1、Compensation for losses of non-market values experienced by aboriginal peoples, due to adverse impacts on their land or resource base caused by others, is an important issue for law and social justice. Yet the standard methods of economic valuation as a basis for determining compensation are not alw
2、ays suited to addressing the diverse values of aboriginal people. This paper discusses an approach to valuation that employs concepts and methods of decision analysis, informed by behavioral decision research, in an applied context. It uses a multi-attribute value assessment as a basis for character

The system embeds a multi-criteria decision model and machine learning methods, and is designed to evaluate a partners supply capability that can change over time and to maximize revenue with different procurement

12、for designing and monitoring ecosystem-based fisheries management policy experimentsOriginal Research ArticleEcological EconomicsWhile research on vertical relationships has demonstrated that suppliers capabilities can be developed via partnerships, we lack studies that relate the development of suc
13、h capabilities to the management of business relationship portfolios. This paper partially fills this research gap by investigating how small to medium subcontractors (SMSs) align their customer relationship portfolios with their design and marketing capabilities. Applying one-way ANOVA to a sample
14、of 62 subcontractors located in the mechanical industrial district of Pordenone (North East Italy), we show that the development of marketing and design capabilities affects subcontractors business relationship portfolios. Our study suggests that SMSs strategically manage their customer relationship
15、s, moving from traditional subcontracting to a more articulated portfolio characterized by a stronger presence of partnership and market relationships. Marketing and design capabilities shape SMSs autonomy and strategic options in choosing the appropriate combinations of different relationship types

19、s sustainability by providing timely and useful information to decision-makers. Without testing hypotheses about the links between policies and outcomes, however, indicator systems may do little more than promote ad hoc policies, possibly even prolonging the transition to sustainable fisheries. The
20、Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework is a robust framework that has been used extensively to design policy experiments and empirically test theories and models linking ecologicaleconomic systems, institutions and the sustainability of common pool resource systems. A modified IAD fr
21、amework is developed that transparently encompasses both process-oriented pressure-state-response (PSR) and structurally oriented sustainable livelihood indicator frameworks, thus providing a platform for ecosystem-based fisheries management policy experiment design and monitoring. An institutional
22、approach to fisheries management facilitates critical examination of important cross-cutting issues, including assumptions regarding what comprises sustainability and how market, government and civil society organizations use strategic investments in capital assets and institutions to achieve sustai
23、nability objectives. The emphasis on capital assets keeps attention on the relative merits of alternative investment options in policy experiments.Article Outline1. Introduction2.

Concluding remarksAcknowledgementsReferencesFaster, better, cheaper: A study of NPD project efficiency and performance tradeoffsOriginal Research ArticleJournal of Operations ManagementIn this paper, we develop a theory of efficiency and performance tradeoffs for new product development (
28、NPD) projects. Data from 137 completed NPD projects are analyzed for evidence pointing to tradeoffs in performance patterns manifested in the data. In addition, we investigate hypothesized relationships between certain NPD practices and a holistic, efficiency based measure of NPD performance. We dem
29、onstrate a new approach to the operationalization of holistic new product development (NPD) project performance, employing a sequential data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology that simultaneously incorporates multiple factors including new product development cost, product cost, product quality,
30、 and project lead time. The results of the data analysis support our hypothesis that tradeoffs among NPD performance outcomes are manifested more strongly in highly efficient projects when compared to inefficient projects. The presence of three distinct subgroups in highly efficient projects is sugg
31、estive of several modes of efficiency which appear to achieve equally effective market success. The absence of such patterns in less efficient projects supports a theory of performance frontiers that may impose the need for tradeoffs more strongly as NPD projects achieve higher levels of efficiency.
32、 The findings also point to the importance of project management experience, balanced management commitment, and cross-functional integration in achieving high levels of NPD project efficiency. We discuss the implications of the findings for practice and for future research.Article Outline1. Introdu

This paper explores the interaction of these policy goals in two regions where a rural development form of multifunc

Farmers entrepreneurial skills are used as an organising framework, and relate farm development to both farm and farmer-specific factors as well as to their institutional, cultural, social and economic contexts. The study of entrepreneurial skills is related to how multifuncti

The framework highlights dynamic and highly contingent responses and brings the roles, identities and the framing of farmers into focus, offering a means by which farmer advice and suppo
