In recent years, there has been an increase consensus that the firms’ social responsibility plays an essential role for the success of the firms. To address the need to be socially and environmentally responsible, this paper considers a firm, which makes a production decision under the carbon emission cap and trade system. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of the firm’s flexible operational strategy, called a reactive capacity production strategy, on the firm’s managerial efficiency under the carbon cap and trade system. The reactive capacity production strategy has been widely used for agile response on the market. The study shows that the firm with reactive capacity production strategy under the carbon cap and trade market may choose the first production quantity less than the firm without reactive capacity and provide more profit than the firm without reactive capacity. Also, the study analytically provides the optimal solution for the expected amount of carbon emission traded on the carbon trading market and the expected total amount of carbon emission by the firm with reactive capacity under the carbon cap and trade market.

Knowledge sharing plays an important role in management of universities. Vietnam universities are not highly regarded for their teaching quality and scientific research. It is therefore necessary to promote knowledge sharing through two central processes: knowledge donation and collection as well as individual performance of lecturers. Based on a sample size survey of 312 university lecturers in Vietnam and the methods of analyzing exploration factor (EFA), factor analysis (CFA), structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the hypotheses of the survey, the study determines that two individual factors; namely job satisfaction and other involvement significantly influenced knowledge donation process. One individual factor also positively influences knowledge collection process, knowledge self-efficacy, and lecturers’ willingness to donate knowledge to improve individual performance. Finally, several suggestions for enhancing the knowledge sharing and individual performance of lecturers for university managers are given.

Ethics plays an essential role for the success of all business units. These days, it is not sufficient to boost the performance of supply chain companies just by focusing on financial figures but we need to consider the ethical dimensions, particularly at an organizational level. It is evident from the prior investigations that the performance of the supply chain industry in most of the Arab countries has not gained reasonable growth. Most of the Arab countries are facing issues for development good supply chain management in various departments. Bahrain maintains a low performance in the supply chain compared with other Arab countries such as Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. The logistics index of Bahrain has been decreasing in recent years. Therefore, to address this problem, the objective of this study is to examine the role of workplace ethics in supply chain management among supply chain companies of Bahrain. The study considers three dimensions of ethics, namely; organization culture ethics, leadership ethics, and training ethics. Employees on the managerial positions are selected as the respondents. These respondents are selected from the supply chain companies of Bahrain. Questionnaires are distributed among these employees to collect the data. By using the structural equation modeling, data are analyzed through PLS. The results conclude that workplace ethics has significant contribution in supply chain management. Better implementation of workplace ethics always contributes positively on supply chain management.

Corporate governance has emerged as a sine-qua of corporate success. The stakeholder theory of corporate governance consists of various factors, other than the economy and finance and considers corporate governance as an important determinant of the supply chain performance and the supplier relationship. Following the stakeholder theory, the current study studies the impact of the corporate governance, and supplier diversification network on the firm supply performance. In addition, the current study investigates the moderating role of supplier diversification in the relationship between three corporate governance characteristics; namely board size, board independence, and board competency and firm supply performance. The study is carried out on a sample of the industrial firm in Indonesia. To achieve the research objectives PLS-SEM technique is employed. The findings of the study provide a great deal of agreement with the proposed hypotheses. The findings of the current study are helpful for the policymakers, researchers and practitioner in examining and understanding the link between corporate governance, supplier network and firm supply performance.

During the past few years, there has been a declining trend on the performance of Indonesian supply chain companies. The performance of the Indonesian supply chain companies is relatively low compared with other countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.

A survey was conducted to collect the necessary data from the managerial staff of supply chain companies in Indonesia. PLS-SEM was implemented to analyze the data. The results indicate that CAS had a significant positive relationship with supply chain accuracy. Computerized accounting system supports supply chain operations, which increases the accuracy of the supply chain system. Computerized accounting system also provides the ease of use and usefulness, which enhances the supply chain activities and decreases various issues. Therefore, the computerized accounting system is the key to gain accuracy in the supply chain.
