“…There is no evidence that improved integration with suppliers enhances service performance. By contrast, El Mokadem and Khalaf (2023) evidenced that supplier integration improves operational performance in manufacturing firms. Conversely, our study on the hotel sector revealed that supplier integration does not lead to an improvement in service performance.…”

This paper aims to examine how absorptive capacity affects supply chain integration (SCI) and service performance. The association between SCI and service performance was also studied. Data were collected from four-star and five-star hotels in Egypt. A total of 114 responses were obtained. The PLS-SEM technique and SmartPLS 4.0 software were employed for analysis. The study revealed that absorptive capacity has an impact on SCI and service performance. There is also a positive relationship between SCI and service performance. Specifically, a positive influence of internal integration and customer integration on service performance was found. However, supplier integration shows no significant relationship with service performance. This suggests that enhancing awareness of customer needs and internal coordination improves service performance. From a practical viewpoint, managers must promote a learning culture, foster innovation, and encourage internal and external collaboration. These factors were identified as key components that can improve service performance and lead to the development of competitive advantage, as shown in this paper. In addition, supply chain vitality was found to enhance quality and service, particularly when there is coordination between departments and consideration of customer needs. This study is among the earliest to examine how absorptive capacity affects both supply chain integration and service performance in the hotel industry. The research contributes at a theoretical level by shedding light on the role of absorptive capacity in the development of competitive advantage.

“…Overcoming challenges associated with linking supply chain strategies with energy networks presents opportunities for synergy and optimization through energy-efficient supply chain design, demand-side management, and renewable energy integration and offsetting [36]. Supply chain network design is critical in optimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impacts [38].…”

“…Designing supply chain networks with energy efficiency in mind involves considerations such as facility location, transportation modes, packaging, and inventory management. Implementing strategies such as consolidation of shipments, route optimization, and green logistics practices can minimize energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions [36]. Therefore, the collaboration between supply chain managers, logistics providers, and energy experts can drive the integration of energy-efficient practices into supply chain design [43].…”

Production and utilization of syngas have the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy security. Renewable energy can be generated from syngas by converting problematic waste products into useful fuels and can be produced onsite to reduce transmission losses and costs. However, syngas is experiencing slow investment, production, and utilization due to bottlenecks, which are rooted in its supply chain networks. To address these challenges, this study aims to explore and evaluate supply chain strategies that drive performance in syngas networks to guide stakeholders to develop and embrace supply chain initiatives for improved competitiveness, sustainability, and energy security. Procurement, production, distribution and logistics, and end-use adoption are established as the key supply chain strategies that should be embedded in syngas supply chains to improve performance. Collaboration and technology support these strategies. These strategies will address the supply chain challenges, including feedstock availability, technology limitations and distribution infrastructure inadequacies.

“…Likewise, integration gives firms within the supply chain the opportunity to involve their partners in strategic collaborative relationships. Thus, supply chain integration (SCI) has been considered a strategic capability for companies and a source of competitive advantages (El Mokadem et al. , 2023; Liao et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeThis paper examines the moderating effect of environmental capability development on the relationship between supply chain integration and both environmental and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use empirical data collected from three diverse sources in the horticultural marketing sector. A total of 97 responses were used. An ordered logit analysis and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression were employed to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe results confirm that firm environmental capability development enhances the effects of supply chain integration on firm environmental performance. Additionally, supplier integration and environmental capabilities may be considered firm strategic capabilities that are positively related to financial performance. Thus, public policies should encourage the development of firms' individual environmental capabilities and supply chain integration to improve environmental sustainability.Originality/valueThis study recognizes the importance of environmental capability development as a strategic objective and its fundamental role as a complementary capability with supply chain integration. This paper contributes by empirically analyzing how firms along the supply chain can promote environmental sustainability through the development of environmental and integration capabilities.
