Abstract:
The commitment is considered a very wide concept, which allows to clarify the links which the individual maintains with his work. It is the third principle of quality management systems. The increase of the atypical contracts, in certified companies of the automotive sector in the North of Morocco, puts the paradox: commitment - flexibility. The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of the quality practices on the commitment of the staff under the flexible contracts. On the methodological plan, we mobilized an exploratory qualitative hybrid approach, on the basis of a sample of seven companies of the automotive sector based in the North of Morocco.

Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to study the Certification activity of the Instituto Halal (IH), based in Córdoba (Spain), with more than 20 years' experience in this field: more than 1000 applications have been processed and a total of 515 certified companies, currently. Data from 2006 to 2021 have been analyzed; the evolution of halal certification from 2006 to 2014 shows a slow evolution, from 2014 to 2016 a stable one, from 2016 to 2018 a high increasing, 2018 to 2020 stable, and from 2020 to 2021 high increasing. Halal Institute made a huge progress in a short time and becomes a strong, professional organisation and a reference for Halal in Spain and Latin America. It has been recognized and accredited by several authorities over the world, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Emirates, Morocco, and Qatar. Halal Institute also has signed mutual recognition and memorandum of understanding with several organizations (certification bodies, standardization bodies, religious authorities...). Halal Institute has contributed to develop the halal concept and facilitate halal certified companies to achieve a share of market over the globe to export halal products; from 2015 to 2021 Spanish halal products have been exported to 91 countries, especially to Emirates, Qatar, Morocco, Algeria, France, Italy, and United Kingdom. From 2017 to 2021 halal bovine meat product exports reached 31.8%, ovine/caprine meat products reached 12.5%, and poultry meat and other products, 55.8%.

Abstract:
Implemented by an increasing number of organisations worldwide, the ISO 9001 standard for quality management received considerable attention in the existing literature. Researchers worldwide have found positive, negative and even mixed effects of ISO 9001 certification on firms’ performance, while in Morocco this issue has been rarely examined. It is the combination of these observations that led to this study. The aim of this paper is to test and validate a causal model designed to measure the performance of an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System (QMS) and its impact on a company’s financial performance. By means of this causal analysis/model, the study examines the relationship between: • QMS and the financial performance of 41 companies based in Morocco; • the management responsibility process and all the QMS processes; • the management resources process and all the QMS processes; • the organisational and financial performance of the studied companies. All of the considered firms are part of the service industry and range from medium-sized to large companies. The data gathered in this study have been instrumental in devising actionable insights. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was the statistical software platform that enabled the use of a linear regression analysis to prove the positive correlation between the above-mentioned elements.

