Environmental issues require a new manufacturing paradigm because the current mass production and mass consumption paradigm inevitably cause them. We have already proposed a new manufacturing paradigm called the “Post Mass Production Paradigm ~PMPP!” that advocates sustainable production by decoupling economic growth from material and energy consumption. To realize PMPP, appropriate planning of...

Differences between product and corporate carbon footprint seriously hinder its wider implementation. The compound method based on financial accounts is a tiered hybrid analysis developed from advances in ecological footprint which main strength is its capability to calculate both product and corporate carbon footprint in a comprehensive assessment. This work aims to evaluate the compound metho...

A streamlined life-cycle assessment (SLCA) is typically performed at the scale of the completed product. One could also, however, perform SLCAs on components or subsystems (moving down in scale) or on all a corporation’s products (moving up in scale). By analogy with biological ecology, it seems likely that analyses at different scales would ask different questions and reveal different insights...

We describe our approach and mechanisms to support the engineering of organizational processes throughout their life cycle, and our current understanding of what activities are included in the process life cycle. We then go on to discuss our approach, computational mechanisms, and experiences in supporting many of these life cycle activities, as well as compare it to other related efforts. Alon...

Today, no corporate can do business without software. So, the demand for new software applications at low cost within short time period is currently increasing at an exponential rate which requires a substantial change to software industries. However, conventional methodologies have not achieved such drastic gain of the productivity and quality yet. Reuse of products, processes and experience o...

In this study, drawing on firm life cycle theory, we focus the corporate performance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) engagement via financial stress consider moderate effect transparency, slack, environmental uncertainty. The industry-year fixed effects panel regression analysis is executed based data including 11,742 firm-year observations for 1,486 Chinese A-share listed compan...

This study investigates the effect of financial–accounting variables on a firm’s distinct life cycle phase. The concentrates real estate sector and uses data publicly listed REITs which are traded in European market. To assess empirical argument, multinomial panel logit model is employed. results show that leverage, dividend distribution, size sales variable have significant predictive power ov...
