“…As addressed by Li and Ni (2016), the repeat of a task leads to an improvement in the efficiency of systems. LBD occurs by accumulating knowledge and skills over time and efficiency can be improved by accumulating knowledge and skills (Shee and Stefanou, 2016;Arrow, 1971). Given the vital role of LBD in the reduction of time and cost (Pan and Li, 2016), the LBD was considered to assess the sustainability of supply chains.…”

PurposeThis paper discusses how learning-by-doing (LBD) criterion can be used to evaluate the sustainability of supply chains. This paper assesses the impacts of teamwork on the LBD criterion. Besides, the effect of the internship of new labors on the LBD criterion is discussed.Design/methodology/approachThe repeat of a task leads to a gradual improvement in the efficiency of production systems. LBD occurs by accumulating knowledge and skills in multiple periods. LBD can be used to study changes in the efficiency. Efficiency can be improved by accumulating knowledge and skills. In this paper, the LBD criterion is projected on learning curve (LC) models. Furthermore, the LC models are fitted to the supply chains. Each supply chain may have a unique LC model. A minimum difference is set between the current performance of decision making unit (DMU) and the estimated performance of DMU based on DMU's LC. Hence, a point in which the LBD occurs is determined.FindingsThis paper develops an inverse network dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to assess the sustainability of supply chains DMUs. Findings imply that the LBD criterion plays an important role in assessing the sustainability of supply chains. Furthermore, managers should increase the internships and teamwork to get more benefit from the LBD criterion.Originality/valueFor the first time, this paper uses the LBD criterion to assess the sustainability of supply chains given the LC equations.

“…LBD can be used to The sustainability of supply chains study changes in the efficiency (Sweerts et al, 2020). Efficiency can be improved by accumulating knowledge and skills (Shee and Stefanou, 2016). Process and product innovations are another aspects of using LBD (Pan and Li, 2016).…”

“…X i;j;t is a vector of control variables that captures potential impacts on productivity of firm's specifics. These include age representing learning-by-doing effects (Du et al, 2021;Shee and Stefanou, 2016), market share as a source of market power that potentially affects productivity (Liu et al, 2022;Dixon and Lim, 2018), capital intensity as a proxy to the ability to innovate for growth (Chen, 2020;Dupuy and de Grip, 2006), labor (in log form) as a proxy to firm size that might be associated with productivity evolvement (Patel and Conklin, 2012;Angelini and Generale, 2008) and export (in log form) (Fryges and Wagner, 2008). Z j;p;t is a vector of variables that capture the sector and provincial specifics including the share of foreign investment (FDIshare j;t ) and Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI p;t Þ capturing the overall provincial governance quality and business environment.…”

PurposeThis analysis examines the relationship between corruption and firm productivity in Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply the system generalized method of moments estimation approach on a panel dataset constructed from comprehensive enterprise surveys covering all the sectors over the 2011–2020 period.FindingsThe results confirm a non-linear relationship between corruption and firm productivity. Where corruption is severe, leaving corruption alone tends to benefit firm productivity because efforts to control corruption are likely to cause greater delays. In less corrupt provinces, corruption appears to harm firm productivity while efforts to control corruption provide significant productivity gains. This U-shaped relationship is confirmed for small firms and those in the private sector sub-samples. Intriguingly, this study reveals that the U-shaped relationship does not apply to micro, medium, large firms, state-owned firms and foreign-invested firms because corruption is found to have no significant impact on productivity among these sub-samples. Changes in regulations after 2014 toward promoting a transparent business environment are shown to foster the positive impact of lowering corruption on firm productivity.Research limitations/implicationsThis study suggests that lowering corruption is beneficial for firm productivity at the micro level. However, where corruption is severe, monitoring corruption alone is likely to cause adverse effects on productivity due to increased bureaucratic delays. Institutional reforms might play an important role in leveraging the effects of lowering corruption on productivity in highly corrupt areas.Originality/valueThis paper sheds new light on the relationship between corruption and firm productivity in the broad existing literature and especially in the limited number of studies for Vietnam.