Abstract. IThe purpose of the article was to study the main characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry in Morocco. As materials were studied the official websites of pharmaceutical manufacturers in Morocco, policy documents of industrial pharmaceutical associations, specialized pharmaceutical press of Morocco, educational resources of Morocco and France. As a result, it was found that the pharmaceutical industries of Morocco and Russia are already interacting with each other: BIOCAD supplies high-tech drugs and production technologies to Morocco, Morocco has placed an order with R-Pharm for the purchase of a vaccine against COVID-19, produced under the license of AstraZeneca, and also ordered a million doses of Sputnik V vaccine. Morocco is one of the fastest growing countries in the Middle East and Africa with an economy of $119 billion, a population of 37 million,andtotalhealthspendingof5.5%ofGDP.Expendituresforhealthcarearequitehigh-53.6%oftotalfamilyexpenditures. 31.7% of total health care expenditure is spent on drug purchases. The pharmaceutical industry in Morocco began to develop in 1960 after the end of the French protector and the introduction of the obligation to localize drugs sold in Morocco by foreign pharmaceutical companies. The pharmaceutical industry in Morocco is represented by 51 factories, which cover 2/3 of the country’s drug needs. Mostly generics are produced, 10% of production is exported. The volume of the issue is $1.68 billion (2nd place in Africa). The products are of high quality and certified according to European standards. Morocco is endeavoring to transform its pharmaceutical industry into a strategic asset for influencing African countries through the creation of an «African House of Medicines» based in Morocco, which is the manufacturing and logistics center for medicines in Africa. The main documents regulating the pharmaceutical industry are: Law No. 17-04 of 2006. “Code of Medicines and Pharmacy” and Order of the Minister of Health No. 902-08 5654 of 2008. “Requirements for the premises of pharmaceutical organizations.” Thus, we conclude that the Kingdom is a regional leader with ambitious plans and a large backlog that needs new technologies, markets for pharmaceutical products, a large number of qualified personnel, high-tech drugs at affordable prices. The intensification of cooperation between Russia and Morocco will help both countries to gain a foothold in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical market in Africa.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relation between the strategic reflection and the quality process through a detailed analysis of the contributions of these two fields in a specific context which is the ISO 9001 certified Moroccan companies. Based on the organizational theories, the strategic schools, the key concepts of the TQM, and the contributions of 2015 version of the ISO 9001 standards we have proposed a performance-based unified theoretical integrative framework. From a methodological point of view, the coherence between the problematic and the data to which we have access and the nature of the studied phenomenon, has led us to prioritize a multi-method and sequential research approach. We have chosen to begin our empirical study by an exploratory study that was conducted through the use of an interview guide delivered to a sample of experts. This resulted in a more rewarding research model which in turn was subjected to tests by using structural equations as a part of the second empirical phase which was conducted on a sample of ISO 9001 certified Moroccan companies. The research has shed light on the emergence of a well differentiated typology of quality related behavior and a quite elaborated strategic reflection process. We have also confirmed the existence of an significant bilateral relation between the strategy and the quality, in accordance with an iterative process combining other factors (internal and external) that influence their transformation and their consequences. We have also highlighted the partial nature of the mediator role in the improvement of the performance concerning the alignment of the two disciplines

Abstract:
In a dynamic environment marked by significant shifts in production and marketing systems across various industries, companies are compelled to adhere to national and international standards to meet evolving demands from both internal and external stakeholders. These emerging requirements have spurred companies to adopt strategic initiatives, such as emphasizing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as part of their managerial actions. The primary aim is to integrate two key management science themes: indicators derived from management control systems and the management of sustainable performance. Consequently, our focus lies in the socio-economic approach, particularly the socio-economic cost-value of activities, which influences the diversity of indicators on one hand and the management of sustainable performance on the other hand, mediated through their variety. This underscores the importance of managing sustainable performance by utilizing measures and data tied to socio-economic fundamentals, prompting us to formulate our research question as follows: "To what extent does the cost-value of activities impact the management of sustainable performance?" The empirical investigation transitions from simply describing variables within our sample companies to conducting factor analysis via Principal Component Analysis-PCA. This aims to establish a robust factorial structure and subject several constructs to testing, assessing the internal consistency of the model, the quality and reliability of the sample, and the validity of research hypotheses. Our findings align with prior research, indicating that diverse indicators can inform managers about social and environmental practices, fostering positive effects on sustainable firm performance. However, excessive reliance on these indicators may lead to confusion and dispersion within companies. Hence, it's imperative to tailor indicators to the specific context and objectives of each firm, considering industry-specific nuances. Our study demonstrates that leveraging a diverse range of indicators is pivotal for enhancing sustainable performance dimensions and managing socio-economic factors amidst external pressures. Evaluating the measurement model is crucial for validating the reliability and validity of measurement instruments, as well as assessing the structural model's overall quality, which includes tests like coefficient of determination-R², Goodness of fit-GoF, and others. It's important to note that our measurement model encompasses both reflective and formative constructs. The structural model's quality is gauged by its explanatory power, evaluated through R², indicating explained variance in the variables under scrutiny. To address this issue, we chose to examine the connections between key socio-economic factors and the management of sustainable performance in Moroccan companies certified with CSR labels. Through structural equation modeling, we found that effectively managing the cost-value of activities using diverse indicators plays a significant role in enhancing sustainable performance within CSR-certified companies.

