Purpose: This work aimed to investigate the impact of triple-A supply chain (SC) on SC performance in Bahir Dar & Kombolcha textile Share Company, Ethiopia. Research Methodology: The study used survey questionnaires as a data collection instrument. Statistical package for social science to purify measurement items & Partial least square structural equation model used to test whether SC agility, SC adaptability, and SC alignment have individual or joint effects on SC performance. Results: The finding indicates that SC adaptability, SC alignment, and SC agility have a significant effect on SC performance. The result also indicates that the joint triple-A SC had a strong impact on SC performance. Limitations: The study focused on two Ethiopian textile share companies and it does not include other companies in the country. Contribution: This study allows us to understand the joint triple-A SC, SC agility, adaptability, and SC alignment-SC performance relationships at a dimensional level and helps to develop a comprehensive research model. Keywords: 1. Adaptability 2. Agility 3. Alignment 4. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling 5. SC performance 6. Triple-A

Purpose: This paper identifies the impacts of port characteristics and port-logistics integration on port performance in the case of Ethiopian dry ports. Research Methodology: To complete the study, we used structural equation modeling to test the relationship between port characteristics and port-logistics integration with port performance. Moreover, Statistical Package for Social Science is also used to filter indicators. Apart from this, the study was conducted in three dry ports of Ethiopia having a sample of 279 employees. Results: The finding shows that port characteristics such as port infrastructure, port connectivity, and port privatization have significantly impacted port performance. Also, port-logistics integration has an impact on both port operational performance and port efficiency. Limitations: The main limitation is that the study focused only on three dry ports of Ethiopia which do not include other dry ports in the country. Contribution: Ethiopia suffered forced dependency on transit countries after a blooded war with Eritrea which resulted in customs delays at port. To reduce this, the study suggests that Ethiopia should coordinate in developing joint infrastructures, and formulating unfettered rules and regulations with its transit countries. Keywords: 1. Port characteristics 2. Port logistics integration 3. Port operational performance 4. Port efficiency

Goal: COVID-19 has put the supply chain (SC) through exceptional shocks and disruptions that have never been seen before. It put existing SCs' capabilities to a severe test. Moreover, due to the pandemic, demand and supply have been imbalanced, which has led to questions about societal and SC survivability. This study examines the effects of firms' SC viability on SC and marketing performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: An explanatory research design was employed to examine the relationship between the antecedents of SC viability, SC, and marketing performance using partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM). Moreover, 5-point Likert scale questionnaires are used as a data collection instrument. Results: The finding shows that both SC resilience, SC agility, and sustainable SC have a positive effect on SC performance. Further, SC viability [SC resilience + SC agility + sustainable SC] has a positive effect on SC performance. SC performance also play partial mediation between SC viability and marketing performance. Limitations of the investigation: The study focused only on a limited number of large manufacturing companies in Ethiopia, which excluded other medium- and small-sized firms due to the ongoing war in the northern part of the country. Moreover, the study focused only on one dimension of sustainability (social aspect). Implicações práticas:  O estudo mostra às empresas que os métodos tradicionais de avaliação de risco são insuficientes e não serão mais suficientes para superar uma grave disrupção. Em vez disso, o estudo recomenda que as empresas trabalhem usando determinação antecipada de falhas (AFD) e uma abordagem de equipe vermelha para se preparar para eventos 'desconhecidos'. Além disso, o estudo traz um modelo prático e holístico que mostra a relação entre viabilidade de SC e desempenho de SC e marketing. Originalidade/Valor:  Nenhum dos estudos até agora em SC testou os conceitos de sistemas de viabilidade em SCM adotando disciplinas como modelagem ecológica, biológica e cibernética usando PLS-SEM. Consequentemente, contribui para a literatura existente, mostrando novas evidências empíricas de uma forte relação entre viabilidade SC, desempenho SC e desempenho de marketing.
