    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 36 (1998), S. 407-418 
    Details
    ISSN: 0025-1747
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper aims at introducing benchmarking to management practitioners. Emphases have been placed on the classification of benchmarking and the benchmarking process model. The former will help in identifying the sources of best practices as a result of assisting in promoting management perspectives and facilitating the formation of various specific goals. The latter, on the other hand, systematically introduces all necessary components in a benchmarking project. Additionally, effort is put in to clarify the meaning of benchmarking by introducing three useful working definitions. Some materials of benchmarking, including its background and benefits, are also given. Finally, some hints are provided to organizations that want to conduct first-time benchmarking project.

    A review of transfer of training studies in the past decade (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Personnel review 30 (2001), S. 102-118 
    Details
    ISSN: 0048-3486
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article reviews some major studies that were conducted in the past decade (1989-1998) on the transfer of what employees learned from training programmes back to their jobs. A conceptual framework is developed for this article to better present the "popular" constructs that have been tested empirically. The achievement is twofold. First, this review paper highlights that some individual, motivational and environmental factors are related to transfer of training. Second, some directions for further studies have been suggested. For example, longitudinal study was highly recommended for measuring transfer outcomes. Some new individual (e.g. achievement striving), motivational (e.g. trainee-control-over-training) and environmental (e.g. transfer climate) constructs are recommended to be incorporated in newly created models. These models can then be examined using structural equation modelling. After extensive testing and refinement of these models, a set of critical constructs can be distilled. By that time, convergence of research efforts focusing on major themes can be achieved.

    The effects of some attitudinal and organizational factors on transfer outcome (1998)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 13 (1998), S. 309-317 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Two attitudinal (training value and training motivation) and two organizational (opportunity to transfer and transfer reward) factors were proposed to affect the transfer of MBA knowledge to the job and were tested using multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that only training value was significantly related to transfer outcome. In other words, the greater the perception of training value, the more would be the training applications. Other factors were shown to have little impact. It might be due to the fact that testing of the transfer of MBA knowledge required a longitudinal approach that should incorporate the identification of what MBA knowledge was to be transferred. Future studies were also suggested to include other individual, attitudinal, and environmental factors to study their effects on training transfer.

    Electronic commerce and supply chain management: value-adding service for clothing manufacturers (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Integrated manufacturing systems 13 (2002), S. 247-255 
    Details
    ISSN: 0957-6061
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics , Economics
    Notes: This paper presents a business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B EC) model for enabling supply chain management (SCM). The application of this model is substantiated by a case study of a leading clothing manufacturer in Hong Kong. On the technical side, the findings support the notion of harnessing information technologies (the Web, e-mail, and electronic data interchange) to integrate business processes across the clothing supply chain. That is, information technologies could facilitate SCM, adding more value to customers. On the managerial side, the study highlights that manufacturers can assume a proactive role in leading changes in a supply chain, and that a fair share of gains from co-operation must exist if collaboration between supply chain members is to be developed. Additionally, it is important for the members to have a thorough understanding of the impact of EC on inter-firm relation- ship as well as the role they play in a supply chain before they engage in the virtual business world.

    Analytic hierarchy process (AHP): A defective tool when used improperly (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Measuring business excellence 6 (2002), S. 33-37 
    Details
    ISSN: 1368-3047
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Provides evidence showing that although analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is effective to use for management decision making, it can be defective if used improperly. AHP becomes one of the essential multi-criteria, decision-making methods used by both management practitioners and academics. With the development of computer software packages, its usage expands vastly across different business and management areas. An example is presented to illustrate how the defective methodology of AHP can contaminate the findings and subsequent analyses and discussions. The "defected" papers disclosed a defective methodology that generated invalid findings. This paper first points out what the query is. Then, possible reasons behind the invalid findings are described, which are also explained with mathematical expressions. Apparently, "defected" papers may infect those who use them and transfer the risks out into the academic world. Asserts its researchers' responsibility to raise any risky papers for discussions once they have found them, and advises the authors of these papers to take a positive attitude in dealing with queries and critiques.

