adding some special features to warehouses, such as determining different numbers of warehouses of each mode to be active per time period and determining the periods in which the warehouses should operate. Next, the MILP model is extended to a MIQP model for deteriorating items containing multiple products with different deterioration rates during storage. It also considers mode-switching and on/off switching options for warehouses. The objective function of LP and MILP models is to minimize total storage and processing costs, and the objective function of the MIQP model is to minimize total inventory and warehousing costs. Food loss is investigated based on perishability (a fixed lifetime) in the LP and MILP models and based on constant deterioration rates in the MIQP model. The performance of the models is tested and validated using a case study of an Australian apple supply chain company. The results demonstrate that the MILP model outperforms the LP model, as it decreases food loss by 7% and decreases total costs of storage and processing by 1.2%. In addition, a comprehensive sensitivity analysis on some of the parameters of the MILP model provides some noteworthy recommendations for stakeholders of the apple industry to improve their warehouse and inventory performance. Comparing the MIQP model results with the warehousing and inventory configuration of the case study for the year 2016, the model is validated. It shows the capability to minimize total warehousing and inventory costs by 8% and food loss by 20%. To test the final extended model (MIQP), an appropriate number of instances are randomly generated based on an instance collected from the case study; accordingly, different analyses, comprising scenario-based analyses of demand and supply, and analyses of different sizes of instances are carried out. Finally, a number of noteworthy insights are extracted. Decision makers and stakeholders of the agri-fresh food supply chain can benefit from applying the proposed mathematical models to their warehouse and inventory operations to move toward a more efficient and sustainable operation by minimizing their inventory-related costs and agri-food losses.

The purpose of this paper is discusses the APPLE, SAMSUNG and XIAOMI smartphone announcement affect the share price on competitor of supply chain on smartphone. Use Event Study to analysis the price of stock whether has the abnormal returns before and after announcement, to explore the effect on stock market after announcement of smartphone. The empirical results summarized in the following conclusions: First, the investor expected the announcement of new phone events will impact on competition in the industry, thereby affecting their stocks share price. And the empirical results, APPLE and SAMSUNG have the mature development of smartphone production technique, when there is a breakthrough hardware change, might makes investors have a negative expectation of impact on the industry, so suggest when the firm has a significant change in hardware, investors should sell the stocks of the competition firm in order to reduce short-term losses. Second, XIAOMI has lower market share and higher growth rate in the market of smartphone, the investor expects its new product impact on the industry may be more volatile, so the investor's advice: If the phone has a new brand new marketing approaches, should sell the competition with the industry stocks; if not, you can continue to hold.

Apple Inc. launched its new tablet PC product, the iPad on 27th Jan.,2010 and turned over a new leaf of the tablet PC development history. Apple launched the 2nd and 3rd generation iPad products in 2011 and 2012 which catched Taiwan investors’ attentions on related supply chain. This thesis wants to investigate the information content of new product announcements with the Taiwan Electronics Industry Supply Chain, using the event study methodology and the events are the product announcements of the three generation ipad products. Stock return data from 2009 to 2012 was used. Empirical results support the hypothesis that the 1st and the 2nd generation iPad product announcement effects were indeed reflected in the iPad supply chain vendors which both have significant AR and positive CAR conclusions. However, the 3rd generation iPad product conclusion is not consistent with the others. This thesis investigated again and found that the information was leaked before the 3rd generation iPad was launched by Apple and some of the abnormal return took place before Apple’s official introducntion. Moreover, this thesis found the information leakage events have consistent conclusions with the 1st and 2nd generations’ which support the hypothesis that the new producnts announcement effects were reflected in the iPad supply chain vendors. Last but not least, the range of abnormal return shown a negative tendency because of the increasing announcement frequencies.

