The case study explores the growth and regional involvement of Douro SkinCare[1], a company created by women that operates in the field of selective Biological Cosmetics through the creation, development and production of cosmetic lines that are based on emblematic raw materials of the Douro Region, one of the oldest wine-growing areas with more history in the world, located in the north of our country, Portugal. It uses Douro grapes and PORT WINE DNA ™ (Douro Nuclear Aroma), created from the first port wine from entirely organic production to develop cosmetic lines produced with endogenous products. The territorial intensive products (TIP) are associated directly with the region and are intensively endogenous. TIPs are indirectly related with local tourism as a trademark.This case study uses a qualitative methodology, based on YIN (1998) to select and analyse information collected by the interviewers and other secondary information sources.This case illustrates how a brand can contribute for regional development and expansion by a small female business. It also highlights the role of the entrepreneurs in introducing modernity, innovation and product diversification to allow such a small firm to reach new markets.This research could bring new insights and relevant proposals to the relation between TIPs, female entrepreneurship, tourism and regional development.Additionally, by utilizing grapes and/or wine and other derived products produced from vines grown completely organically in the Douro region in northern Portugal, the firm has contributed significantly to create awareness about the sustainability of this natural resource and the region itself.[1] http://douroskincare.com/, retrieved on July 28, 2016.

Abstract The concept of globalization appeared in the Indian subcontinent in 1991. With the onset of liberalization, privatization and globalization a new chapter has been opened up in the Indian economy and her billion plus population. The Hugli district is one of the most renowned names in the handloom industry of West Bengal and a good percentage of people are engaged in this heritage industry. The study is conducted in five handloom clusters of the district, namely – Dhaniakhali - Somaspur, Begumpur, Haripal, Rajbolhat and Balagar. The main objectives of this paper were to investigate the effects of globalization on the rural handloom weaver community, in terms of their economic and social conditions. At the same time the article intends to analyse the changes in the over all production scenario of the handloom industry in the district due to modernization. It can be said that the handloom industry of the Hugli district is suffering from some inherent problems like low productivity, lack of product diversification and problems related to procuring raw materials. The co-operative sectors are indifferent to enlarging their market sphere. Though there are plenty of efficient and skilled weavers but they are only doing their traditional practices, the adoption of modern techniques is significantly poor among the weavers. Therefore the new generations are totally unwilling to accept weaving as their main occupation because of the uncertainty of the industry. The article also suggests some strategies to make this ever challenging industry globally competitive, such as, the identification of modern trends, promotion of exports, market assessment so that this heritage industry can cope with the modern trends and utilise the benefits of globalization.

The main theme of the book is the study of how "Third Worldism"-as aschool of thought-was born and developed, how it reached its apogee in themid-1970s, and how it disappeared from the international scene in the 1980s,leaving in its place new trends such as liberalization, democratization, andlslamism. The author demonstrates his thesis through an examination ofAlgeria. Robert Malley explains his choice of Algeria for this case study by sayingthat Algeria is one of the "principal surrogates of Third Worldism," addingthat "understanding Algeria's contemporary history is a good way to understandwhat has happened to the formerly progressive Third World." This led theauthor to divide his book into three parts.Part 1, "Gestation," is itself subdivided into two chapters. Chapter 1, "WhenSouth Met North," shows how Third Worldism was born th.rough a process ofdialogue/conflict between the North and the South. Chapter 2, "The Origins ofAlgerian Third Worldism," demonstrates how Third World ideas were born anddeveloped in Algeria, starting from the Ottoman era, th.rough the colonial periodand the war for Algerian independence up to its apogee in the mid-1970s. Inparticular, he emphasizes the roles played by such Algerian personalities asMessali Hadj, the Emir Khaled, Ferhat Abbas, and Ibn Badis, in promoting theideas of freedom, equality, solidarity, and justice, which have been the foundingprinciples of Third Worldism. The author also shows the role that Islam hasalways played in Third Worldist Algeria, notably through what has been called"Socialist Islam."Part 2, "Apogee," includes two chapters. In chapter 1 (the third chapter), "TheMaking of a World," the author starts with the concept of Third World (TiersMonde) as used for the first time in 1952 by French economist Alfred Sauvy,in relation to the "Tiers-Etats" which played an important role in the FrenchRevolution in 1789. Then, the author recaJJs the authentic founding event ofThird Worldism-the Bandung Conference of 1955. At the conference, twentynineAfro-Asian "heads of states, including the Algerian FLN, representing1,300 million people," met to promote a collective self-reliance strategy withinThird World countries; curiously enough, at the end of it, a resolution wasadopted calling for the independence of Algeria. The apogee of Third Worldism,the author recalls, was reached in 1974 when the U.N. General Assemblylaunched its Sixth Special Session on Raw Materials and Development andcalled-under the initiative of Algeria-for a New International EconomicOrder (NIEO) based on the principles of equity, sovereignty, equality, interdependence,common interest, and cooperation among all states, irrespective ofthe economic and social systems ...