Abstract:
<span lang="EN-US">Due to the current health crisis caused by covid 19, <span>a negative impact has occurred on the global economy and more specifically on employability. Many people have lost their jobs or have seen their incomes drop. Nowadays, the search for job offers or potential candidates is done mainly online, where several platforms already exist (LinkedIn, Viadeo or others online recruitment systems). These solutions are particularly difficult to use due to the volume of data to be found and the manual compatibility check. In addition, the surplus of unqualified candidates and unverified resumes is a major concern of online recruiting systems. What we propose in this article is a framework that helps bridge the gap between graduates and recruiters through a big data architecture for university based on a real and certified database of graduates and companies.</span></span>

Abstract:
Aim. To analyze the main trends in the development of the market segment of organic cosmetics containing argan oil. Materials and methods. Data from Internet sources on specific topics, information from the official websites of cosmetic manufacturers, as well as methods of systems analysis, historical, retrospective, analytical and logical methods were used in the work. Results. Due to the growing popularity of organic beauty, the global organic cosmetic market demonstrates an annual growth rate of 8-10 % (it is predicted that by 2022 its volume will be $ 2024 million). The article examines approaches to the collection of the raw material, the production and sale of environmentally friendly cosmetic products containing argan oil. To obtain 1-1.5 liters of pure oil, it is necessary to process 100 kg of seeds or 3 kg of kernels, its shelf life without preservatives is 2 years, therefore, the question of the composition of cosmetics produced by world brands remains open. The fact that it is practically absent in ordinary stores is also associated with negative factors that hinder the development of organic cosmetics with argan oil in different countries, including Ukraine. According to the marketing company Reportsbuzz, 17 key players from 10 countries producing these cosmetic products have been identified, the leaders among them are the Kingdom of Morocco (5 companies, which is 29,4 % of the total). Conclusions. The analysis of the composition of cosmetics sold on the sites kasta.ua, prom.ua, shafa.ua, allows us to conclude that most of the products are manufactured in Israel and the United States (although declared as Moroccan); the main component is silicones. Cosmetics with Spinosa oil (Argan) Kernel Oil is in the sixth place. In Ukraine, cosmetics with argan oil can be purchased through the official distributor – “Nectarome Ukraine”, on its website 6 products are presented with prices that start from $ 4 per 20 ml (Sérum huileux Neroli – Argane – Figues de barbarie) to $ 119.66 per 1 liter (Huile d’ Argane pressée à froid Certifiée Biologique) as of 23.06.2021.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare ISO 9001 certified and non-certified manufacturing companies with regard to performance measures, both financial and non-financial. Design/methodology/approach – A research study was carried out in 140 Greek manufacturing companies by means of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent by e-mail and it was requested that it should be answered by a company representative. Exploratory factor analysis is applied in order to extract the latent factors of performance measures. The differences between the ISO 9001 certified and non-certified manufacturing companies are determined through non-parametric tests such as the χ2-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Findings – The ISO 9001 certified manufacturing companies significantly outperform the non-certified with regard to product quality, customer satisfaction, operational, market and financial performance. This is evident in a business environment where an economic downturn and financial crisis dominates. Research limitations/implications – The sub-samples of the responding ISO 9001 certified and non-certified manufacturing companies are small sized and they are limited to small- and medium-sized enterprises. The subjective character of the data collected through the company representatives involves the risk of receiving biased responses regarding the performance measures. The above limitations suggest future research recommendations. Practical implications – The increased performance measures of the ISO 9001 certified manufacturing companies may motivate the non-certified ones to implement the ISO 9001 standard and apply for the certification in order to increase their performance and withstand the current economic downturn and financial crisis. The present study may also stimulate manufacturing companies to adopt traditional and modern benchmarking techniques, in an additional effort to improve their businesses and competitiveness. Originality/value – The present study compares performance measures of ISO 9001 certified and non-certified manufacturing companies operating under unprecedented circumstances due to the current economic downturn and financial crisis.

