Impact of IT and Sustainability on Supply Chain Performance: A DEMATEL Analysis of the Indian Automobile Industry
Sumit Chandak and Amit Chandak

The objective of this paper is to determine cause-and-effect relationships that include information technology and sustainability-related enablers to enhance the supply-chain performance of the Indian automobile industry. A systematic literature review was conducted to investigate 12 enablers related to IT and sustainability. A DEMATEL analysis was used to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between these enablers. Data were collected from the respondent's case organization, and a diagraph was developed. The diagraph represents the cause-and-effect relationship between enablers that will help improve supply chain performance. It shows the direct and indirect effects of various enablers on each other. It is up to the decision-maker whether he wants to set up the threshold value to identify all the enablers that have negligible effects on other enablers. The analysis shows that a total of nine enablers are the most important parameters to improve supply-chain performance out of the 12 identified enablers.

Supply Chain Assessment of Commercially Important Marine Fish Species in Bangladesh
Prabal Barua and Chaiti Barua

Fish are highly perishable food items that must be delivered to consumers quickly and efficiently. For commercially significant fish, it is required to ensure that they are provided to consumers at the proper time and place. The current study seeks to examine two economically important marine fish species' value chains and marketing channels in the Chattogram region of Bangladesh. The species examined were sea bass (Lates calcarifer) and Bombay duck, (Harpodon numerous). In the study, primary, secondary, and retail markets-in their combined forms-were examined. Bombay duck and sea bass had 38% and 35% marketing margins, respectively. In the primary, secondary, and retail markets, the proportion of fishermen to sales price for Bombay duck and sea bass was 86%, 73%, and 62%, respectively. Sustainable and profitable fish marketing systems require government involvement in the marine species' marketing channels.

Absolute and Comparative Competitiveness of Governing Structures: The Case of Bulgarian Agriculture
Hrabrin Bachev

The paper incorporates the achievements of interdisciplinary New Institutional Economics, suggests a holistic multi-pillar framework for assessment of the competitiveness of governing structures of farming activity, and assesses the absolute and comparative competitiveness of Bulgarian farming enterprises of different juridical types, economic sizes, product specializations, and ecological and geographical locations. Farm competitiveness is defined as the capability of an agricultural holding to maintain sustainable competitive positions in certain markets, leading to high economic performance through continuous improvement and adaptation to changing market, natural, and institutional environments. The main "pillars" of farm competitiveness are economic efficiency, financial endowment, adaptability, and sustainability. For assessing the level of competitiveness of Bulgarian farms, a holistic system of 4 criteria for each pillar and 17 particulars and 5 integral indicators is used. The study has found that the level of competitiveness of agricultural holdings in the country is at a good level, but there is significant differentiation in the level and factors of competitiveness of holdings with different juridical types, sizes, product specializations, ecological and geographical locations. The low adaptive potential and economic efficiency contribute to the greatest extent to lowering the competitiveness of Bulgarian agricultural producers. Especially critical for maintaining the competitive positions of farms are their low productivity, income, financial security, and adaptability to changes in the natural environment, in which directions the public support of farms and their management strategies for development should be directed. A large share of farms of different types has a low level of competitiveness, and if measures are not taken in due time to increase competitiveness by improving the management and restructuring of farms, adequate state support, etc., a large part of Bulgarian farms will cease to exist in the near future.
