Abstract:

AbstractThe purpose of this longitudinal study of 94 married entrepreneurs starting new businesses was to investigate protective mechanisms creating resiliency (capacity) in entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-assessed spousal commitment to new venture goals as a key element of the resilience process experienced within their couple decision context. Controlling for business demand, the effect on new venture sustainability as measured by breakeven point and business success was analyzed. Patterson’s FAAR theory, a family resilience theory, was applied because it clearly conceptualizes the components and influencing factors within the process of resilience and because the couple is the primary decision context of entrepreneurs. Spousal commitment (negative) and business demand (curvilinear) were significantly associated with breakeven point. Entrepreneur’s business confidence (positive), life outlook (positive), and business demand (curvilinear) were associated with business success.

Abstract:

Las empresas están cada vez más expuestas a vulnerabilidades debido a la gran incertidumbre del contexto actual, y por ello necesitan estar preparadas para hacer frente a disrupciones. Si una disrupción impacta en una empresa, ésta tendrá que adaptarse a la nueva situación y recuperarse rápidamente para alcanzar su estado normal de operación. Esta capacidad se define como resiliencia empresarial. Con el fin de evaluar cuán resiliente es una empresa, es necesario analizar qué provoca la falta de resiliencia: las disrupciones. Este trabajo propone un marco de categorización de disrupciones, como punto de partida para evaluar la resiliencia empresarial.Palabras Claves: Resiliencia Empresarial, Disrupción, Fuente, Consecuencias, Marco de CategorizaciónEnterprise resilience assessment: a categorisation framework of disruptionsAbstract: Currently, enterprises are more exposed to vulnerabilities and threats due to the recent and uncertain context and this makes enterprises need the capacity to be ready and prepared to face up to more and more expected and unexpected events. If a disruption impacts on an enterprise, the company will have to adapt to this new situation and try to recover as soon as possible to its normal state of operation. This ability has been defined as Enterprise Resilience. The topic of enterprise resilience is an under-researched concept since there are few studies in the literature, which focus on evaluating and assessing this business capacity. Moreover, enterprise resilience is a new innovative research area that evolves from the traditional risk management to a more operational vision of how to manage disruptions. In order to assess how resilient an enterprise is, it is necessary to understand, assess and analyse the factors that affect enterprise resilience. Therefore, the first step is to focus on the trigger that causes this lack of enterprise resilience: the disruptions. This will lead to: (i) support enterprises to be aware of the potential disruptions in which the company has less adaptative ability and (ii) take appropriate decisions to avoid the occurrence of disruptions and/or to mitigate the impact of them once that already happened. To do so, disruptions should be categorized to provide an organized structure that will be the input for further research. This paper proposes a categorisation framework of disruptions which is the starting point to evaluate the resilience capacity of enterprises.Key words: Enterprise Resilience, Disruption, Source, Consequences, Categorization Framework.

Abstract:

The resilience concept has attracted interest across many fields in the recent years. The interdisciplinary nature of the concept has led to the existence of numerous definitions, interpretations and measurement approaches. For this reason, there is no acceptable universal understanding of resilience across disciplines. Even though the concept is conceptualized differently in the small retail business field, scholars seem to commonly relate resilience to the ability of business to adapt to disruptions that threaten existence. However, resilience measuring has been a highly contested aspect in the sector. As such, neither key resilience attributes nor universally applicable criteria for resilience measuring exist in the small retail sector. At the same time, small retail businesses are increasingly exposed to direct and indirect threats that jeopardize their resilience prowess. Therefore, it is vital to develop approaches for assessing resilience levels and monitor changes over time. This paper critically examines current approaches to developing resilience measurement tools. Thereafter, it proposes the most applicable approach for developing performance measures of resilience for use in the small retail business sector. A review of key frameworks for resilience measuring within climate, community, livelihoods, organizational and business sectors was conducted. Frameworks and approaches for resilience measuring that has been in use in the past decade and half were selected. The main focus was on exploring methodological aspects, resilience attributes and variations in the interpretation of the resilience concept within different frameworks. It was revealed that the generic application of frameworks for resilience measuring in the small retail business sector is not appropriate. Thus, there is a need for developing contextualized frameworks to guide resilience measurement in the small retail sector.

