Abstract
The fisheries sector plays a vital role in Indonesia's maritime economy, yet capture fisheries enterprises in Ambon City continue to face persistent operational constraints, including limited cold-chain facilities, seasonal catch dependency, and poorly structured coordination among fishermen, collectors, and end consumers, all of which contribute to information asymmetry and suboptimal supply chain performance. This study aims to describe the current condition of supply chain management practices, assess the level of operational efficiency achieved, and examine the influence of supply chain management on operational efficiency among capture fisheries businesses in Ambon City. A quantitative associative approach was employed, involving 110 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with data analyzed using multiple linear regression after classical assumption testing confirmed normality, absence of multicollinearity, and homoscedasticity. The findings reveal that demand planning, procurement and distribution, and information integration each exert a significant and positive partial effect on operational efficiency, with demand planning demonstrating the strongest contribution (B=0.438), followed by procurement and distribution (B=0.353) and information integration (B=0.205). Simultaneously, these three dimensions explain 45.5 percent of the variance in operational efficiency (R²=0.455; F=29.53; p=0.000). These results indicate that although supply chain management awareness exists among business actors, implementation remains fragmented due to infrastructure and communication limitations. It is recommended that future research expand the sampling area, incorporate additional variables such as institutional capacity and policy support, and apply mediation or moderation approaches to deepen understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
According to the Uganda Police Force (UPF) Annual Crime Reports (2018–2023), crime increased by 15%, crime clearance rates declined from 60.8% to 60.3%, and average emergency response time remained at 45 minutes compared to the global benchmark of 15 minutes. While these performance challenges may arise from multiple organizational, operational, and environmental factors, effective supply chain management functions remain critical in facilitating timely deployment of resources and service delivery. Existing studies on supply chain management have not adequately addressed the UPF context and have given limited attention to financing dynamics as a moderating variable. This study examined the moderating effect of financing dynamics on the relationship between supply chain management functions and operational performance of the Uganda Police Force. Guided by the Resource-Based View theory, the study adopted a positivist philosophy and a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. The target population comprised 10,141 police officers from regional police headquarters and divisions within Uganda’s four major cities. A sample of 370 respondents was selected using stratified sampling, while a pilot study was conducted among 50 officers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression. Reliability results yielded Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.80 to 0.85. The findings revealed that financing dynamics significantly moderated the relationship between supply chain management functions and operational performance (interaction β = 0.342, ΔR² = 0.092, p < 0.05), indicating that the positive effect of supply chain management functions is strengthened when adequate financial resources are available. The study extends the Resource-Based View by demonstrating that financing dynamics function as a strategic enabling resource that enhances the effectiveness of supply chain management functions in improving operational performance.

This study analyzed the impacts of tariff policies on supply chain accounting and strategic
management within the context of U.S.–China trade relations, with the specific objectives of
examining supply chain restructuring, accounting adjustments, and strategic responses to tariff
risks. An exploratory research design was adopted to capture the complexity of tariff effects
across sourcing, logistics, production, cost management, and long-term strategy. Data were
collected from secondary sources such as published articles, peer-reviewed journals, and
policy papers, ensuring a broad coverage of perspectives. The study employed thematic
analysis as the method of data interpretation, identifying recurring patterns on supply chain
disruption, financial reporting adjustments, and strategic diversification. The findings revealed
that tariffs have had profound effects on sourcing decisions, as firms diversify away from China
yet remain entangled in Chinese-linked production systems; tariff-induced disruptions have
compelled firms to overhaul inventory valuation methods, refine cost management systems,
and expand financial reporting frameworks; effective strategic management in the face of tariff
risks relies on diversification of suppliers and markets, technological innovation, compliance
integration, and long-term scenario planning. In conclusion, the intertwining of supply chain
and accounting adjustments illustrates how trade policy shocks penetrate firm-level financial
stability and reporting integrity, reshaping the very tools through which companies evaluate
performance and communicate with stakeholders. To chief financial officers and accounting
professionals, it is recommended that firms integrate advanced cost accounting systems and
real-time inventory management software to better capture fluctuations in input costs and
trade-related disruptions. Such systems would enhance transparency in financial reporting and
allow organizations to adjust pricing strategies and profitability forecasts with greater
accuracy under tariff volatility.