L’objet de cette thèse est d’analyser les déterminants de l’engagement sociétal des entreprises labellisées RSE, dans un contexte de pays émergent, en l’occurrence le Maroc. Sachant que la démarche de RSE ne connaît pas le même succès dans le monde pour plusieurs raisons liées aux spécificités économiques, culturelles et sociales de chaque pays, ce travail de recherche propose d’analyser empiriquement les bénéfices et freins perçus par les entreprises labellisées RSE de la Confédération Générale des Entreprises Marocaines (CGEM). En effet, face à un contexte marqué par des mutations profondes du nouvel environnement économique international, à savoir, la mondialisation économique et la globalisation financière et les modifications réglementaires et technologiques importantes, il est devenu nécessaire pour l’entreprise de s’inscrire dans des orientations stratégiques portant sur les perspectives du développement durable, et mettant en lumière l’engagement sociétal dans les pratiques managériales dont l’objectif principal est d’assurer sa pérennité. C’est ainsi qu’elle peut concilier préservation de l’environnement et équité sociale d’un coté et les impératifs financiers et économiques de l’autre. En se basant sur des thématiques relatives aux variables démographiques, degré de connaissance et posture managériale, actions menées et outils mobilisés, freins et réticences, et motivations et avantages en matière de RSE, nous mettons l’accent sur les bénéfices et inconvénients de cette démarche.Pour cela, deux parties ont été consacrées pour élucider les différentes questions posées.

The Subject of this thesis is to analyze the determiners of the community involvement of a company (RSE) in an emerging country such as Morocco. The purpose of the present research is to analyze this relation empirically. In fact, the new international economic environment characterized by deep changes, particularly, economic and financial globalization as well as the important regulatory and technological modifications that are taking place nowadays tend to give the priority to other strategic orientations relating to the prospects of sustainable development, and clarifying the societal commitment in managerial practices. The main goal of any company is to ensure its sustainability to the benefit of its customers, its shareholders and its collaborators. A company can become a committed social actor and not simply content itself with being an economic agent generating wealth. It can also get involved and adhere to better positioning itself with regard to the sustainable development which requires the production and sale within the best economic conditions while keeping a good image, namely, its ethical behavior, and by guaranteeing that its products are socially humanly and ecologically correct. Thus it can reconcile the safeguarding of the environment, social equity and the financial and economic requirements. Therefore, two parts were devoted to elucidating the various questions raised in this respect: The first part presents a review of the theoretical and conceptual approaches of the social responsibility of a company and its overall Performance and the potential links between these two components. The second part is devoted to the epistemological and methodological positioning, to the presentation of the model and the research hypotheses, as well as the analysis of the results of the empirical study.

Full text
Abstract:
Moral hazard lending at the Certified Development Company (CDC) level involves the origination or authorization of loans to businesses in riskier industries through risk free funds provided by the sale of SBA agency debentures. This study analyzes the performance and lending behavior of CDCs between 2001 and 2007 to determine if they engaged in moral hazard lending. Of particular interest is the determination of changes in lending behavior after competitive restrictions on CDCs were eliminated on November 11, 2003 (SBA's fiscal year 2004), and a comparison of lending behaviors between the different sizes of CDCs. It should be noted that there is no existing literature on this subject, and this paper begins the debate on the market structure of the CDC industry. Because of this fact, banking literature that explores moral hazard lending was used to develop justification and guidelines for the empirical research. This study analyzes loan losses by NAICS industry code to determine which industry sectors pose the greatest risk and then compares these results to the existing and proposed loan portfolios of CDCs to determine if certain groups of CDCs engage in riskier lending practices. Based on management reports provided by the SBA for the operations of CDCs at five different size levels (tiers), and data on loan authorizations for proposed future loans, the results indicate a significant difference in lending behavior that can be attributed to the size of the CDC. Smaller CDCs have a significantly higher proportion of loans to industry sectors with historically higher loan losses. Moreover, these smaller CDCs have higher actual losses and loan delinquencies, and their future loan portfolios as determined by new loan authorizations are skewed toward businesses in riskier industry sectors. As such, this study finds that smaller CDCs are engaging in moral hazard lending. While the study did not reveal a change in lending behavior after competitive restrictions on CDCs were eliminated in 2004, future results may change when data from additional years is obtained and analyzed.

