Assessment of the impact of management commitment and supply chain integration on SMEs' innovation performance: Moderation role of government support

This study aims to investigate the effect of management commitment (MC), supply chain integration (SCI), and government support (PGS) on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) innovation performance. The study was quantitative, and the cross-sectional method was used to gather 685 valid data through a structured questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis in Analysis of Moment Structures version 26 software was engaged in checking the constructs' validity. Hierarchical regression analysis was employed to examine the hypothesized relationships using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 software. The regression analysis findings revealed that management commitment influenced the three dimensions of SCI (internal, customer, and supplier integration) and SMEs' innovation performance. The results from the mediation analysis indicated a partial mediation effect of internal, customer, and supplier integration in the relationship between management commitment and SMEs' innovation performance. Also, PGS significantly moderated the relationship between SCI and SMEs' innovation performance. The present study is critical as it explains the medium through which MC, SCI, PGS, and SMEs' innovation performance relate in one conceptual model.

A Systematic Literature Review of the IT-Based Supply Chain Management System: Towards a Sustainable Supply Chain Management Model

The concept of sustainability has been highly valued by all aspects of life, while the supply chain plays a critical role in production and logistics. Supply chain management (SCM) is continuously transformed by information technology (IT). The purpose of this study is to review and discuss the effect of information technology-based SCM on sustainability. This paper conducted a systematic literature review by collecting author-anchored keywords from peer-reviewed articles on IT-based supply chain management. A total of 1264 articles and 2575 keywords from eleven supply chain-related journals were analysed with social network analysis. A knowledge map with ten research hot topics was identified. Additionally, a sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) model is developed not only to guide researchers to further understand IT-based SCM topical and structural meanings but also to contribute to enlightening a coherent and rigorous body of theories relevant to academics and supply chain and logistics managers interested in SSCM.
