Changing Triangular Relationships: A Historical Analysis of Labour Relations at a Chinese Mine in Papua New Guinea

This paper contributes to the literature on the expansion of Chinese multinational corporations (CMCs) in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by comparing the operation of a Chinese mine to that of the German New Guinea Company. I start by looking at the two economic positions (helper and merchant) performed by early Chinese immigrants to New Guinea during the colonial era and the host hostility they encountered. 1 Then, a case study of a Chinese mining company in postcolonial PNG illustrates how local employees learned to negotiate with Chinese management through unionization instead of striking. In the meantime, Chinese personnel became subject to PNG industrial regulations based on Australian standards rather than operating as a modernizing agent to educate local workers. 2 These findings suggest that, despite specific new Chinese communities becoming investors, they must dedicate resources towards comprehending local customs and legislation, given the enhanced agency of local actors.

The Effect of Good Corporate Governance and Capital Structure on Firm Value with Financial Performance as an Intervening Variabel

With financial performance serving as an intervening variable case study of retail companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019–2022, the goal of this research is to ascertain the impact of sound corporate governance and capital structure on firm value. There were forty-two retail companies in the study's population. Of the 42 companies that used the purposive sampling approach for sample withdrawals, 29 of them satisfied the sample requirements. Secondary data was obtained by obtaining the annual report of the firm via the website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange or the company itself, together with the documentation data gathering process. Using SmartPLS software, the partial least square (PLS) analysis of structural equation modeling, which is component- or variance-based, is combined with descriptive analysis to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that capital structure and sound corporate governance both have an impact on a company's value. Financial performance is not able to mediate the relationship between excellent corporate governance and capital structure on company value, but neither do good corporate governance nor capital structure have any effect on financial performance.

Trolley Optimisation for Loading Printed Circuit Board Components

A trolley is a container for loading printed circuit board (PCB) components, and a trolley optimisation problem (TOP) is an assignment of PCB components to trolleys for use in the production of a set of PCBs in an assembly line. In this paper, we introduce the TOP, a novel operation research application. To formulate the TOP, we derive a novel extension of the bin packing problem. We exploit the problem structure to decompose the TOP into two smaller, identical, and independent problems. Further, we develop a mixed integer linear programming model to solve the TOP and prove that the TOP is an NP-complete problem. A case study of an aerospace manufacturing company is used to illustrate the TOP which successfully automated the manual process in the company and resulted in significant cost reductions and flexibility in the building process.

Global Leadership and Sustainability

This research article delves into the dynamic relationship between global leadership and sustainability, underscoring the critical influence that leaders wield in guiding organizations towards sustainable practices. As global challenges such as environmental degradation, climate change, and social inequality become more pressing, the need for leaders who can navigate these complexities and foster sustainable growth becomes increasingly urgent. This paper explores the essential qualities of global leaders who prioritize sustainability, the innovative strategies they employ, and the tangible impacts of their efforts on both organizational performance and broader societal well-being. We begin by identifying the characteristics that distinguish effective global leaders in the realm of sustainability. These leaders are visionary thinkers with a long-term perspective that balances economic success with environmental and social responsibility. They are ethically oriented, ensuring that their decisions reflect a commitment to the greater good. Their cultural sensitivity allows them to appreciate the global implications of local actions, and their adaptability and drive for innovation enable them to foster a culture of continuous improvement within their organizations. The article then examines specific strategies that these leaders use to embed sustainability into their organizational frameworks. This includes aligning their organizational goals with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), implementing comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, investing in green technologies, and engaging stakeholders in meaningful ways. These strategies are illustrated through case studies of companies like Patagonia and Unilever, which have successfully integrated sustainability into their business models under visionary leadership. Furthermore, the paper highlights the positive outcomes that organizations experience when they prioritize sustainability. Enhanced brand reputation, improved financial performance, effective risk management, and higher employee engagement are some of the key benefits. Companies known for their sustainable practices often attract loyal customers and talented employees, achieve cost savings through efficient resource use, and open up new market opportunities. The article emphasizes that global leadership and sustainability are deeply interconnected in today’s world. Leaders who embrace sustainability drive not only organizational success but also contribute significantly to global efforts towards creating a more equitable and sustainable future. As environmental and social challenges continue to intensify, the role of global leaders in promoting and implementing sustainable practices is more crucial than ever. This research underscores the necessity for visionary, ethical, culturally sensitive, and innovative leadership to navigate the complexities of sustainability and lead organizations towards a sustainable future.

Combining vehicle routing and bin packing problem for vehicle routing planning: A case study of a chemical factory

In the logistics distribution process, effective transportation management is required to ensure quality and timely delivery. In addition, transportation must be more economical and faster. The case study company is a chemical plant, an industrial company that produces products for hygiene and cleaning. The delivery manager plans the transportation routes based only on her experience because no decision-making aids are available. In addition, the manager considers the shipping order from first to last when arranging the products on the transportation vehicles. The goods for the final delivery location are placed at the back and bottom of the delivery truck. This cannot guarantee that the transportation routes set by the manager are suitable. Therefore, this study aims to plan delivery routes, arrange items in trucks, and reduce transportation costs for a case study of a chemical factory by using vehicle route problems and container filling problems. Then, the program is developed in Python using the Saving Algorithm, the 3D First Fit Decreasing Algorithm, and the 3D Best Fit Algorithm. The results show that the program method can reduce the use of transportation vehicles from 19 to 14, which is 26.32%; reduce the total distance from 5,499.8 kilometers to 3,406.92 kilometers, which is 38.05%; reduce the wages of transportation vehicles from 36,666 to 24,993 baht, which is 31.84%; can increase the average total weight per vehicle from 961.22 to 1,319.71 kilograms, which is 37.30%; and increase the average space utilization per vehicle from 37.93% to 51.47%, which is 13.54%. This method can reduce costs and increase efficiency for the company. Finally, the developed program also supports inexperienced operations managers in making decisions when planning transportation routes and loading goods, Thereby saving working time.

Optimizing risk mitigation in maritime supply chains through strategic supplier relationship management

Modern supply chains face escalating vulnerabilities, especially in the maritime industry. Traditional lean supply chain management lacks flexibility and risk mitigation measures, encouraging the proposal of agile-focused SCM. The success of companies is intricately tied to supplier performance, highlighting the pivotal role of procurement in risk mitigation through supplier relationship management (SRM) strategies. This emphasizes the role of procurement in risk mitigation since they manage suppliers using supplier relationship management (SRM) strategies. To properly apply SRM strategies, suppliers are segmented. The standard segmentation method is the Purchasing Portfolio Matrix (PPM). The downfall of this matrix is the focus on power relations, which misses a softer relationship side of SRM. The Supplier Potential Matrix (SPM) includes relationship dynamics but overlooks supply risk. A new matrix for segmentation is proposed, the Integrated Supplier Matrix (ISM), which combines and integrates the PPM and SPM. A case study in a maritime company assesses risks using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), revealing significant procurement risks such as product uniqueness, regulatory compliance, and external factors. The ISM then establishes relationships between supplier willingness, capabilities, risks, and profit impact. The findings emphasize the critical role of communication and trust in managing trade-offs within supplier relationship management (SRM).
