Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine how four large organisations have approached the implementation of new eBusiness mechanisms: namely online order processing, eProcurement, reverse auctions, and a private exchange. The objectives are to establish whether supply chain integration is an identified goal for the firms involved and to evaluate the extent of integration achieved throu...

Supply chain management (SCM) has recently attracted significant interests from academics and industry. Along with the growing concern of implementing supply chain management in many enterprises, there has been a proliferation of two kinds of software solutions, business-to-business (B2B) and supply chain management (SCM), which aim at improving the performance of supply chain. The first part o...

Supply chains can be disrupted at both local and global levels. Just-In-Time (JIT) companies should be particularly interested in managing supply chain failure risk as they often have very little inventory to buffer themselves when their upstream supply chain fails. We develop previous research further and present a strategic framework to manage supply chain failure in JIT supply chains. We ide...

The concept of this literature review is based on the scientific hypothesis that inflammation, which basis various diseases, has common features, stages, pathophysiologically active substances control activity inflammatory reactions, and general genetic control. In review, individual diseases are grouped into several models leading pathogenetic mechanisms inflammation: autoimmune, microbial, ly...

This paper reports the results of a comparative study of quality tools and methods adoption by operations and supply chain managers. A survey was administered to both types of managers in the Western United States. Performing a Kruskal Wallis analysis, we found support for the hypothesis that operations and supply chain managers approach quality management differently. We found that operations ...

Appropriate changes in financial development are largely known to cause growth. Inflation, gross capital formation and government expenditure, believably, succinctly controls the effects causes long term This paper analyzed this for Kenya paying exceptional attention on their asymmetric effects. The most reliable important results supported that positive asymmetries of increases run growth unli...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS A phalanx growth form enables clonal plants to make better use of resource-rich patches, whereas a guerrilla growth form provides them with opportunities to escape from resource-poor sites. Leymus secalinus produces both spreading (guerrilla form) and clumping ramets (phalanx form). Here, the hypothesis that a trade-off between the two growth forms in L. secalinus exists und...

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and with complex multiplication by OK , the ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic field K. Let p be a prime of good reduction for E. It is known that E(Fp) has a structure (1) E(Fp) ' Z/dpZ⊕ Z/epZ with uniquely determined dp|ep. We give an asymptotic formula for the average order of ep over primes p ≤ x of good reduction, with improved error term O...
