This study investigates the impact of business analytics (BA) on supply chain performance (SCP) in Saudi industrial companies. It also investigates the mediating impact of information systems supporting (ISS) and business process orientation (BPO). A total of 373 respondents working in 38 manufacturing companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) were selected. A scale with acceptable validity and reliability indicators was developed to measure the study variables. The results indicated significant indirect impact of the business analytics (planning, supply, make, delivery) on supply chain performance as ISS and BPO mediate this impact. Based on the results, a set of recommendations were proposed, industrial companies in KSA must develop the analytical capabilities for managers by increasing awareness of the benefits achieved from using business analytics approaches. It is a critical precedent for supply chain SC efficiency, and for companies to enhance their analytical capabilities with good ISS and process orientation to utilize in analyzing vast amounts of internal and external data. Directions for future research are also presented in this paper.

Authors: Alhammadi Abdulaziz D. , Alayed Sura I.
Published: February 2022

The aim of this study is to explore benchmarking reasons and their effects on benchmarking success from the perspectives of university managers in different management levels. Six reasons were examined for their role in benchmarking success. These reasons are top management support, university internal assessment, employee participation, benchmarking benefits, benchmarking competitor, and benchmarking partner. Data were gathered by a questionnaire distributed to managers from all levels in public universities. The questionnaire was developed based on related works on benchmarking. Two hundred questionnaires were distributed to the sample members and 167 questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 83.5%. The results indicated university internal assessment is the most influential reason for benchmarking success, followed by benchmarking benefits, benchmarking partner, top management support, and finally, employee participation. It was found that benchmarking competitors had no effect on benchmarking success. Therefore, universities are called for considering such reasons when heading for benchmarking. Researchers also are requested to validate such findings and to explore more reasons for benchmarking success.

Bishop’s Stevensian Architecture in Paris and After
Authors: Cleghorn Angus
Published: February 2022

This essay builds on the scholarship of Barbara Page, Bethany Hicok, Eleanor Cook, Julia E. Daniel, and Jo Gill to further examine Bishop’s use of Stevens’s poetics to recast Parisian architecture. How much of his twenties and thirties styles are found in her work? Bishop’s ever-shifting ambivalences toward French aesthetic traditions characterize her thirties poetry in contrast to the Floridian poetry; both styles are published in North & South published in 1946. Does the new bright realism found in Florida mean the end of Bishop’s French aesthetics, or do the Parisian styles endure?
From the Archives: Archive Fever in the Midst of a Pandemic
Authors: Hicok Bethany F.
Published: February 2022

When archives across the world closed last year, the author turned to images from Elizabeth Bishop’s papers stored on her laptop, tucked away in a folder that, if it were not for a global pandemic, probably would have stayed in the cloud. The folder contained a small collection of postcards and letters that Bishop sent to her friend Chester Page in the early 1970s. While some might find this little collection insignificant, the author argues that these objects nevertheless present us with a small, illuminated window into the poet’s world and art.
Bishop and Wölfflin: The Painterly Geometry
Authors: Cheema Amna Umer
Published: February 2022

This article establishes Elizabeth Bishop’s relationship with art historian Heinrich Wölfflin through an in-depth analysis of the former’s landscape poems, “Questions of Travel,” “Cape Breton” and “The End of March.” Bishop’s poetry is shown to exercise Wölfflin’s “painterly” geometry to soften stationary shapes and enhance her language’s ability to paint her poetic environment. This study focuses on Bishop’s geometry of indeterminate lines as incomplete and unclear dimensions of vision, where their preference for diagonal motion references Wölfflin’s description of the “painterly […] depreciation of line” in baroque art. Bishop’s painterly lines of perception help to differentiate her spatial poetics from plastic tendencies. Her poems are not tangible facts, but spaces of dialogue. This article thus proposes that Bishop’s landscape poems show strategies of painterly paintings read as verse.
