A systematic review with meta-analysis of supply chain agility antecedents and its effect on firm performance

PurposeThe rising complexity of business changes has increasingly highlighted the requirements to provide a comprehensive and empirical framework for the supply chain agility (SCA). A review of extant studies shows that the results are complicated and ambiguous. Moreover, this study is a meta-analytical review of previous empirical studies to identify SCA antecedents and effects of SCA on firm performance.Design/methodology/approachAccording to the protocol, 64 studies were chosen as the sample to survey the relationships between five clusters of SC allopoietic properties (SCAPs) (SC connectivity, symbiotic relationship (SR), cognitive openness (CO), homeostasis and collaboration) and SCA, as well as its effects on firm performance.FindingsAmong antecedents, horizontal collaboration’s effect on SCA is the strongest, and the relationship between SR-SCA and CO-SCA is less than moderate. SCA affects firm performance and its dimensions, with a stronger effect on financial performance (FP). Furthermore, the SCA study in the framework of allopoietic systems is a good starting point for future research.Practical implicationsManagers are advised to constantly review repetitive interactions between the company and its environment and to learn about interactions between SC and the environment. Learning from these interactions and disseminating their explicit knowledge among company members lead to a quick response to the environmental instability.Originality/valueAs the first meta-analysis on SCA antecedents and its effects on firm performance, this study contributes to the SCA literature and provides research directions for the future.

Socio-psychological aspects of accounting and analytical profession

It is difficult to overestimate the role and importance of economic services of economic entities, since all existing activities are reflected in economic indicators that require collection, registration, monitoring, processing and analysis. In addition, without the management of financial and economic activities, it is impossible to prepare adequate justifications for strategic and operational plans for the development of an economic entity. The leading role in this process belongs to the head and administrative and managerial personnel who make final management decisions. But they can implement this at the proper level only if they use accounting information and conduct its in-depth analysis. Only highly professional specialists in the field of accounting and analytical technologies can provide the necessary data for making adequate and effective management decisions, the role and importance of which remain at the highest level in the changing socio-economic and business environment. The object of the study is an accounting and analytical profession characterized by both certain socio-psychological difficulties and opportunities for long–term career success.

The Sinking of HBOS: An Invaluable Lesson to the Contemporary Banking and Finance Sector

HBOS plc, a UK-based financial institution, initially appeared as a remarkable success story in the banking industry. 2001 marked a pivotal moment when Halifax and Bank of Scotland joined forces to create HBOS. For the subsequent six years, it achieved substantial double-digit profits, solidifying its position. In 2007, the bank’s market capitalization soared to an impressive £40 billion. While HBOS garnered accolades from analysts and brokers for its apparent success, beneath the surface, its business model proved susceptible to economic fluctuations due to what was identified as a flawed strategy and inadequate risk management practices. These critical shortcomings left the bank ill-prepared to navigate the global financial crisis. In October 2008, HBOS faced a severe crisis and ultimately merged with Lloyds Banking Group. This case delves into the intricacies of HBOS’s strategy, internal and external governance issues and the changing business environment. It serves as an invaluable tool for students seeking to comprehend the factors that led to the company’s downfall. Several pressing questions are raised, including the role of accounting improprieties, the effectiveness of the risk management system, internal governance and the inability of the board and auditors to foresee the impending challenges within the company.

Rationalizing Training And Development In Corporate Organisation: Is Staff Development Worth It?

This study explores the imperative of Training and Development (T&D) programs within corporate organizations and endeavors to answer the critical question: Is staff development worth the investment? In today's dynamic business landscape, where technological advancements and market complexities are constant, the need for a skilled and adaptable workforce is more pronounced than ever. This study aims to provide insights into the rationalization of T&D initiatives, shedding light on their inherent value and impact on organizational success. The discussion begins by acknowledging the dynamic nature of the corporate environment, emphasizing the rapid changes that demand employees to acquire new skills and competencies.

By investing in employee development, companies position themselves competitively in the market, ensuring their workforce remains agile and responsive to changing business dynamics. While the financial commitment to T&D programs may raise questions about their worth, the return on investment extends beyond immediate financial gains. Employee development contributes to a positive organizational culture, attracting top talent and fostering loyalty. Additionally, the paper explores the long-term impact on employee morale and the overall organizational reputation. It contends that staff development is not merely an expense but an invaluable investment for corporate organizations. By systematically rationalizing the importance of T&D initiatives, organizations can align their strategies with the evolving needs of the workforce and industry, ultimately ensuring sustained success and competitiveness.

A Curriculum Study: Accounting Analytics Using Python

The purpose of this study is to highlight the necessity of incorporating AI technology into the accounting sector and to provide a curriculum that allows university students to practice using data science in accounting. As the accounting work environment evolves along with technological advancements, employers, including big accounting firms, are looking for people with technical skills in addition to accounting knowledge. Accounting major students should be prepared for a changing business environment by learning technical skills in combination with accounting knowledge. This necessitates a modification in the accounting curriculum to reflect the dynamic accounting environment driven by technological innovation.

As a part of this endeavor, this paper offers a few concrete examples for the integration of accounting and Python. Python via Anaconda is utilized for the cases in this study, and a creative but beginner-friendly programming is applied to each case. As a result, in this study, a few Python-integrated accounting challenges comprising fundamental financial accounting concepts are addressed. These are only a few examples, but they might aid in introducing data science fundamentals, demonstrating how data science is used in accounting, and encouraging further research and development of deep learning.

A longitudinal perspective of climate adaptation from the UK water sector, 2013–2023

Yorkshire Water provides clean water and waste water treatment for over 5 million customers in the north of England, UK. Weather and climate determine water supply, and extreme weather, particularly flooding, can severely alter their operations and ability to process waste water. This paper provides a unique longitudinal (2013–2023) perspective of how an infrastructure owner and operator has responded to changing policy contexts and embedded climate adaptation within operational processes. The uptake in adaptation measures was driven by a combination of factors, including the Adaptation Reporting Power mandated by the Climate Change Act 2008 ; increased availability of climate data; the need to recover from extreme weather events, particularly flooding; and changes to water-management policies. The latter have instigated greater partnership working to reduce risk associated with flood events and placed more emphasis on managing water through landscape-led natural processes such as natural flood management, with actions delivered through partnership working. This paper describes Yorkshire Water’s leadership in the early days of adaptation within the UK, and discusses the changing policy frameworks, business needs, climate knowledge and societal context that have led to more holistic and sustainable water resource management.
