Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has created significant disruptions in both demand and supply. Our study makes use of such dramatic changes supply during the to examine resource dependence power balancing/unbalancing issues buyer–supplier relationships. Specifically, we investigate effect customer supplier concentrations on firm resilience pandemic. Drawing resource‐dependence theory (RDT), theorize that shifts different stages influence by altering dynamics between focal firms their...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact green supply chain integration (GSCI) on sustainable performance which includes environmental, social and economic performance. Design/methodology/approach Based data collected from 206 Chinese manufacturers, study uses structural equation modeling with maximum-likelihood estimation method test theoretical model. Findings results show that different dimensions GSCI have outcomes. Green internal lays foundation for supplier (GSI)...

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the antecedents of supply chain information integration (SCII) and their consequences on company performance from perspective resource-based view (RBV). Design/methodology/approach Based empirical survey data collected 202 Australian manufacturers, this study examines effects strategic relationship (SCR) technology (SCT) internalization external internal (II) II operational (operational efficiency service quality) financial performance. Structural...

Purpose – Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the purpose of this paper is to combine concepts from human resource management (HRM) and supply chain (SCM) fields explore effects high-involvement HRM practices on integration (SCI). Design/methodology/approach Using empirical survey data collected ten countries, authors examine specific three dimensions employee skills, incentives participation types SCI internal integration, supplier customer integration. The use structural equation...

Purpose Digitalization encourages the manufacturer to engage in inter-organizational technological activities (i.e. supplier IT integration and supply visibility) with its major supplier, which influences chain (SC) governance. This study tests a moderated mediation model that considers visibility as mediators between supply-side digitalization opportunism, relational ties moderator relationship opportunism. Design/methodology/approach Ordinary least square (OLS) regression is used examine...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose and empirically test a model different aspects ISO 9000 implementation in terms their relationships with three key supply chain (SC) management practices (internal processes, supplier relationships, customer relationships). In addition, it aims examine the relationship between SC activities operational performance. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 321 middle senior managers 9001 certified firms Australia who responsible for...

Purpose Facilitating supply chain visibility and traceability through effective information sharing is vital to improve the quality safety of food products. However, we know little about enablers in chains. Drawing upon resource dependence theory social exchange theory, purpose this paper explore how farmers’ on companies influences their trust relationship commitment those companies, turn facilitates with them. Design/methodology/approach Data collected from 462 farmers China were used test...

This study proposes an innovative flow management system that includes product (product and logistics) process (human, information decision) management. We identify three levels of ISO 9000 implementation (basic, advanced supportive) as enablers, operational performance the outcome. The model was tested using data-set collected from 133 9001 certified manufacturing companies in Australia. results show is positively related to both management; supportive only while basic has no significant...

Purpose This study aims to explore how different patterns of IT use influence types green supply chain management (GSCM) with customers, and in turn, environmental economic performance. Design/methodology/approach Based on data collected from 206 manufacturing companies China, the authors used structural equation modeling (SEM) maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) method test conceptual model related hypotheses. Findings The results show that both for exploitation exploration are positively...

Research indicates that online game addiction can result in health-damaging disorders and propagate via social interactions. This paper presents a GPAE model for spread on scale-free network, incorporating key nodes. The assesses local impact node degree distribution global through collective influence. We obtain the basic reproduction number $$\:{R}_{0}$$ equilibrium points. When $$\:{R}_{0}<1$$ , exhibits stable state with no players, $$\:{R}_{0}>1$$ unique positive point emerges, leading...

Decision making is characterized by great uncertainty due to the increased complexity of decision-making environment and rate change. To address this system dynamic updating environment, we adopt grey numbers represent uncertain information, construct a three-way model using relevant methods theory, discuss in propose novel decision method. Firstly, based on delay cost bull's-eye distance, adaptive conditional probability over time relative loss function different actions, put forward...

Purpose This study addresses an important research question regarding how supplier-base concentration affects buyer efficiency. Drawing on the contradicting views of transaction cost theory (TCT) and resource dependence (RDT), authors explore main effect efficiency this is contingent buyers' characteristics (i.e. development (R&amp;D) expenditure market share). Design/methodology/approach Based data collected from Chinese manufacturing firms listed National Equities Exchange Quotations...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationships between relationship commitment, cooperative behavior and alliance performance in agricultural supply chains. By investigating dyadic companies their contract farmers (hereafter denoted by C+F), study aims investigate how commitment influences such further C+F chains China. Design/methodology/approach Based on data collected from 202 462 China, uses structural equation modeling approach test conceptual model related...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the effect backward supply chain information sharing (SCIS) on performance different parties along chains. Design/methodology/approach Using data collected from 617 Chinese manufacturers, examines manufacturers suppliers (ISMS) supplier and manufacturer responsiveness in both two- three-tier chains transferrable customers (ISCM) responsiveness. authors use structural equation modeling regression analysis estimate proposed relationships....

Purpose While researchers recognize the significance of philanthropic donations in disaster relief and recovery, benefits that firms derive from such remain unclear, particularly when are adversely impacted by disaster. To address this gap, study seeks to elucidate impact various donation strategies on firm resilience context COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach Based hand-collected data donations, authors employ ordinary least squares regressions investigate effectiveness –...
