Government of India (GOI) initialized financial inclusion campaign to quell exclusion. The campaign did not gain expected progress. Government employed technologies to speed up the process. Among banking technologies, mobile banking appeared as a possible solution for financial exclusion with wide mobile phone coverage. Inputs on rural people's intention toward technologies for effective financial inclusion were essential. Technology adoption factors, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, attitude, perceived risk, and behavioral intention (BI), were short listed after literature review. Factors were subjected to reliability, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), multiple regression, and interaction analysis. Rural provinces in Karnataka state were surveyed. We used mixed sampling technique to reach 959 samples. Multiple regression-interaction analysis revealed age and gender moderated attitude's path toward BI.

The wine industry is one of the most important income sources in the autonomous community of La Rioja in Spain, and this report is aimed to identify and measure the effect of the latent variables such as Demand, Suppliers, Quality and delivery time on Financial profits for wineries. Latent variables were integrated by the observed variables, and a questionnaire was given to 64 wineries in La Rioja, Spain. A descriptive analysis appears for indicators and latent variables were related using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that there is not a direct effect between an efficient Demand forecasting and Suppliers on the Financial profits for wineries, but there are indirect effects through a Quality and delivery time, the most important variable being analyzed. Managers in wineries must focus their attention on Quality and delivery time to costumers, while having a direct relationship with suppliers. Practical Applications Winery managers must make an effort to have a fast prediction of variants in the forecast and adjust the order to suppliers and production process so that the supply chain can be more agile and with quality and timely deliveries with the final result being the company's financial profit. An agile supply chain with quality products seems to be insignificant for managers in wineries.

“…SEM is considered a third-generation regression analysis technique, since it can associate latent variables in a relational and causal analysis (Avelar-Sosa et al, 2014). Moreover, it is widely used in SC research (Ketkar et al, 2012). In this study, the model was executed using WarpPls 5.0® software, based on Partial Least Squared (PLS) and widely recommended for non-normal data and small samples .…”

This article assesses the impact of human resources skills on production quality, flexibility, and economic performance of La Rioja's wine supply chain. These four elements were integrated as latent variables composed of 15 observed variables and associated through six hypotheses. Data were gathered from 64 wineries located in La Rioja, Spain, and hypotheses were validated in a structural equation model using WarpPLS v.5 software. Results indicate that human resources skills have a positive direct impact on SC flexibility and quality, but not on economic performance; however, these variables are indirectly associated through SC quality and SC flexibility.Keywords: Supply chain, flexibility, quality, economic performance, structural equation model, human resources. RESUMENEl objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto de las habilidades de los recursos humanos en la calidad obtenida en el proceso de producción, la flexibilidad y el desempeño económico de la cadena de suministro del vino en La Rioja (España). Estos elementos fueron analizados como variables latentes, en las que se integraron 15 variables observadas. Asimismo, seis hipótesis fueron planteadas para relacionar estas variables en un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, y fueron probadas usando mínimos cuadrados parciales en el software WarpPLS v.5. Los datos fueron obtenidos de 64 empresas vitivinícolas ubicadas en La Rioja, España. Los resultados indicaron que las capacidades de los recursos humanos tienen un impacto directo y positivo en la flexibilidad y la calidad de la cadena de suministro, pero no en el desempeño económico de la misma; sin embargo, el efecto indirecto es obtenido a través de la calidad y la flexibilidad.Palabras clave: Cadena de suministro, flexibilidad, calidad, desempeño económico, modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, recursos humanos.
