Advanced Framework for Integrating Risks into an Organizational Setting

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a systematic approach that strategically assesses risk management from a holistic standpoint, including the whole company or enterprise. The aforementioned approach is a top-down strategic methodology designed to detect, evaluate, and proactively address possible risks, threats, hazards, and other sources of damage that have the potential to impede an organization's operations and goals, or result in negative outcomes. ERM is a prominent framework that assists businesses in the identification, evaluation, and management of hazards at the enterprise level. Scholars identified many elements that serve as motivators for enterprises to participate in the process of ERM. These reasons include the likelihood of encountering financial hardship and the subsequent expenses, subpar profits performance, potential development prospects, and the autonomy of the board. The implementation of an effective risk management plan might potentially serve as a competitive advantage for organizations, facilitating their growth. This elucidates the extensive corpus of research devoted to ERM. This paper examines the fundamental connections between Enterprise Architecture and Risk Management and presents a proposed architectural framework for effectively incorporating risk considerations within the broader organizational context. This article presents a proposed strategy for attaining a comprehensive and shared perspective on hazards throughout an organization.

Give me my flowers before I die! Linking employee recognition, job satisfaction and employee retention in logistics companies: A multigroup analysis

It is quite clear that employee recognition may signify the way employers understand and appreciate employees' efforts towards the achievement of organizational goals in various domains. Similarly, employees are increasingly recognizing their values and the need for appreciation for the efforts directed towards organization's operations. This study explores the role of employee recognition on employee retention in the under-researched domain of logistics companies in Tanzania. Additionally, the study tests the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the main relationship and conducts a multigroup analysis among middle-aged and young adults. Structured questionnaires were employed to collect data from 237 employees and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The study established that recognition plays a role in enhancing retention. Also, job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between recognition and retention. The results from the multigroup analysis revealed that satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between recognition and retention among middle adults. Furthermore, there are statistical differences between middle and young adults in the effect of recognition on retention, satisfaction on retention, and the mediating effect of satisfaction. The findings further unveil insignificant differences in the relationship between recognition and satisfaction. Based on these main findings, the study concludes and provides relevant implications for academics and employing organizations, especially in the logistics industry, and points out areas for future research.

Capital Adequacy and its Influence on Bank Profitability in Nepal

Background: Capital is a fundamental component for any organization's existence and operation. It serves as the lifeblood for initiating and sustaining businesses, regardless of their scale. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the financial performance of Nepalese commercial banks' capital adequacy ratios. Considering the performance of Nepalese commercial banks, it explicitly investigates the impact of capital adequacy ratio, cost income ratio, debt to equity ratio, equity capital to assets, bank size, and liquid ratio.Methods: This study investigates the impact of capital adequacy on the profitability of commercial banks in Nepal, utilizing secondary data from all commercial banks spanning 2013 to 2022. Analyzing 20 commercial banks, the research reveals that Nepalese commercial banks, on average, generate a respectable profit with typical return variance. The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) consistently surpasses the 10% regulatory threshold, ensuring compliance with Basel III requirements and NRB directives. Results: The Average Assets Ratio (AAR) signifies a proactive approach to lending, contributing to enhanced profitability, while the Government Securities to Total Investment Ratio (G-STIR) indicates risk-averse practices with investments in risk-free assets. The Non-Performing Loans Ratio (NPLR) reflects the challenge of balancing low returns and high risk associated with non-performing loans. Correlation coefficients reveal complex relationships, indicating that increased capital, debt, and non-performing loans may lead to reduced profitability for Nepalese commercial banks. Regression analysis reinforces these findings, highlighting significantly negative correlations between Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and spread with capital adequacy determinants, and a positively insignificant relationship between government securities, total investment, and profitability metrics. Conclusions: The study explored capital adequacy determinants (CAR, D-ER, AAR, G-STIR, NPLR) and their impact on bank profitability in Nepal. CAR had no significant effect on ROA, exhibiting a negative correlation. Conversely, D-ER and Advances-to-Assets Ratio positively influenced ROA. G-STIR showed a positive relationship without significance, while NPLR had a significantly negative impact. Non-risk-weighted measures, particularly debt-equity, negatively affected profitability. The study highlighted the limited impact, suggesting a more nuanced capital management approach, emphasizing D-ER and Advances-to-Assets Ratio. Consideration of macroeconomic factors and a balanced capital structure are crucial for commercial banks in Nepal.

Improving supply chain risk assessment with artificial neural network predictions

Operational excellence serves as a cornerstone for the success of businesses,and effective risk management is key for minimizing disruptions, and ensuring business continuity. This paper proposes an innovative methodology that harnesses the power of machine learning in supply chain risk assessment to enhance the ability of organizations to identify, predict, and mitigate various risks that can impact their efficiency, effectiveness, and resilience. This study addresses the inherent subjectivity in human assessment which presents a significant challenges and potential biases in the evaluation process. Auditors, who play a crucial role in identifying and assessing risks within an organization's operations, often rely on subjective judgments influenced by their experiences, expertise, and personal biases. To mitigate this issue, we employ a deconstruction approach, breaking down risk factors into sub-factors, and leverage an Artificial Neural Network model as a predictive tool for accurate risk level predictions and enhanced assessment objectivity. Real-world data from a global automotive company specializing in wiring harnesses are utilized to train the Neural Network model, on a dataset of 2100 samples, exhibits good performance of risk prediction as evaluated by appropriate metrics such as Determination Coefficients and Mean Square Error. Overall, this research contributes to the advancement of risk management practices addressing the challenges of subjectivity in human assessment, to more objective by providing a reliable and data-driven framework that supports managers in strategic decision-making and fortifies supply chain operations through an early risk alarm, empowering organizations to proactively manage risks and achieve autonomy in effective risk management.

