We are entering into a golden age of content and media. Today, media companies are
investing huge sums of money in non-traditional media delivery options, start-ups are
innovating and redefining how the content industry works, and consumers are demanding
and expecting access to virtually any content on any device at any time. This includes media
and entertainment content, but also corporate, social, marketing and personal media. The
tectonic shifts happening in the media and content world are going to irreversibly reshape
how companies and consumers create, display, view and consume content.

In this study, the purpose is to determine the Supplier Relations Efficiency, Supply Efficiency, Environmental Responsibility, Flexibility, Logistic Coordination, CRM (Customer Relations Management), Change Management, Order Processing, Innovation, and Communicative Skills, which are accepted as the prominent and basic factors in ensuring the process efficiencies of the logistic activities of the manufacturing companies located in Adıyaman, Gaziantep and Kilis in TRC1 Region. For this purpose, a scale consisting of 36 statements was used to collect data from 298 manufacturing companies in TRC1 Region Organized Industrial Zones. The One Way ANOVA Test was used in order to determine whether there are significant differences between the demographical variables of the companies. At the end of the analyses it was determined that there was a significant difference between the cities, sectors, the number of their employees and activity durations.
Because successful Innovation is new to so much of the business, it makes us think about how to manage it with a "new" process. But ultimately, the secret to making innovation really meaningful could lie in teaching the new dogs old tricks.

Supply Chain Management has evolved over time with frequent inputs from strategic innovations, technology changes and connectivity paradigms. It will continue to be so in coming decades when IIoT, Machine Learning , 3D Printing and Blockchain technologies mature. As the market place moves towards mass customising SCM professionals need to adopt more and more of Gray thinking rather than the conventional black or white approach.

Differences in the Emotional and Rational Appeal of Premium and Standard Bran...CScheiner
This study examines differences in the emotional and rational appeal of premium and standard brands in the promotion of automobiles. A content analysis of 216 print advertisements of premium brands and 276 of standard brands serve as basis for the analysis. Emotional and rational cues as well as emotion and argument types are used to compare premium with standard brands. The findings show that print advertisements are dominated by emotional appeals and that premium brands differ significantly from standard brands regarding the use of cues and types. Also, a clear hierarchy among emotional and argument types is found.
The role of manufacturing operations is the process of beginning a production process to a task of final assem-bly, with increased reliance on a significant number of supply chain participants who have differing objectives, perspectives and processes. However, an effective partnering between companies and their suppliers remains a key to lean supply chain management excel-lence. A lean supply chain offers competitive advantage to the suppliers, therefore the need for the Nigerian mar-ket to embrace the idea of lean based supply chain system. This paper examines the prospects of transforming from the traditional supply chain system to a lean supply chain system in Nigeria. But it is noted that the process could be tasking. It was observed that to succeed in lean supply chain management, organizations must be willing to share risks and rewards, and to build the underlying infrastructure to apply these tools. In this paper it was resounded that the rewards could be in-flaming as various benefits such as a stronger costumer, supplier relationship, increased competitive advantage with velocity of supply etc, applies. It is concluded that, to the Nigerian economy it will be increased cash flow from the costumers and increased market forces.
Globalization intensified competition in most industries. This came at a time when firms competing in mature markets were experiencing increased difficulty to grow revenues in their home markets. As a result, firms were forced to focus on cost reduction as a means to increase shareholder value. Firms also felt an increased dependence on suppliers for value creation.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management-OverviewThomas Tanel
This presentation is designed to take an overview of global supply chain logistics, both in terms of today's supply chain and in the demand flow management process, so you can know how to make the most of this powerful tool. You've probably heard something about these topics. You may even be vaguely familiar with them. But how much do you really know about their strategic importance and the specific benefits you can gain from having a solid understanding of them?
Here's the best way to investigate global supply chain logistics and the impact it can have on your organization. You will have the opportunity to explore a variety of logistics areas , extrapolate their meanings in ways that are appropriate for strategic planning, and apply the techniques needed to make it all work for your organization.
Your business needs and technology are in a constant state of rapid-fire change, but you can count on one thing remaining constant: the need to align logistics strategically with your market needs in order to gain a competitive advantage. This alignment requires building a supply and demand system that truly helps you respond to worldwide changes in sourcing and ever-shifting customer demand. What is the potential effect that global trade management will have on your supply chain? How do you convert digital value inputs into logistics value-added outputs? How can you harness the power of global supply chain logistics as a significant force in the execution of your corporate strategy? How can you gain the information you need to translate abstractions into concrete benefits through supply chain management and continuous flow distribution?
Drivers of supply chain transformation (why), characteristics of evolving supply chains as adaptive supply networks (what), and (how) principles to accelerate the transformation.

The Competitive Landscape
Competition is Changing
Money is scare
Markets are becoming volatile
Firms effectively using the strategic management process
Hypercompetition
Challenge competitors
Competition between many of the world’s industries is changing. Many of these industries are competing due to money being scare and markets becoming volatile. Boundaries that once seemed drawn between industries are becoming blurred. An example of this challenge would be the advances in interactive computer networks and telecommunications. These advancements have entered into the realm of the entertainment industry. We also see that many partnerships in the entertainment industry further blur the boundaries of the industry. In order to be successful and maintain a competitive edge, managers must adopt new strategies to stay current with the evolving conditions.
Many firms effectively use the strategic management process to help reduce the likelihood of failure with various challenges they may encounter.
Hypercompetition is a term often used to illustrate the competitive landscape. The conditions of hypercompetition assume that market stability is replaced by notions of inherent instability and change.
Hypercompetition results from the dynamics of strategic maneuvering among global and innovative combatants. It is a condition of rapidly escalating competition based on the following:
Price quality positioning;
Competition to create new know-how and establish first mover advantage; and
Competition to protect or invade established product or geographic markets.
In a hypercompetitive market, firms will want to challenge their competitors with the end goal of improving their competitive position and performance. The emergence of a global economy and technology along with specifically rapid technological changes are the two primary elements of hypercompetitive environments and help create to.
Global supply chains are becoming more and more interconnected, where the events occurring at one side of the world are impacting at the other side, much faster than 15 years ago.
What are the right competencies required for Supply chain professionals, to install competitive advantages in a sustainable manner?

