Prior research in several industries, particularly manufacturing industries, has confirmed the use of supply chain integration (SCI) to achieve green innovation (GI). Despite this, there has been very little research into the effects of SCI on the GI of manufacturing businesses. As a result, the current study was carried out to close this gap in the literature. Data from 231 manufacturing businesses in Jordan was used to validate a framework of several hypotheses about the relationships involving SCI and GI. SCI (customer integration (CI) and supplier integration (SI) have beneficial benefits on the green product and process innovation (GPDI & GPRI), according to the results of structural equation modeling. SI's effects on green products and process innovation are moderated by environmental unpredictability. The effects of CI on green product innovation are being moderated by environmental unpredictability. Environmental uncertainty, on the other hand, does not moderate the impacts of CI on green process innovation. This research adds to our knowledge of the SCI-GI link.

The effectiveness of the E-CRM system was examined in this study, involving those with online shopping experience, specifically the regular customers of Carrefour in Jordan. Data were obtained through 550 distributed sets of questionnaires. Four trained and certified research assistants assisted the data gathering process. Data from 320 returned questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). System quality, access to information, security, training and customer satisfaction were the examined factors towards the effectiveness of E-CRM systems. Results show positive impact of security, system quality, training, and access to information on user satisfaction, and user satisfaction affected the effectiveness of E-CRM. Nonetheless, the relationship between training and effectiveness of E-CRM on online shopping was not mediated by user satisfaction.

Precast concrete (PC) can potentially improve construction industry projects when used as a primary process in the precast concrete supply chain (PCSC). Successful inventory reduction and on-time delivery are essential in the PCSC because of critical scheduling and cost factors. To solve these challenges, this study applied Just-In-Time (JIT) strategies in the PCSC using the Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) model to help manufacturers identify the optimal decision. The factors considered were offsite inventory levels (based on days buffered) and batch delivery decisions that reduced supply penalties and improved construction performance. The model was validated based on a precast project experiment in Vietnam; the model provided a saving of 52% in manufacturer penalties and reduced construction idle work by 77%. An optimal combined decision was provided for the manufacturer, such as a 1day-4batch decision with maximum benefit and a 2day-2batch decision for safety using an uncertainty risk consideration in the PC wall panel study case. This research contributes a tool to help manufacturers in decision making and promotes the use of JIT applications/strategies in the PCSC process.

The main objective of the current study is to investigate the impact of supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices on the financial performance. Additionally, the study examines the mediating role of competitive advantage in the relationship between supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices and financial performance. The firm’s growth is considered to have a significant influence by managing the supply base only rather than the complete performance. The important role of supply chain management has pointed out the requirement of the firm to efficiently develop the supply chain to get the maximum result in terms of its performance and business outcome. The production procedures include many functions inside the company and the further period of the producer in the supply chain. However, it depends upon the whole supply chain to develop a procedure of easy and all possible product movement, the same case occurred to gain the desirable flexibility.

Supply chain risks hinder the cooperation among members, negatively affecting the supply chain and enterprises’ performance. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to demonstrate the relationship between risk, supply chain performance, and business performance in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Research data were collected from 142 rice enterprises. The result demonstrates that risks occurring in the supply chain negatively influenced the performance of the rice supply chain and the performance of rice enterprises. Besides, the study shows that rice supply chain performance positively impacts on rice business performance in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

The enablers of Big Data Analytics (BDA) on the BDA adoption intention of consumer goods’ retailing firms were measured in this study along with innovation culture as a moderator. Based on a literature review, six BDA adoption intention enablers: financial readiness, perceived advantages, top management support, IT infrastructure, technology sophistication, and data quality were identified. The study collected data from different levels of managers in the consumer goods’ retailing sector in Jordan to test the proposed study framework. To obtain primary data, a quantitative method was used, and a survey (structured questionnaire) was conducted. SmartPLS version 3.3 was used to analyze and test the proposed study model, which included 211 respondents. Three BDA enablers, including perceived advantages, top management support, and IT infrastructure, were found to have a statistically significant effect on BDA adoption intention in their supply chain operations. Furthermore, the relationship between financial readiness and BDA adoption intention was significantly moderated by innovation culture. This research model can be used to determine the challenges and enablers to BDA adoption in supply chain operations for both developed and developing countries. Future research may replicate the model in various sectors or the same sector in different countries.

The aim of the current study is to examine the effects of competitive advantage and digital marketing on tourism business performance (BP). The indirect effect of supply chain management (SCM) is also considered by the current study. Quantitative research approach is used and data collection is made through a survey instrument. 225 responses were received and used in data analysis to examine the relationship between variables. Five direct effect hypotheses and two indirect effect hypotheses are tested in this study. Smart PLS is used to test the direct and indirect relationship. It is found that; competitive advantage has a positive effect on BP. It also has a positive effect on SCM. Furthermore, digital marketing has a positive effect on BP. Similarly, digital marketing has a positive effect on SCM. Additionally, SCM is a mediating variable between competitive advantage and BP of the tourism industry.

Adopting the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, this study aims at investigating the impact of big data (volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value) on supply chain performance through the mediating role of supply chain management (plan, source, make, deliver, and return) assuming four hypotheses. Data were collected using a questionnaire from managers of food processing companies. The results showed that big data affected supply chain management significantly and positively, which in turn affected supply chain performance significantly and positively. In addition, big data exerted a significant and positive impact on supply chain performance. Based on these links, it was found that supply chain management mediated significantly the effect of big data on supply chain performance. The study contributes to the literature showing that big data plays a pivotal role in improving supply chain performance and supply chain performance from the SCOR model perspective is critical for the relationship between these two constructs.

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of supply chain management through social media on competitiveness of the private hospitals in Jordan.

Therefore, the complete census method was used in this research to collect the primary data, where the total responses were 438 responses were used for analysis. The questionnaire was used as a basic instrument in the current research, as it was designed electronically through Google Forms and sent to the research sample via email. AMOS software was used to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that all dimensions of supply chain management through social media had a positive impact on competitiveness; the greatest effect was for strategic relations with suppliers. Based on the study results; managers at the examined companies should enhance their usage of social media with suppliers, according to the report, in order to support strategic connections with them.

This paper aims to examine what factor relevancy influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms in Thailand. Further, it investigates consumers' behavior during the covid-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was used to examine a sample of 400 Thai consumers who were using online food delivery platforms. Collected data were analyzed using a statistical package program in 3 steps: Confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation model analysis (SEM). Thai consumers increasingly used food delivery on online platforms during the covid-19 epidemic. The study also found that the platform's ease of use, the food delivery service fees, offers or privileges, and payment security on online food delivery platforms influenced consumers’ future use of online food delivery platforms. The food delivery service fees are the most influential factor in using online food delivery platforms. Future research can explore the role of using online food delivery platforms and their impact on the online food delivery platforms. Online food delivery platform providers should lower their service fees, always be implementing new promotions, provide various coupon codes, and create games so that consumers can win prizes. The online food delivery platform providers need to develop consumer trust, ensure that payments are secure, and enhance the ease of use of their platforms. This study contributes to the emerging literature related to online food delivery platforms by studying the relevancy factor that influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms, which are critical for the success of any online food delivery platform provider.
