“…Moreover, the data used in this research are limited to publicly listed SCF service providers in the US. This may reduce the generalisability of the findings to private companies and those listed elsewhere (Chen et al , 2021). Future studies should investigate the role of SCF initiatives in various market conditions and for unlisted service providers.…”

PurposeThis study empirically investigates how supply chain finance (SCF) initiatives together with different firm capabilities and resources (i.e. information technology (IT) capability, operational slack and political connections) affect the financial risk of service providers.Design/methodology/approachThis study collects secondary longitudinal data to test for a direct impact of SCF initiatives on service providers' financial risk. It further investigates the moderating effects of the service provider's IT capability, operational slack and political connections. Additional tests and analytical strategies are performed to ensure the robustness of the results.FindingsThe findings indicate that SCF initiatives help service providers mitigate financial risk. The risk reduction is greater for service providers with higher IT capability, operational slack and political connections, but the last factor applies only to multinational corporations, not domestic companies.Research limitations/implicationsThe data used in this research is limited to SCF service providers publicly listed in the United States, which may restrict the generalisability of the findings. Nonetheless, the research urges scholars to focus more on the financial risk implications of SCF in different market contexts.Practical implicationsThis study encourages service providers to embrace the power of SCF initiatives for mitigating financial risk and allows them to evaluate their SCF investments in light of different firm capabilities and resources.Originality/valueThis is the first study investigating the impacts of SCF initiatives and various firm capabilities and resources on service providers' financial risk. The empirical findings provide important implications for future research and practices.

“…After Tachizawa and Wong (2014), Gong et al (2018) andBrown (2019) apply a case study approach to empirically analyse the governance mechanisms in three multinational companies' multi-tier sustainable supply chain initiatives in China. Interestingly, they borrow the concept of supply chain transformational/transactional leadership (Defee, Esper, and Mollenkopf 2009a, 2009b, 2010Gosling et al 2016;Chen et al 2021) on analysing the focal companies' governance mechanisms on first-tier suppliers and Tachizawa and Wong's (2014) classification on lower-tier suppliers. Both studies tend to simplify the multi-tier supply chain into a few tiers without exploring the details at a network perspective.…”

A multi-tier supply chain is a complex system as it covers a focal company and multiple tiers of suppliers in a complex supply chain network. This study explores the complexity in multi-tier sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) through a social systems theory perspective. We carried out a case study on IKEA China's sustainable cotton initiative and examined its five cotton-textile supply chains. The primary data were collected through 22 semi-structured interviews with managers of IKEA China and their multi-tier suppliers. The findings suggest that in order to cope with environmental complexity in implementing multi-tier sustainable initiatives, focal companies tend to create both internal complexity and collaborative complexity in a variety of governance mechanisms. In addition, environmental overlap and available collaborative complexity increase in this process and can feed back into systems to facilitate further creation of requisite variety. We contribute to the multi-tier SSCM literature through providing an in-depth understanding of nuanced mechanisms of managing different tiers of suppliers to cope with complexities by adopting a social systems theory perspective. We also contribute to multi-tier supply chain governance mechanisms from an evolution perspective.

“…Meta-analysis is used to combine quantitative data from related research to summarize the results for the whole population, from which it estimates the combined effect of the whole population by synthesizing the weighted means of the effect size from each empirical study. ere are two ways to estimate the model to process the meta-analysis: a fixedeffect model and a random-effect model [56]. e fact that the Q statistic calculated in this test is significant (P < 0.05) suggests that the studies are heterogeneous.…”

Many scholars have conducted extensive research on the adoption behavior of mobile readers, and there are obvious differences in the degree and direction of conclusions drawn from different individual studies. In this study, a meta-analysis method was used to comprehensively analyze a total of 74,964 independent samples of 31 relevant empirical research documents at home and abroad. The results show that the main influencing factors of mobile reading are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived mobility, perceived entertainment, social influence, cognitive adjustment, perceived value, usage attitude, interface design, etc. Cognitive adjustment and usage attitude have the greatest impact on intention to use, followed by perceived usefulness, perceived mobility, subjective norms, perceived ease of use; perceived ease of use has a significant positive impact on perceived usefulness; interface design has a significant positive effect on perceived ease of use; behavioral intention has a significant positive effect on actual behavior; and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a significant positive effect on usage attitude.