Abstract:

Resilient business enterprises are able to survive strategic disruptions like technology disruptions and come back as more successful. They succeed because they have resilient characteristics and apply resilience strategies. Based on a case study analysis, this paper builds a business enterprise resilience model that guides the business enterprises to build the resilience capabilities that enable them to survive during strategic disruptions. The proposed model guides the business enterprise to instil in its architecture the design characteristics of resilience that make it ready to respond to disruption. The model uses the resilience strategies of mitigation, adaptation, and transformation and applies them at three enterprise levels; the operating model level, the competitive strategy level, and the business model level. The mitigation strategy moves the operating model to the efficiency frontier. The adaption strategy recovers the enterprise from the impacts of the strategic disruptions. The transformation strategy transforms the enterprise business model totally.

Abstract:

This article discussed two most important variables for business sustainability which were business resilience and business growth, then measured which variable is need to be pursued more than other. We also applied Digital Busines Model (DBM) as moderating role. By doing so, we expect that we can measure the role of DBM to modern business and how it strengthens and faster the resilience and growth process in business sustainability. We found out that business resilience had more influence and worth to pursue than business growth with 0.774 for resilience and 0.413 for growth. This study revealed that there was no moderating effect of DBM to business sustainability either through business resilience or growth, even though both elements had strong direct influence to business sustainability. Finally, this research suggests that in the time of crisis, business needs to focus more to its resilience strategy than pursuing growth to sustain their business. , , business resilience, Digital Business Model

Abstract:

The article investigates how rural businesses demonstrate resilience when faced with adversities and the processes they utilise to survive. The work explores rural resilience through the use of learning and innovation in small rural enterprises. Drawing on case study work from rural England the results indicate that individual businesses find ways to overcome adversities and, through learning how to cope with them, create a resilient culture. Individuals businesses use various resources, and in some cases innovate, in order to continue business operations during difficult times. Continual learning becomes an important aspect of incremental innovations which are required merely for the business to survive. The work is timely as many small enterprises face difficulties in the wake of instability in the economic world.

Abstract:

We investigate economic resilience of UK regions before, during and after the 2007/8 global financial crisis. We date business cycle turning points in real output, employment and productivity to assess the resilience dimensions of resistance, recovery and renewal and rank the economic resilience of regions in a resilience scorecard. Our empirical results reveal that the business cycle in productivity has not returned to its pre-recession peak level for Yorkshire and the Humber and the employment level has not recovered in Scotland. The resilience scorecard ranks the South East as the most resilient region with Northern Ireland the least resilient.

Abstract:

Using National Family Business Panel data combined with national natural disaster and federal disaster assistance data, the purpose of the study was to investigate relative contributions of human, social and financial capital; natural disaster exposure; and federal disaster assistance to business-owning family resilience over time for male and female family business owners. With a theoretical foundation of Sustainable Family Business and Conservation of Resources theories, the study examined 311 small family firms from the National Family Business Panel. Federal disaster assistance explained a significant amount of variance in firm-owning resilience. Higher levels of federal disaster assistance were associated with lower family firm resilience for male-owned businesses and higher family firm resilience for female-owned businesses. This study advances knowledge of firm sustainability after natural disasters by adding to the conceptualization and measurement of family firm resilience; by having baseline firm financial data prior to disaster exposure; by utilizing a national, representative, longitudinal family firm sample; by including a range of natural disasters and federal disaster assistance; and by including family resilience over time.

Abstract:

