This paper identifies the mediating role of innovation and moderating role of size of enterprise on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). For the purpose of this study, the necessary data is collected from 384 MSE's operating in Punjab province, Pakistan. Initially the data are analyzed using SPSS 22 and then, for the development of structure equation modeling, Smart PLS-3 is used. Two aspects of entrepreneurial orientations; namely risk taking and pro-activeness are analyzed and innovation is considered as mediat-ing variable. The major contribution of the study is to identify any moderating effect of size of the enterprise on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, innovation and performance of MSEs. These elements basically show the contribution that is made by the innovation and performance of the MSE's. The results reveal that the size of enterprises moderated the relationship between risk taking and performance, pro-activeness and performance as well as innovation and performance.

The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of transactional leadership on supply chain quality management and performance in tourism and travel enterprises in Vietnam. The analysis results were conducted on 298 typical tourism and travel enterprises in Vietnam in 2019. The testing results of the hypotheses show that transactional leadership had a positive impact on supply chain quality management and performance. At the same time, supply chain quality management did not play any full mediate role in the relationship between transactional leadership and performance. However, the qualification level had a statistically significant moderate role in the relationship between transactional leadership and performance. With the more highly qualified leaders, the more transactional leadership is applied, the higher the business performance for tourism and travel enterprises in Vietnam.

Supply chain is the most important factor in increasing competitiveness since the biggest cost of a product is in the supply chain. PT. EJI is a printing and merchandising Services Company that has several suppliers and almost all processes are inseparable from the supply chain system. Supply chain problems at PT EJI are in the production process, delivering orders, PO In and PO Out. Repairing the supply chain can be accomplished through the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) Method. This study recommends improving supply chain based on the results of performance measurement with the SCOR method which consists of 4 performance criteria, namely: 1) Reliability Criterion: Perfect Order Fulfillment (POF); 2) Responsiveness Criterion: Order Fulfillment Cycle Time (OFCT); 3) Cost Criterion: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS); 4) Assets Criterion: Cash to Cash Cycle Time (CTCCT). The results of the performance measurement show that the delivery process was 80.0, which is the lowest compared with other metrics, namely Make 99.0 and Source 95.0. Supply Chain improvement recommendations are shipping improvements (delivery) through the separation of shipping routes for shipping Online and Offline, checking the quality of invoice documents to avoid incomplete documents, making SOPs for shipping, and providing dietary at the time of delivery to avoid mismatching goods.

In recent years, E-Commerce has experienced a very significant increase. E-commerce provides a broad overview of technology, processes and practices that can be carried out without using paper as a means of transactions. E-commerce can be a solution to the paper waste problem which is an environmental issue that can lead to social problems. Thus, e-commerce has a vital role in achieving business sustainability performance. E-commerce has had a big influence on the social and economic growth of today's society. Business management's ability to manage financial information is an important indicator in influencing Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises’ (MSME's) business performance. Good managements’ financial literacy equips MSMEs with knowledge and skill empowering MSMEs to make informed financial decisions, manage resources effectively and promote sustainable development. This research aims to analyze the relationship between E-Commerce and the sustainability performance of MSMEs and analyze the relationship between financial literacy and its positive and significant relationship with the sustainability performance of MSMEs. The research method uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The population in this research are MSMEs managers in Indonesia who have comprehensive knowledge regarding the operations and performance of MSMEs. In this study, researchers used a simple random sampling technique with a sample size of 478 MSME managers. Data analysis in this research uses the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique which is an alternative method based on the variance of the variables used. The stages of data analysis are validity testing, reliability testing and hypothesis testing. The independent variables in this research are e-commerce and financial literacy, while the dependent variable is MSME sustainability performance. The results of this research show that e-commerce has a positive and significant relationship with MSME sustainability performance and financial literacy has a positive and significant relationship to MSME sustainability performance. In addition, e-commerce has a significant influence on the sustainability performance of MSMEs because the presence of e-commerce is one of the marketing alternatives used to reach more vendors and customers which can change the supply chain leads to social problem solution such as food distribution. Further, e-commerce may minimize traveling long distances for shopping resulting to the carbon footprint reduction. MSMEs have the same opportunity to use e-commerce as an alternative to maximize performance. However, not all MSMEs have the capability to use and utilize e-commerce optimally. After all, knowing good financial management will make it easier to make sustainable decisions since the higher the level of financial literacy, the MSME players can optimize their sustainability performance.

The aim of this paper is to provide a practical approach by using an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach to prioritize the most critical success factors that influence the supply chain output in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The analysis of MICMAC was also considered for the identification of factors having a high power of influence. The findings show that the most significant factors with the highest driving power are associated with innovation and communication tools. Such findings can assist policy makers, administrators, and practitioners in formulating supply chain effectiveness strategies and policies.

Supply chain finance has become an interesting research topic which attracts lots of attention from scholars recently, particularly after the global financial crisis. However, only few studies have examined the causal relationship between supply chain finance and firm performance. More specially, there is a big research gap when almost none of existing research has analysed the nonlinear impact of supply chain finance on firm performance. With this aim, this paper succeeds in giving first empirical evidence on the U-shaped nonlinear relationship between supply chain finance and the performance of seafood firms in Vietnam. Specifically, a bad performance of supply chain finance (the increase in cash conversion cycle - CCC) causes a lower firm performance (FP). Nevertheless, if any decrease in firm performance reaches its minimum (CCC*), the restructuring of the firm will gradually improve it. In addition, firm performance is significantly influenced by controlled variables of firm-specific, firm size (SIZE) and capital structure (CAP), and macroeconomic, economic growth (EG), factors. The findings are valuable for the management as well as scholars in bringing a more comprehensive perspective on the causal relationship between supply chain finance and firm performance.

This paper investigates the impact of financial leverage and supply chain finance on firm performance of Vietnamese construction sector. Although there is a big gap in the literature needed to be filled, little empirical evidence can be found on this interesting topic. Therefore, the results are essential for Vietnamese firms, particularly those in construction industry. By adopting the generalized method of moment (GMM), the results reveal the significant influence of financial leverage and supply chain finance on the performance of construction firms. In particular, firm performance (FP) is more influenced by financial leverage (FL) than supply chain finance (SCF). The findings also show that supply chain finance plays a key role in enhancing firm performance. Meanwhile, more debts and their inefficient use exert a negative impact on firm performance, which is an unprecedented finding of this study.
