What is Valuation?

Share

Conceptualized by John Dewey in the 1930s, valuation can be defined as a social practice whereby actors reflexively reframe the inherited unsatisfactory values. Values are not considered as abstract properties, predetermined benefits, private preferences or undebatable statements, but as observable facts, practices and judgements, that everyone can see in our attitudes, relations and gestures. Valuation is thus a process where ends and means always interact, and where “ends-in-themselves”, transform into provisional “ends-in-view”. Finally, valuation implies an ethical and political dimension as the pragmatists only embrace values that enable emancipation, and help democratic processes flourish.

La chaîne globale de valeur, cela veut dire « l’organisation transfrontalière des activités nécessaires pour produire des biens ou des services et les amener aux consommateurs par le biais d’intrants et de diverses phases de développement, de production et de livraison ». Si l’émergence des chaînes globale de valeur a dessiné de nouvelles opportunités économiques pour les pays en voie de développement, leur absence de régulation a également conduit à des violations des droits des travailleurs. Pour répondre aux enjeux de régulation des chaînes globales de valeur, une diversité d’instruments a été développée au cours des dernières décennies. Chacun de ces mécanismes est à lui seul trop faible pour assurer une protection suffisante des droits des travailleurs.

With improving environmental consciousness and the growing demand for valuable resources, waste recycling has become an important concern. This work studies the profit of recyclers and platforms with a degree of trust-building in the reverse logistics system considering the following scenarios: online recycling platform builds trust or not under centralized and decentralized models. The results show that trust-building can effectively make more revenue for the system of the online recycling platform with enhanced demand if the cost of the trust-building construction is relatively low. The revenue-sharing contract is more profitable than the cost-sharing contract but fails to achieve optimization in the integrated setting. We find a new decision support tool for optimal strategies under different decision-making models.
