Technological Frames: A Qualitative Study on Logistics and Supply Chain Management Keskin, Halit; Yildiz Technical University Başaran, Hatice Tuba; Yildiz Technical University management and organization frame, technological frame, social cognition, logistics and supply chain management This study aims to provide an insight for the concept of “frame” in general and “technological frame” in particular, which have gained considerable interest in management and organization studies. Additionally, it investigates the factors affecting technological frame construct, which is defined as people’s “assumptions, expectations and knowledge about the purpose, context, importance and role of technology’’ (Orlikowski and Gash, 1994). On the other hand, the importance of technology in the success of logistics and supply chain management has increased dramatically over the recent years in line with the emergence of new technologies. Based on this, we conducted an exploratory qualitative study, including semi-structured interviews with employees working in the logistics and supply chain management area. After content analysis, we found out that past experiences with technology, biases towards or against the new technology, personality, and technology knowledge and competence are the individual factors whereas  organizational culture, colleagues’ attitudes, making stakeholders participate in the process of establishment, understanding the differences between employees, managers, and other stakeholders,  and aligning them on a common goal, and providing training and on-time feedback to technology-related problems are the organizational factors affecting emotional and cognitive experiences of employees with a new technology they encounter at the workplace for the first time. Perhaps the most important finding of the study is that it has an affective dimension. Future research should provide further validation with research sample covering larger contexts.

Common Discrepancies in Letter of Credit: Experience from Selected Banks in Bangladesh Imtiaz, Md Mustain; Assistant Director, Bangladesh Bank (The Central Bank of Bangladesh) www.bb.org.bd official email: mustain.imtiaz@bb.org.bd Letter of Credit, Discrepancy, LC, International Trade, Bangladesh Letter of Credit (LC) opening banks receive transport and other documents from the LC issuing Bank through banking channels. Upon receiving the information, bankers scrutinize the documents to determine if there is a deviation or discrepancy per the previously agreed terms and conditions. Based on the primary data from this study, forty-two discrepancies were identified. The discrepancies were grouped into four categories based on their nature. These are missing information, mismatched information, and non-submission of documents. The data were analyzed using the R Program and visualized with ggplot2. The study reveals that the most common discrepancy is mismatched information in warranty certificates. Most of the cases have only one discrepancy. The study also identified potential outliers, such as mismatched information in Currency, quality assurance certificate, and country of origin. Regression analysis shows that there is no significant relationship between the values of LC and the number of discrepancies.  Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2024-11-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/533 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 10, Issue 2 (2024): December; 266-277 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/533/pdf_288 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Reshaping Global Supply Chain Fragmentation: The Geopolitics–Digitalization-Sustainability Nexus İn Ethiopia Demeke, Chekole Sete; Yunnan University of Finance and Economics project management Geopolitics, Digitalization, Sustainability, Supply Chain Fragmentation, Resilience, Trade Policy, Ethiopia international trade This study critically explores how the interdependent forces of geopolitical uncertainty, digital fragmentation, and climate vulnerability, termed the “triple nexus, " reshape Ethiopia’s role within increasingly fragmented global supply chains. As a landlocked economy at the crossroads of major regional initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), Ethiopia presents a unique case of both strategic potential and structural fragility. Utilizing a systematic literature review guided by PRISMA protocols, the research synthesizes multidisciplinary evidence to assess how escalating regional conflicts, trade policy volatility, and overdependence on the Djibouti corridor expose Ethiopia’s logistics networks to chronic disruptions. Concurrently, pervasive digital divides limit the adoption of traceability and automation technologies, while reliance on foreign infrastructure raises data sovereignty concerns. Sustainability pressures, including climate-related export shocks and weak labor governance, further challenge the country’s competitiveness under evolving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. In response, the study proposes an integrated institutional resilience framework anchored in geo-economics, digital inclusion, and sustainability law. It identifies actionable strategies such as corridor diversification, rural digitalization, and green industrial policy. The findings underscore that for Ethiopia, and similarly positioned economies, addressing the triple nexus is no longer optional but essential to achieving resilient, inclusive, and future-ready supply chain integration.

Commercial Diplomacy in the Context of Export Sophistication: The MIKTA Case Uslu, Meral Commercial Diplomacy, Integration, Export Promotion, Sophistication, MIKTA Commercial diplomacy has been of interest to researchers in the context of export development due to the many empirical studies indicating that the international economic integrations provide more growth and employment for the governments and internationalization for the enterprises. Unlike the strict and/or regional economic integrations, MIKTA was created as an informal and cross-regional group of ‘middle powers’ bringing together Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, and Australia in 2013. Being distant apart from each other geographically and having many differences besides their similarities, each of the member states is considered influential in their regions and of high importance for the paradigm shift to a new world order. This paper aims to figure out if MIKTA has been utilized as a powerful advocate for enhancing exports of the member states while also resuming sustainable economic growth. For this reason, it is analyzed to what extent the members’ exports were and have become sophisticated, meaning capital intensive or labour intensive, over the past 20 years and how the members’ economic growth rates were contributed. For the analysis, PRODY and EXPY indices are calculated representing the sophistication levels of, respectively, product groups and the total exports of the states.

B2B Customer Satisfaction: Customer Journey Management Capability, CSR and Value Co-Creation Fidan, Mustafa Suat; Yildiz Technical University Kırcova, İbrahim; Yildiz Technical University Business Administration; Marketing B2B Marketing, Customer Journey Management, Corporate Social Responsibility, Value Co-Creation, Customer Satisfaction This study aims to validate the measurement model of a sequential conceptual mechanism designed to explain the formation of customer satisfaction in B2B (business-to-business) markets. The model proposes a theoretical causal flow explaining how Customer Journey Management Capability (CJMC) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices translate into customer satisfaction (CS) through Value Co-Creation (VcC). Within this framework, the distinction between Philanthropic CSR (PCSR) and Business practice CSR (BCSR) constitutes one of the fundamental building blocks of the mechanism. Furthermore, the study incorporates the role of the changing balance between digital and physical touchpoints (DvsPTP) into the model. The present study does not aim to test the structural model; rather, it focuses on validating the measurement properties of the proposed framework prior to the main study. Accordingly, in a pilot study conducted with a sample of n = 48, the PLS-SEM approach was utilized. The measurement model was analyzed using SmartPLS 4 software, the validity and reliability of the measurement model were established, and the reflective nature of the constructs was confirmed through Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis (CTA). The findings provide strong preliminary empirical evidence regarding the theoretical consistency of the proposed conceptual mechanism and establish a methodological foundation for large-sample structural model testing in future research. This study contributes to the B2B literature by offering a measurement-oriented preliminary validation of a novel sequential conceptual mechanism.

