The study aims to explore supply chain innovation in retail trading of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in different regions of Abu Dhabi by considering the contribution of supply chain integration, supply chain orientation, and competition capability, along with the mediating role of intelligent information systems. Online questionnaires were used to collect the relevant information from managerial employees at target firms. A total of 357 responses were considered suitable for the purpose of the study. All the constructs were internally and externally estimated to be reliable and valid based on factor loading values, Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, average variance extracted, and discriminant validity. Supply chain integration, orientation, and competition capability were considered as the key contributors to supply chain innovation. However, in the case of supply chain orientation towards intelligent information systems and of intelligent information systems towards supply chain innovation, the association was weak. Intelligent information systems had a weak relationship with competition capability, supply chain integration, orientation, and innovation. The results have real-world implications for management and policymakers of retail trade SMEs in Abu Dhabi. Using the results and conclusions, upper management can shape corporate policy to improve supply chain integration, supply chain orientation, and competition capability, resulting in supply chain innovation in retail trading SMEs.

This study aims to explore the role of personal value and broaden knowledge of perceive value and performance in business-to-business markets. A sample of 189 distributors was surveyed to test the theoretical model. The study focuses on paint and coating industries. Data was analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The hypothesized relationship that personal value drives information sharing, logistic performance, information support, and product quality, which is based on existing literature in channel behavior and relationship marketing, did not fit well with our data. Some drivers did not have significant effect on distributors’ perceived value. Finally, the distributors’s perceived value is a determinant of business performance. The paper also systematically addresses the antecedents of customer perceived value and performance from the perspective of distributors. The results of this study suggest that manufacturers should invest more effort in personal value with their key distributors to enhance the value of the relationships with those distributors. The managerial implications of the findings are considered, and the limitations along with future research directions in B2B channel relationship are discussed.

This study explains the role of institutional performance and new product development (NPD) value chain strategies to enhance entrepreneurial competitive advantage. The analysis was based on survey data on 125 entrepreneurial households, taken using the multi-stage random sampling technique in Central Java and Yogyakarta. The path analysis model is used to explain the role and strategy used quantitatively. It was supplemented by a value chain analysis (VCA) model based on a supply chain management (MSC) approach in a more classical, linear, complex, and descriptive sub-sector analysis. The results show that the NPD factors significantly contribute to increasing the entrepreneurial competitive advantage. Furthermore, the NPD value chain strategy, apart from benefiting managers, provides employment opportunities and new markets to the community holistically. Its chain strategy changes the role and atmosphere of people's lives more humane.

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.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of the product element and logistics service quality on the customer experience within construction industries. A questionnaire was developed for data collection based on the gap analysis identified in the literature review.

This article aims to analyze the different impacts that some factors may exert on the probability that an industrial zone-located firm adapts. Recently, industry policy in developing countries tends to spur both SMEs and the industrial zone in terms of adaptation, considering them as the main driver of innovation and growth. However, not all industrial zone-located firms adapt. Departing from an extensive sample of the Vietnam Technology and Competitiveness Survey in combination with the Vietnam Enterprise Survey in 2011-2013, we try to determine those factors that cause firms to become industrial zone-located adaptation SMEs (IA-SMEs, firms fewer than 250 employees, being located in the industrial zone and adapting existing technologies). The analysis results highlight the importance of direct linkages, technology transfer between FDI firms and industrial zone-located adaptation SMEs, economic obstacles, and the interactions between them that cause industrial zone-located adaptation SMEs to adapt in the supply chain (obtained through direct transfer of technology between linked firms).
