Agility and Resilience in Supply Chains: Investigating Their Roles in Enhancing Financial Performance

Business sectors face disruptive challenges such as cash flow problems in finance and material flow problems in supply chain and logistics processes in today’s rapidly evolving and uncertain environment. Given these challenges, effective management of resource and material flows by managers has become increasingly complex. Supply chain management is crucial for businesses to sustain competitive market positioning. This study distinctively explores the interplay between supply chain management and the financial performance of manufacturing companies, highlighting the increasingly dynamic and competitive global markets. It scrutinizes the moderating roles of supply chain agility and flexibility in this relationship, offering diverse analytical perspectives. The research methodology involved surveying white-collar employees within these companies. Factor analysis was employed to affirm the scale’s validity, and the Hayes model 3 method was utilized to test hypotheses. Our research uncovered intricate interactions between supply chain management, agility, and resilience, underscoring their collective impact on financial performance. The thesis that supply chain management has a substantial impact on financial performance was corroborated by the study’s results. The study also emphasizes the moderating impact of supply chain agility in the relationship between financial performance and supply chain management.

INDICATORS OF USER SATISFACTION OF SPA SERVICES IN SOUTHERN SERBIA

Spas have a particularly important place in the tourism of the Republic of Serbia, especially when it comes to domestic tourists. In the last representative year for tourism before COVID˗19 (2019), they participated with 18% of the total number of tourist arrivals, i.e. with 28% of the total number of overnight stays. The key criterion for the selection of spas in this research is their territorial affiliation - the area of ​​the southern part of Serbia, distributed in two municipalities (Kuršumlija and Medveđa), two cities (Niš and Vranje), i.e. in four districts (Nišava, Toplički, Jablanički and Pčinjski). The mentioned spas differ significantly from each other in terms of tourist traffic, structure and quality of services. Apart from that, some of them certainly do not belong to the most visited and famous domestic spas. On the other hand, we are talking about very promising destinations that are constantly improving their offer, especially when it comes to Lukovska Banja. One of the key assumptions for improving the competitive position of each of the six selected spas is to harmonize their offer with the wishes and expectations of modern tourists, that is, the level of tourist satisfaction, which is also the subject of research.

Unlocking the relationship between destination brand value and tourists' intentions to visit: A case study in Quang Binh province

This study aims to explore the factors that constitute the concept of destination brand value and analyze the influence of these elements on tourists' intention to choose a destination. The destination is seen as a brand that builds and maintains a unique venue image, enhances its competitive position and attracts visitors to this destination. Vietnam has much potential to attract tourists with its scenic landscapes and historical cultural relics. However, since COVID-19, attracting tourists has yet to be able to compete with other countries in the region such as Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines. How can Vietnamese destination brand value be improved to compete in attracting tourists? To answer the above research question, a quantitative approach was applied. Data was collected from 295 tourists intending to visit Quang Binh, a central province of Vietnam with many famous natural, cultural and historical attractions. Through exploratory factor analysis, research results show that three factors of brand value impact the online travel experience: destination image brand quality, destination brand awareness and destination brand image. This study confirms the positive relationship between online destination brand experience and destination intention to visit. Some implications are proposed for managers in the tourism industry to improve the competitive advantage of the Quang Binh destination brand.

ASEAN and European Union addressing the challenges of the 21st century

Abstract Subject and purpose of work The European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are trade partners and believe in rules-based multilateralism. They have developed strong ties despite starting from different starting points and having different standards. The EU is a mature regional cooperation scheme(union) with a highly institutionalized and legalized architecture. At the same time, ASEAN is an intergovernmental association with low institutionalization and legalization in which decisions are made by consensus. After almost fifty years of establishing a diplomatic dialogue between the EU and ASEAN, their cooperation has been of essential importance in maintaining peace and balancing great power rivalries. Materials and methods Bibliography in books and articles. Results The EU and ASEAN are among the world’s largest economies in terms of gross domestic product. The EU is already the world’s second-largest economy, and ASEAN could become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030. The EU looks forward to strengthening its economic cooperation with ASEAN to maintain its competitive position in the dynamically developing region of the Indo-Pacific. ASEAN is a crucial hub for transporting European goods and is essential in regional supply chains. Closer trade and investment relations could also help the EU achieve its goal of a strategic partnership between the two regional blocks encompassing political and economic cooperation. It would be desirable if the EU and ASEAN continue to connect Europe and Asia by acting as balancers and reducing tensions between the major international players. Conclusions In the 21st century, the rise of China, India, and other regional powers is consolidating a multipolar system and new geopolitical balances.

Competitive position of sand-lime bricks in the domestic market, threats and opportunities for manufacturers

The problem of assessing the prospects of silicate bricks in the domestic market of small wall materials is discussed. The solution to this problem is based on the results of the analysis of the market situation, consumer preferences and competitiveness of silicate bricks. It is shown that in the period from 2014 to 2021 due to the stronger competitive position of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and face ceramic bricks, the capacity of the market of silicate bricks decreased, its production volume and share in the structure of consumption of small-piece wall materials. The results of marketing research conducted on the basis of online questionnaires of respondents are presented, according to which the majority of respondents consider face ceramic bricks to be the material that best meets their requirements in terms of quality and appearance. The calculations showed that despite the fact that ceramic bricks have almost equal positions in terms of technical parameters and worse positions in terms of aesthetics, the most competitive material is, nevertheless, silicate bricks, which have a relatively low price. A number of threats for silicate brick producers include a decrease in demand for products, a high degree of wear and tear of technological equipment, dependence on foreign supplies of pigments, spare parts and components for equipment, insufficient level of professional competence of the personnel, etc. It is expected that in the future a number of manufacturers of sand-lime bricks will have to face the following challenges. It is assumed that in the future the ordinary silicate bricks will apparently “leave” the construction market, in connection with which manufacturers will have to focus on improving the quality and aesthetic parameters of facial silicate bricks while maintaining an attractive price for consumers.
