Businesses contribute to increased productivity, output and jobs for the economy. Therefore, governments of countries always create favorable business environments to help businesses operate more efficiently, and thereby contribute to the economy. Transforming the industrial revolution 4.0 has brought businesses certain benefits to operations, improving productivity and efficiency. Using data in real estate businesses, through regression analysis, the research results confirm the technology factor has not yet affected the financial performance of enterprises, which can show that businesses need enough time to absorb technology in production activities to have a change in its output. In addition, there exists the negative relationship of leverage in the business and financial performance. Or it can also be confirmed that enterprises that choose their own capital are often more effective than enterprises that choose capital from loans and external financing. The study also confirms that enterprises with the ability to manage total asset turnover have higher financial efficiency. However, the research shows that interest rates have a negative effect on business operations, businesses with high interest rates have a negative effect on business operations, and vice versa.","PeriodicalId":23429,"journal":{"name":"Uncertain Supply Chain Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70913948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A descriptive, causal and analytical design with quantitative research technique was applied to the proposed research model. A sample of 301 respondents from the managerial departments of 176 logistics and distribution companies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi was used to assess the research variables. The findings revealed that the impact of information systems was positively associated with the e-supply chain, while the indirect impact of supply chain risk significantly positively impacted the e-supply chain. The research is limited to assessing the supply chain risk as an intermediary. For future research, exploring the SC risk prevention strategies' impact on the E-supply chain is recommended. Research findings are anticipated to assist communities of practice in making better information security decisions in the context of e-supply chain by clearly implementing information security policies internally and externally to enhance e-supply chain performance and SC risk management.","PeriodicalId":23429,"journal":{"name":"Uncertain Supply Chain Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70902507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample in this study was taken by purposive sampling, namely the sampling method based on certain criteria and considerations. In this study, hypothesis testing used the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The data collection technique used is an online survey. The survey was carried out by distributing online questionnaires designed using the 1 to 7 Likert method to managers in the logistics section of the manufacturing industry. The stages of data analysis were to test convergent validity, discriminant validity test, goodness fit model test to meet the R-square value and test the hypothesis.

Handicrafts, despite not being an essential product, have always been rated as a potential product for sustainable development and export. In Vietnam, a country with a lot of long-existing traditional handicraft villages, the export of handicrafts has always been considered as an advantageous activity that largely contributes to the economy as well as the society. According to statistics from the Vietnam Handicraft Exporter Association, every 1 million USD worth of handicraft export creates profit 5 to 10 times higher than that of the exploitation industry; as well as provides work for three to five thousand employees. Despite this fact, in the last few years the handicraft export in Vietnam has been modest and not fulfilled fully to its potential. In comparison with other export products, the export turnover of handicrafts still accounts for a low proportion. Recognizing this issue, the present study developed a model to analyze the effects of some certain factors to the handicraft export activity in Vietnam. The results of this paper will contribute to current literature as well as propose some solutions to promote the handicraft export in Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":23429,"journal":{"name":"Uncertain Supply Chain Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70903427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key user capabilities are needed to maintain a digital supply chain in information technology systems to integrate internally and externally. Data analysis using Partial least squares (PLS) on 89 hotel organizations with a one-star category or more shows that key user capability significantly affects internal cross-functional integration (β = 0.728) and external cross-functional integration (β = 0.127). Key user capability has an impact on supply chain flexibility (β = 0.370) while internal cross-functional integration influences increasing supply chain flexibility (β = 0.373) and financial performance (β = 0.421). External cross-functional integration increases supply chain flexibility (β = 0.316) and financial performance (β = 0.441). Lastly, supply chain flexibility impacts increasing financial flexibility (β = 0.192).

Understanding and managing these risks is crucial for protecting investors, maintaining financial stability, encouraging foreign investment, and strengthening the financial sector in Jordan. The study adopts a descriptive approach to collect and describe data and utilizes cross-sectional panel data over five years from 2016 to 2021 to establish cause-and-effect relationships between study variables, while controlling for other relevant factors that may influence the relationship. The findings suggest that while liquidity risk may not directly impact financial stability, it remains a critical risk factor that requires attention in risk management strategies. Credit risk has a negative impact on financial stability, highlighting the importance of effective credit risk management strategies to maintain a stable financial system. The study finds that operational risk has no direct impact on financial stability. Still, unsystematic operational risks can have significant implications for individual financial institutions and may indirectly affect overall stability. The study underscores the importance of comprehensive risk management strategies to mitigate the negative impact of unsystematic financial risk on financial stability.
