Recent global crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, have amplified these difficulties, creating greater supply and demand uncertainties. This escalation reveals a critical gap in the resilience of urban supply chains, particularly in emerging countries like Bangladesh, which are less prepared to handle such widespread disruptions. In this context, it is crucial to identify the key challenges impacting the resilience of perishable food supply chains in urban Bangladesh, to address the ripple effect and ensure food security. This study aims to fill this research gap by focusing on perishable FSC disruption challenges specific to this context. Employing an integrated approach combining Pareto analysis, Modified Total Interpretive Structural Modeling, and Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification, the study initially identifies eighteen major challenges through existing literature and expert input from the context of Bangladesh. Subsequent Pareto analysis narrows these down to the top twelve interrelated challenges. The findings emphasize the critical importance of “Streamlining distribution hubs with expanded transport routes” to manage these ripple effects effectively. The study is expected to aid in enhancing the sustainability of perishable food supply chain operations in urban Bangladesh by offering critical insights to policymakers to develop comprehensive strategies mitigating the impacts of supply chain disruptions due to ripple effects in the face of global crises.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"11 1","pages":"Article 100449"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were collected using the survey method comprising 297 answers given by Malaysian SMEs, which are analyzed using the PLS-SEM technique. The major findings indicate that affective attitudes, altruism, government support, and government subsidies significantly influence the adoption of sustainable technology. The findings have strategic and profound implications for sustainable technology in the growing Malaysia’s growing SME sector. The government should devise and implement policies, regulations, and support infrastructure for SMEs in implementing their sustainable technology adoption program. The outcomes of this research have important ramifications for designing appropriate strategies for addressing the challenges posed by rapid changes occurring in contemporary Malaysian society. The results of this research is unique because it reinforces the claim that affective attitude, altruism, government support, and government subsidies significantly influence the adoption of sustainable technology.

We also analyze the moderating role of internal governance mechanisms (women CEO duality and gender diversity). Our empirical outcomes indicate that the positive relationship between CEO career embeddedness and green innovation is stronger when females have dual roles (CEO and chair) but weaker when there is a female is on board. These results suggest that female’s dual role (CEO and chair) makes them more powerful and gives them freedom and dominance in decision-making. On the contrary, the positive association between CEO career embeddedness and green innovation is weaker because females are risk-averse and conservative, and they reduce the CEO's propensity for quality strategic decisions when they are on board.

Necropsy is the most effective technique for evaluating plastic ingestion in larger marine species, providing detailed post-mortem insights, while laboratory inspection is ideal for studying smaller organisms like bivalves and copepods.

Findings from the analysis revealed two factors, namely perceived usefulness and perceived value positively predicted the student trust. Moreover, it was observed that technology readiness positively predicted both ease of use and perceived usefulness while ease of use positively predicted perceived usefulness and perceived value. Additionally, perceived value, student trust, and perceived usefulness determined students’ intention to adopt smart classrooms.
