In the horticultural fresh food supply chain network in the Netherlands, a crisis is emerging. The market is out of balance and many growers are facing bankruptcy, in the period of 2011-2013, 50% of the growers were not able to pay interest and redemption. Trust between participants in the supply chain network has decreased. This chapter presents the currently not established and identifies design requirements for new systems to address this challenge and provide directions for possible improvement. As a result, this chapter introduces the concept of SamenMarkt ® , a participatory system in which multi-agent system technology enables distributed price negotiation, distribution and communication between producers, retailers and consumers. A SWOT analysis of the concept of SamenMarkt ® is provided together with a research and development plan in which simulation and emulation create the basis for stakeholder-and participant involvement in the design process of a distributed digital market place. Further research aims to study how SamenMarkt ® can provide a solution space for the emerging global food crises. At present, we are using agent-based modelling to simulate the present market and scenarios. The next step will be to build the actual agent-based platform for real-time negotiations and business intelligence.

Companies of all sizes must consider the implementation of technological tools in all their operations. Regarding small companies, there is an undeniable increase in the implementation of e-commerce, or in intention to do so, as evidenced by SEBRAE (2015) in their annual study on the subject. The present work is categorized as a case study, in which a company in the service sector, placed in Osasco city, in São Paulo, was analyzed. We sought to analyze the results of the implementation of electronic tools for sales (messaging apps and electronic sites) of a small company. Thus, we observed the operations of the company, comparing the similarities and differences between electronic sales operation and the physical store, and how the results from these channels behaved. The analysis pointed to the growth in sales after the adoption of the technological tools. Moreover, we also found that convenience and meeting deadlines are fundamental factors for e-commerce or electronic service to be successful.

“…SWOT is used to segregate the environmental factors and forces into internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats (Valentin 2001;Duarte et al 2006). Since its inception in the 1950s, SWOT has gained increasing success as a strategic management tool (Panagiotou 2003). SWOT is still alive and well as the popular framework for classifying environmental factors (Hitt et al 2000;Anderson and Vince 2002).…”

A soft multi-criteria decision analysis model with application to the European Union enlargement

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper proposes a new multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model that uses a series of existing intuitive and analytical methods to systematically capture both objective and subjective beliefs and preferences from a group of decision makers (DMs). A defuzzification method that combines entropy and the theory of displaced ideal synthesizes crisp values from the DMs' subjective judgments. This approach assists the DMs in their selection process by plotting alternatives in a four quadrant graph and considering their Euclidean distance from the "ideal" choice. A pilot study illustrates the details of the proposed method. The DMs were a group of graduate students from the University of Paderborn in Germany. The pilot study concerned the addition of new members into the European Union (EU), a decision that has profound economic and political effects on both the entering and existing members of the Union. The DMs were required to consider a large number of internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats in assessing the decision to enlarge the EU. Although the pilot study was not performed by actual DMs from the EU, it was an excellent platform for testing the proposed model.