Full text
Abstract:
The costs of obtaining and maintaining ISO certification are high. Moreover, studies have shown mixed results on the benefits of the certification. Consequently, the objective of this research was to verify whether or not companies do value maintaining the ISO 9000 certification. The empirical study was conducted on 41 U.S. companies that were first certified in 2000. The companies formed an existing database as they were used by Dr. Arbuckle in 2004 in his doctoral dissertation. Of the 41 companies, 12 were found to be out of business, leaving a final sample size of 29. Data were gathered from this sample through telephone interviews and verified through the organizations’ online documents. In this group, 23 companies were found to be still maintaining the ISO 9000 certification as of 2009. When the statistical analyses were performed, the results clearly indicated that companies do significantly value maintaining the ISO 9000 certification. However, it was interesting to note that the primary reason behind maintaining the ISO 9000 certification was pressure from customers and not necessarily as a tool towards achieving quality production or continuous improvement. Indeed, such an observation may help to explain why even certified companies sometimes produce goods and services of inferior quality.

Abstract:
In modern times environmental matters have increased in importance and are being discussed more frequently, and especially in relation with company activity. One way of complying with modern standards for companies is to work with environmental management systems, and it has become quite normal for companies to certify their environmental management systems to a recognized environmental certification. Continuing on this, the purpose of our thesis is to gain a deeper understanding regarding and ultimately assess why it is that companies seek environmental certification. Additionally, we have developed a sub-purpose which is designed to help us gain a deeper understanding regarding the main purpose in a practical context. We will look at 5 production companies in Umeå that have implemented an environmental certification, specifically ISO 14001, and try to understand the reasoning behind choosing to become certified. We will also examine the environmental effectiveness of an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system. We have conducted a comparative case study with these 5 companies in Umeå. Our method of collecting primary data was to interview the companies with a qualitative semi-structured interviewing technique. In the empirical part of the thesis we focused on practically testing the theoretical material. Furthermore, we also analyzed secondary data received from the companies' websites and directly from the interviewees in order to assess the effectiveness of an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system in financial and environmental terms. Regarding the theoretical framework, we focus on two theories referred to as the legitimacy theory and the stakeholder theory, and these theories are used to explain organizational behavior. We also have theoretical material explaining the positives and negatives of environmental management systems, and also ISO 14001 certification and the reasons why companies can benefit from such certification. Our findings suggest that the matter of legitimacy, in combination with the stakeholder theory, affected all of the companies in one way or another when choosing to seek environmental certification. In what ways the companies were affected differed even though there were many similarities across the companies regarding their reasoning to become ISO 14001 certified. We also found that, despite collecting a lot of hard data illustrating the companies' environmental performance over recent years, it was difficult to directly link any improvements to ISO 14001. It was, however, stated that ISO 14001 certification for the environmental management systems did improve the overall quality and environmental focus and performance, but it is still difficult to assess this with much accuracy and certainty due to many contributing factors.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
Derivatives have a long history which could be traced as far as in the biblical times, around 1700 B.C when Jacob was granted the right to marry Laban’s daughter, in counterparty of seven years of work, an agreement often presented as one of the first option contract in the human history. However, the use of derivatives really expanded over the last three decades. According to the Bank of International Settlement (BIS), the outstanding notional amount of the global over-the-counter (OTC) derivative market reached USD 708 trillion in June 2011. Derivative markets have a significant role to play in the development of African financial markets. Indeed, through the mechanisms of price discovery and risk transfer; derivative instruments introduce greater market efficiency and provide market participants the opportunity to hedge their exposure to various financial risks. The development of a derivative strong market in Africa presents a compelling case given the nature of several African economies, predominantly composed of primary commodity producers, open small economies inherently vulnerable to commodity price, foreign exchange volatility, and interest rate risks.

