Critical, engaged and change-oriented scholarship in environmental communication. Six methodological dilemmas to think with
This is the final version. Available from Taylor & Francis via the DOI in this record. While calls for critical, engaged and change-oriented scholarship in environmental communication (EC) abound, few articles discuss what this may practically entail. With this article, we aim to contribute to a discussion in EC about the methodological implications of such scholarship. Based on our combined experience in EC research and drawing from a variety of academic fields, we describe six methodological dilemmas that we encounter in our research practice and that we believe are inherent to such scholarship. These dilemmas are (1) grasping communication; (2) representing others; (3) involving people in research; (4) co-producing knowledge; (5) engaging critically; and (6) relating to conflict. This article does not offer solutions to these complex dilemmas. Rather, our dilemma descriptions are meant to help researchers think through methodological issues in critical, engaged and change-oriented EC research. The article also helps to translate the dilemmas to the reality of research projects through a set of questions, aimed to support a sensitivity to, and understanding of, the dilemmas in context.Svenska Forskningsrådet FormasVINNOV

A decision making model for vendor-buyer inventory systems
In a vendor-buyer supply chain, the buyer's economic order quantity and the vendor's optimal number of deliveries are derived either independently or collaboratively. In this paper, we establish a two-stage vendor-buyer inventory system decision model by using bi-level decision making approach. The experimental result shows that the proposed bi-level decision model can effectively handle two-stage vendor-buyer inventory problems and obtain better results than the existing methods. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
