The study aims to investigate the moderating role of Organizational Readiness (OR) in the relationship between Supply Chain Agility (SCA) and Blockchain Adoption Intention (BAI) among these SMEs, drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. The study adopts a positivist approach and a cross-sectional design to explore how organizational readiness moderates blockchain adoption in Saudi SMEs. It uses a quantitative methodology, surveying decision-makers from SMEs engaged in supply chain activities to gather data. Data analysis is performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study's findings indicate that Operational Supply Chain Transparency (OSCT) impacts Supply Chain Alignment (SCL), Supply Chain Adaptability (SCD), SCA, and BAI. Moreover, there is a positive influence of SCL on SCD and SCA. SCA also significantly influences BAI. Furthermore, the moderation analysis shows that OR significantly affects the SCA-BAI relationship, indicating that higher OR amplifies the positive impact of supply chain agility on blockchain adoption intention, underscoring the critical roles of supply chain factors and OR in blockchain adoption among SMEs. Based on the RBV theory, the study delves into how constructs like SCL, OSCT, SCD, and SCA are influenced by blockchain technology. It assesses the extent to which these factors would impact the propensity of SMEs to implement blockchain yet explores the moderating influence of OR on this dynamic.

Business incubators contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, innovation, and regional economy. However, in developing countries, implementation faces challenges and obstacles that threaten the success and sustainability of their operations. This research examines the influence of incubator resources, service capabilities, and government support on the success of business incubators. We conducted a national survey and used structural equation modelling analysis to test hypotheses on a sample representing seventy-six percent of the business incubator population in Indonesia, one of the developing countries in Asia. Empirical evidence shows that most incubators in Indonesia are non-profit, university-based, and technology business incubators. The incubator's resources and government support impact its service capabilities. However, the incubator's resources and government support do not directly impact its success. The novelty is that service capability acts as a full mediating variable on the influence of government support and incubator resources on the success of business incubators. The final section outlines managerial implications and future research directions.

This research aims to investigate the factors that affect the performance of national resilience, which are suspected to be related to the elements of territorial entrepreneurship leadership, knowledge sharing, territorial development, and national defense intentions. The sample consisted of 278 inmates in the context of national resilience. Primary data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to the sampled respondents. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique with the help of the Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) software. The results of the data analysis indicate that the Territorial Entrepreneurial Leadership Strategy implemented thus far does not have a significant impact on the Territorial Development Strategy, State Defense Intentions, and National Resilience Performance. However, on the other hand, the Knowledge Sharing Strategy contributes significantly to enhancing the Territorial Development Strategy and National Resilience Performance. Similarly, it has been observed that the National Defense Intention plays a crucial role in improving National Resilience Performance. It can be concluded that the development of territorial communities needs to consider various strategies and factors, including leadership strategy, knowledge exchange, and national defense awareness, in order to achieve regional development goals and enhance national resilience comprehensively. Collaboration among local leaders, communities, and other stakeholders is key to designing and implementing effective programs in this context.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face challenges in business growth and often face bankruptcy due to various factors, such as declining consumer demand for their products and the rapid advancement of digital marketing technologies. This shift in consumer behavior towards digital platforms has particularly affected MSMEs in Medan City, leading to prolonged closures. To address this issue, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of content marketing and influencer marketing strategies, along with the role of banking guarantees, in mitigating bankruptcy risks for MSMEs in the region. Using data analysis via SmartPLS software, the findings reveal that while content marketing alone doesn't show a direct positive impact, it significantly contributes to banking guarantees. Additionally, influencer marketing plays a significant role in enhancing banking guarantees and mitigating bankruptcy risks. Moreover, banking guarantees serve as a crucial intervening variable, amplifying the impact of both content and influencer marketing strategies in overcoming bankruptcy challenges for MSMEs.

The objective of the current study is to explore how certain attributes of chief executive officers (CEOs), such as their innovativeness, knowledge of information systems (IS), and trust in technology and technological factors (Compatibility, relative advantage, and complexity) on the utilization of accounting information systems (AIS) in companies across various industries in Jordan. The research gathered data through a structured questionnaire, which included a 7-point scale. The respondents were CEO/owner of small, medium, and large enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. A total of 315 valid responses were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings indicated a significant and positive correlation between complexity, compatibility, CEOs trust in technologies, CEOs information system (IS) knowledge, and the utilization of AIS. However, CEO innovativeness and relative advantage have an insignificant impact on AIS use. The present study is the first to examine CEO characteristics in the AIS context. The practical and theoretical implications derived from the empirical findings of this study offer valuable insights for managers and practitioners. These insights aim to enhance their understanding of the fundamental factors crucial for the successful implementation of AIS in companies, ultimately contributing to improved firm performance.

