Selecting appropriate and resilient suppliers is an important issue in supply chain management (SCM) literature. Making an effective decision on this issue can decrease external risks and disruptions, purchase costs, and delay times and also guarantees business continuity in the event of...

In the automotive business environment, with intense competition among firms and with the added element of what is known as the “chips or semiconductor shortage,” adequate demand and supply chain planning is not forthright as semiconductors are essential to fabricating printed circuit boards...

This study investigates the impact of cryptocurrency mining on the technology sector as mining imposes a strong demand for semiconductor products. I find a positive association between the return of MSCI semiconductor index and the crash of the cryptocurrency market. Moreover, there is a...

Successful interorganizational governance requires practices that reduce information asymmetry between supply chain partners and foster collaborative activities. We study one potential practice—suppliers aligning their performance measurement systems with their largest customer’s performance...

This research aims at examining the influence of relationship-oriented cultural acceptance on communication performance through corporate language in the electronic industry. The samples were of 400 employees in the electronic industry. The questionnaire was administered to collect the data,...

Recognizing the importance of market structure is essential for businesses, policymakers, and consumers, as it can affect market outcomes and welfare. There are few local publications the researcher also looked at research conducted in other countries and the Philippines. The primary objective...

Feedback being information: The feedback is a set of information that the individual receives about his performance and results, showing him the mistakes he made, the amount of his progress, the amount of what he learned, and the suitability of his performance for the goal that should be...

Denitrification is an important step in domestic wastewater treatment, but providing bioavailable electron donors is an expense. However, some industrial wastewaters contain organic compounds that could be a no-cost electron donor. In this work, quinoline was used as an electron donor to drive...

Innovation is a key driver of firm productivity, especially in the electronics industry. This paper looks into the nature of innovation by categorizing it into quality-improving and costreducing types and estimating a dynamic structural model incorporating firm export, quality innovation, and...

With the launch of a new Korean government in May 2022 that places importance on future cooperation with Japan, cooperation between Korea and Japan in the so-called economic security field, including semiconductors, is expected to emerge as a new cooperation agenda. However, the agreement in the...

Companies create supply chains (SC) to gain added value, but collaborative relationships do not mean they all receive a balanced share of this value due to power asymmetry. The success of an SC depends on its ability to deliver the required products/services to the customer with specific quality...

The cryptocurrency mining business imposes a strong demand for the semiconductor industry products. I find a positive association between the MSCI worldwide semiconductor index return and crash periods of the cryptocurrency market. This association is absent for the boom periods and other MSCI...

The continuous growth of e-waste necessitates an efficient method to recover their metal contents to improve their recycling rate. The successful recovery of the metallic component from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) can generate great economic benefits to incentivize the...

Lanthanum-doped cobalt ferrite Nanoparticles with composition CoLa x Fe 2−x O 4 , (x=0.00–0.20) were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirm the formation of single-phase spinel structure for all synthesized samples. The result of Lanthanum doping on...

The electronic medical devices industry has multidisciplinary properties that requires various fields such as IT, mechanical engineering, chemistry, medicine, physiology, biotechnology, and statistics. As demand for medical services has shifted from being treatment-oriented to diagnosis and...

The cryptocurrency mining business imposes a strong demand for the semiconductor industry products. I find a positive association between the MSCI worldwide semiconductor index return and crash periods of the cryptocurrency market. This association is absent for the boom periods and other MSCI...

The heat dissipation problem of chips with high heat flux turns out to be increasingly severe. The inability of the chips to effectively cool down has significantly limited their working performance, and the issue of efficient heat dissipation should be managed urgently. In this study, an...

This paper investigates how technology affects mortgage foreclosure markets. Exploiting the staggered adoption of electronic bidding across adjoined Florida’s counties, I show that foreclosure auction success increases by 27%, and price discounts shrink by 42%. The effects are the largest in...

This paper classifies innovation as quality-improving or cost-reducing and estimates a dynamic model incorporating firm export, quality innovation, and cost innovation decisions. Estimation results show that export, quality innovation, and cost innovation increase next-period firm productivity...

In the past sixty years, transistor sizes and weights have decreased by 50 percent every eighteen months, following Moore's Law. Smaller and lighter electronics have increased productivity in virtually every industry and spurred the creation of entirely new sectors of the economy. However, while...

Inventory management is becoming very challenging for the retailer over the years due to the uncertainty in the demand and supply of products in financial risk and management systems. In a competitive market, running a business smoothly in a highly suitable place is day by day becoming tough due...

Digital twin and physical internet adoption based on advanced digital technologies is gaining significance in the recent times. Digital twin is one of the enabling technologies that link actual physical system with its virtual depiction using advanced digital technologies. In order to leverage...

In the past, industries were concentrating only on the economic aspects of a business. Many organizations are now addressing the social and environment impact of their supply chain for which they are adopting sustainability in their supply chain. The process of transformation to a sustainable...

This paper contributes to theory building efforts around the concept of knowledge connectivity and its role in suppliers’ new product innovation capability under different inter-firm knowledge pipeline conditions. We use the Taiwanese electronics and IT hardware industries as our study...
