Purpose: This research aims to investigate the effect of supply chain dynamics and flexibility in the face of disruptions on financial performance with the mediating role of supply chain resilience.Methodology: The present study is descriptive-correlational regarding purpose and data collection. The statistical sample of the present study is 217 business managers of pharmaceutical companies according to the formula for determining the sample size of Cochran, observing the success ratio in this research and considering the error coefficient of 0.05. All extracted data are analyzed using SPSS23 and SmartPls statistical software in the inferential statistics section. Analysis of variance-based structural equations has been used to analyze the data.Findings: The study results show that the dynamics and flexibility of the supply chain in the face of disruptions affect financial performance with the mediating role of supply chain resilience. Supply chain flexibility is also affected by the direction of supply chain disruption. However, the financial performance effects on supply chain disruption orientation can be controlled through supply chain flexibility.Originality/Value: The study results can help design a strategic resilience plan for pharmaceutical companies. Accordingly, it proposes to supply chain managers that when faced with disruptions, the dynamics and flexibility of the supply chain should be increased to improve network resilience.

Purpose: According to the contingency theory, the success of any organization depends on the implementation of designs tailored to the capabilities and infrastructure of that organization. Paying attention to the capabilities and infrastructure in designing innovation strategies can improve the financial performance of any organization. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effects of innovation strategies on financial performance mediated by contingency variables such as human capital, structural capital, customer capital, management accounting information systems, internal process performance, and customer performance.Methodology: The present study is practical and considered a descriptive-exploratory correlation study. The required data were collected through a questionnaire. The statistical population of the present study is the manufacturing companies of Hamadan. Regression and structural equation modelling were used to test the hypotheses and analyze the data. SPSS and SmartPLS software were also used to analyze the data.Findings: Innovation strategies positively and significantly affect financial performance. Contingency variables (human capital, structural capital, customer capital, management accounting information systems, internal process performance, and customer performance) positively and significantly affect the relationship between innovation strategies and financial performance, meaning these variables explain and mediate part of this relationship. The research findings indicate that the demographic variables of gender, age, education, field of study, years of service, and type of industry do not significantly affect financial performance.Originality/Value: Since the companies' going concern depends on their successful financial performance, innovation strategies through improving financial performance can play a significant role in the companies' going concern.

Purpose: Today, organizations must implement an innovation strategy supported by competent human resources and appropriate internal processes to succeed and achieve sustainable financial performance. Therefore, the present study investigates the role of innovation strategy in the financial performance of active manufacturing companies in Yazd province through human resource mediator variables and internal processes. Methodology: The present research is a descriptive survey. The study's statistical population consists of financial managers and senior accounting supervisors of production units in Yazd province; simple random sampling was used to select the sample, and 100 acceptable questionnaires were collected and analyzed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient confirmed the content validity of the questionnaires according to experts' opinions, and the reliability was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis. Data was analyzed using structural equation modelling, SPSS 21, and smart PLS 3 software.Findings: Findings show that the innovation strategy significantly affects human resources and internal processes, but its effect on financial performance is insignificant. On the other hand, the impact of internal processes on financial performance was substantial, but human resources did not significantly affect financial performance. The results also show that the innovation strategy does not affect financial performance through human resources, but through internal processes, it has been able to affect financial performance.Originality/Value: The significant changes created in the business environment, along with the competition, have highlighted the role of managers in managing industries to improve the organization's performance. Theoretically, contingency theory supports the relationship between innovation and performance by explaining the role of organization design. The role of human resource capability and internal processes can also be influential in this regard. Therefore, according to the research gap in the previous studies, the present study investigated the relationship between innovation strategy and financial performance with the mediating role of human resources and internal processes at the level of industrial units in Yazd province as one of the country's industrial hubs.
