Purpose The interaction between opening and closing behaviors of ambidextrous leadership produces “change” force throughout the organization in proactive response to market forces. This research aims to assess the role of ambidextrous leadership in fostering entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and market responsiveness. The research also seeks an insight into how external supply chain integration moderates the positive effect of EO on market responsiveness. Design/methodology/approach Research data were collected from 327 meso-level managers and 517 subordinates from chemical manufacturing companies in the Vietnam business context. Findings Research findings shed light on the positive effect of ambidextrous leadership on EO, which in turn contributes to market responsiveness. The moderation role that external supply chain integration plays on the EO–market responsiveness linkage was also grounded on the data set. Originality/value Through the identification of the predictive roles of ambidextrous leadership and EO for market responsiveness, the current research indicates the convergence between leadership, EO and market responsiveness research streams.

Purpose – This article aims to explore the impact of supply chain integration on the financial performance of Swedish manufacturing firms. Design/methodology/approach – The literature review provided the foundation for the development of the survey instrument and hypotheses for the study. In addition, the survey instrument was tested by the experts in the field and modified before it was sent to the managers in the survey group. Findings – The findings show that supply chain integration at any level is beneficial to the financial well being of the firm. Companies with total supply chain integration reported the highest level of financial performance. Research limitations/implications – Data were collected from Swedish manufacturing firms without regard to the size of the firm. The results show that supply chain integration is beneficial at any level. Practical implications – The findings will assist managers with decisions regarding supply chain integration and its role as a critical factor in improving the financial performance of manufacturing companies. Originality/value – Limited empirical studies have been conducted in this area, especially in Sweden. This study provides insight for manufacturing managers with regard to the importance of supply chain management and the competitive nature of business in the global market.

The rapid development of economic globalization and the promotion of emerging technologies have spawned a Service-oriented logic that gradually dominates the contemporary industry, and the path for manufacturing companies to improve performance has become more and more complicated. Based on this background, the article uses the data of A-share listed companies in the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta in 2019, and uses the research method of fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis to empirically study the core path and mechanism of multiple complex factors that affect corporate performance. The research results show that manufacturing companies can choose four paths to improve corporate performance (supply chain integration-driven based on internal control, servicing and market dual logic based on internal control-based integration-driven, relying on exploration and innovation-based integration-driven, Relying on the integration-driven type of dual innovation and balance), and found that the core role of supply chain integration and servicing level has become more prominent, becoming a key factor leading to high corporate performance. This research is helpful to identify the influence mechanism of supply chain integration, service level and other factors on corporate performance, and grasp the core of configuration, which has certain reference significance for corporate managers.

This study aimed to find out the influence of supply chain integration, information technology and innovation on competitive advantage. The research population comprised freight forwading company in Semarang City. The sample was selected by means of the purposive sampling technique. The sample was 100 companies. The data were collected by a questionnaire, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique in the study was multiple regression analysis using the program of SPSS Version 17 for Windows. The results of the study showed that supply chain integration, information technology and innovation had a significant positive effect on competitive advantage. The coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.71 or 71%, the coefficient shows that 71 % of competitive advantage is affected by supply chain integration, information technology, innovation while the remaining 29% is affected by other independent variables not study.

Synergy is built by manufacturing companies with suppliers and customers in the supply chain to improve organization performance. The research provides simultaneous testing of competency management, supply chain integration, supply chain quality, operational capability as a strategy to improve company performance. Collecting data for medium and large manufacturing companies in Indonesia are performed by sending a questionnaire link via email and WhatsApp. 625 respondents received the questionnaires and 152 respondents filled them with a response rate of 24.32%. Data analysis were performed using partial least squares to test the hypotheses and found that competency management had a direct impact on supply chain integration (0.598), supply chain quality (0.387) and operational capability (0.346). Supply chain integration affects increasing supply chain quality (0.428), operational capability (0.619) and organizational performance (0.255). Supply chain quality impacts increasing operational capability (0.260) and does not significantly affect organizational performance (0.018). The operational capability of a manufacturing company has an impact on improving organizational performance (0.584). Practical contribution is that managers who manage the supply chain must continue to enhance skills and knowledge and supply chain components in quality for increased performance.

Purpose Industry 4.0 not only impacts the manufacturing industry but also supply chain practices. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV), the purpose of this paper is to examine how Industry 4.0 affects supply chain integration (SCI) and supply chain performance (SCP). Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 212 respondents in manufacturing companies. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypotheses of this study. Findings The findings reveal that Industry 4.0 has a positive impact on SCI and SCP, and SCI has a positive impact on SCP. In addition, a partial mediating role of SCI has been found between Industry 4.0 and SCP. Practical implications This study reveals the role of Industry 4.0 on supply chain practices and draws attention to SCI in the linkage between Industry 4.0 and SCP. The findings emphasise the need for Industry 4.0 and SCI to enhance SCP. Originality/value There is limited research on the impacts of Industry 4.0 on SCI and SCP. This research finds empirical evidence for these impacts and enhances knowledge of Industry 4.0 by using a sample from an emerging country.

Supply chain integration has been considered to be a source of competitive advantage for firms as it improves relationships and the flow of information and resources both between internal functions in an organization and between supply chain partners. This study examines the relationship between internal integration and functional performance. It also examines the three key antecedents to internal integration: communication, leader support and conflict. A questionnaire survey is used to collect data from a sample of 152 production managers. The data are analyzed using regression. The results indicate that communication, conflict and leader support are antecedents of internal integration and also impact functional performance. Internal integration is also found to mediate the relationships between communication and leader support with functional performance, but not for the relationships between conflict and functional performance. This is also the contribution of the paper, which is the first to examine and suggest these mediating effects between communication, leader support, internal integration and functional performance.
