Supply chain plays a very important role in the socio-economic development of countries, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution associated with the development of the sharing economy as well as associated with the rational and optimal allocation of resources. Studying the impact of supply chain management on the development of the sharing economy in the case of Hanoi, Vietnam and using advanced quantitative analysis methods, the research results show that perfecting the supply chain helps businesses rationalize costs and thus can improve business performance and promote the sharing economy. The study also shows that the quality of human capital and technological level have a positive impact on the sharing economy. Therefore, when the economy increases the contribution of technology to production activities, it helps businesses increase their choice of the sharing economy and thus helps to allocate resources more effectively and optimally.

The purpose of the study is to determine how supply chain flexibility (SCF), supply chain governance (SCG), and green supply chain practices (GSCPs) affect supply chain performance (SCP). In addition to exploring whether TQM moderates the effect of SCF, SCG, GSCPs on SCP of Saudi medium-sized industrial firms. To this end, data was gathered from 312 employees in Saudi medium-sized industrial firms and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via Smart PLS 4 software. The study revealed that GSCPs and SCG have a positive, significant and direct effect on SCP, in addition to that SCF and TQM do not have a direct positive effect on SCP. The study also found that TQM modifies the relationship between GSCPs, SCF, SCG and SCP.

This study was, therefore, set to achieve the following objective: to explore the impact of social media on consumers’ buying decisions. The current research was conducted on online consumers through luxury perfume brands' websites. The phenomenon of online sales has recently spread in Saudi Arabia, where the authorized number of those stores reached 1,800 sites at the end of 2021. The target population was online purchasing consumers from luxury perfume sellers. The appropriate sample size in unlimited populations is 385 responses. The research hypotheses were tested using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) method, which allows for the evaluation of the degree of dependence of consumers buying decisions on social media marketing. The results of the study demonstrated that social media marketing influences the consumer purchasing decision process. The outcome can be credited to the effectiveness of marketing efforts in the chosen retail via social media.

This study aims at exploring the effect of four elements of an integrated marketing mix. The mix consists of both elements of the 4Ps and SIVA marketing models. These elements are product-solution, promotion-information, place-access, and price-value. A questionnaire was used to collect the required data from a sample of retailing market customers in Saudi Arabia. The total number of the questionnaires used in data analysis was 378. The study found that product-solution and place-access from customers’ perspective had significant effects on customer retention. On the other hand, price-value had a negative significant effect on customer retention, while promotion-information had no effect on customer retention. Hence, companies are called for considering products as solutions, promotion as a source of information for customers, place as an access point for such a solution, and price must be appropriate to the value that the customer gets.

The results show that streamlined logistics and distribution processes help to ensure the success of Green Innovation as part of BPR, strengthening the trend towards sustainable transformation. The study accentuates the importance of logistics management in enabling environmental stewardship and enhanced operational efficiency, providing some key ideas for improving both theoretical developments and future directions as well on practice ground to adopt sustainable supply chain trends.

Credit risk affects the work and reputation of banks. Islamic banks' heavy reliance on debt financing has led to increased interest in credit risk and its management. This paper aimed to identify the bank-specific factors affecting credit risk in Islamic banks, expressed as Non-Performing Finance NPF in the Middle East for the period 2011-2022. The study was based on a panel data analysis of 30 Islamic banks. The findings of study show a significant negative impact of Return On Assets ROA, Capital Adequacy Ratio CAR and size Z on the credit risk. The findings show a significant positive impact of Finance Loss Provision FLP on the credit risk. The findings also show no impact of Finance Expansion FEX, Finance to Deposit Ratio FDR and Capital Ratio CPR on the credit risk. The study showed that increasing the provision for financing losses and capital adequacy helps banks to reduce the impact of credit risks. The study recommends applying cautious lending policies and carefully selecting clients.

This research aims to investigate the upcoming challenges of green innovation and sustainability in the hospitality and tourism sectors of Saudi Arabia and the mediating role of National Vision 2030 in fostering industry growth. A quantitative design was used, and a close-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from 499 respondents in the hospitality and tourism sectors of Saudi Arabia. The analysis was performed using SmartPLS and structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate several upcoming challenges, such as renewable energy consumption, energy efficiency, and the changing preferences of consumers. However, these challenges can be dealt with adequate government policies and the mediating role of the Saudi Arabia 2030 vision to achieve sustainability in the hospitality and tourism sectors. These findings have theoretical and practical implications, which are discussed in the end. The scope of the findings is constrained to the geographic context of Saudi Arabia, inviting future investigations in a broader international context.

Retail food businesses are important contributors to the economic stability of nations, contributing to the economy in different ways, including providing jobs in the supply chain pipeline. Global events like the pandemic arising from the spread of COVID-19 threatened the aptitude of retail food outlets to operate due to the restrictions put in place to mitigate the spread of the virus. The objective of this research is to investigate the determinants that impact the longevity of organizations in the food retail industry and construct a survival model that accounts for these characteristics considering the COVID-19 pandemic, and examining the roles of variables such as organizational survival, external general environment, corporate governance policy, transformational change management, economic condition, and marketing innovation. The study utilized quantitative methodology, employing a survey questionnaire to gather data from a sample of 360 entrepreneurs. Subsequently, the data was analyzed using statistical analysis and the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The research findings reveal that the external general environment, transformational change management, economic conditions, corporate governance policies, and marketing innovation have statistically significant positive impacts on organizational survival. Consequently, food retail businesses must adapt within the COVID-19 context, under evolving external conditions, to strategize for enhanced competitive capabilities. This includes managing change and economic conditions for survival in a COVID-19 pandemic characterized by rapid economic shifts, human behavioral changes, and adaptive governance policies that align with situations. These findings can be applied to organizational structures, addressing weaknesses and further enhancing organizational strengths to create innovative marketing approaches that align appropriately with current circumstances for organizational survival. An important limitation of the study is that data were collected from only 360 food retailers in Thailand, representing a partial population of the food retail business in Thailand, hence limiting the generalizability of the results beyond the context of the study and other countries.
