Abstract

In today’s hypercompetitive environment, it is critical for manufacturing firms to be agile in responding to ephemeral opportunities in the marketplace. This agility often requires the collaboration with supply chain partners. However, how a manufacturing firm collaborates with its suppliers to achieve agility remains an understudied issue. This study holds that manufacturing firms and their suppliers need to develop manufacturer-supplier flexibility accompanied with well-built integrated information systems and associated analytical systems (such as business intelligence) to enable manufacturer agility. To deepen our understanding of the roles of manufacturer-supplier flexibility and IOS technologies in facilitating manufacturer agility, we build and test a model based on the real options theory and bounded rationality. Based on 141 matched-pair samples of Taiwanese manufacturing firms, our findings demonstrate the importance of manufacturer-supplier flexibility in achieving higher manufacturer agility, wherein IOS integration enables better flexibility. We also show IOS-enabled analytical ability can strengthen the effect of such flexibility on manufacturer agility. Implications of the results for practices and academics are provided.

IOS驱动制造商-供应商灵活性和制造商敏捷性

在当今竞争激烈的环境中，对于制造企业来说，敏捷地应对市场上短暂的机会是至关重要的。这种敏捷性通常需要与供应链合作伙伴进行协作。然而，制造企业如何与供应商合作以实现敏捷性仍然是一个未充分研究的问题。本研究认为，制造企业及其供应商需要发展制造商-供应商的灵活性，并伴随良好构建的集成信息系统和相关分析系统(如商业智能)，以实现制造商的敏捷性。为了加深我们对制造商-供应商灵活性和IOS技术在促进制造商敏捷性中的作用的理解，我们基于实物期权理论和有限理性建立了一个模型并进行了测试。基于141个台湾制造企业的配对样本，我们的研究结果证明了制造商-供应商灵活性对于实现更高的制造商敏捷性的重要性，其中IOS集成可以实现更好的灵活性。我们还展示了支持ios的分析能力可以增强这种灵活性对制造商敏捷性的影响。研究结果对实践和学术界的启示。
