Bio-Caps India manufactures gelatin capsules for pharmaceutical manufacturers in India. The capsules are made in part from animal products, which represents an area of cultural sensitivity and requires the trust of end users and intermediaries who recommend specific drugs. Currently, Nepalese manufacturers deal with a single supplier and there is an opportunity for Bio-Caps to open a branch office in Kathmandu to work with local producers to provide better service. However, Nepal remains a poor country with very limited physical or business infrastructure, and it is far from certain that projected market demand can be met in circumstances of such uncertainty. The case focuses on the specific form and business model selected by the company and considers whether these are suitable for the environment to be explored.

This article examines the marketing practices of the Soviet state trust for cosmetics, TeZhe, in the 1930s. Drawing on company records, industry reports, and popular press, we show that TeZhe used an array of marketing tactics, which were similar to those of the Western manufacturers. However, TeZhe's marketing was aligned with the state's economic and sociocultural initiatives and shaped by the ideological dictates of the Soviet system.

Firms often have to integrate their daily business activities with supply chain partners, to remain competitive in today’s ever changing business environments. Information technology (IT) such as e-procurement has enabled firms to take advantage of the many benefits of integrating these business activities electronically. A review of the literature indicates that there is an apparent lack of research into the effects of trust and dependency on e-procurement adoption decisions, which is the key focus of this study. Through the use of survey questionnaire distributed to 834 manufacturers across different industries in Malaysia, this research seeks to investigate the impact of inter-organization trust and dependency on e-procurement adoption decisions. Findings revealed that dependency, interaction between trust and dependency, and size of company have a strong impact on the adoption decisions while trust has only a modest effect.

Abstract The paper describes operational efficiency research of city buses from two manufacturers during the 6 years of operation under real conditions. The presented operational efficiency assessment model includes unplanned incidental repairs costs, downtime costs, as well as the likelihood of losing customer-passenger’s trust. The results of the efficiency calculations were used to estimate the expected costs of buses’ incapacity risk. It has been demonstrated that the operational efficiency and incapacity risk costs can be a criterion for the optimal period of operation, as well as the criterion of comparison of bus makes in a transport company.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Food industry players obtain the advantages of profits growth within the halal industry whereby the market is dynamic to generate profit. Hence, this study aims to analyse the perception of food manufacturers towards the adoption of the halal food supply chain (HFSC). Design/methodology/approach For this study, 103 halal food manufacturers in Malaysia were selected as respondents. Perceptions of respondents towards HFSC were recorded using a five-point questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed by authors and adapted from a previous study. The questionnaire was circulated by two experts with proficiency in this filed. Findings By conducting exploratory factor analysis, the study found the perception of food manufacturers, which is expected business benefits play an important role in the adoption of HFSC. Halal integrity becomes the second factor to lead the company to its adoption. Organizational readiness is the third factor that drives the company to adopt HFSC. Research limitations/implications Majority of the sample was responded by Bumiputera companies. The study suggests focussing the study for non-Bumiputera companies to examine their influence towards HFSC. Furthermore, future studies should explore different sectors of halal, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, travel and tourism, logistics, finance and e-commerce. Moreover, ensuring the status of halal should be more emphasized in food chains; thus, the source of risk in HFSC should be explored to secure the integrity of halal. Practical implications The paper includes implications for the halal food industry, whereby the adoption of HFSC will contribute to the business benefits to create a more competitive advantage to the industry. Moreover, the implications of halal practice can create consumers’ trust on the halal product. Originality/value This paper fulfils an analysed need to study specifically on upstream parties by adopting HFSC.

In the building sector, value for thecustomer, is often regarded as being valuefor money and this, in turn, is achieved bymeans of competitive tendering. However,there are companies that also focus oninnovation as a competitive parameter intheir contribution; hereafter referred to asinnovative companies. Five managingdirectors from innovative companies inSweden were interviewed about howinnovation is dealt with in their respectivecompanies. As well as the importance ofinformation, this study points to twoadditional important factors for innovation,namely cooperation with a carefullychosen partner and the transference ofvalues to the employees. Those innovativecompanies made careful choices and usemeans of information, cooperation, valueand vision to create innovation in order tobuild trust for the company and for itsproducts and services.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to address the question of how value can be created through social responsibility programs or other means, so that sustainability is achieved through increasing stakeholders' participation in the process of design and selection of such programs, so that transparency is maximised and trust can be built with the lasting benefits of co-creation of value. Design/methodology/approach – This paper studies the relationship between sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and value co-creation based on qualitative research data gathered from two embedded case studies. The first case study in a large mining company operating in New Zealand and the second case study is based on the New Zealand Merino Company. Findings – Findings of this research suggest that sustainability is built with the participation of many interconnected entities, that is, suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, or more generally stakeholders whose actions are fostered by social responsibility that fuels the pride, trust, and consistency of the members of the value chain. Value in all forms – functional value, hedonic value, symbolic value and cost value – is a recurrent theme in this research data; however it is value co-creation, working together, living up to the values that their products and services promise that ultimately supports sustainability. Originality/value – This paper shows how the scope of sustainability has broadened from environmental matters to include other topics such as good corporate citizenship, business relationships and the value that is created and shared, not only with shareholders, but also within a wider community of stakeholders.

