SCRGD: Supply Chain Resilience in the Face of Global Disruptions
- Abstract: Supply chain resilience (SCR) has emerged as a critical focus in response to the increasing frequency of global disruptions, including pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and climate change. This study explores the integration of resilience strategies with sustainability performance metrics to address these disruptions and enhance long-term supply chain performance. A conceptual framework is proposed, emphasizing resilience strategies such as flexibility, redundancy, and digital transformation, aligned with sustainability indicators like carbon footprint reduction, resource efficiency, and social responsibility. Case studies from disrupted supply chains, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, are used to analyze the impact of resilience on sustainability. The findings reveal syner- gies between resilience strategies and sustainability metrics, demonstrating that collaborative and adaptive supply chain practices not only mitigate risks but also contribute to sustainable development goals. However, trade-offs, such as increased environmental costs due to redundancy, are noted, underscoring the need for energy-efficient practices. The study offers actionable insights for practitioners, advocating for digital transformation, multisourcing, and stakeholder collaboration as pathways to enhance resilience and achieve sustainability. Theoretical contributions include bridging the gap between resilience and sustainability while enriching systems theory and the triple bottom line framework. Future research directions are proposed to address gaps in sustainability measurement, focusing on advanced analytics and the social dimensions of supply chain management.

A Study on the Construction of Chinese Food Enterprises' Integrity
Evaluation System：A Consumer Perspective
- Abstract: With the heightened awareness of global public health issues, which has increasingly drawn attention to the topic of food safety, the integrity of food enterprises has emerged as a central focus in society.Previous research on corporate integrity in the food industry has largely been conducted from the perspectives of government and management. This paper attempts to construct a corporate integrity evaluation system from the consumer perspective, thereby addressing a gap in the current research landscape. In this study, we collected consumers’ views on corporate integrity through a questionnaire survey and analyzed the data using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0. This paper ultimately constructs a corporate integrity evaluation system comprising four factors, six dimensions, and thirty-two indicators. Notably, a newly identified factor arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, termed “epidemic prevention integrity,” clearly demonstrates its significant influence on corporate integrity.

A Study of the Elements of Corporate Apology Letters on Social Media
- Abstract: With the rise of social media, enterprises are increasingly confronted with challenges in crisis communication, as platforms like Weibo amplify public scrutiny and accelerate the spread of information. In this context, corporate apology letters have become a crucial tool for managing and mitigating the consequences of a crisis. This paper explores the key elements and effects of apology letters within the Chinese food and beverage industry on Weibo. Utilizing a questionnaire survey for data collection, and SPSS27.0 for statistical analysis, the study employs reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to test the research question. The findings reveal that admission of mistakes, emphasis on corporate culture, and solemn commitment exhibit a strong positive correlation with apology satisfaction, thereby being pivotal elements in an effective apology framework. Conversely, while maintaining public relations, repeated apologies, and expressions of gratitude show moderate positive correlations, they have no linear relationship. The research contributes a comprehensive framework for crafting corporate apology letters, offering valuable insights for enhancing crisis management strategies. The findings have significant implications for theoretical development and practical application in crisis communication.

Can Sharia-Compliance Protect the Financial Performance of Companies from
the Effect of Value Added Tax
- Abstract: Sharia-compliant companies differ from other companies in its financing sources and business activities. These differences may affect its ability to protect its financial performance from changes in tax policies. The main queries in this study were whether value-added tax can affect the financial performance of companies and whether sharia-compliance can mitigate that effect. To answer these queries, a quantitative research method was utilized using data about listed companies in Abu Dhabi stock exchange in the United Arab Emirates. Data were collected from the financial reports of the listed companies for two years before the imposing of VAT in UAE (2016, 2017) and for two years after the VAT imposition and before the pandemic of COVID-19 (2018, 2019). Collected data were used to calculate financial ratios for the included companies first and then these ratios were further analyzed using Nonparametric regression. Conclusions of this study indicated that VAT had a negative and insignificant effect on the financial performance of all companies while this effect is positive and insignificant for Sharia-non-compliant companies implying that Sharia-compliance cannot mitigate the negative effect of VAT.

A Review of Informal Economy in China’s Urban-Rural Interfaces
(URIs)—Analysis from the Angle of Historical Geography
- Abstract: With accelerated urbanization in China, urban-rural interfaces (URIs) of varied characteristics emerge across the nation. As the frontline and a crucial link between urban and rural areas, URIs have provided an alternate position for urbanization and economic expansion. Among all the economic forms there, informal economy brings both opportunities and threats. From historical geography, this paper explored the historical development of informal economy in URIs, and reviewed previous works on the economy of URIs. Based on historical data, the features and problems of informal economy in URIs are analyzed to provide a basis for healthy development of informal economy in URIs as well as design and practice of relevant policies.

Linking Workers’ Supportive Voice and Task Performance through
Workers’ Perception of Decent Work and Distributive Justice Climate: A
Multilevel Research on the RMG Industry in Bangladesh
- Abstract: Prior scholarly works suggest that workers' promotive behavior and positive perception of decent work enhance performance, and employers prefer and are fair to workers with supportive voice behavior. Nonetheless, Bangladeshi workers tend to display destructive voice behavior, leaving the possibility of exploring the influence of their supportive voice. This study examined the influence of workers' supportive voice on their task performance through the mediation of their perception of decent work and the moderation of distributive justice climate. Data had been collected from 396 working adults in the RMG industry in Bangladesh and analyzed using multilevel path analysis. Based on the social exchange theory, the equity theory, and psychology of working theory, the findings showed a positive relationship between workers' supportive voice and task performance with positive mediation of workers' perception of decent work. Distributive justice climate positively moderates the relationship between workers' supportive voice and workers’ perception of decent work but does not significantly moderate the relationship between workers’ perception of decent work and workers’ task performance. The findings suggest that employers should confirm a fair and just workplace to amplify workers’ supportive behavior, decent work perception, and performance.
