The data were analyzed using SPSS to perform various statistical tests such as reliability and regression analyses. The patterns of findings derived through regression analysis illustrated that all three hypotheses were supported. The theoretical implications of the results are that they were very much aligned with the existing literature and contributed to it positively.

The research follows a quantitative approach where the data was collected using a survey questionnaire based on semi-structured questions. The research reviewed female student satisfaction at business schools based on several factors derived from two underpinning theories. The variables derived from the theories and literature were Information quality, the efficiency of service, teaching quality, overall quality, student satisfaction, disconfirmation and word of mouth. The findings suggested that the university should focus more on teachers' satisfaction which would result in a positive attitude towards their students and that would result in better satisfaction. In addition, the course syllabus and quality deliverance can be better regulated by providing teachers training and workshops to help them improve their teaching style and course syllabus if needed.","PeriodicalId":357813,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Social Review","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123431004","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}

In this descriptive study, quantitative research will involve a questionnaire as a research instrument with boundary-spanning managers involved in sharing information with suppliers. Multiple research papers in different industries are used to see the impact of information sharing. In this study, information sharing with suppliers is integral in improving supply chain performance, impacting the overall business performance. Trust as a mediating factor improves sharing of information, but it will not directly influence the enhancement of supply chain performance. The findings will help managers understand and evaluate the importance of information sharing with a supplier and its effect on supply chain performance and enable them to make better decisions that enhance supply chain performance. The study is conducted in a specified time frame which bound the research to a particular period. Geographical boundaries also limit the study as it determines the impact of the research on the pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan, located in Karachi.

Percentages, frequencies and chi-square were used to analyze the data. 96.8% of the farmers are male and above 60 years of age (41.7%) with household sizes of 5-8. Results indicate that 100% of respondents currently use and adopt different climate-smart agricultural practices for cassava production. Most cassava farmers derived enhanced benefits from using and adopting climate-smart agricultural practices. The chi-square analysis further revealed that the selected socio-economic profile of the respondents, such as education, farming experience, and size of farmland, significantly determined and influenced farmers’ usage and adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices.

Organizations that embrace and prepare for change can survive and maintain a competitive position in the new global business environment. In contrast, the industrial businesses that do not implement the new rules will not survive long and will eventually be obsolete. Therefore, the concept of digitization and industrial revolution 4.0 in supply chain management was intended to be reviewed to determine its trending dimensions. This paper conducted a systematic review of 60 articles on the research topic by considering the publication during the period 2017 to 2021. The paper investigated the evolutionary changes in the supply chain's operational functions in the digital and industrial revolution 4.0 context. The main objective of reviewing articles was to identify the new trend on the search topic. Some trends identified in the current research include the use of blockchain in the supply chain and the nine elements of industry 4.0, the internet of things. The paper is equally significant for researchers and practitioners as it explains industry 4.0 and supply chain digitization trends. Future research can evaluate the mathematical, decision-making, and simulation techniques to support the research domain by increasing its applicability.
