“…The above statement is proven through the total and significant effect, which the LTV Integration of ICTs has on the variable Implementation of a GSC. In addition to that, Gunasekaran, et al [57] mention the importance of involving ICT in the implementation of GSC, since this allows the collaboration and exchange of data and information, generating agility in decision making. Besides, Lee, Ooi, Chong and Seow [22] mention that having ICT integrated and updated through a GSC, a series of financial, productive and environmental benefits are created only if the companies see the adoption and implementation of the GSC as an advantage.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its technological updates on the success of the green supply chain (GSC) implementation, as well as the benefits this affords. This research is applied to the Mexican maquiladora export industry. A model of structural equations is presented to know the importance of the integration of ICT, combined with the implementation of GSC and the generation of benefits with the use of ICT. The results indicate that there is a direct, positive effect (PE) and significant among the four latent variables (LTV) analyzed but the most noteworthy is the indirect effect that the variable updating the ICT has on the benefits of GSC, through the variable mediators' implementation of a GSC, since the direct effect of updating the ICT on the benefits of the implementation of GSC does not become significant. Whereby, it is recommended that the industry integrates and updates its ICT since, using the integrated and updated ICT and the implementation of a GSC, a series of economic, productive and environmental benefits will be created.

Introduction: Most (90.6%) nursing education quality in East Java is still low. That is because the quality improvement process in nursing education generally has been conducted partially (random performance improvement). A solution which might be help would be to identify a proper quality improvement model in nursing education toward competitive advantage. Method: This research used a survey to gain the data. The research sample was 16 Muhammadiyah Universities chosen using simple random sampling. The data were collected with questionnaires of 174 questions and a documentation study. Data analysis used was Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique. Result: The nursing education profile in Muhammadiyah Universities in Indonesia showed of 10 years establishment, accredited B and the competition level in one city/regency was averagely more than three Universities becoming the competitors. The quality improvement model analysis of nursing education towards competitive advantage in Muhammadiyah Universities was directly affected by the focus of learning and operational process through human resources management improvement; on the other hand information systems also directly affected quality improvement and quality process components: leadership, human resources, focus of learning and operational process. Improving human resources would directly influence proper strategic planning. Strategy planning was directly influenced by leadership. Thus, in improving the quality of nursing education, the leadership role of the department, proper information systems, and the human resources management improvement must be implemented. Discussion: A quality improvement model in nursing education was directly determined with learning and operational process through human resources management along with information systems, strategy planning factors, and leadership. The research findings could be developed in the quality analysis application program.

“…It is thus understandable that many companies have to develop IT strategies as a source to facilitate obtaining and using information so that they can remain in the increasingly competitive market. The existence of flexible IT infrastructures, along with the knowledge to manage it and integrate the company's strategies with IT practices, can have a positive impact on the competitive position of companies and guarantees the quality of SC (Liu et al,2016;Gunasekaran et al, 2017). Thus, due to the considerable effect of IT on the other affairs of the organization, it can be concluded that it will have a noticeable impact on SC as well (Huo et al, 2015;Qrunfleh and Tarafdar, 2015).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a better understanding of how information technology (IT) competency and knowledge management (KM) contribute to service supply chain (SSC) (coordination, collaboration and efficiency) practices in the hospitality industry. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on tourism businesses, this study tests the structural relationships of IT competency, KM and SSC. Structural equation modeling is performed to test the hypotheses. A survey of 494 hotels in Iran provided empirical evidence for the existence of interrelationships between multiple constructs. Findings The analysis demonstrated that IT competency is significantly associated with KM. Furthermore, SSC practices are found to be directly impacted by KM and IT competency. Originality/value This study unpacks the mechanism that operates between IT competency, KM and SSC and contributes to the academic research on SSC in the context of the hospitality industry.