Purpose – Businesses are always seeking resilient strategies so they can weather unpredictable competitive environments. One source of unpredictability is the unsustainability of commerce's environmental, economic or social impacts and the limitations this places on businesses. Another is poor resilience causing erroneous and unexpected outputs. Companies prospering long-term must have both resilience and sustainability, existing in a symbiotic state. The purpose of this paper is to explore the two concepts and their relationship, their combined benefits and propose an approach for supporting decision makers to proactively build both characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – The paper looks at businesses as complex adaptive systems, how their resilience and sustainability can be defined and how these might be exhibited. It then explores how they can be combined in practice. Findings – The two qualities are related but have different purposes, moreover resilience has two major forms related to timescales. Both kinds of resilience are identified as key for delivering sustainability, yet the reverse is also found to be true. Both are needed to deliver either and to let businesses flourish. Practical implications – Although the ideal state of resilient sustainability is difficult to define or achieve, pragmatic ways exist to deliver the right direction of change in organisational decisions. A novel approach to this is explored based on transition engineering and robustness engineering. Originality/value – This paper links resilience and sustainability explicitly and develops a holistic pragmatic approach for working through their implications in strategic decision making.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of the viewpoint is to examine the various ways in which the pandemic has exposed structural vulnerabilities in global business infrastructures that have long existed and been long ignored. It urges business leaders not to return to a “new normal” but make fundamental changes to ensure that their businesses are truly resilient and can withstand future threats more effectively. Design/methodology/approach The viewpoint looks at the various kinds of vulnerability to which businesses are exposed – such as supply chain, human capital, cyber security and climate change – and proposes ways to ensure that businesses, as well as shareholders and government entities work together to build true resilience. Findings At its core, the viewpoint exposes the various ways in which businesses have turned a blind eye to vulnerabilities that have always lurked just below the surface and suggests. The argument is that to secure the long-term future of our global business system, we can no longer remain oblivious to fundamental weaknesses in our infrastructures. Research limitations/implications The viewpoint looks selectively at the available data and is, therefore, by definition, subjective and non-comprehensive. Practical implications If businesses and shareholders truly take the recommendations of this viewpoint to heart, we can build a more resilient future through long-term investments in risk management infrastructures of all kinds that will secure a more prosperous and stable future. Social implications Developing a more resilient and stable global business infrastructure will help reduce the business volatility deriving from last minute responses to predictable threats. This will, in turn, help provide more stable, fulfilling employment, especially in developing countries that will act as a fly wheel for the secure development of human potential around the world. Originality/value While there has been much speculation of what the “new business normal” will look like once the pandemic has been conquered, this is, the author believes, the first piece to look concretely on how we can not only “build back better” but build back more soundly for the long term.

Abstract:

Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are extremely important to the health of the UK economy. Yet their continued survival is threatened by a plethora of risks on a daily basis. Floods affect more people and cause more economic losses than any other hazard in the UK. Accordingly, the aim of this thesis was to explore flood risk from the SME perspective by looking at case examples of Hull and Sheffield, two cities which were hit extremely hard during the summer 2007 floods. Through the conduction of 38 semi-structured interviews and the distribution of a postal questionnaire with a response rate of 8.7%, it was found that for SME owner/managers flooding is not a significant risk. It is one in a ‘package of disruptions’ which causes discontinuity to the ‘order of business’. These perceptions differ to those held by local regulatory bodies. It was revealed that the Environment Agency, Hull City Council and Sheffield City Council are at cross-purposes in regards to the resilience measures implemented to address flooding. This variation leads to the production of a ‘responsibility game’ scenario between SMEs and regulatory bodies, the catalyst for SMEs remaining vulnerable to the risk of flooding. The responsibility game develops due to limitations associated with regulatory body resilience measures. As regulatory body resilience measures are dictated by national policy, their shortcomings are attributed to constraints at a national level. Flooding has a ‘local profile’. Therefore it is recommended that flooding policies should be generated at a local scale on a place-by-place basis. Local characteristics can be taken into account and assistance can be provided by regulatory bodies which is tailored to those stakeholders in need. By doing so, it is predicted that SME vulnerability will reduce, and owner/managers will not spend a future “doing business underwater”.

Abstract:

Our world is more technologically advanced and interdependent, risks are increasingly shared across local, regional and national boundaries and we are more culturally diverse than ever before. As a result, communities are increasingly confronted with emergencies and crises which challenge their social and economic stability. To be resilient, communities rely on services and employment provided by organisations, to enable them to plan for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and crises. However organisational and community resilience are two sides of the same coin; if organisations are not prepared to respond to emergencies and crises, communities too are not prepared. Resilient organisations are also better poised to develop competitive advantage. However despite the potential business and performance rewards of becoming more resilient, organisations struggle to prioritise resilience and to allocate resources to resilience, which could be put to more immediate use. To enable organisations to invest in their resilience, the business case for resilience must be better than the case for new equipment or new staff. This thesis develops a methodology and survey tool for measuring and benchmarking organisational resilience. Previous qualitative case study research is reviewed and operationalised as a resilience measurement tool. The tool is tested on a random sample of Auckland organisations and factor analysis is used to further develop the instrument. The resilience benchmarking methodology is designed to guide organisations’ use of the resilience measurement tool and its incorporation into business-as-usual continuous improvement. Significant contributions of this thesis include a new model of organisational resilience, the resilience measurement tool, and the resilience benchmarking methodology. Together these outputs translate the concept of resilience for organisations and provide information on resilience strengths and weaknesses that enable them to proactively address their resilience and to develop a business case for resilience investment.

