Purpose: Present study deals with the most discussed rather than addressed yet still an unsolved problem of supply chain known as the bullwhip effect. Operational variables affecting the bullwhip effect are identified and their role in causing the bullwhip effect has been explored using...

Purpose: In spite of the fact that literature shows that big data analytics (BDA) pass on a distinct corporate ability, little is thought about their performance impacts, specifically logical conditions. Establishing this research in the dynamic capability view (DCV) and corporate culture and...

Purpose: The need for assuring correctness of business processes in enterprises is widely recognised in terms of business process re-engineering and improvement. Formal methods are a promising approach to this issue. The challenge in business process verification is to create a formal model...

Purpose: This paper considers the complex stochastic systems such as supply chains, whose dynamics are controlled by an unknown parameter such as the arrival or service rates. The purpose of this paper is to provide a simulation-based estimator of the unknown parameter when only partially...

Purpose: Determining the optimal capital structure becomes more complicated by the presence of an agency problem. The issuance of debt as a corporate governance mechanism introduces the asset substitution problem – the agency cost of debt. Thus, there is a recognized need for models that can...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify and screen continuous innovation capability enablers (CICEs) in Indonesia’s manufacturing sectors, develop a relationship among these enablers and determine their driving power and dependence power in the sector. Design/methodology/approach:...

Purpose: This study aims to model collaborative product development (CPD) among a focal firm (FF) and a fairness-concerned external partner (EP). The model is used to explore the impact of fairness concerns on revenue distributing contract and innovation efforts. The study also examines the...

Purpose: The more common approaches used in supply chain management (SCM) consider only the physical logistic operations and ignore the financial aspects of the supply chain (SC). The main objective to incorporate financial aspects in SCM is to strengthen managerial decisions concerning...

Purpose: Recently, much research about the effects of simulation on an organization’s operational performance and efficiency has been carried out. But still, there is a need for lean-based simulations rather than just modelling the system. However, these studies still lack systematization....

Purpose: The purpose of this study is modelling of a problem of policing strategy order using a multicriteria method. Design/methodology/approach: For the construction of the impact matrix strategies under the reduction of crime rates, considering a portfolio of crimes, a questionnaire applied...
