The performance plays a key role in the long-term survival of the organizations. If the performance of the organization increases, then the organization may lead in the global perspective. There are various factors that could lead to the performance. Among those, the supply chain management practices (SCMP) play an important role to increase the performance. The SCMP factors may also enhance the competitive advantage of the organizations. Furthermore, the manager support may provide insight to manage the SCM activities which could aid enhance firm performance (FP). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the SCMP and FP with the moderating and mediating effect in the chemical industry of Thailand. The data was collected from the supply chain managers by using a simple random technique. The SEM direct effect shows that SCMA had a significant and positive connection with firm performance FP. In addition, SCMP does not seem to have any significant relationship with the competitive advantage. While competitive advantage has a positive and significant effect on FP. On the other hand, the indirect effect shows that SCMP and FP relationship were partially mediated from the competitive advantage. Moreover, the manager's support did not significantly moderate the SCMP and FP relationship. The current study added literature in the extant literature in the form of empirical findings which could help the researchers explore their studies in future. The study may also provide help to owners as well as to shareholders to know about the importance of the SCMP, competitive advantage and managers' support to increase their FP.

The objective of the current study is to examine the effect of fast delivery and accidental management on sustainable logistics growth.

A survey was carried out and 450 questionnaires were distributed among the employees. Results of the study show that sustainable logistics growth is the most important for the logistics companies influenced by the fast delivery, accidental management and top management. Fast delivery has a positive effect on sustainable logistics growth. Increase in fast delivery increases the sustainable logistics growth. Moreover, accidental management also has a positive effect on sustainable logistics growth. Better accidental management has a positive role to enhance sustainable logistics growth. Additionally, top management also shows a positive role in sustainable logistics growth.

The objective of this study is to examine the role of employee communication skills in sustainable export performance. Furthermore, this study also examined the mediating role of client understanding, client satisfaction and client attraction. Therefore, the relationship between employee communication skills, client understanding, client satisfaction, attraction and sustainable export performance was examined.

Finally, data were analyzed and found that communication skills are playing a major role in export performance. Export performance is majorly influenced by the communication skills of employees working in logistic companies. Furthermore, communication skills have a positive role in client understanding. Client understanding has a positive effect on client satisfaction and client attraction. This whole mechanism increases the sustainable export performance.

The primary objective of this study is associated with the management of educational system in schools using Three Law Auguste Comte at Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang, East Java, Indonesia. Since June 2006 the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School has been providing the Islamic education. However, in these schools, the students coming from other schools do not have Islamic education and face difficulty while taking courses. Additionally, the students of Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools are not familiar with traditional education, such as science-based subjects; mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and management. Therefore, man-agement of educational system is required in Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools. For this purpose, data were collected from the teachers of these schools by using a questionnaire survey. Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study revealed that all levels of education in Islamic schools (Pesantren) should provide science-based subjects rational, among others: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, management, etc. Moreover, there should be a balance between Islamic education and science-based education.

The main objective of the current study is to investigate the impact of supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices on the financial performance. Additionally, the study examines the mediating role of competitive advantage in the relationship between supplier relationship management and manufacturing flow management practices and financial performance. The firm’s growth is considered to have a significant influence by managing the supply base only rather than the complete performance. The important role of supply chain management has pointed out the requirement of the firm to efficiently develop the supply chain to get the maximum result in terms of its performance and business outcome. The production procedures include many functions inside the company and the further period of the producer in the supply chain. However, it depends upon the whole supply chain to develop a procedure of easy and all possible product movement, the same case occurred to gain the desirable flexibility.

The objective of this study is to examine the role of tangible resources and operational performance (OP) in the financial performance (FP). This study examined the relationship between tangible resources, OP, supply chain, profitability and sustainable FP. Furthermore, this study examined the mediation effect of supply chain and profitability. Indonesian electronic companies were selected in the current study for data collection. Therefore, the population is grounded on the Indonesian electronic companies and data were collected from the employees of these companies. 600 questionnaires were used in this study for data collection and 350 questionnaires were returned to analyze the data. Data analysis was carried out through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results of the study highlighted that resources are the major role in FP. Particularly, the tangible resources of the company are vital to enhance the performance in financial terms. Tangible resources have a positive effect on OP, supply chain and profitability. Furthermore, OP has a positive effect on supply chain and profitability which further increases the FP.
