A Decision Model for E-commerce-enabled Partial Market Exit

Struggling retail chains often try to recover profitability by closing some of their stores. The challenge in this strategy lies in determining how many stores to close, as store exit has implications for both the customers and the supply chain. After a store closes, its customers are lost forever to the competition, unless there is a surviving open store nearby or an electronic alternative such as an e-store. From the supply chain perspective, after a store closes, its supporting regional distribution center is left with less business, and thus reduced viability. This paper develops a decision support model to study the profitability of alternative retail network structures by varying the proportion of stores that are closed, the average price sensitivity of demand, the price difference between the online store and the traditional retailers, and customer retention rates

Convergence Hypothesis: Some Dynamics and Explanations of Agricultural Growth across Indian States

In the recent years there has been considerable emphasis on understanding the regional dimensions of economic growth in India within the convergence implications of neoclassical growth paradigm. The study has tested the convergence hypothesis in per capita agricultural output and foodgrains productivity across the major 15 states of India. During 1971-2007, Indian states have exhibited sigma divergence in per capita agricultural output. The study on relationship between initial foodgrain output and growth rates has shown a divergence pattern rather than convergence during 1971-1988, and we could observe a weak convergence during 1988-2007.Beta convergence, Sigma convergence, Agricultural development, Agricultural and Food Policy, Q1, Q10, Q18,

Evaluation of Spatial Variability of Soil and Leaf Tissue Nutrient Status and Yield (Fresh Fruit Bunch) in an Oil Palm Plantation

The study was carried out at Dusun Durian Estate, Golden Hope Plantations Berhad Banting, Selangor, in a 50 ha plot which represents a coastal oil palm plantation. The general objective of this study was to obtain accurate and timely information about the spatial distribution and status of nutrients in the soil and leaf tissue using Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing technology for precision farming of oil palm plantation. Collection of soil and leaf tissue data were conducted by using systematic sampling and an Omni Star DGPS was used to precisely determine the sample sites location. Geostatistics (GS+) software and classical statistics were used for data analysis. A SPOT image of K-J.299344 acquired on March 2000 from the Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES) was analysed using a PCI software version 7.0. Descriptive statistical analysis classed the status of total N as low, whereas available P and exchangeable K varied from moderate to high. Soil exchangeable Ca and Mg ranged from low to moderate. Soil nutrients variability of available P, exchangeable K, Ca and Mg status were classified as high and moderate for total N. Semivariance analysis showed that th