Abstract:

Abstract The development of cultivars exhibiting improved climate resilience and containing effective input and agronomic traits and their adoption by growers and acceptance by supply chains, consumers, and society remain essential drivers of a successful agricultural strategy directed to feed the world and overcome the challenges brought by nature, an increasingly stringent regulatory environment, and an ever-growing population. In order to deliver on the daunting challenge of providing affordable, nutritious food to humankind, while reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint, new innovation models are needed. Open innovation is being adopted by seed companies in order to tap into the vast pool of human talent available beyond their boundaries and increase their ability to generate, adopt, develop, and bring to market novel technologies while building upon the increasing global community of innovators and harnessing the resources of venture capitalists. In addition, open innovation can help streamline product development processes, as well as lead to the exploration of novel markets which would otherwise go unexploited. At the same time, open innovation provides the means for other firms and entrepreneurs to gain access to technologies which would be beyond the scope of their development abilities but which can be leveraged to create significant value for their own customers and markets. This chapter provides an updated perspective on the most salient aspects of open innovation. Though its main focus is crop genetics and the development of improved cultivars, the general principles discussed also apply to other activities associated with the value chains linking agriculture and customers.

Abstract:

AbstractModern software architectures are becoming increasingly complex and interdependent. The days of exclusive in-house software development by companies are over. A key force contributing to this shift is the abundant use of open source frameworks, components, and libraries in software development. Over 90% of all software products include open source components. Being efficient, robust, and affordable, they often cover the non-differentiating product requirements companies have. However, the uncontrolled use of open source software in products comes with legal, engineering, and business risks stemming from incorrect software licensing, copyright issues, and supply chain vulnerabilities. While recognized by a handful of companies, this topic remains largely ignored by the industry and little studied by the academia. To address this relevant and novel topic, we undertook a 3-year research project into open source governance in companies, which resulted in a doctoral dissertation. The key results of our work include a theory of industry best practices, where we captured how more than 20 experts from 15 companies worldwide govern their corporate use of open source software. Acknowledging the broad industry relevance of our topic, we developed a handbook for open source governance that enabled practitioners from various domains to apply our findings in their companies. We conducted three evaluation case studies, where more than 40 employees at three Germany-based multinational companies applied our proposed best practices. This chapter presents the highlights of building and implementing the open source governance handbook.

Abstract:

Taiwanese-owned Foxconn Technology Group, the world’s biggest electronics contract manufacturer of Apple, used the labour of 150,000 student interns – 15 per cent of its entire million-strong workforce in China – during the summer of 2010. This Chapter looks into the quasi-employment arrangements of student interns, who occupy an ambiguous space between being a student and a worker in Apple’s global supply chain. The incorporation of vocational school teachers into corporate management can strengthen control over students, who are in effect unfree labourers during their internships, which could last from three months to a year. While male and female student interns are required to do the same work as other employees, their intern labour is devalued. With the loss of their capacity to control the timing, location and training content of the internships, student-workers vent their pent-up anger and grievances in the capital accumulation process, in which their fundamental rights to labour and education are scarified.

Abstract:

Food processors and retailers are under increasing regulatory and market pressure to manage their food waste in an environmentally responsible way. This study analyzes the climate change impacts of several alternatives available for the management of the several food wastes generated in this sector. Four food chain wastes are selected: whey, apple pomace, grease trap waste and bakery waste. Four treatment pathways were analyzed: landfill, anaerobic digestion, land application and animal feed. The results of the analysis showed significant differences among the pathways with climate change impact varying from −621 kgCO2e/t to 1924 kgCO2e/t. Landfilling of food waste resulted in the highest impacts and diversion to feed animals resulted in net benefits. The moisture content of the waste proved to be an important factor while the bio-degradability and nutrient value also had an influence. The combined impacts of diverting food waste from one disposal pathway to an alternative pathway were also considered and data is provided on the optimal pathways for each food waste alternatives.

Abstract:

A complex web of relationships provides goods for manufacturing, assembling, and delivering final products known as the supply chain. Emerging technologies have been used in supply chain systems in order to provide traceability. However, these systems tend to be centralized, monopolistic, and asymmetric. As a consequence, they may result in trusting problems, such as fraud, corruption, and tampering. Blockchain technology provides a new approach for information systems based on decentralization, that can apply for supply chain systems. This work presents a Blockchain-based framework for developing applications that provide such traceability for supply chain management.

