Abstract

Management processes in an organization involve decision-making based on many criteria (MCDM), and in this process ranking of variables plays a vital role. This paper presents the analysis of key business issues of an Indian automotive organization using an efficient interpretive ranking (eIRP) approach. This paper integrates the Situation-Actor-Process (SAP) and Learning-Action-Performance (LAP) framework of the organization with eIRP. It evaluates the ranking of actions to be carried out in an organization with respect to performance parameters. The study highlights the area where the organization should focus on achieving desired business excellence. From the analysis, it is revealed that the top-ranked suggested action for the organization is the adoption of energy policy as a core business policy followed by technology management, maintenance management, and the use of information technology for cost management. This case study is one of the few that uses the SAP-LAP framework for ranking the actors and actions of the organization using the eIRP approach, to make MCDM an easy task.

Abstract

Sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) has emerged as an alternative to sugarcane. It is mainly utilized for sugar extraction and has significant industrial value with great nutritional impact. Different kinds of biotic and abiotic stresses are considered to be major barriers for sugar beet cultivation. As per the current scenario, every year sugar beet production suffers huge yield losses due to various stresses. The conventional breeding technique is a time-consuming lengthy procedure which can be replaced by a genetic transformation technique to bring new transgenic traits within a short period of time. Sugar beet has proven to be excellent sample material for in vitro culture of haploid plants, protoplast culture, somaclonal variation, and single cell culture, among others. Agrobacterium mediated and PEG-mediated transformations are the most effective genomic transformations in the case of sugar beet. Development of new traits in terms of fungus/virus, pest/nematode tolerance, herbicide and salt tolerance are the most frequently expected traits in the current scenario of sugar beet production. Potential transgenic plants are viable alternatives to traditional expression systems for end product (protein) development with more accuracy. So, transgenic production through genome editing/base editing is presently considered to be one of the best tools for sugar beet tolerant traits development. Food safety and environmental impacts are two major concerns of genetic transformation in sugar beet and need to be appropriately screened for public health acceptability.