Pricing-Supply Chain Issues of Staple Food Crops in Rural-Urban Tanzania Siwandeti, Meshack; College of Business Education, Mwanza - Tanzania Israel, Baraka; College of Business Education, Mbeya - Tanzania Agricultural supply chain, supply chain issues, staple food crops, market prices E31, Q02, Q11, Q14, Q21. The current study explores the effect of supply chain issues (SCIs) on the market prices of staple food crops in rural-urban Tanzania using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey and simple random sampling. Data were sourced from 313 farmers and traders of staple food crops from five regions in rural and urban markets within Tanzania. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and marginal effect based on a binary logit model were used for data analysis. The results revealed that SCIs do not offer an equal and uniform effect on market prices of staple food crops. Specifically, deficient SC infrastructure, inflated farming costs, SC and logistics costs and an indirect distribution strategy demonstrated a significant positive effect on market prices of staple food crops. Conversely, intensive competition within agricultural SC and the bullwhip effect had a significantly negative influence. Towards stabilizing the market prices of staple food crops, the authors recommend centralizing market demand and supply information among farmers and traders, thereby eliminating the use of intermediaries by establishing and joining farmers’ associations and cooperative societies. Also, to make transportation and distribution of staple food crops easier and more cost-effective, local governments should take streamlined measures to improve road conditions, especially in rural areas where farming mostly takes place. While previous studies address the causes of fluctuation in market prices of agricultural products from climatic, economic and legal perspectives, this study contributes to a better understanding of the causes of variations in market prices of staple food crops from SC perspective in rural-urban Tanzania.

The Assessment of Functionality of National Electronic Procurement System of Tanzania (NeST) in Procurement Process on Local Governments. A case of Kinondoni Municipal Council Joseph, Julitha; College of Business Education-Dar es Salaam Masoud, Yussuf; College of Business Education Public Procurement Electronic Procurement system, Functionality, Local Government Authorities, Electronic Procurement This study assessed the functionality of the National Electronic Procurement System of Tanzania (NeST) in the procurement process at Kinondoni Municipal Council. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing questionnaires collected from 100 respondents and interviewing 15 key informants, including procurement officers, contract managers, compliance officers, and other system users. The quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS and thematic analysis for qualitative data. Reliability of the research instruments was established through pre-testing and the computation of Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, all of which yielded values exceeding the recommended threshold of 0.7, indicating acceptable internal consistency. The findings indicated that NeST is largely functional, as most users rated its processing speed as moderate to fast and reported low error rates; however, challenges such as system downtime and limited automation persist. Overall, NeST was concluded to be a significant step forward in improving public procurement practices within local government authorities in Tanzania. Therefore, the government should implement appropriate measures to improve the system's speed and ensure that all procuring entities have reliable internet access, allowing users to utilize the system effectively. Moreover, the system should integrate with other systems that are used in procurement contract management.

Economic Impact of the Japan–China–USA Free Trade Agreement on Japan using both Static and Dynamic GTAP Models Akahori, Hirokazu; Akita Prefectural University Hasegawa, Shun; Hokkaido University Sawauchi, Daisuke; Hokkaido University Yamamoto, Yasutaka; Hokkaido University Agricultural economics Free trade agreement, Japan; Global Trade Analysis Project; CGE The Japanese government has been actively involved in so-called mega Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The purpose of this paper is to measure the potential impact of the Japan–China–USA Free Trade Agreement (JCUFTA) on Japan; in particular, on the Japanese agricultural sector using static and dynamic GTAP models. When tariffs are eliminated between Japan, the USA and China, the GDPs of the three countries will all increase, but the impact on the GDPs of the three countries is less than 1% in both static and dynamic models. The results also show that the total value of agricultural production in Japan is expected to decline by more than 10%.

Economic Impacts of Renewable Energy and Supply Chain in Turkey Kızıl Karakuş, Umay; Istanbul Commerce University Kibritci Artar, Okşan logistics Renewable energy consumption, Gross Domestic Product, ARDL limit test, Toda-Yamamoto logistics;economic growth;supply chain The fact that the reserves of traditional energy sources will run out over the years and the problem of external dependency have led to the development of a renewable energy alternative. In addition to supply and cost problems, traditional energy sources can cause irreversible damage to nature. The need for energy is increasing day by day and is directly related to the existence of living communities, human beings and civilizations in every region of life and all over the world. The need for energy and energy-related activities is growing in order to realize economic growth, social improvement and to improve social welfare and health. This study consists of 30 annual observations between 1991 and 2020. While GDP is the Gross Domestic Product for the Turkish economy in constant dollars for 2015, RNE represents the percentage of renewable energy consumption in total energy consumption. In the study, whether the series are stationary or not was tested with Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) unit root test and Phillips–Perron (PP) unit root tests. It has seen that ADF and PP unit root test findings were obtained for the variables. In this case, it was determined that both variables in the research models were first order stationary variables. There is a statistical cointegration relationship between the variables at the 1% significance level. When the Toda-Yamamoto causality test was applied, it was determined that there was no causality from the renewable energy consumption rate to the Gross Domestic Product; A statistically significant causality was detected from Gross Domestic Product to renewable energy consumption rate.

Determinants of Centralized Public Procurement Effectiveness: Evidence from Selected Ethiopian Higher Public Education Institutions Abrahim, Kedir Yusuf; Jimma university Tarekegn, Ganfure management Centralized procurement, Determinants, Effectiveness, Regression. No This study focuses on factors affecting centralized procurement system effectiveness in higher Ethiopian public educational Institutions. To achieve this objective the researchers employed the explanatory research design with a primary data sources from 82 employees through questionnaires and interview in purposively selected of public educational Institutions and Public property procurement team leaders of PPPDSA at federal level.  The Pearson correlation analysis outcome showed that all explanatory variables were positively influencing the effectiveness of centralized procurement system but at different degree of correlation. The multiple linear regression analysis result of the study also revealed that public policy, control activities and staffs’ educational competency of sampled public education institutions strongly and positively affected centralized procurement system effectiveness at 4.2 percent, 0.01 percent and 0.01 percent respectively. Similarly, monitoring and contract management affected the centralized procurement system effectiveness at 0.00.01 and 5.2 percent respectively. Therefore, to avoid the return of defect goods, malpractices, high compliance and untimely response of procurement orders, the PPPDS and sampled Ethiopian higher public educational Institutions should design very clear procurement planning criteria that fits the national procurement guideline, strong internal control system with good evaluation system. Moreover, it also advisable if the sampled Ethiopian higher public educational institutions train their staffs that partake in procurement processes and apply a computerized procurement system to support their procurement policies and further improve their overall centralized procurement system effectiveness.  Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law No 2020-12-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion explanatory research application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/195 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 6, Issue 2 (2020): December; 79-89 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/195/pdf_102 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/195/33 Copyright (c) 2020 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Understanding the Employee Exit Experience: A Multi-Theoretical and Multi-Stage Review Güney, Kağan; Demiroglu Bilim University Esen, Emel; Yildiz Technical University Organisational Behaviour Exit experience; Turnover; Offboarding; Employer reputation Employee turnover research has traditionally focused on antecedents and outcomes, overlooking the subjective, emotional, and relational dimensions of how employees experience organisational exit. This review reconceptualises the employee exit experience as a temporally extended, multi-stage process encompassing pre-exit cognitive and emotional disengagement, interactional and procedural dynamics during the transition, and post-exit identity reconstruction and narrative formation, integrating five theoretical perspectives, which are the Unfolding Model of Turnover, Psychological Contract Theory, Social Exchange Theory, Employee Voice Theory, and Affective Events Theory. The review proposes a multi-theoretical framework that captures the cognitive, affective, and reputational complexities of exit. The review highlights how pre-exit factors, such as job dissatisfaction, organisational commitment, and perceived support, shape disengagement; how interactional fairness and communication during offboarding influence the affective tone; and how post-exit storytelling and alums relationships impact organisational reputation and talent attraction. It concludes by identifying key research gaps, including the need for qualitative, longitudinal, and cross-cultural studies that examine exit dynamics and reputational spillovers in transparent labour markets. Overall, this review positions the employee exit experience as a strategic and relational phenomenon, reframing exit not as an endpoint but as an ongoing process with enduring implications for individual identity, organisational culture, and employer reputation.

