Three statistical methods approaches were employed to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients based on Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Random Effects Model (REM), and Fixed Effects Model (FEM). The findings showed that earnings and cash flows and aggregated accruals had remarkable ability to forecast future cash flows and the model of operating cash flows combined with aggregated accruals had the most effective prediction ability for companies listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange.

The main objective of the current study is to investigate the impact of supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices on the financial performance. Additionally, the study examines the mediating role of competitive advantage in the relationship between supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices and financial performance. The firm’s growth is considered to have a significant influence by managing the supply base only rather than the complete performance. The important role of supply chain management has pointed out the requirement of the firm to efficiently develop the supply chain to get the maximum result in terms of its performance and business outcome. The production procedures include many functions inside the company and the further period of the producer in the supply chain. However, it depends upon the whole supply chain to develop a procedure of easy and all possible product movement, the same case occurred to gain the desirable flexibility.

This study aims to examine the effect of supply chain information integration consisting of internal and exter-nal Information Integration on organizational performance, which consists of customer satisfaction, supply chain performance, and financial performance. The technique of collecting data is based on a questionnaire distributed to 185 small food industry owners. Methods of data analysis is based on using SEM-PLS. The results show that internal information integration affected customer satisfaction, supply chain, and financial performance. External information integration is proven to have a nonlinear effect on customer satisfaction and on the performance of the supply chain. Customer satisfaction and supply chain performance affect financial performance. Internal information integration is more dominant and plays an important role in increasing the performance of the organization.

Supply chain risks hinder the cooperation among members, negatively affecting the supply chain and enterprises’ performance. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to demonstrate the relationship between risk, supply chain performance, and business performance in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Research data were collected from 142 rice enterprises. The result demonstrates that risks occurring in the supply chain negatively influenced the performance of the rice supply chain and the performance of rice enterprises. Besides, the study shows that rice supply chain performance positively impacts on rice business performance in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

Companies seek to adopt competitive strategies that achieve sustainability standards, not only in achieving economic success but also in serving society and preserving the environment at the same time. Pharmaceutical companies and their supply chains are facing increasing pressure to preserve the environment because of the problems caused by medical waste, and it is necessary to show their role through their strategies in preserving the environment and serving society as well. This study aims to investigate the relationship between sustainable supply chain strategies and supply chain collaboration and its effect on competitive priorities. The study investigates whether Jordanian Pharmaceutical companies incorporate the sustainability strategy into supply chain strategy, and whether that may impact its competitive priorities. The study population consists of (23) Jordanian Pharmaceutical companies. A structured questionnaire is designed and distributed among top managers in the surveyed companies. A Structural Equation Modeling technique is used to analysis the data and provide the results. Analysis proves the relationship between sustainable supply chain strategies and supply chain collaboration, where companies are interested in attaining some achievements in the area of social and environmental to gain some collaborative strategies with their partners in the supply chain. The study suggests that organizations may adopt the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework to evaluate their performance in a broader perspective and extend the collaboration with suppliers and customers through information sharing along the supply chain partners.

The aim of this study was to examine the role of entrepreneurial marketing as a mediating variable in the relationship between environmental turbulence and dynamic capability with sustainable competitive advantage. This study involved 130 craft industries in Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. Application of loading factor followed by SEM-PLS developed a model showing how environmental turbulence and dynamic capability influence on entrepreneurial marketing which consequently leads to differentiation and performance improvement which are the established indicators of sustainable competitive advantage for the firms. The model was empirically validated using model fit indices and was found satisfacto-ry. The findings show that environmental turbulence did not have any significant relationship with a sustaina-ble competitive advantage. Dynamic capability had a significant relationship with a sustainable competitive advantage. Entrepreneurial Marketing mediates the relationship between environmental dynamic capabilities with sustainable competitive advantage. The analysis shows that highly dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing tends to highly sustainable competitive advantage. It indicated that dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing offer systematic model for supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to build a well-maintained environment and sustainable competitive advantage.

The enablers of Big Data Analytics (BDA) on the BDA adoption intention of consumer goods’ retailing firms were measured in this study along with innovation culture as a moderator. Based on a literature review, six BDA adoption intention enablers: financial readiness, perceived advantages, top management support, IT infrastructure, technology sophistication, and data quality were identified. The study collected data from different levels of managers in the consumer goods’ retailing sector in Jordan to test the proposed study framework. To obtain primary data, a quantitative method was used, and a survey (structured questionnaire) was conducted. SmartPLS version 3.3 was used to analyze and test the proposed study model, which included 211 respondents. Three BDA enablers, including perceived advantages, top management support, and IT infrastructure, were found to have a statistically significant effect on BDA adoption intention in their supply chain operations. Furthermore, the relationship between financial readiness and BDA adoption intention was significantly moderated by innovation culture. This research model can be used to determine the challenges and enablers to BDA adoption in supply chain operations for both developed and developing countries. Future research may replicate the model in various sectors or the same sector in different countries.

The aim of the current study is to examine the effects of competitive advantage and digital marketing on tourism business performance (BP). The indirect effect of supply chain management (SCM) is also considered by the current study. Quantitative research approach is used and data collection is made through a survey instrument. 225 responses were received and used in data analysis to examine the relationship between variables. Five direct effect hypotheses and two indirect effect hypotheses are tested in this study. Smart PLS is used to test the direct and indirect relationship. It is found that; competitive advantage has a positive effect on BP. It also has a positive effect on SCM. Furthermore, digital marketing has a positive effect on BP. Similarly, digital marketing has a positive effect on SCM. Additionally, SCM is a mediating variable between competitive advantage and BP of the tourism industry.

Adopting the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, this study aims at investigating the impact of big data (volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value) on supply chain performance through the mediating role of supply chain management (plan, source, make, deliver, and return) assuming four hypotheses. Data were collected using a questionnaire from managers of food processing companies. The results showed that big data affected supply chain management significantly and positively, which in turn affected supply chain performance significantly and positively. In addition, big data exerted a significant and positive impact on supply chain performance. Based on these links, it was found that supply chain management mediated significantly the effect of big data on supply chain performance. The study contributes to the literature showing that big data plays a pivotal role in improving supply chain performance and supply chain performance from the SCOR model perspective is critical for the relationship between these two constructs.