Abstract:

Purpose – to review literature about circular supply chain (CSC) theories, methods, frameworks, and appli-cations in industries. For organizations to incorporate circular economy (CE) principles in their supply chain frame-work are required to address the main circular processes. Previous attempts of frameworks aim at the comprehensive approaches or too theoretical for organizations to use them. The objective is to propose a theoretical framework that allows organizations to prioritize main circular processes in order to start improving or introducing new circular pro-cesses in the supply chain. Research methodology – the methodology of the article consists of a literature review and information synthesis for the formulation of the theoretical framework. Web of Science database was used for literature review with the key words of “circular economy supply chain”. Findings – formulated theoretical CSC framework contributes to the CSC research field with a more organization-ori-entated approach. Research limitations – the proposed framework is limited through only theoretical propositions and is more limited in its scope compared to other researchers. Practical implications – organizations in the supply chain such as manufacturers can understand through a framework main processes required for CSC. Originality/Value – compared to other researchers this work emphasizes and proposes CSC development from an organizational perspective rather than from a holistic approach.

Abstract:

Recently, with the development of urbanization, the enhancement efficiency of contactless, real-time features and high data transmission rate in supply chain management are widely discussed. The cold chain is one part of the supply chain, and especially the temperature monitoring plays a vital role in cold chain system. In this paper, we apply EWMA control chart and artificial neural network technologies to monitor temperature data. The back-propagation neural network is used to predict temperature shifts and trend. EWMA control chart is adopted to monitor temperature variation. As there’re something wrong happened, the control center of an enterprise can do some actions immediately to prevent further disaster. Finally, we construct a system with back-propagation neural network and statistical process control chart. A simulations and demonstrations environment using LEGO® bricks is also implemented.

Potts, Tavis, and Rebecca Ford. Leading from the front? Increasing Community Participation in a Just Transition to Net Zero in the North-East of Scotland. Scottish Universities Insight Institute, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.57064/2164/19722.

Abstract:

n line with Scottish Net Zero targets and the national strategy for a Just Transition, the Northeast of Scotland is transforming towards a low carbon future with a number of high-profile industry and policy initiatives. With the region home to global energy companies and historical high levels of energy sector employment, the narrative on transition is predominantly framed within an industrial and technological context, including narratives on new opportunities in green jobs, green industrial development, technical innovation and new infrastructure to support energy transition. As the energy landscape shifts in the North-East of Scotland, the impacts will be felt most keenly in communities from shifts in employment to changes to local supply chains. It is important to note that Net Zero ambitions will also change the nature and structure of communities in the region, for those within a shifting oil and gas industry and those without. A just transition ensures that all voices are heard, engaged and included in the process of change, and that communities, including those who have benefited and those who have not, have a stake in determining the direction of travel of a changing society and economy of the North-east. As a result, there is a need for a community-oriented perspective to transition which discusses a range of values and perspectives, the opportunities and resources available for transition and how communities of place can support the process of change toward Net Zero. Social transformation is a key element of a just transition and community engagement, inclusion and participation is embedded in the principles laid down by the Just Transition Commission. Despite this high-level recognition of social justice and inclusion at the heart of transition, there has been little move to understand what a just transition means in the context of local communities in the NorthEast. This project aims to address this imbalance and promote the ability of communities to not only engage but to help steer net zero transitions. It seeks to uncover and build a stronger local consensus about the vision and pathways for civil society to progress a just transition in the Northeast of Scotland. The project aims to do this through bringing together civil society, academic, policy and business stakeholders across three interactive workshops to: 1. Empower NE communities to engage with the Just Transition agenda 2. Identify what are the key issues within a Just Transition and how they can be applied in the Northeast. 3. Directly support communities by providing training and resources to facilitate change by working in partnership. The project funding supported the delivery of three professionally facilitated online workshops that were held over 2021/22 (Figure 1). Workshop 1 explored the global principles within a just transition and how these could apply to the Scottish context. Workshop 2 examined different pathways and options for transition in the context of Northeast Scotland. Workshop 3, in partnership with NESCAN explored operational challenges and best practices with community participants. The outcomes from the three workshops are explored in detail.