A Study on the OSH Performance Model in Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants Ersoy, Nagihan; Uskudar University Bingöl, Nuri; Uskudar University Ekmekçi, İsmail; Istanbul Ticaret University engineering AHP, Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants, MCDM, Energy Logistics energy,coal-fired thermal power plants Coal-fired Thermal Power Plants (CTPP) consist of many sections that are risky in terms of occupational safety. CTPP are also important part of electrical Energy Logistics systems. Then it is of great importance to examine which parts of complex systems such as coal-fired thermal power plants are more important in terms of occupational health and safety. CTPP are divided into nine main sections as coal parking area, ash and slag disposal facility, boiler maintenance service, mechanical workshop, measurement and control service, turbine maintenance service, technical office, tea and rest room and use of company vehicles section. In this paper, a weighting and ranking study has been conducted in terms of risk analysis of nine departments in CTPP. For this purpose, accident statistics according to years were obtained from an actively working CTPP, and the results obtained with AHP and the risk significance weight values were compared with these results. Since CTPP are very complicated and complex structures, it is of great importance to determine the risk levels of the departments more significantly and objectively from the point of view of OHS. From this point of view, CTPP were analyzed for the first time within the scope of OHS with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. According to the findings obtained in our study, coal parking area, ash slag disposal facility and boiler maintenance service were determined as the most risky sections in terms of OHS. With this study, a more effective assessment can be made in terms of OHS for CTPP, so that work accidents will be reduced, energy production will be carried out in a safer and more sustainable way.

Fair-Trade Certification Impacts on Social Responsibility and Ethics of Smallholder Coffee Producers in Ethiopia Demissie, Wondaferahu Mulugeta; Jimma University Whakeshum, Sisay Tolla Bulga, Fikadu Gutu Fair-Trade Certification, Coffee, Social Responsibility, Ethiopia In Ethiopia, more than one third of foreign exchange is attributed to coffee product and the production process engages almost one fourth of the working population of the country. Small-scale coffee farmers producing for fair-trade market outlets are frequently considered to benefit from better prices and stable market outlets. Yet, some empirical studies are verifying this notion adversely. Therefore, this study tried to assess the impact of fair-trade certification on social responsibility and ethics of small-scale coffee farmers using both descriptive and econometrics techniques for the selected 383 respondents in Jimma zone of Ethiopia. The study investigated that the introduction of fair-trade certification among small-scale coffee producers matters the inquiry of social responsibility and development significantly. Logistic regression result indicates that, the coefficient for the variable fair-trade membership status is 3.412. This result implies that for every one-unit increase in fair-trade membership status, we expect 3.412 increase in the log-odds of the dependent variable employment creation. Also, the coefficient for the variable fair-trade membership status is 1.319. This shows that for every one-unit increase in fair trade membership, we expect a 1.319 increase in the log-odds of the dependent variable. Also, education level and family size affect child school enrollment significantly and positively. However, the coverage and development of fair-trade certification in the study area was very low. Therefore, extension of fair-trade certification should be well thought-out as one of sustainable development riding instruments among policy makers.

Characteristics of Child Murder in Deep Article 460 of the 2023 Criminal Code Based on Dignity Justice Slamet, Slamet; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Prasetyo, Teguh Mangesti, Yovita Arie; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya law Child Murder, Criminal Code 2023, Article 460, Dignity Justice, Child Protection law Child murder is a criminal act that has very complex legal, social, psychological, and moral dimensions, considering that children are a group that is physically and psychologically in the most vulnerable position. The 2023 Criminal Code through Article 460 presents an important breakthrough by providing special provisions related to child murder, which is different from ordinary murder. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the crime of child murder as stipulated in Article 460 of the 2023 Criminal Code and examine its relevance to the principle   of dignified justice. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that Article 460 of the 2023 Criminal Code has three main characteristics, namely: (1) the existence of special protection for children as victims of criminal acts, (2) criminal aggravation as a form of stricter legal protection, and (3) an orientation to dignified justice that balances the interests of perpetrators, victims, and society and emphasizes respect for human dignity. Furthermore, this article not only functions as a repressive norm but also as a moral and educational instrument in upholding human values and protecting children's rights. In conclusion, Article 460 of the 2023 Criminal Code is a form of progressive progress in Indonesia's criminal law politics, although the success of its implementation still depends heavily on the consistency of law enforcement officials, the effectiveness of the criminal justice system, and public awareness in respecting children's rights.

The Role of Co-operative Societies in Supply Chain of Agricultural Products: A Review of Literature Israel, Baraka; College of Business Education, Dar es Salaam - Tanzania Co-Operative Societies, Agricultural Supply Chain, Agricultural Products Co-operative societies and the agricultural sector have emerged among the important activities that contribute significantly towards socio-economic transformation in many countries. Generally, the agricultural sector is dominated by smallholder farmers who depend on middlemen in supplying and marketing agricultural products due to the long marketing chain. This paper examines the role of co-operative societies in strengthening operations of the agricultural supply chain through an extensive literature review. The study reviewed and connected co-operatives’ activities with the operational requirements at each node of agricultural supply chain. To have the latest set of data, the study reviewed articles published between 2017-2021 with a focus on co-operative societies and agricultural supply chains. From the literature, the study revealed a significant role of co-operative societies in the supply chain of agricultural products. Co-operatives provide operational, technical, financial and support services to agricultural supply chain actors. These include provision of agricultural inputs and loans to farmers, production, processing, transportation, storage and marketing of agricultural products. This study advances the body of knowledge by linking co-operative’s activities with the agricultural supply chain model and offers managerial implications to co-operatives societies, policymakers and agricultural supply chain actors. Further research is needed to determine the challenges facing practical integration of co-operatives societies with agricultural supply chain.

Meaning the Phrase “Own Demand” in Leadership In East Java Michael, Tomy; Faculty Of Law Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya leadership; phrase “own demand”; east java This study uses normative legal research that uses legislation and current conditions to carry out legal interpretation. In this case, the phrase "self-request" is defined as a request that originates from his own awareness that his actions have harmed the community.  This means that there is no conflict preceded by the act of resigning oneself.  Self-awareness of actions is important to understand the meaning of “self-demand”. The Governor of East Java is better off resigning at his own request because this action will make the state focus on legal certainty.

