Abstract

Background: State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the economies of many developed and developing countries. However, most SOEs fail to provide efficient or effective public service delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate how SOEs in Gauteng province in South Africa can enhance supply chain effectiveness (SCE).Objectives: In the study, the relationships are investigated between total quality management (TQM), competitive advantage (CA), innovation (IN), SCE in the selected South African SOEs in Gauteng province.Method: A quantitative design was adopted in which a survey questionnaire was administered to 863 supply chain practitioners working in SOEs in South Africa Gauteng province. Data were analysed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 27.0) and SMART PLS (version 3.0).Results: The results of the study showed that knowledge management and CA predict the establishment of SCE in SOEs in the Gauteng province. However, IN was not supported but is of significance towards achieving SCE in SOEs in the Gauteng province.Conclusion: The adoption of CA by SOEs over industry competitors is essential toward success.Contribution: The results of this study will contribute to the improvement of South Africa’s economy by enabling SOEs to establish a competitive edge in their respective industries.
优化南非国有企业的供应链效率
背景:国有企业在许多发达国家和发展中国家的经济中发挥着重要作用。然而,大多数国有企业未能提供高效或有效的公共服务。因此,有必要研究南非豪登省的国有企业如何提高供应链效率(SCE):本研究调查了豪滕省选定的南非国有企业中全面质量管理(TQM)、竞争优势(CA)、创新(IN)和 SCE 之间的关系:采用定量设计,向南非豪登省国有企业的 863 名供应链从业人员发放了调查问卷。借助社会科学统计软件包(SPSS 27.0)和 SMART PLS(3.0 版)对数据进行了分析:研究结果表明,知识管理和CA可预测豪登省国有企业SCE的建立。然而,IN 并未得到支持,但对豪登省国有企业实现 SCE 具有重要意义:结论:国有企业与行业竞争对手相比,采用 CA 是取得成功的关键:本研究的结果将有助于国有企业在各自行业中建立竞争优势,从而改善南非的经济状况。
