Nevertheless, research on agro-food supply chain performance (SCP) is reportedly limited. And the mechanism through which supply chain orientation (SCO) builds SCP, especially in developing economies is less understood. Therefore, this paper explores the relationship between SCO and SCP, and incorporates the mediating role of supply chain risk management (SCRM) capabilities. Cross-sectional survey data collected from 247 agro-food processing firms in Uganda are analyzed by using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling. The findings reveal that SCO positively and significantly influences both SCP and SCRM capabilities. Furthermore, SCRM capabilities partially mediate in the relationship between SCO and SCP. The novelty of this research is twofold: First, it establishes the relationship between SCO and SCP in a unique context of agro-food processing firms in a developing country. Second, it reveals the partial mediating role of SCRM capabilities, thereby addressing the gap of the need to explore the mechanisms through which SCO influences SCP. The fundamental implication of the study findings for practicing managers and other relevant stakeholders in agro-food processing firms in Uganda and other contextually similar economies is that, a focus on SCO can improve SCP, but it is important to further emphasize building SCRM capabilities as mechanisms for maximizing the overall SCP.","PeriodicalId":46981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45739415","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 argues that in Africa, “getting the message” is partly dependent on language given that indigenous languages, colonial legacy languages and blends between them compete for audience attention. Using Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) arguments, the study examines this possibility among a 1000 multilingual audience members in five cosmopolitan cities in Ghana. Findings show that advertisements are not consumed in a language vacuum and that language blends are the most appealing to the multilingual audience. The study also finds that attention to, and belief in advertisements are partly shaped by language preference. Besides these empirical contributions, the study positions the ELM as a viable theoretical lens for analyzing the implications of advertising language. Its use of an African sample to test the ELM’s assumptions also introduces novel evidence to the theory’s body of scholarship. Recommendations are made on how advertising practitioners and brand communicators may take advantage of language as an important segmentation criterion in advertising strategy.","PeriodicalId":46981,"journal":{"name":"Journal of African Business","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45617841","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}
