“…Furthermore, their research also suggests that obstacles do not generally hamper innovation and that firms are able to find a workaround in order to successfully innovate and grow. Khalil, Khalil, and Khan (2019) in their study, provide additional evidence from the context of Pakistani SMEs by demonstrating how SME innovation could potentially impact logistics and supply chain management practices thereby leading to improved organisational performance. Lastly, transformation leadership has been found to significantly impact marketing and innovation performance on SMEs in emerging economies (Afriyie, Du, & Musah, 2019).…”

This study investigates the impact of Global Economic Policy Uncertainty (GEPU) on firms' key marketing strategies namely, innovation as characterised by R&D spending and new product introductions. Additional analyses investigate whether labour productivity is also impacted. Based on a sample of African SMEs in both the services and manufacturing sectors, the findings from this study indicate GEPU negatively impacts the firm's propensity to undertake key marketing strategies (i.e. innovation and new product introductions). The implications from this research discuss how African SMEs could pursue less risky marketing strategies in order to survive during times of high economic uncertainty.

“…The subject of SCM among start-ups has however not received adequate attention. While previous studies indicate that SCM practices reflect positively on organizational performance (Li et al , 2005, 2006; Khalil et al , 2019; Sundram et al , 2011), this relationship has not been explored in the highly uncertain context of start-ups. Additionally, previous studies have not explored the effect of SCM practices on the customer development capabilities.…”

Purpose The number of entrepreneurial start-ups operating in developing countries has grown tremendously in recent years. However, research suggests that most start-ups in developing countries fail shortly after becoming operational. The purpose of this paper explores how supply chain management (SCM) practices may enhance the performance of start-ups in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach The study develops and empirically tests a research model which explores the effect of SCM practices on customer development and start-up performance. A survey of 300 start-ups operating in Ghana was conducted, with 72 usable responses obtained. The research model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings The results confirmed the positive impact of SCM practices on customer development and start-up performance. Customer development was also found to positively impact start-up performance. Additionally, a partial mediation role of customer development on relationship between SCM practices and start-up performance was observed. Originality/value To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first study that empirically explores the effects of SCM practices on the performance of start-ups. This is also the first study that examines the effect of SCM practices on customer development to the best of the researchers’ knowledge.

“…Moreover, the company should adhere to the policy, a new normal way of life, imposed by the Government to prevent the worsening spread of the current pandemic. Thus, one solution for this situation is to enhance its information technology (IT) capability to collaborate with internal and external partners, enabling lean production and supply chain practices to pursue superior firm performance (Siagian et al, 2020;Khalil et al, 2019). Enterprise supply chains must be robust and sustainable to enable effective responsiveness, eliminate vulnerabilities, and minimize the impact of unfavorable disruptions.…”

Today, global competition entails companies having an advantage in supply chain networks to pursue superior performance. This work examines the link between information technology (IT) capability with the firm performance by adopting a lean production approach, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain practices. The study has surveyed the population of the manufacturing company in East Java, Indonesia, using a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. A total of 111 manufacturing companies (medium and large) were selected from 5420 manufacturing companies listed in the Industrial Department of East Java. The partial least square (PLS) technique was used to analyze the data, using the SmartPLS software version 3.3. Thirteen hypotheses in this study were developed to investigate. The result revealed that all hypotheses of direct relationship were supported. IT capability directly affects lean production, vendor managed inventory, and supply chain practices. Moreover, lean production, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain practices improve firm performance. Further analysis also indicated that all hypotheses of indirect hypotheses were supported except hypothesis one hypothesis (H9). IT capability indirectly improves firm performance through lean production, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain practices. The result provides insight for managers and policymakers on enhancing firm performance by improving its IT capability, adopting lean production, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain practices. This research contributes to reinforcing the supply chain management theory.
