“…At least, female managers can capture market messages so that they can maintain better business performance. There are several steps to maintain competitive advantage, namely 1) conducting audits to identify value-adding rather than value-added processes, 2) designing and implementing improvements to value-adding processes, 3) measuring process performance, and 4) measuring sustainability improvements (Diana et al, 2015). The better the competitive advantage, the better the business performance (Davcik and Sharma, 2016;Ejrami et al, 2016;Wahyuni and Ng, 2012).…”

The problem of the catering business is that tastes tend to be less tasty, mistakes in choosing non-quality cooking ingredients, and employees (chefs) tend not to be painstaking, so it is interesting to research by investigating the relationship of intellectual capital with the innovative behavior of women managers and impacting on business performance through competitive advantage. From 25 catering businesses headed by women managers, we set managers and employees (cooks) as 75 respondents (purposive sampling) with data analysis using WarpPLS 7.0. We found that the better the intellectual capital, the better the innovative behavior of female managers, and the better the catering business performance in Makassar City. We found that the better the intellectual capital, the better female managers' innovative behavior, and the better the catering business performance in Makassar City. We also find that behavior innovation is getting better so that this business has a competitive advantage and good business performance.

“…The industrial policy is dependent on marketing competition by using comparative and competitive advantages based on internal resources, experience, tradition of labour, exploitation capabilities of resources etc. (Diana et al, 2015;KPMG Nigeria, 2019;APEC, 2017;Deloitte, 2017). As demand from growing nations rise, foreign companies buy minerals into domestic markets.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore operation influencing factors of mining. To collect gaps of study and to form a thematic representation of principal influencing factors and their unique influencing factors. Design/methodology/approach Articles were collected from different sources from 1974 to 2019 consisting of research articles, technical papers, expert blogs, working papers and conference papers covering various disciplines from psychology, human resource, finance and economics to mining engineering. Mining operation influencing factors were noted down. Four massively deposed mines were visited to observe the sequence of mining process. The field experts were also consulted to identify factors influencing their respected industry. Gaps were observed while comparing with the reviewed articles and opinions of field experts. Finally, senior experts were consulted to identify unique factors from the final list prepared and a framework of seven thematic categories consisting of unique factors was formulated. Findings A total of 197 sub-factors were collected from literature review and 2 sub-factors from Indian Mining experts during field study. These 199 sub-factors were initially categorised as 48 factors and one more factor was collected from Indian field experts. Finally, these 49 factors were thematically represented as principal factors and termed as operation, marketing and management, human resource, finance, resource and utility, corporate affairs and corporate social responsibility and environment. Research limitations/implications This study can be very helpful in the direction of different qualitative and quantitative studies, as the factors and sub-factors groups are identified. Originality/value The paper fulfils an identified need to provide a holistic review for understanding and documenting principal factors, unique factors and sub-factors those influence mining operation, profitability or sustainability issues of mines.

“…The last area of criteria determining the development of an underground hard coal mine is the economic conditions (IV), which affect the price attractiveness and efficiency of hard coal extraction from a given mine [86][87][88]. The first indicator in this group is the relation of price of one tonne to the cost of extraction of one tonne (17).…”

The functioning and development of the extractive industry depends on many unusual conditions that are not found in other industries, such as the size of deposits, the level of natural and technical hazards, geographic location, or the method of mineral extraction (open pit or underground). Therefore, it is difficult to use universal development assessment methods for such specific production units. As a result, the research undertaken in this article aims to develop an indicator method for evaluating the development potential of underground hard coal mines. This method is based on a theoretical and practical analysis of the conditions of functioning of hard coal mines, expert research, and multiple case studies verifying the operation of the presented development indicator. The first part of the article is devoted to identifying and analyzing the criteria for assessing the functioning of underground hard coal mines. Next, the essence and methodology of creating and interpreting the proposed indicator was presented. The second part of the article is empirical, and contains the results of the assessment carried out using the developed indicators for five Polish hard coal mines for the years 2011-2015. The results of the research indicate that the most important factors in the development of hard coal mines relate to the geological and mining conditions, and those concerning natural hazard levels. However, during the functioning, the financial conditions and related production conditions, which ultimately determine the survival and development of underground mining plants, gain in significance.