The combination of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and accounting roles is increasingly seen as a strategic method to boost organizational effectiveness. This research examines how the synchronization of these two functions leads to business success, highlighting important aspects such as cost efficiency, cash flow oversight, decision-making speed, and risk mitigation. By employing a mixed-methods strategy that includes surveys and interviews with industry professionals from sectors like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and services, the study demonstrates that this integration enhances cost management by refining procurement, inventory, and production processes. Manufacturing and logistics industries notably experienced considerable decreases in operational expenses. Additionally, the synchronization of supply chain management (SCM) with accounting systems improves real-time cash flow oversight, enabling businesses to make well-informed financial choices and sustain improved working capital. The research also underscores enhanced efficiency in decision-making, especially within retail and service industries, by promoting data-driven insights. The influence of technology, particularly Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, surfaced as a crucial factor in achieving smooth integration, although issues such as system adoption and employee resistance were noted. This study highlights the significance of combining supply chain management (SCM) with accounting to reach strategic business goals, suggesting managerial considerations for investing in technology, training, and risk management systems. Future studies should explore the unique dynamics of different sectors and the long-term effects of integrating SCM and accounting on the success of organizations.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become a strategic requirement for industrial firms seeking to reduce environmental harm while improving long-term sustainability performance. Despite growing interest in green procurement, eco-design, green manufacturing, and green distribution, limited empirical evidence explains how these practices are converted into sustainability performance through collaborative environmental action in the Sultanate of Oman. Guided by the Natural Resource-Based View, this study examines the effects of four GSCM practices on environmental collaboration and investigates the mediating role of environmental collaboration in the relationship between GSCM practices and sustainability performance. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain professionals working in Omani industries. From 520 questionnaires distributed, 342 valid responses were retained for analysis. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS 4.0 and partial least squares structural equation modelling. The measurement model demonstrated acceptable reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The structural results show that eco-design, green procurement, green manufacturing, and green distribution have significant positive effects on environmental collaboration. Environmental collaboration, in turn, has a strong positive effect on sustainability performance. The indirect effects also support the mediation of the relationships between the GSCM practices and the sustainability performance, confirming the mediation chain. The results indicated that green practices are not enough; they have to be integrated with the collaboration of suppliers, customers, logistics and other functions within the company to make green practices produce results in terms of performance. The study adds to GSCM and sustainability literature by providing a relational mechanism that determines the contribution of green practices to the industrial sustainability of the Oman context.

Logistics performance has become a central determinant of firm competitiveness because it directly reflects the reliability, speed, service quality, and cost efficiency experienced by customers and supply chain partners. In emerging economies, however, these outcomes depend not only on infrastructure and institutional conditions but also on the way firms mobilize and orchestrate their internal resources. Against this background, the purpose of this study is to examine how internal investment levers influence logistics performance in Moroccan firms. Drawing on the Balanced Scorecard framework and capability-based reasoning, the study analyzes four complementary dimensions of investment: strategic investment, internal process management, human resource investment, and technological investment. A quantitative, explanatory design was adopted based on a cross-sectional survey of 384 Moroccan firms collected between September 2025 and January 2026. The hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling with ADANCO. The findings show that all four investment levers positively influence logistics performance, although with different intensities. Internal process management emerges as the strongest predictor (β = 0.6162; p = 0.003), followed by human resource investment (β = 0.4029; p = 0.040), technological investment (β = 0.2891; p = 0.0027), and strategic investment (β = 0.2485; p = 0.0020). These results indicate that logistics performance is shaped less by the mere level of financial commitment than by the organization’s ability to convert investments into stable routines, coordinated execution, and continuous improvement. The study contributes to the logistics and supply chain literature by showing that internal investments operate as an interdependent portfolio rather than as isolated drivers. From a managerial perspective, the findings suggest that firms should prioritize process governance as a foundational lever capable of strengthening the returns of technological and human capital investments, particularly in the Moroccan context.

This study examines how contemporary operational management practices contribute to operational performance by considering environmental responsiveness as a contextual strengthening factor. The analysis focuses on the implementation of Just In Time (JIT), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Total Quality Management (TQM) within manufacturing firms and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative research design was employed using a survey approach, and data were gathered through structured questionnaires with 100 responden. The empirical analysis utilized SPSS to assess both direct relationships and moderating effects. The findings reveal that JIT, SCM, and TQM significantly enhance operasional performance, while environmental responsiveness intensifies theserelationships. Overall, the results emphasize that aligning operational efficiency with environmental considerations is essential for achieving sustained competitiveness and operasional performance increase.
