Moral philosophy from the viewpoint of the twentieth century.
Across the globe, organizations have realized the importance of procurement performance in establishing and maintaining their competitive advantage. Suppliers development is consider as one of the aspect that can enhance organization competitive advantage which will eventually result to effective organization performance. Supplier development may be composed of such activities from a buying firm as goal setting, supplier evaluation, performance measurement, supplier training and other related ones. Supplier development contributes to the companies in terms of creation and maintenance of appropriate suppliers, quality, technicality, cost capability and delivery with continues improvement. In Kenya, manufacturing firms continues to experience stiff competition in the market as competitors increase from both local and international enters into the industry. This has led the firms to foster supplier development and relationship mechanisms by providing technical support, financial support and training. Many manufacturing firms are faced with the problems of supplier’s inability to improve themselves. As such this study aims to investigate effect of supplier development management practices on organizational performance in manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study will determine the effect of supplier selections, technical capability, and information exchange and supplier evaluation on organizational performance in manufacturing firms in Kenya. This research problem will employ descriptive research design. The target population of this study will be 151 SMEs in food and beverage industry which operate in Nairobi and practices procurement functions. Stratified random sampling will be employed to select a sample size of 399 respondents. The study will use primary data which will be collected using questionnaire for measuring each construct and analysis will be done which will be beneficial to professionals, practitioners and academicians who have a strong interest in the supply chain field. A questionnaire will be developed for data collection purposes from procurement professionals and practitioners especially on production and supply chain area. The data that will be collected will be coded through statistical analysis using SPSS version 21 to test for content, construct, and criterion-related validity, as well as reliability analyses. Further, a structural equation model will be developed to test the relationships between the variables. In addition, regression analyses and ANOVA will be performed to analyze the effects of various relationships at the sub-construct level as well at item level. The study will investigate effect of supplier development management practices on performance of procurement function in manufacturing firms in Kenya.

The proposed article is devoted to the investigation of quantum key distribution protocols. The idiosyncrasy of this theme lies within the truth that present day strategies of key distribution, which utilize classical computing at their center, have critical downsides, in contrast to quantum key distribution. This issue concerns all sorts of calculations and frameworks for scrambling mystery data, both symmetric encryption with a private key and deviated encryption with an open key. A case is that in a communication channel ensured by quantum key distribution, it is conceivable to distinguish an interceptor between two legitimate organize substances utilizing the standards laid down in quantum material science at the starting of the final century. Standards and hypotheses such as the Heisenberg guideline, quantum trap, superposition, quantum teleportation, and the no-cloning hypothesis. The field of ponder of this theme may be a promising and quickly creating zone within the field o...