Abstract:
This research contributes to our understanding of trust in the international business environment, exploring the development of trust, and the influence of culture, structures and hierarchies, and international business communications. The focus is on the management of employees working in foreign-owned, international businesses operating in Morocco. With few notable and very valuable exceptions, there has been very little research exploring the Arab approach to management and even fewer pieces of research focus on the development of trust in this context. A qualitative research approach was employed, as so little is understood about the context and the phenomenon. A total of 30 interviewees from various managerial and organisational levels represented the sample of the study with five participating international companies, from different sectors established in Morocco. Using a content-thematic analysis, the research shows that Moroccan employees prefer working in international companies and their preference is associated to many factors such as the work environment they belong to, the financial and social benefits they receive, career advancement and employees’ development as well as being a part of a defined and organised structure where information is well circulated and communication is encouraged. In this way, this research contributes not only to our understanding of the development of trust in an Arab context but also sheds more light on cultural aspects which was found out in the research that they were interpreted differently such as the case of Hofstede’s uncertainty avoidance dimension. In particular the research suggest that some, non-Arabic researchers, may have misinterpreted certain behaviours in Arab cultures. This leads the research to a final conclusion that clearly shows the importance of considering Arab management as a fourth paradigm to explain managerial practices in the Arab World as suggested by Weir (2008) and better understand their practices (Hutchings and Weir, 2006).

AbstractThis chapter describes the legal framework for the classification of various entities (both commercial and non-commercial) as corporations with social or environmental impact in Mexico. Considering the absence of ad hoc legislation and the widespread incentives for companies to become certified as enterprises with a commitment to social interest, several recommendations are put forward. Specifically, this chapter details how a legal regime could be integrated into the country’s current regulatory environment to increase the number of firms eligible for B Lab certification.

Abstract:
The city of Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco is actively searching for an important change in its economic model, traditionally based on artisanal fisheries and tourism since the sixties of the past century. The circumstances of Morocco, such as the high dependence of import for energy needs (fuel and gas), low development of infrastructures and population growth, have generated in 2014 the opportunity of cooperation between the Commerce Chamber of Essaouira [1] and the research study group, headed by Professor Dr. Pedro Fernández, from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. A cooperation agreement has been signed on the 15th October 2014. Within this agreement several activities have been implemented. Among them, 5 research projects [2] have been developed during 2015: Study of a New Bus Station Terminal, Creativity Entrepreneur Area (Dermocosmetics industry, agro bio organic market, Renewable Energy, Wood artisanal and Fair Fashion), Viability of Wave Energy Station, Harbor New uses, Offshore Wind Energy Farm. Here it is summarized the outcome of these researches, measured in terms of invest needed and benefits generated, in terms of active participation of people of Essaouira, new activities and companies generated, and profits potentially gained in a short and long term under sustainable and respectful environmental, cultural and social behavior where fair trade, health, person to person business and less is more are the bones and the heart of all proposals.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The concept of the circular economy provides a framework for a more efficient closed-loop economy. Much literature has been published focusing on circular business models and assessing environmental impact throughout the life cycle. A move towards more circular business models, where the focus transitions to the delivery of a capability rather than the delivery of a product, presents new challenges to manufacturers of complex or certified engineered products. The aviation industry has established several engineering disciplines, life cycle design, and certification approaches that (while not designed with the circular economy in mind) underpin the principles of the circular economy. This paper provides a new conceptual framework for the circular economy that integrates the engineering principles that drive circularity around the life cycle for designing, producing, and operating complex and certified engineering systems. It also identifies the engineering and operational principles that support the implementation of circular economy principles for complex and certified engineering systems, those already established, and those that would benefit from further research and development. Then goes on to explore how these principles, when applied by companies, industry ecosystems, and policymakers, can underpin the move from linear to circular principles and broadly apply to industries producing complex or certified engineering products.</div></div>