Although the United States has been one of the leading actors in international trade, limited evidence exists as to individual U.S. company relationships with overseas customers. On the basis of a sample of 201 U.S. exporting manufacturers, the authors draw a comparison between harmonious and problematic foreign business relationships. The findings reveal that, as opposed to problematic cases, firms with harmonious relationships are more experienced, employ more people, and exhibit more active behavior toward conducting their foreign business. Such firms sell to a greater number of export markets, deal with more foreign customers, and obtain more orders. The study also shows that harmonious relationships with overseas customers are distinguished by greater dependence, trust, understanding, commitment, communication, and cooperation but less distance, uncertainty, and conflict between the parties. The article provides export management with a set of guidelines for establishing, developing, and sustaining successful export business relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Things provides manufacturing with rich data for increased automation. Beyond company-internal data exploitation, the sharing of product and manufacturing process data along and across supply chains enables more efficient production flows and product lifecycle management. Even more, data-based automation facilitates short-lived ad hoc collaborations, realizing highly dynamic business relationships for sustainable exploitation of production resources and capacities. However, the sharing and use of business data across manufacturers and with end customers add requirements on data accountability, verifiability, and reliability and needs to consider security and privacy demands. While research has already identified blockchain technology as a key technology to address these challenges, current solutions mainly evolve around logistics or focus on established business relationships instead of automated but highly dynamic collaborations that cannot draw upon long-term trust relationships. We identify three open research areas on the road to such a truly accountable and dependable manufacturing enabled by blockchain technology: blockchain-inherent challenges, scenario-driven challenges, and socio-economic challenges. Especially tackling the scenario-driven challenges, we discuss requirements and options for realizing a blockchain-based trustworthy information store and outline its use for automation to achieve a reliable sharing of product information, efficient and dependable collaboration, and dynamic distributed markets without requiring established long-term trust.

The case study of the Mayflower Vehicle Systems PLC supply chain improvement programme offers a window onto a change programme implemented by one supply chain cluster of the UK automotive industry. The discussion details the transformational nature of change agent empowerment, stakeholder engagement, team-working and the dynamics of intra-firm and customer-supplier collaboration between a first tier company and its sub-suppliers. It shows that improvement programmes have a crucial function in helping customer and suppliers to closer collaboration through enabling them to work towards common objectives, to understand each other's positions, and to build on a platform of mutual trust as they strive to improve their individual and collective competitiveness and establish mechanisms to ensure that improvements are sustainable. The study has further value in illuminating the adaptation of a lean production model akin to the Toyota Production System to a specific case supported by the Accelerate Initiative and facilitated by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' Industry Forum.

