Unfavourable weather has an impact on sales of consumer goods. It is now possible to insure manufacturers and retailers against this risk. To do this, we identify the climate variables that have the greatest influence on sales. Next, the financial risk associated with changes in these variables is assessed. Finally, it is possible to hedge this risk using financial instruments or insurance policies. These techniques are valid for all products whose sales vary greatly depending on the weather such as clothing, sun products, ice cream, etc.

Is humility a facilitator in sharing knowledge? Investigating the role of humble knowledge inquiry a

Despite many efforts taken by organisations to facilitate knowledge sharing among individuals, but the effectiveness of knowledge sharing depends on how the individuals actually seek and provide that knowledge. In many instances, employees face challenges that need frequent interactions with knowledge sharing that raise the questions: how do knowledge seekers approach or communicate with providers, and what are the best means to share knowledge? Beyond the many variables in the current literature that are important in seeking knowledge, we propose and investigate the construct of humility in knowledge sharing.

Is there more to sustainability than shopping wisely?

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.

Managing the client portfolio for long-term survival

Our goal was to understand the effectiveness of a company in attracting its customer targets. To do this, we have developed a model that links a company’s marketing activities to the mix of customers who buy from the company. Most marketing models simply ask how a company’s marketing activities influence the number of customers who buy the brand. We wondered how a company’s marketing activities influence the types of customers who buy the brand.

What should non-profit organizations do? We suggest 2 alternatives.