Abstract:
In this paper, three surveys were carried out at the Darmstadt University of Technology to reveal the problems regarding the implementation of DFE. It furthermore attempts to bridge the gap between approaches mainly proposed by researches from university and the current practice in industry. The first survey gives a good overview about current DFE practice in companies with certified environmental management systems (EMS). The second survey summarizes the general experience of consultants from university and industry, who are well-versed in implementing methods in industry. The third and last survey was carried out at ‘environmental champions’ and inspects the differences between the individual applications. With these three surveys as a background, an approach for successful implementation of DFE will be derived. Finally, the concept is divided into different levels of implementation, based on the prerequisites of the company and the effort the company is willing to invest. Therefore, the concept can be used by large companies, as well as by small- and medium-sized companies.

In order to test the hypotheses of the study, Arithmetic Mean of the elements of the internal Control is used in addition to the data validity test methods through statistical analysis program (Spss). The results of the study showed that there is a need to rely on internal controls when planning audit procedures, but the degree of their adoption varied from component to component. The control environment component ranks first and then, respectively, the control, control, risk assessment and, finally, the information and communication system. The study recommends insurance companies to pay attention to the internal control system and support it for internal accounting control procedures.

This paper presents the specifications, design, verification testing and performance of a microturbine cogeneration package that conforms to Japanese laws, standards and codes. Elliott microturbine engine was adopted to the package, and peripheral equipments such as a low noise enclosure, a recuperator, a power conditioning system (PCS), a fuel gas compressor and heat recovery equipments were developed. Verification tests such as a containment test, an over speed trip test, a drop load test, pressure tests and strength calculations were conducted under the supervision of an inspection agency, and certified to satisfy requirements of the Japanese technical standards of gas turbines for power generation and microturbines. Other verification tests for the PCS and the fuel gas compressor were conducted, and electric power companies and gas companies accepted that the equipments were conformed to each technical standard. This paper also presents numerous novel features of the package such as low noise, low vibration, alternative heat output of hot water or steam, easy engineering, installation and maintenance.

Abstract:
African governments are spending over 1US$bn per year on digital surveillance technologies which are being used without adequate legal protections in ways that regularly violate citizens’ fundamental human rights. This report documents which companies, from which countries, are supplying which types of surveillance technology to African governments. Without this missing detail, it is impossible to adequately design measures to mitigate and overcome illegal surveillance and violations of human rights. Since the turn of the century, we have witnessed a digitalisation of surveillance that has enabled the algorithmic automation of surveillance at a scale not previously imaginable. Surveillance of citizens was once a labour and time-intensive process. This provided a practical limit to the scope and depth of state surveillance. The digitalisation of telephony has made it possible to automate the search for keywords across all mobile and internet communications. For the first time, state surveillance agencies can do two things: (a) conduct mass surveillance of all citizens’ communications, and (b) micro-target individuals for in-depth surveillance that draws together in real-time data from mobile calls, short message service (SMS), internet messaging, global positioning system (GPS) location, and financial transactions. This report was produced by qualitative analysis of open-source data in the public domain. The information presented is drawn from a diverse range of sources, including open government data sets, export licence portals, procurement notices, civil society databases of surveillance contracts, press releases from surveillance companies, academic articles, reports, and media coverage. The research is organised using a typology of five categories of surveillance technology. We did not set out to detail every technology available, every company, or every supply contract. Instead, we document the main companies and countries selling digital surveillance technologies to African governments. Rather than focus on the technical functionality distinguishing each product offering, we highlight five of the most important types of surveillance technology: internet interception, mobile interception, social media surveillance, ‘safe city’ technologies for the surveillance of public spaces, and biometric identification technologies.

