ABSTRACT This paper uses firm‐level data to examine how supply chain networks affected the recovery of firms from Great East Japan Earthquake. Extensive chains can negatively affect through higher vulnerability network disruption and positively support trading partners, easier search for new general benefits agglomeration. Our results indicate that with outside impacted area contributed earlier resumption production, whereas within region sales in medium term. The suggest positive effects...
Using a large firm-level panel dataset for Japan, this paper examines the effects of structure supply chain networks on productivity and innovation capability through knowledge diffusion. We find that ties with distant suppliers improve (as measured by sales per worker) more than neighboring suppliers, which is likely because firms' intermediates embody diversified those from firms. Ties clients clients, effectively diffuse disembodied clients. By contrast, innovative number registered...
Project leadership increasingly occurs in the context of ecological risks, whether from a viral pandemic or an anthropogenically changing climate. It requires adaptability to change, especially as projects grow complexity, becoming seen interventions into wider systems. In this paper, we take socialized perspective, synthesising recent work and proposing new research agenda three inter-related areas that need be addressed by project leadership: 1) technologies, unpacking values technologies...
This article analyses roles of social and extension networks in adoption resource-conserving practices among Ethiopian farmers. We gathered data from 297 randomly sampled households on their agricultural practices, networks, access to the extension, geographical location. After examining general determinants practising agriculture, we employ a two-stage regression with full-maximum likelihood correction for selection bias establish external professionals acceptance conservation techniques....
Abstract This study examines whether and how economic shocks from natural disasters propagate through supply chains to regions not directly hit by disasters. Although such propagation has been studied, less attention paid heterogeneity across network characteristics of firms. Focusing on the impacts a hurricane using firm‐level data for major firms in world that include supply‐chain ties among them, we find evidence intra‐national shock United States. Our results further suggest both input...
Abstract Background It is increasingly acknowledged that technical expertise not sufficient for engineers today, given the complex intercultural global contexts in which they are required to work. This article, therefore, examines how concept of culture typically operationalized engineering education and discusses possible reasons this approach. Purpose/Hypothesis The specific research question explored here “How conceptualized education?” Design/Method To examine previously unasked...
Climate disasters like floods and bushfires have increased in frequency intensity Australia. For many, these are associated with trauma. In order to further our understanding of the impacts on individuals communities, we need conduct research, but research design implementation be sensitive that trauma support safety both participants researchers. This paper provides a detailed description practical application trauma-informed approach taken study exploring community-led self-organising...
The importance of networks for social-ecological processes has been recognized in the literature; however, existing studies have not sufficiently addressed dynamic nature networks.Using data on social learning 265 farmers Ethiopia 2011 and 2012 stochastic actor-oriented modeling, we explain mechanisms network evolution soil conservation.The farmers' preferences information exchange within same groups support creation interactive, clustered, nonhierarchical structures evolving networks, which...
It has become accepted that social networks influence farmers' decisions and agricultural development programs routinely support influential farmers in an effort to disseminate recommended practices through their networks. We have interviewed (1) 120 heads of farming households one village North-western Cambodia about practices; (2) representatives organizations managing the region. constructed information-sharing network computed centrality measures each farmer indicating access information...
Many agrarian communities in developing countries suffer from insufficient productivity and use farming practices that deteriorate the environment both locally globally.Research suggests social networks play a role environmental management, different studies emphasize aspects of network structures, implications scales at which operate are not explicitly discussed.Here, I ask what types structures farmer conducive to protection agricultural enhancement, show answer depends on scale...
Organizations create networks with one another, and these may in turn shape the organizations involved. Until recently, such complex dynamic processes could not be rigorously empirically analyzed because of a lack suitable modeling validation methods. Using stochastic actor-oriented models unique longitudinal survey data on changing structure interfirm production automotive industry Japan, this paper illustrates how to quantitatively assess validate (1) micro-mechanism by which form their...
Stakeholder engagement is generally considered one of the most pertinent factors impacting project outcomes. However, there lacking empirical evidence documenting patterns stakeholder and their potential differences between public, private public-private partnership (PPP) projects. This study leverages social network research methods to capture quantitively compare these structures. data were collected by an online questionnaire from 17 30 9 PPP A series network-based analyses subsequently...
Longitudinal studies can provide timely and accurate information to evaluate inform COVID-19 control mitigation strategies future pandemic preparedness. The Optimise Study is a multidisciplinary research platform established in the Australian state of Victoria September 2020 collect epidemiological, social, psychological behavioural data from priority populations. It aims understand changing public attitudes, behaviours experiences epidemic modelling support responsive government policy....
Social capital is crucial for slum dwellers’ survival.The central question of this article concerns how social can be measured. Through testing in the field, authors optimized position generator method application a Philippine slum; furthermore, they developed special name to examine who gains particular community-based activities. And were able administer whole measurement instrument without major difficulties all available adults selected community. Finally, inductively derived two...
Agrarian communities in different regions develop diverse coping strategies to address the environmental changes they face. In this work, we test how stimulate farmers' social learning across promote informed responses soil degradation. We invited 117 randomly selected members of 16 Sumatran three 3-day networking and training events with socio-environmental histories. One event was held respondents' remote rural district (Tanggamus), second a more densely populated region on Sumatra Island...