    The influence of job and career attitudes on learning motivation and transfer (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Career development international 6 (2001), S. 20-28 
    Details
    ISSN: 1362-0436
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article examines a parsimonious model that specifies the effects of job involvement and career commitment on learning motivation and learning transfer, using structural equation modelling. The "best fitting" model is achieved because it has surpassed all the goodness-of-fit indices including the chi-square statistic. The results indicated that career commitment was positively related to learning motivation and learning transfer. In addition, suppressor effect may help to explain the non-significant relationships between job involvement and learning motivation, and between job involvement and learning transfer.

    The process and consequences of supply chain virtualization (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Industrial management & data systems 103 (2003), S. 423-433 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-5577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Economics
    Notes: The recent rapid commercialization and adoption of Internet technologies has driven a process of supply chain virtualization, transforming conventional work practices across organizations. In an effort to provide a better understanding of this emerging phenomenon, this paper presents three key elements of supply chain virtualization, including: the formation of virtual trading communities; the emergence of virtual knowledge communities; and the relocation and integration of inter-organizational business processes in the cyberspace. The transformations and consequences of virtualization are illustrated in the context of the Hong Kong textile and clothing industry. The experience of Hong Kong suggests that supply chain virtualization has propelled a structural change in buyers-intermediaries-sellers relationships, called for a novel approach to knowledge management, and accelerated internationalization of small- and medium-sized enterprises. Managers and policy makers are advised to adopt new mindsets and practices in the face of these challenges.

    Sustainable Option for Hydrogen Production: Mechanistic Study of the Interaction between Cobalt Pincer Complexes and Ammonia Borane (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-06-28
    Description: The mechanism of the solvolysis/hydrolysis of ammonia borane by iridium (Ir), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and ruthenium (Ru) complexes with various PNP ligands has been revisited using density functional theory (DFT). The approach of ammonia borane (NH3BH3) to the metal center has been tested on three different possible mechanisms, namely, the stepwise, concerted and proton transfer mechanism. It was found that the theoretical analyses correlate with the experimental results very well, with the activities of the iridium complexes with different PNP ligands following the order: (tBu)2P 〉 (iPr)2P 〉 (Ph)2P through the concerted mechanism. The reaction barriers of the rate-determining steps for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane catalyzed by the active species [(tBu)2PNP-IrH] (Complex I-8), are found to be 19.3 kcal/mol (stepwise), 15.2 kcal/mol (concerted) and 26.8 kcal/mol (proton transfer), respectively. Thus, the concerted mechanism is the more kinetically favorable pathway. It is interesting to find that stable (tBu)2PNP Co-H2O and (tBu)2PNP Co-NH3 chelation products exist, which could stabilize the active I-8 species during the hydrolysis reaction cycle. The use of more sterically hindered and electron-donating PNP ligands such as (adamantyl)2P- provides similar activity as the t-butyl analogue. This research provides insights into the design of efficient cobalt catalysts instead of using precious and noble metal, which could benefit the development of a more sustainable hydrogen economy.

    The United States’ Clothing Imports from Asian Countries along the Belt and Road: An Extended Gravity Trade Model with Application of Artificial Neural Network (2020)
    Molecular Diversity Preservation International
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-09-10
    Description: In 2013, China announced the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to promote the connectivity of Asia, Europe, and Africa and deepen mutually beneficial economic cooperation among member countries. Past studies have reported a positive impact of the BRI on trade between China and its partner countries along the Belt and Road (B&R). However, less is known about its effect on the sectoral trade between the B&R countries and countries that show little support of the BRI. To address that gap, this study examines the changing patterns of clothing imports by the United States (US) from China and 14 B&R countries in Asia. An extended gravity model with a policy variable BRI is built to explain bilateral clothing trade flow. A panel regression model and artificial neural network (ANN) are developed based on the data collected from 1998 to 2018 and applied to predict the trade pattern of 2019. The results show a positive effect of the BRI on the clothing exports of some Asian developing countries along the B&R to the US and demonstrate the superior predictive power of the ANN. More research is needed to examine the balance between economic growth and the social and environmental sustainability of developing countries and to apply more advanced machine learning algorithms to examine global trade flow under the BRI.
