The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of customer relationship management on customer loyalty (CL) at Jordan Telecommunication Company through business process management. The researcher uses the descriptive analytical method to scan members’ opinions. The random sample includes (367) workers from different sectors all over the country. The results show that customer relation management (CRM) has a dramatic impact on customer loyalty and business process management (BPM). Besides, BPM plays a vital role between CRM and CL. This study appears to be the first study in Jordan which empirically examines the indirect relationship between customer relation management and customer loyalty via business process management.

This research aims to fill the research gap with empirical evidence that exists about the impact of blockchain and smart inventory systems on supply chain performance in the retail industry in the UAE. The proposed model is uniquely researched as no prior research explores the link between supply chain performances, blockchain, and smart inventory in prestigious academic journals. A quantitative technique with convenient cluster sampling is used. A descriptive, exploratory, causal and analytical design was applied—a sample size of 303 respondents was used for data analysis through regression and hypothesis with ANOVA. The findings revealed a significant positive impact of blockchain and smart inventory systems on SC performance. Limited construct-based research can be focused on more industries and constructs for future studies. There are numerous chances for businesses to leverage blockchain technology to their advantage over the competition, giving them the chance to strengthen their market position. Managers must carefully consider the qualities of their goods, services, and supply chains to ascertain whether they require or would sufficiently benefit from blockchain.

This paper investigates the effect of artificial intelligence (product information, recommendation, and social media exposure) and payment flexibility on the operational performance of ecommerce retailers. The study is based on Transactional Cost Analysis, Material Flow, and Technology Integration theories. It considered a sample size of 270 members out of the population of 769 employees from five ecommerce companies operating in the region (Namshi.com, Noon, Joly Chic, Extra, and Styli). The analysis involved constructing a structural equation model to examine the trickle-down effect of the variables included in the study. The study concluded that artificial intelligence and payment flexibility are the core reasons that the retailers in the region are registering operational success in the retail market.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of operational flexibility between the quality of health information technology and management capability. A cross-sectional study was conducted; data was obtained based on 365 medical staff (medical doctors, nurses, and medical technologists) from public hospitals in the northern region of Jordan; a covenant sample was used. The authors used structural equation modeling to verify the hypotheses. The results reveal that the quality of health information technology has a significant impact on management capability and operational flexibility. Operational flexibility as a partial mediating variable also showed a significant impact on management capability. The study suggests that increasing the quality of health information technology will enhance the management capability and operational flexibility in healthcare organizations and will increase employee loyalty as a vehicle to trigger positive work-related attitudes. This study is one of the very limited studies in the Middle East that examined the role of operational flexibility in the quality of health information technology and employee management capability.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and financial reporting quality in Saudi Arabia's manufacturing sector. The data is collected through the database of Thomson Reuters from 30 manufacturing companies of Saudi Arabia over the period 2014-2020. Descriptive statistics and the generalized least square (GLS) model were applied. The dependent variable was calculated through residuals and was found as discretionary accruals (DA). The findings reveal that there was a positive influence of corporate governance on CSR performance and financial reporting quality. It was found that sample size was one of the biggest limitations because only data from 2014 to 2020 were collected and to make the study more reliable and authentic, larger data is required.

Fresh produce which are part of agricultural products that can survive during the pandemic in Indonesia, there is even an increase in supply, this contribution is important for the availability of these products in maintaining consumption needs in maintaining public health levels in the midst of an unfavourable situation for all parties, including sustainability of business in this chain network. However, the development of this commodity still has many obstacles, especially in the ability to provide high-quality products, resource capabilities and manage existing information, especially the farmers who are involved in cooperation in this supply chain system, so that it can impact their performance. This study explores the mediating effect of collaborative performance systems (CPS) in lateral collaboration structures such as; information sharing (ISH), resource sharing (RSH), contract farming (CTF) and join mode transportation (JTM) in individual companies (CIP) and supply chain performance (SPO) in the fresh produce supply chain (FPSC). The sample in this study was taken based on purposive sampling from the participation of respondents in the FPSC network consisting of farmers producing fresh vegetables and fruits who are members of the Association of the Farmers Groups (Gapoktan), distributors, owners of transportation modes and supermarkets. Respondents consisted of 72 people who had filled out complete questionnaires from their four supply chain channel partners. Data collection methods were analyzed using a structural equation approach. The results of the study that the mediation of CPS on the performance of CIP and SPO in the FPSC was confirmed.

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) on operational performance as moderate of firm size and percentage of exported products. Based on the feedback of 313 manufacturing enterprises in four sectors (electronics, agriculture, food, textiles) operating in Vietnam, this study found some important findings. Firstly, GSCM has a positive and significant influence on the operational performance of businesses in Vietnam. Secondly, the resulting effect of implementing GSCM is better for enterprises with large scale and high export rates. This has reaffirmed the need to improve the overall supply chain management and green supply chain of this group of businesses. Overall, the findings suggest that improving GSCM practices is important not only for businesses in developed countries but also for businesses in emerging economic regions such as Vietnam.

The objective of the article is to evaluate the influence of green supply chain management on firm performance through a mediate variable which is competitive advantage and moderate variable which is supply chain integration. Research was conducted on 313 Vietnamese enterprises and the data analyzed by Smart PLS software shows that green supply chain management has a positive impact on firm performance. At the same time, competitive advantage and supply chain integration both have a statistically significant mediating and moderating role. The research results are meaningful for managers to come up with green supply chain integration policies and strategies to improve competitive advantage and firm performance.

Supply chain management and integration have become more important business topics mainly addressed within the different businesses industries in order to influence the organizational performance. The current research study aims to investigate this effect by involving some key of supply chain partners on organizational performance. Also, the moderation role of trust as an influential aspect in the business was also studied in this work. To conduct this research and meet the stated research objective, a quantitative research method was used to collect data from food products manufacturers in Jordan due to the main contribution of this sector to the national economy of Jordan. PLS-SEM approach was selected in the phase of analysis and the findings revealed a significant effect of all hypothesized research assumptions and a significant moderating effect of trust on the relationship between supply chain partners’ integration and organizational performance. The research findings also provided expected implications and supported the relevant evidence and literature in this area, as well it would contribute to cover the existing research knowledge gaps by integrating a new model including sets of new variables that have not been examined together within a single conceptual framework.

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of supply chain 4.0 technologies (e.g., big data and Internet-of-things) of the strategic outcomes of supply chain 4.0. The required data was collected via a questionnaire from a sample consisting of 211 employees from construction companies in Jordan. The results point out that big data and the Internet of things have significant impacts on the strategic outcomes of supply chain 4.0. Hence, it was concluded that supply chain technologies are pivotal drivers of supply chain strategic outcomes. Based on these results companies are called to adopt and integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into their supply chains to improve supply chain long-run performance. Scholars were also encouraged to investigate the impact of supply chain 4.0 technologies on other constructs such as supply chain resilience.
