The impact of the prevailing organizational culture on the adoption of green marketing in chemical-industry companies in three Arab states in west Asia
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the prevailing organizational culture on the adoption of green marketing in chemical-industry companies in three countries: Syria, Kuwait and Jordan. The research used a survey methodology. A questionnaire was designed and administered simultaneously in the three countries using three different samples consisting of 220 respondents, 12 respondents, and 132 respondents, respectively. The questionnaires collected from the three samples were coded and analyzed. The study concluded that the organizational culture in the samples from the three countries has positive attitudes towards the adoption of green marketing. The Kuwaiti sample has the highest level of positive attitudes in comparison with the other two samples. The task-oriented culture is the dominant prevailing organizational culture in the chemical-industry companies located in Syria and Jordan, but a fulfillment-oriented culture is the dominant prevailing organizational culture in chemical-industry companies located in Kuwait. Our analysis shows that the impact of the prevailing organizational culture differs in accordance with differences in employee education level, country, and years of experience.Organizational culture; Chemical industrial companies; Green marketing; Culture
You are what you eat: Application of Metabolomics Approaches to Advance Nutrition Research
A healthy condition is defined by complex human metabolic pathways that only function
properly when fully satisfied by nutritional inputs. Poor nutritional intakes are associated with a
number of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
In recent years, nutrition science has undergone an extraordinary transformation driven
by the development of innovative software and analytical platforms. However, the complexity and
variety of the chemical components present in different food types, and the diversity of interactions
in the biochemical networks and biological systems, makes nutrition research a complicated field.
Metabolomics science is an “-omic”, joining proteomics, transcriptomics, and genomics in affording a
global understanding of biological systems. In this review, we present the main metabolomics approaches,
and highlight the applications and the potential for metabolomics approaches in advancing
nutritional food research
