SRM is a generic framework for reliable multicast data delivery. The retransmission requests and replies used in SRM error recovery are multicast to the entire group. SRM uses random timers to avoid the message implosion problem, and the eeectiveness of SRM's duplicate suppression depends critically on the design of these random timers. In order to achieve good performance in a dynamic network ...

Abstract Many studies on buyer–supplier-supplier triads demonstrate the value of interactions between three business actors instead two for identifying triadic collaboration strategies that can lead firms to improve their performance. However, there is little research date has explored which specific lean improvements various types to. This paper fills this gap. We study an automotive supplier ...

If implementation of proposals to engineer the climate through solar-radiation management (SRM) ever occurs, it is likely to be contingent on climate sensitivity. However, modelling studies examining the effectiveness of SRM as a strategy to offset anthropogenic climate change have used only the standard parameterizations of atmosphere–ocean general circulation models that yield climate sensiti...

Supplier integration has been a hot topic for both academicians and practitioners since the booming of supply chain management and popularity of Japanese supplier management practices. Previous studies have contributed a lot to the performance impacts of supplier integration. However, not much has been done in investigating the enablers, and little attention has been paid from the resource-base...

Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has two characteristics that make it an attractive means for managing climate risk: it is quick and it is cheap. SRM cannot, however, exactly offset CO2-driven climate change, and its use introduces novel climate and environmental risks. We introduce SRM in a simple economic model of climate change that is designed to explore the interaction between uncertainty ...

Purpose The importance of sustainable supply chain management practices (SSCMPs) in the financial performance firms is increasing significantly. However, influence SSCMPs on can vary across sectors and contexts. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding sustainability small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) food processing industry. For this, environment practices, customer supp...

one of the important decisions which impacts all firms’ activities is the supplier selection problem. since the 1950s, several works have addressed this problem by treating different aspects and instances. in this paper, a combined multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) technique (ea-promethee) has been applied to implement a proper decision making. to this aim, after reviewing the theoretica...

Strategic buyer–supplier relationships are increasingly viewed in both the scholarly and practitioner literatures as key drivers of sustainable competitive advantage. In particular, relationship specific adaptations – the extent to which exchange members make tangible or intangible adaptations for a partner – are acknowledged as one of the central issues. Such adaptations need to be examined in...
