In this study we provide an overview of ecosystem indices of successfully smartphone manufacturing countries like China, USA, Taiwan, and South Korea by comparing some key parameters with that of peer average. The main purpose of this research is to compare various key manufacturing statistical parameters of other countries with that of India. It also brings out the current state of manufacturing in India, the market potential and the institutional frameworks developed to create an ecosystem conducive for manufacturing to grow. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis is performed across all countries and analyzed for working out the SWOT matrix in Indian context to help formulating the strategy.

A world-class maintenance system (WMS) refers to the best practices in maintenance that are followed and adopted by various organizations to transform themselves to be a 'world-class manufacturer'. One of the important factors in developing a 'world-class' maintenance system within an organization is the adoption of a sound framework that provides the necessary conceptual and theoretical details of best practices to be followed, to reach the world-class status. Several authors, consultants and large organizations have proposed different frameworks representing the best practices in maintenance, which seem to have been developed and derived primarily from the context and experience of such large organizations and consultants respectively. A comparative study revealed that most of the frameworks are unique and proposes several unique best practices in maintenance. Hence, in this paper, an attempt has been made to identify such best practices from the existing frameworks and integrate these practices to develop and propose a new framework for world-class maintenance systems.

AbstractElection commissions that serve the partisan interests of the authorities are key to the manipulation of election processes in OSCE participating states and beyond. Despite the importance of impartial election administration, OSCE/ODIHR, in its reviews of election laws or in its reports of election observation missions, has so far declined to put forward a comprehensive view on what constitutes best practices regarding the composition and functioning of election commissions. Drawing from a comparative study of the manipulation of rules for the composition and functioning of election commissions, this article develops insights, and formulates recommendations, that could inform a more assertive ODIHR approach to the issue of partisan election commissions..

The term ‘world-class maintenance (WCMt)’ is being used frequently nowadays and refers to the collection of best practices in maintenance. Different researchers and consultants have proposed several frameworks of WCMt representing these best practices. If an organization or a maintenance manager wants to implement a framework, it may not be easy for him or her to identify a single framework from a variety of frameworks that are reported in the literature. Thus the task of choosing a particular framework has become a major issue for the managers. Hence in this paper, an attempt has been made to perform an analysis for comparing different WCMt frameworks based on their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). In addition to this, a comparative study of WCMt with other maintenance systems has been carried out to understand the similarities and differences. The SWOT analysis of frameworks revealed a list of best practices in maintenance to be considered by an organization, when it attempts to achieve a world-class status in maintenance apart from the weaknesses and threats associated with each framework. Such an analysis can prove valuable as a decision aid for the operations or maintenance manager while making a decision of choosing a suitable framework of WCMt.

The E.U. market for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing significantly, but the absence of widely adopted protocols and interoperability standards for charging hinders the development of cross-border EV travel (“e-roaming”). In this paper, we present our vision on what should be the basic functionalities of e-roaming. Furthermore, we describe the best practices of 6 years of e-roaming in the Netherlands, and analyze what can be learned from other sectors that were successful in introducing roaming mechanisms in the past. We translate these into proposed next steps, such as the need for piloting e-roaming on a European level using open standards, such as Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI). We conclude with a proposal for a comparative study of protocols to pave the way for future convergence, and, thus, facilitate a European market for EV products and services.