This is a presentation about Covid-19 implications for research and researchers. This was part of a webinar on Emerging Trends in Research in field of Commerce and Management
organized by P.G. Department of Commerce Science College at Hinjilicut (Odisha).
There are some motivational elements for publishing. These elements are important for young researchers and faculty members. We should also keep in mind the quality indices such as h-index or impact factor associated with publications.
It has become imperative to conduct funded research in today's highly resource constrained landscape of higher education. We must understand the attributes of research the mindset of researcher and the requirements of funded research.
Industrial Engineering (IE) offers immense opportunities to improve Productivity, Quality and Responsiveness. Herein , some of the issues are highlighted.
There is a need to have a comprehensive look at the concept of smart village. This presentation is a part of a training programme on "IoT based smart village" conducted at ABV-IIITM.
Talent nurturing vis-a-vis student devlopment is a challenge. This challneg requires a multi-pronged focus and involvement of all the stakeholders.
Acdemic leadership need to recognise the same and work on a variety of initiatives to develop and nurture studnets.
Emerging manufacturing systems will be smart, sustainability and responsive to customer needs. Industry 4.0 offers an interesting platform. It is an integrative and all embracing architecture.
Research & pedagogy In digital environment : Imperatives & Implications Sanjeev Deshmukh
The digital environments calls for a number of innovative measures to sustain and enhance research. Social media and use of alt-metrics can enhance visibility of research.
This is an updated version of my earlier presentation on current research. It talks about teh digital environment and how to be visible in this digitalized world as a researcher.
Research in current scenario -sgd-adamf-20-apr-2018Sanjeev Deshmukh
Current research is driven by huge developments due to internet and digital disruptions. Democratization of education has opened up new vistas for doing research. It is essential to remain visible.
Lot of preparation is required for a typical young faculty while pursuing his/her career. He is constantly challenged and he/she has to excel in various dimensions such as teaching, research, extension/outreach, administration and professional recognition.
This is about the challenges faced by teacher in the scenario of onslaught by digital environment. One needs to tackle it by being sensitive to the needs of the hour and also by properly embracing the technology.
This is on how to do literature review based on some experience in good journals. Literature review is an important phase in any research and must be given due importance .
This presents an overview about relevance and significance of statistics as a valid tool in enhancing quality of research. It also touches upon some misuse and abuse of statistics.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Agility – the ability to quickly and cost-effectively shift
amounts and/or types of production and delivery to
improve operational performance in volatile conditions
Collaboration – the ability to work across organizational
boundaries to solve systemic operational problems and
create new value for both customers and partners
Execution – the consistent and reliable delivery against
commitments and within budgeted expenses

Miles Trevor Blog 13 Dec 2012
22. Why talk about competitiveness?
Traditional thinking: competition is driven by the 4P’s
Today: supply chain capabilities determine competitiveness!
Wal-Mart versus K-Mart
Compaq/HP versus Dell
A final product is not the sole goal
Customer experience is determined by supply chain: quality, cost, delivery
Significant proportion of value sourced from suppliers!
Supply chains are connected systems enabled by IT
Competitiveness of one tier is a function of the supply and distribution functions,
i.e. surrounding tiers.
“Value Chains compete, not individual companies!”
(Christopher 1992)
23. Creating a competitive supply
chain

Develop strategic objectives and tactics, decide
competitive priorities
2.
Integrate and coordinate various activities in the
internal supply chain through IT
3.
Coordinate activities with suppliers with customers in a
collaborative manner
4.

chain in a digital environment
5.
Form strategic partnerships
25. Velocity
Inventory velocity
The
rate at which inventory(material) goes
through the supply chain
Information velocity
The
rate at which information is
communicated in a supply chain
27. Challenges
Barriers to integration of organizations

30. Perspectives on competitiveness
Competitiveness is a concept comprising of the potential, the
process and the performance.
GMR (2001)
To be competitive, several factors must exist: the desire to win,
commitment or perseverance and the availability of certain
resources.
Khalil (2000)
Competitiveness is defined in terms of ‘helping business to win’,
‘price’, product range and quality and ‘distribution and marketing’.
Dou and
Hardwick(1998)
Competitiveness arises or results from firm-specific initiatives like:
better management, leveraging and stretching of resources.
Hamel and Prahlad
Ability to design, produce and /or market products or services
superior to those offered by competitors, considering the price
and non-price qualities.
Cruz and
Rugman(1992)
Competitiveness is synonymous with productivity and is assumed
To capture quality feature as well as efficiency feature.
Porter (1990)
Competitiveness is the ability to raise income as rapidly as
competitors and to make investments necessary to keep up with
Them in the future.
Scott (1989)
Extent to which a business sector offers potential for growth and
attractive return on investment
WCR(1994)
(1993)
31. Competitiveness..
Extent to which a business sector satisfies the needs of
customers from the appropriate combination of the
following product/service characteristics: price, quality,
innovation , and satisfies the needs of its constituents;
for example, workers in terms of involvement, benefit
programmes, training, and safe workplace; offers
attractive return on investment and also offers the
potential for profitable growth.
Company competitiveness is defined as "the ability to
design, produce and/or market products superior to
those offered by competitors, considering the price and
non-price qualities" (WCR, 1991).
