Summary: This study proposes a conceptual framework for supply chain innovation based on the ambidextrous capabilities of purpose, span, and orientation. Five propositions explain the link between these capabilities and supply chain innovation. It is an early attempt to explore how supply chains can facilitate a more open approach towards innovation based on existing theories and literature on open innovation and supply chain collaboration.

Summary: This study explores the influence of green supply chain information integration on supply chain process ambidexterity, as well as the mediation and boundary conditions. The findings suggest that IT system integration effectively promotes information sharing in green supply chain enterprises. Supply chain dynamic capability partially mediates the relationship between IT system integration, information sharing, and supply chain process ambidexterity. Additionally, networking ability positively moderates the relationship between absorptive capacity, innovation capacity, and supply chain process ambidexterity.

Summary: This paper introduces the concept of dynamic openness, which refers to the temporal changes in external knowledge search strategies. The study shows that firms do utilize different dynamic openness strategies over time, leveraging their learning from past searches. For process innovation, firms should pursue an opening up strategy instead of a persistent open strategy, while for product innovation, firms could pursue either strategy, emphasizing important contextual differences.

Summary: This study evaluates the usage of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in the field of logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) by reviewing 401 articles published in 15 major journals between 2014 and 2022. The findings suggest that some researchers in LSCM did not clarify the reasons for using PLS-SEM, leading to limited use of measurement models and assessment criteria. Additionally, there is a slow progress in the practical implementation of advanced analysis techniques and a need for improved transparency in reporting analysis algorithms.

Summary: The study found that protective health behavior against COVID-19 in Thai residents was influenced by perceived risk, communication about COVID-19, and perceptions of government response. Providing more knowledge about COVID-19 is not enough to improve public health response, as individuals need to understand their risk, receive accurate communication, and see a strong government response to encourage adoption of protective health behavior. The research provided insight into protective health behavior, especially in relation to government response, but more research is needed on adoption of new behavioral recommendations and potential resistance.

Summary: The asymmetric market power between a firm and its partners negatively affects the firm's financial performance. Building relationships with suppliers or customers that have matched market power is the best approach. The strength of the buyer-supplier relationship amplifies the negative impact of asymmetric market power, while the level of relationship embeddedness reduces its negative effect. Moreover, firm-specific institutional, industry, and regional economic heterogeneities also influence the financial impact of asymmetric market power.
