This study aims to capture the impact of stakeholder-oriented corporate actions on consumer purchasing behavior, a factor directly related to business performance. I found that consumers' purchase intentions improved when they were aware of a company's social action of downsizing its Russian operations in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Machinability and machining mechanism were examined in the case where resin impregnation treatment was conducted to the Mo-Co hardening particle dispersed iron-based sintered alloy. As a result, the force required for machining decreased significantly compared with the case where resin impregnation treatment was not conducted. This effect is considered to be attributable to the embrittlement of cutting chips produced by the minimization of the cut material deformation.
