Hidemichi Fujii, Satoshi Washio, Akihiko Shinozaki, Impact of business management and data utilization on process innovation in the Japanese wholesale industry, SN Business & Economics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s43546-023-00554-w, 3, 179, 2023.08, 少子高齢化に伴う人口減少が見込まれる日本経済は、今後も労働力人口の縮小による供給制約が経済成長へのマイナス要因になるとの認識が一段と強まっています。こうした状況の中で豊かな暮らしを達成するためには、業務効率化が必要不可欠です。卸売業を含めた流通業における経営力向上の規定要因に着目した既存研究では、卸売業において取り扱う商品特性の違いが必ずしも明示的には区分されておらず、卸売業の詳細な部門特性に焦点を当てた研究は行われてきませんでした。しかしながら、卸売業においては取り扱う商品が異なれば、事業の利益率や棚卸資産回転期間、在庫保管コストや賞味期限の有無など、業務内容に大きく影響する事業特性も異なることが考えられます。こうした中で、事業特性の違いを明示的に考慮した研究を行うことは、より説得力を持った科学的エビデンスを構築する上で必要不可欠な分析枠組みであると考えます。　九州大学大学院経済学研究院の藤井秀道教授、篠﨑彰彦教授、鷲尾哲学術共同研究者（（株）情報通信総合研究所主任研究員）らの研究グループは、内閣府経済社会総合研究所が全国12,277事業所を対象に実施した「組織マネジメントに関する調査（平成30年度）」のアンケート結果から、卸売業で回答が得られた2,954事業所の個票データを用いて、業務管理とデータ利活用の取り組みがプロセスイノベーション行動（業務効率化）にどのように影響しているかを実証分析し、卸売業の業務効率化に貢献する取り組みを部門別に明らかにしました。特に事業特性の違いを明示的に考慮するために、日本標準産業分類の中分類区分を参考に繊維・衣料品卸売業、飲食料品卸売業、建築材料卸売業、機械器具卸売業に分けて分析を実施しています。部門別の分析結果からは、業務効率化に影響を与える要因は部門毎に大きく異なっていることが明らかとなりました。.

Ibn-Mohammed, T., Mustapha, K.B., Godsell, J., Adamu, Z., Babatunde, K.A., Akintade, D.D., Acquaye, A., Fujii, H., Ndiaye, M.M., Yamoah, F.A., Koh, L, A critical analysis of the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and ecosystems and opportunities for circular economy strategies, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2020.105169, 164, 105169, 2021.01, [URL], The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on the 11th of March 2020, but the world is still reeling from its aftermath. Originating from China, cases quickly spread across the globe, prompting the implementation of stringent measures by world governments in efforts to isolate cases and limit the transmission rate of the virus. These measures have however shattered the core sustaining pillars of the modern world economies as global trade and cooperation succumbed to nationalist focus and competition for scarce supplies. Against this backdrop, this paper presents a critical review of the catalogue of negative and positive impacts of the pandemic and proffers perspectives on how it can be leveraged to steer towards a better, more resilient low-carbon economy. The paper diagnosed the danger of relying on pandemic-driven benefits to achieving sustainable development goals and emphasizes a need for a decisive, fundamental structural change to the dynamics of how we live. It argues for a rethink of the present global economic growth model, shaped by a linear economy system and sustained by profiteering and energy-gulping manufacturing processes, in favour of a more sustainable model recalibrated on circular economy (CE) framework. Building on evidence in support of CE as a vehicle for balancing the complex equation of accomplishing profit with minimal environmental harms, the paper outlines concrete sector-specific recommendations on CE-related solutions as a catalyst for the global economic growth and development in a resilient post-COVID-19 world..

Andrew John Chapman, Hidemichi Fujii, Shunsuke Managi, Multinational life satisfaction, perceived inequality and energy affordability, Nature Sustainability, 10.1038/s41893-019-0303-5, 2, 6, 508-514, 2019.06, We analyse subjective experiences of energy poverty to address the limitations of existing observable indicators as evidence for policy. We investigate the linkage between self-reported energy affordability and life satisfaction, health and economic inequality. A large-scale survey of 100,956 respondents across 37 nations shows that energy affordability concerns individuals in both developing and developed nations. Self-reported (perceived) values do not necessarily follow previous research and vary according to regional, economic, development and cultural factors. Contrasting this evidence with national-level data, such as healthy life expectancy and government spending on health and welfare, we identify associations between self-reported outcomes, income levels and national policy. Although national welfare spending can reduce the perceived economic gap, high income is not necessarily associated with better perceived satisfaction, health or economic outcomes. Enhancing energy access may lead to improved health outcomes in the most marginalized nations; however, lifestyle and cultural factors also play a role. Although the outcomes of less-developed nations can likely improve through development aid from more-developed nations, our results show that cultural and other factors underpin satisfaction in developing nations, which experience comparatively poorer life satisfaction. We identified that some nations had superior outcomes for health and life satisfaction despite lower income levels. This highlights the need for further research to uncover non-income-based factors that underlie life satisfaction and health, such as community connectedness or familial factors..

New Evidence from 14 countries Considering the Transition to Renewable Energy System., Energies, 10.3390/en12091786, 12, 9, 2019.05, By focusing on a distributed energy system that has been widely diffused for efficient utilization of renewable energy generation in recent years, this paper investigates the relationship between productivity growth and information and communications technology capital in the energy sector. Information and communications technology is a key factor in operating distributed energy systems in a way that balances energy supply and demand in order to minimize energy loss and to enhance capacity utilization. The objective of this study is to clarify the determining factors that affect productivity growth, focusing on three different information and communications technologies: information technology capital, communication technology capital and software capital. Our estimation sample covers energy sectors in 14 countries from 2000 to 2014. The results show that information technology and software capital contribute to increasing material productivity and capital productivity in the energy sector, respectively. Meanwhile, communication technology capital negatively affects these two productivity indicators..
