“…Sensitivity analysis is a prominent analytic approach for determining how much the stability of a solution is affected by tiny changes in input values. (Mukhametzyanov and Pamucar 2018 ; Shanker et al 2021 ). Chang et al ( 2007 ) demonstrated how small differences in relative weights might lead to substantial differences in the final structure of components.…”

Recent disasters, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have sparked an interest in new applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in humanitarian aid. Nevertheless, there are still many divisive changes that need to be made in order to implement UAVs into a country’s humanitarian sector successfully. Hence, this paper aims to analyze the various barriers hindering the implementation of UAVs in humanitarian logistics for both developed and developing nations. To accomplish this, the study is presented in three steps. First, previous literature and opinions from experts are analyzed to illuminate particular factors that hinder UAV implementation. Next, we propose an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) based graph theory and matrix approach (GTMA) to calculate a drone implementation hindrance index (DIHI). The GTMA method used in this paper utilizes the PERMAN algorithm to calculate the permanent function. Finally, the DIHI values are plotted and analyzed to compare the readiness of drone implementation between developed and developing economies. A sensitivity analysis is then performed to provide validity to the results obtained. The study has revealed that both types of countries must first improve their inadequate government regulations regarding humanitarian UAVs. Developing countries must also focus on enhancing the technological awareness of their population. The results of this study can be used by policymakers and practitioners to smoothly implement UAVs in their country's humanitarian sector. The general index defined in this paper can also be calculated for specific countries using the steps mentioned in the manuscript.

“…Although this goes beyond the scope of this paper, COVID-19 and the measures associated with it such as lockdown and social distancing can have a detrimental impact on these businesses and their employees' wellbeing (e.g. Khan, 2020;Yang et al, 2021;Shanker et al, 2021;Tuzovic and Kabadayi, 2021).…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the linking between employees' working life (EWL) and job performance of ethnic minority Bangladeshi restaurants in Greater London.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use in depth face-to-face interviews of 40 participants working in 20 Bangladeshi restaurants (BRs) following a convenience sampling method. A thematic analysis technique, with the help of QSR N10, developed two key themes related to EWL and performance.FindingsThese themes highlight several aspects of the relationship between EWL and performance. First, EWL is “beyond” the UK tradition; employers show a domineering attitude; however, employees continue to work due to lack of skills and competence. Second, employees perceive and present themselves as satisfied; however, this satisfaction is not reflected in the business performance of BRs. Third, the analysis shows that business owners “trap strategy” constrains employees to develop their skills for mobility to other industries. Hence, employees express satisfaction with their existing situation on the basis that it is the best they can hope for, given their specific skills and competence, and need for some security in the UK. Fourth, non-financial performance, for example, job autonomy, sense of fulfilment is related to EWL.Practical implicationsThe paper provides a framework to promote a better understanding of the linking between employees' working life and performance of UK ethnic minority restaurants. Also, the paper makes recommendations for further research, including an examination of the applicability of the findings to SMEs operated by other ethnic groups in the UK.Originality/valueThis paper adds to the scarce literature on the working life of people in Bangladeshi restaurant businesses in the UK and the relationship between EWL and business performance.

“…In order to combat variability and provide an answer to these questions, a sensitivity analysis was performed. Sensitivity analysis is a popular analytic technique utilised to determine how much a solution's stability depends on small input values variations (Shanker et al , 2021). A study by Chang et al (2007) demonstrated how minute variations in relative weights could result in large variations in the final structure of factors.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyse various risks associated with third-party logistics (3PL) in the coffee supply chain and to present a framework that computes the influence of these risks on the critical success factors of the coffee supply chain.Design/methodology/approachThe risks have been identified through a comprehensive literature review and validation by industry experts. The paper utilises an interpretive structural modelling (ISM) methodology for developing a hierarchical relationship among the CSFs. Furthermore, fuzzy MICMAC analysis is carried out to categorise these CSFs based on their driving power and dependence value. The fuzzy technique for order preferences by the similarity of an ideal solution (fuzzy-TOPSIS) approach has been applied to prioritise the risks associated with 3PL based on their ability to influence the CSFs of the coffee SC. Furthermore, we performed a sensitivity analysis to analyse the stability of the results obtained in this study.FindingsThis study illustrates ten risks associated with 3PL and five CSFs in the coffee supply chain. The analysis revealed that coffee enterprises need to develop a balanced pricing strategy to ensure a sustainable competitive advantage, whereas the lack of direct customer communication is the most dominant 3PL risk affecting the CSFs.Practical implicationsThis research provides coffee enterprises with a generalised framework with set parameters that can be used to attain a successful coffee supply chain in any developing nation.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature by being the first kind of study, which has used fuzzy ISM-MICMAC to analyse the CSFs of the coffee supply chain and fuzzy-TOPSIS for analysing the impact of various risks associated with the 3PL in the coffee supply chain. Thus, this work can be considered a benchmark for future research and advancement in the coffee business field.
