“…Maged et al (2012) discussed the environmental risk associated with the ceramic industry. Masum and Johora (2012) evaluated the performance and financial stability of Bangladeshi ceramic industry, and Jahan (2010) discussed the competitive environment of the ceramic sector of Bangladesh. The extant literature reveals that there is no work on identifying and analyzing various supply chain risks in the context of the ceramic industry in Bangladesh.…”

“…A study done by the Bangladesh Tariff Commission (BTC) identified that Bangladesh has shortage of raw materials for ceramic goods and the manufacturers are 100 per cent dependent on raw materials import from overseas. Moreover, the close market competitors like China and India have their own raw materials (Jahan, 2010). For this, Bangladesh has to face a fierce competition with the neighboring countries in maintaining lead-time.…”

“…Bangladesh needs to import 100 per cent raw materials that are accounted for 35-40 per cent of the total production cost of the ceramic products for producing ceramic wares. Besides, Bangladesh also needs to import the machineries and equipment for the ceramic industry, which gives the supplier more control in bargaining the price (Jahan, 2010). This research also supports the fact.…”

Purpose Risk management has emerged as a critical issue in operating a supply chain effectively in the presence of uncertainties that result from unexpected variations. Assessing and managing supply chain risks are receiving significant attention from practitioners and academics. At present, the ceramic industry in Bangladesh is growing. Thus, managers in the industry need to properly assess supply chain risks for mitigation purposes. This study aims to identify and analyze various supply chain risks occurring in a ceramic factory in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach A model is proposed based on a fuzzy technique for order preference using similarity to an ideal solution (fuzzy-TOPSIS) for evaluating supply chain risks. For this, 20 supply chain risk factors were identified through an extensive literature review and while consulting with experts from the ceramic factories. Fuzzy-TOPSIS contributed to the analysis and assessment of those risks. Findings The results of this research indicate that among the identified 20 supply chain risks, lack of operational quality, lack of material quality and damage to inventory were the major risks for the ceramic sector in Bangladesh. Research limitations/implications The impact of supply chain risks was not shown in this study and the risks were considered independent. Therefore, research can be continued to address these two factors. Practical implications The outcome of this research is expected to assist industrial managers and practitioners in the ceramic sector in taking proactive action to minimize supply chain risks. A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the relative stability of the risks. Originality/value This study uses survey data to analyze and evaluate the major supply chain risks related to the ceramic sector. An original methodology is provided for identifying and evaluating the major supply chain risks in the ceramic sector of Bangladesh.

“…The country was massively disturbed and famished, and armed gangs engaged in robberies and in large-scale smuggling across the border to India. There were even armed attacks on police stations at a rate that reached ‘alarming proportions’ (Jahan, 2005, p. 119). The government called in the army on several occasions to quell smuggling and mayhem, but efforts were often frustrated because the criminals had political protection (Ahmed, 2014; Jahan, 2005, p. 169; Mascarenhas, 1986; Tripathy, 2014, p. 229).…”

The Osman Dynasty: The Making and Unmaking of a Political Family

The Osman Dynasty in Bangladesh is several generations deep and combines legitimate mobilization politics with money-making businesses and ‘godfather’ tactics. This article focuses on two aspects of dynasty formation: its relationship to the wider political context and the issue of dynastic succession. The brittle nature of the national sovereignty in a traumatized postcolonial and post-war society of 1970s and 1980s constituted an environment in which local powerfuls could establish themselves through a combination of legitimate political activism and muscle politics. And yet there were rivals and challenges and succession was not assured. The reasons for the dynasty now seemingly unable to able to pass the torch to a fourth generation, underscore the changed circumstances. This article will thus argue that local dynasty formation constitutes a historically specific phenomenon.
