This study explores the effect of manufacturing flexibility on the operational performance of Pharmaceutical manufacturing firms in Jordan, variables such as of machine, volume, material handling, mix, and routing flexibilities are selected to represent the manufacturing flexibility dimension while quality, cost, speed and reliability are chosen to represent operational performance.A survey questionnaire was distributed for that purpose to the subjects who belong to different departments or divisions in the production function. The study revealed that manufacturing flexibility is being adopted to a moderate extent, while the operational performance is impressively high. Testing hypothesis indicated that the manufacturing flexibility dimensions have a significant effect on the operational hypothesis performance of the pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Today's world organizations are searching for ways to minimize the cost and maximize the efficiency of each cycle of their supply chain, such as procurement, manufacturing, and distribution, particularly for those that handle multiple supply chains. Cloud computing technology emerges as an effective tool that, according to some researches, contributes to firms' effectiveness and competiveness by providing the right infrastructure and business solutions for the entire supply chain via the Internet.This study aims to shed more light on the prospects of cloud computing in supply chain management. More specifically, with focus on cloud computing's suitability and benefits by offering a thorough review and analysis to previous and current research, including all types of published materials that lead to an adequate answer for the main research problem, as follows:What are the prospects and benefits of cloud computing technology in the supply chain of business organizations?This research method relies solely on secondary data, such as research papers, reference materials, conference proceedings, and all types of reliable data that serve the purpose of this paper.The major conclusion of this study is that; Organizations that work in a more turbulent environment are the ones that feel the effect of the cloud computing technology on their supply chain performance compared to those that work in a more stable business environment. ISSN 1941-899X 2016 www.macrothink.org/jmr 146 Therefore, the degree of importance of cloud computing adoption varies from one sector to another, therefore, cloud computing-if adopted properly-can improve the supply chain performance in terms of cost, quality, speed, and flexibility.

The prime aim of this study, is to find out if the Commercial Banks in Almafarq Governorate in Jordan have the
suitable and healthy learning environment through the presence of the learning organization dimensions, which
were identified by (Watkins and Marsick 1996, 2003), The Commercial Banks operating in the governorate of
Mafraq were chosen to be the focus of this study. The population of the study consisted of all employees of these
commercial banks, and because of their limited number, the researchers, took all of them as the entire population
of the study to make results more credible and tenable.
The major finding of this study states that, Commercial Banks in the city of Mafraq are learning organizations,
but the presence of learning environment is just slightly above average, and therefore, the management of these
branches needs extra efforts in the future to nurture the learning culture.

This study aimed at studying the conflict handling styles impact on employees' affective, normative and continuance commitment, at the Pharmaceutical companies in Jordan, its population consisted of all the 14 Pharmaceutical companies in Jordan that are members of the Jordanian association of pharmaceutical manufacturers (JAPM).The respondents to this research and unit of analysis were specified as all the managers who belong to different managerial levels. The rationale for choosing managers is that they have adequate knowledge to answer the study questionnaire and tend to provide unbiased answers.The researcher applied (Rahim, 1983a) organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II) to assess the conflict handling styles, and adopted (Meyer & Allen, 1997). The employee commitment construct was to measure employees' commitment, 253 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 215 were retrieved, and 30 questionnaires did not meet the criteria of statistical analysis, therefore, only 185 were valid for conducting data analysis.The results of the study have shown that conflict handling styles affect employees' affective, normative and continuance commitment at the Pharmaceutical companies in Jordan.

This paper studies the impact of internal lean dimensions on the manufacturing based quality of food processing companies in Jordan, variables such as, pull systems, continuous flow, setup time reduction, total productive maintenance, statistical process control, and employee involvement were chosen to represent the internal lean dimensions, and were assumed to have an affect manufacturing based quality.A survey questionnaire was distributed for that purpose to those who occupy positions in the production department and eligible enough to give accurate and unbiased responses to the items of the questionnaire. The results of the study revealed that; the Internal Lean Dimensions have a significant impact on the manufacturing based product quality, manifested by, lower food products reprocessing, conforming to high quality standards, lower defects rate, less interruptive breakdowns, which helped food processing companies in delivering their products according to agreed upon schedule and the optimization of the utilization of their manufacturing resources, such as machines and equipments, raw materials, and labor force.
