Profit or Growth? The Impacts of Supplier Dependence and Customer Dependence on SMEs’ Performance

Previous research on supply chain dependence has predominantly focused on large firms, leaving a significant gap in the literature regarding small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), an often overlooked but crucial sector of the economy. This study aims to address this gap by examining the relationship between supply chain dependence (i.e., supplier dependence, customer dependence) and SMEs’ performance—specifically profit and growth. We employ a multiple linear regression model with two-way fixed effects (firm and year) to analyze data from SMEs listed on China’s National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) from 2013 to 2020, investigating the impact of supplier dependence and customer dependence on SMEs’ profitability and growth. We find that customer dependence has a significant positive effect on both SMEs’ profit and growth, while supplier dependence negatively impacts SMEs’ profit but does not significantly affect SMEs’ growth. Additionally, we conduct a heterogeneity analysis to explore how the influences of supplier dependence and customer dependence on SMEs’ performance vary based on SMEs’ characteristics, such as age, initial size, and innovation orientation. This research not only enhances the existing literature on supply chain dependence by providing insights specific to SMEs but also offers practical recommendations for improving supply chain management strategies within these firms.

Developing Green Marketing Strategies: A Comprehensive Analysis of Consumer Behaviour and Business Practices

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between green marketing communication techniques, consumer behaviour patterns, and business organisations’ practices by employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. A hypothesized quantitative survey with 500 consumers and a qualitative case study of leading organisations to assess modern tendencies and approaches were carried out. The quantitative analysis shows that 70% of the consumers take environmental concern while purchasing products, but only 45% are ready to pay the premium price for green products. Moreover, there is a low level of confidence in green claims where only 30% of the consumers are confident that firms have sincere intentions about the statements they make. An analysis of Nike, Starbucks, and Toyota, Apple, and Microsoft organizations shows that they incorporate different strategies in supply chain management, carbon footprint, corporations’ responsibility, and customer relations. Some of these firms focus on the promotion of the company’s transparency, product sourcing based on an ethical approach, encouragement of the use of renewables, as well as community involvement in fulfilling sustainable objectives. Thus, the study also stresses the importance of clarity within communication channels and information reliability for the development of consumers’ trust. It defines factors like the cost and every person’s doubt or disbelief in what is green that prevents an extensive use of green products. Altogether, this research contributes useful knowledge for companies wanting to implement suitable green marketing initiatives that would be appealing to eco-aware consumers. It is clear that implementing corporate practice according to the customer expectation and practicing transparency would not only increase the brand value but also the customer loyalty and which in longer runs would also help in supporting and implementing sustainable development goals across the world.

Assessment of supply chain efficiency through a sustainable supply chain management strategy in the textile sector

The textile industry processes fiber into yarn or fabric. Problems often faced by textile companies are delays in raw materials, which result in the production and distribution of fabrics not reaching the target, so consumers are unsatisfied and switch to competing companies.
