The primary data collected from an online questionnaire sent to 400 samples obtained by a stratified sampling method selected from tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 auto parts manufacturers. The structural equation model applied for analysis. The results showed that the COVID‑19 Pandemic, Environment performance, Negative performance, and operation performance affected supply chain performance. For suggestions from this research, first of all, the company's knowledge of internal management. And government involvement has a direct impact on the performance of the auto parts supply chain. The government's participation as factors of external influence also has an immediate effect on supply chain management. Company practices show that governments have played an essential role in promoting the auto parts industry's survival since its upstream. Midstream and downstream pressure has an indirect effect on corporate and consumer of supply chain management practices.

Purpose- the reason behind this work is to fine out the rising service of Mobile Money Transaction which offers banking services to all manner of persons only if they hold a phone can impact the biggest economy of the country Ghana thus agriculture which in this sector cocoa production in the country. Design/methodology/approach- the paper draws literature from numerous studies that relates to the subject of discussion. 204 questioners were designed and administered out of which 204 was correctly answered by small scale cocoa farmers and used for the analysis of this paper. Spss, excel and Smart Partial Least Square 3.0 was used in analyzing the data. Findings – Mobile Money Services has a strong service quality and thus impact transaction efficiency of the service positively. The transaction efficiency of the Mobile Money services also has a strong impact on the supply chain performance of the small holder cocoa farmers. Research limitations/implementations- the educational level of most of the respondents were low thus finding it difficult to read and understand. Researcher had to break things down and answer on their behalf. There is no clear laydown procedure for the supply chain of cocoa farmers. Most respondents live in the remotest part of the villages. Originality and value- there are so many papers on mobile money but no studies have been able to link the transactional efficiency of the service to agricultural supply chain. KEY WORDS- Mobile money services, supply chain performance, transactional efficiency, mobile money service quality Paper type- Research

The present study aims to identify the impact of the information management capacity (IMC) of an organization on its supply chain performance (SCP). Also, this study attempts to understand the mediating role of the various components of supply chain management, namely, practices, competencies and concerns. A survey instrument was used to collect primary data from 250 SMEs which were selected randomly. Structural equation modeling (SEM) technique is used to test the hypotheses using SmartPLS. The final model indicated that information management capacity significantly influences the supply chain performance and supply chain management components, namely supply chain competence, practices and concerns mediate the relationship between information management capacity and supply chain performance. The results of this study provide a significant contribution to the theory of resource-based view. The number of managerial perspectives for improving operational capabilities was explained in this study.


Today’s business under competitive environment, the organizations must be integrated and maintain their business deliberately within the supply chain network. With the intention to indentified the impact of supply chain strategy (SCS) and supply chain flexibility (SCF)) on performance in a sample of the automobile industry and investigate the direct influence of dimensions of SCS and SCF on performance. With the help of quantitative research, a survey was conducted. Statistical tools were used to investigate the information. The structural equation path modeling approach is used to assess the relationship of the hypothesis. The findings analyzed that SCS and SCF positively influence performance. The result finds an encouraging relationship between SCS and SCF with supply chain performance (SCP) and the result indicate that effective and efficient supply chain flexibility has a positive impact on the firm’s performance. The result also shows that supply chain strategies are related to performance.

Due to rapid globalization, an introduction of Goods and Services Taxes (GST), ban on BS-III vehicles, and rapid technological advancement creates new dimensions for the automobile industry in India especially for those who come in the category of small and medium enterprise (SMEs).In the current changing scenario victorious execution of supply chain management (SCM) practices can provide competitive leverage to Automobile manufacturers over their rivals particularly those who are poorly implemented supply chain management practices. This paper takes two main SCM practices, i.e. supply chain flexibility (SCF) and supply chain strategy (SCS).Against this background, this paper acknowledged 5 success factors (SFs) for supply chain flexibility and 3 success factors (SFs) for supply chain strategy for proper implementation of SCM practices in the Automobile industry, and studied their impact on three factors of supply chain performance (SCP), and thereby on firms performance. The top management of any industry is focused on their core strength with commitment, long-term vision and provides resources for supply chain, and thereby developing effective and efficient SCS emerged as the most significant SFs. To measure the impact on supply chain performance, the author carefully measures different SFs of SCS related to customer-oriented strategy, innovation strategy and agile supply chain strategy on cost performance, logistics performance and customer satisfaction performance. Similarly to access the impact on supply chain performance, carefully measure different SFs of SCF on cost performance, logistics performance and customer satisfaction performance. Results are analyzed by testing research propositions using standard statistical tools.

The need for companies' interconnection and advantages of mutual business cooperation led to the development of supply chain management in the 1980s. Along with the intensified market globalization process, companies have become aware of the need to develop efficient supply chains. A supply chain includes a series of activities from planning and organizing to controlling the flow of material and services from suppliers to the final customer. The supply chain effectiveness depends to a large extent on relationships with suppliers. Thus, relationships with suppliers and supply chain performance management are important topics in academic research due to their impact on supply chain profitability. It is particularly evident in the trade industry. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance in the trade industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The empirical research is based on the primary data, collected by using a questionnaire. The respondents are 200 trade companies from the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various statistical analysis methods have been applied to answer the research questions addressing the issues of a potential relationship between supplier relationships and supply chain performance. The results have shown that supplier relationships positively impact flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality. There is a statistically significant interdependence between partnership and information exchange, as supplier relationships dimensions, and flexibility, costs, and supply chain quality, as supply chain performance dimensions. There is, also, a statistically significant impact of some companies' characteristics on the information exchange, supplier partnership, flexibility, costs, and quality.

This paper studies how transfer pricing schemes interact with sub suppliers' opportunistic behaviors to affect supply chain performance. Effective supply chain management requires careful consideration of sub-suppliers', especially with respect to transfer pricing issues. Firms increasingly approach their sub-suppliers to drive compliance with firms' defined transfer pricing schemes. The paper models the supply chain incorporating asymmetric information among all the parties, supplier's innovation activities, sub suppliers' corruption possibility, and transfer pricing schemes. It examines the impact of various transfer pricing schemes on supply chain efficiency. Specifically, it conducts a performance comparison between the variable-cost transfer pricing scheme and the full-cost transfer pricing scheme. The paper finds that the sub supplier's choice of a transfer pricing scheme affects the supplier's sourcing decisions and the supply chain performance, and the variable-cost transfer pricing scheme performs better in achieving supply chain coordination. Therefore, the present research seeks to explore and increase one's understanding of critical factors that contribute to overcome aforementioned complexities and unique challenges of managing sub-suppliers for transfer pricing schemes. The present research expands on the theory of transfer pricing schemes and sub-supplier management context.