The Individual Employment Contracts in Conflict of Laws Under International and Domestic Labour Relation Laws in Mainland Tanzania Khartoum, Moh'd Masoud; University of Dodoma. Law Employment, Contract, Conflict of Laws Individual Employment Contract in Conflict of Laws and labour relations laws in Mainland Tanzania. Job mobility has become an enormous issue in the current modern world. All over the world, people sometimes move from one place to another in search of green pastures and life. Persons are sometimes forced by circumstances, as earlier stated, to move and work in countries far from places of their original nationalities. It is on such a note that, persons are compelled to abide by employment contracts that are governed by laws, not of their countries of origin. In the course of working, inevitably, employment disputes become unavoidable, and in this situation, where there is an issue to be dealt with by the courts of law in this area, a complex issue of which law should apply in determining the issue in question arises and becomes a task of the court to make a determination of the same. This article generally discusses individual employment contracts in conflict of laws perspectives under international and domestic labour relation laws, with a special focus on the Rome Conventions, its Regulations, and labour laws applicable in Mainland Tanzania. The article also addresses circumstances under which the Rome Convention, its existing Regulations as well as domestic labour relation laws pave the way in addressing the issue of individual employment contracts in the field of conflicts of laws in Mainland Tanzania. Specifically, this work addresses the concept of employee and employer view of the international and domestic labour relation laws as used also in conflict of laws. This is touched on in this research article because it is one of the complicated areas when it comes to the determination of employment contract disputes containing a foreign element, which has indeed caused a great debate in conflict of laws.

Limitation of Power of the Counsel to Review the File in the Criminal Procedure: Law No. 6572 And It’s Consequences Koç, Coşkun; Malatya Bar Association Fair Trial, Equality of Arms Principle, Counsel, Examine the File The Article No. 153 of the Law of Criminal Procedure, which regulates the power of the counsel to examine the file, has been amended by the Law No. 6572, the Article No. 44, dated 02.12.2014. According to the amendment, if the power of the counsel to examine the content of the file or taking copies of the documents jeopardizes the purpose of the investigation, it can be limited by the judge upon request of the prosecutor. However, limiting the power of the counsel to examine the investigation file is against the European Convention on Human Rights and the Constitution. Indeed, the European Convention on Human Rights gives a ruling of violation of right in cases where it determines such a limitation of power. The power of the counsel to examine the content of the file is the sine qua non of a fair trial. It also serves the purpose of revealing the truth. In this study, we will try to examine the effect of the amendment made with the Article 44 of the Law No. 6572 about power of the counsel to examine the file on the fair trial principle.

Green Supply Chain Management Practices towards Sustainable Development: The Case of Food and Beverage Manufacturing Companies Selestini, John M; College of Business Education Kabelele, Deus P; College of Business Education Supply Chain Management; Green Supply Chain Green Supply Chain, Supply Chain Management, Sustainable Development Q56 The urgent need to address climate change has propelled businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable practices, including the implementation of green supply chains. This study explores the concept of green supply chain management (GSCM) and its adoption in the developing countries context, with a specific focus on Tanzania. Despite the growing awareness of sustainability, the adoption of GSCM practices is still in its nascent stages. Drawing from the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) theory, the study identifies key drivers and barriers to the adoption of GSCM practices. While factors like consumer demand, supplier collaboration, and technology innovation positively influence adoption, challenges such as lack of awareness, financial constraints, and weak infrastructure impede progress. The study underlines the importance of targeted interventions to overcome barriers and promote the holistic adoption of GSCM practices. Recommendations include enhancing awareness through training programs, providing financial incentives for SMEs, investing in infrastructure development, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and fostering collaborative partnerships among supply chain stakeholders. By addressing these challenges and implementing the recommended strategies, stakeholders can advance environmental sustainability and resilience within supply chains, contributing to a more sustainable future for all.

The Effects of Auditors’ Credibility and the Implementation of Audit Recommendations in Enhancing Procurement Performance in Tanzania Kellya, Emanuel Remyston; Mzumbe University Nsimbila, Paul Maganga; Mzumbe University Procurement and Supply Chain Management Keywords: Audit, credibility, independent, procurement, recommendations Business Administration The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of auditors’ credibility and the implementation of audit recommendations in enhancing procurement performance in Tanzania. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. Both probability and non-probability sampling techniques were employed to obtain a sample size of 132 respondents drawn from four Local Government Authorities (LGAs). Data were collected through questionnaires, documentary review, and interviews. Data were analyzed using content analysis, descriptive analysis, and multiple regression analysis. On one hand, study findings revealed that LGAs do not provide sufficient training to internal auditors on procurement-related matters, internal auditors are not fully independent in discharging their duties, and there is a knowledge gap among auditors in terms of their professionalism and understanding of procurement laws and regulations. On the other hand, the study revealed inefficient implementation of procurement audit recommendations, staff implicated for procurement malpractices are not punished accordingly, and audited organizations do not train their staff to bridge the knowledge gap identified by auditors. Moreover, there is infrequent monitoring of LGAs through auditing. This study is limited in terms of scope as it covered four LGAs out of 184 in Tanzania. Hence, these findings can’t be used to generalize to all LGAs. Auditors should be updated on procurement matters and be independent both financially and in their reporting structure. Also, audited entities should be committed to implementing all issued audit recommendations.

The Involvement of Foreign Actors in Ethno - Political Conflict: Case of the Republic of Central Africa Ahmat, Habib Adam; Istanbul Commerce University Ethno-Political Conflict, Competition over Resources, Seleka, Anti-Balaka, Francois Bozize, Michel Djotodia  The Central African Republic is an extremely impoverished country that has seen little development since its independence from France in 1960. It is ranked 180 out of 186 countries on the U.N. Human Development Index (report 2016) and is in the Fund for Peace’s top 10 failed states, next to Haiti and Afghanistan. The latest surge of violence in the country began when the Séléka rebels captured power in March 2013. They were responsible for mass killings, sexual violence, and looting. This paper critically analyses the factors that led to the outbreak of that conflict one of which the role that played by the foreign actors in this conflict. The research found that there are four main elements that caused   the conflict in the CAR including exclusion, repression, and competition over resources and foreign involvement. One of the important reasons behind that conflict is an economic factor which is the struggle for power and resources among political elites. The paper also found the repression combined with exclusion policies adopted by the Bozize and the precedent regimes also contributed to the outbreak of violence in CAR finally, the empirical evidence showed that there was a deep economic crisis behind the conflict, with the withdrawal of foreign investors the   Commercial crops such as cotton, coffee, also have deteriorated as well as the exploitation of forest income has declined.    Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2018-12-20 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/105 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 4, Issue 2 (2018): December; 63-74 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/105/pdf_64 Copyright (c) 2018 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

The Puzzle of Unemployment and Inflation: A Causality Analysis to Ethiopia Haile, Minyahil Alemu; Jimma University Granger Causality, Inflation, Phillips Curve, Unemployment The puzzle of unemployment and inflation has remained controversial. The choice between the two ends up with cost borne from the other end. Of course, the policy aim is to keep them both to their minimum possible rates. Countries need to examine the dynamics between the two and choose one with lesser harm to the general system. We applied Granger Causality approach to examine the nature of causality between inflation and unemployment to Ethiopia, using a time series running from 1984 to 2018. Accordingly, the-two-way causality between inflation and unemployment (cyclical) variables has been confirmed. Thus, macroeconomic policies need to appreciate this interdependence while designing policy settings.

