“…Limiting carbon dioxide emissions and reducing fossil fuel reserves will be achieved by gradually replacing conventional energy sources with renewable energy technologies. The paradigm shift is becoming evident: the future of energy supply systems will be dominated by nonconventional energy sources [4], for instance, Smart Grid-enabling technologies and applications that "will provide, in long term, economic benefits for authorities" [5] or "cloud-based environments" such as energy clouds, which offer more flexibility and autonomy to users [6]. An efficient dissemination program is needed besides R&D on energy sources [7].…”

The European Union’s energy policy confronts the intricate challenge of achieving energy independence through integration and transition, necessitating a careful calibration of its implementation scale. Recognizing that the heightened energy dependence represents a threat to the economic convergence and cohesion of the member states, the authors adopted a comprehensive approach to scrutinizing the energy landscape. The study examines the orientation toward renewable energy sources, encompassing their utilization in both transportation and household electricity supply. Leveraging a combination of statistical and econometric methodologies, the researchers analyzed the EU’s energy composition, evaluating its far-reaching impact on both micro- and macroeconomic dimensions. Beginning with the central endogenous variable of the study, dependence on imports, the research extends to the assessment of gross available energy. Through rigorous examination, the authors underscored the pivotal role of renewable fuels in final energy consumption and demonstrated the influence of green energy sources on household consumption. This investigation, complemented by the section of the ARIMA model for electricity price modeling, not only elucidated the dilemma but also presented renewable energy sources as a viable solution to curtail the European Union’s dependence on energy imports, even in their current underutilized state.

The consumption of milk and derivatives is part of the diet of a large part of the population. The substantial demand for dairy products has prompted the industry to expand its product range by incorporating whey, a previously disregarded by-product, as a significant ingredient. Consequently, the application of whey within the dairy sector has escalated, fostering novel food trends driven by market, nutritional, technical, environmental, and economic considerations. In this context, the primary objective of this research was to identify, categorise, and analyse the competitive factors influencing the production and use of whey within the dairy products industry and to correlate these factors with Brazil’s economic, food, and nutritional landscape. A comprehensive literature review encompassing 41 articles and scientific documents sourced from PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO databases and supplementary research was undertaken to pinpoint these factors. A total of seventeen competitive factors that exert influence over the production and use of whey within the dairy industry were identified. These seventeen factors were systematically classified and modelled into a hierarchical decision tree structure. A meticulous analysis of these factors revealed a spectrum of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with this sector, considering the Brazilian nutritional, food, and economic context. This research will help elaborate healthy strategies for developing new products with whey in the composition and maintaining the nutritional quality for the consumer. In addition, the research can help companies manage their operations, which can be directed towards improving their performance in the factors discussed in this research, with reflections and impacts on competitiveness in nutritional, environmental, economic, technological, and organisational dimensions.

“…To continue with the proposed approach, it is necessary to highlight the Critical Success Factors (CSF), which serve as indicators for different levels of organization (Schaefer et al, 2022). The definition of this model permeates Rockart's seminal article (1978), which suggests tools to identify information necessary for the success of activities, that is, favorable results that will ensure the success of the competitive performance of individuals, departments or organizations.…”

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar quais são os Fatores Críticos de Sucesso (FCS) que permeiam as práticas de gestão e determinam sustentabilidade empresarial, contribuindo para o alcance dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Metodologia: A pesquisa tem como características: abordagem qualitativa, objetivo exploratório e delineamentos descritivo e explicativo. A amostragem da pesquisa foi do tipo intencional e envolveu análise bibliográfica e documental. Resultados: Os 51 documentos selecionados apontam que há uma predileção pelas dimensões ambiental e econômica, ainda que o pilar social esteja ganhando espaço como fator estratégico de sustentabilidade. Considerações finais: Ao comparar os resultados com os ODS, verificou-se que tópicos fundamentais para a manutenção das condições de vida na Terra e para a prosperidade humana não foram contemplados nos Fatores Críticos de Sucesso em Sustentabilidade (FCSS) com índice de repetição alto. Defende-se que os ODS sejam importantes caminhos para a implementação de ações sustentáveis nas empresas e, por conseguinte, como FCSS.
