Abstract

The current shift of competition from between firms to supply chains makes supply chain strategies a valuable way of improving manufacturing competitiveness across the globe. However, the relationship between the supply chain strategies and manufacturing competitiveness has been treated piecemeal. This study examines the relationship between the supply chain strategies and manufacturing competitiveness through the resource-based view (hereinafter RBV). The study adopts a positivist philosophy and survey strategy. With the assistance of partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) the hypothesised relationships between the supply chain strategies and manufacturing competitiveness are tested with data from 300 manufacturers. The findings indicate that the supply chain strategies are positively related to manufacturing competitiveness. These findings provide support to the RBV, that internal resources are crucial for devising efficient and effective supply chain strategies. This study advances the existing knowledge of supply chain management and firm performance by linking supply chain strategies to manufacturing competitiveness. Furthermore, the results may help manufacturers to allocate resources to key supply chain strategic areas for superior competitiveness.

供应链战略对制造业竞争力的影响

当前竞争从企业之间转向供应链，使得供应链战略成为提高全球制造业竞争力的宝贵途径。然而，供应链战略与制造业竞争力之间的关系一直是零碎的。本研究透过资源基础观(以下简称RBV)来检视供应链策略与制造业竞争力的关系。本研究采用实证主义的研究理念和调查策略。借助偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)，利用300家制造商的数据对供应链战略与制造业竞争力之间的假设关系进行了检验。研究结果表明，供应链战略与制造业竞争力呈正相关。这些发现为RBV提供了支持，即内部资源对于设计高效和有效的供应链战略至关重要。本研究通过将供应链战略与制造业竞争力联系起来，推进了供应链管理与企业绩效的现有知识。此外，研究结果可以帮助制造商将资源配置到关键的供应链战略领域，以获得更高的竞争力。

期刊介绍： IJLSM proposes and fosters discussion on the development of logistics resources, with emphasis on the implications that logistics strategies and systems have on organisational productivity and competitiveness in the global and electronic markets. Globalisation of markets and logistics services are closely related to the success of a company. This perspective indicates the importance of effective logistics systems and their management for organisational effectiveness and competitiveness.