Abstract:

Supply chain resilience refers to the capability of a supply chain to both withstand and adapt to unexpected disturbances. In today's turbulent business environment, firms are continually seeking to create more resilience within their supply chain through increased information communication technology use and enhanced business-to-business relationships. The focus of this dissertation is the investigation of how information communication technology creates resilience at the differing process levels of supply chain operations. Past research into information communication technology use within supply chains has often been conducted at the macro-level of supply chain phenomena. As such, there is still much to understand about how decision-makers interact with information communication technology at the micro-level of supply chain decision-making. A more in-depth, broad coverage of this interaction will provide both practitioners and academics a better understanding of how to leverage information communication technology in achieving supply chain resilience. To meet this aim, this dissertation contains three essays that re-orient conceptual thinking about supply chain phenomenon, explore how advances in information communication technology influence business-to-business relationships, and identify how information communication technology effects the decision-making of supply chain managers.

Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The need for leaders who can cope with the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of today’s business world through developing or acquiring specific skills is an absolute necessity. Leaders need a ‘meta-skill of coping flexibility’ and to demonstrate agility in order to survive in the turbulent times that are not likely to settle down for some time. Occupational stress has reached extreme levels due to the pace of life, greater expectations, reduced job security and the ongoing introduction of new technology. Increasingly resilience is mentioned as the necessary competence for leaders of the current and future business world. Resiliency is about having the ability to adapt to changing situations and stressful situations. Executive coaching has many benefits, including providing leaders with a greater ability to deal with change, increased leadership self-efficacy and resilience and a decrease in depression. This study aimed to contribute to the field of Executive Coaching by investigating the current self- perceived levels of personal resilience in executives and designing a coaching process tailored to specific requirements to see whether there is an effect on the self-perceived levels of resilience. These self-perceived levels of resilience in the executives were then investigated after the coaching process to establish whether the coaching had an effect. Thirty-five (35) questionnaires were completed and a coaching participant group of four and a control group of four were selected using a random selection method. The four coaching participants completed four coaching sessions each. At the end of the sessions, the coaching participants and the control group participants were asked to complete the same questionnaire and the results were analysed and compared. The study found that the scores of the second questionnaire of all of the coaching participants increased and in the case of three of the control group participants the score decreased, which indicates that the coaching sessions made a positive impact on personal resilience levels. The coaching methodology used included cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques, as well as positive psychology, as suggested by the literature. Recommendations from the study include the need to develop resilience as a foundational leadership skill as well as throughout the leader’s career. Executives should engage in coaching to increase their ability to cope with and grow from business challenges. The genre of executive coaching can be enhanced with specific focus on building resilience skills in a flexible, yet effective way, in order to have a positive impact on the leader and the organisation.

Abstract:

Beginning in late 2019, the COVID-19 epidemic spread throughout the world, causing unprecedented disruption to global supply chains. Disruptions triggered by disease epidemics differ from other types of supply chain disruptions. Not only does the spread of infection threaten human health and life, but epidemic-related disruptions are also unique in terms of their magnitude, duration, unpredictability, massive supply and demand shifts, and widespread disruption of transport networks. These differences have led scholars to question the adequacy of existing supply chain management theory for imbuing supply chains with the ability to resist, respond to and recover from epidemic-related disruption. A novel concept, supply chain transiliency, has been proposed as a possible alternative approach to better assist supply chains cope with the negative consequences of disruption during epidemics. Supply chain transiliency combines conventional supply chain resilience methods with business model innovations. This exploratory research employs qualitative methods to gain early insights into the potential value of this new approach to supply chain management during disease epidemics, thereby making an initial contribution to theory development, while also providing guidance for supply chain practitioners grappling with COVID-19 and future epidemics.<br>Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2021.<br>Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)<br>MBA<br>Unrestricted

Abstract:

<p> The general business problem is that competitive advantage suffers because of the lack of employee engagement and employee innovative work behavior. Inability of business to determine methods or opportunities to affect levels of work engagement and innovative work behavior of employees limits the ability of the business to gain competitive advantage. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study is to examine the relationship between levels of resilience and levels of work engagement, and levels of resilience and levels of innovative work behavior. The body of literature in these three areas fails to identify a relationship between resilience and work engagement or between resilience and innovative work behavior. This proposal examined the concepts of resiliency, work engagement, and innovative work behavior to determine if a relationship exists between the three constructs building on Fredrickson’s 1998 broaden and build theory. Data was collected using an online survey tool. Participants were employed by large, for-profit U.S. based companies. The researcher employed River Sampling to collect data. Results were analyzed for completeness and incomplete surveys were not used in the data analysis. Raw data was translated into two categories of resilience (low and high), and three categories each for work engagement and innovative work behavior (low, medium, and high). The findings show a significant, positive relationship between levels of resilience and levels of work engagement, and between levels of resilience and levels of innovative work behavior. This study provides meaningful contributions to the body of literature in the areas of resilience, work engagement, and innovative work behavior by establishing a significant relationship between resilience and work engagement and between resilience and innovative work behavior. Practitioners can use the results of this study to develop new methods for improving levels of work engagement and levels of innovative work behavior by developing efforts to improve resilience.</p>