Full textAbstract:
Many companies that go global use the entry mode of having a foreign distributor instead of setting up an own intermediary in the country. This is beneficial because it is lower risk, requires lower capital investments and the manufacturer gains the distributor’s expertise in the new market. Voxit AB is one of those growing companies that are in the starting phase of exporting one of their products within the area of speech recognition. The preparation for entering a new market through a foreign distributor is something Voxit is particularly interested in at the moment. A part of that is to build and keep a sustainable relationship with the foreign distributor. With the purpose to increase my understanding about the relationship between manufacturers and foreign distributors, and to contribute with propositions to Voxit’s future international marketing strategy, six interviews with manufacturers were made. The focus is to study the factors trust, cultural differences, information exchange, commitment and opportunism that are affecting the relationship between these manufacturers and their foreign distributors and to see closer how these factors can be approached for a small company such as Voxit. The above purpose developed the research question; how should a manufacturer company such as Voxit, a SME that is starting to export a new product, develop a relationship with a foreign distributor? Findings reveal that all factors that were studied, such as information exchange and cultural distance, are affecting the relationship between a manufacturer and a foreign distributor. However, the factors trust and commitment are especially affecting the relationship, which should be recognised when building a relationship with a foreign distributor.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this Master’s Report was to determine an appropriate preservation strategy for a particular set of buildings and their accompanying art from the Modern Architecture Movement. The research question was: What type of strategy is best suited for the preservation of installed art created for Modern style buildings? The study analyzed preservation strategies afforded to Modern art and architecture
during rehabilitation of the buildings. The case studies are Modern Movement office or bank buildings with art commissioned for the space by the architects or owners. An analysis of the main case study’s preservation strategies looks at all the actions taken and proposed to protect, not only the material fabric of the art, but the primary interior space. The main case study was the American National Bank building in Austin, Texas designed by Kuehne, Brooks and Barr Architects with a mural by Seymour Fogel. The secondary case studies were: Harry Bertoia sculpture + Manufacturers Trust Building, New York City, Pietro
Belluschi mural + Equitable Building, Portland, Oregon, Richard Lippold sculpture + Inland Steel Building, Chicago, and Roger Darricarrere dalle de verre + Columbia Savings Buildings, Los Angeles. After study and
analysis, the preservation strategies were categorized in four categories: in situ conservation, removal,
recreation/replacement and demolition/destruction. It was concluded that there is not a general approach for
these projects, and each should be analyzed through various factors (Design Intent, Intrinsic Value,
Collaboration and Context) to determine the appropriate intervention.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
Digital transformation strengthens the interconnection of companies in order to develop optimized and better customized, cross-company business models. These models require secure, reliable, and traceable evidence and monitoring of contractually agreed information to gain trust between stakeholders. Blockchain technology using smart contracts allows the industry to establish trust and automate cross-company business processes without the risk of losing data control. A typical cross-company industry use case is equipment maintenance. Machine manufacturers and service providers offer maintenance for their machines and tools in order to achieve high availability at low costs. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how maintenance use cases are attempted by utilizing hyperledger fabric for building a chain of trust by hardened evidence logging of the maintenance process to achieve legal certainty. Contracts are digitized into smart contracts automating business that increase the security and mitigate the error-proneness of the business processes.

Innovations in sports goods are often the results of new materials. Since sport equipment manufacturers have, in many cases, no specialized capabilities in material engineering, they rely on partners who are experts in inventing or further enhancing components. Today there are many business models known that reach from simply buying the component, to licensing, to joint innovation management and beyond. One of these strategies is component branding or co-branding as a way of benefitting from the image or perception of a partner. According to this strategy, a sports equipment producer may signal their partnership with an innovative chemical company to consumers in order to gain spillover, such as increased trust in the innovation, which affects for their final product. In order to conceptualize this strategic approach, this chapter presents a real case and the theoretical background to analyze what companies may gain from co-branding. Furthermore, these insights are used to develop a framework that can be used to understand the basic principals behind such strategy. Finally, the pros and cons are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Using contingency theory (CT) of fit as a foundation for this research, we report the development of the notion of ‘green IT alignment framework' and its determinants. This is followed by an analysis of the relationship between capability areas (i.e., contextual factors) and green IT alignment while the company pursues GREEN. Data were collected from a case study where a car manufacturer is our research setting—considered as suitable for this type of research. The author found that a total of 18 capability areas over three domains of technical, organizational, and environmental are a premise for green IT alignment. Such capability areas are considered as new and interdependent of traditional strategic alignment capabilities. The results of this research demonstrate an appropriate green IT alignment framework that is trust worthy to construct for understanding the factors of IT-business fit while pursing GREEN. Implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In times of globalization the importance of cross-company collaboration has significantly increased. An appropriate example is the automotive industry where Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) need to collaborate with several globally distributed suppliers to develop innovative high-tech cars. In this case, sharing information with the collaboration partner is a complex and risky process for the company but nevertheless an essential factor for development projects to be successful. Knowledge is the most important resource in today’s economy, especially in specific branches [I]. However, the damage caused by industrial espionage and product piracy has continually increased [2]. Thus, the protection of IP (intellectual property) during data exchange within the product development process is challenging and highly depends on trust between the collaboration partners. Usually, rights management in data exchange is mainly based on user groups and roles as well as by objects and projects. This classification does not meet the requirements of rights management in this paper. A new approach is introduced to manage data exchange rights by trust and reputation in product development collaboration.

Abstract Vibratory load transmission reduction for precision space optics is demonstrated through a new concept of electronic differential controlled isolation. Lightweight, compact and with very low power consumption, differential controlled isolation can meet the active/passive isolation performance needs in large precision optics, launch system, science instrument modules and observation systems. This includes large optic, interferometric and formation flying platforms. Inexpensive to manufacture, the technology provides flexibility in design to meet many challenges. Although the main thrust of this research was to address OTA truss/ISIM isolation needs, the developed technology is directly applicable to many mission critical needs in launch and deployment of precision space systems.
