“…Information technology can enhance communication among departments in an organization as well as members in supply chain network by means of direct computer-to-computer connections, electronic linkages or electronic mailing facilities, etc. Bojnec and Fertő (2010) discussed that the significant, optimistic and regularly growing outcome of the internet on food industry exports ratify that the internet decreases market-specific entrance costs for food industry exports. The considerable positive effect be relevant to the internet is realized in the importing countries.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of perishable food supply chain quality (PFSCQ) and to suggest a structural model that counts the influence of PFSCQ practices on organizational sustainable performance. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of comprehensive literature review, PFSCQ highly significant practices were examined and designated. These practices were classified into four dimensions: upstream quality (supplier quality), downstream quality (customer focus), internal quality (process and logistics quality) and support practices (top management leadership and commitment to quality, quality of human resource, quality of information and supply chain integration). The measurement instrument of organizational sustainable performance was also build on, containing three aspects: economic, environmental and social performance. Findings An inventive conceptual model that specifies a comprehensive image cover up core dimensions of PFSCQ and various aspects of organizational sustainable performance was suggested. This conceptual model can be used as “a directive” for theory developing and measurement instrument development of PFSCQ practices and organizational sustainable performance. More prominently, on the road to achieving additional insight, an extensive structural model that makes out direct and indirect relationships between PFSCQ practices and organizational sustainable performance was also developed. Practitioners can apply this model as “a path plan” for implementing PFSCQ practices to improve organizational sustainable performance. Originality/value The integration of quality and supply chain even now remains inadequate in the literature. Consequently, it is required to have a more focused approach in assessing quality issues inside the upstream, internal and downstream of the supply chain. This study concentrates on the practices which make better quality aspects of the supply chain, known as PFSCQ practices. Suggested research models in this paper contribute to conceptual frameworks for theory building in PFSCQ and sustainable organizational performance. It is also expected that this research can suggest a useful direction for determining and implementing PFSCQ practices as well as make possible further studies in this arena.

“…The baseline econometric model explanation starts from traditional gravity theory, which points that bilateral trade is positively associated with their national sizes (incomes and/or population) and negatively associated with their geographical distance (e.g. Anderson, 1979;Frankel and Rose, 2002;Anderson and van Wincoop, 2003;Bojnec and Fertő, 2010;Wen et al, 2013). The increases in national incomes and/or population generate greater demands, and the closest partner's country location lowers transportation costs.…”

Purpose -This paper investigates the impacts of institutional quality in exporting and importing countries on agro-food exports from the world's leading emerging economies:Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, and China (BRIC countries).Design/methodology/approach -Measuring is based on using the gravity trade model and econometric panel data analysis for the period 1998-2009.Findings -Agro-food export from the BRIC countries has increased particularly by Brazil and China. The Russian Federation has experienced stagnating and volatile patterns. Brazil and India have strengthened market shares on the existing importing markets, while the Russian Federation has experienced severe deterioration. Export of existing products is more important than of new products. Agro-food export is positively associated with institutional quality in exporting and importing countries, gross domestic product and population sizes in importing countries, but negatively with distance.Research limitations/implications -Among institutional quality variables, the focus is on indices of legal structure and security of property rights and freedom to trade internationally in agro-food importing countries and the BRIC exporting countries.Practical implications -Different institutions and their quality affect agro-food exports differently. The impact of institutions is not uniform across product groups.Originality/value -This paper adds the impacts of institutional quality on agro-food exports.Except for processed products for final household consumption, agro-food export from the BRIC countries is positively associated with freedom to trade internationally and quality of legal system as institutional quality in exporting and importing countries.

“…Many large-scale manufacturing facilities already operate using partially automated systems, but it will require a shift towards web based, integrated and automated systems which will ensure productive yield in increased and product quality becomes consistent and Big data and knowledge based automation: This will be important in the on-going automation of many tasks that formerly required people. In addition, the volume and detail of information captured by businesses and the rise of multimedia, social media [29] and the Smart Systems will fuel future increases in data, allowing firms to understand customer preferences and personalise products.…”

The UK food industry faces significant challenges to remain sustainable. With major challenges such as Brexit on the horizon, companies can no longer rely on a low labour cost workforce to maintain low production costs and achieve economic sustainability. Smart Systems (SS) is being seen as an approach towards achieving significant improvements in both economic and environmental sustainability. However, there is little evidence to indicate whether UK food companies are prepared for the implementation of such systems. The purpose of this research is to explore the applicability of Smart Systems in UK food manufacturing companies and, to identify the key priority areas and improvement levers for the implementation of such systems. A triangulated primary research approach is adopted and includes a questionnaire, follow up interviews and visits to thirty-two food manufacturing companies in the UK. The questionnaire and interviews are guided by the development of a unique measuring instrument created by the authors that is focusses upon SS technologies and systems. This paper makes an original contribution in that it is one of few academic studies to explore the implementation of SS in the industry and, provides a new perspective on the key drivers and inhibitors around its implementation. Findings suggest that the current turbulence in the industry could be bringing food companies closer to the adoption of such systems, hence it is a good time to define and develop the optimum SS implementation strategy.