Mapping activities on climate and health to the essential public health operations (EPHO)

Abstract Issue/problem Variation exists in the degree to which public health organisations are taking action on climate change and health. However, all countries must effectively and rapidly operationalise climate and health strategy in order to protect national and global population health. Among the challenges, public health systems can have difficulty in conceiving practical ways of taking action. Description of the problem Our objective was to develop a resource to support public health organisations in identifying how they can begin to address the issue of climate change and health. It was important for the resource to be balanced in terms of providing tangible examples whilst being sufficiently high level so as to enable translation to different contexts. The method involved using the World Health Organization's essential public health operations (EPHOs) as a framework upon which to describe suggested actions on climate change and health. A collection of expert reports on climate and health were selected and each of the ten EPHOs were cross-referenced against these. Results The results are illustrated in a spider diagram in which examples of public health activities are written around the ten standard icons of the EPHOs, and shown connected to these by adjoining and interconnected lines. The visual nature of the diagram is planned to assist the user in more readily appreciating the relevance of climate and health activities in the wider context of the conventional public health agenda. Lessons To our knowledge, potential climate change and health activities have not been mapped to the EPHOs before. Users are encouraged to adapt the diagram as a living document in their own organisations and to update it iteratively, as well as in the light of new published expert recommendations on climate and health. Since the model is based on the WHO EPHOs and contains only high level examples, it is hoped it could prove relevant across settings and countries. Key messages • Based on published recommendations, we mapped high level activities on climate change and health to the World Health Organization’s essential public health operations (EPHO). • Since the model is based on the EPHOs, it is hoped it could prove relevant across settings and countries, and help to address barriers to public health action on climate and health.

Leading early childhood education centers as professional bureaucracies – social organizational structures in Finnish early childhood education

PurposeThis study examines the social organizational structure of one early childhood education (ECE) center in Finland and the relationship between this structure and the roles and the responsibilities of the members of the organization.Design/methodology/approachThe research is a qualitative case study with ethnographic features. Its variables for content analysis are based on Henry Mintzberg's theory of organizational design.FindingsThe study's results show that the organizational structure of the ECE center follows the organizational configuration of a Professional bureaucracy and that the multiprofessional teams follow the configuration of a Simple structure. The structures for centralization and decentralization are suitable for a professional bureaucracy, but the roles of the members of the organization and the processes for shared decision-making lack clarification. The shortage of qualified ECE teachers disrupts the function of the organization and the work of ECE leaders.Research limitations/implicationsThe educational background of subjects may have affected the findings.Originality/valueThe study uses Henry Mintzberg's organizational structure theory to evaluate how and why power is distributed and activities are coordinated at the ECE center. The results also show what parts of the organization pose challenges that most commonly disrupt the organization's operations. With these findings, it is possible to expand the understanding of roles and responsibilities in the currently reforming ECE environment and what ECE centers need to function effectively. The study is part of a larger research project and will be continued to examine the leadership culture of the ECE center.

Stronger together: Building nonprofit resilience through a network with a shared Mission and organizational humility

AbstractNonprofit organizations increasingly face surprising and disruptive shocks, beyond financial setbacks, that challenge an organization's operations, long‐term survival, and success. To continue to execute their mission, nonprofits must be resilient. Despite the importance of resilience in nonprofits, more research is needed to understand the factors that build organizational resilience and how leaders can help promote resilience. We conducted a qualitative case study, consisting of 23 interviews with organizational members and key partners, fieldwork, and archival information, of a documented resilient nonprofit organization. Our findings suggest that leaders can enhance resilience by gaining access to resources through collaboration, which is in line with previous theorizing. Our results add to previous research by providing a more nuanced understanding of how collaboration can facilitate resilience. Specifically, our findings suggest that resilience may be enhanced when organizational humility drives leaders to strategically constrain their network primarily to partners that share a common mission. Our research contributes predominantly to the organizational resilience literature, while offering more auxiliary contributions to the organizational humility literature. Further, our research offers practical guidance for how leaders of nonprofits can develop resilience in their organizations.

Comprehensive Analysis of IoT with Artificial Intelligence to Predictive Maintenance Optimization for Indian Shipbuilding

The extensive review of the literature evaluation on predictive maintenance (PdM) in this work focuses on system designs, goals, and methodologies. In the business world, any equipment or system failures or unscheduled downtime would negatively affect or stop an organization's key operations, possibly incurring heavy fines and irreparable reputational damage. Traditional maintenance methods now in use are plagued by a variety of limitations and preconceptions, including expensive preventive maintenance costs, insufficient or incorrect mathematical deterioration procedures, and manual feature extraction. The PdM maintenance framework is suggested as a new method of maintenance framework to prevent any damage only after the analytical analysis shows specific malfunctions or breakdowns, which is in line with the growth of digital building and the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and so on. We also present an overview of the three main types of fault diagnosis and prognosis methods used in PdM mechanisms: scientific, conventional Machine Learning (ML), and deep learning (DL). While offering a thorough assessment of DL-dependent techniques, we make a quick overview of the knowledge-based and conventional ML-dependent strategies used in various components or systems. Eventually, significant possibilities for further study are discussed.
