As a result, the global economy may suffer as well. Supply chain management is one way to reduce the prices of these products.

Originating Sources of Complexity
Complexity is born under the wing of the social sciences, promoting the transposition of some contents of biology and natural sciences to the social sciences and behavior of humans. The sources of complexity are diverse and often divergent some coming from immaterial and subjective sources, such as those of the human mind, which implies appreciating behaviors and individual behaviors, for example, of men and women, and of groups that affect the global system, to which other sources that derive from the rise and fall of technologies that are expected to generate progress and social development.

Green Innovation in State-Owned Enterprises
Green innovation is an advancement in environmental sustainability that has a positive impact on both economic development and the environment. For this reason, governments and societies put growing attention to green innovation. Green innovation has a positive impact on enterprises; however, there is no consensus for what concern the efficiency of green innovation in state-owned enterprises. The latter is relevant because of the predominant position of state-owned enterprises in high-polluting and energy industries, and their connection with governments and their policies.

Targeted Reserve Requirement Ratio Reduction
In China’s bank-centered financial and economic environment, bank risk attitudes have an important impact on the effective implementation of structural monetary policy, and monetary policy can have an impact on the corporate ecosystem through risk taking by banks. To make an economic assessment of the evolution of the banking ecosystem and empirically explore the correlation between targeted Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) cuts and banks’ risk-taking levels in the context of financial supply-side structural reforms, multiple regression analysis and a fixed-effects model are used to analyze the causal impact of targeted RRR reduction on the risk taking of Chinese commercial banks.

Determinants of Sustainable Profitability of the Insurance Industry
Risk is a natural satellite of everyday reality, whether business or private life. Although insurance professionals are highly competent in understanding the entire world of risks, both individuals and households (in some cases even governments) that use insurance services are important stakeholders in this game. Firm size, level of specialization, GDP, population, and political stability are positively related to profitability, whereas risk-exposures, HHI (in ME specification), and inflation tend to detract from financial performance.

Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) messages about product sustainability have gotten the attention of scholars, who have shown that information related to sustainability significantly influences consumers’ intention to purchase products. eWOM is a positive or negative statement about a product available to society and institutions or the company that makes the product by someone who has used it.

Dual-Channel Supply Chain Coordination with Service Free Riding
Service free riding is a kind of strategic behavior that customers conduct to maximize their purchasing utilities. However, such behavior will make the retailer feel unjust because the manufacturer’s online channel takes away her would-be orders, which may further intensify channel competition and eventually lead to negative impacts on the overall supply chain performance. It is important to investigate how to coordinate a dual-channel supply chain composed of a manufacturer and a retailer when customers utilize the retailer’s service to conduct free-riding behavior.

Inventory Information Approval System
The Inventory Information Approval System, or IIAS, is a point-of-sale technology used by retailers that accept FSA debit cards, which are issued for use with medical flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health reimbursement accounts (HRAs), and some health savings accounts (HSAs) in the United States. By the end of 2007, all grocery stores, discount stores, and online pharmacies that accept FSA debit cards must have an IIAS; by the end of 2008, most pharmacies have an IIAS as well. The predecessor to the current IIAS was developed by the online retailer drugstore.com for its "FSA store" in 2005; it was first introduced to brick-and-mortar retailing by Walgreens in 2006. Wal-Mart became the first discounter with an IIAS in late 2006.