Abstract:

Disasters such as the recent parliament shooting in Ottawa, Superstorm Sandy, and the Great Japan Sea Earthquake and tsunami are reminders of the roles essential service organizations have in maintaining public health. On a daily basis, organizations are expected to operate under normal conditions, providing goods, services, and community supports. In crisis situations, it is critical that these organizations continue to operate and contribute to adaptive response and recovery in a community. Business continuity planning focuses on ensuring continued functioning of core operations during a disruption. Inherent to the business continuity field is a prevent-and-protect approach to preparedness activities. Asset-mapping exercises have the potential to balance the predominantly risk-based field by focusing on the strengths and capabilities already present within an organization. To understand the value of asset-mapping activities in business continuity plans (BCPs), indicators for organizational resilience are needed. Indicators have the potential to provide essential service organizations with a way to gauge the value of their BCP activities. In addition, this information can help guide decision-makers when developing BCPs. This research is part of a larger project at the University of Ottawa focused on building the empirical evidence base for BCPs and organizational resilience. This thesis, as a sub-study within the larger project, explores assets and indicators for organizational resilience to contribute to the effective evaluation and engagement of organizations in business continuity planning efforts. Emergent themes highlight the importance of assets and their contribution to the adaptive capacity of an organization in the event of a disaster. This study also provides an example list of 28 SMARTT organizational resilience indicators directly derived from organizational assets, providing information that researchers and essential service organizations can use to evaluate business continuity planning activities in relation to organizational resilience.

Abstract:

In the current unstable business environment, resilience in organisations might be an enabler to withstand this uncertainty. This study aims to separate strategic and operational resilience and discuss the simultaneous ap-proachability to enhance the understanding of resilience. Therefore, this conceptual research applies a literature review of leading publications in organisational ambidexterity and organisational resilience. Achieving organisational resil-ience is possible by seeing resilience, not as a standalone function, but by sensing and seizing opportunities and threats and transforming the business model into a resilient state by pursuing an ambidextrous organisation by exploiting op-erational and exploring strategic resilience. Combining organisational resilience and ambidexterity into one framework can help organisations and management prepare for and deal with uncertainty by building resilience on the strategic and operational levels.

Abstract:

Crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, challenge the economy and require firms to become resilient to external change. During COVID-19, the retail industry faced doubleedged consequences. While brick and mortar business models (BMs) were discontinued, online retail thrived. Extant BM research has investigated several crises; however, it still lacks an explanation of how BM change increases resilience to cope with crises. We analyze the BMs of 45 European retailers and the BM changes implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic and their influence on the retailers' revenue. We identify three types of retailers implementing different strategies to cope with the crises: the »good,« the »bad,« and the »dynamic.« These represent resilient BMs, un-resilient BMs, and BMs becoming resilient enabled by digital technology. We show how BM change creates resilience and performance benefits. For practice, we show how retailers adapted their BM to a crisis leveraging digital technology

Full text

Abstract:

The goal of this paper is to introduce evidence that an agile approach to project management could be a source of resilience at the individual, team and organisational levels in the current projectified environment. This article is designed as a review paper. The authors first discuss the trends and recent findings in projectification and then in resilience. In the continuation, the authors highlight the connections between these areas, which to date have not been widely discussed in existing literature, as well as where agile project management could be of great importance. Dependencies between projectification, resilience and agile project management are evident. Agile project management could be considered as an antecedent for multi-level resilience, however, empirical evidence supporting this claim does not yet exist, therefore the issue should be further investigated. Enough evidence has been collected to understand that it would be worth further investigating the dependencies between these concepts, as there is an opportunity to fill some gaps in existing academic knowledge and also create a hands-on practical contribution for contemporary organisations

Full text

Abstract:

Small food businesses are vital to delivering affordable, nutritious food to low-income communities. Yet food systems are under threat from multiple stressors. During the Covid-19 pandemic, government support was directed at maintaining business activity, so understanding how this affected small food businesses offers insights for future policy design. Most policies aligned primarily with the short-term financial needs of larger businesses, leaving a gap for timely support for small enterprises. The recurrent nature of shocks means that such businesses also require longer-term agility to respond to shocks. Interventions to build this capacity can be integrated into nutrition programming.

