  • BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT IN IMPLEMENTATION ORDERING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN SUPPLY CHAIN COMPANY   Order a copy of this article
    by Roy Pisela, Nilo Legowo 
    Abstract: Supply chains are highly complex business process and interconnected structures essential to the success of any company. Quick service restaurants in particular need optimal supply chain performance to ensure they have the right amount of food products and other supplies to support a new product launch, deliver on a promotion or simply provide a great customer experience. The supply chain plays a major role in modern enterprises to gain a competitive advantage in today's business environment. Since the elements of supply chain have been typically separate and independent entities, the main objective of supply chain management is to develop a mechanism to prioritise goals and to coordinate activities for optimal implementation of system. Information is the most significant element of coordination. Information technology can be used to help implement the participation of supply chain elements in the supply chain system. These critical business challenges are driving the need to focus on creating strong business process management in supply chain solution through implementation ordering management system information.

  • AI driven digital transformation in sustainable green banking: a study on the impact of AI-powered FinTech innovations on banking efficiency and customer satisfaction   Order a copy of this article
    by Prabhakar Bethapudi, Amrita Singh, Rajeshwari Parmar, Charu Goyal 
    Abstract: This study explores the role of AI-powered fintech solutions in promoting sustainable green banking, with a particular emphasis on customer satisfaction and operational effectiveness within Indian commercial banks An empirical research design was employed, utilizing primary data collected through structured questionnaires from 100 customers across five major Indian using stratified random sampling The survey measured customer attitudes, trust in AI systems, and satisfaction levels Findings show that 65% of respondents experienced improved service speed and enhanced security due to AI tools A strong correlation was identified between AI adoption and customer satisfaction (adjusted R2 = 0.819). Demographic factors like gender, income, education, and region influenced AI perceptions. Five key factors emerged: personal finance management, trust, investment advice, security, and efficiency.

  • A framework for using process mining in process discovery and assessment in robotic process automation   Order a copy of this article
    by Mohamed El Tanany, Alaa Eldin Adris, Hebatalla Kaoud 
    Abstract: This study explores the impact of process mining on process discovery and assessment in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) using a qualitative, two-phase interview approach. Findings indicate process mining positively enhances accuracy in process discovery due to accurate event logs. However, manual intervention remains crucial, especially for complex processes, as process mining alone is insufficient. A framework was developed to integrate process mining into RPA initiatives, offering a standardized methodology. Only 13 of 63 relevant process metrics are directly attainable with current process mining algorithms, highlighting its limitations as a sole source. The proposed framework, including a Fitness Funnel and Robotics Development Lifecycle Management, provides a structured, data-driven approach to optimize RPA implementation, resource allocation, and ROI.
    Keywords: process mining; robotic process automation; RPA; process discovery and assessment.

  • The uncharted nexus: exploring the mediating role of green attitude in the influence of financial knowledge and personality traits on green investment decisions   Order a copy of this article
    by Hari Prapan Sharma, Tanushree Gupta, Akash Srivastava, Nitin Sharma 
    Abstract: This study addresses a key research gap: the combined influence of financial knowledge and personality traits on green investment behaviour, particularly within the Indian context. We investigate the mediating role of green attitude in this relationship. Using a cross-sectional survey of 422 Indian respondents. Results show that financial literacy and green subjective norms significantly and positively predict green attitudes, a novel finding. However, personality characteristics showed an unexpected, insignificant negative effect. We also found that financial literacy and green subjective norms influence financial self-efficacy, which in turn positively shapes green investment attitudes. These findings extend the Theory of Planned Behaviour to green finance, underscoring the pivotal role of attitude as a psychological mediator. From a practical perspective, our research offers policymakers and financial advisors valuable insights into cultivating positive green attitudes and encouraging sustainable investment behaviours through enhanced financial literacy and the leverage of social norms.
    Keywords: financial knowledge; personality traits; green investment behaviour; financial efficacy; financial literacy.

  • The cost-efficiency evaluation of the occupational health and safety management system of an elevator manufacturing company   Order a copy of this article
    by Juan Miguel Cleffi Patrone, Yuri Dias Hamdan, Rodrigo Frank De Souza Gomes, Daniel Pacheco Lacerda, Fabio Sartori Piran 
    Abstract: It is important to evaluate the efficiency of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). This study aims to evaluate the cost efficiency of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). Efficiency will be assessed in a panel between 2020 and 2022 through a case study embedded in 18 business units in Brazil based on internal benchmarking. Cost efficiency was assessed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results show that six of the Decision Making Units (DMUs) manage economic resources efficiently, becoming a benchmark for the others. The DMUs with the lowest efficiency and the most significant resource gain to reach the levels of the best DMUs were also identified. This study contributes to expanding scientific knowledge on the importance of cost efficiency in occupational health and safety systems and presents a methodology to improve resource management.
    Keywords: data envelopment analysis; DEA; decision making units; efficiency; internal benchmarking; occupational health and safety management system; OHSMS.

  • Impact of cultural differences on standardisation in international shared service centres   Order a copy of this article
    by Pawel Pietruszewski 
    Abstract: This study explores how cultural differences impact business process standardisation in international shared service centre. Despite the widespread adoption of such centres, cultural influences on implementing and maintaining standardised processes remain underexplored. Using a mixed-methods approach, we surveyed 160 employees from a Swedish multinational company and 150 Polish employees from three organisations. This design captures how national, organisational, and professional cultures affect standardisation preferences and behaviours. Findings reveal that high uncertainty avoidance drives a preference for clear, well-defined processes but fosters resistance to change. High-power distance supports adherence to top-down directives but discourages open feedback and continuous improvement. We propose a model explaining how these cultural dimensions influence the process-management cycle and illustrate its practical use through a case study of Swedish shared service centres. The study offers tools for organisational planning, personnel management, and process design, helping managers anticipate resistance, improve communication, and adapt implementation strategies across cultures.
    Keywords: business process management; shared services; standardisation; cultural differences; uncertainty avoidance; power distance.