This study endeavors to explore the influence of amenities, accessibility, and attractions on tourists' inclination to revisit a destination area. Additionally, it aims to delve into the role of safety, comfort, and uniqueness as factors enhancing the relationship between amenities, accessibility, and attractions in fostering intention to revisit. This research holds significant promise in addressing pertinent issues within the tourism landscape of Indonesia, particularly within the captivating realm of Aceh Province. The data collection method employed a questionnaire technique, wherein questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 150 tourists through the online platform Google Form. The data analysis utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis, employing Partial Least Squares (PLS) statistical software techniques. The findings from the data analysis indicate that amenities, accessibility, and attractions are key factors in shaping perceptions of safety and comfort. Interestingly, while amenities and accessibility do not seem to affect perceived uniqueness, attractions were found to have a notable influence in this regard. Moreover, the analysis revealed that accessibility directly impacts revisit intention. It is surprising, however, that perceived safety and comfort do not mediate the effects of facilities, accessibility, and attractions on revisit intention. Similarly, perceived uniqueness does not appear to mediate this relationship either. Research underscores the importance of amenities, accessibility, and attractions in shaping perceptions of safety and comfort. While amenities and accessibility may not impact perceptions of uniqueness, it is evident that attractions significantly influence this aspect. Overall, the research underscores the importance of amenities, accessibility, and attractions in shaping perceptions, with attractions notably influencing uniqueness perception.

This research endeavors to ascertain the extent to which a knowledge-centered culture fosters the propensity for knowledge sharing within private universities. Furthermore, it seeks to discern the specific facets of the Big Five Personality Traits model that wield a moderating influence on the intricate nexus between knowledge-centered culture and the inclination to share knowledge. The methodology entailed the judicious application of stratified proportionate random sampling to solicit data, with academic staff from private universities constituting the respondent pool. The acquisition of research data transpired through the administration of a self-conducted questionnaire. The outcomes of this investigation unveil a positive correlation between a knowledge-centered culture and the propensity for knowledge sharing—a pivotal finding with far-reaching implications. Moreover, the findings illuminate that individuals exhibiting higher levels of extraversion and conscientiousness play a constructive moderating role in the interplay between knowledge-centered culture and knowledge-sharing behavior. Conversely, those with elevated scores in openness tend to exert a counterproductive moderating influence on this relationship. Intriguingly, the research also establishes that personality traits like agreeableness and neuroticism do not wield significant influence, as they fail to confer any notable moderating effect within the context of the correlation between knowledge-centered culture and knowledge-sharing behavior. The implications of this study are manifold and extend to the realm of academic leadership, offering a nuanced framework to devise policies and strategies that bolster knowledge sharing among academicians by fostering a nurturing knowledge culture. The findings also hold salience for upper echelons of private sector universities, especially within developing nations, and for policymakers seeking to sculpt and enact efficacious policies conducive to augmenting knowledge-sharing behavior. This, in turn, is anticipated to catalyze heightened work performance and operational efficiency.

Food supply chain collaboration (FSCC) is a prevalent business strategy in developed countries. Despite the widespread adoption, there is still limited literature on FSCC in developing countries, including Indonesia. Therefore, the study aimed to analyze the factors of information sharing, relationship quality, and corporate shared value on supply chain collaboration and their effect on improving the competitiveness of rice main food products in Indonesia. The conceptual framework was developed from the Relational View theory as the basis for supply chain collaboration, which could prove beneficial in increasing the competitiveness of food products. The data were collected from three rice supply chain actors, namely farmers, rice milling units, and retailers, which were analyzed using partial least squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that information sharing was the variable with the greatest effect on supply chain collaboration, followed by corporate shared value and relationship quality. Information sharing carried out by supply chain actors was due to dependence, trust, and commitment to relationships. Collaboration and information sharing among actors showed the potential to positively improve the competitiveness of rice main food products. These results provided valuable insights for food supply chain actors, emphasizing the importance of collaboration by considering economic, social, and environmental aspects.
