“…According to Ahmad and Afthanorhan , [100], PLS-SEM analysis finds the importance of the constructs by extracting the estimation of the direct effect, non-direct effect and the total number of relationships between the model constructs. For Colicev et al, [101], the IPMA is an important analysis method to develop the variables with high performance and current low performance in the model. Also, this type of analysis helps organisations to recognise the high constructs' performance to give these constructs consideration in the future and to identify the low constructs' performance to enhance future performance [102].…”

Purpose: This paper studies organisational and personal factors affecting the behaviour of academic staff in Saudi universities. It seeks to investigate the beliefs of academic staff regarding the use of ICT and other factors to enhance the productivity of their scientific research. Also, this study aims to improve the sustainability of publication in Saudi universities. ICT includes using the library system for accessing research repository databases such as Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, etc. and other factors. The authors also developed the Importance Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) for these factors in order to provide guidelines for Saudi universities to build university systems to manage and measure the research productivity of academic staff. In summary, this research identifies factors critical to enhancing research productivity in Saudi universities. This will help to improve the sustainability of publication in Saudi universities. By enhancing the sustainability of publication, the reputation of Saudi universities will be improved and the reputation of academic staff in Saudi universities. As well the sustainability of publication will assist the promote of Saudi academic staff. Approach: This paper analysed 200 papers related to the enhancement of research productivity from various research databases such as Science Direct, IEEE and Scopus. We included the usage of ICT in research analysis, university policy, university research funding and the number of publications published by academic staff. The authors used different databases and systematic literature reviews (SLR) to find the most important factors which could improve research productivity in universities. An online questionnaire answered by 375 academic staff from four developing Saudi universities that are Taif University, Taibah University, Jeddah University, Hail University-was used to determine the relationship between information technology factors and research performance together with other factors such as university policy, international collaboration, research funding and job satisfaction. In this study, we used SmartPLS v3 to analyse the results from the questionnaires. Findings: The results show that personal factors such as personal use of ICT and organisational factors such as job satisfaction, university policy, IT funding, international collaboration and the level of ICT use in the university have positive effects on scientific research productivity among academic staff at Saudi universities. Those results are based on the beliefs of academic staff regarding the use of information Sustainability 2019, 11, 4804 2 of 28 technology for research purposes and other factors. This paper finds that university policy recorded an importance of 0.523, job satisfaction was 0.224, international collaboration was 0.103, personal use of ICT was 0.102, the level of using ICT in the university was 0.074 and the importance of ICT funding was -0.156. Also, the results from SmartPLS show that university policy has a 0.215 effect size on res...

“…Because this study aims to build knowledge on the existing state-of-the-art, we identify items from the literature to measure the constructs of SI and OP. We investigate the SI construct through the following measures: collaborative work with key suppliers in product and process innovations (SI1) (De Giovanni et al , 2013), integrated efforts with key suppliers to develop new technologies (SI2) (Colicev et al , 2016), sharing of production planning scheduling (SI3) (Flynn et al , 2010), information sharing with suppliers through a coordinated information system (SI4) (Huo, 2012) and key suppliers’ involvement in the implementation of logistics networks (SI5) (Colicev et al , 2016). By using these variables, SI represents a measure of the firm’s capacity to integrate with suppliers while innovation components entirely push the integration.…”

“…Das et al (2006) suggest that SI begins with more internal practices (e.g. Wagner, 2003; Colicev et al , 2016) but then proceeds to more external integration initiatives such as inter-firm collaborations. SI is considered an essential component of an SC strategy (e.g.…”

“…The degree of SI can depend on technological resources, such as electronic data interchange systems or knowledge-generating initiatives, such as cross-functional teams or collaborative problem solving (Das et al , 2006). SI is a useful tool for achieving high levels of OP (Das et al , 2006), improving new product development (Lau et al , 2010), extending the partnership life cycle (Colicev et al , 2016) and communicating the performance achieved together with suppliers (Cousins and Menguc, 2006).…”

“…Integration with suppliers within an SC can have huge implications for the production process as well as performance. Following Colicev et al (2016), we identify two main types of OP, namely, internal and external OP.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether implementing certain innovation strategies and adopting a portfolio of innovations improve the relationship between supplier integration (SI) and operational performance (OP). Design/methodology/approach The authors test several research hypotheses by using a data set of 173 firms. Data were collected by interviewing managers, presidents and directors, from ten European countries and across nine different industries. The authors use structural equation modeling to estimate the relationships between SI and OP. The authors apply multi-group analysis to test the effects of certain innovation strategies and a portfolio of innovations on these relationships. Findings The authors show that SI improves internal OP but has no direct effect on external OP. The latter can only be improved through well-performing internal operations. The adoption of an incremental product innovation strategy improves the relationship between internal and external OP and leads to more effective SI. Other types of innovations do not help in improving the impact of SI on OP. Finally, the adoption of a portfolio of innovations does not enhance the influence of SI on OP. Thus, firms should focus on a small number of innovations rather than expanding their innovation portfolio to improve the effectiveness of SI on OP. Practical implications When firms aim to improve the impact of SI on OP, they should concentrate on incremental product innovations. Other strategies obtained by combining process, incremental and radical innovations are not adequate for that purpose. An expanded portfolio of innovations does not improve the effect of supplier innovation on OP. Originality/value This research suggests how the impact of SI on OP can be improved by adopting certain innovation strategies and without diversifying the portfolio of innovation projects.
