The present study aims to analyze the financial inclusion initiatives of cooperative societies in the selected areas of North India, especially Jammu and Kashmir (UT), to improve their corporate governance. The current research considered both the primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected from field surveys using purposive sampling for the month of November 2023. The secondary data was collected from the statistical surveys of 2016 and 2018 published by National Cooperative Union of India. The research used descriptive statistics and principal component analysis to analyze the collected data. The study found that farmers had bank accounts in the nearby areas but were more dependent on cooperative societies for credit rather than banks. Additionally, cooperatives helped farmers to face uncertainty in agricultural marketing. The study concluded that cooperatives played a leading role in the financial inclusion initiatives of rural India and thus improved their corporate governance.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"385-410"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147895724","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 field has also attracted the attention of scholars to conduct several literature reviews to understand the evolution of the research in the field, given its multidisciplinary nature. Given the sustained academic interest in this field and lack of consensus on its maturity, this paper uses co-occurrence, citation, and co-citation analyses to examine the field's research development and academic maturity. Findings from this study inform the performance measurement literature in three ways; by highlighting the absence of adequate examination of effectiveness, an essential complement to the extensively studied efficiency in the current literature; by indicating ‘practical implementation’ as the current stage of research evolution of the field; and by emphasizing the need to adopt novel theoretical perspectives. It also extends the literature review previously conducted by other scholars (from 1950 to 2005) to update the research community on developments in the field from 2005 to 2020. This paper argues that while this research area has shown signs of academic maturity and professionalism, there seems to be continued reliance on a limited number of works despite the field entering a practical implementation phase. Finally, this study proposes a path for empirical verification for some of the key theoretical foundations found in the literature.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136191956","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 research intends to show how profitability and product availability can be enhanced both locally and globally by combining the long-term wholesale price contract and option contracts. Using the newsvendor model, the paper aims to identify business settings with respect to disruption parameters, demand uncertainty, and the option pricing under which the use of option contracts could improve supply chain performance. The main contribution of this research is that the effectiveness of option contracts is investigated under the impact of the supply-side disruption in addition to the demand uncertainty. The option contract-based portfolio procurement displays significant performance enhancement in terms of both the retailer profitability and the reduction in the lost sales quantity when supply-side disruptions prevail. The study of the procurement management subject to seasonal disruption can be readily applied to numerous business situations where the disruption can lead to devastating impacts such as the insufficient or untimely supply of COVID-19 vaccines with limited shelf life.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135204456","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 dashboard is a form of data visualization which provides at-a-glance views of key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to a particular objective or business process. We then identify several dimensions of information which should be included in the dashboard, such as structural, geographic as well as financial layers. The resulting dashboard tool is broad-based since, depending on the goal of the analyst, further layers may be applied to the structure. The information can then help improve the understanding of the supply network beyond confirming what is already known. This paper describes the information framework for the dashboard. The knowledge that is obtained through the analysis of the dashboard will yield areas for improvement and greater efficiency in the supply chain, reduce the chances of disruption and enable the supply chain to stay competitive.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135204660","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}

This paper employs an exploratory approach with multiple case study perspective to examine RL inefficiencies within two contexts namely, Pakistan and Malaysia. Backed by an extensive review of recent literature of various types of challenges and hurdles of RL design and implementation, the study proposed a framework to mitigate all the risks and hurdles. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews followed by thematic analysis for the identification of RL inefficiencies in FSC. Findings demonstrated that although both countries have different reverse logistics designs, they face common issues in terms of managing complexity, communication, financials, and waste. The framework has practical implications in guiding the logistics and supply chain professionals for the effective design and development of RL strategy and best practices in food sector.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362895","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}

It was found that manufacturing flexibility and quality management are positively associated with environmental performance. Additionally, their interaction was negatively related to environmental performance due to the trade-offs between the two, such as regarding organizational structure and culture. This study offers a novel perspective to the literature on environmental management by revealing such negative interaction because manufacturing flexibility and quality management are the main elements of manufacturing capability, and thus, firms should handle both appropriately.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"308 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362898","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}
