TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) of motivation and encouragement, for the successful implementation of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices in Indian oil and gas industries.
Abstract: The concept of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has been considered as an important organizational philosophy to achieve profits by reducing environmental risk and impact while improving the economic and social efficiency factors (ESEF). The objective of this paper is to present an approach to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) of motivation and encouragement, for the successful implementation of SSCM practices in Indian oil and gas industries. 32 CSFs were identified from the literature and opinions of academicians and industry practitioners. The Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology was used for establishing the mutual relationships among the drivers, which not only helps in understanding the relative relationship between the CSFs but also in determining their interdependence while implementing sustainability. Further, the importance of CSFs with respect to sustainability was identified based on their driving and dependence power by using MICMAC analysis. “Global Climatic Pressure and Ecological Scarcity of Resources” was determined to be the most influential criterion that may force industries to implement sustainable practices. An example of Indian oil and gas industry has been presented to show the real-world applicability of the proposed model. This study may help academicians, government regulators, and practitioners to emphasize their efforts towards implementation of SSCM at various levels of organization.

TL;DR: This study proposed new determinants, namely risk analysis and perceived IT security risk as an extension of the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) model to guide the decision and policy-makers for easy evaluation of their organizational goals for choosing the most suitable computing environment for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their business performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a natural resource-based view of the firm is proposed, which is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development, and each of these strategies are advanced for each of them regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.
Abstract: Historically, management theory has ignored the constraints imposed by the biophysical (natural) environment. Building upon resource-based theory, this article attempts to fill this void by proposing a natural-resource-based view of the firm—a theory of competitive advantage based upon the firm's relationship to the natural environment. It is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development. Propositions are advanced for each of these strategies regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.

TL;DR: This study introduces playfulness as a new factor that reflects the user’s intrinsic belief in WWW acceptance and extends and empirically validate the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the WWW context.
Abstract: Ease of use and usefulness are believed to be fundamental in determining the acceptance and use of various, corporate ITs. These beliefs, however, may not explain the user’s behavior toward newly emerging ITs, such as the World-Wide-Web (WWW). In this study, we introduce playfulness as a new factor that reflects the user’s intrinsic belief in WWW acceptance. Using it as an intrinsic motivation factor, we extend and empirically validate the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the WWW context. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

TL;DR: In this article, sixteen important barriers were identified to circular supply chain management adoption in Indian context and the listed barriers were then analysed using an integrated Interpretive Structural Modelling - MICMAC approach.
Abstract: Circular supply chain emphasizes surge in application of reuse, recycling and remanufacturing and thereby promotes the transformation of manufacturing characteristics from linear (‘take-produce-utilize-dump’) to circular model of flow of products, by-products and waste. Supply chains of manufacturing industries have become global in last few decades. Products manufactured in developing nations like India and China are being sent to developed nations for consumption in higher volumes. Developed nations have the regulatory policies, technological knowhow and modern infrastructure to adopt circular supply chain model. Their counterpart is trailing in these aspects. In literature, limited research work has been performed on identifying challenges of implementing circular supply chain management in developing nations and their contextual association. In this article, based on thorough literature review and feedback received from experts, sixteen important barriers were identified to circular supply chain management adoption in Indian context. The listed barriers were then analysed using an integrated Interpretive Structural Modelling - MICMAC approach. This study attempts to identify the contextual interactions among identified barriers and to examine their hierarchical levels in effective adoption and implementation of circular supply chain management. The findings of this research will contribute in transforming supply chains in terms of bringing economic prosperity, addressing global warming issues and generating numerous employment opportunities. Finally, some crucial policy measures and recommendations are proposed to assist managers and government bodies to adopt and manage the concepts of circular supply chains effectively in Indian context.

TL;DR: In this article, a revisión de literatura with apoyo del análisis de contenido and a modelo de regresión lineal is used to evaluate el nivel de desarrollo de la capacidad de absorción realizada (RACAP) in las Pyme colombianas.
Abstract: El artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar el nivel de desarrollo de la capacidad de absorción realizada (RACAP) en las Pyme colombianas. Se parte de una muestra de 363 Pyme colombianas (Dane,2012), se usa una revisión de literatura con apoyo del análisis de contenido y un modelo de regresión lineal, que permiten mostrar la existencia de una correlación lineal positiva entre la adquisición y asimilación del conocimiento externo en las organizaciones objeto de estudio,. Palabras clave: Capacidades de absorción, capacidades de absorción potencial, medición de las capacidades de absorción ABSTRACT:
