“…There are many performance measures of community empowerment from the social dimension, one of which is changing the entrepreneurial mindset that is important and strategic because the entrepreneurial mindset will bring perspectives and ways of thinking to business (Hussain, Kot, Kamarudin, & Yee, 2021). Entrepreneurs who do not have the mindset of an entrepreneur are mentally vulnerable to business risks and innovation (Adi, 2018).…”

“…The main drivers for the development of digital processes in logistics networks are the cheapening of sensors and mobile communication systems that allow the collection and transmission of a huge amount of data from all of the participants in the supply chain. A networked look at an intelligent digital supply chain focuses on building resilience against potential external influences on the supply chain [64][65][66][67][68].…”

The BRICS Group unites the most rapidly developing large countries, the trade and economic interaction between which can make a significant contribution to both the region’s and world’s development. The purpose of this article is to analyze the development of trade and economic interaction and logistics infrastructure in the BRICS countries, as well as to develop an analytical concept of the BRICS Digital Logistics Platform (DLP) as a tool for the BRICS development. The research methodology includes methods for statistical data analysis, a case study of the DLP development in the BRICS countries, an analysis of the existing definitions and methods for developing DLP, and methods of systemic analysis. The research results present the trade and logistics interaction between the BRICS countries. The level of logistics development in these countries is analyzed based on the World Bank Logistics Performance Index. The article highlights the existing restrictions for the expansion of the economic interaction between countries, one of which is the uneven development of the logistics infrastructure. The article states that the BRICS DLP can be a tool for overcoming the limitation of uneven logistics infrastructure and intensifying trade interaction between the BRICS countries. The experience of creating national DLPs in each of the BRICS countries is analyzed. It is shown that the BRICS countries cannot join one of the existing national DLPs because of the risks for the national sovereignty of the participants. Therefore, an original analytical description for the international BRICS DLP is proposed. It will focus on the simplicity and transparency of the interaction between all of the participants of trade and economic interactions at various levels, as well as on the reduction of economic and logistics risks.

“…This controls for the endogeneity problem (Wintoki et al, 2012), which is expected in dynamic data generation. Failing to control for all possible sources of endogeneity might lead to false results (Schultz et al, 2010;Kamarudin et al, 2017;Hussain et al, 2021); such sources include omitted variables, simultaneity and the Jordanian listed companies feedback effect (Barros et al, 2010). Other methods, such as ordinary least squares (OLS), the fixed effects model and the random effects model are unable to deal with such problems.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of low-quality financial statements; that is, disclosure violations reported by the Securities Exchange Commission related to the level of cash holdings (CH) of firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). Design/methodology/approach Using panel data from 107 ASE-listed companies from 2009 to 2018, the study uses generalized method of moment estimation to examine the research hypothesis. This study hypothesize that disclosure violations can affect the level of CH and control for several variables that affect this level. Findings The results show that disclosure violations significantly affect the level of CH and that cash flow, capital expenditure and debt issues have a significantly positive impact on corporate CH. On the other hand, the market to book ratio and sales growth were found to be insignificant. Research limitations/implications The limitations of the research include the fact that information on research and development and equity issues were not available, so were not included in the examination. Practical implications It is recommended that managers enhance the quality of disclosures since this allows them to hold lower levels of cash and exploit more investment opportunities. Policymakers are recommended to supervise firm disclosures closely and create ratings for disclosure quality. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first empirical research on the association between proven low-quality disclosures and the level of corporate CH among Jordanian listed companies.