The Effects of Inward Foreign Direct Investment on Gross Domestic Product and Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurship: A Conceptual and Empirical Approach Yücel, Muhammed Fatih Çemberci, Murat; Yıldız Technical University Social science; Business Administration Inward Foreign Direct Investment Flow, Gross Domestic Product, Short-term Development, Innovation, Sustainable Development Strategic Management; Internationalization; Innovation Management; Entrepreneurship One of the most significant economic developments of the 20th century is the acceleration of free capital flows due to market globalization. International capital flows can be broken down into three distinct segments: foreign direct investments, cross-border portfolio investments, and loans. Foreign direct investment refers to investments made by real or legal persons from one country into another. Inward FDI provides benefits such as increasing production capacity, creating jobs, transferring intellectual capital, and spreading global business knowledge by facilitating capital inflows to the host country. Inward FDI flows indicate how much investment an economy attracts over a specific period. In the literature, while the periodic positive effect of the flow on gross domestic product is determined, its relationship with entrepreneurship and innovation varies. The fact that inward FDI flows are statistically significant with GDP is beneficial in the short run, but in the long run, the endogenous resources in sustainable development show their meaning with their impact on entrepreneurship and innovation; the contribution of foreign investors to innovation by transferring their intellectual capital to the locality as planned by the investor is discussed. To conceptualize this network of relationships, our study examines the connections among inward FDI flows, GDP, entrepreneurship, and innovation using structural equation modeling based on five years of data from 43 countries. Inward FDI flow data is obtained from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, GDP data is sourced from the World Bank, entrepreneurship data comes from the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute, and innovation data is acquired from the World Intellectual Property Organization.

The Meaning of Offence by Supernatural Powers in Law Number 1 of 2023 Concerning the Criminal Code Okoka, Bernadus; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Suhartono, Slamet; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya law criminal; supernatural; assault law Etymologically, supernatural powers are synonymous with the term "supernatural power," as they are beyond human comprehension. Supernatural powers can manifest in various forms, such as magical abilities, which are exercised with the aid of unseen forces. Supernatural powers are commonly found in various spiritual traditions of traditional rural and remote communities that still believe in supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are usually associated with powers wielded by demons or jinn, which can be commanded through prayers and specific offerings. In Islamic religious concepts, supernatural powers are believed to originate from Allah SWT, such as miracles, blessings, and the like. In religions other than Islam, supernatural powers are interpreted as powers born from specific prayers offered to the Creator, or even in dynamism beliefs, supernatural powers rely on the power of certain objects, such as stones, large trees, and the like. In certain traditions, such as Javanese society, supernatural powers are often referred to as "santet." Black magic is defined as magic used to harm others. It is a occult practice believed to inflict illness or suffering on victims through supernatural powers. This research is a normative legal research. The reconstruction of the formulation of criminal offenses is carried out by making changes to the provisions of Article 252 of the National Criminal Procedure Code, by adding the provisions of paragraph (3) which are worded as follows: "If the act as referred to in paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) results in psychological or physical injury and/or death of a person, the perpetrator shall be subject to criminal sanctions for assault, serious assault and/or premeditated murder with the threat of a special conditional criminal sentence.

Challenges of Humanitarian Logistics on disaster management: The experience of Corona Pandemic in Tanzania Masoud, Yussuf Ali; College of Business Education- Dar es Salaam Supply chain Management Humanitarian Logistics, Coordination, Transportation, Information Communication Technology Logistics Management Despite the government of Tanzania's multiple measures to combat the coronavirus epidemic, there is still a lot of misery and human death that is recorded from time to time. The goal of this research was to determine the role of coordination, transportation, and information and communication technology in the performance of humanitarian operations during the coronavirus pandemic and to give recommendations for how to improve it. The data was collected via a questionnaire from a sample of six referral hospitals in Dar es Salaam and the Coastal Region using quantitative methodologies and an explanatory research methodology. Using descriptive data analysis, the mean and standard deviation of the findings were computed, and the data were then summarized using frequency distribution tables before being analyzed using a multiple regression model. All independent factors demonstrated a significant positive relationship with humanitarian relief performance, including coordination, transportation, and information communication technology (p0.05). For better humanitarian relief operation performance, the study recommended that referral hospitals management ensure that there are adequate facilities for distribution of relief requirements, the required materials/ facilities arrive on time and adequate ICT facilities for coordination of all stakeholders in the relief operation.

The Adoption of Information & Communication Technology in Managing Supply Chain Integration Sallwa, Alfred Ain; College of Business Education, Tanzania. Due to rising demand and supply disruptions, supply chain operations have adopted information and communication technologies more frequently in recent years. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the degree of ICT adoption and the approaches taken in the processing business. The paper adopts a mixed approach including 259 respondents involved in a survey investigating the extent of ICT adoption in the processing industries and 8 top-level staff of the focal firm tangled in an individual interview to reveal the strategies used in ICT adoption.  Taken together, the results show an improvement in the processing industry in ICT adoption. The results indicate that most of the focal firms are in the second phase of ICT adoption called the implementation phase while the most dominant strategies used in adoption include capacity development, building strategic partnerships and firm restructuring. For the focal firm to fully benefit from ICT adoption in operations and organizational performance, the focal firm must make improvements, including involving all stakeholders in their effort to digitalize supply chain operations. Meanwhile, other participants in the production of dairy products in Tanzania and elsewhere need to understand the significance of ICT adoption and SCI as well as the advantages they can all derive from this engagement. The study shed new light on the effective strategies that can be employed to enable the effective adoption of ICT to improve the performance of the entire supply chain. These results add to the rapidly expanding ICT adoption in the processing industry and other related industries.

Regulatory Inconsistencies Resulting in Expropriatory Measures: The Duty of the State to Warn, or Duty of Investor to be Aware?

This allows for the regulator to impose expropriatory measures as a remedy to an alleged misconduct, distancing from responsibility for misapplication of the rule behind the ambivalent legal framework. The key question with regard to the considered problem, is whether its a state duty to inform, or investor’s duty to be aware of all possible consequences, pursuant to the principle of 'prudent investor'.

Methodology: The study employs a normative legal research method. Main Findings: The response to terrorist offences must be both effective and precisely targeted, because the clear and serious threat posed by this crime can endanger state sovereignty. Eradicating terrorist offences cannot be achieved solely through repressive law enforcement or ―hard approaches; ―soft approaches are also required. When applying a soft approach especially to curb the spread of radical-terrorist ideology in cyberspace prevention must begin by using virtual media to counter that spread. This need sparked the author‘s interest in exploring how preventive measures can be undertaken to avert cyber-terrorism. Practical Application: The findings can serve as a reference for government bodies and prospective researchers interested in tackling cyber-terrorism. Novelty: The study is expected to help the government craft a prevention concept for cyber terrorism.

