Sustaining businesses in a global turbulent environment: The role of information sharing / Sidah Idris and Suhana Mohezar.

This study aims to investigate the impact of technology capability and logistics integration commitment on information sharing as well as global supply chain competitiveness. Data were collected from 177 local manufacturing firms that are competing in global markets. The findings indicate that logistics integration commitment is significantly related with information sharing and global supply chain competitiveness. This study however, fails to establish a relationship between technology capability and global supply chain competitiveness. The findings also highlight information sharing as a mediator

Supply Chain Integration and Supply Chain Performance: The Mediating Role of Supply Chain Resilience

The objective of this study is to examine the influence of supply chain integration (SCI) on supply chain resilience (SCRES) on supply chain performance (SCP) dimensions of large – scale manufacturing firms in Pakistan. It also examines the indirect effects of all the SCI dimensions on all the SCP dimensions through the SCRES. A quantitative approach using questionnaire survey was employed to examine the hypotheses and theoretical framework. Data were collected from 182 manufacturing firms in Pakistan and the SMART PLS version 3.2.7 was used for data analysis. The results showed that the SCI contributed significantly to the SCRES while the SCRES impacted on the SCP substantially. However, the association between the SCI and the SCP was not linear; it was determined by the level of the SCRES. This study fills the research gap by integrating the SCRES as a mediator between the SCI and the SCP

Logistics commitment: an evidence of long-term relationship on sustainable global supply chain.

Manufactures and all network partners may think that global supply chains are simple and direct. But, in the vast majority of cases, this isnot the case. Customer demand is supported by complex and lengthy global supply chain. The intermodal transportations provide the keysuccess of the connections between global factories and along the supply chain parties. While they provide critical services, each level oftransportation will present challenge and difficulty to all parties. This study look on how logistics commitment can improves operatingefficiencies among local manufacturers and service providers as they are in global supply chain network. And, how each intermodal invested improve capabilities, creating reliable and economical port-to-destination delivery services in ensure good relationship with theirpartners. The study aims is to identify how the service providers can reshape relationship and revise networks to maintain smooth andefficient global logistics flows. This empirical study will use survey questionnaire to get the answer for each question and utilize PartialLeast Square (PLS) to analyse the data. Result shows how logistics commitment effort and strategy as to sustain global supply chainrelationship

Pro-environmentalism behavior, organizational pressure, sustainable information technology initiatives and financial performance of Malaysian service firms

Many firms are beginning to use sustainable Information Technology (IT) initiatives in their daily operations. The usage is generally associated with several factors, among them pro- environmentalism behavior and organizational pressure. Furthermore, the usage of sustainable IT initiatives has been considered to have influenced the financial performance of firms. Hence, this paper seeks to examine the factors associated with sustainable IT usage and their impact on the financial performance of threehundred and twenty-eight Malaysian services firms. Structural equation modeling was used and it was found that proenvironmentalism behavior and organizational pressure are associated with the usage of sustainable IT initiatives by organizations and that there is a correlation between pro-environmentalism behavior and organizational pressure. In addition, there is also sufficient empirical evidence to support a relationship between sustainable IT initiatives usage and financial performance
