The ability of Enterprise Marketing Architectures (EMAC) to innovate has a significant and beneficial impact on their success. Entrepreneurship orientation (EO) provides tangible proof of SME success through competitive advantage (CA). Corporate orientation has no direct impact on SME performance through competitiveness (CA).

Force majeure in Indonesia, especially during pandemics, causes a drastic fluctuation in the market and makes many medicine products related to the pandemic become scarce and stocked out. Major pharmaceutical companies manufactured in Indonesia need solutions for the significant change in demand level and find solutions to balance the supply and demand level. According to the existing literature, by doing internal integration, supplier integration, and customer integration, and supported with supply chain capability, companies can find solutions regarding market fluctuation and increase their competitive performance. This research uses 102 listed Indonesians chosen by the purposive sampling method. Research analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling and SmartPLS 3 software. This research finds that, in general, supply chain capability influences competitive performance. Meanwhile, internal integration by sharing activity information in departments and coordinating integrated planning can positively and significantly affect supplier integration and customer integration. Sharing inventory and information with suppliers and coordinating with suppliers about materials availability significantly influence supply chain capability. Internal integration also has a significant influence on supply chain capability. Customer integration with information sharing with customers and the company involving the customers when demands influence supply chain capability. Supply chain integration (internal, supplier, and customer) does not directly impact operational performance, so supply chain capability is a perfect intervening variable. Supply chain capability can help internal and external integration better affect competitive performance. This research also makes practical contributions to give managers input about how internal integration, supplier and customer integration, and supply chain capability can affect companies' competitive performance.

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between inspirational leadership and performance and the relationship between green supply chain management and performance improvement. This research method is quantitative. Research data was obtained by distributing online questionnaires via social media, the questionnaire was designed using statement items with a Likert scale of 1 to 7. The respondents for this research were 678 SMEs owners in Indonesia who were determined using the simple random sampling method. The data analysis technique for this research uses partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis with SmartPLS 3.0 software data processing tools. The stages of research analysis are validity testing, reliability testing and hypothesis testing (significance). The results of the research show that inspirational leadership has a positive and significant effect on performance. With the existence of inspirational leadership on HR performance it will have a positive effect if employees get trust and good examples from leaders, and employees get inspiration and motivation so they can create new innovations that make the company more advanced.

The present research analyzes the short and long run relationship between Energy Consumption, Economic growth, and Carbon Dioxide emissions in Jordan. The study employs two (2) models: 1: Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach and 2: Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) Granger causality and impulse response function. The results reveal that energy consumption has a positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions and in turn carbon dioxide emissions have a positive link to economic growth. Further, the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis is tested, and it reveals that the EKC hypothesis is validated in the case of Jordan since the carbon dioxide emissions show a significant impact on economic growth in the short and long run. The study provides important results for future researchers and government policy makers.

The technological revolution has been taking place and rapidly changing many activities in social life, and especially in businesses. The benefits of the technological revolution led to changes in policies for businesses and therefore require businesses to change to adapt. In operations, choosing appropriate policies plays a decisive role in the development of enterprises in production and business, optimizing production activities and dominating the market. Conducting a survey of 310 typical enterprises in Vietnam with stable production and business activities, using estimated regression analysis via SPSS software, the regression results show that the factors that influence the decision of the policy choices are: external groups, administrator influence, employee quality, and legal environment.

Farmers face various risks such as production risks in the use of technology, pests, climate change and natural disasters. Farmers in disaster-prone areas have different responses depending on their behavior towards the risks posed. The main problem in this research is how farmers behave towards production risks due to flooding and the technical efficiency of rice farming in flood-prone areas. The aim of this research is to analyze farmers' behavior towards production risks due to flooding and the technical efficiency of rice farmers in flood-prone areas. The results of this research will provide important information for policy simulations that the government can implement towards farmers affected by natural disasters and for sustainable disaster mitigation strategies. The novelty of this research is that it combines two theories, namely risk behavior and agricultural technical efficiency in producing disaster mitigation strategies. The research location was determined purposefully in Pasuruan and Bojonegoro Regencies. The data in this research are primary and secondary data with the sample in this research being farmers. The sampling technique in this research is a multi-stage cluster sampling technique. The analysis method in this research uses Just Pope. and the Cobb-Douglas production function model with the Stochastic Production Frontier approach. The target of these research findings is a model of the types of behavior regarding the risks of farmers who are flood victims, as well as the level of technical efficiency of rice farming and the factors that influence it. The expected findings are policy recommendations regarding disaster mitigation from economic and agricultural risk aspects to create sustainable agriculture.
