There was consensus from stakeholder groups which included fishers, fishery managers, and fishery scientists that the current stock condition is not biologically sustainable. It is found that fishing effort control and technical measures are preferred to catch control by both groups. The role of mass media and the traditional institution in communicating fisheries issues are found to be relatively minor. Although the overall rating on the comprehensiveness of the proposed plan is promising, there are significant differences between the two groups with regard to legislative arrangements (χ<sup>2</sup> = 24.793, p-value = 0.000), management goals (χ<sup>2</sup> = 16.206, p-value = 0.001), operational objectives (χ<sup>2</sup> = 19.884, p-value = 0.000), performance indicators (χ<sup>2</sup> = 15.524, p-value = 0.001), and measures (χ<sup>2</sup> = 13.483, p-value = 0.004). Policy implications of the key findings are discussed in both national and regional contexts. Management authorities can use these findings to design an appropriate plan of actions for achieving sustainability in this fishery.展开更多

Research provided comprehensive literature to the Corporate Social Responsibility （hereafter called ＂CSR＂） issue in Green Mini Bus industry. After comparing different CSR models, the stakeholder view approach is selected for the research in order to evaluate the performance of the operator. The CSR performance of the operator could not satisfy the stakeholders. The effort made by the operator itself could not solve all problems. The government plays a determinant role of CSR performance in Green Mini Bus industry. Recommendations would be made for problem solving and future development for the company. Academic and managerial implications are provided in the study.展开更多
