Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide seminar needs (seminar kit) as compliments of seminar or symposium held by university including Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU). Method of this activity included launching of our main products, namely eco-print both on paper and on fabric. In this work, eco-print products on recycle papers was used as exclusive block-note covers while eco-print products on fabric were used as tote-bag materials. There were two advantages of using these products, firstly: they were made of natural ingredients without chemical synthetic materials; and secondly the products were designed specifically; one product was not similar with the others. This activity involved two partners, namely a recycle-paper producer and a tailor who make tote-bag. Result on progress of this activity was an order for seminar kit through exhibition. During the evaluation of this project it was found that Nauli Apik USU, as a seminar kit’s producer, still depends on workers whom working manually and having individual skill. In the future, management of production should be improved.

Abstract

Electronic paper (e-paper) is a major sector of Taiwan’s Optoelectronic industry. It has paid much attention on the development of flexible displays. Even though the market is booming, the future is still unclear for business development. No research has yet forecasted the future market size of the e-paper industry. In addition, proposing an appropriate forecasting model to understand the trend of this industry plays a crucial role for market players and government’s authorities in formulating correct strategies. Therefore, in this paper, the future market size of Taiwan’s e-paper industry is predicted by an effective combined grey model. Two combinations of DGM(2,1) and Verhulst model with Fourier series and Markov chain, namely FM-Verhulst and FMDGM(2,1), were presented. Based on the annual data of Taiwan’s e-paper industry, the results show that the forecasting performances of two FM-Verhulst and FMDGM(2,1) models are highly accurate compared with other grey models. Precision is 96.36% and 97.77%, respectively. However, for long-term prediction, the FMDGM(2,1) model obtains the best performance in all proposed grey models. With obtained forecasting results in Taiwan’s e-paper industry by the FMDGM(2,1) model, it can be pointed out that the future market size of Taiwan’s e-paper would slowly increase in the next few years.

Abstract

With the intensification of market competition, supply chain management is more critical for business development. Many studies have conducted literature reviews based on supply chain management research. However, less attention has been paid to the impact of the actual economic phenomena on supply chain management research. This paper investigates the dynamic impact of various inflation indicators on supply chain management studies in the context of inflation through bibliometric and econometric analysis. Specifically, this paper first conducts a bibliometric analysis of supply chain management research and determines the literature variables. Secondly, time series data on six inflation indicators are collected as economic variables to reflect trends and fluctuations of inflation. Meanwhile, the Granger causality test investigates the dynamic relationship between inflation and supply chain management research development. Finally, the impact of inflation on supply chain management literature data is quantitatively evaluated by the analyses of impulse response functions and forecast error variance decompositions. The analysis results of this paper show that the influence between inflation and academic research on supply chain management is bidirectional, and the bidirectional impact varies across inflation indicators. The conclusions of this paper can not only provide a reference for enterprises to improve their competitiveness in actual economic activities but also help researchers to grasp the key points in scientific research better and improve the competitiveness of academic research.
