Environmental degradation and socioeconomic dilemma continue to affect agricultural productivity in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. Several works of literature confirm the high level of pollution and contamination of land and water as a result of over 50 years of oil production in the region. The effects of environmental pollution continue to aggravate the hardship of the local people, which generates development friction, threaten oil operation, and mutually contrive relational efforts, by so invoking mistrust between oil companies and the host communities. Sustainability programs of oil companies often provide the channel to engage and promote community relations from which projects are conceived and executed. Despite sustainability efforts of oil companies, the region continues to experience oil spills and environmental degradation.Hence, the current research explores the sustainability efforts of a multinational oil company to establish whether the company’s leadership makes environmental considerations and to identify possible corrections that could be adopted to achieve sustainable value. For this purpose, the paper employed a single case study approach using open-ended interview sessions in collecting data. Research data were gathered from a sample of 20 experienced sustainability practitioners of the oil company, partnering nonprofit organizations, and community leaders through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Data were segmented and categorized. The data analysis process revealed several themes regarding the challenges and shortfalls of sustainability programs in the region. The evidence found suggests that implementing a transparent and inclusive sustainability management system is essential to enable a systems view in contemplating sustainability programs. In so doing, oil MNCs leaders could enable effective environmental consideration in their sustainability programs to help reinvigorate productive agriculture and ensure continuing oil operation.

For the last few decades there has been growing interest in making more integrated business decisions across larger segments of the logistic and distribution networks. Modern information technology is allowing this idea to be implemented, but there is need to develop a way of effective use of information technologies that support this business direction. In this paper a methodology to assist distribution networks reengineering with the aim of integrating logistic processes within the distribution supply chain has been promoted. The emphasis of methodology is on the business processes modelling and reengineering in the distribution network. Finally, this paper presents an oil company case study to illustrate how the methodology can be applied in practice.

In vogue with the international currents of public management, the United Kingdom's New Labour government sees the outsourcing, or externalisation, of public service delivery as a key instrument of performance improvement. Evidence suggests, however, that a significant proportion of local authorities are reluctant to externalise. On the basis of fifty interviews in six case-study authorities, the author identifies five reasons for a reluctance to externalise. He further considers the degree of theoretical support for this reluctance, concluding that gaps in our knowledge—critical to ‘make or buy’ decisions—make it impossible to determine whether a reluctance to externalise is well founded or not.

Background: Despite an array of available guidelines and research, many organizations continue to seek innovative ways to decrease time delays and enhance their stroke care delivery systems. After dissecting the case of an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient cared for in our facility, many delays were noted from onset of symptoms until admission to ED. Purpose: The purpose of the HASTe (Hyper Acute Stroke Team) initiative is to utilize a case-study approach to discover pre-hospital and ED delays, and offer quality improvement project ideas that can be used to enhance stroke-care delivery systems. Methods: With leadership from the Stroke Program Director, 15 neuro-critical care nurses formed the HASTe to ameliorate delays noted in AIS care. A case-study review of an AIS patient led to a schematic timeline map which demonstrated minutes lost at each area of delay. Identified areas of delay included lack of community knowledge on stroke, preventative delays in Emergency Medical System (EMS) on-scene time, lack of updated AHA/ASA guideline knowledge at an outside facility ED, inefficient transfer processes to our facility for endovascular intervention, and technical delays in electronic medical record entry. All of these factors contributed to time lost for reperfusion therapy. Results: Pre-hospital and ED delays contributed to approximately 120 minutes lost. After analyzing these delays, the HASTe initiated several performance improvement projects to address the delays. Community and EMS presentations covering the urgency of stroke were created. Connections were made with outside facility ED educators to offer in-services on AHA/ASA updates. Improved transfer processes were coordinated with local EMS administration and private ambulances. A pre-admitted “John Doe-Stroke” medical record was created for potential stroke patients coming in to our ED. Conclusions: A team approach such as the HASTe is an innovative way to integrate knowledge gleaned from individual case studies to induce coordinated performance improvement projects that affect the community, EMS, and ED. Further case study reviews can reveal other areas in which the HASTe can positively affect change in the continuum of stroke care.
