By optimizing these factors, companies can enhance the value and profitability generated across the supply chain, encompassing value addition from suppliers to manufacturers, manufacturers to distributors, and ultimately to consumers. This value is created from the service value and price of a finished product, with the total costs borne by the entire supply chain system. The study focuses on MSMEs in the Yogyakarta region, employing random sampling techniques to gather data from various stakeholders, including owners, managers, and operational staff. Questionnaire-based data collection is followed by Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis using AMOS software. The results of this research indicate that integration, agility, and innovation have a positive effect on company performance, both in terms of financial performance and operational performance. This study contributes to the supply chain literature, specifically in the food and beverage industry, by expanding the understanding of supply chain dynamics. To enhance supply chain integration, managers can implement broader strategies and utilize information technology for better collaboration. To improve supply chain agility, the focus should be on developing flexibility and partnering with agile businesses. Supply chain innovation can be promoted through investments in technology and prioritizing innovation in products, processes, and business models.","PeriodicalId":505152,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733821","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 also investigates the channels through which impulses from fiscal and monetary policy interaction are transmitted to inflation, output and exchange rate. These were intended to provide information on the nature of interaction between fiscal and monetary policies in Nigeria. Quarterly secondary data covering the period between 1980Q1 and 2022Q1 were used in the study. Data on real gross domestic product, consumer price index, lending rate, real exchange rate and total government expenditure were sourced from international financial statistical (2022Q4 Edition) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin (2009 and 2022Q4 Issues). Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) econometric model was employed for the analysis of data. The results showed that interaction between fiscal and monetary policy in Nigeria is characterised by the way shock occurred. This indicated that the interaction between both policies showed a substitutive nature when the shocks resulted from aggregate demand and supply shocks, whereas the policies complemented each other when other macroeconomic shocks occur due to policy changes occurred. The study also revealed that investment and consumption are the channels through which impulses are transmitted into inflation, output and exchange rate.

The validity test confirms the credibility of all items, while subsequent reliability tests establish their consistency. Results from hypothesis testing indicate that the student exchange program (Global UGRAD) does not significantly influence career aspirations because the P value is 0.153 > 0.05. However, student exchange program (Global UGRAD) has a significant positive influence on self-leadership as the P value is 0.000 < 0.05. Furthermore, self-leadership has a positive and significant influence on career aspirations as the P value is 0.004 < 0.05. Additionally, it was found that self-leadership can moderate the relationship between the student exchange program (Global UGRAD) and career aspirations as the P value is 0.015 < 0.05.

The study revealed that risk management committee size and meeting frequency positively impact financial performance, suggesting that larger committees and more frequent meetings correlate with better financial outcomes. However, factors like committee independence and gender diversity had insignificant effects on financial performance. In conclusion, the presence and effectiveness of risk management committees significantly affect the financial performance of listed insurance companies in Nigeria.

This study looked at the influence of the capital market on economic growth in Nigeria between 1981 and 2022, using vector autoregressive (VAR) analysis. The variables used included: real gross domestic product (RGDP), market capitalization (MCAP), total value of securities traded (TVST), and gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). The study concluded that while RGDP and MCAP influenced their own outcome as well as the outcome of other variables positively in both the short and long run, TVST and GFCF influenced their own outcome as well as the outcome of other variables negatively in both the short and long run, using the VAR system tools of impulse response function and forecast error variance decomposition.

In this analysis, two exogenous variables are used: Transformational Leadership and Information Sharing, and the endogenous variables of employee performance and innovative work behavior as intervening variables. The data collected from this study is as many as 150 respondents and was obtained from 7 start-up companies located in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique in this study uses purposive samplings. The data analysis technique in this analysis uses Structural Equation Modelling with the help of SmartPLS-3. The results of this study show that the entire hypothesis submitted is accepted. Innovative work behavior has a mediating role for Transformational Leadership and Information Sharing.