Doctrine of Domicile as a Personal Connecting Factor in Conflict of Laws in Tanzania: An Examination of Abdalla Hamid Mohamed v. Jasnena Zaludova [1982] TZHC 14 Khartoum, Moh'd Masoud; University of Dodoma. Law Domicile; residence, nationality, connecting factors, permanent home, personal law, conflict of laws Conflict of Laws In Tanzania, and all over the world, including Tanzania Zanzibar, courts of laws have considered domicile as an important connecting factor in the determination of various disputes brought before the court of laws in cases relating to conflict of laws, especially on issues relating to jurisdiction of the courts and capacity to marry in various marital disputes. In a most cases, the courts attempt to investigate how far and the extent to which domicile may be considered as the connecting factor in settling issues of validity of marriages or determination of divorce cases between disputants. Legal speaking, when a person files a lawsuit in a court of law relating to a conflict of laws, one of the interesting questions the court would wish to test is how the matter in question is connected or linked with the domicile of the disputant. It is on this basis that this research article discusses domicile as a personal connecting factor in conflict of laws disputes in Tanzania, with special attention to the above-stated case law, as decided by the Zanzibar courts. The decision by the Zanzibar courts, as discussed in this article, has laid a basic foundation on the domicile as the connecting factor in conflict of laws.  The article further examines the extent to which domicile was considered as connecting factor by the Zanzibar courts in determining above selected case law in conflict of laws.   Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2024-05-23 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Qualitative application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/448 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 10, Issue 1 (2024): June; 68-76 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/448/pdf_246 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Impact of Customer Relationship Management on Customer retention in Tanzania Airline industry Mtamike, Siraji; College of Business Education, Tanzania. Magasi, Chacha; College of Business Education, Tanzania. Customer Relationship Management, Customer retention, Customer satisfaction, Tanzania Airline Industry This study investigated the impact of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on customer retention in the Tanzanian airline industry, focusing on the influence of CRM practices, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. The study adopted a theoretical framework based on Relationship Marketing Theory to understand the relationship between CRM and customer retention. A cross-sectional research design was employed, collecting data from a diverse sample of Tanzanian airline passengers using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. A total of 251 airline passengers and 10 supervisors from airline companies and the Tanzania Airport Authority participated in the study. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires and interviews for qualitative data. The data was analyzed using Descriptive Statistics and Linear Regression Analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics 27, along with Thematic Analysis for qualitative data. The study's findings indicated that CRM practices (Beta = 0.598, p < 0.001), customer loyalty (Beta = 0.588, p < 0.001), and customer satisfaction (Beta = 0.229, p = 0.001) significantly influence customer retention. The findings suggest that while customers perceive CRM efforts positively, improvements are needed in trust, commitment, and pricing strategies. The study provides valuable insights for Tanzanian airlines to enhance service delivery and retain customers, contributing to the body of knowledge on CRM and customer retention in the airline industry.

Role of Environmental Uncertainty in the Effect of Innovativeness and Sustainability in Supply Chain on a Company’s Performance Soylu, Demet Yıldırım, Figen Innovativeness, Supply Chain The acceleration of industrialization in parallel with the increasing world population has facilitated humanity’s use of natural resources in an extravagant, uncontrolled and even ruthless manner. Sustainability is a philosophy that aims to put an end to this tendency, ensure that these resources are used in a more controlled manner, and minimize, or if possible, eliminate damage on the nature. It is essential for organizations, especially export companies, to determine the maturity levels in sustainable supply chain approach and make the necessary improvements in order to achieve competitive advantage. As a result of digitalization, enterprises, which establish the right partnership relationship management scenarios create competitive advantages for themselves.  In this study, the importance of innovation even in an environment of uncertainty and the contribution of sustainable supply chain management on the exporter performance was analysed. The study is developed based on the question: “What is the role of environmental certainty or innovativeness in the relationship between sustainable supply chain management and the exporter company performance?”   Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2022-12-13 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/296 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 8, Issue 2 (2022): December; 37-41 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/296/pdf_162 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/296/70 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Cross-border E-commerce in China Askar, Gulnigar; İstanbul Commerce University Cross-border E-commerce, Trade, The Belt and Road Initiative The Internet has built an economical and efficient communication "bridge" between buyers and sellers all around the world. With the rise of supporting technologies such as secure payment, order tracking, and customer service, the global e-commerce market has grown exponentially.As the leader of this growth trend, the scale of China's cross-border e-commerce market has shown an exponential growth trend. This is mainly due to two points: 1) the sudden release of cross-border consumer demand; 2) the relatively loose market regulatory environment. The development of online websites, social media, and logistics technology has also played a key role in promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce. Subsequently, the Chinese government further encouraged the development of cross-border e-commerce through measures such as building free trade zones and promoting the “The Belt and Road Initiative”. Companies such as Amazon and Tmall made full use of relevant policies to gradually gain a space in the free trade zone. The express delivery companies and third-party logistics companies occupying a strategically dominant position in the region have also started gearing up and trying to benefit from the growing trade activities along with the “The Belt and Road Initiative”.   Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law Gulnigar Askar, İstanbul Commerce University, Department of International Commerce 2021-06-14 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/228 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 7, Issue 1 (2021): June; 113-117 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/228/pdf_126 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/228/44 Copyright (c) 2021 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Barriers to Innovation in Micro-Scale Enterprises: A Multidimensional Assessment of Financial, Organizational, Technological, and Ecosystem Constraints Aşçı, Mehmet Saim; Istanbul Medipol University Micro-scale enterprises, innovationn barriers, small business innovation, digital maturity, entrepreneuriall ecosystem, resource constraints, absorptive capacity Micro-scale enterprises constitute a substantial part of national economies, particularly in emerging and developing markets, by contributing to employment, local production, and entrepreneurial dynamism. This study aims to examine thhe barriers to innovation in micro-scale enterprises through a multidimensional perspective that integrates financial, organizational, technological, human-capital, aand ecosystem-related constraints. The paper argues that innovation barriers in micro enterprises should not be interpreted merely as a lack of funding or technological infrastructure; rather, they emerge from the interaction of limited managerial capabilities, weak strategic planning, insufficient access to skilled labor, low digital maturity, risk aversion, fragmented instiitutional support, and restricted collaboration with universities, public agencies, and larger firms. The study is designed as a conceptual and literature-based analysis that synthesizes exissting research on small business innovation, resource constraints, absorptive capacity, dynamic capabilities, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Based on this synthesis, the article proposes an integrated framework for classifying innovation barriers in micro-scale enterprises under five main dimensions: resource-based barriers, capability-based barriers, market-related barrierss, institutional and ecosystem barriers, and cultural-behavioral barriers. The expected contribution of the study is twofold. First, it provides a holistic understanding of why micro enterprises frequently remain outside formal innovation systems despite their flexibility and entrepreneurial potential. Second, it offers a conceptual foundation for future empirical studies and policy designs aimed at strengthening innovation capacity at the micro-enterprise level. The article concludes that enhancing innovation in micro-scale enterprises requires not only financial incentives, but also tailored capability-building programs, digital transformation support, accessible consultancy mechanisms, collaborative innovation platforms, and differentiated public policies that recognize the unique characteristics of micro businesses.