Over one million firms around the world have adopted a Quality Management System (QMS) that conforms to ISO 9001 certification in 2015 and recent figures show that certifications have rapidly increased in emerging economies. ISO 9001 is considered a signal of high quality for products or services in markets with large imported competition or firms competing in international markets. However, implementing ISO 9001 certification entails large costs to companies for documentation of operating procedures, training, internal auditing, and corrective action. The impact of QMS on firm performance is unknown in developing economies and is still under-researched for more developed countries. This paper takes advantage of unique data on the status of certified and non-certified manufacturing firms in Colombia (an emerging economy) and matches it with firm performance. In 2006, the Colombian government launched policies to reduce the cost of adopting certification. We use this change to implement a difference-in-differences specification on panel data of certified and non-certified firms by matching samples at the year 2003, three years before the policy change. This is the most comparable data possible. Our findings suggest that firms that adopt ISO 9001 certification increase labor productivity (measured as added value over labor) by 12 percent, and sales per employee and wages by 8 percent. The effect is larger for firms that adopted certifications two years after the new policies compared with firms that adopted them immediately. The potential mechanism to explain gains in firm performance is human capital because, prior to the changes, firms with more temporary workers could not take advantage of certification.

Abstract:
This program is intended to improve the understanding of the stability over time of gas multi-path ultrasonic flow meters (USMs). Within the Natural Gas Industry, there are currently on universal standards requiring periodic recalibration of USMs. Removing these flow meters from serviced for recalibration is costly and inconvenient. However, the primary reason that a recalibration standard does not exist is the lack of definitive data regarding the long-term stability of installed USMs. In order to address this situation, collection and analysis of data was performed to help formulate a recalibration guideline. Specific tasks include: (1) review and utilization of existing published technical papers, (2) working with certified flow calibration facilities to obtain data, (3) obtaining data from USM manufactures on changing of electronics and/or transducers, (4) obtaining historical recalibration data, and (5) participation in selected recalibrations by PRCI member companies.

Abstract:
Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are major sources of natural resource consumption and environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, MSMEs make up a large part of the value chains of multinational and publicly traded companies, and thereforeoffer a unique point of entry to improve value chain environmental management practices while simultaneously promoting economic development in the region. In this vein, the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group, aims to improve MSME competitiveness through increased efficiency of natural resource inputs, reduction of air and water pollution, gaining higher prices for products that are certified through reputable green certifications, and increasing MSME sales by strengthening their positioning within the value chains of large companies with sustainability commitments. To inform the MIF's strategic planning on how technical assistance can be best structured to improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region through the promotion of best practices in natural resource management and environmental impact reduction, a study was undertaken by Trucost. As part of this study, Trucost's patented environmental extended input-output (EEIO) model was used to identify five economic sectors in LAC that are associated with the highest environmental implications regarding inputs (natural resource use) and outputs (environmental impacts) from production processes, specifically relating to the sectors' value chains. For each of these sectors, three large companies were identified for a more focused analysis of their activities relating to the management of value chain environmental impacts. A case study was developed for one large company per sector to document these in detail. This document summarizes the key findings and lessons learned from the case studies, indicating value chain sectors that can be targeted to most efficiently reduce value chain environmental impacts, as well as ways in which this targeting can be done.

Abstract:
This document concerns the regulatory oversight and governance of high-hazard industrial activities. A complex set of laws, regulations and institutions contribute to the social control of these activities, reinforcing and serving as a complement to the risk prevention mechanisms put in place by operating companies. This document focuses in particular on the relationship between regulators and the regulated entities and the impact of the quality of this relationship on industrial safety. The scope is the prevention of major accident hazards in different industry sectors (process industry, transport, energy), in France and at an international level. The document addresses a broad range of meanings for the term “regulator”, including the entities and people who play an official role in regulatory control and societal governance: legislators, control authorities, inspectors, as well as certified third parties with a mandate to control specific activities, and the internal risk control organizations within firms. This document aims to outline the impacts of the regulator-regulatee relationship, its contribution to the governance and control of major accident hazards, and the factors that determine the quality of this relationship and its capacity to contribute to safety.
