Innovative Supplier Selection: Key Success Factors
Due to the emergence of globalization and shrinking distances, companies don’t mind going to new unexplored locations in search of suitable suppliers. However, the suitability of suppliers can be measured in terms of its technical competence and innovativeness. The aim of this paper is to find out the necessary parameters to check the innovativeness of suppliers. This paper looks at how the authors analyzed existing literature on supplier selection based on their innovativeness
Construction of a Massive ABJM Theory Without Higgs Superfields
A massive Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) model in
superspace is analysed by considering a Proca type mass term into the most
general Faddeev-Popov action in a covariant gauge. The presence of mass term
breaks the original BRST and anti-BRST invariance of the model. Further, the
symmetry of the massive ABJM model is restored by extending the BRST and
anti-BRST transformations. We show that the supergauge dependence of generating
functional for connected diagrams occurs in presence of mass and
ghost-anti-ghost condensates in the theory.Comment: 9 pages, no figur
Ward and Nielsen Identities for ABJM Theory in Superspace
The structures and the associated gauge algebra of ABJM theory in superspace are reviewed. We derive the Ward identities of the theory in
the class of Lorentz-type gauges at quantum level to justify the
renormalizability of the model. We compute the Nielsen identities for the
two-point functions of the theory with the help of enlarged BRST
transformation. The identities are derived in ABJM theory to ensure the gauge
independence of the physical poles of the Green's functions.Comment: 10 pages, accepted for publication in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
