Environmental Management System for Small Business

The upholstery remanufacturing service is an activity that provides for the sale of products that contain reused items, extending their lifespan. The objective of this study is to propose a simple and feasible Environmental Management System (EMS) for small businesses, particularly, for the upholstery company sector. The implementation of the existing EMS standards is hampered by the lack of elements in the upholstery companies. Thus, the implementation of an EMS is still far from the reality of these small enterprises. Visits were made to twenty-eight upholstery companies in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, to get to know the sector and accompany the production process, as well as observing the activity's environmental aspects. The EMS standards do not meet the needs of small businesses, however, it is possible to outline a minimum set of procedures for improving the enterprise’ sustainability, such as the environmental organization, employees training, reducing material losses, using Personal Protective Equipment, the adequate destination of residues, allowing the reuse of materials wasted in the process, among others. The results provide subsidies for application to small companies in Brazil and other parts of the world, once there is a low incidence of scientific work with this bias.

The mining sector is a manufacturing company sector whose activities consist of extracting, processing and exploiting and selling coal, minerals, metals and natural gas. This research was conducted with the aim to determine whether ROA is affected by cash turnover, accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover using documentation as a data collection and a method of multiple linear regression analysis through SPSS data processing. The population used is the mining and quarrying sector companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2017-2019 totaling 43 companies. The purposive sampling method was used in determining the sample which resulted in 33 samples. The research shows that cash turnover, accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover have no effect on ROA because this is due to a decrease in the amount of production, cash flow constraints due to low turnover of accounts receivable and low sales so that inventory turnover is slow and inventory costs are higher.

ALARP Criteria to Estimate Acceptability and Tolerability Thresholds of the Investment Risk

Assessing the riskiness of investments in civil works is an integral part of the decision-making process. The main limitation is the absence, both in the regulatory landscape and in the literature of the sector, of threshold values that can guide the analyst in expressing an assessment on the acceptance of the investment risk. The aim of the paper is to define a risk management model that overcomes this gap by introducing acceptability and tolerability thresholds for project risk. The idea is to jointly use: (i) the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) logic, from which the concepts threshold of acceptability and tolerability of risk derive, for the first time applied to assess the project risk in the civil field; (ii) the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and statistical methods to define an innovative methodology for estimating the aforementioned threshold values. According to the proposed approach, these risk limit values can be specified according to both the investment sector and the socio-economic context of the project. The implementation of the methodology in the civil company sector in Europe allows to validate the described model. The elaborations show that the financial performance of the project is widely acceptable if the Expected Internal Rate of Return is greater than 7.8%; unacceptable if the expected rate of return is less than 5.6%; and tolerable as an ALARP if the expected rate is between 5.6% and 7.8%. The estimated acceptability and tolerability thresholds can provide the economic operator with a more immediate and consistent evaluation of the triangular balance of risks, costs, and benefits. This allows the decision-making process to become more rational and transparent.

How to convert Millennial consumers to brand evangelists through social media micro-influencers

Undoubtedly, in the modern age of digitalization, Millennials, who are considered digital natives, have become a massive target market for salespersons. Changes in the way Millennials think accompanied by an explosion of social media have led to an increased focus on social media influencer marketing in the company sector. To help establish a new marketing paradigm that accounts for these changes, this research aims to conceptualize and investigate the process of building consumer-brand relationships with Millennial consumers through social media micro-influencers. Findings based on structural equation modeling revealed that four core characteristics of social media micro-influencers (i.e., authenticity, the meaning of the influencer, specific content, and secret sharing) were a significant antecedent of brand engagement and brand love, which, in turn, mediated the pathway from social media micro-influencer characteristics to brand evangelism. Understanding what social media micro-influencers mean to Millennials offers the promise of improving brand evangelism through more precise market analysis and market strategy. In the discussion, the paper introduces a three-stage building method towards brand evangelism through social media micro-influencer, including: (1) the stage of selecting influencers; (2) the stage of constructing intense emotional responses to the brand (brand engagement and brand love); and ultimately (3) the stage of becoming a brand evangelist. Lastly, limitations and future directions were discussed.

DHFL Meltdown: The Corporate Governance Lapses

India’s non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs), broadly constituting the less-regulated shadow banking sector, have been plagued with scams, triggering a domino effect in the Indian money market. Major corporate governance issues were highlighted in NBFIs with the unfurling of the ILF&S fraud; it virtually created a sub-prime crisis. In such a scenario, where the shadow banking sector was subject to change in regulations to ensure vigilance, corporate governance lapses had again led to the meltdown of Kapil Wadhawan led Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL). Registering a net profit growth of 25% in the third quarter of financial year 2017, DHFL was one of India’s leading housing finance companies with a value of whopping ₹1.01 trillion as its asset under management (AUM). The company had nose-dived from its coveted position, suffering a loss of ₹22.23 million for the last quarter of the financial year 2018–2019. The company’s credit ratings of commercial papers and non-convertible debentures were downgraded; non-payment of interests led to enforcement of resolution plan, with the board of directors acceding to nationalized banks. The company’s reputation had crashed with its share prices, amidst allegations of lookout notice issued for its promoters for siphoning funds through shell companies. The case describes the oversights and negligence of DHFL in terms of corporate governance practices in the context of the NBFC (non-banking financial company) sector. The jury is out to evaluate whether Wadhawan had followed the rules of corporate governance in letter and spirit, or the tightening noose of regulations and market sentiments around the ‘shadow banking’ sector of India spelt doom for DHFL.