Nickel Ban and Indonesia's Defense: A WTO Dispute with Implications for National Security Falefi, Reinpal; The Republic of Indonesia Defense University Almubaraq, Hikmat Zakky; The Republic of Indonesia Defense University Lelyana, Nora; The Republic of Indonesia Defense University Nickel Ban, Indonesia, Defense, WTO, National Security The Indonesian government implemented an export ban on unprocessed nickel ore to promote the development of value-added nickel products and establish a strong presence in the global electric vehicle supply chain. This has led to modifications in the country's nickel supply chain and exports. However, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled in favor of the European Union's claim that the ban hindered EU manufacturers' access to nickel ore. Indonesia has appealed the verdict, contributing to trade disagreements between the two parties. This study examines the impact of global trade policies on national economic growth and security, focusing on Indonesia's nickel industry. It aims to provide insights into approaches that Indonesia can adopt to enhance its nickel industry and defense capabilities while complying with WTO regulations. The research conducted in Jakarta, Indonesia, in April 2023, employs a comprehensive review of existing literature and grey literature. The collected data underwent content analysis methodologies to present a comprehensive narrative, tables, and figures. Indonesia's nickel industry plays a critical role in the nation's development and national security due to its significant reserves and investments in battery supply chains. However, reconciling domestic interests with global trade commitments, particularly the ban on nickel ore exports, presents challenges. Indonesia can explore strategies such as incentivizing foreign investment and establishing a sustainable regulatory framework to foster the growth of its electric vehicle and steel industries. These measures can help position Indonesia as a key global hub for refined nickel and lithium-ion batteries while complying with WTO regulations.

Angel Investment and Kosovo’s Early-Stage Market: A Promising Opportunity? Braha, Medina; University of Prishtina, Teaching Assistant at Faculty of Economics Entrepreneurship; Early-stage Investing; Angel Investing Business Angel Investment, Early-Stage Market, Entrepreneurship, Funding Angel Investing The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether Angel Investment (AI) may serve as a suitable tool for the early-stage market of Kosovo. The activity of the Business Angel (BA) has experienced significant development lately, and moreover, supplementary attention by policymakers all over Europe and beyond. As a result, the BA community in Europe has published the Start-up Investor Manifesto in May 2014 aiming to adopt policies and actions towards the rise of entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of 1.5 million new jobs in Europe by 2017. In addition, the Manifesto foresees enlargement of cross-border activity of BAs, including the emerging markets lying outside EU borders. Based on its increasing capacity and attention paid to, and on the fact that over 98% of registered Kosovar businesses are micro enterprises, AI may appear an appropriate instrument in advancing country’s early-stage market. Therefore, this paper intends to answer this interrogation by simultaneously studying the scientific arguments as well as best practices regarding AI both in developed and emerging markets. Accordingly it aims to provide a model on how the AI market could be developed in Kosovo.

Between Valuation and Monetization of Efficiency in Economic Analysis of Law: Is It Possible? Sugianto, Fajar; Universitas Pelita Harapan Indradewi, Astrid Athina; Faculty of Law Universitas Pelita Harapan Valencia, Claresta Devina; Faculty of Law Universitas Pelita Harapan Jurisprudence Valuation, monetization, efficiency, economic analysis of law Law and Economics This paper aims to show the basic idea of efficiency in economic analysis of law (EAL) and at the same time promote its efficacy by using the optics of its studies that use 'economic eyes' while providing justice as a legal goal. Starting with the points of utility from Bentham's thought which was then conceptualized as an economic concept of justice because in EAL, law and justice view society as an economic entity. Three models were raised, then the analysis of efficiency became an economic tool to be used to achieve the goal of maximizing welfare. The goal is to get answers to whether it is possible to valuate and monetize all aspects of efficiency in order to get benefits. Each model is constructed with different assumptions and scenarios but still under one framework, namely how efficiency works according to EAL in order to maximize the widest social utility. As a result, it becomes inefficient when faced with circumstances that are contrary to the basic principles of EAL so that it cannot be monetized. There are circumstances where valuations are difficult or even impossible to monetize at decent values, especially against certain costs and benefits. These results show that the difficulty in quantifying some aspects tends to replace one's subjective values.

Reputation as Competitive Capital: Evaluating Corporate Reputation in the Financial Sector Başar, Doğan; Türkiye Sigorta A.Ş. corporate reputation, financial sector, stakeholder engagement, RepTrak, qualitative insights Business Management Corporate reputation plays a critical role in the financial sector, influencing stakeholder trust, organizational legitimacy, and long-term competitiveness. This study aims to evaluate reputation performance within the financial sector through a comprehensive, stakeholder-centered lens. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative insights drawn from the RepTrak model—measuring seven core reputation dimensions—with qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews and pulse surveys. Findings indicate that the sector demonstrates strong performance in areas such as product and service quality, operational success, and corporate citizenship. However, innovation and workplace environment emerged as weaker dimensions, pointing to critical development opportunities. Pulse data reinforces the importance of trust, leadership visibility, and customer-centricity in shaping positive stakeholder perceptions. Stakeholders express expectations not only for high-quality services but also for ethical leadership, transparency, and responsiveness—particularly through digital channels. Qualitative insights further highlight the role of emotional engagement, societal value creation, and internal-external alignment in building resilient reputational capital. Strengthening employer branding, expanding corporate social responsibility initiatives, and fostering accessible leadership communication are identified as strategic priorities. Moreover, real-time responsiveness to customer needs via digital innovation is seen as essential for reinforcing reputational strength. This research contributes to reputation literature by offering an integrated and practice-oriented assessment model, while also providing actionable insights for financial institutions seeking to enhance stakeholder alignment and adapt to evolving sectoral expectations. The study concludes that reputation management in the financial sector must be dynamic, transparent, and multidimensional to ensure sustainable competitive advantage.

Impact of Oil Revenues on Economic Prosperity in South Sudan Yugusuk, Henry Jada Jacob; İstanbul Commercece University Oil Revenue, Patronage, Economic Prosperity South Sudan among the most oil-independent country in the world, oil contribute for almost all bulk of its exports, around 60% of Gross Domestic Products (GDP), and 98% of government revenue, yet the Economy is stationary and faced with several woes such as lack of infrastructural development, widespread poverty, and growing inflation. Oil revenue meant to improve economic development, but due to the Kleptocracy system of government, the economy remained motionless. This paper argues that oil revenue has a negative impact on economic prosperity in South Sudan, that lead to poor quality institutions and governance, which cause slower economic growth. Based on this, this article recommends that the government should establish some robust legislation on revenues management such as a management of oil income, Audit, and procurement in order to ensure accountability and transparency in the oil sector. By establishing those laws, the revenue that generated from oil can be invested in the Agricultural sector as a mean of diversification that can sustain and robust economic prosperity. This can avoid the economic crisis in the nearest future due to unstable oil prices in the international market.

Effects of COVID-19 on China and the World Economy: Birth Pains of the Post-Digital Ecosystem Xiarewana, Baikeli; İstanbul Commerce University Civelek, Mustafa Emre; İstanbul Commerce University Global Pandemic, Digital Economy, Post-Digital Ecosystem, COVID-19 Especially with the emergence of the digital economy in the last two decades, unprecedented changes in technology have come to the fore. Technology-induced unemployment has spread all over the world because developments in digitalization and automation reduced the need for human in all business lines. Digital economy has also shown its effects as changes in the lifestyles. Therefore, it called new ecosocial system. However, beyond the new ecosocial system, humanity awaits a new system as post-digital ecosystem. Most probably this transition would occur in an agonizing way. In the post-digital ecosystem, production methods are changing radically, and thus, due to the recent advancements in artificial intelligence technology, machines increasingly take over the jobs of humans. The steady upward trend in unemployment has made economic inequality a chronic problem in the society. The pandemic has the role of a catalyst that accelerates the emergence of the destructive effects of digital economy and augments these effects. After the pandemic, the post-digital ecosystem will rise from the ruins of the collapsing capitalist system. The purpose of this article is to attract attention to the future economic problems within the context of the pandemic.

