“…The interplay and mutual coordination of the TBL contribute to supply chain sustainability. Only by thoroughly assessing each of these three facets can the performance of the sustainable supply chain be evaluated in its entirety and with objectivity [ 31 ]. Therefore, in this study, sustainable supply chain performance indicators are extracted from the economic, environmental, and social dimensions based on the connotation of sustainable supply chains and TBL theory.…”

The establishment of an evaluation indicator system that can accurately assess the sustainability of a supply chain while further enhancing its performance is vital and relevant. Based on the connotation of sustainable supply chains and triple bottom line theory, indicators are initially proposed from economic, environmental, and social dimensions. To increase the explanatory power of the indicator system and decrease information redundancy, the coefficient of variation is applied to identify the indicators with weak interpretation intensity, the ill-conditioned index cycle method is utilized to filter out indicators with redundant information, and data on 100 Chinese listed companies from 2019 to 2021 are used as samples. A performance evaluation indicator system of sustainable supply chains with 16 indicators is ultimately established. The information interpretation strength index and cumulative information contribution rate verify the rationality of the final indicator system. The outcome demonstrates that this screening method can strengthen the representativeness of the indicator system and rapidly reduce redundancy, leading to the better discrimination of the evaluation results. The findings of this study provide an indicator system and a methodological reference for both companies and policymakers and can aid in the transformation of supply chains toward sustainability.

“…According to Siderska (2020) and Eloundou et al (2023), RPA is a driver of digital transformation and can provide several benefits to an organization, including (a) efficiency and productivity (Hou et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2022), (b) accuracy, (c) cost reduction, (d) improved customer experience (Hou et al, 2022), and (e) increased scalability enabling managers to use RPA as a driver for manufacturers to improve productivity, meet consumer expectations, and continuously drive low-cost product innovation (Shet & Pereira, 2021). In this line, Porter and Kramer (2011) suggest that the adoption of this technology can improve efficiency and productivity, which, in turn, can allow companies to invest in higher value-added areas and ultimately create higher-quality and better-paid jobs.…”

Companies are immersed in a process of digitalization that transforms business models and creates value due to the increase in technology. The adoption of new technologies has a great impact on organizations, not only at an economic level but also on their products, processes, and human resources. This process will result in a series of necessary changes to align with their internal competencies and optimize the investment made. This digitalization generates a digital transformation that affects both large companies and SMEs, with the result that new technologies are subject to continuous change, requiring the development and training of workers with the necessary skills to cope with it. Within this transformation, the automation of processes is a constantly growing topic in the business world, as it generates a series of benefits for organizations that they would not otherwise be able to acquire. Process automation reduces the workload in repetitive processes and provides more time for employees to attend to end-customer requests. The adoption of this technology will provide the company to be adapted to a changing world experiencing an increase in productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency. This research focuses on how the process automation provides the organization with a wide range of benefits such as workload reduction and increased productivity for most of the company. Although process automation can bring many benefits to the workplace, it is important to recognize that its use does not always automatically lead to a systematic improvement of workers’ skills. In this context, it is also important to note how employee training is necessary to face this new reality. Employee training and adaptation is critical to the organization’s sustainability. Training will need to be aimed at equipping the employee with technical skills to enable them to effectively use and implement technology and to assimilate it as a complement and not as a threat. To analyse the individual’s awareness of the digitization of the workplace, the automation of tasks and the advantages or disadvantages that may result from the introduction of technology, a questionnaire was developed, and 103 valid responses were obtained and analysed. This has resulted in a series of hypotheses that have been tried to be validate throughout the research work. These results have important implications for organizations seeking to implement automation and provide a basis for future research in this constantly evolving field.

“…The results of Johnsen's co-integration confirmed the long-run relationship between gold and stock market returns, whereas Granger causality approach found no short-run relationship between gold price and stock market return. They determined that gold is the safe avenue for investors of Indian stock market (Hou, Khokhar, Sharma, Sarkar, & Hossain, 2023).…”

This study examined the asymmetrical implications of gold and oil prices, as well as the implied volatility that goes along with them, on the performance of Pakistan's stock market. It was used Chicago Board of Options Exchange’s GVZ and OVX index for measuring volatility in gold market and oil market respectively due to more uncertainty in commodity markets and also took historical price movements, investor’s expectations regarding global prices into account. The monthly data used from October 2009 to January 2023. An ARDL approach was employed for checking short term and long term asymmetrical. The results of ARDL revealed that oil volatility index have significant impact of Pakistan’s stock market in short-run and long-run. The Gold Volatility Index shows significant impact after one month on both stock market capitalization and KSE 100 indexes in the short run. Fluctuations in worldwide commodity prices have a significant influence on underdeveloped economies like Pakistan and have a negative effect on the entire economy. The volatility and fluctuations in oil prices lead to higher production costs, which create uncertainty in companies' cash flows.
