Summary: This research examines the impact of institutional distance between investor and investee countries on the risk-adjusted financial performance of US-based international mutual funds. The study finds that a greater institutional distance negatively affects mutual fund financial performance, while holding a more country-concentrated portfolio has a positive impact. Additionally, the research reveals an interaction effect between the two variables, showing that the portfolio country concentration moderates the negative impact of institutional distance, supporting the information advantage theory.

Summary: Recent paradigm shifts in production modeling have expanded the scope of considerations from solely economic factors to also include environmental and social factors. However, existing sustainable production models are limited to single-stage production systems and do not address real-world challenges such as random defective output and shortages. This paper proposes a cleaner multi-stage production management system that reduces carbon emissions and promotes corporate social responsibility while maintaining economic efficiency. The paper analyzes three scenarios of random imperfect proportion and suggests a planned backorder policy to improve service level. Analytical optimization techniques are used to determine batch size and backorder quantity, minimizing overall cost. Numerical evaluation and sensitivity analysis are conducted to compare different model scenarios and provide valuable managerial insights.

Summary: The current business environment poses significant challenges and risks for supply chains. A substantial academic focus has been placed on supply chain risk management (SCRM) to address these vulnerabilities. However, existing studies on SCRM have analyzed narrow factors in isolation, resulting in a fragmented understanding of the role of organizational and technological setups. This study investigates the associations between a manufacturer's environmental, organizational, and technological contexts, SCRM, and agility, providing novel insights into effective SCRM.
