In their mission of collecting, analyzing and disseminating statistic data, the National Institutes of Statistics are more and more confronted with personal data management. With the advent of the “Open Data” [1], the need for data diffusion and to establish a link between databases created during the surveys and censuses, are necessary for planning, monitoring and activities evaluation, in a context...
This Research expands on the key links between Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), jobs and SME access to investment/ finance these days. SMEs accounts for more than half of all jobs worldwide that is very important to alleviate poverty in least developing countries.

Nowadays, companies seek to optimize their position in the global market. To do so, they are forced to work together to maintain a competitive advantage based on a unified approach to value creation. This collaboration is increasingly taking place through information systems and technologies. This article aims to present the role of inter-organizational collaboration in the logistics information systems...
This paper presents an empirical study, which analyzes the impact of Supply Chain Management (SCM) practices on logistics performance automotive equipment's. In this study, the chosen practice is “management of provider relationship”, while the chosen logistic performance is “provider performance”.
Nowadays, the traditional separate management mode of planning data and graphics has certain limitations, and cannot meet the needs of power grid business development. Therefore, a GIS-based graphics management system is proposed based on cloud platform, in which the grid map, power grid GIS, and electrical wiring diagram are organically integrated based on cloud services. The integration of basic...
Since the deceleration of the markets of infrastructures in developed economies occurred, the growing demand for infrastructure development in semi-developed countries has become more outstanding. Semi-developed countries such as Thailand aims to become a developed country. However, it is stuck in 'semi-developed country trap'. To break through this, Thai people need local industries with high-added...
Advances in computer science prompt the creation of new economic models. One of them in urban life is Sharing Economy. This new economic model receives high attentions and has been applied to a wide range of fields in recent years. We argue that sharing economy, and its applications, may be taken as a way for researchers to understand human behavior, and thus this paper targets a growing issue on...
This paper proposes a constraint-free model and a budget-constrained model to determine the optimal air travel policy in terms of the seat upgrading. The approach strikes a balance between cost-saving and the boosted productivity by upgrading the employees to higher classes. We specify a benefit function based on the Hensher Equation's core idea and leverage economics assumptions of the marginal productivity...
In communication networks such as ISPs, telcos, and mobile network operators (MNOs), determining a correct unit cost for a service with QoS is a crucial task for the future of companies. A well-defined and efficient cost model is an essential tool to analyze network dynamics and in decision-making processes in a network. Also, knowing the real unit cost for a service helps network administrators/operators...
This paper assesses the economic sides of a grid-connected PV system based on a validated model and the feed in tariff regulation in Jordan. The economic model was built based on a calibrated design model at previous work for authors. An economic analysis is conducted based on a proposed PV plant to cover the Jordan University needs of electricity, considering the Engineering Procurement Construction...
Improving of the quality of professional training at universities through active collaboration between academic and business components of triple helix model. In Russia “future employers — university” connection is still not developed well. Universities have to change their internal environment in order to engage students and faculty in enterpreneurial activities. This change will result not only...
The current economic and political situation is characterized by high level of instability and unpredictability, dynamic changes and large number of destabilizing factors. Mechanisms for sustainable development allow companies not only adjust to negative effects of the environment, but also to evolve continuously. From an economic point of view, the sustainable development concept is based on the...
IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) is a technology that combines industrial techniques, “smart sensors” and “smart devices” in a network. Such technology allows memorizing, analyzing and integrating data from all “smart sensors” to a single workspace. As part of IIoT it generally considered “intelligent enterprises” (transport, engineering, processing, etc.) and, in some ways, “intelligent machines”...
The article discusses the concept of a balanced solution of economic tasks and problems of preservation of the environment, research of problems of environmental management, the analysis of existing approaches to environmental-economic environmental management, methodological bases of perfection of system of nature management on the basis of improving environmental and economic security management...
Modern Russian management model is a mixture management methods based on post-Soviet economic reality and Western best practices. Entering the global economy in the 90th Russia was forced to adopt foreign management models suitable for new market reality. Nevertheless foreign management models could not be copied in pure forms. The authors conducted the analysis of the Generation theory (baby boomers,...
This paper focuses on the use of inventory models to control the material flow and purchased inventory items in manufacturing companies. The objectives of this paper are to assess the effects of demand uncertainty on inventory management and to evaluate the difference on uncertain demand subject to demand controls as determined and the models used. Three inventory management models are studied; the...
On account of great significance of financial distress prediction for corporations, it is essential to construct an effective prediction model for managers and investors. Traditional financial distress prediction methods design static models using samples within a period of time, but the static models are insensitive to changes, such as concept drift in financial distress. This paper proposed a dynamic...
The Rural Appliance Rebate Program (RAR) starting at the end of 2010 was part of the efforts of Chinese government to boost up domestic consumption during global economic downturn. While the RAR program's positive effects on macro economics have been well documented, the impacts of such a governmental subsidy program on the companies and the industry are unknown.