Quality of public transportation operators can be figured out with the help of various parameters. Among those, human resources undoubtedly have a significant role. Fulfilment of operators’ strategic aims and targets is in direct proportion to performance and satisfaction of employees. With an innovative approach, this study aims to suppose a new, performance-based task assignment model that grounds on the target to achieve a fair work distribution by analysing General Directorate of IETT’s current “task assignment process for drivers”, which manages urban public transportation of Istanbul Metropolitan City. This model identifies specific performance indicators and gives points to the drivers according to competency. New software has been developed with an algorithm to allow drivers to choose the routes they will work on, depending on their competency points. With 184 drivers, 22 routes and 135 buses, IETT Sarigazi Bus Terminal has been chosen as the pilot area of this new idea of “self-appointment”.

The Relationship between the Real Effective Exchange Rate and Industrial Production in the Turkish Economy Kibritci Artar, Okşan; Istanbul Commerce University Industrial Production, Real Effective Exchange Rate, Economic Policies The industrial sector is one of the key sectors for the Turkish economy in terms of production, employment and exports. The volatility in the exchange rate in the Turkish economy has important effects on industrial production, as well as many economic variables. The main purpose of this study is to empirically analyse the effects of real effective exchange rate on industrial production for the Turkish economy in the 2009M08-2022M01 period. According to the results of the study, the real effective exchange rate adversely affects the industrial production in the Turkish economy. Other things being equal, the depreciation of the domestic currency increases the foreign demand for industrial products, in line with the economic theory. Considering these relations between real effective exchange rate and industrial production while designing economic policies is important for sustainable economic growth.  Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2022-06-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/290 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 8, Issue 1 (2022): June; 198-203 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/290/pdf_157 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

The Mediator Role of Global Competitiveness in the Relationship between High Technology Export and Coverage Ratio Aykaç, Selim; İstanbul Commerce University Civelek, Mustafa Emre high tech export, Global Competitiveness Index, coverage ratio, mediator role high tech Global Competitiveness Index, high technology exports and coverage ratio variables were used in the study. The effects of high technology exports on the Global Competitiveness Index and coverage ratio, and the effects of the Global Competitiveness Index on the coverage ratio were analysed. Positive effects of the analyses were observed. It is also assumed that the coverage ratio is one of the most important criteria of foreign trade performance. In the study, it is seen that the Global Competitiveness Index plays an intermediary role in the effect of technology exports on the coverage ratio. Therefore, the increase in the share of technology exports in total trade affects the coverage ratio through the partial effect of the Global Competitiveness level. Therefore, it is assumed that the technological infrastructure and competitiveness of countries will play a key role in improving foreign trade performance.

The way to survive in the market for companies that want to continue production in their own center instead of producing in other countries is by way of reaching competitive production cost levels. Under these circumstances, firms are focusing on the idea of reducing their costs by focusing on their production systems and removing all activities that do not produce value and consume resources. One of the ideas that emerged in recent years and which will help the firm in this matter is the philosophy of Lean Manufacturing.

Tax and Subsidy Policy Model for Achieving a Tobacco-Free Nation Whakeshum, Sisay Tolla; Jimma University Economics; Economic Policy Analysis Tax Policy, Subsidy Policy, Tobacco Control Economic Policy Analysis Tobacco use or cigarette smoking has predominantly unenthusiastic effects on human wellbeing causing diminished overall health welfare, minimized labour productivity and efficiency, and augmented health care cost. Recognized health and socio-economic outlays of smoking, countries began to intervene in the market of tobacco by the use of price and tax procedures with the intention of tumbling tobacco consumption and exposure. However, these interventions have featured some controversies on essential issues like freedom and utility concern from consumers and unemployment worries from producers and vendors. Therefore, to address these arguments the researcher developed intervention policies entitled “Policy Model of Tax and Subsidy to Achieve Sustainable Tobacco Control” well-thought-out tax and subsidy policies as a complement rather than substitute strategies to have a comprehensive campaign on controlling tobacco consumption and exploitation. Furthermore, the developed model can openly apply to other damaging products like khat, cocaine, etc.   Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2020-05-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Model Formation application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/134 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 6, Issue 1 (2020): June; 100-105 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/134/pdf_88 Copyright (c) 2020 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Information Sharing and Performance of Fruits and Vegetables Cold Chain in Tanzania: A Case of Arumeru and Hai Districts Ndilibango, Bugunge Jonas Musabila, Albogast K Nsimbila, Paul Maganga Cold supply chain; Fruits; Vegetables; Reciprocity; Information technology This study examines the critical role of information sharing in enhancing the performance of the cold chain for fruits and vegetables in Tanzania, focusing on Arumeru and Hai districts. A convergent parallel design was employed alongside a census technique, surveying 114 actors involved in the fruit and vegetable sector from both districts. Additionally, 12 firms were purposefully selected for in-depth interviews with the same target population. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to evaluate the data. The findings reveal that both reciprocity and information technology significantly and positively influence the performance of the cold chain for fruits and vegetables. These results suggest that, given the perishable nature of fruits and vegetables, effective information sharing among supply chain actors is essential, as it enhances transparency and trust across the chain. This helps mitigate inefficiencies, reduce post-harvest losses, and ultimately increase the profitability of cold chain actors in Tanzania's evolving agricultural landscape. The study recommended that actors in the fruit and vegetable industry should utilize mobile technology and social media to share information to increase market access and ensure that products arrive at customers in the best possible condition, given their short shelf life.

The Effect of Technology Capacity Concept on Competitiveness in International Trade Narin, Kerim Tolgahan; Istanbul Commerce University Technology Capacity, Innovation, Change Management, International Trade, Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Firm Valuation For countries to produce products with high added value in international trade, they must integrate their technological competencies into their production systems. In addition, innovative technologies are one of the most important factors for firms and organizations that produce high-value-added products competing in the international market to be one step ahead of their competitors in the market. In the world, consumer behavior and expectations are changing very rapidly due to cultural transformations with the “next-gen culture” realities.Firms and organizations that carry out production and manufacturing activities in the international markets should integrate these dynamic customer expectations and requests into their processes in the fastest way, but with high technology. In addition to this situation, manpower and working culture also emerge as the most important concepts for the organization to benefit from the relevant technological investments at the maximum level. At this point, the concept of technology capacity emerges. The concept of technology capabilities can be used to differentiate or explain the organization's efficiency and capabilities against its competitors as many organizations did previously using different concepts: current production capacity, quality certifications, manpower capacity, and quality incompetence. In addition to this situation, it can be positioned as a new concept that firms that want to use these investments made by the field of technology in the market as a distinguishing factor in the field of competition, should measure within their existing organizations.
