“…To improve the links and other aspects, it is necessary to expand the scope of logistics services and help enterprises better adapt to the reform of the modern economic system. Especially in the "Internet +" era, through the effective application of information technology, the process of supply chain management is more transparent, which greatly reduces problems such as the backlog of goods, delayed delivery, and transportation, and brings more considerable economic benefits to enterprises [16]. Of course, businesses can gain additional profits through this management.…”

As an important link of enterprise development, supply chain management should cause enterprise managers to attach great importance in order to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Based on enterprise supply chain management, this paper analyzes the current situation and risks of enterprise supply chain management and predicts the risks of supply chain management through network analysis. Supply chain management has strong resilience and can cope with greater risks for itself and various risk situations in the industry. The influence weight of risk types is assessed. The top three factors will restrict the supply chain management of enterprises and are factors that cannot be tolerated by management. In management practice, the influence should be avoided or mitigated as far as possible to improve the management level. In addition, corresponding measures are put forward according to the characteristics of enterprises, and scientific suggestions are provided for the development of enterprises. This assessment can be used as the basis of enterprise supply chain management risk control management decisions.

“…Our research has a couple of theoretical implications. First, our research has established a theoretical and conceptual framework including the concepts of information sharing, information quality, technological innovation, as compared to previous studies (Baah et al , 2022; Baba et al , 2021; Huo et al , 2021) that have skipped the collective effects of these concepts. Hence, our research contributions are invaluable as it offers both theoretical and empirical proof for the associations between the information processing paradigm and technological innovation, and textile SMEs' performance.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of the information processing paradigm (information sharing and quality) on firm performance using organizational information processing theory (OIPT) in emerging marketing. This research also pursues to explore the underpinning mediation mechanism of technological innovation in the association between the information processing paradigm and firm performance. Design/methodology/approach Using the survey method, this study recruited 331 textile SME entrepreneurs and validated the proposed model and hypotheses in AMOS. Findings The outcomes reveal that information sharing, information quality and technological innovation are positively related to firm performance, while technological innovation mediates the association between the information processing paradigm (i.e. information sharing and information quality) and firm performance. Practical implications The findings enable the firms to bring technological innovation and realize the best performance by seeking and sharing valuable information across the firm. The managers should ensure a culture of quality information sharing, improve coordination among departments and discourage irrelevant/fake information. Such practices are beneficial for firm decision-makers when formulating business plans and focusing on communication mechanisms that will assist them in attaining higher innovation levels and firm performance. Originality/value This paper theoretically and empirically contributes to examining the influence of the information processing paradigm on firm performance, which was ignored in information and performance management literature. Moreover, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the mediation mechanism between the information processing paradigm and firm performance.

The current supply chain vulnerability has become a prominent factor affecting the stable development of the economy in various countries and is a significant issue with overall and long-term significance. This study constructs a network model to measure the vulnerability and identify key influencing factors in the LED lighting industry supply chain based on the entropy-CRITIC–ISM method. By reviewing literature and using expert interviews, an indicator system for measuring the vulnerability of the LED lighting industry supply chain was constructed. The relative weights of each evaluation indicator were determined using the entropy-CRITIC method, identifying the main factors influencing supply chain vulnerability. Based on the ISM model, the structure of the vulnerability of the LED lighting industry supply chain is revealed and presented in a hierarchical-directed topological graph. The results indicate that the ratio of key equipment suppliers from overseas, the spatial aggregation degree of the supply chain, the growth rate of LED lighting industry manufacturers, and the international market share of LED lighting industry products are deep-seated factors influencing the vulnerability of the LED lighting industry supply chain. The conclusions provide a quantitative method for objectively understanding the vulnerability of the LED lighting industry supply chain and offer specific policy references for filling the gaps and strengthening the industrial basic capabilities of the LED lighting industry