The workshop market has a pretty good potential for “dodol” business. Dodol has become a characteristic of this region so that the demand will remain stable. Sales of dodol, which increases every year, makes this food have a bright prospect to develop because the raw  materials for its manufacture are available locally. The purpose of this research is to provide analysis and the impact of existing problems, from a phenomenon due to the opening of a high-cliff-field toll road to economic life and the selling power of snacks and food in small and medium-sized enterprises.There fore, it is not out of business due to development impacts of high-cliff-field toll road.

Type of Research was Case Research (Case Study). The impact of the construction of the Medan-Tebing Tinggi toll road is very important for the MSME community around the workshop market. The impact was not only on the community but also on the regional government.Per capita income from the MSME market workshop decreased dramatically to 50% of income per month. In addition, fewer workers were employed by MSMEs, where previously they could employ 2 to 5 people per store. Now they can only employ 1 to 2 people. Regional Original Income derived from restitution has significantly dropped since the construction of the toll road. On the other hand, the positive impact felt by the market community is that there was no congestion and the air pollution decreased.

Minden termelő szervezet törekszik arra, hogy folyamatait minél gazdaságosabb módon végezze a kiadások csökkentése és a profit maximalizálása érdekében. Az egyik fő irány a kiadások csökkentése céljából a készletérték minél alacsonyabb szinten tartása. Ennek eléréséhez több folyamatot is működtet a vizsgált vállalat, nevezetesen az úgynevezett beszállítók által vezérelt raktárkészlet ellenőrzési folyamatot (Vendor Managed Inventory –VMI), amikor a beszállító kezeli a vállalat készleteit és a konszignációs eljárást, ahol a beszállító kihelyezi a gyár területére a készletet. Ennek a két eljárásnak a bemutatása és elemzése a kutatásunk célja. Arra a kérdésre keresünk választ, hogy ezek alkalmazásával valóban csökken-e a készletben lekötött tőke a vizsgált vállalat számára, és ha igen, akkor milyen mértékben? További kérdés, hogy elégséges-e a készletben lekötött tőkecsökkentés szintje ahhoz, hogy ezeket a jövőben is alkalmazzák vagy újra bevezessék? A kutatást esettanulmány jelleggel valósítottuk meg az Észak-alföldi régióban található termelő vállalatnál figyelembe véve az információs technológiai rendszerek szerepét. --- Processes to Minimize Raw Materials Inventory Level in the Supply Chain Producers are eager to implement their processes more effectively in order to minimize costs and to maximize profit. The primary purpose is to keep inventory value at the lowest possible rate to minimize costs. To this end, the investigated organization operates several processes. One of them is the so-called Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), in which the supplier manages the inventory of the customer and the second is the consignment inventory processing, in which suppliers store goods at the customer location. The principal goal of this paper is to examine whether the application of these methods may result in cost-effective savings for the examined organization and if yes, to what extent. Is the level of cost saving sufficient to enable future application or re-introduction? Research was carried out within the framework of a case study at a producing organization in the North-Great Plain Region taking into consideration the role of information technology systems.
