Building on the use of digital technology in supply chain management, this paper integrates data governance service providers into the supply chain. Given the distinct nature of data governance services, the paper illustrated the learning effect curve and simulated their output function. Building on this, four different supply chain data governance models were proposed, namely, manufacturer single governance model, retailer single governance model, manufacturer and retailer independent governance model, and manufacturer and retailer collaborative governance model. Constructed the profit model for the supply chain within the relevant framework. By vertically comparing the optimal decisions and system performance across various models, the study concluded that the collaborative governance model maximizes supply chain profit and is more responsive to factors that enhance overall profitability.

There are few studies addressing the mediating effect of readiness in supply chains in developing countries. We use the theory of dynamic capabilities to investigate the impact of integration (INT) on readiness (REA) and on innovative product performance (IPP) and to examine the mediating effect of REA on INT and IPP. We conducted a survey with a sample of 213 supply chain (SC) managers of machinery and equipment for transport and lifting heavy loads in Brazil. To this end, we used structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses and PROCESS macro to confirm the indirect effect. The empirical results indicate a significant effect between INT and REA and REA and IPP. However, the indirect impact of REA was compromised. The literature review demonstrates that the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities (Sensing, Seizing and Reconfiguration) strengthen supply chain links, particularly between INT, REA and IPP. This article helps managers understand the functioning of SC routines and operations. To this end, they should develop strategies that strengthen SC ties with INT, REA and IPP to face future crises. This paper advances the findings on integration, readiness, and innovative product performance in an SC. The findings provide insightful implications for managers to improve their strategies. In doing so, we theorize how the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities support the efficiency of supply chain operations.

As a useful strategy to improve the flexibility of the system to manage uncertainty in supply and demand and to improve the sustainability of the supply chain, vendor-managed inventory (VMI) programs have attracted widespread attention in the field of supply chain management. However, a growing body of empirical literature has shown that participants’ decisions deviate significantly from the standard theoretical predictions. Under a VMI program, the supplier bears not only the production cost, but also the risk of leftover inventory. Moreover, the inequality among participants and different personalities of decision-makers in VMI programs may lead to the divergence of decision-making. To understand the supplier’s replenishment decision in view of the behavioral pattern, we propose a new inventory model for the supplier with the focus theory of choice. The proposed model conceives that the retailer evaluates each replenishment quantity based on the most salient demand for him/her instead of calculating the expected utility. By employing this inventory model, we construct a two-tier supply chain model with revenue-sharing contract and theoretically derive the optimal sharing percentage of the revenue and replenishment quantity. Results analysis gains managerial insights into the strategic selection of the retailer who faces suppliers with different personalities. Comparisons between the classic revenue-sharing contract model and the proposed model are also carried out by illustrative examples. This research provides a new perspective to analyze individual supplier’s behavior in a VMI program with revenue-sharing contracts.

Formative policy evaluation is an assessment process carried out periodically during policy implementation to ensure that the policy is running according to the expected objectives. Consistency in development planning includes continuity and harmony between short-, medium- and long-term plans. A smooth supply chain refers to the effectiveness and efficiency of the flow of goods and services from producers to consumers. The level of community welfare is measured through economic, social and health indicators. This research aims to analyze the influence of formative policy evaluation and consistency of development planning on the smooth running of the supply chain and its implications for the level of community welfare in Kebumen. This research uses quantitative methods with survey techniques involving respondents from various related sectors in Kebumen. Data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using statistical methods to test the proposed hypotheses. The research results show that formative evaluation of policies and consistency of development planning have a positive and significant influence on the smooth running of the supply chain. Apart from that, a smooth supply chain has been proven to contribute significantly to increasing the level of welfare of the people of Kebumen. These findings underline the importance of continuous formative evaluation and consistent development planning to support supply chain efficiency and improve community welfare. The implication of this research is the need for the Kebumen regional government to strengthen policy evaluation mechanisms and maintain consistency in development planning to ensure a smooth supply chain which ultimately improves community welfare.

While decent work has emerged as the central theme of the psychology of work theory and a global concept and directive for promoting social, political, and economic justice, it has garnered increasing scientific and political attention in the past two decades. However, until now, no defined measurement scale for the pharmaceutical supply chain exists. The present study aims to design and validate key performance indicators (KPIs) for 'decent work' in the pharmaceutical industry supply chain of Iran, using the Decent Work Daffi Scale (2017) as a reliable framework with five sub-scales and 15 items, tested and validated. For the validation of the Decent Work Scale, a quantitative survey study was conducted among selected pharmaceutical industry experts with a sample size of 228 individuals in the year 2023. The current study adopted an exploratory factor analysis approach using SPSS software and a confirmatory factor analysis through AMOS version 24 software. In this context, the factor structure, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were examined. The results showed that the five-factor structure outperforms the one-factor model with evidence supporting the convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of the five-factor scale. Thus, the measurement of decent work in the pharmaceutical industry of Iran comprises five sub-scales: occupational safety conditions, access to healthcare, adequate remuneration, Free time and rest, and alignment of organizational values with family and societal values. This scale can serve as a useful tool for industrial and organizational psychology research, as well as for studies on the sustainability of social supply chains.

This study aims to examine the influence of Big Data analytics, innovation & capabilities in the supply chain as well as to find the moderating effect of organisational flexibility on the performance of the supply chain (SCP) and find the effect of competitive intensity as a controlling variable on the performance of supply chain. This research aims to present a theoretical model based on the resource-based theory's relational view (RBV). The data was collected through a survey questionnaire and 25 manufacturer firms managers participate in this survey. According to the findings of this study BDA has a favourable and strong association with SCI and SCC, as well as SCP. The majority of the manufacturers' firms in this research employed BDA to speed up their standing algorithms quicker with massive data sets.

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.

The blue swimming crabs (BSC) fishing industry in Indonesia is heading towards an imbalance between demand and sustainability of its resources, a factor in supply. The mismanagement of traceability data and information in the supply chain is suspected to be one of the causes adding to the complexity of recent BSC fisheries management. This research aimed to identify BSC supply chain patterns and their issues, especially on two coastal regencies on the North Coast of the Java Sea. The research was conducted during June and December 2023 in Cirebon Regency and Rembang Regency. The study enlisted 70 participants, comprising fishermen, traders, processors, and exporters, with data acquisition facilitated through surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. Respondent selection employed purposive sampling, while snowball sampling identified pertinent informants within the supply chain. Data analysis encompassed qualitative description and Likert-type scale perception analysis. The findings show that the BSC fishing industry on the North Coast of the Java Sea operates as small-scale fisheries (SSF), with unique vessel types, gear, and socioeconomic conditions crucial for livelihoods. Fishermen prioritize sustainability by using small vessels and traditional gear despite limited education. The BSC supply chain involves stakeholders offering high-value products, yet by-product utilization potential is untapped, requiring improved coordination and innovation. Challenges include export standards, market fluctuations, and product safety, addressed through regulatory support and collaboration. Government regulations, fishermen groups, and data traceability enhance market transparency and sustainability. Therefore, collective action and innovative approaches are vital for long-term economic prosperity and environmental stewardship in the BSC supply chain.
