Abstract

This study provides a systematic quantitative assessment technique (SQAT) of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) research conducted between 2012 and 2021, focusing on the transport and logistics sector. This review aims to map and evaluate global Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) research trends within the transport and logistics sector published between 2012 and 2021. A total of 100 EO-related publications from 34 countries were reviewed, with the majority published in 2019, by European scholars. Among all contributing nations, the United States recorded the highest number of EO publications. Most of the reviewed studies employed empirical approaches, while a smaller proportion were conceptual in nature. Four primary data collection methods were identified (surveys, secondary data, interviews, and observations), with surveys emerging as the most dominant technique. The review further revealed three major thematic areas: EO magnitude, EO consequences, and EO mechanisms, with the magnitude dimension receiving the greatest scholarly attention. The authors highlight the need for increased EO research in underrepresented regions such as South America and Australasia and advocate for more conceptual contributions to balance the dominance of empirical works. They also recommend the adoption of qualitative and mixed-method approaches to generate deeper insights, the use of qualitative and mixed-method approaches is recommended because they provide deeper insights and a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem. These methods combine numerical data with participants’ experiences and perspectives, ensuring richer, more reliable, and contextually meaningful findings. particularly within studies focusing on EO consequences and mechanisms.

Abstract

Global supply chains face growing vulnerability from pandemics, geopolitical instability, and logistics uncertainty, making risk management a strategic priority. This study investigates determinants of supply chain risk mitigation strategies, implementation challenges, and resilience-building practices among manufacturing firms in Makassar, Indonesia. Using a qualitative multiple-case study design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with supply chain, procurement, and operations managers across multiple manufacturing subsectors, analyzed through thematic analysis combining open, axial, and selective coding with cross-case comparison. Findings reveal that supplier reliability and business continuity are the primary mitigation determinants, with firms prioritizing production continuity over short-term cost efficiency. Implementation is constrained by financial limitations, inter-island logistics uncertainty, limited supplier transparency, and uneven digital integration. Firms respond by combining supplier diversification, long-term partnerships, collaborative planning, strategic inventory, and cross-functional coordination. Resilience emerges through the interaction of relational, organizational, informational, and structural capabilities rather than any single mechanism. The study contributes qualitative evidence from an emerging economy context, demonstrating that effective mitigation strategies are shaped by organizational capabilities, contextual conditions, and collaborative relationships, while offering policy insights for improving logistics infrastructure, digital integration, and regional supply chain collaboration.

Abstract

Container ports are strategically vital to international trade and national logistics, making operational efficiency essential for competitiveness. While prior research has largely measured efficiency through quantitative methods, limited attention has been given to how frontline practitioners perceive and achieve efficiency in daily operations. This study explores port operators' perceptions of operational efficiency, its facilitating factors, barriers, and improvement strategies in Indonesian container ports. A qualitative interpretivist approach was used, involving semi-structured interviews with twelve experienced port operators selected purposively and analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings show operational efficiency is perceived as a multidimensional capability involving vessel services, resource utilization, berth/yard management, equipment reliability, stakeholder coordination, and digital systems. Key drivers include cross-agency coordination, skilled human resources, accurate planning, and digital technologies (Port Community Systems, Terminal Operating Systems, Smart Port initiatives). Barriers include yard congestion, limited berth capacity, equipment failures, and fragmented digital platforms. The study concludes that sustainable efficiency requires integrated coordination, governance, digital integration, and stakeholder collaboration, offering practical insights for Smart Port implementation.

Abstract

Supply chain collaboration is increasingly important for food manufacturing SMEs facing fluctuating demand, volatile prices, and frequent supply disruptions. This study explores how food manufacturing SMEs in Malang, Indonesia, collaborate with suppliers and distributors, identifies factors facilitating and hindering collaboration, and examines mechanisms sustaining long-term collaborative relationships. A qualitative multiple case study design was used between June and August 2024. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with thirteen purposively selected informants, including SME owners, managers, purchasing and logistics officers, suppliers, and distributors. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis, involving coding, category development, within-case analysis, and cross-case comparison. Credibility was strengthened through triangulation and member checking. Findings show collaboration is characterized by regular communication, information sharing, production planning, and supplier flexibility. Trust emerged as the main governance mechanism supporting flexible payments, supplier prioritization, and reciprocal problem-solving. Information on demand, inventory, and delivery schedules was mainly exchanged via WhatsApp and shared spreadsheets. Although collaboration improved coordination, SMEs still faced challenges from price volatility, demand uncertainty, and supplier capacity constraints. Digital tools enhanced collaboration only when embedded in trust-based relationships with timely information sharing. Long-term relationships were sustained through payment reliability, consistent quality, and mutual support. The study concludes that collaboration among Indonesian food manufacturing SMEs is predominantly relationship-based rather than contract-driven, with relational governance and digital tools strengthening resilience under uncertainty.

Abstract

Maritime logistics plays a strategic role in international trade by integrating organizations responsible for vessel operations, cargo handling, customs clearance, inland transportation, and information management. As port operations grow more complex, effective stakeholder coordination has become essential for operational efficiency and supply chain performance. However, qualitative evidence on how coordination operates within emerging-economy ports, particularly Indonesia, remains limited. This study examines coordination practices among maritime logistics stakeholders at Makassar Port, identifies facilitating and constraining factors, and develops a conceptual understanding of stakeholder coordination. A qualitative multiple case study was conducted at Makassar Port between March and June 2025, using semi-structured interviews with eleven purposively selected stakeholders spanning the Port Authority, terminal operator, shipping company, freight forwarder, trucking company, customs office, and other agencies, supplemented by observations and document analysis, and analyzed through thematic coding. Findings show coordination as a multidimensional process combining formal governance, digital systems, and interpersonal collaboration. Communication, trust, real-time information sharing, and digital integration facilitate coordination, while schedule disruptions, congestion, fragmented systems, and regulatory complexity constrain it. Proposed strategies include strengthening the Port Community System, improving platform interoperability, and building stakeholder capacity. The study concludes that coordination is a strategic capability shaped by technology, relationships, and governance, offering theoretical and practical implications for Indonesian maritime logistics systems.

Abstract

Employee dissatisfaction within Nigeria’s transport and logistics regulatory bodies continues to undermine productivity, hinder green logistics initiatives, and constrain sustainable performance due to persistent gaps in policy implementation and organizational practices. This study investigates the role of reward systems as a strategic driver of employee productivity, positioning it as a key catalyst for promoting green logistics adoption and overall sustainability in these agencies. Employing purposive sampling across 10 major regulatory bodies, the survey received responses from 2,899 staff members. However, only 2,836 responses were deemed valid and were subsequently considered for the analysis. Data analysis combined descriptive statistics including means, percentages, and standard deviations with econometric techniques such as Pearson correlation and multiple and logistic regression models. The findings indicate that reward systems (β = 0.609, p<0.05) have a significant positive effect on employee productivity. Moreover, the work environment was found to moderate this relationship, further enhancing sustainable performance outcomes. Based on these results, the study emphasizes the importance of structured and optimized reward programs that recognize outstanding contributions, urging government agencies to implement them to improve productivity, foster green logistics practices, and ensure long-term sustainability within Nigeria’s transport regulatory framework.
