“…However, these ideas have been developed into a broad definition of appropriateness in the past four decades which involves more aspects (Hollick, 1982;Pellegrini, 1979;Sianipar et al, 2013;Sianipar, Pamatang, Yudoko, Dowaki, & Adhiutama, 2014). (Evans et al, 2018) Many studies on appropriate technology in developing countries have established some issues and also suitable frameworks (Akubue, 2000;Bowonder, 1979;Brunn, 1996;Wicklein, 1998). This study adapts methods by Wicklein (1998) in selecting appropriate technology for traditional craft practices, in this case, Indonesian stitch resist dyeing craft practices.…”

“…In summary, the rapid commercialisation of craft products can jeopardise cultural and social values because usually the decisions are driven only by economic considerations. Thus, it is important to select an appropriate method to develop traditional techniques without losing their cultural aspects and to sustain the traditions of the community (Brunn, 1996). Previous studies have examined revitalisation strategies to sustain or transform the existence of culturally significant products and practices to fit with contemporary society and for the future without losing their cultural significance (Cassidy, 2018;Evans, Holroyd, Walker, Cassidy, & Jung, 2018;A.…”

This paper presents initial findings from an ongoing research project that explores possibilities for design and technology to contribute in revitalising traditional Indonesian stitch resist dyeing craft practices. The custom of Indonesian textile making has been mostly based on culture and tradition. In recent decades, the Indonesian traditional textile craft practices have transformed into producing commodity products and have shaped new culture of traditional craft practices. The study was conducted in three locations in Indonesia with an ethnographic approach, then the findings were analysed in accordance with established revitalisation strategies taxonomies and appropriate technology frameworks. A simple and individual tool with low cost multipurpose technology is recommended to improve the pattern quality and consistency as the main focus on revitalising the Indonesian stitch resist dyeing craft practice. This will preserve the existing working culture and minimise the internal risk factors whilst also being more sustainable in the long term.

“…Other authors have alleged that nobody is using FMS to manage flexibly, and this may be the reason''. Bruun and Mefford (1996) agree, with particular reference to the utility of a component factory in a developing country.``If you want to be able to use these components in your main factory, you have a major training task ahead of you''. The literature is in agreement that there is a difficulty, and that the difficulty is more likely to be a people problem than a machine problem.…”

Innovation specialists from the largest British companies discussed what they wanted to know about innovation, and asked the academic community to suggest some answers. Some, but by no means all, of their questions had already been answered in the published literature. The behaviours that support a culture of innovation include a market orientation, an innovation‐friendly ruling coalition, and organisational structures that propel novelty. These behaviours also encourage creativity if the risk‐taking employees are rewarded for success and if they are asked to explain their personal mission at intervals. Several methods which researchers have found effective for the identification of ideas which may become market winners are discussed, as are methods building organisational competencies for innovation. Some of their remaining questions are being addressed by research projects currently in progress.

“…(2009), it is not the geographical location that influences the performance of a plant when compared with other plants but the suppliers' ability to deliver as at when due. In opposition to this view, Bruun and Mefford (1996) asserted that every production system should be tailored to its environment. For instance, just-in-time (JIT) production system may be inappropriate for developing countries because of certain environmental requirements (Oral, Mistikoglu, & Erdis, 2003).…”

<p>Identification of the causes of supply chain risks is a logical step towards its effective management. The purpose of this study is to explore the causes of supply chain risks, their impacts, and the mitigating strategies used among the manufacturing firms in Nigeria. An exploratory qualitative multiple case research methodology combined with the quantitative content analysis is used for this study. A sample of ten manufacturing firms cutting across three different sub-sectors (Pharmaceutical & Health, Food & Beverage, and Conglomerate) was chosen for the study. Partial and complete open-ended questions in the interview guide were used for the interviews conducted among the respondents. The study revealed the common causes of supply chain risks in manufacturing firms in Nigeria which include; transportation delays, variation in raw material prices and quantities, unexpected customer demands, and constant power outages.</p>
