“…Table 4 shows a positive and significant (2007), Smith et al (2008) and McLean et al (2014) who noted that it is essential for firms to adopt the appropriate MAS design in order to obtain relevant cost and control information in making strategic decisions. Besides, the motivation to adopt more sophisticated MAS design could also be due to most of the manufacturing firms are striving to achieve various ISO certificates and the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) status as a result of the volatile economic environment and increasing customized demands (Chen and Li Li 2013). In order to achieve such status, firms are attracted to adopt more advanced manufacturing technologies in order to cope with the business changes (Chen and Li Li 2013).…”

A more sophisticated MAS design is needed to ensure that the top management receives relevant information for decision making purposes as the traditional MAS design is unable to effectively help managers to identify relevant costs and manage their resources.…”

“…The results of previous empirical researches show that SCIS is conducive to improving the accuracy of sales forecasting, conducting simultaneous development, coordinating inventory and improving company OP (Wu et al, 2014;Kembro et al, 2017;Chen and Li, 2013). Studies by Paulraj et al (2008) also show that information communication between organizations is conducive to the improvement of the operating performance of supply and demand (Paulraj et al, 2008).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel research model to examine the relationship among information sharing (IS), supply chain integration (SCI), operational performance (OP) and business performance (BP) in the fashion supply chains. Design/methodology/approach A survey of 247 executives from Chinese fashion brand firms was conducted and the data were analyzed to investigate how IS affects the organizational BP. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to study the relationship among IS, SCI, OP and BP. Findings The empirical research results indicate that IS is critical to enhance the SCI and OP, and both SCI and OP exert mediating effects on BP of fashion brands. This result also reveals constructive suggestions that allow fashion brands to strengthen their SCI and OP, as well as BP. Research limitations/implications Multiple data sources were applied to develop the sampling frame, and respondents were selected (according to their experience and position) to ensure they had the knowledge and expertise to provide valid response. However, this could not guarantee the adequacy of the sample. This limitation is compounded by the reliance on a simple respondent per firm, which precludes testing for inter-rater reliability. Practical implications The empirical findings provide an enhanced understanding of the relationship among IS, SCI, OP and BP in Chinese fashion brand settings. The research results will help fashion brands to improve supply chain efficiency and enhance company performance. Originality/value Although previous studies have realized that the value of IS varies in different industries, few have specifically explored the impact on the fashion industry characterized by short life cycles, high volatility, low predictability and high impulse purchasing. To fill this knowledge gap, the present study employed a questionnaire survey and SEM techniques to explore the relationship among IS, SCI, OP and BP in the fashion supply chain. Comprehending the impact mechanism of IS on organizational performance can provide useful management insights into the development of effective strategies that allow enterprise to improve BP.

“…Furthermore, the membership of these teams is frequently diffuse and fluid, with team members rotating on and off the team as their expertise is needed. Thus, the networked team is different from a project team in that the membership is not always clearly delineated from the rest of the organization, and a final product is not always clearly defined, but can often be a recommendation (Chen and Li, 2013). The networked team is often found in consulting firms and in high-tech organizations.…”

Jordanian companies need virtual project teams that can use advanced technology to solve problems and make specialist multi perspective decisions when working across different and distance location. The main mission of the team is to make decisions through interdependent specialists and perspectives. In terms of its use and application, the virtual project team is a difficult challenge for Jordan corporations. This study aims to explore such applications and to detect which factors face virtual project teams in the Jordanian situation. The author focused on how to explore and gain a deeper understanding from a virtual team's perspective, and team members' opinions of the factors in the organization that support or hinder the mission. More specifically, this research sought to discover precisely which factors in an organization support virtual project teams, and how they can develop a support system which enables their work in an Arab environment. The main objective was to identify the effects of all factors on the efficiency of virtual teams. The research used empirical case studies from three Jordanian corporations in the communication sector which operate in a high-tech environment, and used surveys to collect data. Structured interviews with both management and team members during the study discovered that the use of virtual teams within Jordanian companies is still limited, and detected that the main factors which hinder their development in many corporations is the level of trust in the ability of virtual teams, together with the high level of centralized decision making in Jordanian corporations. Additionally, communication and coordination affect the execution of work processes and methods for virtual teams, together with a general weakness which exists in terms of infrastructure, resources and technology within the corporation, which then impacts on the efficiency of virtual team work.
