“…The product mix was among the remaining five criteria with less influence as well as information database, local sources, local partners, and human resources. This finding is not in line with the CSC literature where product mix is often referred to as one of the main criteria on flexibility (Siham et al 2015;Sillanpää 2015;Nudurupati et al 2011). The implications of results from our fuzzy AHP analysis are discussed further in Sect.…”

“…In our study, the list of criteria included volume, mix, local sourcing, assets, fleets, delivery, IT support, information database, DSS, human resources, and local partners. Having compared our lists with commercial literature (for instance Siham et al 2015or Sillanpää 2015, we noticed that verifying elements of our measurement framework before implementation is of great importance.…”

The efficient and effective response to disasters critically depends on humanitarian supply chains (HSCs). HSCs need to be flexible to adapt to uncertainties in needs, infrastructure conditions, and behavior of other organizations. The concept of 'network flexibility' is, however, not clearly defined. The lack of an unanimous definition has led to a lack of consistent understanding and comparisons. This paper makes a threefold contribution: first, it defines the concept of network flexibility for HSC in the context of sudden onset disasters. Second, it proposes a framework to measure network flexibility in HSCs. Third, we apply our framework to the 2015 Nepal earthquake case and provide evidence-based insights regarding how humanitarian organizations can improve network flexibility in HSCs. Our analyses for Nepal case show that delivery, IT support, and fleet criteria have the most influence on flexibility. Also, the application of our framework on the downstream network of nine humanitarian organizations shows low levels of network flexibility in all but one. This finding explains why several disruptions happened in relief distributions during the Nepal response.

“…Once the purpose of the research was defined, a population represented by 38 members of the educational community of the Madre Verónica Briguglio headquarters (managers, teachers, operatives and parents) was established. To define the size of the sample, discretionary sampling was considered (Table 1), which consists in the selection of a small number of units in the study, without intervention of chance and under some criterion established by the researcher [11]. Therefore, the following characteristics were determined: (a) geographical, living in the area of influence of the educational institution; (b) labor, that were hired officials; (c) association, which will be part of the school governing body (board of directors, academics or parents' association).…”

The objective of the research was oriented to understand the Empowerment as a managerial strategy at an individual, organizational and community level in the Madre Verónica Briguglio headquarters (Riohacha-Colombia). Methodologically, it was of a qualitative nature and a discretionary sample of 7 members of the educational community was taken (managers, teachers, operatives and parents). As a data collection technique, observation was used, implemented through the interview instrument. For the analysis of the data, a phenomenological study was applied, which generated 8 essential-universal categories corresponding to each of the aspects of the interview: exercising abilities, cognitive abilities, control over assigned resources, social skills, support in institutional activities, use of environmental resources, conflict resolution and recognition of diversity. Keyword-Decision Making, Conflict resolution, Social skills, Cognitive skills I. INTRODUCTION The articulation of the Empowerment concept is attributed to the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. In developing his theory and philosophy of education, he focused on the humanity of the oppressed and believed it necessary to enter his world and identify with them to understand his needs. From this, Lorraine Gutiérrez in 1990 conceptualized Empowerment as a process to increase personal, interpersonal or political power and improve the lives of marginalized people; I also argue that the ultimate goal was the socio-political liberation of the excluded communities [1]. On the other hand, Empowerment is also defined as an active and participatory process through which individuals and groups gain greater control over their lives, acquire rights and reduce marginality. The importance of this has been recognized in statements by important institutions such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations. For researchers from different disciplines, this process represents an approach based on strengths and the ability of people to face difficult circumstances or conditions of a community, to define and actively participate in solutions to the problems they face [2]. As exemplars of the Empowerment study, we have [3], where the social consequences of ICT are examined and the existing knowledge of the Empowerment perspective is used as a theoretical lens, not only to conduct the study, but also to analyze the data with expectations based on this interpretative approach and make new, unidentifiable findings at the beginning of the investigation. On the other hand, in [4] a systematic review and a meta-analysis of the implementation and effectiveness of Empowerment in the community of sex workers is carried out, in order to reduce HIV infection and promote health and human rights in general. Finally, in [5] the complex interaction between the Empowerment of patients with type 2 diabetes and the socio-demographic characteristics, the clinical results and an ample set of dimensions centered on the people is analyzed, in order to provide useful elements to improve the prog...

This study focuses on the effect of five supply chain practices: supplier integration, internal integration, customer integration, information sharing, and postponement on supply chain performance. We conducted a survey by distributing questionnaires to 102 companies in the sector of batik in Surakarta, using purposive sampling. The findings show that in general, supply chain practices have impact on supply chain performance. More specifically, the internal integration and information sharing have significant positive effects on supply chain performance. Meanwhile, the study also finds that the supplier integration and customer integration do not significantly influence supply chain performance. Interestingly, the current study finds that postponement has a negative effect on supply chain performance.

Survei menggunakan kuesioner dilakukan pada 102 UKM Batik, di Surakarta dengan teknik purposive. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan praktik-praktik rantai pasokan berpengaruh terhadap kinerja rantai pasokan. Integrasi internal dan berbagi informasi merupakan praktik-praktik yang berpengaruh positif pada kinerja rantai pasokan. Sementara itu, integrasi pemasok dan integrasi pelanggan tidak berpengaruh pada kinerja rantai pasokan. Menariknya, studi ini menemukan bahwa penundaan berpengaruh negatif terhadap kinerja rantai pasokan.