Full text

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the role of a cluster initiative in fostering economic resilience among firms in a local technology cluster in Argentina. We focus on two aggregate shocks that hit the Argentine economy, including first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis is based on interviews with authorities and members of the cluster initiative, local firms, and policy makers, as well as on firm-level administrative tax records. We find that the cluster organization provides members with resources that could foster resilience, including access to specialized human capital, information on business opportunities, and assistance in applying for government support programs. However, while members of the cluster organization appear to be more resilient than non-members, even within the same regional cluster, after conditioning on firm characteristics we find little evidence of a positive association between belonging to the cluster organization and economic resilience. Members of the cluster organization are neither less likely to exit nor adapt by switching their main economic activity and did not show statistically significantly higher revenue growth than nonmembers. Member firms do appear to have been more able than non-members to keep up with tax obligations during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aked, Jody. Supply Chains, the Informal Economy, and the Worst Forms of Child Labour. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/clarissa.2021.006.

Full text

Abstract:

As a cohort of people, ‘children in work’ have become critical to the everyday functioning of diverse supply chain systems. This Working Paper considers diverse commodity chains (leather, waste, recycling and sex) to explore the business realities that generate child labour in its worst forms. A review of the literature finds that occurrence of the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) in supply chain systems is contingent on the organising logics and strategies adopted by actors in both the formal and informal economies. Piecing together the available evidence, the paper hypothesises that a supply chain system is sensitive to the use of WFCL when downward pressure to take on business risk cannot be matched by the economic resilience to absorb that risk. Emergencies and persistent stressors may increase risk and reduce resilience, shifting norms and behaviour. There is a need for further work to learn from business owners and workers in the informal economy.

Achieving Excellence for California’s Freight System: Developing Competitiveness and Performance Metrics; Incorporating Sustainability, Resilience, and Workforce Development. Mineta Transportation Institute, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2021.2023.

Full text

Abstract:

This study explores the question of whether California's freight system is staying competitive with other US regions. A novel analytical framework compares supply chain performance metrics across multiple US states and regions for seaports, airports, highways, freight rail service, and distribution centers by combining the Performance Evaluation Matrix (PEM), Competitive Position Matrix (CPM), and Business Process Management (BPM) approaches. Analysis of industry data and responses from structured interviews with 30 freight industry experts across 5 transportation sectors suggests that California's freight system is competitive for seaports, airports, and freight rail; however, highways and distribution centers have room for improvement with respect to travel time reliability and operation costs, and California should prioritize infrastructure investments here. To stay competitive with the Texas and North East regions, state investments could also expand seaport container terminals and air cargo handling facilities, improve intermodal port connections and management of flows of chassis, container trucks, empty containers to ameliorate cargo backlogs and congestion on highways, at the ports, and at warehouses. The state could also invest in inland ports, transporting goods by rail directly from seaports to the Inland Empire or Central Valley.

Full text

Abstract:

Trade in services is becoming increasingly relevant. Changing technologies have transformed the landscape, making international trade possible in sectors that were once considered nontradable. But the lack of consistent, reliable data prevents analysts from fully understanding and accurately describing trade in services. Despite this limitation, this report aims to outline Latin America and the Caribbeans competitiveness in global services markets. It concludes that the region still focuses on traditional sectors like travel and transportation, despite some green shoots in nontraditional services, and that costs remain high in comparison with other regions of the world. Furthermore, the regulatory framework in the region is still weak, and although several modern trade agreements are already in place, there is still room for improvement. Sound policies to further develop trade in services and boost competitiveness in nontraditional sectors such as computer or business services would help the region to diversify its export baskets and build trade resilience.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper provides an insight on the gender impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Caribbean. The analysis makes use of the April 2020 online COVID-19 survey that the Inter-American Development conducted in all six Caribbean Country Department member countries. We find that the pandemic is having different effects on men and women. For example, job losses have been more prevalent amongst single-females, whilst business closures have been more prevalent amongst single-males. Quality of life also seems to have worsened more for single-females than for single-males and partners (married or common law partnership) and domestic violence against women has been on the rise. Although the coverage of social assistance programs has increased substantially during the pandemic, we find that more targeting of households with single females could be beneficial, particularly as they show lower levels of financial resilience. Going forward, we recommend further gender targeting in social assistance programs and the collection of gender-disaggregated data that will allow for more thorough investigation of the gender effects of these types of shocks.
