This research work was born from a common problem in most textile manufacturing companies, which is the non-fulfillment of orders. A Peruvian textile manufacturing company dedicated to the production of baby clothes was taken as a case study. In this case study, an in-depth diagnosis will be carried out to identify the causes that lead to the company's inability to fulfill orders on the defined dates. Once the causes have been identified, we will proceed to evaluate the methodologies to be implemented to increase the order fulfillment indicator. The most relevant indicators to know if the objective for which the research was carried out was met are order fulfillment, which the current KPI was 71.31% and with the improvement turned out to be 81.32%; machine availability, which the initial diagnosis was 81.5% and the final diagnosis was 89.28%; efficiency in the ironing area, which started with 87.88% and ended with 92%; and finally the percentage of a defective product, which started with 10% in the stamping area and 12% in the cleaning area and ended with 5% in both areas.

This study is a case study that aims to explore the current situation, issues, and strategies faced by leaders and managers of a regular high school in Linyi City, Shandong Province, China, about security management. This study uses qualitative method, with semi-structured interviews conducted with three faculty members and managers of a high school in Linyi City. This study reveals that safety management in this school focuses on safety education and has set up monitoring systems, alarm systems, etc., and conduct safety drills from time to time. And regular feedback is given through summary meetings and other forms. There are still issues such as inadequate staffing, lack of cooperation between teachers and students, and lack of home-school contact and monitoring systems. As a result, various measures such as increasing security guards, setting up online monitoring platforms, and enhancing security knowledge education have been proposed. The findings of this study have implications for enhancing the level of security management in schools. In future studies, the sample should be expanded and the level of security management in elementary schools and universities should also be assessed.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives based on charity and philanthropy have not alleviated many sustainable environmental issues, particularly in industrial towns. The collaborative governance strategy is seen to be an option for resolving difficulties of coordination and communication between businesses, the government, and the community so that the goals of urban environmental management can be met via collaborative efforts. The purpose of this research is to identify the different forms of environmental CSR implementation by corporate entities and to create a CSR collaborative governance model in environmental management. This qualitative investigation was carried out in 2020 in Cilegon City, one of Indonesia’s industrial cities. To investigate their support, a total of 20 informants from three stakeholder groups, namely the government, corporate entities, and the community, were questioned. According to the study’s findings, CSR implementation in the environmental sector covers cleaner production, eco-office, energy and natural resource conservation, waste management, renewable energy, climate change adaptation, and environmental education. CSR implementation in the environmental potential to implement collaborative governance. Business entities have an essential role in establishing the starting condition, while the government provides facilitative leadership and the CSR forum launches institutional design. These three elements are critical to the effectiveness of collaborative governance in environmental management in industrial cities.

Industrial development usually has an inherent environmental impact due to the unsustainable practice adopted to support this growth. Furniture industry is an example of this trend since its growth is sustained by the exploitation of the forest from where the timber is extracted. High density polyethylene (HDPE) has been selected as a suitable alternative for wood because of its physical properties, economic benefits and environmental friendly characteristics. The reports will illustrate how furniture industry creates environmental pressure, aspects that will be affected by adopting the new sustainable philosophy, cost saving opportunities and example of best practices currently implemented. HDPE based furniture are made from the same material used in containers for milk, shampoo, oil and other products, which makes it highly recyclable. Furthermore, at the end of their working life the product can also be recycle, making them totally eco-friendly and economically profitable. Moreover, these products offer excellent resistance and longevity characteristics that closely resemble and exceed the ones found in real wood. Finally this sustainable practice has already been successfully implemented by many companies around the world for several years.

In the 21st century, my country's economy is developing rapidly, and the logistics industry is also gradually emerging. With the development of e-commerce and the popularization of online shopping, the ‘last mile’ problem, as the end distribution of the logistics service chain, is a social problem closely related to people. It directly affects the efficiency of logistics, the cost of logistics, and the quality of logistics services. There are also many problems in last-mile delivery, such as high delivery costs, low efficiency, and high pollution, which will affect customers' evaluation of the quality of delivery services. Therefore, it is necessary to study the factors that affect the quality of distribution services, so as to provide suggestions for logistics companies and improve the distribution services. This article summarizes and studies the influencing factors of the last-mile delivery service quality by reviewing relevant literature and combining with the Service Quality Scale (SERVQAUL) framework.

Comparing companies solely based on tax incentives for R&D activities can be misleading. Hence, this research aims to assess how Portuguese companies that make use of tax incentives for R&D activities on an ongoing basis behave in terms of promoting and appropriating value through innovation. From an initial population of 3,156 companies, a final database with 339 Portuguese companies that made use of fiscal credits from 2013 to 2016 was analyzed. The tax incentive program targeted was the Fiscal Incentive System supporting R&D in Enterprises (SIFIDE). Using the analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), the main results suggest that, considering the internal resources, there are no statistically significant differences between the promotion and appropriation of value through innovation according to the size and age of companies. The data indicate that good management regarding the generation and implementation of innovations may occur independently of size and age of firms, in the Portuguese case. Albeit the averages of the indicators of value appropriation of the intangible (e.g. patents, trademarks, and new processes), and the efficiencies of assets and liabilities for the promotion of the intangible are different according to the level of technological intensity. These results point to the need to reevaluate the tax incentives for R&D activities, since its generic nature may not meet the different innovation needs arising from the distinctive characteristics of these enterprises and their technological dynamics. Implications and future research directions are provided.
